To reach the ancient castle, they had to pass through the central cemetery of the manor.
As the team sprinted through the enormous cemetery, they distinctly felt something deep beneath their feet watching them.
It seemed as if a monstrous brain was hiding deep within the graveyard.
Unlike the demons the team had faced before, this brain's mental coverage spanned the entire manor, monitoring all movements within... it belonged to a particularly difficult to deal with psychic species.
Moreover, it seemed that there were countless terrifying lives hidden deep underground. Just getting close to the tombstones here, one could hear the grinding teeth sounds of the ghouls.
"There are demons below this too?! What's going on... isn't this area managed by the Steam Knights?"
The four of them were drenched in cold sweat.
However, an even more terrifying [Corpse Keeper] was not too far behind them.
Given the situation, the ancient castle was their only option.
