What was behind the gate?
The thought bloomed up in Kieran’s mind and aroused his curiosity, but he did not go over straightaway .
He activated his [Tracking] and carefully looked around for any clues .
He discovered a total of four sets of footprints, his own, Starbeck’s, Zywane’s and Carpal’s .
His, Starbeck’s, and Zywane’s footprints were still fresh and clear, but Carpal’s were blurry, as if he hadn’t been there for quite some time .
Still, that was not the point . The point was that between the spot that Kieran was standing at and the front of the gate, there were no traces on the path .
In other words, no one had gotten near the gate .
At least not in a while . If someone had, they must not have used a common way to reach it .
Had they flied?
Had they been in spirit form?
Kieran made guesses .
Even though the [Mystical Knowledge] he had acquired had only been at basic level, it had still been enough to broaden Kieran’s horizons .
The knowledge in his mind reminded him that those seemingly impossible ways were quite possible after all . Although he did not know the exact way, the thought was enough to make him check his surroundings for a specific contraption .
Kieran was more careful and precise in inspecting the area . After ten minutes, he confirmed that there was no contraption around .
Still, that did not mean that he could just walk through the gate .
"I’ll go get some stones," Kieran told Starbeck .
"I’ll help!" Starbeck quickly followed Kieran out .
He knew Kieran wanted to throw stones to check if the path was clear . Starbeck was not new to such methods . He had witnessed a couple of veterans using them, but it was the first time he had volunteered to help .
Obviously, the only reason he had was because he was too afraid to stay near the entrance, in that cold, dark place, but he dared not say it .
Even though he knew he was a coward, saying it out loud was a different matter .
His pride still made him shy and embarrassed .
"I think you’ll be safer out here," Kieran said as he picked up a few stones . He had seen Starbeck come out to help, and as his temporary guardian, he felt that he had to advise him .
"I think I’ll be much safer by your side, 2567! My instinct is always accurate!" Starbeck said stubbornly as he shook his head .
"You think you’re some kind of animal whose instinct will make it tingle when it’s in danger? Or do you really think you’re a mimosa plant after all?"
He did not care anymore . He just rolled his eyes at Starbeck .
He did not care anymore . He just rolled his eyes at Starbeck .
He had said what he could and should say . Whether Starbeck took his advice or not was not up to him . He was just a short-term employee, not a full-time nanny .
Kieran turned his attention back to the uncharted path, using a slingshot to shoot the stones in his hands with his D- Rank Strength . The stones hit the solid floor, making a clear sound .
Kieran left a footprint for every half meter he walked between his original spot and the front of the gate .
There was no trap?
He was slightly surprised . He’d thought that such a place would have been filled with traps, yet he had found nothing .
"Maybe this place is not important?" he speculated unconsciously .
He frowned over what he had discovered . After all, he’d been hoping to find some extra rewards there .
Still, that did not stop him from venturing forward .
"Wait here!" he told Starbeck .
"I can help!" Starbeck said once again .
"Are you sure you can?"
Kieran turned his head around and looked at Starbeck with a forced smile on his face . Starbeck realized that he could see through his cowardice, and blushed .
"I really want to help!" he said in a low voice .
"I really want to help!" he said in a low voice .
"Sometimes good intentions are not useful," Kieran replied .
Starbeck’s face fell in disappointment . He looked like a mimosa plant caressed by the wind . His thin leaves were blowing softly, ready to close up at any moment .
Kieran looked at his employer’s hopeless face . He could not help but sigh as he pointed outside the gate .
"Wait here . This is as far as you can go!"
"Oh… Okay . " Starbeck nodded .
He went over to the spot designated by Kieran before Kieran turned to look at the gate .
After some inspection, he confirmed that there were no traps on it, and pushed it hard with his body, leaning against the gate .
As the gate was pushed open, Kieran leapt through to the other side .
Although he had confirmed that there were no traps on the gate, he was not sure whether opening it would not trigger any other traps, such as a downpour of arrows or some kind of metal-corroding acid .
Kieran was overthinking things .
Nothing happened when the gate was pushed open . No arrows or acid .
There was just a series of beating sounds .
A slow, powerful beat, beating rhythmically .
It sounded a little like a heartbeat .
A slow, powerful beat, beating rhythmically .
It sounded a little like a heartbeat .
A heartbeat?
Shocked by the sudden thought, Kieran looked inside the gate, and his jaw dropped .
Inside the spacious hall, there was a bronze lustrous coffin hanging in mid-air .
It was the size of a small truck, much larger than a common coffin, and made out of metal . Lots of words and symbols were carved on it, symbols that a basic level of [Mystical Knowledge] could not decipher .
On top of the coffin, there were 13 metal chains wrapped around it like snakes with different levels of thickness . The thickest chain was as big as a grown man’s thigh, and the thinnest one only as big as a baby’s little finger . Kieran’s exceptional vision allowed him to see the thinnest chain, although ordinary eyes would not have been able to see it .
The 13 chains were locked tightly around the bronze coffin, moving without wind . They were not making any noise .
There was only a reddish sparkle from time to time, signifying their unusual existence .
"Wha… What is this?"
Starbeck, who had been standing aside, had seen the scene as well . He was in awe . His cowardly personality did not even allow him to speak coherently .
"Hide!" Kieran suddenly shouted .
A series of formless waves suddenly started to ripple from the bronze coffin, and a human figure started to take shape on it .
Kieran took out his [M1905] and started shooting without a second thought .
Bang! Bang! Bang!
