At this moment, he regretted his carelessness once again—he had been fighting Felsa and had completely ignored the red-haired girl who had been by his side the whole time but had disappeared during the battle.
Philsa's companions rescued him.
However, even Fan didn't notice the demonic aura she emitted when she approached.
Fan was filled with regret for missing his chance for revenge.
-
Shirley helped Philsa, who was suffering from internal and external injuries, to run slowly.
The enemy was about to catch up, and the fiery demonic aura that terrified the two continued to approach.
Even now, Philsa's vision was still a blood-red blur, too blurry to see the scenery nearby. But by instinct, he knew very well that he and Sherry were walking in the widest corridor of the Eagle Palace.
He instructed: “Go along the corridor to the end… turn right… enter the stables… there is an entrance to a secret passage inside.”
By the time he entered the stable, Firsa's sudden symptoms had subsided considerably. He broke free from his support, walked to the deepest corner, kicked aside the covering hay, and groped along the wall until he found a straight indentation in the darkness.
He tapped the eerie wall with the hilt of his sword, and a hollow echo resounded.
“This is it…” he raised an eyebrow and judged, then looked around anxiously for the switch.
However, he was completely baffled by this deeply hidden mechanism. He wasn't good at solving puzzles, and neither was Shirley.
The enemy's demonic aura was getting closer and closer... Thinking of this, Philsa felt a surge of fear, but he still tried his best to calm himself down.
"The enemy... is almost here!" Shirley urged, then paused for a moment before continuing, "Why don't I go outside and deal with them? You go ahead once you find the entrance to the secret passage! I'll be there later!"
After saying that, his companion began chanting a wind-blessing incantation, preparing to fight alone.
"No..." Philsa shouted, desperate to stop his companion from going out and taking the risk. In a moment of panic, he thought of a quick and decisive solution: "Let's just break down this stone door!"
Sherry stopped chanting. "Won't this... attract the enemy's attention?"
“Then use your magic ‘Lightning Detonation’ to…” He coughed a few times under his breath, “…detonate the entire stable! It’s…a good way to buy time.”
Originally, Philsa could have used his magical martial arts to completely destroy the entire stable, but he couldn't use his magic veins yet. She followed Philsa's advice.
Sherry infused her magic into her companion's Ice Flame Sword.
Because this is a different source of magic than the sword's attributes, the sword did not light up with its original red and blue light.
However, thanks to the blessing of the wind demon, its blade became sharper than before.
With all her might, Philsa thrust her sword toward the stone door concealing the secret passage. At the same time, Sherry cupped her hands into a ball shape, and emerald particles rose from her palms as she began chanting her magic once more.
The fragile stone wall was pierced with a radiating crack, but it did not completely break apart.
But the thrusting motion alone had left Philsa breathless, and he no longer had the strength to raise his sword and thrust continuously. If he were to rest, the enemy would catch up, and it would be too late.
Sherry, who was chanting, had to be distracted and condense a small portion of her magic into a powerful vortex of wind, which she then hurled at the crack in the stone wall.
The barrier door of the secret passage shattered into stone, revealing a dark and mysterious entrance. By the light from the spells cast by their companions, it could be vaguely seen that the passage sloped downwards.
Therefore, it is estimated that the collapse of the stables should not cause much damage to the secret passage.
By this time, Sherry had finished chanting her magic.
The entire stable was illuminated by emerald lightning and continuously absorbed magical energy from the outside world.
The lightning, formed from the magic of wind, still needed two seconds to detonate, and the two took advantage of this time to quickly enter the secret passage.
Not far away, almost simultaneously with the flash of white light behind them, a deafening explosion was heard.
"Are you familiar with the roads here?" Shirley asked, helping her companion along.
Since this is the Eagle Palace, his dream memories should have some recollection of the secret passage, but his answer was no.
"I have absolutely no recollection of this... The Falcon Palace during the Kingdom era did not have such a secret passage."
Although Philsa had noticed the strange hole in the floorboards in the corner when he arrived at the stables and guessed that it might be a secret passage, he did not pay much attention to it at the time, nor did he want to damage any of the ruins because of his curiosity.
If it weren't for now, he wouldn't have thought of using this secret passage to escape.
The two wandered aimlessly through the maze of secret passages like headless flies, taking any path they could find and turning any bend they encountered.
The fiery demonic aura that terrified them spread through the thick wall. The enemy had entered the secret passage and was now right next to them, separated by the wall!
The chase between the two sides resembled a cat-and-mouse game.
Philsa can use his keen sense of the enemy's magical aura to escape.
Fan could only locate the two of them by relying on his sense of direction.
However, Firza was injured and could not move too quickly;
Meanwhile, Fan could quickly search for the two of them in every corner.
Although they could sense that they were nearby, Van dared not risk using his fire demon martial arts to shatter the wall.
Because the load-bearing structure in the secret passage is not very stable.
If it experiences even the slightest tremor, it could collapse at any moment.
A faint breeze came from the left of Brahma.
Recalling the "wind" magical attribute of the girl who was with Philsa, he followed without hesitation.
