Gacto was taken by Keternes and walked along the long corridors of the castle.I just don't stop to get to my destination silently without having anything to talk about.
Where are you taking me?What is waiting for me?Such anxiety seemed to overflow my heart.
But when I was walking, I was even calm.When I followed him behind Keterness, he took me somewhere I'd seen him.
"Dungeons...."
"It's been a long time, haven't you ever been put in jail?"
"It sucked."
"That's good. This way."
Enter a dim, tight space.I've been in here once, but it's a terrible place to come back.
The smell is animal or human... a rotten and sour smell comes from all over it.The sound of one of the droplets slightly falling from the ceiling spread into the space, feeling creepy.
Walking along a corroded path leads you to a staircase that leads to the basement.
Looks like it's getting darker before this, and I'm not going to be able to walk.
Watch your step.
Keterness snapped his finger and a small fire struck his index finger.Start walking slowly through the spiral staircase that leads to the basement while treating the light like a lamp.
Even if we walk for a few minutes, we can still see the arrival point, which means it's quite deep.
I'm a little worried, but Ketterness's bright fire lights keep me sane.Lighting is important to humans, but it is true.
Even though I was walking with that in mind, I didn't feel like I'd arrive yet.
Keterness
"Forget... hah... that's enough, what?"
"I said I'd try, but where are you headed?"
"We're almost there.And we'll talk about the trial when we get to the venue.What? Did you notice the fear? "
"It's too late to be afraid."
"Yes, I have to come."
The tone of Ketterness makes me look forward to what happens next.
Something strange always happens when God is having fun.I don't want that hunch to come true again.....
"Here we go."
When I noticed it, I was cutting down the stairs.In front of me is a thick door like iron, and the emblem of the Magic Cube is engraved.
You can see that it is a very strict room.Keterness touches the thick door, and when he crushes something with a bump, the crest glows red to see if it resonates with the words.
The illuminated door opened slowly as the metal sounded.There is a fairly dark road ahead of the door.As Gact tries to walk, Keterness looks back at us.
"From here on out, you go alone.Ahshi is able to send support remotely.Let's divide our abilities now. "
That's how I put my hand on Gact's forehead.
But I tilted my neck.
"Hmm? You had this ability, too?"
"What are you talking about?"
"I wanted to give you the ability, but apparently you had the same ability.Well, for now, I'm going to test you to see if you can hear me. "
That's how Keterness closes her eyes.
Then we received a notification from Gact's system.
"New message received: 1 case"
Keterness: How do you feel?
Well, I don't know if Ketterness and the others really have a message in their heads, but can we try to use it as visual information when the system receives it instead?
I didn't know what we were doing naturally or in this world.
What do you think?
"Oh, it's here."
"This is the [transmission of ideas]. I can't believe you already have... this will allow us to have a conversation from afar.However, the range within which transmission and reception can be performed is limited.With that power, you can send and receive as far away as you want. Now go. "
Gact walks through Keterness and into the back of the room.Walk straight down a narrow road.The road is as dark as ever.
But I didn't think about stopping my feet.Everyone is working hard by now. That's why I have to walk back as soon as I can, and... to be able to defend myself more.
As he walked straight into the room, he suddenly opened it.There seems to be a fairly large ceiling, but it's not low.Because footsteps are spreading.
My eyes got used to it... when I thought about it, the torch that surrounded the room started to light.It is not the usual colour on that day.Blue fire, blue fire creeps up the room.
The room is surrounded by rugged rock walls and the ceiling is quite high.But I felt uncomfortable. You see a thick chain tied from the ceiling and you follow it with your eyes.
And with that light, I was able to silence myself about what was in front of me.My body is full of hair, but there's still something on them... blood.The big black eyes that can be seen from the long hairs stare at the gact, and the big mouth underneath opens its teeth and breathes haha.
There was a big ear on his head, a beast twice as big as a gat that crawled on all fours like a dog in front of him.There are big chains on the limbs, making a rattling noise.
"Beast?"
"Message Received"
Keterness: It's a monster that Ajishi protected a little while ago.The name is "Ice Wolf” Fenryl, and even though you can't be in the Sarti region, you destroyed the ecosystem in this region, so I thought of protecting you and making you a watchdog, but it's useless.I had trouble getting rid of it.That's why your challenge is to defeat him.
But he's not just a monster either.It's a monster so powerful that you can't even bring it here without my power.Anyway, they took a third of our strength.So you can use any means you want.Kill this guy, that's it.
"Ahhh, I forgot, the condition for failure is for you to die... that's all"
A monster who destroyed a third of the country's strength... the challenge is to defeat it alone...
How good would it have been if this had been a game?
This is undoubtedly reality, the cold air in space, the monsters in front of us, and fear, all authentic.
That's why gaming knowledge doesn't work.The only thing that works is my strength and the short experience that I have cultivated in this world.
Of course I'm nervous.But it's impossible to reach God without winning... Keterness, Liberty Moore, or confronting other gods.
Prepare yourself....
Gact puts his hand on his back ax.
Activation: [Body hardening]
Activates the ability to grab an axe with an enhanced right arm.Fenrir, who sensed the use of his abilities, raised his voice in the room and suddenly the temperature of the room dropped.
The walls around me were starting to freeze.Cold air capability!? In this cramped space!?
"Goddamn it... I have to scratch it early!!"
So the curtain of Gact's trial rose.
