As soon as the Dragonslayer Sword emerged, a strange noise rang out from the abysses on both sides. The sword also began to tremor violently, as though it had sensed something.
Jared grabbed the Dragonslayer Sword, but it continued to tremble no matter how hard Jared tried to control it. That was the first time that he had failed to control the Dragonslayer Sword.
Before long, Jared’s grip loosened, and the Dragonslayer Sword slipped out of his fingers, shooting upward. It hovered mid-air and buzzed nonstop as though it was responding to the sound coming from the abyss. “Mr. Chance, what’s going on?” Gilbert asked in surprise.
“I’m not sure either, but I think there’s something down there that’s influencing my Dragonslayer Sword,” Jared commented with a grave expression as he focused his gaze on the buzzing Dragonslayer Sword. Buzz…
The Dragonslayer Sword emitted another hum before disappearing into the abyss below in a blink of an eye. As it descended, the glow of the Dragonslayer Sword illuminated the darkness and allowed Jared and the rest to take a peek at what was below.
Unfortunately, the abyss was too deep. Within seconds, the Dragonslayer Sword had been swallowed whole by the pitch-black darkness.
Worried that something bad might happen, Jared quickly tried summoning the sword back to his hand with his mind..
As he did so, he realized with horror that the connection between him and the Dragonslayer Sword had disappeared! Jared paled as panic inundated him..
The sword had become one with Jared since a long time ago. Moreover, the man and the sword spirit shared a spiritual connection. It was no surprise that Jared freaked out when the connection was so abruptly cut off.
Soon, sounds of metals clashing against each other could be heard from the depths of the abyss. It sounded as though two people were having an armed duel..
After a while, the sound began to fade. It wasn’t long before silence returned, and the Dragonslayer Sword rose back up to the surface.
Following a swift gesture from Jared, the Dragonslayer Sword returned to his hand. Jared inspected the sword in his hand carefully. Traces of a recent sword fight was evident on its blade.
“Could there be people down there?” Puzzled, Jared turned to Andrew. “Andrew, do you know what’s down there? Is anyone staying there?”
Andrew quickly shook his head. “I’m not familiar with this place, Mr. Chance. It’s my first time here too…”
Just as he spoke, he caught sight of Omar approaching them with a few other people. “But Omar should know,” he quickly added.
Jared turned his head around to face Omar. Sensing Jared’s gaze on himself, Omar, the courageous warrior, surprisingly felt his knees turning to jelly.
“Question. What’s in the abysses on both sides? Is there anyone living in there?” Despite his soft tone, he sounded authoritative enough to forbid any dissent.
If Omar refused to answer, there was a high possibility that he would receive a punch to his face.
“I’m not that sure either. This is a secret. They wouldn’t let me know. However, I heard there’s a tomb of swords somewhere around this place. According to rumors, Engarder Sect had buried all of the magic swords there.
I think there’s also a sacred sword that’s suppressing all of the other magic swords in the tomb of swords to prevent the magic swords from escaping and injuring people, but I have no idea where the tomb is located!” Omar admitted honestly, not daring to lie.
“A tomb of swords?” Jared frowned slightly. “In the few months that you guys have been here, has anyone gone into or come out of said tomb of swords?”
“No. Every inch of the tomb of swords was covered with murderous intent. We had sent dozens of people inside, but not one of them returned alive. Because of that, Alex plans to enter the tomb of swords with help from the power of the altar!” Omar answered.
“Looks like this tomb of swords is the place that Mr. Sanders mentioned that would help my Dragonslayer Sword increase its power.”
Jared turned to look at the sword in his hand. An excited glint flashed across his eyes.
Jared believed that the tomb of swords had to be located in the abyss. Otherwise, the Dragonslayer Sword would not have reacted so strongly and bizarrely.
