Otome's Law of Ascension

Chapter 172 172. Giant Rat
The long corridor smelled of rust, and Licia and Linda Till walked side by side.

Case and Vincitta followed.

"Shh." Vincida frowned and looked at Case who made a little movement.

Red and black light came through from a distance.

"About another 10 minutes, we will be able to see the evil spirit." Vincida said.

After freeing Case from the dungeon, Vincita invited her to visit the darkest and deepest secrets of the Doba family, and she didn't shy away from Case.

Licia felt the sound of wings fluttering in her ears, and turned her head to see a dark bird landing on the wall lamp.

"Why are there birds here?" she asked warily.

Linda Till looked up and said, "It's a black sparrow, it's my black sparrow. It was only gray when His Majesty was alive, but mine was black."

"It's been here all along," Vincida said, "Since we discovered this secret, the black sparrow has been stalking here."

After a while, the black bird circled up from the lampstand and landed on Linda Till's shoulder, close to her ear.

"It's been moved, it's been moved." The voice was extremely low, but Licia who was standing by could hear it clearly.

"The evil god has made movements in recent days." Linda Thiel turned her head and explained to Vincida, who might not have heard from behind.

"Time and what happened to the Dark Mountains can still be matched." Vincida said.

Originally, the wall lamps in the corridor were not on, and a few lamps suddenly went out sporadically in front of them.

Licia felt that something was wrong, her hand was already on Selene, and her fingertips touched Selene's soft corners.

"Be careful." Case quickly jumped up to Licia's face, and kicked away a mouse that was as big as an adult hound.

Licia didn't notice.

Linda Till slightly raised her hands hanging by her legs, and a cluster of flames ignited along the ground beside the corridor.

A giant mouse was standing in the middle of the road and staring at the four of them.

At this time, all the lights in the corridor have been extinguished.

A silver light whizzed around Case, splitting the fur of the mice.

Green, rotting gas visible to the naked eye emerged from the giant rat's body.

Veinshita drew out the accompanying sword hanging from her waist.

The green gas suddenly gathered from a loose state, gathering into a spear, at a speed that Case couldn't even react.

With a puff, it inserted into Case's shoulder.

Case fell, Licia caught him, and the green spear charged at Vincida again.

Even with the long sword in hand, Vincita was completely unable to reach, and was also pierced through the shoulder.

The change came too fast.

Licia quickly handed Case to Linda Till, and then faced the green spear coming towards her.

She raised her right hand calmly and grabbed the spear, the tip of which was almost touching the tip of her nose.

Selene, who was coming back behind him, took advantage of the opportunity to scatter the spear made of gas.

"Case, are you okay?" Licia first checked Case's wound, and there were signs of poisoning around the wound.

But Case had regained consciousness, and he shook his head and said it was all right.

And Vincida's situation was a little worse, she didn't respond at all, her lips turned white, and her divine power couldn't work, I don't know why.

"It shouldn't be life-threatening." Licia said, "Go out first, I will go in alone."

Case struggled to stand up, he shook his head, "I have to go with you, Wood Heights has more secrets than that."

"I'll just go with her, and you take Vincida out." Linda Thiel stroked Vincitta's pale face and closed eyes with her graceful and luxurious hands.
