55 Ch 55: The Unbreakable Coffin
"How long do I have left?"
Emrys inquired, his voice carrying a sense of urgency. He was obviously asking Elysia, though he couldn't perceive her presence. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"About fifteen minutes!" came the reply, swiftly.
Emrys nodded and shifted his gaze at the blood-red coffin. He has no idea what the Darkborne Family is planning, but he is sure that their plan will definitely bring disaster to the Great Flame Kingdom.
Since that's the case, why not try to destroy these coffins to prevent the future disaster?
Taking a deep breath, Emrys walked to the blood pool and suddenly jumped, landing directly on top of the coffin.
As he stood on the blood coffin, a sinister and ghostly aura attacked him. Emrys subconsciously exploded with powerful Soul Force, forming an ethereal barrier around him that blocked the uncanny attack. Otherwise, had the ghostly energy invaded his body, Emrys feared that he might have to endure a fate worse than death.
"I'll break you open!"
He could see that the coffin was tightly sealed. Opening this coffin is almost impossible, at least for the current him. The chains tightly sealing the coffin were not easy to break, however, the coffin was created from some kind of wood, so breaking it open is still possible.
"Bang!"
A powerful punch landed on the coffin, but to Emrys's surprise, the blood coffin was incredibly tough and secure. It didn't budge an inch, let alone break.
Still, Emrys didn't feel discouraged. After collecting his thoughts, he took out the blade that had lost its demonic nature. Though he wasn't sure of its exact grade, it was at least C-3. Typically, a Silver Soul Master like him would have an E-1 Grade Weapon. A C-3 Grade Weapon is something only Purple Crystal Soul Masters are qualified to wield.
He raised the blade and slashed at the top of the blood-red coffin.
Suddenly, he seemed to have heard something moving inside it. Bending over slightly, he placed his ear on the coffin.
She could still remember how she discovered the truth about her family. Maybe, this was the reason she was betrayed by her own family and ended up becoming a prisoner in Darkborne Family's secret dungeon. In the end, the Darkborne Family uses a secret technique on her to transform her entirely. Her Soul Mark was affected and its nature completely transformed. Even she herself transformed into a powerful Gold Soul Demon from a Bronze Soul Master.
She could tell she had transformed completely, losing her humanity due to the thirst for blood and slaughter in her heart. She truly wanted to kill the person who was constantly making noise, and drink his blood.
She swore that the first thing she would do was kill the person who was making the noise and then destroy the Darkborne Family, her family, and the Royal Family of the Great Flame Kingdom for forcefully transforming her into a Soul Demon.
"Why is it so hard?"
After spending nearly ten minutes slashing at exactly one place, Emrys wiped his sweat. He truly wanted to curse the person who created this Blood-red Coffin. Just what kind of wood he used to create it to make it so hard? Moreover, is there truly a wood this tough out there?
Suddenly, he seemed to have heard something moving inside it. Bending over slightly, he placed his ear on the coffin.
A moment later, he was certain that he had misheard it, and merely sat on the coffin cover, as he fell deep into his thoughts again.
He was not left with much time. Only five more minutes before the experts of the Darkborne Family will come here. At that time, he'll have to either fight them or escape.
Emrys looked at the coffin below him and a complicated expression surfaced on his face. If he gave up now, he would definitely not be satisfied. He has to destroy whatever the Darkborne Family is planning, and his gut feeling is that by just opening this coffin, he would be able to achieve his goal.
The coffin was tightly sealed. It must be because the Darkborne Family doesn't want to release whatever is placed inside, whether it is a corpse or something else. And that must be because their plan is not complete yet.
However, the coffin was just too hard to open even with the strongest weapon he had in his arsenal.
"Maybe, I should use Flying Blade Skill."
Emrys muttered and reconfirmed his thoughts. Using a skill will make his attack stronger and faster. This may help him cut open the coffin.
