“We actually want to go where—” Jean wants to ask because they are walking through the underground channel of Senderos City, but Daendels Graham instead raised his hand to interrupt Jean's question.
“I told you earlier, don't ask too many questions and just follow me!” sela Daendels Graham snorted coldly without looking back and focused on walking through the underground channel.
Juliana smiled wryly at the cry of her father and felt sorry for her irritated-looking Uncle being scolded by Daendels Graham.
Jean locked her mouth tightly, only the sound of footsteps echoing in the underground canal.
Fifteen minutes later, they finally exited the underground channel and exited at the door of the underground channel near the Temple of Light.
Jean was about to say something, but he immediately stopped saying it and only heard a long sigh.
Juliana's heart rate was racing, for some reason she was worried that something bad would happen to them and it wasn't usual for her father to be cold like this, what made her so? Whether this was due to the arrival of Demon King Zagralaas, Juliana could only speculate without getting an answer.
Daendels Graham walked towards the Temple of Light. The sound of the Temple Door being opened by him made Pitung turn his head down.
Pitung who was on top of the Light Temple Tower was immediately suspicious of them, moreover he saw a Silver-haired girl stepping inside the Light Temple.
“Isn't that guy Jean at Uncle Don's Bar?” pitung muttered faintly looking at Jean's sour-looking face following Juliana in front of him.
...***...
“There is a secret door in this Light Temple Tower?” Jean is shocked under the Statue of the Goddess of Light turns out to be the way to the basement.
Daendels Graham did not respond to Jean's remarks, he went straight into the cellar and Juliana immediately followed him.
Jean took a deep breath, feeling Daendels Graham's behavior was becoming more mysterious and suggesting something bad was about to happen.
After Jean stepped into the basement, the Statue of the Goddess of Light moved back and closed the path to the basement.
Down the stairs for Ten minutes, they appeared in a very spacious basement. It was almost as big as the City of Senderos.
“I didn't expect under the City of Senderos to be the former Labyrinth that had been sealed,” whispered Jean surprised.
In the middle of the room was an Altar guarded by a dozen Devils.
Jean frowned, though, he finally understood why only he was brought by Daendels Graham—— because few people in the Graham Family knew that Daendels Graham was actually working with the Devil and his wealth resources also came from them, so he decided to become an Adventurer because he did not want to get involved with them.
However, Jean is confused as to why his brother brought Juliana as well, will his nephew be trained by Satan? It became a question mark on her.
Jean felt troubled by the presence of Gral, a Level 75 Demon who suddenly appeared before them.
He was about to draw his sword, but he remembered Daendels Graham saying to keep quiet and obey his command so that Jean could not draw his sword.
Gral ignored Daendels Graham who was about to greet him, Gral immediately walked to the front of Juliana who immediately looked nervous because he was approached by the Devil.
Juliana looked at her father, but Daendels Graham ignored her instead and Juliana turned to Jean behind her. However, Jean also pretended to look the other way.
Juliana took a deep breath and put her right hand on her chest and bowed her face slightly, “Ju-juliana Graham—”
“Ritual?” Jean and Juliana were shocked to hear that.
“Sister! Do you want to sacrifice your daughter?” Jean shouted loudly at Daendels Graham.
“Diammmmmm!” daendels Graham was angry. “Don't I tell you to just obey what I say and don't interrupt it!”
Jean did not expect her brother to be like this, she was crazy to sacrifice her own biological daughter as a result of the Witchcraft ritual.
Gral piqued with Jean's scream, he looked at Jean with a sharp look. “This is the last warning, never speak again or I will kill you as well as the entire Graham Family, keep that in mind!” threaten her.
Jean broke out in cold sweat at Gral's threat, and she was silent even though she was desperate to save Juliana. However, he had no power against these Devils and on the other hand he did not want the entire Graham Family destroyed.
Juliana smiled warmly at Jean, so Jean's heart beat and felt guilty for not having the strength to help her.
“I'll be fine, Uncle Jean!” juliana said, then she looked at Daendels Graham with sparkling eyes, “For the sake of the Graham Family.
Daendels Graham's heart ached hearing that, he had not expected in this kind of situation; the smile on Juliana's face was still emanating.
“Quickly lie down on the altar!” exclaiming Gral did not want to waste time because soon the sound of the ticking clock in the Light Temple Tower will sound, which indicates the midnight time has arrived and the ritual is immediately started.
Juliana was so sad her father didn't say a word to her, Daendels Graham turned the other way, as if he didn't care about her fate.
After Juliana lay down on the altar, Daendels Graham wiped her tears and bully her teeth in grief unable to say a word to her daughter.
Gral took out a small glass Bottle from his Magic Bag and poured the blood on the Altar. He then chanted a magic spell in the complicated Ancient Demon language.
Juliana's face looked pale as she saw the Dragon Skeleton appear before her.
“Dad... Uncle Jean... I'm scared!” juliana shouted while crying sobbing.
The Dragon Skeleton opened its mouth wide, Mana belonging to Juliana was forcefully absorbed out of its body.
“Ayahhhhhhh!”
“Tolongnggng!”
“Sakittttttttttttttt!”
Jean closed her eyes and closed her ears as she could not bear to hear the cry of suffering from her nephew.
Daendels Graham was silent to watch his beloved daughter suffer while undergoing the ritual process of reviving the Ancient Dragon.
This Ancient Dragon used to be the last Boss in the Labyrinth under the Temple of Light, but thousands of years ago; the Hero Party defeated it so that the Labyrinth was naturally sealed and Gral tried to revive it.
If this Ancient Dragon awakening ritual were to succeed, then Gral would become his master and it would make Gral's reputation increase among Devils due to having a Level 100 Ancient Dragon slave. Not to rule out the possibility, the Eblirt Demon King will raise his position especially he also plans to capture the former Demon King Zagralaas after successfully reviving the Ancient Dragon.
