61: White Lion Kin’s Tomb Part 2

Leading the way, Theo began to walk alert, all his senses were sharpened for if any trap appeared, and the girls were following right behind him.

Unlike what he expected, nothing happened and they soon reached the end of the corridor and found no traps at all.

"Phew! Nothing happened!" Shina placed her left hand on her chest in relief.

"Yeah, there doesn't seem to be any traps in this place, but still, it's good to be alert!" Warned Yuki.

"Yes, I understand!" Shina agreed.

"Mama, I'm getting hungry!" Little Yui complained.

"Huh. Just wait a little while, when we see that everything is safe, we can get something from your papa, okay?" Yuki said.

"Yes." Little Yui nodded and held Yuki's hand and continued to walk.

Shina couldn't help but find this little girl so cute, and went close to her and pinched her cheek lightly.

"Oh, why did you do that, Shina?" Little Yui asked.

"It's because you're so cute!!" Shina said, patting Yui's head.

"Yui is cute?! Hehee~" She was happy with Shina's compliment and smiled.

Seeing her like that made Shina want to hug her now, but managed to contain herself.

Seeing this, Yuki just smiled, and they kept walking, following Theo.

Soon they reached the end of the corridor and arrived in a very spacious hall. Its size was almost half a football field.

"How beautiful!!" Little Yui exclaimed, her eyes shining.

"Yes, it's very beautiful!" Yuki and Shina agreed.

The Wolf sisters also nodded, fascinated with the place.

The place they were now was very much like a very tall big round dome! Its walls were covered by precious stones that shone endlessly! And so was the ceiling of this place. It was full of yellow gems, much like a starry sky. No! Even more beautiful! They were all shining so bright, almost blinding them.

"The one who owned this place must have been someone very rich!!" Shina commented.

"Yes, and very powerful too!" Yuki added.

"What are these stones?" The sisters asked doubtfully.

"Huh. These are Magic Cores!" Theo replied

"Yes, those can't be Magic Cores, right?" Zaira couldn't believe it either.

"Papa is not a liar!!" Little Yui spoke up and glared at them, forcing a lot of pressure on the two Wolf sisters.

"That..." They were startled to see little Yui manifest her Mana and began to sweat a little.

"Calm down, Yui, they didn't mean to." Theo went to her and made her suppress her Mana.

"But, but they are doubting Papa!!" Little Yui said, not convinced.

"Yui, you don't have to be angry about this, they didn't do it intentionally, right?" Theo looked at the Wolf sisters.

"Y-Yes!" They agreed, looking at little Yui, still afraid.

"Understood..." Despite being a little dissatisfied, little Yui suppressed her Mana.

"Well, I think I better explain for you to understand." Noting that there was no danger in this place, Theo decided to explain to them: "As I said, those stones in the walls are Magic Cores, but they are Magic Cores of which all the impurity were taken out of them! That's why they're so bright!"

"Wow..." They were stunned.

"But to be able to do that... one must be very strong, I assume." Theo added.

"Really?!" Shina asked a little excited. That only increased the chances of having something good in this place.

"Yeah, that's what I think," Theo said.

"Theo?"

"Yes, Yuki?" Theo looked at her.

"That in the center of this room... is that a sword?" She asked doubtfully.

Everyone started looking toward the center of the room and they could see an object much like a sword; nailed in the middle of the hall.

"Yeah, I think it's a sword too!" He agreed.

"Shall we look at it?" Shina asked.

"Huh… well, we can have a look, but let me go ahead. We can't disregard that there are no traps in this place yet!" Warned Theo. "Just to be sure, you better be prepared!"

"Yes!" They agreed and all manifested their cultivation.

Even knowing that Yui was very strong, Yuki still stood in front of her, protecting her.

Seeing that they had prepared, Theo began to walk slowly toward the center of the room.

"What a beautiful sword!!" Theo was amazed at the appearance of the sword as he approached it.

"Beautiful!" Shina said seeing the sword up close.

"Very pretty." Zaira nodded and Zaika nodded in agreement.

"Whose sword was that?" Yuki was curious.

The sword they were seeing was a beautiful sword with a very pure-looking white blade and a hilt made out of gold, it had a beautiful design of a White Lion wearing a King's crown on both sides of the hilt, further enhancing the beauty of the sword.

Theo was pretty sure he was from the 'Solitary White Lion King', but there was no way he could say to them something like: 'Oh?! This sword?! It must be White Lion King's!

That would only make them question how he knew about it. That's why he chose to be silent.

"It is beautiful! Papa, can I get it?" Little Yui asked.

"Huh. I'll see if it's safe first," said Theo, approaching the sword, wanting to take it.

"Right!" Little Yui nodded.

"Be careful, Theo!" Warned Yuki.

"Yes." Theo nodded and stood in front of the sword.

Seeing that nothing has happened so far, he sighed and moved his hand to take the hilt of his sword.

He put his hand on the hilt of the sword and tried to pull it out, but it didn't even move... "Huh?!" Theo thought that was why he needed more strength and used his Mana to try to pull it out.

But then, his mind went out, he was covered by the darkness! It didn't look like it was in the same place as before, it was as if he had teleported to a different place, it was a very unpleasant feeling, he felt a little dizzy as well.

"Where is this place? What happened? How did I get here?" A lot of questions came to mind. A moment ago he was in the tomb of White Lion King, but out of nowhere, he appeared in a strange place.

"Finally someone has arrived at my tomb!" An old voice came to Theo's ear.

"Who's there?" Theo asked alertly, but couldn't see anything. {TL: Lord Cliffhanger has arrived!}
