Chapter 487: The Water of the Underworld

"It doesn't matter. As long as I can prevent this dark force from harming others, it doesn't matter whether I can continue to rest in peace. This is also a test given to me by the guardian angel."

"But let's go in and see if we can help in any way, okay? Miss Erina next to me is an expert in solving this kind of problem!"

"That's right!" Erina responded: "Let us go in and see the situation! Even if you don't let us, we will still go."

Saint Frye was silent for a long time.

Then he said this.

"In that case, you go ahead...but I still want to advise you to think more about it. Don't underestimate the power of that evil force."

"Well, we will be careful!" Erina replied, extremely excited: "Let's go, Nao! Don't leave my side, otherwise you will be eroded."

So, Nao came to her side and walked into St. Fry's tomb side by side with Erina.

In the tomb there is a statue of Saint Fry. On the platform behind him was the sarcophagus where he rested.

The two of them were able to learn the appearance of the tomb owner.

The strong stench here made Erina feel that every time she took a breath of air, the acid water in her stomach would try to rush up to her throat.

The source of the stench was in the hole not far from the coffin.

Nao followed Erina closely and came to the cave. After that, Erina released a ball of light and let it fly downward. The two of them looked towards the bottom of the cave.

And the scene inside was really mind-numbing—even Erina, who could withstand the visual impact, frowned.

The bottom of the cave was wrapped in a wall of flesh. There were also piles of rotten pieces of meat soaked in yellow liquid.

They are connected to the flesh wall through a blood vessel-like substance, but it is extremely dense, much like a spider web.

The piece of meat was constantly emitting black smoke and had many holes. Many red maggots as big as an arm crawled in and out of it - Erina was sure that they were blood-sucking maggots. They may grow into giant maggots as adults, or they may evolve into giant blood-sucking flies.

"Wow..." Nao covered her mouth, as if trying not to spit out: "This... is too...! How did this thing appear!"

"...It's really disgusting! Ugh!"

"You finally couldn't help but vomited it out. You couldn't complete the whole process without vomiting. Do you want to try again?"

"Don't be the narrator of the game for me!" Erina said half-irritatedly. Looking at the pit that was even more disgusting because of the vomit, she calmed down and analyzed: "Well... that's right! Those liquids are The water of the underworld. Judging from the shape of the bottom of the cave, it can also lead to other places."

"Yes. I also saw the passage going diagonally downward..." Nao looked at it worriedly, then turned to look at Erina: "What should we do? Do we want to go down?"

"You can't go down. I can just go by myself." Erina hesitated for a long time, and finally answered with difficulty: "Because, if I want to protect you from being affected by the water of the underworld, it will take too much power..."

"Huh? Do you really want to go down there?" Nao was startled: "Are you kidding, Erina-chan? Not only is it disgusting, it must also be very dangerous! If you are alone..."

"I have told you that there is nothing we can do. I can only go by myself! I don't want to jump in, but I have to investigate, right?" Erina sighed, rubbed her face, trying to dispel the fear and disgust in her heart: " I can do it...I can definitely do it!"

"It doesn't matter. As long as I can prevent this dark force from harming others, it doesn't matter whether I can continue to rest in peace. This is also a test given to me by the guardian angel."

"But let's go in and see if we can help in any way, okay? Miss Erina next to me is an expert in solving this kind of problem!"
