When you step into the cave, it's still so dark that you can't walk without the lights.
"I'll use the lights."
That's what Almark said, creating a flame on his hands.
"I can hardly use magic, so I'll be a lighter. Leido, move freely."
"Thank you."
Reido smiles and rearranges his wand with a little hardening of his expression.
The two walked along a rough rock-skinned path with care at their feet.
After a short walk, the floor was flat as if it had been machined by a person.
I wonder if it's going to be real from here.
That's what Almark said, illuminating the front with a lamp, but the straight path leads a long way and you can't see the end.
Looks like he's walking a lot.
That's right.
Reido nods.
But it was the moment they stepped into a flat floor passage.
They felt their bodies bursting for a moment.
Ugh
Unexpectedly, Almark shouted.
When I noticed it, the passage that seemed endless just now disappeared completely, and iron and heavy doors appeared in front of me.
"Looks like this is the real beginning."
Reido laughs bitterly when he says so.
"I'm sure this is how the structure changes every time I go in."
Is that what you're saying?
Almark nodded.
The Trial of the Fountain Cave has finally begun.
Almark regretted not bringing Mars's wand, but there was nothing he could do about it, demonstrating the switching speed of raising mercenaries.
After carefully checking that the door itself did not emit magic, Reido put his hand on the door.
I'll open it.
That's what I'm saying. Push and open it.
Inside, it was a small room that looked like a rock pierced squarely.
When they step in, the lamp that was hanging on the wall lights up naturally.
"With lights?"
As he said, Almark put out the flames on his hands.
"I'm sorry I had to help you so quickly."
I don't think so.
Raidow looked around the room, saying so.
It was a strange room.
In a small room, two small statues are placed.
Both mimic monsters like little demons.
He sits on the floor with a relaxed smile on his face.
She was moaning painfully with her hands against her chest by the wall.
Both statues were half-naked and had small fangs peeked from their mouths.
The room just had an iron door that had just entered, and there was no way forward or passage.
"Suddenly it's a dead end."
Almark tries to tap the four walls lightly, but the cold stones just come back.
"There's nothing like a hidden door."
"Yeah."
Reido put his arms together.
"There must be a secret in this statue."
"That's right. I doubt it."
Almark nodded.
From the two statues, you can feel the blurry magic.
I'm sure there's some kind of trick.
"Magically destroy this statue."
Reido twisted his neck at Almark's words.
"I don't think you're suddenly going to use such a violent method."
That said, Reido probably reached out to the statue.
Raidow's fingertips touched the statue, but the statue did not move.
"I don't think we're going to make it out of nowhere."
Raido now takes a closer look at the statue, touching it a little boldly.
"This posture and expression seems to be a hint of something."
"Maybe."
Almark also revisits the statue.
A little demon sitting on the floor relaxing, and a little demon moaning painfully by the wall.
"It looks like it feels good, and it looks like it's going to hurt."
"Yeah."
Reido nods.
"I think that contrast has something to do with it."
They looked at the two little demons for a while and thought.
"I wonder what he's suffering from."
Almark smacks the little devil on the shoulder by the wall.
"You're holding your chest."
Reido said so and stared at the statue of a distressed little demon with his arms tied.
Do you have trouble breathing?
That's what it looks like.
Almark answered and then approached the little devil on the floor.
"I'm laughing like it feels good. What's so fun about it?"
"I wonder what. Sit tight."
Reido stared at the little devil's face.
The face that was staring at the demon with a difficult face suddenly softened.
What's going on?
When Almark asks, Raido shakes his head, no.
"I feel like my brother."
To your brother.
Almark remembered.
Speaking of which, you had a lot of brothers.
Reido nodded and looked at the statue with gentle eyes.
"My brother used to look so cool in the shade on hot summer days."
Cool.
In the words of Reido, Almark was flashing.
"Maybe."
Standing directly beside the little devil on the floor, he spread his hands.
"Ah."
Almark looked back at Reido with a loud voice.
What's going on?
"The wind."
Almark answered and pointed over his head.
"A little wind is blowing from above."
Huh?
Raidow, who approached with a strange face, looked at the little demon on the floor.
"It's true."
The ceiling of the room is made of the same decorative stone as the wall or floor.
I don't know how it works, but even though there was no gap, a very small amount of wind was blowing down towards the demon on the floor.
I see.
Raido brightens his eyes.
"Alright, Almark. It's wind bending."
"The wind bends... I see."
Almark nodded.
The wind bending technique is the magic used by Wendy and Nelson to change the direction of the blowing wind in Sir Boluk's garden maze.
With his wand, Reido twisted the direction of the wind that was blowing down to the demon on the floor with magical force.
To the little demon by the wall.
A breeze blows down at the distressed little demon.
I don't know if that's it.
Raidow looked at Almark worried.
"I think this is good, too."
Almark answers.
There was no change in the statue of the demon by the wind wall for a while.
However, a gradual change begins to appear in that painful expression.
Reido, the little devil's face.
Eh?
Almark pointed it out and Leido noticed it.
The expression of the demon gradually changed to soft.
While they were watching, the little devil's face ended up smiling like the little devil on the floor.
"I laughed."
Almark leaks his voice.
And the statue of the demon suddenly moved as if he were alive, and slapped the wall just beside him with a fist.
"Ah."
They both speak up at the same time.
The wall was cracked by the demon, and a passage appeared.
"I was right."
When Almark looked back at Rado, he nodded with a smile.
"Thanks to you."
"No, I would have destroyed the statue long ago."
Almark said.
"It's your power, Raidow. Let's move on."
