“Rrrrgh!”
The Canyon, hit by the fist of the Rumbanium, only stops after rolling the fallen debris a few times, flying a few hundred meters away from its massive size.
I can't believe I did this with just one punch.
I looked at the Canyon, which was shivering all over while the room was lying on the ground, and turned my gaze to the Baryan Elder who was watching calmly from one side.
“Elder Baryan, I think I'll die if I hit again because I've already weakened." ”
“Hmm, I was hoping I'd never seen an ancient monster before. I can't help it. ”
The baryan nods at Lumbanium and raises his hand. His body rises to the sky and quickly moves toward the Canien's collapse.
“Khh...! If only I had the strength...! If it wasn't for that worm!! ”
The Baryan comes close, but he shouts indignantly as if he didn't know about it. He blocks his ears with both hands, then slowly moves toward the face of the Carien.
“Ancient monster, what's your name? We can't keep calling them ancient monsters. ”
“Khhh... Are you a wizard? I sense a lot of Mana in you. Mana that no man could dare claim.... ”
Kanien, who raised his head and confirmed the Barians, replies with a faint voice as if he had resigned.
It seemed to him that both the Rumbanium and the Wizard were monsters. Lumvanium doesn't radiate power externally, but has a power you can't dare touch. And unlike him, this wizard squeezes out a vast amount of mana and compresses his energy.
It was natural that his fate was decided the moment he met Rumbanium in the first place. I just didn't want to admit it.
“Yes, I am a wizard. Now will you tell me my answer? ”
“Joo, kill... I don't want to live with myself anymore. ”
“Ha... I won't tell you easily either. Then let's do a little hard work. ”
As soon as he closes his eyes as if to kill them, the baryan raises one hand toward the corners of his head, and the white air flows out from the center of his head and starts clumping toward the baryan's outstretched hands.
“Ugh! What the hell is he doing?! Rrrrgh!”
Kanien opens his eyes and screams in agony.
“Just... just a moment. Yeah, that's right. ”
“Khh……. ”
Kuang!
After a short while, the white air currents clump together at the size of a human head, and the air flow stops coming out, and Kanien knocks his head to the ground unconscious.
“Elder Baryan, are you trying to read his memory? ”
As the room vanium approaches, the baryan sends out a stream of air in his hand and nods.
“We have to. We have to find out how he was alive and who did this. ”
“Hmmm... I heard you're overworked. Are you okay? ”
“It hurts me more that I don't know what I'm curious about. ”
“Huh... I knew you were a wizard... Take care of yourself. ”
“Then please take care of him. I'll see how things go. ”
“... It's my turn to bother again. ”
As if he didn't like the request of the Baryan, he pulled out his sword and shoved a white stream into his head without hesitation, smiling.
“Grrrgh!"
It's painful when the air flow is completely absorbed.
The memory of the Kanien in the white airflow flows into the head of the Baryan and causes unbearable mental pain for the layman.
Being a highly trained high magician, it can withstand a single tear.
For a long time, the baryan who was closing his eyes opened his eyes after 10 minutes while the rumbanium completely dealt with the canien.
“Phew... ”
The first thing Baryan saw while sighing was a relaxed look on the ruins of Canyon that had been smashed to powder.
“Yes, Elder Baryan, who did this to him? ”
“… I don't know. ”
I frowned and answered Rumbanium's question as if it were a bit strange.
“Hmm? You saw his memory, didn't you? ”
“That's right... I don't know what to say... I've been having trouble remembering this guy lately. The last remaining partial memory is to arrive at the Rumbanium and kill the knights... They couldn't have done this to him. ”
“Huh... So this is the work of the man who did this." ”
“… I guess. ”
Baryan reads through all of Kanien's memories, but he can't find any memories of Kaiyan. To be precise, all the recent memories were already in pieces.
“Then how did you find out how he got here 200 years ago? ”
“Oh, thank God I found it. Turns out it was Marcaine Gulian. I would have dealt with this 50 years ago if I'd known. ”
The name of the rich man who risked his life in the Castle of Cainan and Babylon came out from the mouth of the Baryan Elder, and he opened his mouth as if he had remembered for a moment what he had said.
“Marcaine... you mean the Black Wizard? How long ago did he disappear? ”
“Yes, that's right. According to his memory, three monsters who survived 200 years ago live in their homes. They met Marcaine 50 years ago and were captured by him. Well, as a Black Wizard, ancient monsters are good energy. ”
“So Marcaine died and set them free. And then I came back to Room Vanium to find the power I sealed. But... how did they get here across the border of the Human Kingdom? ”
The Baryan sighs and opens his mouth, tilting his head as if he didn't understand.
“Phew... Now it's a very different world than it used to be. Other than monster waves, it's quite peaceful. ”
“What does it matter? ”
“It does matter. Will those who don't know anything about the ancient monsters keep their eyes open?" It's a formal boundary, but it's not as difficult as it used to be. ”
Like they said, the three ancient monsters who had been the source of Marcaine's energy for 50 years were set free in the Castle of Babylon when Kaian defeated Marcaine, and those who gained their freedom stumbled across the border easily when they encountered the Barnson Mercenaries when they were looking for an opportunity to regain their sealed power.
“... This is ridiculous. Humans have grown weaker than in the past. ”
“I can't say that.... You know, the organization manipulated the history of the United Nations. ”
As if I didn't like what the Baryan said, the room barium spit.
“Hmmm... The commander's instructions make no difference. ”
“I'm not saying anything. Better yet, let's get back to work. I have to go and report it. I have a lot of work to do. ”
“Can I go on like this? I thought we were supposed to cover our tracks. ”
“It's all right. Elder Hoen will take care of you and the rest of the surviving humans." ”
“Tsk, my miserable life is in vain. Then let's go back. ”
“Ugh...! My head..."
Ugh... My head hurts so much!]
“… Are we alive? ”
About five minutes after I fell into the sewers, I suddenly felt a tremendous shock and lost my mind at the same time.
[I think... I think so, right?]
“Whew, where is this place? How did we survive?" You're fine. ”
The depth of the Abyss was endlessly deep, with a minimum of a few kilometers. But even though I woke up unconscious in the middle, there was nothing wrong with my body.
Given the falling speed, even if you hit a soft floor, it is the minimum death. Plus, the ground that you feel through your palms is cold and hard. You fell at that rate on the floor and there's nothing wrong with that?
I turned around and stopped looking at the ceiling to understand the situation.
“… Liekah, I think we've come to a strange place. ”
What do you mean?]
“Look at the ceiling. ”
[Yes? The ceiling... What's with the ceiling?]
It's weird that I fell in the Abyss and my body was safe, but I wonder why there's a ceiling above my head.
If it falls straight down, of course the sky should be visible above your head.
“H-what the hell is going on... Wait a minute, then, where does this light come from? ”
The moment I looked up in a daze, I realized that there was light coming out from somewhere with no discomfort in my vision.
[Kaiyan! I think it's that way! There's light coming from that way!]
Looking at where Rieka pointed with her front foot, a bright light was emanating from a place that really looked like a small crevice in the cave.
“… let's get closer. ”
When I got up from my seat and looked at the crevice in which the light was emitted, I saw that it was a crystal like object emitting light.
“Amazing. Liekah, do you know anything about this... crystal? ”
[No, I've never seen anything like it! I don't sell this stuff at the store!]
“Really? Hmm... Let's take this off first, shall we? I think it would be a good place to wander around with just one of these. I need to know what this place is like. ”
In fact, if it was not completely blocked by high agility, some vision could be secured. Plus, you can buy shiny eyefacts from the store. But...
[Yes! I don't think this one has an owner! Take it to the Lucuba Merchant Guild later and use it to sell great items!]
I also think about it even if I don't have to say it because I've been with you for a while. What a bizarre cat.
You feel a warm energy, unlike the cold stone floor, as you stroke Rieka's head once and reach through the crack in her right hand to grab the crystal.
“Light and warmth? Awesome. ”
Tighten and pull the crystal in your right hand.
Kudeuk!
Whether the crystal was larger in the gap than expected, the surrounding wall cracks open, scattering the dust, and a huge crystal emerges from the cracked wall.
[Queek, queek! Big crystal, huh?]
“Hmmm! That's bigger than I thought. It's not going to collapse, is it? ”
Half the size of a crystal drawn is the size of a human head.
When I first saw the gap, I thought only my hands were the size of the hidden crystals. Expect it and give your right hand a stronger hold of the crystal.
Quadruple!
Cough!
The ceiling and walls thunder, and the stone dust is smoked. The crystal, which lingers for a moment, is shy and uprooted.
“Wow... that looks like a huge artifact. ”
[Amazing! I can't feel Mana in the crystals, but there's a flash of light.]
With the crystal completely drawn, the dim surroundings are illuminated.
Let's take a look around and see that the surrounding wall was as dull as a cave, and my space was blocked everywhere except in one direction.
“Let's go over there first. We need to find out what he did. ”
It reminds me of what Kanien said when he fell in the sewers. Half Mime.
Obviously, he told me that I wouldn't make it back from Havmime alive. If he talks confidently enough, it's definitely not a normal place to see him send me here after dropping his tentacles as a weapon.
‘We need to figure out what the Half Mime is, how to get back. ’
