The entrance to the ruins and the dots were found immediately.

A strip centered on some of the ruins more exposed than in the ground by the aftermath of the battle was designated as an off-limit area and surrounded by fences. Excavation work was carried out inside the area surrounded by the fence, and the excavation discovered the entrance to the site. At present, the entrance to the site is severely sealed off by armed Gandia soldiers, so that no one can enter it.

Setuna and the others, who reached its entrance by the guidance of the head of this investigation team, Will-Weed, were astonished to see it as if a giant monster were opening its mouth. Exposed by the battle between Setuna and Niewe was the gatepost of the ruins entrance.

"So you mean when you dug out some of the ruins, you found the entrance"

Setuna stood in front of the monument entrance, looking up at its large gate. It seems that only a small part of the gatepost was exposed, from which it can be imagined that considerable excavation work would have been required until the entire gate represented itself. It's a big gate. It was tall enough that the descendants of giants might normally be able to get in and out, and it was wide across. The gates aren't just huge. On the other side of the gate, that is, the passage of the ruins, was just the same size. A space where even giant bodies like glyphs seem free to walk around.

"That's the thing. It just took me a while to figure out it was the entrance."

"Why?"

"It was buried in the dirt from the entrance to the middle of the internal passage. I had a good idea it must be part of the ruins, but I had to dig up a lot of dirt to find out it was the entrance and exit."

"Hmm."

"You're not interested."

Sheila looked at her sideways as Miliu floated an appropriate reply.

By the way, starting with Setuna, the fact-finding team's escorts are preparing for battle with the Imperial Devil and wearing protective gear. What Setsuna, Miliu and Sheila are wearing are improvements to the new protective equipment, which was just delivered to Gandion the other day. Maldar's blacksmith and king's proximity Barrett-Weismoon's real father, Alou-Combs' confident work was a dish of successful lightening without reducing the defenses of the new defenses, and was a top thank you to Setuna and their armed summoners and summoned armed users.

However, it was not a symbolic color of each because it was not exclusively attached to the Setunas. The blue metal colour remains the same as the colour of the new protective equipment and modified material.

"Yeah."

"You just admitted it, dude"

"I'm not interested in anything other than Setuna."

"Uh, yeah."

Sheila put up a portable Demon Crystal lamp when she hammered the throw. Inside the ruins it was dark. The darkness was wrapped in spooky silence, with an unspeakable atmosphere.

"The investigation inside the site has been halted along the way, in view of the encounters with the Imperial Demon and various dangers. but I was wondering if it would be safe to place the Demon Crystal lamp along the way."

"Ho."

"Thus"

As Will-Weed let his hands touch the walls inside the ruins, the interlocking demonic crystal lamps followed and emitted light, sweeping away the darkness inside the ruins.

"If this is the case, we'll be safe by then."

"Yes."

Will Weed had a proud look somewhere. As a representative of the fact-finding team, I may also be complacent that I did the least I could do.

Setuna and the others stepped inside the ruins, guided by such wills.

Inside the ruins, it was wrapped in cool air.

It seemed as if the blue, cooled light emitted by the Demonic Crystal lamp would further fuel such air, and Miliu grabbed Setuna's arm and wouldn't let go. Sheila complained several times about it, but Miliu is a stranger's face. Lem enjoyed the look of it, or Urk was always on guard around him.

The condition inside the ruins, though, remained so beautiful and preserved that it was not thought to have been buried in the earth for a long time. The entrance to and exit from the ruins seemed to be filled with dirt, but I could not feel any such signs from halfway through the aisle. Without the smell of dirt, I'm not dancing a dust. The wide and long aisle walls were metallic and glossy, and the feeling of touch was as cool and hard as metal. The floor and ceiling seemed to be made of the same material. It should have been buried underground for hundreds of years, but if you look where it hasn't corroded in any way, it's not just metal.

"I can't believe these ruins are in Gandia."

"Buried Civilization...... Shall we?

"Probably."

Will-Weed nods to Rem's question with no confidence.

"What's that?

Setsuna, just floated a question mark. Buried civilization - it was a word I had never even heard.

"I really don't know anything about Setsuna."

"Oh."

"Buried Civilization"

Will-Weed stopped his leg, apparently because that was the final point the investigation team had previously reached. That was the last of the demonic crystal lamps installed on the wall, and from the range within which the light of that demonic crystal lamp reached, it was closed in the dark.

"It's about a civilization that was once said to exist on this continent. Since the Great Split, its remains have been exhumed from the ground all over the continent, and because there are so many common denominators in them, they have become uniformly called" buried civilizations. "

"Heh."

"Though... this ruin seems very different"

"Isn't it?

"Yeah, we don't see a common denominator of buried civilization other than the entrance and exit columns."

"I mean, is the gatepost a buried civilization the one..."

"I will, but what do you think"

He twisted his neck.

"Even if the portal pillars were made in the era of buried civilization, the ruins themselves may be from different eras"

While Will Weed turned on the portable Demon Crystal lamp, he went.

"That's about the difference in internal structure."

"Is it a big discovery in history?"

"It's no wonder it hasn't been published and something similar has been unearthed all over the continent."

When he laughed sarcastically, he stepped out at the end of the aisle where the light of the demonic crystal lamp illuminated. Seeing it, Setuna opened her mouth.

"Let's go first."

"Oh...... right. Please."

"I'll take care of it"

Setuna said confidently, spinning the words of the armed summons quickly. When dazzling light erupts from all over your body as if it was caused even by an explosion, it converges within your right hand. A black spear emerged from the light and settled into his hands. The moment I hold the black spear, the feeling of my consciousness swelling hits Setuna. discomfort due to the expansion of the five senses and the strengthening of physical abilities. It's something I'm used to no longer, but I still find myself confused for a moment. It resembles the feeling that you are no longer yourself. If you are drunk by that feeling, you will surely lose sight of yourself. Maybe the reflux phenomenon lies ahead.

Look beyond darkness by strengthening your vision, and recognize the presence far ahead of the aisle by strengthening your hearing. The sense of smell sniffs those smells and the sensation of tremors in the atmosphere caused by the tactile movement of those. Reinforcement of the five senses by becoming a complete body and possession of an awakened black spear is unparalleled to date, and Setuna had to concentrate her whole nerve so that she would not be swayed by it. Otherwise I could be distracted by a little ambient change.

It's also the idea that the senses are too sharp.

"This is the black spear..."

"When you see the real thing, it's amazing."

Will Weed, even the sound of Jean-Jackwar breathing in the scourge of the black spear reaches Setuna's ear.

"The destructiveness is even more impressive."

"If you look at the forest of messengers, you'll see."

"So is that."

Setuna, listening on her back to Miliu laughing furiously at Will-Weed's reply, restarted her forward.

The Demonic Crystal lamp was unnecessary in Setuna's eyes with the black spear in his hand. It wasn't the dimension of the night hearing. Even in the dark, unreachable darkness of light, I can see enough to feel the brightness of day. So much for enhanced vision.

Compared to previous black spears.

The passage remains covered by metallic walls, floors and ceilings, and the main road continues. There's a straight line going from the entrance and exit to here, but that was going to be over after a while, too. I can tell from the echoes of the shoe sounds to the fact that the aisle is divided into three parts.

"There seem to be three corridors ahead."

As Setuna told the Will-Weed and the others, she received a raw reply right behind her.

"Huh?"

"Ahead...... is it?

"I don't see anything, though?

Miliu, Rem and Sheila react the same way.

"I can't see, but I can tell by the sound."

"Huh? Hey, Setuna's ear, what's going on?

"Here, here."

Setuna hastily protested, but Miliu did not stop her from pulling her ears.
