Ethereal Ascendance: A Journey of Transformation (Volume 6)

Vol 6/ Chapter 10: The Underground Defense System

"......"

How could Nicola easily answer this question! Should she honestly tell him she wasn't from this world, and that they had big problems before because he stole her love?

Nicola felt she shouldn't have carelessly said so much earlier. Actually, even if she didn't want to let Adrian off now, she really couldn't do anything to him anymore.

Sadly, her trump cards were almost used up. She vaguely realized she was in a really bad situation! And this world's Adrian seemed even harder to deal with than she imagined - he totally knew she couldn't do anything to him because of her injuries! He didn't take her so-called threats seriously at all.

"Your Majesty, are we safe now?"

At this time, a New Parristol soldier couldn't help walking forward to ask Adrian.

Though everyone had safely escaped into the underground tunnel, the Ancient God Religion outside hadn't stopped attacking. But now their target was the underground entrance door, trying to break through it by force!

After some time, you could see the dark door starting to bulge a bit - who knew how much longer it could hold.

"Don't worry. Though this door can only hold for a while, we have New Parristol's automatic weapon defense system. The real show is still coming! Let's continue to the safe area first!"

At this critical moment, as king he definitely needed to give his people enough confidence. Moreover, Adrian really seemed to believe in what he said, comforting everyone while leading them deeper into the underground tunnel.

The path ahead was a very narrow and straight long corridor that could just fit one person to pass through.

"What exactly is this automatic defense system you mentioned?"

This was already the second time Nicola asked this question. Adrian's reply was just pointing at the walls around them.

To put it simply - the defense devices were hidden inside these walls!

At first, Nicola thought maybe it was some kind of trap arrows, but she looked everywhere and couldn't find any holes for arrows to shoot from.

She only saw that the whole tunnel walls were very smooth and clear, like they were covered with glass panels. A mysterious soft light shone through from inside the walls from all directions, lighting up the whole tunnel. It didn't seem much different from other lighting in Lantine Oasis buildings.

But after looking more carefully, she surprisingly found that the wall material used here was unusually strong!

When she hit it with an iron tool, it didn't even leave a tiny mark. Nicola had to admit that ancient civilization's buildings were really different!

"So don't tell me later these walls will automatically split open and bring out dozens of gatling guns to shoot enemies?"

The narrow tunnel was definitely perfect for setting up all kinds of traps. Since the whole city had a very sci-fi style, Nicola made some careless random guesses.

"Gatling? What's that thing? Is it better than my exploding arrows?"

Adrian didn't understand when he heard this. It wasn't that he didn't want to tell what kind of defense devices they were. According to him, there were many types of traps, almost every area had different attack modes. Moreover, most weapon effects were beyond his knowledge - he didn't know how to describe them!

Soon everyone finished walking this path and stood in a relatively spacious room. Several identical corridor entrances gathered around this place, making it look like a meeting point of a huge underground maze network.
