Chapter 177: 095. Judgement of the Heretic -1 (Part One)

In a basement floor located below the imperial palace.

In this place that was normally used as storage, Harman and the accompanying Paladins were furrowing their brows.

A large bookshelf located near the wall by the corner had been destroyed beyond repair. The wall there had crumbled, revealing a hole that led to an underground passageway.

The surroundings were dyed in blood, and servants in charge of managing this storage were gruesomely murdered.

Harman thought to himself. 'Did he infiltrate through here?'

This secret underground passageway led to a staircase connected to the exterior of the imperial palace.

However, the interior of the passage was constructed like a complicated maze. Not to mention, all sorts of traps were installed there, as well.

In addition, barriers constructed through magical means were set up within the secret passage, ensuring that in case an intruder managed to break in, a warning siren would go off.
