Saga of Atlantis

Chapter 190 Underground [1]

"Ahh, fuck me."

But instead of the woman, I found a horde of blood beasts slowly waking up from their hibernation.

Fuck!

Fuck!

How the fuck did they wake up!?

Didn't we make sure not to leave anything that could leave fresh blood to wake them up?

"FUCK!!"

I cursed, leaning my body over the wall to look at the ground below.

Once again, I confirmed that the horde of blood beasts had indeed woken up.

"Hmm!?"

But my gaze hardened as I looked at the one opening that shined even in the complete darkness below.

It was a small space leading underground with only an opening big enough for one person to pass through at a time.

Gentle golden light enclosed the place.

....Where did that come from?

And why I don't have any fucking ide—.

"Not the time!!"

I exclaimed, turning on my heels before running inside the building.

The horde of blood beasts would soon surround us, and we needed to move out of the building before that happened.

"...Hey Edda!!" As I rushed through the building, I called out.

[Yes?]

"...you saw that woman, didn't you?"

[The one with black hair and golden eyes?]

"...Yes!!"

Then that means I wasn't hallucinating.

She was indeed real...

"...But who the hell was she?"

From the way she talked and called my name, it's clear that she knows me, but how?

Is she a ghost?

Or someone that my other self knows about?

[.....]

Of course you won't answer....

Useless system.

"Neil?"

My gaze abruptly shifted towards the beautiful black-haired girl who looked at me in confusion as I ran towards her.

"Elysia?" I called, rushing towards her.

"What's going on?" Frowning, she asked, her gaze roaming. "...Are you hearing those noises as well?"

I also took a moment to hear the noise and...I could hear it...the low, unsettling growling, screams of the blood beasts from outside....

"The blood beasts," I mumbled, looking at her. "...They woke up."

"What?" She asked, throwing a startled glance at me.

"..Where is Nadya?"

I asked, my voice laced with concern. I should have found Nadya first before Elysia.

"...Calm down." She urged, breaking my rush by placing her palms on my chest as I arrived close to her.

"...Where is she?" I asked again, looking around the place which was still dark.

"....."

....Seriously?

Right now? Right here?

"...Hey! You are the one who asked to tell you whenever I feel weird."

Looking at my dumbfounded face, she hastily explained while her cheeks turned slightly red.

"...Right," I mumbled, looking at her wearing a maid dress, she was fully ready—.

"...Wait, are those garter belts?"

My eyes shifted towards her legs as I also noticed what Elysia pointed out...

"...Yes...they are." Nadya nodded, slightly lifting her skirt to show pure black belts enveloping her thighs.

...hmm.

....So we are in the building which is getting filled with blood beasts from the bottom, leaving us nowhere to go....

....and also a horny girl, who is eyeing me....

For fuck's sake, at least they should have let me enjoy my night...

"...Not the time," I grumbled, biting my lips as we reached the terrace of the building.

Once again, I moved towards the place where I saw the opening while Nadya and Elysia followed behind me.

"What's that?" she asked, squinting in the dim light.

"I have no idea," I replied, shrugging my shoulders as I looked at the opening.

.....Maybe it's just me...but that's definitely something suspicious...

Not to mention that lady I saw...

Was she an illusion? Or was she something else?

"....Should we check it out?" Elysia asked, her voice trembling slightly at the eeriness of the situation.

"Neil..." I shifted my focus towards Nadya as she looked at me deeply. "Did something happen when you were alone?"

"...I saw someone," I replied honestly while sending a small amount of Star Energy into my bracelet.

"...I see," she mumbled, squinting her eyes but didn't ask further.

"....We are going down." Looking at the three, I instructed while the bracelet in my hand turned into a chain going downwards.

Elysia and Nadya nodded in agreement while Linda stayed the same.

Well...she doesn't have any will of her own anyway.

"I'll go first," Elysia volunteered, stepping forward.

"No, I will go first," I said, holding her back gently. "If anything goes wrong, I'll handle it."

"...I can—."

"... please Nadya!!" Elysia exclaimed, glaring at her sister, "...No more horny jokes."

"Tch."

Ignoring both sisters, I fixed the chain with the building before slowly descending below.

The gentle breeze of the wind echoed in my ear as I slowly reached the opening...

As soon as I reached the ground below, I let go of the chain before crouching down, entering the chamber...

And after a few seconds of struggle, I found myself in a small underground chamber...

The chamber was illuminated by golden runes etched into the walls, glowing softly...

And at the center, I saw something that I never thought I would see in this world...

"....Life signature detected."

The soft, feminine voice that lacks emotion and the pronunciation identical to that of Edda.

It's a computer...

A computer is in front of me...
