Chapter 770 - 791 Notes
"Uh, about that..." Lancelot curled his lips, "If there really is a shortcut, I wouldn’t mind using it..."
He formed a special hand sign, and a pale blue lotus emerged in his palm, floating towards the enemy whose face now bore a hole. The refinement of this Fire Lotus had improved considerably over the previous ones, transforming into a layer of blue flames that completely enveloped the flesh golem the moment it touched the enemy. Almost simultaneously, Lancelot’s longsword reached its target, igniting several dazzling streaks of sword light within a breath’s time. The creature, which had been quite troublesome moments earlier, seemed to suddenly lose its formidable magic power. Once the light from the sword faded, nothing but a pile of shattered limbs remained, utterly motionless.
Lancelot turned his head and saw Tanya and Alamir had already joined hands in dealing with their opponents, while Bruto handled the one that couldn’t stand up to begin with. Meanwhile, everyone heard a deep rumbling noise as the cracked stone wall parted to the left and right, revealing the scene within the secret chamber behind it—a little girl struck a pose that seemed rather cool: arms wielding a shortsword stretched out on either side of her body, a chest that hadn’t had the chance to fully develop proudly thrust forward, and a slightly tilted head bearing a cool expression, which, combined with the three corpses beside her, indeed looked very impressive.
In the cramped space, a vampire—not one of those counterfeit vampire derivatives—and a group of spellcasters who thought themselves safe stood no chance, of course.
"What are you doing?" Lancelot stepped forward and lightly tapped the little girl’s head, instantly ruining the masterful aura she had strived to create, "Why kill them all? We should have kept one alive."
"Uh, you didn’t say beforehand. How could I think of that in the heat of the battle..." Isa pouted and fussed with her hair, "And the one that’s missing was killed by your slap, I only took care of two."
"Alright, be more careful next time." Lancelot turned and surveyed the interior of the secret chamber, which looked to be no more than ten feet in any direction and hardly different from a prison cell, "Did you find anything useful?"
"This." Isa pulled out a leather notebook from behind her, "Found it on one of those guys, looks like a diary, check if there’s any useful information in it."
Out of curiosity, the others crowded around as Lancelot opened the notebook and found that most of the entries had been erased by its original owner. However, the deletion had been done in haste, and several legible fragments remained.
