Hello, is this a letter addressed to Demon Fortress?

Just as Lin Gui was silently waiting for his chance in the shadows.

The situation in front of the huge square tomb below is changing rapidly.

Rona held Linno tightly in her arms as her breath grew weaker and weaker.

He endured the excruciating pain in his limbs.

He looked up at Holy Knight John, his voice trembling with pain and weakness.

"Lord John... I have led you to the entrance to this ruin as promised."

"Please...please keep your promise and spare our lives..."

Upon hearing this, Holy Knight John merely glanced at her with disdain.

He looked at her as if she were an insignificant ant, a cold, mocking smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Oh no, dear adventurer Rona, I think you've got it wrong."

He slowly stroked the hilt of the sword at his waist, his tone carrying a condescending mockery.

"How could someone of my status possibly make any agreement with a lowly adventurer? You... are not worthy."

Rona's heart sank to the bottom, and a chilling despair spread through her.

She had long known that these high-ranking figures would never let them off easily.

John abruptly changed the subject, a hypocritical, almost condescending expression on his face.

"However, in the spirit of chivalry and 'justice'..."

"If you're willing to contribute your last bit of energy and lead the way to find the way to this ancient tomb..."

"Perhaps I can give you and this dying little one a chance to live."

His words were like venomous snakes, coiling around Rona's heart.

"Don't worry, Ms. Lorna, didn't you already come in once and come out 'safely'?"

John's voice carried an undisguised seduction and threat.

"We believe you know how to avoid those...minor 'troubles' and lead us deep into this magnificent cemetery to find the ancient treasures."

At this point, John's gaze returned to the massive, silent entrance to the tomb.

The greed in his eyes was almost overflowing, no longer concealed in the slightest.

Ghosn originally came here only to appease him, who was on the verge of going berserk after losing his beloved bow "Zaniai".

But now, we are witnessing firsthand this massive underground necropolis, far exceeding the size of the Carter Mausoleum.

Feel the vicissitudes and mystery contained within those ancient rocks...

John's heart began to pound uncontrollably.

As a legendary powerhouse, and as the true top combat force of the Carter Kingdom.

He is not short of money.

But behind him is the third prince, an ambitious man who longs to ascend the throne.

But they are extremely short of money and desperately crave the power to overwhelm their competitors!

Moreover, if this is not just an ordinary relic of the Golden Age.

Rather, they are relics from an even more ancient and mysterious prehistoric era...

So, what ancient equipment, lost artifacts, rare magic scrolls, or even the secret of immortality might be hidden inside...?

Any one of these things would be enough to drive him and the entire Third Prince's faction mad!

Not just him.

The other knights around them stared intently at the deep entrance to the tomb, their breathing heavy.

But neither of them made any rash moves.

Anyone who isn't an idiot knows this.

This is a deliberately constructed, large-scale mausoleum.

The interior must be riddled with deadly traps and unknown dangers.

The last ancient tomb was discovered 5 years ago in the Fairy Forest, in the Green City.

Countless extraordinary adventurers and knights ventured into it to explore, but none of them came out alive.

It wasn't until Archmage Melo led his students into the epic level of the magical city that the tomb inside was opened to the public.

No one knows what Archmage Melo brought out.

The only thing known is that many amazing magical technologies have been circulating in the black markets since that day, selling for astonishingly high prices.

Meanwhile, Archmage Melo rose to the mid-level of the Epic rank within a year, squeezing into the top ten of human powerhouses.

Let the adventurer who has already gone in once and come out alive go to scout ahead.

This was for John and the others.

It is undoubtedly the easiest and safest choice.

Under John's signaling and Ghosn's impatient pressure.

Lorna began to climb the long stone steps leading to the entrance of the tomb with difficulty, step by step.

Every time she moves.

The steel needles piercing his entire body rubbed against his muscles and bones, causing excruciating, tearing pain.

All of this made her break out in a cold sweat and turn her face as pale as paper.

She had just escaped death from the ruins, but was caught red-handed by the Knights of John near the exit.

The strength of a mid-level Transcendent appears so pale and powerless when surrounded by two Legendary figures and eight Upper Transcendents.

She was subdued almost instantly.

Ghosn personally and precisely drove steel needles into her vital organs and joints.

Now, every time she tries to mobilize her energy...

It felt as if thousands of ants were gnawing at her veins, causing her unbearable pain.

These needles seemed to pierce Rona's soul.

Perhaps because he found Lorna's speed too slow, Ghosn completely lost his patience.

He snorted coldly and stepped forward abruptly.

He grabbed Rona's shoulder, which was pierced by steel needles and soaked in blood.

He completely ignored her suppressed, agonizing gasps of pain.

He roughly dragged her across the remaining stone steps in a few strides.

We arrived at the huge, dark entrance to the tomb.

"Wait! Linno... Linno is still downstairs!"

Despite her dizziness, Lorna struggled to turn around and look.

Ghosn suddenly grabbed her cheek, with such force that he almost crushed her cheekbone.

Those sinister eyes were filled with ferocity and tyranny.

"Stop fucking paying attention to that piece of trash!" he growled, his voice as cold as a bone-chilling wind.

"Now, go inside! Go find it! Find the artifact!"

"Otherwise, I'll chop you and that idiot down there into mincemeat and feed it to the rats right now!"

A resolute anger flashed in Rona's eyes, and her body instinctively wanted to resist.

But at the very moment her energy stirred slightly...

Ghosn's fingers moved like lightning, and a new, thicker steel needle pierced her Qihai acupoint in her abdomen!

"Ugh!!!"

Lorna let out a short, painful moan, and then everything went black.

Ghosn always managed to time it perfectly, stopping just before she was about to completely lose consciousness.

Let her remain conscious, savoring this extreme pain.

He kicked Rona hard in the side like he was throwing away trash.

She was kicked so hard that she tumbled and fell into the dark tomb passage.

"Get up, you piece of trash!" Ghosn stood at the entrance to the tomb, shadows covering half of his face, his voice icy and chilling.

"Now, crawl in there! Or... I'll tear you apart right now and send you and that slut down there on your way!"

The tomb passage was deathly silent, with only the faint sound of Rona's suppressed, painful gasps coming from within.

After a while, under Ghosn's increasingly impatient gaze...

From the depths of the dark tomb passage came the rustling and grinding sounds.

Rona used all her strength and relied on her indomitable will.

With great difficulty, little by little, I supported my body through the excruciating pain.

She suppressed all her anger, humiliation, and despair deep inside.

Those once sharp eyes.

At this moment, only an abyss-like silence and resolute determination remain.

She began to move her body, which felt as if it didn't belong to her.

They slowly crawled into the unknown, death-filled darkness of the tomb passage.
