Tokyo: My Superpower Refreshes Every Week-Chapter 810 - 801: Tomb Exploration (Part 2)

Phoenix Academy Maggie criticized his frivolity, yet still followed the direction he chose.

...

The three of them walked along the right path, and the further they went, the narrower it became.

The width reduced from accommodating thirteen people walking side by side to only four people at most.

The ground and ceiling glowed a cold blue.

Fortunately, there were no so-called traps beneath their feet that would trigger something if stepped on.

However, this continuous calm with nothing happening instead made the psychological pressure even greater.

Because they didn't know what scene awaited them next.

Phoenix Academy Maggie raised the Sword of Promised Victory, seeing a bright white light ahead.

Her porcelain doll-like face instantly turned serious, and she shouted, "Be careful."

"Okay."

The two responded in unison.

Phoenix Academy Maggie continued forward, seeing a spacious square within the white light ahead.

She stopped at the entrance, scanned the ground and space, and found nothing.

There was also an exit up ahead, which appeared very dark inside.

"Hojo, you cover me, Aozawa, get ready to use the Will-o'-the-wisp."

Phoenix Academy Maggie gripped the Sword of Promised Victory tightly and stepped forward.

With a clank, she stepped on a trap, her balance slightly shifted downward.

Hojo Shouko kindly reminded her, "Phoenix Academy's Senior, you stepped on a trap."

"Indeed, speaking so coolly, yet you're the first to fall for it."

Aozawa's remark made it seem like a crow flew over her head.

Phoenix Academy Maggie's pale cheeks instantly turned red, and she turned back, shouting, "Nonsense, how can you blame me for that.

Anyone walking in front would have stepped on it, right!"

With a rumble, the entire space began to tremble, and hives appeared one after another above.

Phoenix Academy Maggie's shame and anger turned into killing intent, she swept her eyes towards those insect hives.

Buzz~

Amidst a hum of buzzing sounds, a large swarm of insects rushed out.

They resembled mosquitoes in appearance, but their tails bore the stingers of bees.

Each one was about the size of a baby's fist.

Getting bitten or stung by those insects obviously wouldn't bode well.

"Die, all of you!"

Phoenix Academy Maggie growled lowly, and the Sword of Promised Victory's light surged in an instant, sweeping forward.

With a sizzle, like a hot knife cutting through solid butter, a crisp sound was heard.

A large number of insects were swept down, and more rushed over.

Aozawa used Will-o'-the-wisp, causing the insects to tear at each other in midair.

Before long, the insects fell to the ground like rain, their bodies covering the white floor, looking extremely disgusting.

Hojo Shouko used Heavenly Lock to sweep away the bodies, clearing a path for the three of them to pass through.

"Maggie, you need to be more careful."

"Shut up!"

Phoenix Academy Maggie glared fiercely at Aozawa; truly a case of touching a sore spot.

She walked ahead in large strides, wanting to say she wouldn't fall into any more traps, but thinking it over, wouldn't it be embarrassing if she fell into another one?

Phoenix Academy Maggie stopped and looked at Hojo Shouko.

"It's safer to use Heavenly Lock up ahead."

"Okay."

Hojo Shouko nodded obediently and once again used Heavenly Lock to lift the three of them, flying towards the other side of the passageway.

Continuing along the dark passage, they arrived at what seemed to be the deepest part of the tomb.

There was a door here.

About twenty or thirty meters tall.

The ground was wide, with huge stone statues on either side of the door, resembling demons from Western movies.

They crouched on stone platforms, eyes closed tightly.

Phoenix Academy Maggie glanced at the statues and the door, saying solemnly, "Inside might just be where the three are buried.

In a moment, we'll break through quickly.

Aozawa, you need to find the images of the three immediately."

"No problem."

Aozawa nodded.

Hojo Shouko manipulated the Heavenly Lock to send the three of them to the entrance; several chains of the Heavenly Lock attempted to push open the stone door.

At that moment, a creaking sound rang out. The stone statues standing at the entrance suddenly moved, opened their eyes, and emitted a strange shriek.

They suddenly flew off the stone platform.

"Kekeke!"

The eyes of the two stone statues glowed crimson, and they let out a piercing laugh. With mouths full of fangs, they lunged madly at the trio as a starving beast would towards a piece of meat on the ground.

In Phoenix Academy Maggie's hand, the light of the Sword of Promised Victory surged tens of meters, sweeping across like an army to fall upon the two stone statues.

Clang!

The sound of metals clashing burst out as the two stone statues were swept together, crashing into the sidewall.

"Quick, open the door!"

She shouted.

Hojo Shouko used thousands of heavenly chains to ram the gate deep within the tomb.

Boom!

The gigantic stone door was busted open.

Pairs of crimson lights lit up in the dark, indicating the presence of at least hundreds of stone statues.

...

Hiss!

Even Hojo Shouko gasped, fully aware of how sharp the Phoenix Academy Maggie's Sword of Promised Victory was.

Yet, even such a sharp Sword of Promised Victory was unable to cleave the two stone statues.

It merely sent them slamming into the wall, leaving a slight mark. This demonstrated how hard those statues truly were.

The stone statues before her were no different from those outside.

"Kekeke!"

They laughed maniacally, their voices resonating in the darkness, their wings flapping to create a gusty wind.

In an instant, they formed an overwhelming force that covered the sky.

Aozawa immediately raised his hand, using the Will-o'-the-wisp to make the charging stone statues turn and attack the ones beside them.

Bang bang, the sound in the air was as dull as thunder, and Hojo Shouko promptly used thousands of heavenly chains to entangle them, trying to sweep them aside. Yet, the statues' power was so immense that she could only force a narrow gap to allow passage.

Seeing this, Aozawa quickly darted through. Ahead was a dim gloom, and above was the "jungle" formed by the Heavenly Lock.

A thud echoed, with one stone statue breaking free from the Heavenly Lock's restraint, targeting the sprinting Aozawa, lunging down ferociously.

At this moment, golden light pierced the darkness like a meteor, making the statue halt and switch to using its claws to block.

Boom! Claws and the golden light sword collided, and the resulting sparks vanished in a flash.

Phoenix Academy Maggie jabbed it away with one sword strike, allowing Aozawa to reach the three coffins and see the imprinted likenesses of the three people on the coffin lids.

Just then, the air temperature suddenly became increasingly scorching.

Bang, the ceiling above turned into magma, mixed with crimson flames crashing down heavily.

Hojo Shouko quickly controlled the Heavenly Lock to wrap around herself and Phoenix Academy Maggie.

Boom, the intense flames seemed to become corporeal, incinerating the stone statues present entirely.

"Who the hell sent you here?"

Xius's voice was filled with rage, blood-red flames burned on the ground, even vaporizing the magma.

He stood on the charred land, like a Flame Demon God about to end the world, emitting immense ferocity and brutality, "You're still alive?

Fine, I'll send you off now!"

Through the Heavenly Lock, Phoenix Academy Maggie saw Xius's angry expression, his golden hair appearing strangely alluring amidst the blood-red flames.

Every step he took caused explosive flames, like a supervolcano on the verge of eruption.

The oppressive might almost made Phoenix Academy Maggie unable to breathe, not just psychologically but also physically suffocated.

The air grew thinner under the intense heat, an attack even the Heavenly Lock could not withstand.

"Ha, ha."

Phoenix Academy Maggie gasped continuously, barely drawing in much air.

In just a short while, both her and Hojo Shouko's complexions turned extremely pale, with sweat on their foreheads gradually drying up.

Now they could only hope Aozawa found the images of the three.

If delayed, the three of them wouldn't leave here alive.

Xius angrily approached, then suddenly stopped in his tracks, and the fury on his face vanished instantly.

He stared blankly behind the two, muttering, "No, impossible, such a thing can't be!

Fake, it must be fake!"

Xius howled.

This man, who easily massacred cityfolk like a Demon God, actually shed two lines of tears.
