Chapter 30

"Dark Infinity you said? Isn't that religion forbidden by God Ila?' said Tiecia.

"Yes. Tosona, Goddess of Secrecy has a dark side to humans. Especially the Dark Infinity religion itself. If you look carefully, this place is most likely an altar," said Issac.

"Altar huh? To think that there is a secret place that has never been revealed by anyone," Reynold said.

"Judging from your reaction, not too surprised to know that place."

The silver-haired boy walked up to Tiecia and Reynolds. Apparently, Reynold wasn't too enthusiastic about this kind of place. If you pay close attention, many corners of the room have been modified. From bookshelves that appeared suddenly, weapons to cobwebs scattered in the corners of the room. Issac picked up a book called monster names like rough sketches. Issac compares the picture in the book to the wall. Very similar. Highlight the two eyeballs fixed on the image. The index finger touch follows the outline of the monster sketch. Tiecia and Reynold glanced at each other, watching Issac seriously.

"What are you doing?"

However there was no response from the silver haired boy. Two fingers licked lightning, opening page by page. Trying to understand the contents of the Epuni language. Until there was an article containing the involvement of Meriley Village. Index finger while walking turn right. Find a bookshelf. The words read 'death', 'blue blood' and 'Uknown Origin'. He picked up a golden yellow cover book. Suddenly, the shelf opens automatically. There are stairs leading downstairs. Reynold and Tiecia took a quick breath.

"How did you find it so quickly?"

"You're underestimating me huh?" grunted Isaac.

"Sorry. I'm surprised you know so much," Reynold said.

"I don't know… I don't really remember myself. But when there were keywords such as 'death', 'blue blood' and 'Uknown Origin', I realized one thing. That is a secret door. But I don't really remember how I managed to remember all that."

Reynold's mouth opened slightly. Stunned by Issac's words. On the other hand, a silver-haired man stepped inside. Climbing the stairs while flashing her wand, using light elemental magic energy. Followed by Reynold and Tiecia.

The walls are made of rocks that form one part. There is a light like a torch, burning incessantly. Issac and the others carefully tread. Afraid that one of them would step on a trap. Staying 150 meters away, they found a hole without a door. Isaac stood on tiptoe. Touching the wall while observing from a room. You can see ten people circling Andrew Webb. What a shock when the room was filled with torture devices and a statue similar to the sketch. Inside, there are ten connected sides of a tubular device. Filled with light green liquid bubbles. The pipe is connected to a chair in a knot. The sound of the piano organ's pipes being sounded. Chanting a symphonic song summons monsters.

Someone brought a golden pillow dominated by gold. Brought a golden glass flute. Walk stomping his feet. As the music plays a song of death and sacrifice, a punch lands on Andrew Webb.

"Stop all of you!" he screamed.

However, they wore lipless clown masks. The masked woman approaches Andrew. Holding his chin while staring intently.

"Shut up, useless boy!" the masked woman snapped slapping her cheeks hard.

Andrew's face was covered in blood and bruised all at once. One by one his teeth fell out. The right cheek was covered in a slap wound from the masked woman. The slaps continued until his face turned red. The large masked man stretched his fingers. Throwing punches repeatedly.

"This is all your fault. Because of you, many of our comrades have died you know!"

"Wait! What are you talking about? I don't understand," Andrew whispered, trying to digest the big man's words.

However, the hard punches hit the face and stomach repeatedly, causing Andrew to cough up blood accompanied by phlegm. His legs were shaking, followed by bruises on his arms as well. Not to forget, one of them brought a pear choker. The tool has four sides where there is a hexagon shaped center. Much like the gears of the old era. In equal parts, the short handle forms a spiral, connected with four sides like a flower in a bud. Meanwhile, the tip, the symbol bearing Dark Infinity with a picture of a monster.

One of the men brought the tool, opened the iron bud. Closer to Andrew's lips. Then, locked tightly. Tears filled her eyes as she begged for forgiveness.

"I can't hear you," he said, twisting the pear choker.

A shrill scream without a word. Blood seeped between his cheeks. His lips were thrown into the trash. Meanwhile, the masked man wiped the blood with a cloth. Both arms and legs stiffened from the twist of the choker pear just now. Tiecia turned her head away. Couldn't stand the torture just now. The blonde girl turned to the two boys. Strangely, they didn't flinch from the torture just now. In contrast, Issac and Reynold were interested in the statue that was there.

"Why aren't you guys surprised at all?"

"In fact, I asked you. Why is that statue there?"

"Statue?" Tiecia repeated her words.

Slowly, he gasped in shock at Reynold's words. Its mouth was wide open, gaping in disbelief at its large size.

"How could that be-"

"You think we're focused on the torture that Andrew Webb did? It's just a waste of time, Tiecia."

Issac's words were like a slap in his face for ignoring people asking for help. The blonde girl was eager to help him. However, until now both of them chose not to move. They didn't show their fear. Which in his mind how the statue was there.

Meanwhile, Reynold and Issac also wonder about the secret place. The two continued on their way. Holding Tiecia's hand so as not to tremble.

"What are you-"

"Calm yourself, Tiecia."

The blonde haired girl stared at the backs of the two boys holding Tiecia's arms, without making a single sound. They walked stealthily. Tiecia was astonished by the attitude of the two. As if they were used to it.

"You two… I want to ask—"

Suddenly, Reynold raised his left arm, indicating to stop moving. They found four black robed people. Go down the stairs. Tiecia took out her staff, activating trace removal magic. Reynold and Issac were taken aback by the blonde haired girl's actions on reflex.

"Good work, Tiecia."

But that didn't necessarily make Tiecia happy. Because their footsteps were getting closer. At first glance, no one knows of its existence. Until Issac found a surprising thing. A familiar figure appeared beside him.

"No way… Maisie," Issac whispered.

"That Elliot Prince's fiancé?" Reynolds said in a whisper.

"Yes. There's no mistaking Reynolds. Likely, they headed for the room over there. But what are they for—"

Only then did the silver-haired man notice something was amiss. Maisie carried nothing but a male figure carrying a book and items stored in a transparent box. Reynold was wide-eyed in shock. A heart organ is connected to a person's body. Assume the person carrying the box is a suitable sacrifice.

"What a fool."

"Huh?"

"That is the heart of the monster The Blind Angel Snake."
