Chapter 207 Green pyramid
"What do we do next?" asked Persephone after filling her water bottle. She looked at the white-haired boy, who was scanning the forest ahead of them.
"I suppose we should enter the pyramid, but I can sense some creatures around it," he said, frowning. "One creature is a Base-Titan rank, and the other two are Maximum-Demon," he added, his red eyes piercing her with a smile. "Tell me, do you think you can handle those two, or would you prefer me to help you kill the titan first, and then we deal with the others?
But keep in mind that there will be noise, and we'll attract attention. What do you prefer?"
Persephone hesitated. She was only of Base-Gold rank. "I think it's better if you help me kill the titan," she said with an uneasy smile.
"Perfect, then we'll move silently," he concluded before starting to move.
Persephone, as a mage, had some difficulties. There were huge rocks on the ground, grass that grew almost two meters tall, and also some poisonous plants.
"Watch out for the mushroom in front of you," heard the voice of the white-haired boy. Persephone opened her eyes and saw a small mushroom beneath her.@@@@
"How did you know?" she asked curiously. Anthony smiled. "It was glowing. Anything that glows is often poison on many occasions, especially when it comes to plants."
"This could be addictive," thought Anthony internally, with a smile, as he observed the surroundings. He disappeared from the place with a movement of his shadow step, reappearing where he had left Persephone.
He looked at the girl who was standing with her back to him, an aura of caution emanating from her. As he touched her shoulder, she jumped with a scream, reacting instinctively to his presence. The girl got on guard, raising her hands in a defensive stance, like a feline ready for combat: "Let's go, I've taken care of everyone," he said to Persephone.
In a flash, the two disappeared from the place and reappeared in front of the imposing pyramid. The structure rose majestically before them. Anthony estimated its height to be about 50 meters.
Vaguely recalling in his memories about this place, Anthony knew that hidden inside the pyramid were treasures: an artifact and a unique crystal. However, he had no intention of claiming those treasures for himself. Instead, his focus was on Persephone, to help her reach the first place in the event.
After all, he had already accumulated enough points in the previous event, and this is the only way for her to ascend in class.
Climbing up the stairs, which led to the main entrance, had greenish moss and a slightly damp smell. Upon reaching the top, they found themselves in a large space, a hallway in a few words. There were small holes in the walls, and the floor was shaped like squares. Somehow, it seemed a lot like the trap that was always in these kinds of places.
"Can you look for traps or hidden mechanisms?" Anthony asked Persephone. She put her hand on the floor, and her sickly green mana came out of her hands. It was unpleasant and horrible, at least for the naive and foolish who had no idea what kind of magic it was. Read the latest on My Virtual Library Empire
"You're amazing, Persephone. Your magic is considered forbidden and evil by the church, but they won't have any choice but to accept it," thought Anthony with a smile. She closed her eyes and stayed still for a few moments, then opened them and they glowed faintly. "I can't find anything," she said as she got up. Anthony nodded, trusting Persephone's verdict.
They walked down the hallway for a few minutes, and Anthony noticed it was getting narrower. At one point, they had to go sideways to be able to move forward. At the end of the hallway, they found a spiral staircase leading to the second floor, there were some corpses on the ground, many of them, but there was something strange: the corpses formed a circle around the staircase.
