Chapter 323 Fate 1
Chapter 323 Yoriichi
The protagonist and his companion cautiously enter this mysterious and dangerous place. The two work together in a tacit manner, with one person focusing intently on whether there are any hidden secrets above, while the other carefully observes the ground beneath their feet.
Suddenly, a soft "click" was heard. It turned out that their companion had accidentally triggered a hidden mechanism. In an instant, accompanied by a chilling whistling sound, a volley of incredibly sharp arrows hurtled towards them like a storm.
In the blink of an eye, the protagonist, with his superhuman reaction speed and agility, swiftly reached out and grabbed his companion, and together they darted into a nearby recess. The arrows, like deadly venomous snakes, grazed past them and embedded themselves heavily in the surrounding ground, raising clouds of dust and creating a scene of extreme danger.
After calming their nerves, the two took a deep breath and continued their careful search. Their efforts paid off; after a thorough search, they finally made a discovery—behind a solemn stone statue, a faint, ethereal blue light shimmered. Upon closer inspection, they discovered it was the first key they had been searching for! This key exuded a mysterious aura, as if it contained boundless power.
Then, they spotted the second key at the bottom of a pit covered in sharp thorns. However, obtaining this key was no easy task, as the dense, pointed spikes were daunting. But the companion wasn't deterred by the difficulty. He gritted his teeth, resolutely leaped into the pit, and despite the perilous journey, successfully grasped the key. However, due to the hasty movement while dodging the spikes, he inevitably suffered some minor abrasions.
As time ticked by, they still hadn't found any trace of the third key. Just as they were about to give up in despair, the protagonist glanced up and noticed a faintly visible platform at the top of the chamber. A spark of hope ignited in his heart. He immediately assessed his surroundings and discovered a rope system that could be used to climb to the top. Without hesitation, he grabbed the rope and, using both hands and feet, slowly and laboriously began to climb towards the platform.
After a tremendous struggle, the protagonist finally reached the platform. Sure enough, there lay quietly the final key they had been dreaming of! With that, all three keys were collected, and their thrilling adventure temporarily came to an end…
Carrying three keys, they arrived at the large door. Inserting the keys, the door slowly opened, releasing a powerful surge of energy. Just as they were about to step inside and gain power, the elf warned them that a final challenge awaited them: a guardian beast appeared before them, its eyes gleaming with cold light, signaling the imminent outbreak of a fierce battle.
The protagonist and his companion work together, one watching the high ground and the other keeping an eye on the ground. Suddenly, the companion accidentally triggers a trap, and a volley of arrows shoots towards them. The protagonist reacts quickly, pulling his companion into a hollow in the wall. The arrows whizz by, embedding themselves in the surrounding ground.
After catching their breath, they continued their search. The protagonist found the first key behind a stone statue; the key gleamed with an eerie blue light. Then, at the bottom of a pit filled with spikes, they found the second key. Their companion jumped down without hesitation and retrieved it, thankfully sustaining only minor injuries.
