Chapter 186: The Nameless Hall and Mysterious Death
With this thought, Lolth quickened the speed of the magic crystal boat.
At the same time, considering they were approaching a building that clearly seemed to be "the key place," Lolth and Patricia were fully alert as they accelerated the crystal boat, scanning and sensing magic at full power, always ready to use shields or other defensive spells.
However, this time, they still encountered nothing.
It seems that the tentacle monster they encountered before was the last living creature in this silent space.
And it was killed by Lolth and Patricia together.
The ship approached the area of the huge building and began to pass over the massive stone circles on the water’s surface.
From a distance, it looked like they were just above the water… but getting closer revealed that these blue stones formed seamless circular platforms, each rising more than two people high above the water’s surface.
When looking at these circles from afar, each seemed only slightly taller than the water because each had a surface area as large as a noble’s grand hall.
On the surfaces of those ancient stones, Lolth and Patricia saw almost invisible ancient magic runes, and even they could not determine the original purpose of these platforms.
They could only speculate that perhaps they were used to guard the main building or to connect various places like a teleportation circle.
However, even the magical energy had nearly vanished completely.
These altars seemed to have been abandoned for far more than ten thousand years—long before the God of Light decided to destroy this evil Divine Kingdom, they had already existed for a long time and had been forsaken for ages.
"How ancient it is…"
Dorothy couldn’t help but exclaim.
Tina also nodded slightly.
Even though these two didn’t recognize the style here like Patricia and Lolth did, they still felt a strong sense of ancient history washing over them.
The small boat continued to glide over the calm waters. Here, although the Power of the Evil God felt stronger, there were few corpses and bubbles left.
Combined with the ancient round platform that appeared around them, it felt like they were traveling through the river of time.
Finally, the magic crystal boat gently arrived at the steps in front of the grand building. Leaning against the smooth stone steps, the four of them jumped off the boat, once again feeling the solid ground beneath their feet as they looked up at the majestic building nearby.
Just as in the sight they had seen from afar, although the steps were not overly tall, the front of the main part of the building looked like it was built for giants.
The huge ten gray-blue stone columns almost seemed to support the dome of the building to the top of this space. The columns had no decorative patterns, only six indentations circling around them. And through the water, they could see that the columns supporting the steps and this building underwater seemed to be the same as the columns in front of the entrance.
Behind the stone pillars, there is a thick wall with three huge stone doors, each one reaching up to the ceiling.
The wall and the stone doors have no decorations at all, and the style is very simple and square, but they look very imposing because they are so big in this space.
Just as Lolth said, this place looks like a temple for priests.
Considering it is inside the Divine Kingdom, this guess about its purpose seems reasonable.
Two of the three stone doors are closed tightly, and only the middle one is half open.
The four of them climbed the steps and could see the inside of the building through the half-open stone door.
Inside, it is dark and wide, like a natural underground cave, with no divisions or rooms — all three big doors lead inside.
Inside, there are also two rows of giant columns, like the ones in front of the doors, supporting the ceiling, and the floor is covered with square stone tiles.
Deeper inside, it is too dark to see because of the lighting, but all four of them can feel…
There, there was a huge wave of magical energy.
The magical energy that Lolth and Patricia felt before came from there!
"Should we go in… Lady ‘Kululu’?"
When they reached the front gate, Patricia, who had been a bit restless, stopped and looked seriously at Lolth, seeking the succubus’s opinion.
However, she still pronounced the name Kululu with a certain emphasis, hinting at some playfulness.
Lolth didn’t mind the way she said it and looked inside, shrugging her shoulders.
"We’ve come this far… do we really have a choice?"
After saying that, she snapped her fingers, and three bright white flames appeared beside her, providing light.
"Let’s go, whether it’s an evil god or something else… we must go in and take a look."
Lolth said this and stepped first through the giant stone door, entering the nameless hall.
Patricia smiled and followed closely after with Dorothy and Tina.
Once inside, the group could feel that the Power of the Evil God had suddenly weakened quite a bit.
Instead, another strong, unknown power surged through the space.
The hall, illuminated by a bright white light, revealed scenes that were hard for the four to imagine.
Outside the two rows of stone pillars, a few bodies of "human women" lay scattered on the tiled floor.
They did not belong to the cultists or the Land of Light; their presence was even older and more ancient, as if they had died tens of thousands of years ago.
But even after tens of thousands of years, the terrifying aura around them still showed their once powerful strength.
This was the source of the unknown power fluctuation here.
A group of ancient Superoperators’ remaining power waves.
They knelt or sat on the ground, some leaning against the wall or stone pillars, most of their skin and hair turned gray, and their eyes tightly closed, as if they had encountered some kind of "curse."
But what kind of curse could make these legendary beings die in an instant without any resistance?
Moreover, just by looking at their faces and clothing, these beings seemed just like ordinary people today, only their style of dress was lighter and cooler.
Wearing only the top that covered key areas and very short skirts, each one looked like a beautiful woman in her youth.
"It seems something terrible happened here…"
Lolth sighed as she spoke.
Patricia also looked at the moment frozen in their lives and felt a chill, nodding and saying, "We should be a little more careful."
Tina and Dorothy, in such a heavy atmosphere, could hardly speak anymore.
The four people did not stop for long and continued walking, passing by more and more such corpses.
The space inside this hall was wider than they had imagined.
Finally, after walking slowly for more than ten minutes, they saw something different.
A new staircase appeared before everyone.
