Chapter 337: Trap (Second Update: Thanks to Super Silver Alliance Ksg and Phantom Feather)

"It's been a long time since any creature has opened the door to the showroom. Alan looked around the showroom and came to a conclusion.

The in-depth accumulation of dust in the room, as well as the smell of decay in the air, were indicative of this.

The eyes of the three of them were focused on the crystal ball, the only one that emitted blue light.

The shadows of those mysterious runes were unpredictable, and they strongly attracted their attention.

Alan didn't rush in, he cautiously probed at the door.

"This room is the same as Hogwarts, where apparitions are forbidden. Alan couldn't help but wonder.

After making sure that there were no traps on the ground, he stepped inside.

"You wait outside the door first, and I'll explore the way first. Hermione and Luna tried to follow him, but Alan stopped them.

However, just as he was about five feet away from the glowing crystal ball, the crystal ball suddenly made a loud noise.

The ancient, heavy sound vibrated and instantly filled the room, driving the air around him, and the colorless waves rolled violently, as if they were desperate to devour mortal dust.

Merlin's gem automatically appeared in the center of Ellen's brow, and his mind was clear, completely unaffected by the voice.

However, the sound reached the door, affecting Hermione and Luna, who were in a trance and involuntarily turned around and ran.

Eren hurriedly followed behind them, but it was useless to stop or listen with the earbuds closed.

As they run, they encounter stone pillars, large barrels, or ornaments, whatever stands in their way, they destroy them without the slightest hesitation.

It wasn't until they ran to the vestibule that they covered their ears in a trance.

Alan concluded that the sanity of the two men was no longer affected, and sent them into the tower to take shelter and rest.

Then, immediately transformed into a phoenix, the phantom appeared, and entered the showroom.

Although he could feel the vibration of the airflow, Allen, who was not affected in the slightest, went straight to the crystal ball and put it in the storage compartment.

After a few echoes, the sound stopped abruptly.

Eren apparitions again, returning to Hermione and Luna.

"What's the purpose of this crystal ball? After leaving the showroom, it doesn't make a sound, it's weird!"

Hermione was intrigued, and had been interested in it since she had seen Professor Traurini's prophecy in her last divination class.

Luna also stared at the crystal ball that Eren had placed on the table, quite interested.

"Perhaps, as we get more information, we'll figure it out. Alan felt that it was better to continue to explore and get more information before deciding.

As the three of them continued on their way, a passage about twenty feet long appeared in front of them.

The passage smells of decay, and there is another stone door at the end of the passage.

The three of them walked cautiously and came directly to the stone door, and Alan listened to the movement behind the door again, and then pushed the stone door open.

A dusty room appeared in front of them, and the dust covered the room like snow.

On the north wall, a dragon, about ten feet tall, was carved into white marble with a slight red vein, looking at Alan silently.

"It's amazing!" Hermione exclaimed.

"Ashadron ......," Luna's ethereal voice came.

"Hello, please answer the question: no summoning, no expulsion. We appear at night and dissipate during the day. ”

A majestic voice suddenly exploded in the secret room.

"It can talk!" Hermione exclaimed.

"Magic Mouth!" Alan said.

"It makes it look like it really speaks. After her surprise, Hermione remembered the magic as well.

"Stars. Luna said.

"What?" Alan and Hermione looked at Luna, who looked to the right of the dragon, and a stone door suddenly appeared in front of them.

Only then did Alan and Hermione realize that Luna was talking about the answer to the dragon's riddle.

Listening to the sound behind the door again, Alan pushed the door open. This process became almost instinctive.

The room, about twenty feet wide, was similarly covered in dust.

There are three inward recesses of the walls on the south and north sides, five of which have white marble statues with reddish stripes, and nothing in the south-west recesses.

The statue looked like a tall warrior in steel armor.

Through the arches on the west wall of the hall, a wide hall could be seen, and the turquoise light of the fire flickered in the hall.

On the ground, not far from the western arch, a deep pit was found that stretched across the entire room, blocking their progress.

"Look," Hermione suddenly pointed to a dusty ground, "there are paw prints here. ”

This paw print was left about many years ago, and the mark is so deep that even if it is covered with dust again, you can see the previous marks.

"The creature that left these marks is supposed to be barefoot, with human-shaped soles and sharp claws on their toes. Hermione touched her chin and speculated from the marks on the ground.

These marks begin in the hollows of the walls and eventually disappear into deep pits.

The deep pit that stood in front of them was about ten feet high, and the bottom was filled with spikes. The pit walls are rough.

But there is a narrow bridge in the pit, just wide enough for one person to pass.

Alan was the first to step onto the bridge. Luna and Hermione followed.

Just as Alan reached the middle of the bridge, he was pushed off the bridge by a pair of claws that suddenly appeared.

Immediately, Alan heard a nervous laugh from the bridge, and the sound of epidermal wings flapping.

"Kwasdemon. Luna immediately recognized the culprit who pushed him off the bridge, and Hermione immediately remembered what she had seen in the book.

The Kwassai Demon resembles a shrunken human, but has small horns on its forehead, bat-like wings on its back, and green and uneven skin.

Quasdemon's hands and feet were slender, and his fingers were sharp claws, and it was these sharp claws that pushed Eren under the bridge.

Not only that, but it also unleashed a panic spell that made Hermione and Luna, who were about to cast a spell, cringe under the effect of the spell.

Luna felt a wave of horror in her heart, like waves crashing against the rocks.

Hermione's face was pale, and she looked at the monster that suddenly appeared, motionless.

Soon, however, Hermione was the first to wake up from her panic, and her Occlumency technique was operational, successfully fending off the panic.

She was learning Occlumency faster than Luna, and after a while, Luna was also able to shake off the attack of the Panic Technique.

Hermione struck the Quarther with a petrification spell, which was small and extremely nimble, and managed to dodge Hermione's attack.

Hermione seized the opportunity and asked aloud, "Alan, are you okay?"
