Meanwhile, deeper inside the cave…
Aria pressed herself against the cold stone wall, both hands covering her mouth.
Her whole body was shaking faintly as her blue eyes trembled.
The maid uniform she wore was torn at the sleeve and stained with dirt.
Her breathing was so tight it hurt, but she still didn't dare make a sound.
Because she could hear it.
Schlck…
Schlck…
Something wet was moving on the other side of the rocks.
Aria squeezed her eyes shut at that sound.
She had actually just been in the underground training ground and was called by the other maids to check out a strange sword.
She remembered picking up the strange sword because it had been left on the floor, thinking someone had forgotten their equipment.
And she even managed to notice that it wasn't a simple sword, but an enchanted artifact from her experience.
But since she didn't know its abilities, she wasn't prepared or on guard against it.
