Chapter 279 - Volume 3
Chapter 58 – King of the underground (9)
The underground world was seemingly shrouded in endless darkness. The long tunnels were mostly silent, with the exception of the rare dripping sound of water onto the ground.
Medissa had to rest after driving away large batches of uninvited creatures that came from the deeper levels. Even though she was a spirit, it did not mean her Soul Fire could continuously output energy. There was a limit that how active an undead could be.
But there was no need for her to require the use of external sources of light. Her eyes glowed in the darkness from her Soul Fire and allowed her to see far into the tunnels.
The Elven princess did not sit down. She was currently standing up against the wall while holding on to her spear. Countless shards of Rock Panther filled the area around her, as well as the path she had taken earlier. After a moment of silence, she faced towards the end of a forked corner and asked:
“Is there a lift in that direction?”
The only person who was breathing came from the other end of the tunnel. She was not alone in the darkness.
“Yes.” A voice answered her.
Brendel pondered for a while before he shook his head: “Your promise means very little. We might be able to get along here, but once we leave the surface, how do we ensure that you’re not going to run away and inform your superiors?”
He could make Tagiv swear to its gods, but humans were a bunch of faithless people. Even though they would frequently bring up Marsha on their lips, they mostly treated it as a sham.
Kodan merely shrugged with open palms: “This old man is heavily injured. Even if I want to run, I can’t.”
