Legend

As soon as Ray called the Grimm with a pair of orbs, he was fortunate to have reacted.

Ray, what's wrong?Now that my hands were free, there was nothing wrong. "

The grim on the pair of orbs was still a bony face, but still seemed to be smiling somewhere in the atmosphere we were talking about.

As a Grimm, Ray is as powerful as his esteemed successor to Zepil.

Above all, I had such feelings that I could feel with my grandchildren somewhere in order not to be scared or attacked even if I saw myself as an undead.

There's no way Ray wouldn't be happy about that.

"There's something I don't understand.That's what Grimm was all about, so I wanted to talk to him. "

Is that true, about undead?

"A little different. There was something like a magical formation or an altar related to necromancy.... in Golem's workshop. And there's a rumor in the workshop that people make golem out of materials. "

To be honest, Ray only had a bad feeling when there were rumors like that and there was a magical group here that seemed to have a necromantic relationship.

However, as for Ray, the fact is that it went in the wrong direction.

At first... I thought I was disabling and capturing bandits by some means, dismantling them and using their bodies as a material for the Golem.

However, when the necromancy becomes involved, the story becomes subtly different again.

If you're using the human body as just a material, you don't need a Necromancy Magic Team.

(Is it possible that you don't rot more than you use the human body as a material?)

Naturally, if you use a person's body as a part of a golem, it will eventually rot if you do not do something about it.

At first, I wondered if Ray was doing an alchemical treatment to avoid that, but I couldn't deny the possibility that the treatment method was necromantic.

I don't know why the alchemist chose a technique such as necromancey rather than alchemy, which should be regarded as his main skill.

Hmm? Necromancy and Golem? It's a familiar combination. "

"Really?"

When it comes to necromancy, it was Ray who thought he would know what to ask the Undead Grimm, using pairs of orbs, but he didn't think he'd get a powerful clue all of a sudden.

"Hmm. But... where did they use this technology?This is much later than it was when he was alive, but it's still a technology that was developed a long time ago. "

"That's...."

I just have a bad feeling about it.

Grimm continues to speak across the pair of orbs against Ray who said so.

That's just what I'm talking about now, as long as my expectations are correct.It's reassuring because there is a good chance that it may not be the same. "

I honestly don't know if I can believe Grimm's words.

I don't know, but it was certainly a fact that we should still consider the worst possible given the current situation.

"So, what exactly does it look like?"

Ray asks Grimm when he decides he needs to hear about it.

As Ray looks like that, Grimm sees a little confused as to whether he speaks or not... he eventually opens his mouth.

"Using necromancy has something to do with undead.Now, what exactly is undead? "

"How... to put it simply, if it's a moving body, it has to be dead, but somehow it's moving, right?Simply put, zombies and skeletons. "

"Hmm. That's not a common perception, but such undead will not exist.In that sense, I don't mind telling you a story that's not very helpful this time. "

"What do you mean?"

But perhaps the magic team and the altar have something to do with the soul of man.

"... soul?"

The words from Grimm's words were worthy of both surprising and convincing Ray.

And at the same time, Ray's prediction that he was using humans as a material overshadowed it.

"Was your soul a Golem material, not a human body?"

That's what I was expecting.And from what this altar looks like, it's not the golem itself, it's the other part... yes, it's the nucleus that holds the soul. "

The words that came out of Grimm's mouth were as expected for Ray.

And as I heard Grimm's words, I remember when I entered this building and fought against the Golems of Ilnara and the others who fought immediately.

When Ray attacked one of the Golems, he seemed to have raised his arm reflectively.

It seemed more like a Golem-programmed movement than a reflective attempt to protect one's body by hand when a human being was attacked.

Ray doesn't know if it's true.

However, if it was said that the soul still resided in the core of the Golem, it was a point that Ray could be convinced.

(Did Ilnara and the others know that?No, considering what it looks like, it's not.It showed a strong rejection in that it uses people as a material.In that case, as a possibility... no, they said that the nuclei used to make the golem were handed over by the mainstream)

Without knowing that the human soul was sealed in the nucleus, he made a golem as it was.

If you think so, Ray can be convinced.

"Can't you imitate this magical formation and the altar, or seal your soul in the core of the Golem?"

Ray is right, but if you ask me which one is more important, it's still the altar.Although it is a pair of orbs, the altar is powerful to see.You know Ray, don't you?

"If you ask me if I know or not, I know.I definitely felt something when I entered this compartment where the guy I was working with wasn't allowed in.Something got stronger by entering this room. "

Hmm, it looks like there's no mistake.So, who's more uncomfortable with the altar or the magic team or Ray?... that's what Ray said. "

Ray once again saw both the magic team and the altar.

Both of them feel... disgusting, but it was obvious when I looked at them again.

"It's the altar. I can feel something from the magic team, but it's the altar that makes me feel stronger."

I see. Ray feels sharp.There's no doubt about that.If so, the altar is still stronger in terms of importance. "

"Is it that easy to decide?"

If you try to lay it out, it's just how you normally feel.

If you ask me if that's really what Grimm said... it was still hard to be honest with me.

The Grimm across the pair of orbs nods as Ray looks puzzled.

When I think about Ray's body, it's highly likely that he's right.That being the case, the choice is not a mistake.But... it wasn't just Ray who made the last decision. "

"... okay."

Well then, is this the end of the business?Let's go back to observing the other world. "

Ray's idea of observing the other world naturally comes to mind the presence of Centaurs.

Later, there was talk of trading with Gilmore, but Ray doesn't know what's going on around here.

Basically all Ray did was tell Dusker about the other side.

Although I am somewhat interested in what happened afterwards, there is something that should take precedence over it now.

"Okay, I'll see you later."

Mm-hmm. Let me know if anything happens again.

That's it, the pair of orbs cut.

The Grimm is by nature a mighty undead.

However, the attitude of dealing with Ray makes me feel like a grandfather who treats children.

Of course, it was also significant that Ray was involved in the Zepile Gate, but it was also evidence that Ray and Grimm were doing well at the same time.

In a quiet room, Ray looks around again.

Curiously, what I felt before talking to the Grimm wasn't so strong from the magic team and the altar.

It's not like I can't feel it at all, but it's clearly weakening.

It was only a question for Ray, but I think it was because the unknown could understand what it meant.

The unknown is just fear.

But it also meant that it was not fear if it became unknown.

That's why I feel something now, but it's not that strong anymore.

(Even if we destroy the altar, should we listen to Ilnara?)

I understood the reasoning of this altar.

Though I understand, Ray decided that it would be better to dispose of it after listening to Ilnara, if possible, and went to the wall with the hole.

"Ilnara, can I talk to you for a second? I know the general situation."

Do you understand?

Ilnara also knew that Ray would listen to Master.

I was surprised to have a rare magic item called a pair of orbs, but I didn't think I could suddenly find out what the magic team and altar were capable of by consulting with Ray's master.

"Ah, Master knows everything."

Ray bragged to Ilnara with a surprising expression.

From the look on his face, it is clear that Ray is not lying.

Which means you really know what's going on here.

"So, what the hell is going on here?"

"We were mistaken in the first place.I thought you were making a golem out of people, but it's not.Of course, it wasn't wrong to use people as materials in a way, but it was a completely different way than we expected. "

Specifically?

"The magic team and the altar. According to what I showed Master over the pair of orbs, it has the effect of pulling the soul from the person placed on the altar... on one side."

Pull out your soul?

"Yes, and the pulled soul is used for the nucleus placed on the other side of the altar.I don't know whether it's specifically trapped in the nucleus or melted.Anyway, that's how souls are used for nuclei.And the Golem with its soul-earning nucleus.... "

"Has a higher performance than a typical golem"

Small and trembling, Ilnara still talks about the worst for herself and the Dolan Workshop.

That's why Dolan Workshop Golems perform better than other Golems.

And... at the next moment, you breathe like you've noticed something.

"The golem we were using... maybe..."

"I suppose that's more than the mainstream gave me the nucleus."

"But! Our Golem didn't perform as well as the mainstream Golem!"

That's why I say otherwise, Ilnara.

In contrast, Ray opens his mouth after some thought.

"I don't know much about that area either.But as long as I'm listening to you, do you think the mainstream will give you a good core? "

"That's...."

"If you're doing this kind of imitation to improve the performance of your nuclei, it's possible that the nuclei you've been given are inferior or failures."

I wonder how much I thought of Ray's words.

Ilnara shuts up with a difficult expression on her face.

In terms of circumstantial evidence, I was convinced that Ray was right.

Nevertheless, there is no doubt that there is nothing more we can do in the present situation than to convince ourselves.

It was completely unexpected to Ilnara that the material was not the human body, but the human soul.

"What am I supposed to do with this...?"

Ilnara managed to murmur at it, looking stunned.

What Ray showed to Ilnara was....

"For now, the altar is dangerous.That's why we should destroy this altar. "

It was such a suggestion.
