The light felt warm. So warm that it was almost scorching.
They felt it from inside out, warming them in a way that felt strange, yet almost comforting at the same time.
In a dark, cold place like this, the light felt like a blessing from up above. They knew that it wasn't the case, but for a split second, it felt like that anyway.
Harou certainly felt that way. There was a look of reverence that crossed his face as the light dwindled a little, returning back to the normal level in the place.
The light felt so gentle, but there was also an edge of power to it that left the three humans feeling breathless.
"What was that?" Rosabel breathed.
Harou smirked, but the arrogance in his eyes was a little muted. There was an edge of gentleness to it now. "That was my master's scanning."
Perhaps he was feeling a little more giving after feeling the might of his master's powers, so he didn't snap or refuse to ignore an insignificant human's questions.
Now, the three humans were given a chance to look around the place.
The place was large, and circular, made in stone.
There were various chains that started from the top of the ceiling reaching to a giant hole in the ground. Each chain was thicker than a human's arm.
Each chain carried various runes, and they were all painted on meticulously. They were lit with a faint golden glow, but they didn't give off light they only reflected it.
From the looks of it, they were all still active and working even at this moment. You could see from the way that they were lighted up that they were working overtime to keep Harou's master sealed.
Usually, passive arrays were not lit up, and a lot people didn't even know that they were there.
Active arrays like this, on the other hand, were very easy to see.
Even laymen like the three of the Spectres could tell that they were working at this moment.
Harou noticed where they were looking and snorted, sneering disdainfully.
"Take a good look. If you can break it, then my master will naturally not be stingy and will repay you well."
The three of them looked at Harou in surprise. Harou looked very serious, but he did not seem to harbour any hope that they were able to break it.
It wasn't so easy to break something like this. Harou had tried countless times over the years.
But his effort was all for nought. He couldn't break it with brute strength, but neither did he have the necessary knowledge to break the array either. It made him very frustrated, but he never lost hope.
After all, seals and arrays were humans' possessions. Even if they wanted to learn it, no one would teach them.
Perhaps one day, someone with the necessary knowledge that was going against the company would come down here.
Now, there was indeed someone here, but he didn't know if they were the salvation that they had been waiting for.
Harou and his comrades had been stuck here over time, unable to do anything to save their master. Each one of them had been duly frustrated since they couldn't understand human words written on books.
Even when they wanted to make a move against the people who checked on the array every once in a while, they were scared that they would make their master suffer, which left their hands tied.
To Harou, who was naturally arrogant, it was a life worse than death. He was unable to live freely and make a move whenever he wanted to, and over the years a lot of his natural arrogance had faded.
Even a stone would be grinded after being worn down for so many years. Harou, who seemed arrogant in their eyes, was actually already a lot milder than he had been at the peak of his years.
Harou casually glanced at them, and he already knew that the humans probably wouldn't be able to do anything about it. All three of them had looked stunned when they saw the runes on the chains earlier on.
His master was in there… but Harou couldn't even get close to him.
There was a sense of pain in the wolf's heart that was very familiar, but his eyes were calm. He was already used to it…
Yuki and Rosabel's brows furrowed. They had seen such complicated arrays and seals before from their Boss, but it naturally wasn't something that they were able to produce.
While all of the Spectres were already proficient in breaking simple seals and common arrays by now, complicated things like this were still better left to their Boss.
They discussed it in low voices. "Maybe we should ask Boss to come here and take a look?"
"But… what if they end up becoming enemies in the future?"
Harou heard it with his sharp hearing, but he obviously wouldn't correct them. Their misunderstanding was their own problem. He and his master always kept their word, which meant that they wouldn't make a move on their own benefactor.
If they didn't understand it, then that was their own problem.
Hayden shook his head. "I don't think so. Didn't you hear Mr. Harou say that he and his master would repay us? If he wasn't being sincere, he wouldn't have said those words at all."
The two Sins thought about Hayden's words. He was right. After all, Harou was the arrogant type that would naturally follow the words that would come out of his own mouth.
They'd seen people like this in the Spectres as well, so it wasn't anything special.
Harou glanced at the little human who smelled delici- smelled decent. It seems that this human was still smarter than the other two.
Yuki was still prone to thinking about other things. "I feel like it's fine if we manage to break the array, but we don't have that much skill."
Rosabel nodded.
Hayden, on the other hand, looked at the chains that converged in the hole leading down.
His gaze naturally went up to the spaces where they met the ceiling.
Harou coldly glanced at them, not saying anything. He had already tried everything that they were thinking about.
He'd tried breaking one of the chains up there, and it had indeed been broken by his full strength. The problem was that every time a chain was broken, the array became stronger, which only led to his master being pressed even tighter.
He didn't dare to do it anymore after that.
His master already suffered so much that now, he could only sleep and hibernate to retain his sanity.
The main problem was, after causing all that trouble, the people from that damn company had eventually ended up taking him into account as well, adding him to the list of effects that were contained in the array.
In the end, he couldn't even stay by his master's side faithfully.
Yuki looked at Rosabel, who looked at Hayden.
They could see that Hayden was very determined to help Harou's master, whoever it was inside there.
Hayden looked at Harou. "Mr. Harou, can we enter that hole?" he said, pointing at the giant hole in the middle of the room.
Harou's face tightened a little before he said lightly, "You can."
The three humans exchanged glances again, before deciding. The three of them approached the hole in the middle of the room, noticing that Harou didn't move a single inch.
Out of the three, Yuki and Rosabel were suspicious, but Hayden felt no such suspicion. Instead, he directly jumped down, alarming the two.
They jumped after him instantly.
Harou looked at them enter with a complicated expression.
"I hope you can save my master…" he said lowly.
Then, he fell silent as he stood there, as still as a statue.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
