Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 520: Secret Storehouse

Under the morning light, the Unicorn Castle was filled with flames and smoke. However, as the battle progressed into the castle, and the resistance became weaker and weaker, the sounds of fighting in the castle gradually faded away. However, this castle was no longer as elegant as before. It was as if a beautiful woman's clothes had been torn apart, and she was in a sorry state. Suddenly, a surging wave of fire rushed out from a room in the castle!

The wave of fire was like a pillar, and the flame continued to rise. After a while, it gradually disappeared.

The ceiling of Daniel's study was almost torn open by the blazing flames. The room was filled with dense hot smoke, and smoke and dust billowed and scattered in all directions. In the dust, a figure retreated in a sorry state. The skinny guard used all his strength to retreat in order to avoid the direct impact of the earth fire. He was still shocked when a person suddenly appeared in the thick smoke ahead. It was Alan.

Alan dragged a few white heat waves, his bright red pupils calm and without any waves, clearly reflecting the thin man's figure.

Qianjun was dyed with a mysterious yellow light at some unknown time, and the black saber was like charred carbon sticks that gushed with green smoke. Allen brandished his saber and swept it across. Qianjun pulled out a yellow halo and gently spread it out in the air. The skinny man flicked his sabers and staggered towards Qianjun, wanting to suppress Alan's attack. Behind him, the fat guard had already rushed over. As long as he stopped Alan for a moment, he could join hands with his companions to defend against the enemy.

However, when the knives in his hands were swept by Qian Jun, the thin man suddenly felt that something was wrong. The hair on his head stood upright, and all the cells in his body were screaming. That was an extremely dangerous signal. Thus, in his line of sight, he first saw his two blades shatter at the same time. The opponent's saber was obviously extremely rough, but his two sabers seemed to be sliced through by the sharpest blade. The fracture was actually extremely smooth, and carried a piece of metal that was instantly heated up with a red light.

Following a wave of heat, the thin man's pupils widened behind the mask. He retreated several steps back with his dagger in hand, and then suddenly spat out a wave of fire from his chest, causing him to kneel on the ground dejectedly. Green smoke rose from his body and he was already dead.

Seeing this, the fat guard at the back screamed and wanted to escape.

Alan threw the heavy saber at the guard like a javelin. Qianjun drew a pitch-black and dense trajectory in midair. The guards shouted wildly as they mustered all their Origin Energy to lift the shield. However, Qianjun easily pierced through the shield under his Origin Energy protection like a piece of paper and stabbed half of the blade into his chest. The thick armor on his chest also didn't protect him at all.

A strange noise came from the fat guard's throat, and a flame suddenly burst out from behind the mask. The metal mask was bounced away, and the guard's face was completely burned.

Although the two of them were elites trained by Daniel, how could they defeat Alan's Inch Flame? Even if it was an incomplete version of the overbearing killing move that killed the Demonic Bug Empress instantly, it was not something that two guards could withstand.

Alan walked to the fat guard's corpse, pulled Qianjun out, and looked at Daniel's son. Ante's hands and feet trembled and sweat poured down his face. Being touched by Alan's gaze, he subconsciously shouted and slashed at him with his sword. Alan spanned and Ante cut through the air. He waved his hand and sliced the back of the young master's neck, knocking him unconscious.

At this moment, a Mountain King warrior rushed in with his voice. Ellen tossed Ante to one of them, "Watch him. We can't let him escape."

Then, he looked at the other person in the study.

Walsh sat on the ground, staring at the two corpses on the ground. He also knew about the two guards. Their strength was above that of the guard captain who was protecting the castle, and the two of them were even more powerful when they worked together. However, if Walsh hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it if he had died at Allen's hands.

Suddenly, his eyes darkened. He raised his head and only a black silhouette remained of Ellen, whose back was facing the sunlight. Especially the heavy saber that still emitted smoke and heat after using the Inch Fire stance, which caused Walsh's heart to go cold. Walsh screamed like a young girl. He used both hands and feet and retreated, shouting, "Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

"I won't kill you, but how will Mr. Walsh repay me, this filthy, damn intruder?" Alan squatted down so that Walsh could see the brilliant smile on his face.

But the brighter Allen's smile was, the more frightened Walsh was. '"Sir, please forgive my ignorance. You are so strong and valiant. Not to mention these two stupid guards, even my brother Daniel is no match for you. That's right, you are the owner of this castle. Everything in this castle is yours, including all the wealth in the secret vault."

"Including the secret vault?"

"Including the secret vault!"

Alan nodded and said, "Then what are you waiting for? Lead the way."

Walsh immediately jumped up, tidied up his clothes and bowed, "Please follow me, master."

Alan could only shake his head at such a shameless fellow. Daniel could be considered a character, but it was surprising that his brother was so unbearable. Walsh had already knelt down and walked out of the study. Alan followed him with his knife and the two of them went deeper into the castle. Under Walsh's guidance, Alan finally appeared at the entrance of a secret passage.

The passageway stretched downwards, and it was pitch black below, as if it led straight to the abyss.

Walsh took a torch from the wall and walked down first. Alan walked behind and entered the secret passageway. Although it led to the ground, the air was not so stuffy. There must be a good ventilation system downstairs to keep the air flowing. The secret passageway wasn't long, so he turned around and saw the bottom. However, at the end of the day, a person suddenly emerged from the darkness.

Under the light of the fire, it was an old man. "This is not where you came from. This is Lord Daniel's secret warehouse. How can you lure the intruders here, Mr. Walsh?" He shouted with a rifle in his hand.

"You … you're betraying my lord!"

Walsh said to Alan, "This old man is my cousin's butler. I thought he was very eye-catching a long time ago!"

Suddenly, he kicked the old butler on the chest and kicked him to the ground. Walsh rushed forward and snatched the gun from the butler. He turned the muzzle of the gun and laughed sinisterly, "Die, old thing."

Just as he was about to press down on the trigger, the barrel of the spear suddenly became heavy. The muzzle of the gun pointed down, and the shot landed on the ground, releasing a ball of fire. Walsh was shocked, only to discover that it was a pitch-black blade pressed against the gun. He looked at Allen, who was beside him, with a puzzled expression.

"At least he is a loyal person." Ellen slid his heavy saber away and lightly patted the old butler's body. He knocked him unconscious and said, "Let's go. Don't waste time."

"If we don't kill him, he will inform us!" Walsh smiled bitterly.

"I have my own limits." Alan said coldly, "Now, Mr. Walsh, don't waste any more of my time!"

Walsh could only helplessly leave. At the same time, he knew that if he escaped with his life this time, he would have to leave this place far away. When the old butler went to report to Daniel, even if Daniel was his cousin, he would definitely kill him. He couldn't figure out why Ellen wanted to keep the old butler, could it be because of his loyalty? Ha, this isn't funny at all.

Of course, he didn't know that Ellen wanted the old butler to inform Daniel. Otherwise, how could he bring back the unicorn army from the bauhinia flower?

Finally, they arrived at the entrance of the secret vault. At the entrance was a wheel with a metal pointer and a dense circle of ticks. Looking like a magnified safe, Walsh proudly stepped forward and said, "Apart from my brother, only I know about this secret lock. If the needle cannot be adjusted to the correct scale, the explosive hidden in the middle of the copper door will detonate, killing the secret vault and the intruder."

"Daniel trusts you," Alan said as he moved the pointer.

"Trust?" Walsh turned around and said, "No, no, my lord. My brother doesn't treat me like a relative at all. He treats me like a dog. I spent a lot of effort getting the password to open this secret vault. Hey, come on."

He didn't say how to get the password, but from Walsh's words, this fellow wasn't planning to betray Daniel today. He secretly obtained the password to open the secret vault and flee with the treasure as soon as there was an opportunity like today. It was just that his luck wasn't very good today, so he had to bring himself to open the secret vault together.

After the sound of gears running through the bronze door, a crack appeared in the bronze door. Walsh slid the door in with all his might, and even with the help of a pulley below, the thick bronze door opened with great difficulty, producing a series of unpleasant sounds of metal rubbing against the ground. Walsh lifted the torch up, and by the light of the fire, Alan saw a large warehouse.

A faint light shone from above the warehouse, and he looked up. The ceiling above is not sealed but has multiple air filters. It was through these filters that the light entered, leaving behind dim pillars of light in the warehouse. After Walsh lit up some of the surrounding wall lights, Daniel's secret warehouse was exposed to the gaze of Alan, an outsider.

Alan's ears twitched as he looked out of the passageway. The old butler had already disappeared, and he was already in a hurry to inform Daniel when he woke up. At this moment, Walsh said, "Look, there's so much gold in here. It's all golden. Damn Daniel, I knew you were rich, but you only give me a hundred gold coins a year to your brother! You stingy bastard!"

Turning around, Walsh had already pounced on a shelf. On the metal frame, every square was covered with square bars of gold. Under the light of the fire, these gold bars emitted an attractive glow.
