Chapter 310: Ch 310 : Intercept
In the dark corridor, only the sound of footsteps echoed.
Yukino and Lucy were walking through a gloomy passage inside the Dark Demon Castle.
The corridor had no windows at all—only faint magical torches spaced far apart provided dim light.
"What is this place, anyway? We’ve been walking for so long, and still haven’t seen anyone," Lucy said uneasily, frowning at the darkness ahead.
Seeing Lucy growing anxious, Yukino gently reassured her, "It’s alright. These corridors are really complicated—we probably just missed them. With their strength, there’s no way anything bad would happen to them."
"I know everyone is really strong, but..." A trace of worry flashed across Lucy’s face.
After a brief pause, she continued, "Yukino, you’ve never seen the power of the Demon God’s Soul firsthand, have you?"
"Mm. I’ve only heard that they’re the most powerful dark guild on the continent—such a headache even for the Magic Council. But I don’t know the details," Yukino replied with a nod.
Lucy pressed her lips together slightly and said in a low voice, "But I... or rather, all of us who returned from Tenrou Island, have experienced their power personally."
"..." Yukino turned her head to look at Lucy.
At that moment, Lucy’s face was filled with remembrance, dread, and regret.
