Chapter 21 - Hidden Power

Click.

Ian touched the groove in the bed. Then the bed moved on its own.

Drrrr…

The bed was pushed forward and a door appeared. At first glance, it looked like the entrance to the dungeon.

Ian checked the door and raised the corners of his mouth.

‘It’s certainly here.’

It was a suspicious entrance.

It was too shabby to be an underground air defense built by a duke, and the shapes and phrases engraved around it were written in ancient language.

Ian slowly went down the stairs to the basement under the bed.

‘It’s darker than I thought. I might trip if I step wrong.’

It was a very dark basement. He had to walk down while constantly paying attention to the senses in his hands and legs. The only way to walk was by relying on the light coming from the room behind.

Not to mention the smell leaking from the basement, the sultry air, and the bizarre howl of the wind. It wouldn’t be strange if even the boldest soldiers were to be frightened by the atmosphere.

‘If I do this right, the power that Karan had obtained will be mine.’

Ian’s eyes gradually adapted to the dark, and he broke into a smile.

After going down for some time.

Tap!

Ian finally reached the end of the stairs.

But there was a big problem.

‘What? How come?’

At the end of the stairs was a small cave. But there was nothing inside.

It’s literally an empty cavity.

Confused, Ian searched every corner, but there was really nothing inside.

‘This can’t be happening.’

If Karan’s power was not available, his plan would have gone awry.

‘Damn… At this rate…’

It was then.

“!”

Ian found something faint engraved on the floor. It had huge patterns and hard-to-read characters.

‘This is definitely an ancient language.’

But Ian couldn’t read it. He had learned about ancient language when he was a prince, but he had never learned it properly.
