Chapter 742

Dio had no choice but to believe Ruzie now as he didn’t have any other clue. Therefore, Dio followed Ruzie to a ruined city. On his way, Dio constantly checked the coordinates that the Nether Bead provided and it seemed he was heading to the right way!

Did it mean that the Grandmaster knew about the secret of the Ad.Pieris’ royalty? Dio shook his head as he still couldn’t wrap his finger around what the Grandmaster was looking for. Soon they came into the ruined palace. 

“These pillars used to be 200 meter tall, but now it’s just a pile of ruins!” Ruzie said with a sad look on her face, but Dio didn’t have the time to feel sympathy towards her. 

“Is the palace the entrance to your family Forbidden Area?” Dio said as he interrupted Ruzie’s thought. Ruzie snapped to her senses before sighing sadly. 

“It’s not here. It is directly above the mausoleum.” Ruzie said calmly. Dio nodded his head and headed towards the mausoleum that Ruzie pointed to. He forcibly opened the path as he noticed that the Nether Bead also pointed below, so Dio knew that the Grandmaster didn’t go anywhere just yet! 

Dio thought it over for a moment as he didn’t know which one was better? Engaging the Grandmaster at the forbidden area or luring him up first. He knew that the Grandmaster wasn’t a fool, and thus Dio realise that the path down would be rigged with traps!

But at certain point, Dio gave up and thought about scouting the path down first. He encountered a huge pit that would lead him to the bottom quickly, but it was too dark to see the bottom of the pit, so Dio threw a pebble to see how far the bottom was. But the stone seemed to hit something and suddenly, two dim lanterns suddenly lit up. Dio was confused as he noticed that the dim lanterns were slowly ascending and getting bigger as it got closer!

It wasn’t until it got very close to Dio that he realised that it wasn’t a lantern at all, but the eyes of a giant snake! He couldn’t help but remember about the Basilisk in Harry Potter, but it was clear that the snake in front of him right now was far bigger than the Basilisk! 

Dio dragged Ruzie back to a safer spot, but the giant snake immediately followed and stared both of them coldly. 

Dio had to admit that it was the first time for him to encounter a snake this big! Furthermore, the snake was covered with armor-like scale in dark green hue. Although Dio wasn’t afraid of the snake, he knew that he ought to move carefully! And so, Dio began to observe the situation to find the snake’s weakness if he had to fight it!

“Beatrice, it’s me, Ruzie!” Ruzie shouted in surprise. 

“Do you know this snake?” Dio asked as he was confused by Ruzie’s shouts. 

“Yes! That is Sister Beatrice! She used to take care of me and she disappeared not too long ago! I thought she has fallen to Heike’s trap. I didn’t expect she’d hide herself here.” Ruzie said as she walked towards Beatrice.

But before Ruzie got any closer to Beatrice, Dio pulled her back! Dio knew that Ruzie couldn’t transform immediately as she was already exhausted. Thus, Dio knew that Ruzie was vulnerable right now. 

At her current state, Ruzie was basically walking towards her death, so Dio decided to stop her, especially when he couldn’t ascertain whether the one in front of them was an enemy or not! 

“What are you doing? Sister Beatrice won’t hurt me! I want to catch up a little bit!” Ruzie said as she couldn’t understand why Dio stopped her. 

“On master’s order, no one is allowed to approach the Forbidden Area! If you don’t want to die, I advise you to leave this place at once!” Beatrice said in her snake form. 

Ruzie immediately stunned as she didn’t expect her sister to said something like that. “Sister Beatrice, what are you talking about? What master? Its me! Ruzie!” Ruzie shouted as she doesn’t understand what had happened to her sister. 

However, the snake was still indifferent, but one thing for sure, her killing intent keeps intensifying the longer they stay there! Dio notices that it would be dangerous very soon! He knows that if he and Ruzie doesn’t get away from this place soon, they would be forced to fight this snake!

Ruzie looked very sad as she couldn’t figure out what happened to her once kind and gentle sister Beatrix as she had become so indifferent and cold now! Dio noticed that Ruzie still hda something to say, so he immediately stopped her as he shook his head and dragged Ruzie away. 

“If I have to guess it, she’s probably under the mind control of the Mind Stone. There is no use to convince her now!” Dio said calmly.

“Is that so? What can we do to free Sister Beatrix from this Mind Control? If we defeat the person who controls Sister Beatrix, will she return to normal?” Ruzie asked expectantly. 

“If we can do that, then yes! But for now, we have to find a way down there without going face to face with that snake!” Dio said annoyedly. “If there is no other way, I wouldn’t mind making a huge platter of Snake Sashimi right now!” Dio said as he pulled out his scythe to force his way through the snake!

But as Ruzie tried to stop him, the snake began to move! The snake took what Dio as a provocation, and considered him as a threat! The snake immediately rushed forward at an incredible speed, attempting to swallow the two snacks in front of her. 

Ruzie never thought that one day, her sister Beatrix would bare her fangs toward her like this, but as for Dio, he didn’t care at all! Dio threw Ruzie to the side, and he immediately gagged the snake’s mouth with the scythe! 

The scythe’s blade digged into the snake’s mouth, and it rolled out in pain as a result! She almost forgot that the outsiders had some seriously powerful weapon and let her guard down out of arrogance! 

No one can disturb the master’s experiment underground, and thus anyone ought to get past her before they could see the master! 

Beatrix immediately spewed her stomach acid in order to dissolve the outsiders that stopped her mouth from closing! But before he was sprayed with the acid, Dio pulled out the scythe and jumped away into safety!
