Shen Ye crept along the deserted staircase toward the southwest direction.
"Someone is coming," the Underworld Lord warned.
"Hmm."
He casually released a piece of frost, and as it reflected Shen Ye's form—
he immediately initiated "Existence in Mirror" and hid within it.
The ice crystal melted into droplets, falling onto the crimson velvet carpet.
As expected, two knights appeared around the corner.
They were dressed in shiny Battle Armor, with swords hanging at their waists, walking past the staircase where Shen Ye was.
After they were gone,
Shen Ye dissolved "Existence in Mirror," reappearing on the steps.
He continued on his way.
For some reason... there was an indescribable strangeness to the feeling.
If Lord Nine Phases were such a powerful monster—
"There are guards on the terrace ahead, there really are a lot of guards here," the voice of the Underworld Lord rang out.
Shen Ye's thoughts kept flashing as he continued forward.
The terrace was just ahead.
