Chapter 25 The Heaven Sealing Thunder
"You could read it?" Loryarc asked Rina as he squinted at the words carved on the door.
"Yes," Rina replied, before nodding, "This alphabet was called Lumark Script, the main language we humans used to speak a thousand years ago."
"Hmm... The Defeated, what does it mean?" Loryarc muttered as he began to ponder.
The two of them thought of it momentarily before their eyes met, and they smiled. Their eyes seem to be exchanging some information within a second, as they look at each other and nod in silent agreement.
"Shall we?" Rina asked.
"Let’s go!" Loryarc answered with a shout.
They then placed their hands upon the door and began to push it open.
They were certain that something was waiting for someone to find it beyond this door, and they would become the ones who found it. And that ’something’ certainly had something to do with their Challenge. So, at least, why don’t we give it a peek? That was the pair’s thoughts.
As the two mustered their strength to push the door, the seemingly immovable door began to creak open. From a slit the gap of the door widened enough for a person to walked in. Damp, fuggy air, which had been confined inside the room for who knows how long, came out of the room from the gap they opened. That fact alone was already enough to convince Rina and Loryarc about the number of years this building has seen, raising their anticipations as a result.
Loryarc and Rina didn’t immediately walk in. They looked inside the room beyond the door, checking out what lay beneath the darkness before them.
"I can’t see anything..." Rina creased her brows as she uttered her lack of ability to see through the room’s darkness.
