"Here... I heard about it in the report, but it was farther than I thought."
The Sky Kings have reportedly returned, and we are on the move.
There is no doubt that there is something because all the guards have been wiped out once.
It was a well-prepared investigation.
Just in case, I'm going to let some of the best people in the land follow me.
I can deal with this if something happens.
In such a state of readiness, we were a long way from our base after being led to move.
Right now, our main location is also the epicenter of an era when this Atmos territory was occupied by barbarian giants.
I didn't see it with my own eyes, but there used to be a giant spirit stone there.
Spirit stones were so large that they were out of specification to look up and circle around.
The barbarian giants called it the great stone inhabited by the spirits of the earth.
The giant spirit stone was definitely equipped with tremendous power.
Because, according to the legend of the barbarian giants, they had the power to become giants by performing a ritual that followed a specific procedure against the giant spirit stone.
And it is known that he actually operated as a mercenary in various lands with his power.
The giant spirit stone possessed so much extraordinary power.
But it suddenly disappeared one day.
It was too huge for us to carry it home.
It was at the stage when he was planning to take out the pieces and send them to his native country, bring in experts to investigate the real thing.
And even now, the giant spirit stone was still missing.
But there is no doubt that it existed.
For many see with their own eyes.
That is why it is so important.
Even if you say you can't get the Spirit Stone anymore, you can't abandon this land.
There were quite a few who expected to find the Giant Spirit Stone again.
But nothing is missing.
No matter where you look, you won't find it.
However, if I were to search for it, it would be the place where the giant spirit stone originally existed, so I set up a base there and moved to the barracks, but was it different?
It was only surprising that the Sky Kings came in unbroken line so far from the earth.
After all, is there already a way to locate the spirit stone in some way?
If that's the case, I'd like to know.
With that in mind, I crossed some of the valleys and reached the reporting location.
"I see. There are signs of earthworks." There's a hole in the wall. "
“Yes, and there's a hole in the ground. Be careful, snow can cause you to fall unnoticed.”
"I know. So, what else have you found than a hole made of earth?" You're checking to see if there were any tools left to explore the Spirit Stone. "
“Yes, that's very strange. The only things left here are food scraps and firewood burned scraps. I didn't see any signs of geological investigation."
"Are you sure? I really don't think so, but I need to go over it again." For example, there may be a sign of a pile inserted into a rock somewhere. Whatever the leads, we need to explore all the possibilities. ”
My words distorted the faces of those around me for a moment.
Well, I don't know how you feel.
The pile marks are buried under the snow and are not visible.
It's too hard to clear all the snow from your feet and then look for traces.
Hmm.
Then let's use our strength to improve morale.
"Don't worry, if it snows, I'll melt it with my power."
Focus your nerves on your palms.
Drawing strength from the depths of his body, it gushed out from his palm, and it appeared as a purgatory flame.
The heat wave blows out of my hand and strikes the surrounding area.
Of course, I'm in control, so it won't affect the soldiers I lead.
The flame rightly melted only the snow of the land.
"Excellent work, Director."
"What? It's nothing like that." Now it will be easier to work with. We're going to have to do a full reconnaissance. Get started right away. "
Okay, got it.
My power can burn all around me with purgatory fire.
Because of this power and the high magic power, I was entrusted with this land where the royal family once came from.
He that hath seen this power shall be in awe, and he that hath seen it for the first time shall be in awe.
I don't know what the Sky King is, but no one in the historic Land of Brillia is as familiar with the magic of fire as I am.
Find out what he was here for, and I'll take all of it.
That's what I thought.
I felt a strong sway from the ground.
And the next moment, he showed up.
A large body that emerged from the ground.
A big, long, and powerful body.
Moreover, the mouth is lined with several sharp fangs.
It was a bamboo shoot.
However, it was obviously not a normal soil.
Even the impression that there were countless wounds in the body was a battle-scarred thing, and the soil was obviously too different in size from the other individuals I had seen before.
What's that supposed to mean?
I've never seen a big earthworm before.
It was like an abnormal species with such a huge body that even the giant spirit stone that existed was likely to be rounded.
It suddenly appeared from the ground and came towards me.
