Chapter 346 Behind The Steel Door
As Anna looked at Sophia she could see her life was now in danger, and if she didn't do anything she might likely die with this sense of urgency brewing within her like a storm, she suddenly turn to look at these demon beasts with deep hatred in her now pitch black eyes and utter a loud scream that sounded like a screeched the moment this sound came out of her mouth, all the demon beasts which were attacking Sophia from all corners couldn't help but quiver in fear as they paused and look at Anna.
However, that moment that they stopped in fear, was all that she needed to give it the final push to open the steel door. As she pulled out the steel door from the wall, she clenched her fist as she held the strings that were now cobwebs and swung them at the demon beasts as she shouted towards Sophia, "Duck!"
When Sophia heard her and saw what she was up to she quickly bent down and in the next moment a huge steel door swatter flew over and swatted all the demon beasts to the side of the wall, after doing this Anna shouted at Sophia to quickly follow her and they ran towards the entrance.
However, Anna had not let go of the steel door so immediately as Sophia entered, she used all her strength to pull back the steel door since it was a nanoparticle material she was sure the moment it was attached back to the lock it would instantly stick back like nothing ever happened to it, Anna kept pulling it back until she had entered inside as well.
After entering she finally paid attention to the steel door, and used all her strength to pull it back until she could see the sign of the steel door regenerating itself although it was slow she could tell if she just hold on for several more seconds it would definitely regenerate back to normal as if she didn't do anything to it, while she was focusing all her attention on the steel door a Dracoscourge suddenly appeared out of nowhere and bit straight at Anna's neck.
But before she could notice what was happening and dodge someone seemed to have anticipated what would happen and slashed the demon beast with a short sword, this sword was none other than the one Anna had used before after her sudden leap in strength she was confident she didn't need the beast weapon anymore so she gave it to Sophia for self-defense.
When she saw Sophia suddenly slash at the demon beast, making it fall back in half she couldn't help but be glad she had given the steel sword to Sophia otherwise she would have paid a heavy price today, with the demon beast now dead there was nothing stopping the steel door from regenerating completely, Anna couldn't help but curse loudly as she managed to completely see off the steel door.
Anna smirk to herself, as she took in a deep breath, however, the moment they sealed off the door, in a different room a pair of eyes that had been asleep all this while gradually opened, and at that moment a loud thumping sound could be heard as something hit the floor and slowly rolled away.
With the two of them now inside, and had calmed down that was when they noticed something odd that they had failed to notice before, compared to what they thought the entire place was completely dark behind the steel door, and they couldn't help but wonder the reason why, although they could see few small white LEDs lights place here and there, but that was all there was to it besides that the main lights above seemed to be completely out or had simply lost power.
Although Anna was surprised she didn't care that much, but then as she took a step forward, she could hear the sound of glass breaking apart, it was needless to say it had come from what she had just stepped on but she didn't seem to be very happy.
"Now why would someone go through all the trouble to destroy all the lights in this place?"Anna couldn't help but blurt out in confusion, she couldn't really fathom what must have been wrong with the head of whoever that had destroyed all the lights.
Although she could see in the dark that didn't mean she preferred staying in the dark what's more she was the type of person who was afraid of the dark, although she could feel that fear had now become nonexistent but it made her feel as if she wasn't herself anymore, so she didn't feel comfortable with the lights out.
"According to what I know the military equipment aren't as weak as these, at least as compared to the buildings that could last hundreds of years the power source could also last as much even if something went wrong or maybe an experiment was carried out. Strangely enough, the outside looked like it was untouched?"
"What if it was the person who had come before us?"Sophia couldn't help but say, at this moment she was sure Bernard was in this place although she didn't know why her instincts instantly became much stronger when she entered this place.
So she was confident Bernard was there, however, she couldn't understand what might have happened for him to destroy all the lights in the area, she also knew the military power source was stronger than what Anna had even said.
So it was needless to say the lights in the area wouldn't just explode for nothing, it was already suspicious she couldn't see him but even the lights had been destroyed which meant something wasn't right making her even more worried.
"Let's keep observing and see what happens first, but take this, it might come in handy."
Anna said out loud, and put her hand in her pocket close to her knee cap, after a while of rummaging through the pocket she brought out something, it was none other than a little crystal stone, and tapped it a couple of times as it gkow before she gave it to Sophia, when she saw it she realized it was the same type of item that she had used to light their surrounding when they had made that little camp in the library.
As Sophia held the little orange light that was coming out of the small stone, Sophia couldn't help but look at Anna. When she did she could see Anna now looked completely different, at this moment she could see she now had six pitch-black eyes from above her eyebrows and then her cheeks.
When Anna noticed Sophia staring at her, she didn't say anything. It was not like she had nothing to say but then she was left with no other choice otherwise both of them would have faced an endless swarm of demon beasts.
With that amount of demon beasts, there was no way they would have escaped unscathed. What's more, they would have also had no choice but to abandon their only hope of leaving this hellhole, and once they missed this chance she didn't know when they would get another opportunity again.
So if she was, to be honest, she didn't regret even the tiniest bit of decision she made in as much she could get back to her home planet everything would easily be taken care of, even if it meant paying the price of staying hideous for a while she was willing to accept it to her it was a fair trade.
