We made our way down, using the intangibility function of our cloaks.
As we passed through the walls, like ghosts, Maria and I descended the stairs and have hidden passages that should have kept strangers away.
The building was structured in such a way that it had so many levels—even underground.
Mana Gems provided illumination, and the structure seemed to be built using a rather strong alloy as the base material.
The walls had a metallic gleam to it, but I chose not to focus on those for too long.
I sensed some activity in every floor, making me curious as to what exactly the Netherlores were doing in such secret underground structure.
'Time to find out!'
Fortunately, I came prepared.
Summoning my Automatons—all of which had the [Unknowable] effect on them—I sent them to the various locations we bypassed.
'That final spot underground... that's the goal!'
I spotted so many Magic Traps and defences.l as we ventured deeper. Unfortunately for the Netherlores, none of them were going to be of any help.
They couldn't sense Maria's presence or mine. Besides, even if they could, we would simply pass through them.
'It's perfect!'
My heart somehow raced in both excitement and dread as we got close to the blot in space.
What I was sensing from there almost felt... forbidden.
'Could this be it? The big Netherlore secret?' My thoughts rang.
Soon, we arrived close to the point where Mana was basically nonexistent. Maria and I halted, now standing before a door.
'I don't know what exists beyond this door. It could be dangerous. If you want, I could teleport you away and take care of this myse—'
One glare from Maria made me realize I had said something unnecessary.
~We've already come this far together. Let's end this the same way.~
I couldn't agree any more.
As we both nodded while grinning ear to ear—at least, it felt like that was the expression she made.
'Alright. Why don't we pass through this—'
As I touched the large metallic wall, my body felt hard and stiff.
"U-uh?"
I wasn't intangible—or invisible—any longer.
'What in the...?!'
It was unexpected, but the [Unknowable] effect on my hand had gone.
Realizing this, I quickly removed it from the metallic wall—causing another strange phenomena to occur.
'It returned to its invisible state...?'
Why? What was happening?
'Could it be Anti-Magic?'
No—my [Unknowable] was a product of the Tower Arcana. I extrapolated one of it's space-bending functions to allow myself become intangible and non-visible.
Kind of like I was at a particular place, and also not there at the same time.
Anti-Magic couldn't interfere with Laws that complicated. It simply offset the effects of Magic made from Mana and Miasma.
Besides... this didn't feel like Anti-Magic.
There was no trace of Mana or Miasma behind the door.
There was no trace of anything!
"We'll have to destroy this door. There's a possibility we've already been compromised. To get what we want, we're going to have to love quickly."
Magic perhaps wouldn't work, even if I attempted to destroy the door with it.
'Let's find out.'
