Tokyo: My Superpower Refreshes Every Week-Chapter 809 - 801: Tomb Exploration
Following Naraku's map guidance, the three of them arrived at a canyon.
Phoenix Academy Maggie stood at the edge of the canyon, looking down, below was a barren wasteland.
In the center of the wasteland, a stone door was embedded in the ground, looking extremely eerie.
Beside the door, clear traces of fire could be seen.
In fact, upon arriving here, Phoenix Academy Maggie could feel the heat in the air.
This wasteland was evidently caused by Xius.
After a brief pause, Phoenix Academy Maggie turned her head to Hojo Shouko and said, "Let's do it!"
"Okay."
Hojo Shouko nodded, raised her small hand, and a hundred Heavenly Locks shot out from a golden ring, striking down the canyon like thunder from the heavens.
With a swoosh, the Golden Wedges pierced the ground, then slowly crawled upward, breaking through the rocks and opening the door from the inside.
Grrr~
A heavy sound echoed as the giant stone door slowly opened, blowing out a hot gust of air.
The entire canyon became increasingly hot; after Hojo Shouko opened the door, a downward passage led into the darkness.
Hojo Shouko manipulated the Heavenly Lock to carry the two of them without tying it around their waists, instead forming chairs for them to sit on for added comfort.
She did the same for herself.
The three of them ventured down from the canyon, avoiding the steps below to prevent triggering any mechanisms.
The Heavenly Lock carried the three of them all the way downward.
"It's so dark!"
The passage had no lights, everything seemed so dim.
Phoenix Academy Maggie had to draw the Sword of Promised Victory, controlling its glow to about two meters, its golden light illuminating the surrounding darkness.
Enabling them to see the staircase leading down and the path extending forward.
The three descended to the bottom.
On both sides were sixteen coffins.
The air was filled with a strong burnt smell, and in front of the coffins was a massive shadow wall.
Above the shadow wall was an extremely fragmented pattern.
Below were monsters rampaging, destroying, and slaughtering in a village.
Above was a pure blue sky, a white eagle replacing the sun, as the tormented people ignored the monsters and reached out to the eagle soaring in the sky.
Like supplicating lambs, they prayed for redemption.
The depiction on the shadow wall was vivid, with each person's expression lifelike.
Giving Phoenix Academy Maggie a sense of inexplicable sanctity.
Hawk of Light!
Is this place also a follower of the Milante Ancient Scripture?
Phoenix Academy Maggie, upon seeing the pattern, instantly guessed what it was about.
While she was pondering, a thumping sound broke the silence of the place.
Phoenix Academy Maggie scanned the coffins to the sides, seeing the covers that were initially sealed being pushed to the ground.
Sixteen charred corpses crawled out.
The surfaces of their bodies seemed to be burnt by intense fire, without eyeballs, resembling skeletal frames with charred bits of flesh clinging to them. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Aozawa took a step back and said, "Will-o'-the-wisp doesn't work on the blind."
"I can't comprehend how your Will-o'-the-wisp operates."
Phoenix Academy Maggie quipped, remembering that Xius probably hadn't seen Aozawa's Will-o'-the-wisp either.
Maybe, he might have accidentally glimpsed it.
She set aside that curiosity, lifted the Sword of Promised Victory, and, with intentional control, extended the glowing sword to about six meters.
The golden light illuminated the dim space like the sun.
The sixteen corpses rushed forward.
Phoenix Academy Maggie spun on her heel, wielding her sword with both hands, circled around, and drew a graceful circle in the air, severing the charred corpses.
With a thud, they fell to the ground, still not quite dead, their upper bodies bouncing on the ground.
They clapped their hands together, opened their mouths, and lunged forward to bite.
Hundreds of Heavenly Locks burst out from the golden ring.
With a swoosh, Hojo Shouko used the Heavenly Lock to entangle them together.
Crack, the Heavenly Lock began turning inward, but the sound resembled not the locking of flesh, but binding on a metallic surface.
Seeing this, Hojo Shouko changed to hoisting them up into the air, saying, "Phoenix Academy's Senior, only your attacks can harm them.
Heavenly Lock cannot damage them; it's too hard."
"Okay."
Phoenix Academy Maggie raised her sword, chopping them down one by one, as if cutting vegetables, chopping them into pieces.
After being chopped into several pieces, they finally lost the strength to move further.
Phoenix Academy Maggie turned to the shadow wall ahead, not rushing to move immediately, but carefully noting the contents above.
Such mythical stories carved into a tomb might harbor hidden meanings behind them.
Unfortunately, without a phone to capture the moment.
Thinking of this, Phoenix Academy Maggie turned her head to ask, "Aozawa, did you bring a cell phone?"
"No."
Aozawa shook his head.
Phoenix Academy Maggie gave him a white-eyed glance, clearly attached to his phone at ordinary times, yet not having it on him at this crucial moment.
Forget it, Phoenix Academy Maggie could only memorize these, circling to the back of the shadow wall, presenting two paths before them.
Phoenix Academy Maggie glanced left and right.
Splitting up was certainly not an option.
Once they penetrated deeper into the tomb, Xius would detect them.
He would rush over at the first opportunity.
If the three of them split up then, and Aozawa didn't find the place with the portrait, they would be in big trouble on the spot.
"Which way should we go?"
Upon hearing Phoenix Academy Maggie's question, Hojo Shouko fell into contemplation, while Aozawa seemed carefree, raised his hand and said, "Eenie, meenie, miney, moe, we'll go whichever way it lands on.
Let's go right."
"This is a matter of life and death!"
