Chapter 34 Teleportation Array
“Princess Cécile, the materials are all prepared. The passage is a bit unstable at the moment, so we need to teleport with caution.”
“Mm, thank you for your hard work, Nana.”
Nalonate seriously opened the heavy iron gate for everyone, and what greeted them was a magnificent golden round hall.
Although not spacious, a huge teleportation array was carved in the center of the round hall.
It was similar to the teleportation array on Academy Island, but this array was clearly more advanced, with a longer teleportation distance.
“Please stand here, everyone. Next, I will chant the secret art of the Kolotia family to take you to the front of the temple in the Underground World.”
“Okay.”
Lonis was ready and stood beside Elus, eager to try.
Su Ling also looked at herself happily, as if proud of her perseverance.
…
“Ancient bloodline, light hidden in the shadows, I, as Cécile Moon Kolotia of the royal family of the Kingdom Ming, command you to open the gate to Ming Jin for us.”
As Cécile chanted, a miracle happened.
The surrounding air melted into a golden light, and Lonis could feel the space dissolving and transferring… seeming to swap with the teleportation array in the Underground World.
However, at this very moment…
…'”Princess Cécile, something’s wrong!”
“Lonis, be careful!”
Elus immediately hugged Lonis tightly, embracing her body with both hands.
Even though Isumi reminded them in time, it was already too late… The light did not last, but instead, a dark power surged in the void.
(What is this?)
Lonis had never felt this power, but just by looking at it for the first time, she instinctively felt her heart pound.
…'”What’s going on… why was the coordinate modified… this is…”
Cécile also looked around in surprise. The magnificent golden walls around her gradually disappeared, replaced by pitch-black iron pillars.
Countless metal shackles hung from the ceiling, and many pieces of flesh were impaled on spears, dripping black blood.
No matter how you looked at it, this was a terrifying place. Even though the teleportation was not yet complete, the smell of blood emanated from the surrounding space.
“It’s Castor’s dungeon.”
Isumi recognized the place with just a glance.
“Castor’s dungeon?”
“We… have we fallen into a trap?”
Lonis was shocked. She knew that Castor was one of the most important generals under the Trickster Demon, and the place she had traveled to in the Leve Device was Castor’s castle in Isumi’s memory.
This was undoubtedly a place full of traps and disasters. If the girls were directly teleported here, they would be in grave danger.
However…
Princess Cécile was not to be trifled with.
“Reverse, the array!”
Seeing that the situation was not right, Cécile forcibly stopped the reversal of the teleportation, attempting to make the teleportation channel flow backward and return to the underground of the royal capital.
However…
That dark power was continuously interfering.
Obscure and dark, chaotic and complex, and Princess Cécile, who was controlling the teleportation, was the first to be attacked.
“Your Highness!”
Nana ran to rescue her, but it was of no use.
Finally, the dark power engulfed Princess Cécile, and the scene around them returned to peace…
It was still the magnificent golden round hall, and still the underground of the royal palace.
But the silver-haired princess was seriously injured and collapsed.

“Oh, did it fail?”
Standing on the castle, a man with a pale face chuckled softly.
His skin was dry like that of a dead person, and even the veins that showed were dark blue.
However, there was an indescribable aura around him, a calm madness, and a hysterical rationality.
“You still can’t underestimate the descendants of the Kolotia family, but it doesn’t matter…”
The man looked up at the sky, which was perpetually deep purple, a sign of the world nearing its end.
“Since the successors of the Kingdom Ming have fallen, then let Candelle cause a fuss next, Hahaha!!!!”

…
Cécile was severely injured.
To be precise, her internal organs were all destroyed… If she had not received timely treatment, she would have been dead by now.
But even so, she was still in the intensive care unit and had not yet escaped the danger of death.
…'”How could this happen…”
Nalonate knelt in the corridor, her eyes filled with annoyance and shock.
This golden-haired loli seemed unable to believe that the princess, who had been smiling and amiable just moments ago, could have become like this in an instant.
“Nalonate, please be strong, this is not your fault.”
Isumi stepped forward and patted Nalonate on the shoulder: “You probably haven’t met Castor… He is a very terrifying demon, who can always launch the most fatal attack when you least expect it.”
“But, but…”
“Don’t worry, Dean Emerald is the most learned dean in C. Academy. She has seen all difficult and complicated cases and will surely be able to help Princess Cécile recover smoothly.”
…

…
With the sudden occurrence of this event, Lonis felt empty.
She had prepared for battle and expected that this trip to the Mingjin Temple would probably not be as simple as she imagined… but she never expected that just as it began, Princess Cécile would almost die.
“Elus…”
Lonis looked up at her black-haired companion.
Fortunately, Elus was fine. If this black-hearted girl was also seriously injured, she really wouldn’t have known what to do.
However, Elus now had a very serious expression, and her crimson eyes seemed to be contemplating something extremely important:
“This teleportation array should have borrowed the power of Ming Jin… but why did something go wrong?”
“Could it be that the power of the Mingjin Temple has been distorted… No, it shouldn’t be so fast. Logically, Ruo Hui Gong should be vigilant.”
“Wait, that guy isn’t trying to take advantage of the situation to…”
…
Just like that, Elus muttered to herself, and after a moment, she finally seemed to have figured it out and sighed:
“So cunning, truly so cunning. Are these guys from the Trickster Demon really this crazy?”
“Elus…”
“Alas, Lonis, don’t worry, I think I know what the other party wants to do. But… it’s still difficult to decipher their scheme.”
“Huh…?”
Although she didn’t understand, Lonis still wagged her tail: “Although I don’t quite understand what’s going on, what should I do to help Elus?”
“Well, we don’t need to worry about the princess. Isumi and the Dean will take care of her. Now, let’s go find General Gu Yanis.”
“Gu Yanis…”
“I think she must be overwhelmed with work right now?”
