Following this line of thought, John uncovered more inconsistencies.
He suspected the Crimson Demon had never been asleep but was hiding somewhere within this secret realm.
Even the story depicted on the mural could very well have been fabricated to mislead those who saw it.
However, John felt that the Crimson Demon might have indeed been gravely injured or even dead.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have stayed here for so many years, and this secret realm wouldn't just be a high-level one.
Pushing aside his thoughts, John approached the massive coffin, casually kicking the hunched-over Lucas, who was ready to fight to the death, sending him flying away.
Then he circled the huge coffin, meticulously examining it, not missing any detail, until he found a keyhole in an inconspicuous rune.
The corners of John's mouth curled up, a smile spreading across his face.
