Chapter 295
Underground, inside the Whirlpool Treasure Vault.
"What's going on? Did I trigger something by touching these things? Is the place about to collapse?" Haruto Saito looked up, observing the tremors and watching the dust fall from above, his brows tightly furrowed.
"That can't be it. If there were such a mechanism, wouldn't the Whirlpool Clan be dooming their own people? The ones coming here should be members of the Whirlpool Clan."
Because of the thick layers of earth above him, even with his exceptional sensory abilities, Haruto couldn't perceive what was happening on the surface. He didn't immediately think of a battle because the idea itself was too terrifying.
What kind of intense battle would be needed to cause tremors that reached more than twenty meters underground?
Haruto knew that the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were in the Poison Torture Forest. But who could they possibly be fighting?
*Thump thump! Thump thump! Thump thump!*
Haruto's heartbeat accelerated. He had a very bad feeling, as if something major was about to happen.
"No way... an earthquake?"
Just as he muttered those words, the tremors began to subside. After a few more seconds, they disappeared completely.
Silence.
