Chapter 1212: Escape From Danger
“Haa… Haa… Haa…”
Hugging the invisible sword in her arms, Angelina dashed into the deep tunnel without looking back . She was so anxious that she felt an illusion of pain from rapidly breathing . As an undead creature, she didn’t need to breathe at all . But now, she felt as though she had restored her flesh and blood, like a living creature . But now, she wasn’t in the leisure mood to care about that . She sprinted desperately, and her wings could no longer flap . Even though that attack earlier didn’t hit her, the freezing current brushed past her and damaged her wings severely . At that moment, her flat, sleek wings seemed as though they had been through countless storms, fluttering behind her like a tattered curtain . It was a ghastly sight that pained one .
“Phew…”
After sprinting for a long time, Angelina slowed down her pace and held onto the wall for support, turning back to confirm that nothing was pursuing her . Although she felt relieved, she didn’t let her guard down yet . She gripped the sword, scanned around her cautiously, and continued advancing .
If it were possible, Angelina hoped to use this sword in battle . As a descendant of an ancient vampire family, she possessed their unique swordsmanship . Besides, she also clearly felt the energy accumulating on that invisible sword . If she were to wield the sword, she would be stronger in battles at the very least . But it was a pity that even though this sword allowed her to hug it, everything else was off limits . Angelina tried wielding the sword as a weapon and hung it on her waist, but either her head or arm was slashed off afterward . With no other choice, Angelina could only embrace the sword in her arms .
“Sigh… Seems like I can only rely upon myself now . I wonder how much farther I have to walk . I sure hope I don’t face any more forks ahead…”
Angelina soliloquized as she proceeded ahead, taking light, nimble steps like a specter drifting across the air . Fortunately, as though her prayer were answered, there weren’t any forks like before or winding tunnels that led to dead-ends . On the contrary, she was glad that after sauntering across flat paths for a long time, she realized the slopes were starting to incline upward, which meant that she was getting closer to the surface and wasn’t heading farther to the underground . Frankly, Angelina was terrified that what awaited her at the end of this tunnel was an even more deadly underground prison . She was no match for the Undead Skeletal Dragon earlier . If she faced another foe who was more powerful, she would undoubtedly be instant-killed .
After some time, Angelina finally saw something she yearned for a long time—a sealed, heavy stone door . It emanated a faint magical radiance and was seemingly enhanced by powerful sealing spells . If Angelina didn’t guess it wrongly, this should be the exit of this damn underground maze . As for how she should open the stone door, she didn’t give it much thought . She gazed subconsciously at the transparent sword that was bound by green, flickering spiritual light . Up until that moment, she didn’t know what its origin was . However, since it possessed self-consciousness and was found in this deep underground maze, it should more or less possess some ways around the seals .
And just as Angelina thought, the moment she approached the stone door . The faint radiance circling the invisible sword grew intense . Shortly after, the stone door in front of her emanated a similar brilliance . In a series of rumbles, the stone door opened gradually . Glacial steam escaped the gap, blowing on Angelina’s cheeks . The petite vampire braced herself up instantly . She stared with wide, blood-red eyes at what was behind the door . But apart from a natural grotto, there didn’t seem to be any dangers . After ensuring there was nothing except her around, she shuttled into the stone door like a wild animal, swiftly concealing herself into the nearest shadow . She turned and instantly scanned her surroundings . At that moment, the wide-open stone door beside her creaked as it closed itself .
Boom .
The stone door closed and the pitch-black cave restored its peace . However, Angelina didn’t move off right away . She remained hidden in the darkness, holding her breath as she scanned the place . As a vampire who had gotten herself into dangers and pursuits in the past, Angelina was an expert in this field . She wasn’t that foolish to fall into any avoidable dangers . Due to that reason, even though she was in an extremely unfavorable environment, she had ways to protect herself with her meticulous behavior .
After several hours and confirming there was nothing lurking in the darkness, Angelina strolled out of the shadows . She took a glance at the stalactites above, before metamorphosing into a shadow and zoomed ahead .
There were no traces of anything man made in the paths ahead . At a glance, she was inside a natural mountain cave . But this time, she wasn’t stupefied by winding tunnels and forks . With a clear target and without the restrictions of the green spirit boulders, she could take advantage of her abilities to effortlessly overcome obstacles .

Just ahead . It’s just ahead . I’m almost there!
At this thought, Angelina smelled the scent of soil in the wind . She had never been so agitated . She subconsciously picked up her pace and agilely passed through the natural cave . At the next moment, the petite vampire sprung up abruptly, changing into a bat that flew across the cave . The gloomy cave was finally disappearing from her sight! And what presented before her was the long-awaited…
“Wha—?”
After restoring her human form and landing on her feet, Angelina wasn’t as joyous as she imagined . On the contrary, she gazed at the sky dubiously . Her scarlet eyes glinted in confusion .
In her memories, the sky hovering above the Country of Darkness was boundless, pitch-black, and beautiful . The red, full moon was as dazzling and mesmerizing as a shining diamond, and it left a deep impression on her . It had always been that way since the Country of Darkness was born . But now, what unveiled before Angelina was nothing like that picturesque view . On the contrary, the sky seemed as though someone had mixed black and white paint together and violently smeared it onto an originally heavenly canvas . Just the sight of it was enough disgust one . The revulsion felt so distinct that it succeeded in wiping out the trace of happiness from escaping the dark underground in Angelina . Not only that, but also the moment she gazed at the sky, she had this thought—perhaps it might be better to remain underground .
This was totally unprecedented and unimaginable for the Angelina from a few seconds ago . She thought that as long as she left the underground, she could do anything . She didn’t expect to be disappointed so soon .

“What exactly is going on?”
Angelina shifted her gaze away from the bizarre night sky . After staring at it for some time, she felt a little giddy, and she couldn’t distinguish between sky and ground . At that moment, she stood on a path that was half-way up a barren mountain . One thing she felt fortunate about was that the cave exit led to safety outside the Darkness Capital . From her perspective, the entire Darkness Capital was shrouded in a pitch-dark barrier, which meant that Ion had no intention of stopping the Dark Curtain, the ultimate defensive mechanism . She wasn’t surprised by it . Instead, she was stunned by the scene around her .
It was total chaos outside the Darkness Capital . Blazing flames, death, and ruins spread across the land as though terrifying monsters had devastated the region . It made Angelina feel like she was in hell . The aura of death and disorder and the putrid smell of blood blended into one like a magical concoction prepared by a witch . Everything was thrown in the huge pot and stirred vigorously . No one could recognize its original shape .
“… Master, can you hear me? Master?”
After confirming that she left the envelopment of the pitch-black curtain, Angelina contacted Rhode using the spiritual communication . But what was weird was that even though she had gone away, she still couldn’t reach Rhode properly . She barely sensed Rhode’s position . The signals she sent were unclear and also disrupted . Not only that, but Angelina also didn’t know whether Rhode heard her .
It seems like the problem doesn’t only stem from the Dark Curtain .

At this thought, Angelina shook her head and turned to the other side .
Since I can’t reach His Majesty Rhode, I’m only left with one choice .
