The Queen Of The Demon World
70. The Underground Room

“You shut up, don't cloud the atmosphere,” said Eadric flatly, he stood up and walked towards the door. Regardless of his friends, Eadric touched the doorknob. His forehead seemed wrinkled as he managed to turn the doorknob and make the door open.

“Open! What does it mean, we can escape!” Zachary vigorously ran out without a second thought.

“Could the spirit of that time forget to close the door?” aelene asked as she stood beside Eadric.

“Entah.”

“What need to make sure the situation first?” Zion and Ned stood beside Eadric, who was still at the door.

“No need.” Eadric pulled out his dagger, he walked first. “Stay behind me, I'll protect you guys.”

“I will also help!” zachary said passionately. “I can't possibly let Brother 6 fight alone.”

‘Say you want to show off,’ Inner Aelene, Zion, and Ned.

“I will also help.”

“I also.”

“Then, I will also help!”

The four men turned to look at Aelene who was offering herself.

“Cannot! What if you get hurt?? If you scuff a little, Duke Alys will behead me!”

“True, you're quite standing behind us. Let us take care of you.” Zion held onto Aelene's hand and peeked at the back of the girl's hand gently, she glanced at Zachary who looked growled furiously.

“You! Stay away from my girl!”

“Come Prince Zac.” Zion raised both her hands in surrender. “I'm just kidding, anyway. Miss Aelene must only love you, right?” He turned his gaze towards Aelene.

But the girl just walked away without saying anything.

“Aeli ..” Zachary put on a sad face.

“Do not delay again, we must leave immediately,” said Eadric flat.

“Why is this palace so complicated? We even circled around in the same place!”

“Eadric, what should we do?” ask Aelene, the article. They had passed through the same passageway three times, whereas they had passed through different passageways. But they always come back in the hallway with four turns.

“Kiri.”

“Eh, but this is heading to the basement.” Aelene immediately caught up with Eadric who was walking towards the present, they went down the stairs towards the basement.

“I can feel the magic energy from here, it's possible that someone is trapped here.”

“You guys, isn't the hall getting darker? I feel goosebumps.” Zachary approached Aelene and hugged the girl from behind. “I'm so scared, let me hug you until I see the light again. Aeli.”

“Hah? What did you say?”

Zachary suddenly stopped walking, he turned to the origin of the voice. His hair suddenly creeps. ‘Then, who do I cuddle with?’

“*Hihihi** ..”

“Aaa!! Ghost!!’ yelled Zachary hysterically.

Eadric, Aelene, Ned, and Zion turned to look at Zachary who seemed to be squatting while covering both ears and muttering something.

“What are you talking about? No ghosts here.” Zion stared at Zachary flat, she massaged his temple. “There's a strange smell here, it's possible it could cause hallucinations. Origin can eliminate the effect of hallucinations, then we can get out of the darkness.”

“**Who are you*** ..”

Suddenly, a voice appeared in their ears. Eadric, Zion, and Ned immediately surround Aelene and protect the girl. While Zachary, the man immediately clasped Ned's hand while shaking his head.

“Who are you? Show yourself!” Eadric glanced at the quiet-looking surroundings.

“**Your aura ... why can a human come in here? Are you the captives that the Queen of darkness brought back**?”

“Stop scaring us, if you dare. Show up and face us face to face!”

“**Hahaha, I'm not as stupid as you think. You think you can lure me out and kill me with a five-colored flower? Fuckin' stupid humans**!”

“**Rimuru? Who is he, I don't know**.”

“I mean, Ethelyne.”

“**Not polite! How can you call upon the name of the Queen of Darkness casually! Do you want to die**?”

The voice that echoed in the basement looked furious, the wind suddenly blowing fiercely.

“**Fuck man! Your dead**!!”

From the wind appeared a water knife that slashed their skin.

‘Energi my magic, as if it disappeared. What happened?’ Aelene looked up and stared at the water knife and dodged, as did the four. “My magic energy sucked!”

“We are the same,” answer all four simultaneously.

“What should we do??” Aelene dodged every blade that attacked, but there were still incisions that appeared. ‘Sial!’

Suddenly, the wind and water blades seemed to evaporate and disappear in the air. It looks confused.

“**What*** ..”

“**How dare you attack my food**.”

Suddenly, there was the sound of screaming. Appearing a man with a body full of blood knelt down with one leg as a pedestal, one hand seemed to be broken with one eye which was also hit by a long scratch.

“Ma-pardon me, Your Majesty. Servant really didn't mean,” the man said while maintaining his consciousness, even his severed hand couldn't regenerate.

“You shouldn't be acting at will in my palace.” Ethelyne walks out of an underground passageway swept by Meli.

“Please forgive me, I lost control because the man dared to call you impolite.”

“Whatever they call, it's none of your business at all! Next time, if you dare to disturb the humans in my palace. Then there will be no other chance!”

“Good.” The man's hand suddenly recovered, the long scratches on his eyes began to heal. He closed his eyes and disappeared in an instant.

Ethelyne glanced at the five. “Why are you here?”

“A-how are you doing now?” aelene asked about to step forward, but stopped when Loreen suddenly stood before her and blocked her path.

“I'm fine, next time. Don't call me casually, this is my palace. The demons could not hold back their emotions, let alone lust when looking at humans. So don't wander around carelessly.” Ethelyne sighed. “Loreen.”

Loreen shifted and gave way.

“Cabinets.” Ethelyne gestured with one hand.

With a slow step, Aelene walked towards Ethelyne. The four men standing behind him looked apprehensive.

Without warning, Ethelyne hugged Aelene and shocked the girl. “Aelene, my time is not much anymore. When you return to your room, tell the others. When I leave, there will be a nine-year-old girl who appears. He will lead you out of the underworld,” he whispered softly.

“If you want to free us, then why did you catch us?” aelene asked in a whisper, she just stood still without returning Ethelyne's embrace.

“You will know in time, after telling them later. Make them all hate me, and meet that little girl in the dining room. Her name is Luna, you might not be able to see her in person. When my death was announced, go to the dining room and call me Levana. That way, you'll be able to see Luna.”

“Rimuru, no. Ethelyne, why did you lock us up? Why are you telling me this?”
