I Can Peek Inside Every Place And Even Record It

Chapter 103 Awkward

In just a few minutes, Ciel carried by Kaiya finally arrived at the end of the tomb.

There was an old hall that looked like a ruin. The walls were peeling off everywhere and many wine bottles were scattered around.

A gloomy aura filled the hall, and it was an aura that gave a very threatening impression. A person with weak strength would tremble if they stood here.

Ciel was able to calm down only because he had the protection of Kaiya.

He didn't do much observing as his eyes were quickly drawn to the golden throne at the end of the hall, more precisely to the small wooden chest on top of the throne.

The chest seemed to be made of ironwood, having a solid brown color. It also had a keyhole in the center.

At first glance, there was no aura emanating from the wooden chest, but Ciel who looked at it with the Eye of Heaven found so many layers of invisible formations enveloping the wooden chest.

'It must be inside here,' he thought.

He enhanced his Eyes of Heaven ability so that he could see inside the wooden chest.

With ease, he saw the object hidden inside. The formations could not block his view.

"Eh!" And what he saw could not help but confuse him.

It was something that looked like a diamond, having a constantly changing color.

At first, Ciel thought it was a rock, but after observing longer, he suddenly realized that it was not a solid object.

'What is this?' He wondered with narrowed eyes.

"Prince, look out!" Kaiya suddenly shouted, startling Ciel.

He felt something bad right after that.

Sure enough, when he looked to the side, he suddenly found a strange, statue-like creature, holding a large sword.

It flew towards him at an unimaginable speed.

There was no doubt that it could kill him. Luckily Kaiya appeared right beside him after she gave him a warning.

An ice sword appeared in her hand, she used it to block the statue-like creature's large sword.

Clang!

A loud crash resounded. Kaiya wasn't pushed in the slightest, but the creature was instantly thrown back, hitting the wall until it collapsed.

However, it reappeared an instant later. The lack of intelligence seemed to make it unaware of who it was dealing with.

This time, Kaiya looked at it with cold eyes. Instantly, the creature's body froze, making it unable to move anymore.

"It's safe now," Kaiya said to Ciel.

Her warning was actually just needless nonsense because the difference in power between herself and the various mechanisms in this tomb was too great.

Ciel shook his head, then walked over to the throne.

The chest seemed to have to be opened directly here as he saw that the formations enveloping the chest were fused with this tomb. If it was taken by force, something bad could happen.

Ciel was actually a bit hesitant about opening the chest here. How could he not, Kaiya was beside him.

She must also be interested and curious about the treasure that could increase the Mountain King's cultivation at an unimaginable speed. Not to mention that if she knew the type of treasure, if she saw it in person, it could have increased her greed so much that she chose to betray the Ice Goddess.

And Kaiya was clearly aware of Ciel's hesitation because the man fell silent as he arrived in front of the wooden chest.

"Prince, are you afraid of me?" Surprisingly enough, she immediately spoke that, appeared beside Ciel, and looked at his face with a seemingly innocent gaze.

Ciel opened his mouth as he saw the way she reacted.

When she realized his thoughts, it was enough to make him feel awkward, but she even brought it up, then looked at him with such an expression.

After thinking about it, Ciel thought Kaiya did have a slightly innocent personality.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been immediately fooled by the rumors saying that he was the son of the Ice Goddess.

Of course, she wasn't the stupid type either. When she saw something, she could still come to her senses in no time.

"Uhmmm..." Ciel who was not sure what to say cleared his throat.

After a quick thought, he said; "you know, before I came to the Ice Palace, I lived in a harsh place, betraying each other between friends was a common thing."

He chose to be honest with his hesitation, but added a few words to make Kaiya understand him.

His harsh life in the past could easily be used as a very reasonable excuse.

Hearing that, Kaiya held her chin and nodded as if she agreed with what he said.

"We do have to be wary of whoever it is including the people closest to us," she said.

"Then what should I do Prince to make you feel safe? Or do you want me to help you destroy all the formations guarding that wooden chest?"

As it turned out, Kaiya only showed her innocence more. She had no solution to this problem, so she asked Ciel.

Unfortunately, the latter doesn't have a solution yet either.

Getting more and more confused, he finally shook his head.

"Maybe I'm thinking too much and being cautious," he said.

"Wait, Prince, you can't let your guard down, after all, I am indeed very curious about the treasure." Kaiya hastily said right after Ciel said his thoughts.

She even looked worried, as if she wasn't sure she hadn't done something strange.

Ciel's hand that had previously started moving towards the wooden chest finally stopped. His eyes stared at Kaiya while his mouth opened slightly.

"Do you have any thoughts of snatching it from me?" asked Ciel.

"Yes!" Kaiya nodded calmly.

Ciel, "...."

"Maybe we do have to forcefully take this wooden chest, after all, as long as the key is in your hands, it will be safe. You just need to keep the key so that I can't take it away. Your body should be protected, right?" said Kaiya.

Seeing her increasingly doubtful expression, Ciel ended up wanting to laugh and cry at the same time.

"What do you think, Prince?" asked Kaiya.

Ciel, who felt that there was no other way, finally chose to nod.

"Alright, now I don't care anymore, if this tomb has to be destroyed, let it be, let others dismantle it underground," he said.

Kaiya smiled at that. She then pointed her hand at the throne.

"Prince, please come behind me," she said.

Ciel did as she said, stepping behind her.

Right after that, Kaiya added, "let's get rid of this hidden soul first."

"Hidden soul?" Ciel became hesitant at her words.

Meanwhile, Kaiya sent a drop of spiritual energy into the wooden crate.

Rumble!

Suddenly the hall shook while a majestic aura emerged from the air.

"Finally, someone came and reached this point. Girl, is it you, well, you will receive my inheritance, become the next holder of my treasure, now kneel down and call me, the Mountain King, as your master." A majestic voice appeared following the majestic aura.

Only a moment after that, Ciel saw the spiritual figure of a long-haired youth with a body that seemed to be able to withstand the fall of the sky.

He was wearing an extremely luxurious long black robe, standing with his hands on his back.

"This is the remnant soul of the Mountain King, it should appear when you open the wooden chest, but it doesn't have complete intelligence, it's just acting on the Mountain King's orders before he died," Kaiya said to Ciel in a low voice.

"Because I activated the soul, so it thinks I opened the wooden chest," she added.

Kaiya stared at the spiritual figure and then shook her head.

She replied, "not to mention now that you're dead, even when you were alive, you didn't deserve to be my master. You're just a small fish compared to my great master."

Hearing Kaiya's words, the Mountain King's soul who appeared in a dignified manner could not help but be stunned.

"What did you say?" he asked in a quick tone.

How could he not be astonished. This place was designed for those much weaker than him, he was looking for someone worthy, who would then become his heir. Talent was not important as his wealth could overlook that.

In theory, there was no way those who entered this tomb could resist all that. Unless this tomb was entered by people who shouldn't be.

Kaiya smiled faintly, she didn't respond, just waved her hand.

A great force then gathered, pressing down on the Mountain King.

"You're not an Hegemon?" The man's eyes were made wide, unfortunately he couldn't say more as his body had already exploded.

BANG!

The spiritual body's explosion caused the entire tomb to shake violently, the people outside even found the ground shifting downwards.

Kaiya who knew that the chaos in this tomb was about to begin moved quickly.

She grabbed the wooden chest, which instantly made the hidden formations glow.

They emitted an extremely powerful aura. Even if they were made by the Mountain King when he was near death, the power was still enormous.

Fortunately Kaiya wasn't weak either, she was a Third Stage Demigod with extremely terrifying combat power.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Kaiya's Spiritual Energy began to destroy the formations.

She only needed a little to dislodge the wooden chest from the throne.

After that, she grabbed Ciel's hand, placing the wooden chest in his hand before pulling him away.

Whoosh!

This time, she used maximum speed, arriving at the area where Mu Yixue and the others were in just a few seconds.

Then, she enveloped them all with her spiritual energy before pulling them out of the tomb.
