Chapter 77 - Mask of Deceit(2)

"Uuuuugh! Uuuuuuggggh! Huff... Huff... Fucking rats!"

I spat, wiping the sweat off my forehead. Averting my gaze from the yellow liquid I had released from my mouth, they shifted onto the burned corpses of those pesky rodents. Their pulsating green was already dimmed by the ashes.

The air inside the sewers was now filled with the acrid stench of their flesh burning. It was nauseating, making my stomach twist. The bile forced itself out of my throat due to the pungent smell.

"Fuck! This smell is going to stick with me for a while," I mumbled, holding the urge to vomit again. I am pretty deep into the sewers now, due to which I had to fight so many of those rats.

I might've completed the side quest before it even started.

How many did I kill? 100? 200? I don't remember.

37.> Croft announced in a cheerful voice. Surprisingly, she had grown more human ever since the update.

Damn...

  </p><p>"Well, at least it is better than Child Beater..." </p><p>My eyes fell to the ground on the multiple broken glass shards that belonged to the oil vials I carried. Every vial of the combustible oil that I had brought with me was empty except for a few. I will need those. </p><p>Ignoring the burned carcass and the vile stench, I pressed my body against the cold surface of the sewer walls. Pressing on every brick that was planted, hoping for the hidden entrance to open up. </p><p>In the game, the entrance could be found easily as the player was guided by the quest marker to the brick that could be pushed. </p><p>But this is reality, and I have to find it by myself. Croft can only narrow down the area, not locate the exact place. But still, at least I don't have to fight the entire population of rats. </p><p>Click. </p><p>As my hand brushed against a brick, it moved inward. I took a few steps back, watching the wall in front of me tremble. Its lined edges were now visible to the naked eye. </p><p>"And here it is..." I smiled. </p><p>The wall moved forward, separating from the stilled ones and shifted to the right. A path opened up in front of me, darkness consuming its every corner. </p><p>Tapping on my ring, I pulled out a small lantern from the warp. But the thing was inside, it was not flames but rather an ambient blue glowing stone that lit up the path before me. </p><p>This thing is known as a Mana torch, a default item carried by Mazekins.  </p><p>It can scare away reptilian beasts and can also serve as an S.O.S device if the mana stone inside the lantern is broken. Although the emergency help call won't help as it is not linked to another mana stone. </p><p>Which is good, I don't need anyone to find me messing around the place where others release their emergencies. </p><p>Raising the lantern to the front, I stepped inside. The brick wall behind me rumbled again before closing on me. </p><p>Now, I was trapped and I can only get out by solving the puzzles, or I can just starve to death. </p><p>Moving forward, the path was not that different. No, ornate patterns on them, just desperate screeches and claw marks. Probably those who came before and were bound to the fate of eternal starvation. </p><p>My feet a few times landed on the skeletal remains of those who came before me. Some skeletons were sitting on the ground, backs against the cold brick walls. </p><p>The walls had numbers such as 23 or 36 carved on them, amounting to the days they had survived. Few even used tally marks. </p><p>"Idiots or poor bastards are the only words I can use for them..." I sighed. The puzzles are quite easy to solve. I solved them on my second try. </p><p>[Then why couldn't others?] Dante asked. </p><p>It is simple, the scriptures were too outdated for them to understand. </p><p>The puzzles here used ancient scriptures that normal people could not understand. These texts are said to have been used in the time of the First Great Six Sovereigns. </p><p>And as for Raiden... He had Gabriel, my Dante and Croft equivalent, as he was both a system and mentor to Raiden. He could decode the scriptures and guide Raiden to solve the puzzles, ultimately acquiring the Mask of Deceit. But that also creates a mystery around his identity and motives. </p><p>Something that was never cleared till the end of the main quest. </p><p>Halting my steps, I moved the lantern to a specific spot on the narrow walls and pushed another brick. The wall beside it rumbled, but it descended to the ground instead of sliding off. </p><p>Beyond the new entrance lay a room consumed by the shadows. Thinking nothing of it, I stepped one foot inside the room. </p><p>Fwoosh! </p><p>Fwoosh! </p><p>Fwoosh! </p><p>Fwoosh! </p><p>Fwoosh! </p><p>Fwoosh! </p><p>As if on cue, six torches lit up with amber flames. In front of me stood four pedestals equally distant from each other, each had a scroll on top of it. </p><p>The dark brick wall behind the pedestals glowed with a pulsating yellow light in the form of scriptures no man in this era could ever understand. </p><p>Other than me. </p><p>Ever since my fight with Arvax, the Sovereign of Frost. I figured out that I could understand ancient scriptures and speeches. </p><p>[I can understand them too.] Dante said, his voice laced with pride. </p><p>But I don't need your help now. </p><p>My eyes locked onto the pulsating letters. "Truth on its own is feeble, but so is a lie. When the lie is dressed in desire, it hides the deepest." </p><p>"Choose the lie that hides." </p><p>[You sure you can do this?] Dante asked, his tone doubting. </p><p>I ignored him, moving towards the first pedestal. Grabbing the first scroll, I rolled it open, gauging the letters inside it. </p><p>"The Dawn cometh from the West." I blurted out loudly. Then, I moved on to the second one and opened it. </p><p>"The Flames Burn." </p><p>Next, the third one. "One is always destined for Greatness." </p><p>And the last. </p><p>"All are born equal." </p><p>Putting the fourth scroll back down, I stepped backwards. A few new glowing letters emerged on the wall. </p><p>"What is thy answer?" </p><p>Taking a deep breath, I raised my hand towards the third scroll. "One is Always Destined For Greatness." A knowing smile played on my lips. "It is the lie that hides in the desire of a person to be great." </p><p>"'The Dawn cometh from the West' is a blatant lie. 'The Flames Burn' is a known truth, and 'All are Born equal' is an ideal, not a desire." </p><p>The scroll on the third pedestal crumbled, leaving behind the empty pedestal. The pulsating letters stopped glowing, and the wall they were carved onto rumbled and descended to the floor.  </p><p>Opening the path to the second puzzle. </p><p>Taking the lantern in my hand again, I moved towards the new path.  </p><p>"Time for the second puzzle." </p></div></main></div></div><div class="Chapter_pagination__6GVL1"><button class="nu_btn Chapter_btn___l_Dd Chapter_prev__RXWDB
