He checked all three walls as he checked. But he found no way out of them as he had hoped. Ryan was disappointed. Now they just have one more side to explore.
"Well, Xenia, we can fly or disappear from here to the top. Then we don't have to search for a new route. What do you say?"
"You are right. But if we were to go back to where we came from and those demons camped there, we would be caught. And by this time all the demon soldiers had come from their meeting place and camped in their designated places. And I think that it's normal for there to be demon soldiers on the way. Because outside the palace when the meeting with the king was going on, some soldiers were on this side. So they were already stationed there before we arrived."
"You are right."
"Hmm, we have to take every step very carefully. There's no need to rush. And we have to see what kind of place this is. And how does anybody get inside?"
Ryan went back to his work.
This time he scanned the last wall more carefully.
"What is this? Xenia, look here. There is something."
Xenia looked at it.
A strange print was noticed on the last wall. Xenia walked up to him. But the print was after the first layer of soil. As a result, it was not well understood what that thing actually was.
After so much trouble, a light of hope was found. So Xenia did not consider the print small, but gave it more importance to her.
"Ryan, we have to break through the first layer of soil to see that thing. If we remove the first layer of soil, we can see what it is?"
Bright lines on Ryan's face. He was very happy to succeed.
"Then why are you delaying? Quickly remove the first layer of soil. Let's see what's there?"
Xenia began to think. She doesn't know how to do that.
"If I was to use magic to remove the soil, I would run into another danger. It might be a trap set by the demons. So be careful. If you were to work magic, you would hit the imprint directly. So Ryan, look for the soil here like a shovel. Is there anything available?"
Ryan was really surprised. He thought that magic would solve this problem. But no, what Xenia said cannot be done by magic. Can't be caught by demons for a little peace. So Ryan without further waiting looked around for something that would help him remove the dirt from the wall and see the imprint clearly.
After searching for a while he found something that surprised him. A very old sword. Which is like breaking somewhere. There is no sharpness in this sword. Still he took it in hand and began to search again thoroughly. He began to feel that there must be something else to be found here. Because he got a very old sword here. He turned and searched the sand, hoping to find more swords or something sharp.
Suddenly he was startled to see something.
"What is this? How did they get here? So many skulls!"
Xenia heard his words and approached him. She picked up a skull from there with her hand. Then she examined it thoroughly.
"Here I see the skulls of demons. They are from long ago. How did so many skulls get here?"
Hearing this, Ryan's chest heaved. His hands and feet started shaking. His lips are also trembling. He wants to tell Xenia something but can't say it.
"What happened Ryan, why are you doing this?"
"No... I mean, I'm very scared. I don't understand what the Demon Lord has put my parents through. But the scene here makes me very scared. I don't even know where and how they are now?"
Two drops of water fell from Ryan's eyes. Xenia noticed this and went to him and hugged him.
After hugging for a while, when Ryan's heart rate returned to normal, she was released.
"You said that there is a powerhouse in your palace. And to get it, the Demon Lord imprisoned your parents. The Demon Lord tried hard to get it. But your father never agreed to give it to him. And I think that the Demon Lord hasn't had that power yet."
Ryan was surprised. He did not understand why Xenia was telling him these things?
"Xenia, why are you saying these things? I don't understand anything."
"I mean the Demon Lord won't harm your parents until he gets that infinite power."
The look of trouble disappeared from Ryan's face. An air of peace swept through his mind. He thought to himself, what Xenia said must be right.
Ryan bent down again and began to move the sand. He threw away the skeletons and skulls that came near him. And through the empty spaces he tried to find a sharp weapon in his hand.
After searching for a long time what he found was much older and duller than the sword he had previously found. Although it looks like a sword, its tip is circular in shape.
That would do no good so he threw that away too.
"Ryan, try to remove the dirt from the hole's wall with the one you found earlier without looking too hard. But be careful not to hurt the imprint. You have to leave the imprint intact to get out of here."
Ryan just nodded and picked up the sword without answering. Then proceeded to remove the soil from the imprint near the wall.
And Xenia stood there watching the scene. And sometimes looking around. If any danger comes upon them from some unseen place.
Ryan struck the wall first with his sword.
