Chapter Twelve: Entering the Path

Newman could feel the cold, yin energy from the depths of the earth wandering just dozens of meters beneath his feet, and although he wasn't as adept in magic power and spiritual sense as his two companions, he had many precise props and instruments to compensate for this shortcoming. It seemed as if this creature had now sensed the formidable power of the castle's residents, and perhaps out of fear of being captured and refined by these powerful beings, it had always stayed dormant while everyone still resided in Damarlinsk Castle. Even Rebry and Mihailovich had a hard time detecting this creature's presence, but Newman could sense it lurking in the dark, cold depths below with the Exploration Soul Needle he had developed. Judging by Newman's estimate, this place should be as deep as the Underground Fifth Level of the underground palace.
