Standing close to it, he listened to the sound carefully. Within a few seconds, the sound got a little louder and seemed to be getting closer.

Just as the sound got close enough, a strong scent of the liquid came out of the pipe.

Lucian inhaled it unconsciously, and all his sleep disappeared from his eyes as he smelled the scent that made him feel as if his windpipe had started to burn.

He jumped back immediately and covered his nose with a handkerchief, asking in his mind:

\'What was that? That strong smell almost felt like... acid? But the scent was just too strong.\'

[You are right on the mark.]

The sound of the liquid flowing got louder and louder until it sounded near the pipe\'s entrance. Finally, a strong wave of the liquid flowed out of the pipe.

As soon as the acidic liquid fell onto the floor, even such a strong stone floor was affected by it.

As smoke flew all around, Lucian moved away from it; his body would easily be dissolved by this acid.

"Yeah right, just my luck, and the protagonist would have been able to just magically pass through this room. I can\'t see any way out of here."

Lucian cursed as he looked around but couldn\'t find any kind of hint; he was even having trouble since it was a different dimension.

The acid continued to flow into the room as it slowly continued to cover the entire floor. Lucian moved to the corner of the room; he tried to break the wall again with his sword, but it had no effect.

[F- Fuck, maybe fate had actually planned this all just to trap us. It is the perfect way to take care of both of us.

And because of your disappearance, there will be a fight between Natasha and Jasmine; just their roles have been switched.]

"Sigh, that\'s not important right now. I can\'t find any way out of here, and now I am stuck in this corner. Soon the acid will fill the entire room; I can\'t even climb onto the walls to get some more time."

Lucian had started to panic a little; slowly the acid got close to his feet, leaving only a tiny area for him to step on.

Taking in a deep breath, he tried to calm himself; this wasn\'t the first time he found himself in such a dangerous situation.

His mind moved at full speed as he thought about all kinds of possibilities.

Time seemed to have slowed down, since his body was still covered with the black flames, so even the approaching liquid had slowed down, giving him a little more time.

Before the liquid could touch his feet, Lucian finally had a thought. He bent down and retracted the flames from his hand, then he extended his forefinger towards the approaching acid.

The tip of his finger came in contact with the acid, and he felt a burning pain, but without a change in his expression, Lucian spoke: "Zero, store this all in your storage."

[Huh-? Oh okay, I understand.]

Without wasting a moment, Zero stored away all the acid without leaving even a single drop outside; since all of it was in contact, within seconds there was no acid left.

[Damn, that was a lot of acid, more than enough to fill this room two times over. Sigh, why didn\'t I think of that?]

Lucian finally moved his finger away. Even though he had only touched the tip, his skin was completely burnt off; if it had taken any longer, even his bone would have been visible.

"My heart is starting to hurt even more after all that thinking, and the dizziness is returning. We should hurry forward."

Lucian said as he wrapped his handkerchief around his finger to stop the bleeding. Though it wasn\'t a big injury, it was not wise to leave his traces like that.

After taking one more look all over the room, he didn\'t find anything, so he finally decided to just go through that pipe. There was enough space for him to move, though it was inclining.

He sent the sword back into Zero\'s storage, then walking close to the pipe, he climbed onto it and began to move forward.

It was made of stone too, so the grip wasn\'t bad, while the black flames kept burning around his body.

Those stones had some special effect, since even the cave wasn\'t dark but was fairly lit. Lucian continued to move; after around five meters, the pipe started to become spacier.

And finally, after a couple hundred meters, he saw an ending, and a bright light hit his face.

"Hoo, I can finally see the light. Now there must be some new kind of challenge." Lucian mumbled as he approached the end.

*HISSSS*

Soon he heard several hissing sounds, and without Zero telling her, Lucian knew what it was. Just as he expected, he saw countless snakes in the open plain.

There were trees, small grass, and all kinds of snakes, big and small. Lucian jumped out of the pipe and stretched his body; he really needed to sleep right now.

[At least a gate is visible now, so you need to reach there as fast as you can.]

"Hah, isn\'t this one just too easy? Let\'s just use the acid and make a way forward; I just need to release some acid and they would all move away on their own." Saying that, he began to move forward without a care in the world.

Black flames surrounded his body, slowing down any approaching snake, and he kept throwing the acid around, killing some of the snakes while others were injured, as they all ran away from him.

Just like that, Lucian arrived near the door; it was made of the same stone and was quite heavy. After removing the flames, Lucian pushed the door back.

And he again found himself inside another room, though this one was quite large, and in the middle, on a small stone table, a couple of things were placed.

"I guess this is the final room. Haa, finally I have managed to arrive here. Now let\'s see what we have here." Lucian mumbled as he approached the table, then he looked at the objects.

The stone door stayed open, but strangely no snake even came closer to it.

There was a book and a stone with a strange red pattern drawn on it; its size was that of two fists, and aside from the design, it didn\'t stand out too much.

Lucian first picked up the book and began to read its content since he wasn\'t in any hurry, as he sat on the stone table.

After reading a couple of lines and seeing the thickness of the book, Lucian, who was already feeling dizzy, decided to take the shortcut.

"Zero, scan this book and tell me its gist." He spoke as he began to flip the pages without reading.
