“Babe?” Excitement flashed in Ethan Smith’s eyes.
“Yep! Let’s go, I’ll take you there!” Clare Richardson took Ethan’s hand and headed toward the depths of the Huge Pit.
The Huge Pit was cylindrical from top to bottom, but once they reached the bottom, it was entirely different.
Inside was a large flat area, and in the depths of the flat area was a stone house of moderate size.
The house was blocked by a Stone Door, which would normally have some taboos set up.
For example, top-level killing formations or various traps.
However, to Ethan’s surprise, there were no such taboos on the Stone Door at all.
Even when Clare approached, the Stone Door would open automatically.
The door slowly opened in a loud rumble.
Behind the Stone Door, there was a huge Throne.
Above the Throne, there was a faint, dark glow.
Clare pointed at the glow and said, “That’s it!”
Having said that, she excitedly ran towards the glow.
Ethan quickly followed and arrived in front of the Throne.
On the Throne, there was a mask.
Upon seeing the mask, Ethan’s face couldn’t help but change.
“Is… is this the ghostly face from the sky?” Ethan widened his eyes!
For some reason, Ethan felt chills running down his spine!
It was as if he was being stared at by countless eyes, that uneasy feeling made even Ethan shiver slightly!
“It’s this one. I don’t know what it can do, but I’m sure it’s not an ordinary object.” Clare stroked her chin, like a little adult.
Ethan frowned, and reached out to touch the mask.
At that moment, a huge force sent Ethan flying!
“Boom!”
The enormity of the force was startling!
The stone wall behind Ethan was shattered, and a huge rock slammed onto Ethan’s body!
“Ethan! Are you alright?” Clare hurried over anxiously.
Ethan moved the huge rock and walked out of the rubble.
He shook his head, saying, “I’m fine. This mask… seems to have some Forbidden Power.”
Having said that, Ethan approached the mask and attempted to pick it up for the second time.
However, the result was the same as the first time; Ethan was sent flying again!
The force was even more powerful this time than the last!
Even Ethan’s formidable body was covered in white marks!
“How could this be?” Ethan’s face looked somewhat troubled.
Clare frowned and said, “That’s not right.”
As she spoke, she reached out her small hand and grabbed the mask.
“No! Don’t move!” Ethan shouted urgently!
But it was too late! Clare’s hand had already touched the mask!
To Ethan’s surprise, Clare easily took the mask off the Throne! There was no resistance at all!
“It seems quite easy to take.” Clare played with the mask and muttered.
Ethan’s brow furrowed slightly.
Could it be… that only a pure dark energy body could remove the mask?
“Here, for you.” Clare handed the mask to Ethan.
As he held the mask in his hands, Ethan could feel an ancient aura assaulting his senses!
This aura almost enveloped Ethan and even affected his divine sense!
For an instant, countless images flashed through Ethan’s mind!
Although the images were fleeting, they sent chills down Ethan’s spine!
The terrifying murderous spirit was not something Ethan could bear!
“This is definitely no ordinary object,” said Ethan solemnly as he held the mask.”Of course! The treasure I’ve discovered must be extraordinary!” Clare Richardson said proudly.
Ethan Smith didn’t respond; he tried to put the mask on his face.
As soon as the mask was on, Ethan felt a strong burning sensation on his face!
It was as if his entire face was being torn apart, the pain was unbearable!
“Ah!”
Ethan hastily removed the mask and threw it aside.
“What’s wrong?” Clare asked with a puzzled expression.
Ethan didn’t answer.
Instead, his mind raced with thoughts. Was the mask somehow a perfect match for Clare?
Or maybe… like the stairway to heaven, it required approval?
“Clare, you try this mask on,” said Ethan, eager to test his theory.
Clare picked up the mask and muttered, “It’s so ugly. I’m such a pretty girl; wearing it will ruin my image.”
Despite her words, she reluctantly put the mask on.
At that very instant, a burst of light erupted from the mask!
“Clare!” Ethan shouted anxiously.
Clare showed no signs of reaction. Ethan tried to remove the mask, but it was as if the mask had grown into Clare’s face—it could not be taken off!
“Huh…”
A breeze blew by.
Shimmering light danced on the mask.
After a moment, the mask engulfed Clare!
Her entire body floated in the air, surrounded by a dark glow!
“Huh!”
Another cold wind swept through!
The shimmering lights formed an elongated shadow of a person above Clare!
This figure’s long hair billowed, her slender body exuded an ancient aura that couldn’t be concealed.
And on her face, she was wearing the same mask!
The vision lasted only a split second, but it sent shivers down Ethan’s spine!
It was as if his entire body couldn’t withstand the pressure of this presence— he was on the verge of kneeling to worship!
The light dimmed, and Clare descended from mid-air.
She removed the mask and mumbled, “What a strange feeling.”
“Are you… okay?” Ethan asked, unable to hide his shock.
Clare shook her head. “I’m fine, it just felt like I had a dream.”
“What kind of dream?” Ethan inquired urgently.
Clare shook her head again. “I don’t remember.”
Ethan remained silent.
But his mind was in turmoil.
Could it be… that there was a connection between this mask and Clare?
Or maybe… Clare was the mask’s master? And the mask had belonged to her in a past life?
Thinking carefully, the glow just now did indeed resemble Clare’s figure.
The only difference was— their personalities and temperament seemed worlds apart.
“Hey, what are you thinking about?” Clare tapped Ethan’s shoulder.
Ethan came back to his senses, shook his head, and said, “Clare, you keep the mask. It might be useful to you.”
“Me?” Clare pointed at herself and then quickly shook her head. “No, no, no, it’s too ugly! How can I appreciate my unparalleled beauty while wearing this!”
“Oh, shut up,” Ethan rolled his eyes.
“Listen, this mask is no ordinary object. It might be of great help to you someday,” Ethan said seriously.
Nobody expected that this mask would change Clare’s life entirely.
Little did anyone know, this quirky girl would later become a terrifying demon that people feared.
