Chapter 295: Cease

Since Eiro seemed to have convinced Krog for now, the Demon rushed through the building as quickly as he could. He looked around, trying to find any clue as to where the Ghost might be right now. And that's when he suddenly heard it. On the other side of the building, there was an unnatural scratching over the ground. It was rather strong, which was the only reason that he was even able to notice it in the first place. That, and the fact that he was coincidentally focused on what was going on in that direction.

So of course, Eiro immediately stopped in his track and turned around. Within a few moments, the Demon made his way to the other end of the hallway, and then rushed up the stairway in front of him. He hit the underside of one of the paintings' frames and caused it to open up, revealing one of the many hidden passages here in the building.
