Chapter 540 Behind the door

But I just said, "There's no point waiting here when it's clear that nothing is going to happen. We don't have all night to stay here, so we should at least see what's behind the door."

Cecilia deeply knitted her brows when she heard this, but she eventually gave a nod of agreement.

She too knew that it was too late to back down now that they had come this far.

At the very least, they should see what was behind the door.

But Cecilia made sure that she was in front of me as we moved forward.

She had her sword raised and was fully on alert, not intending to let a single thing happen to me.

The only reason that I was even allowed to go forward was because I had been the one that opened the door.

So we slowly inched towards the door until we were standing right in front of it.

It was pitch dark through the door frame, so I raised my magical light up in front of it to see if it could cast any light in.

When it did, all we could see was a set of stairs that seemed to be leading downwards.

Seeing this, Cecilia naturally didn't allow me to go first.

She looked at me and I could see what she was intending to do, so with a sigh, I stepped back.

Her subordinates immediately came forward to surround me while two went to Cecilia's side to be in the vanguard with her.

The three of them had their weapons raised as they led the way down the stairs.

However, it was pitch dark, so I summoned a few more magical lights to help light the way.

But it really didn't help cut through the darkness that was in front of us.

This was a darkness that was like the deep dark of the night, a darkness that was so strong that even the brightest light might not cut through. So it was hard for my magical light to light up that far ahead of us.

It only lit up a few steps down in front of Cecilia and the two with her, so they progressed very slowly.

Eventually, we were able to reach an end.

Eventually, there was some kind of light that appeared in front of us.

These stairs had been heading down, but we hadn't been able to see anything that was under us other than the stairs.

That was until we saw a few blue flames under us.

These blue flames had been faint at first, but they soon made themselves clear.

So clear that it almost seemed like they were the only thing down there.

So clear that…

"Ghosts!" One of the knights couldn't help screaming when he saw these lights.

But he immediately calmed down when he felt the glare from Cecilia on him.

He closed his mouth and returned to his position, but the trembling that came from him made it clear that he was terrified.

However, it seemed that he was terrified for no reason since these flames were not ghosts.

We soon saw that these flames were torches.

Though there was something for us to be cautious of.

With the faint light of these blue flames, we were able to make out the shape of the things around them.

Buildings, there were many buildings spread out over a large space.

It was a city.

There was a complete city that was underground, under the dungeon.

Just where did this city come from?

However, at that point, that wasn't our main concern.

This was a city that had blue flame torches scattered all around it.

There was no doubt that there would be people living in this place if there were still torches burning here.

So the first thing that we did was immediately rush down the stairs.

This might seem dangerous, but the stairs were just too open for us to protect ourselves. We were basically an open target in the air just by standing on these stairs that looked over this underground city.

Once we came off the stairs, the first thing that we did was find a building to take shelter in.

This was a risk since there might be residents in this building, but we couldn't just let ourselves stay outside.

But to our surprise, we found that there wasn't a single person in this building that we took shelter in.

The building that we took shelter in seemed like a normal household, it was just that it was missing their residents.

When we looked closer, we found that there was even food that was waiting on the table for someone to eat. It was still fresh since there was even steam that was coming from it.

Whoever lived in this house had just finished cooking and had evacuated right before we came in.

Cecilia knew that this was bad, so she didn't hesitate to say, "Grab whatever you can and barricade the doors and windows. We can only assume that they know that we're here, so be prepared to hold down in this place."

Her subordinates immediately sprang into action when they heard this.

However, they found…that they couldn't move anything in this house.

When they tried to move the furniture, they found that these things were held in place and wouldn't budge an inch. No matter how much strength they used, it just wouldn't move a single inch.

It was as if they had been firmly nailed in place.

While that was happening, I was looking at the food that was on the table.

I could feel a strange sensation that was coming from it, so I had been carefully looking at it.

After staring for a bit, I said, "Alright, you can stop trying to barricade this place. There's no danger."
