Reborn Ishl and the Magic Fixture of God

Mixed with the sound of fire and the voice of the night bird, you can hear a slight splash of water from the bottom of the night darkness. Water gushed next to fallen trees at the junction of the forest, creating a small spring.

The fountain was created by the power of the water goddess Fior. The return of Leni was almost simultaneously accompanied by the springing of water from the traces of the destruction of the boundary of the Aquatic God by the possession of Phenitheosis in the flesh of the black sharp crystal.

In an instant, the water that gushed out of the spring turned into a small stream and flowed out toward the lower side of the forest, toward the street where Ishur and the others walked.

"Do you care? Ishur"

... there's something strangely sharp about refia.

While staring at the flames of the fire, the sound of the water stays close to my ears, and I really like it there.

"Fufu. I can't help it. I care too."

Mira's eyes turned a little teased.

... and she often gets distracted. Always notices and follows me.

The fallen tree and its fountain, which attacked phenytheosis and Leni appeared, are now not visible to the naked eye at night, but the place where the party operates at night is only a dozen long steps away (Skull, about 10 m).

That spring is connected to Fior's constellation of water gods. I don't feel suspicious now, but I can't let anyone care.

That's what Rifia and Mira are saying they care about.

Yeah, well...

With a modest smile, Ishur turned to Leni, who was lying behind them.

Leni is sleeping with a gentle expression wrapped in a blanket. It was illuminated by the fire, dyed orange and looked warm.

She lies down and rests on her body as soon as she briefly explains what happened after she was taken prisoner by the Moon Goddess.

According to Leni, she was almost unconscious when she was being held captive and sometimes slept all the time in a fuzzy dream.

... she was probably on parole. No, if it had been in the hands of the gods, it might have been suspicious to have kept the human form. It may have been more informatized than just the soul left behind, because there was no real existence.

The opponent is a God. Anything at all. But for some reason, it's strange that things that you can't imagine can't happen, or that you can't be sure. I don't know why I feel that way. There is no reason. Why did you do that?

"Ishl"

Leni, who was asleep, suddenly opened her eyes and said.

You're awake, Leni.

Ishur's thoughts broke down there.

Yeah, somehow.

Nh, Leni's face with a joking smile. His eyes stared at Ishle from the front.

Well, what about Leni?

"Fufu"

Both Mira and Refia stared at Leni with a pleasant face.

"How's it going?

Yeah, that's pretty good.

The returning Leni initially had dull feet and was unable to walk on her own and did not receive food or solids.

Ishur used fire magic to warm Leni's body, and Lucia and the others prepared white water followed by soup to make her drink. Then, I massaged Leni's whole body with Selia and Nokta and both of them, and loosened the hair because it was stiff.

Thank you for taking care of the Black Point Crystal.

Leni said in a small but heartfelt voice, looking at the hidden mask placed beside her.

Ah.

A split mask can no longer trigger magic, but it can be powerful evidence that you've cleared the Black Point Crystal.

A group of Knights, Mages, and Mercenaries will be dispatched from the Holy City to her hometown, Pallades, and the demon crusade will go smoothly.

"Don't worry about Nina. I don't think the water gods would do anything to harm her."

Yeah, I guess so.

"The problem was when I confronted Fior in the ruins of the Lord Temple of Water."

When Ishur nodded, Rifia said with a harsh face.

"What is the goal of the Aquarius? Are you threatening Ishur with Nina as a hostage and forcing her to obey?"

Mira and the others also believe that they can fight each other using the sword of the wind and the powerful magic of the Red Emperor's Dragon, that is, the work of God. That leads to the idea that the gods may avoid battle and play with something.

"In my opinion, maybe...."

That's it, Leni snorts her mouth.

"What?

"Yeah."

When Ishur urged him in a gentle tone, Leni nodded once, as if determined, and continued.

"If Fior summons Ishur to the temple of water, he may be about to perform some important ritual."

Leni's eyes were on top of her, but she looked seriously at Ishur.

"Sacrifice Nina."

"Mmm."

……

Refia made a small, moaning voice, but Ishur and Mira turned hard and leaned down, showing almost the same reaction.

There must have been a passage for both of us to think of what Leni said.

... Nina disappeared with Ellina, and the first thing that came to mind when she was dealing with Feniteosis was her suspicion.

"That's what I was thinking."

And Ishl turned his gaze down, and said in a low voice to the flames of fire, which flashed from time to time.

On several occasions, I felt the bitterness from the bottom of my chest when Nina was taken away.

"Ishur, I'll help you too. I will definitely rescue Nina."

"I can't help worrying about it now. If he sacrifices, he'll be safe until the ceremony begins."

"Nina will surely show up before us. That's when we fight."

Leni, Rifia, and Mira went on and said to Ishur with strength.

"Fufu, that's right. If you don't go to the main temple of water, you won't know what's going to happen."

Ishur smiled and said.

I honestly accepted Mira's desire to encourage herself. It was a powerful force that inspired the courage to confront Fior with a strong desire to rescue Nina.

"When Fior arrives, it's a fight. It's not going to be rough, but we all need your help to get Nina back."

Yeah!

All right!

"Of course."

All three nodded forcefully.

"Thank you."

Ishur nodded back and glanced at Mira.

She is a nobleman of the Holy King's kingdom with a strong faith in the cathedral. I was more likely to confront Fior, the goddess of water, and I wondered if she had quite a conflict inside, but I couldn't see such a thing from her expression.

... Mira hasn't acted with anyone in a long time. She has had several chances of seeing the gods up close, and she is no longer blind...

"Now, gentlemen. We stayed up late at night, but it's time to rest, except for the watchman."

The shadow of the maid rose from the fire next door and called out. Lucia.

"I need to put Leni-sama to bed. Tomorrow is early."

Occasionally, the little breaths of the girls overlap with the blazing sound of the fire.

The trees are cloudy. I don't hear monsters, I don't hear nightbirds.

As everyone slept, Ishur, who was on watch, carefully explored the signs of the neighborhood, and when he stood up, he walked away from the fire and stepped into the trees behind the fountain.

Deep darkness is concentrated in the small space in front of you.

And Ishur looked at the darkness, and called the Spirit of Gold in a whisper.

"Yug"

"In front of you"

I had an immediate reaction when I called my name. A pale light rose from the bottom of the darkness, and in an instant it took the shape of a man.

"Any anomalies?

"Nothing. It's a quiet night."

Hmm.

Ishur smiled moodily at a phrase of "quiet night" that didn't sound like Yug.

"Thank you for that during the day. Thank goodness."

And Ishur bowed his head and thanked the spirit of gold that floated among the trees.

“In the daytime” is the case where Yug broke the boundary of the water god of Feniteosis. Whether it was the Great Spirit with powerful magic or not, it wasn't that easy.

"No...."

However, Yug has always been more modest and his expression has not changed.

"That juncture was extraordinary, creating a temporary seat for Fior's descent. Feniteosis, who was named the samurai of the water god, also explained his boundaries. It's a special bond to welcome the Aquarius God, who can only hold himself together."

Ishur leaned his head to the side and shook one hand to continue the conversation.

"I was about to activate a special fire magic, too. Your magic was a little faster, and I never actually used it."

Excuse me, Shield.

Yug apologized for doing something useless, but his expression was as useless as ever.

"As the Spirit of Water said, that bond was powerful. I don't doubt your strength, but it's impossible to break it with semi-life magic. No matter what spirit you are, it wasn't an easy substitute to break."

Ishur smiled, but asked sharply.

"What kind of magic did you use? What was that big battle axe you had?

"That's...."

Yug was unusual, and he turned his face down when he said so.

"I have an important role to play from Lord Villard."

And he raised his face, basically, and said in a hard tone, as if he had decided something.

"I am the executioner of the golden god."

Then he turned his right hand to the sky, and the large battle axe reappeared.

Like the Spirit, the colorless translucent Battle Axe was a double-edged axe with a huge left and right symmetrical blade at the tip, longer than Hugh's height, including the pattern. The tip of the axe was sharp and pointed like a spear, and luxuriously decorated everywhere.

"Vilodo's execution....."

Ishur murmured and stared at Yug's battle axe.

... which means that Yug is the executioner and decapitator appointed by the Golden God. That glorious Battle-Axe may be regarded as a special armor and magic tool that can be disposed of even by high spirits like the Great Spirit.

If the Spirit has a special armor, you can also use special magic.

"Did the axe come from Villardo?"

"Yes, it is."

Yug wrinkled between his eyebrows and nodded heavily.

"This is called the Golden Gods Execution Tool, Croworth. I used this treasure to“ slash the water gods' boundaries. "

Well, I see.

... because it's an axe. Still neck. I'm going to chop your neck off.

Ishur remembered Sharka looking at Yug with her eyebrows frowned.

Executioners are the object of fear and disgust, whether the world changes or times change. Even if it is the surrogate of God, the absolute being. That difficult look on Sharka's face was indicative of that.

"Anyway, your treasure was incredibly powerful. Excellent, thank you."

Once again, Ishur smiled and thanked.

"I'm very curious about how you“ slashed ”it with that treasure...."

But it was an instrument given directly by the Golden God. Everyone can easily imagine how much the sharpness is.

"It would be pointless to hear more about it."

"Shield does not care about the best. Sooner or later, the time will come to show it to you."

When Ishur whispered, Yug turned his face towards the day after tomorrow.

……

Ishur also turned to the same direction.

Beyond that, beyond the darkness of the night forest, was the direction of the site of the Lord Temple of Water, the destination.

"O Yveda, I pray thee, that thou mayest give me the spirit of the wind, that thou mayest manifest it unto the world of this long."

For a while, Ishur lowered Yug and summoned another Spirit of the Wind on the spot.

... during the day, Nina said Fior's temple is just around the corner, but she's going into the woods with no decent path. It would have taken more than a few days on foot.

If you think there's still a distance, it's like this as soon as you cross the street. It is no longer the case that it is troublesome to deal with multiple spirits.

In addition to Hugh, I decided to summon the Spirit of the Wind with superior scouting and mobility. Until I meet Fior, I will temporarily call the spirits of the other elements. The opponent. If so, we must do our best. We must get Nina back.

Suddenly, unexpectedly strong winds whirled and branches rang violently into the darkness that had affected Ishur's sense of crisis. The blue magical light sparkled and the scattered leaves of the trees rose. The blue light covered the wind and went up to the tree.

It became a constant summoning of flashy spirits. When the flash that went through the forest blinked, the next moment, a human-shaped light body appeared in front of my eyes.

Medium flesh, medium back, male body shape, long hair. And he had a slender moon knife in both hands.

"By the petition of the sword of the wind, I come now."

The tied statue is a young man with a tight and tough face. The sword in both hands is like a large knife held by Assassin in the Middle East.

"Fufu, nice to meet you. I'm Ishur. Let's hear your first name."

"My name is Cesdetio Denitelstos. Say hello, Swordsman."

... uh, I see. Again. It's like the academic name of some creature in the old world.

Ishur had a slightly white face and made the usual suggestion.

Um, can I call you Seth?

"Oh, I don't mind. So..."

The horns of the fierce spirits were pulled up.

... a profound smile. You're a good militant.

As soon as Ishur smiled bitterly in his heart, he tightened himself.

This is the newly summoned Spirit of the Wind to Yug, who is an executioner under the direct command of the Golden God and has a special armor.

What I want deep down, what I'm afraid of. You should be prepared for what happens when you meet Fior.

"It's going to be a lot of trouble, so I called you. It's Fior."

"Huh? Fior?

Seth raised her hands, tilted her face, and made a frantic voice.

Kuck, that's interesting.

Her face is smiling.

"... it looks like it'll be fun."

"I'll explain everything later, but I've already summoned the Golden Spirit."

Ishur shrugged his shoulders and smiled bitterly, calling out for Yug.

Yug, meet me.

……

Seth smiled ferociously and looked silently at the deep darkness behind Ishur. The magic sparkled there for a moment, and Yug appeared.

"Hmm...."

Seth looked at Yug and narrowed his eyes slightly.

However, the expression of the Spirit of the Young Wind was not the only expression, neither insult nor hostility, and many spirits showed no unpleasant attitude to other spirits.

……

As usual, when she glanced at Seth, Yug was silent and showed no particular reaction.

Of course, there are no greetings.

Hmm.

Ishur sighed his shoulders again and exhaled small.

"There are times when we both have to fight together without fear. My orders are absolute.... you got it?

I looked around at Jug and Seth with a tight gaze. Neither of them is the type to listen to the Summoner. This place is tight, so we need to be careful.

"... I understand"

"Fufu, of course."

Yug nodded with no expression, and Seth distorted the edge of her mouth horizontally. I don't know about Yug, but Seth seemed to like the other party's Spirit of Gold unexpectedly.

... this guy knows how strong Yug is.

Ishur gripped his fists in front of his chest and slowly started talking.

"Now, let me explain what's going to happen. Yug, listen with me."

The biggest goal that hasn't told Hugo everything yet.

"From now on, I will go to the main temple of water, and meet Fior. So I rescued a wizard girl named Nina."

Ishur filled up the atmosphere and laughed at the enemy again, looking around at Jug and Seth.

"Make sure you get the water magic equipment."

I said it with a strong tone.

The next day, he left early in the morning and went deeper into the woods after the mysterious fountain created by yesterday's battle.

In the battle against Phenitheosis, Hugh's powerful magic was unleashed even outside his boundaries. We may have been noticed by the surrounding castles and fortifications of the Grand Duchy, and we had to hide behind the woods and head to the ruins of the water temple before the search reached out.

"Um, I'm sorry, Ishl."

"No, it's okay."

"But...."

"Let's walk again this afternoon."

Ishur turned his face to the side and said in a gentle voice with his gaze behind him. Leni's face is right behind her. Ishur was walking with Leni on his back.

"Suddenly I can't. Let's get used to it little by little."

Mira walking next door also talked.

"Hmm, you don't have to hurry. Lord Nina's body is strictly protected by the water gods until you arrive."

……

Ishur listened with a sarcastic smile as the leading referee looked back.

Fearing interference from the Grand Duchy, Ishur and the others left early in the morning, but something went wrong soon.

For a long time, Leni, who had been trapped by the Moon God and the Water God, could not walk for a long time because her legs were dull because she had been sleeping for that period. So Ishur carried Leni along the way, lengthening his walking time and getting used to it until he reached the temple of the water god.

... I'm sure Nina won't have to hurry as soon as I arrive.

But I can't keep this mind twitching down completely.

Ishur, don't worry about me.

Leni's voice whispered in her ear.

"I am the Wizard of the Wind. It doesn't matter if your feet are weak, because you can fight in the sky."

Together with her voice, she puts strength into her arms.

"Oh, I'm not worried."

She smiled unexpectedly and looked back and Leni also smiled.

Her concern inspired me. Her smile helped, above all else.

"Oh, well, hey."

……

Mira smiled elegantly, and Refia turned around and looked envious.

"What's wrong?

After a short break at lunch, she stopped and called out as she walked slowly to Leni, sometimes with a hand.

... there's something in the ground.

Another underground forest with tree roots stretching and complexity. For a moment I felt something groaning under my feet.

"No...."

The soles of my feet just feel like stepping on weeds and rotting soil. Sentinel Yug and Seth didn't say anything.

Hmm?

Suddenly, the space in front of me was shaken, and it was found to stretch in a straight line to the north and far away.

"The air has changed."

Something underground and above ground that feels interlocked.

"What?

When I tilted my neck, Mira asked me from behind.

"What's wrong?

"Hey."

At that time, the leading referee stopped and raised a suspicious voice.

"I wonder... Road, huh? There's something like a rubble on the ground."

"Oh, that's it!

There was something flashing.

Ishur shouted shortly before Rifia.

When the branches that blocked his eyes were removed, and he turned his back and looked forward, the gap between the trees and the branches was slightly widened, and there was a gap in the forest with increased brightness.

"... I see, it's a rug."

As he stepped in, he saw large and small pieces of machined stone scattered on the ground. The worn and chipped old stones look like rubble from the feeling of hitting the soles of the feet.

"It's mossy and pretty old."

Leni is bending over and picking up the stone shards.

"What ruins?"

I wonder if we've reached the shrine site yet.

And Mira and Rifia are talking.

Then Sharka, Lucia, and Romer stepped in.

……

Ishl stretched his spine and looked around several times.

The green hue of the branches, weeds, and mosses next to the black trunk....

This space.

It's the road.

There was something conveyed to the five senses, and nature and its words came out of my mouth.

The road leads from south to north.

A slight vegetative difference, a path that remains underground. A long time ago, there was a way through here.

The cobblestone path followed the main temple of water in a straight line.

"Road, road."

Refia looked around the grass and whispered.

It used to be a cobblestone, but I don't know if that's the way. It could have been some kind of building site.

"You mean there used to be a path here?

Mira asks Ishur.

"Yeah, I kind of get it. This place feels a little more windy than the others."

Then Leni said.

When the wind passes, the wind is good.

"Yeah, it looks like the streets used to be around here. Back in the Urk dynasty, the main temple of water in the destination was still alive."

Ulk was destroyed, and the Lord Temple of Water was also destroyed by fire. The latter did not live, and after several hundred years the surroundings were covered in the forest.

"I see. In the time of the Urk dynasty, it was no wonder the main shrine had a fine cobblestone path."

She nodded several times to see if Rifia was satisfied.

"So, there are still streets left."

"That's what happens....."

Thousands of years after the destruction of the Kingdom of Urk, is there still a part of the rubble exposed? Due to the rainy season in summer, sediment may also flow regularly.

From the Brektas mountains in the west to the Delayed River in the east, the Ronald area is roughly a gentle slope. The altitude is falling slightly from west to east. This streetwalk runs north and south, but during the rainy season rainwater flows everywhere and nothing will bury it. On the other hand, because of the dense forest topography of the trees, the soil is not suddenly eroded. As a result, the ancient rubble will remain visible on the ground. I don't have the expertise, but I can't tell....

However, what felt more unnatural was that the subtle changes in the vegetation of the trees in the area had become a thin strip that continued north-south for a long time. So I could speculate that this area scattered with old bedrock was an old street, but I have no doubt how long this slight vegetation difference will be maintained and what will be preserved for hundreds of years.

The first sign of an unknown identity in the basement...

I wonder if that was the discomfort I felt when I hit the ground that was artificially crushed and created in the past.

Is that all it takes?

"Yug, Seth"

Ishur called two spirits.

Hugh is on the side of the line, watching the surroundings, and Seth is ahead, watching and scouting around the front.

"Shield"

……

When Yug and Seth appeared semi-transparent, Ishl looked around and asked.

Mira and Refia looked up at Seth, the newly added spirits of strong wind, and Leni, who was carried by Ishur, smiled bitterly and slightly shrugged her neck. Sharka remained expressionless, and Romile and the others stiffened and shrunk slightly apart. They're all wearing martial arts magic now. The Spirit is also more visible than before.

"This is where the streets used to be. This leads to the ruins that were once the main temple of water at the destination. That should be it. Do you both feel anything?"

"As the swordsman said, this is the way humans used to come and go. The end of this road is quite far away, and it is not clear from here.... no, it looks like something's going on. This is covered up."

Seth said so, surprisingly distorting the edge of his mouth and lurking his voice.

"What do we do? I think we should stop exploring right now."

"It's Fiore's Temple. It's dangerous to inadvertently take action."

... Yug agrees with Seth, but so do I. You don't have to stretch your magic senses to the water temple ruins. The end of this old road is somehow unpleasant. Seth said it looked like it was covered in a poisonous fog. It stirs up vigilance.

... anyway, that's still good for now. The problem is this strange, narrow-like space.

"Another thing that Shield is worried about is the identity of something drifting along this ancient path....."

"It's not enough to call it magic, but I kind of feel the signs of the water god's power."

Seth pointed out that she was worried about Yug's words.

"I guess so... Something bothers me."

"That's right. I wonder if some kind of force is working on this neglectful feeling of trees."

Following Ishur, Leni agreed.

"It's unnatural, but it's best to follow this trail."

"This is what Fior wants. There's no other way."

Both Rifia and Mira said with a slightly ironic and mixed smile.

... I'm sure that Fior's message is to come through these streets, but does anyone notice any sign of the underground...?

Something I felt in the ground. It is definitely linked to the ground.

"I feel dangerous, but I can't help it. Let's follow the trail."

Ishl looked at the ground under his feet for a moment and said facing forward.

The trees fold up in the night sky, and a deep shadow covers the head.

The darkness of the forest lies in the woods. There must have been something unusual going on.

While the sun was still shining, it moved toward the ends of the trees like a cloud or a mist, and followed a small shadow.

And they stopped walking, and when they came to the end of the camp, little by little, they lurked in the darkness, and gathered themselves upon their heads, and waited for the hour in the night sky, in the shadows of the trees.

Surprisingly, those who nested in the darkness were deluded by the eyes of the Spirit. As long as they were lurking in the shadows and in the darkness, they could not be found even by the Spirit. It was an unusual, deep forest.

The first thing I noticed was Seth, who was watching the front.

When the party was ready to camp, had dinner, left watch, and fell asleep, Ishur was informed.

... swordsman, do you feel anything? Oh no. It looks like the little evil spirits are gathering around the Swordsman.

"Nh...."

In a shallow sleep, Ishur heard the voice. She had a vague, terrifying nightmare like that of a toddler.

In Seth's news, something crawled over his head, and the image of him becoming a chunk appeared obsessively.

In a moment, my eyes woke up.

... there's definitely something above your head.

Black lump. Dark monster, evil spirit. It's pretty big. It's gathered on top of a tree. It is a monster that is difficult to lurk and sense in the darkness of deep forests, caves, and ruins that people do not enter, but it is impossible for the spirits of Hughes and others to overlook this much.

"Shield, I'm sorry. I missed it. The Dark Spirit. We need to get rid of it now."

At that time, Yug's voice was heard directly in his ear.

No, wait.

... something's wrong with that move.

Ishur stopped Yug and looked up at his head in a blackish shadow.

"Nh, what's wrong?

From the shadow of the tree, a voice of Sharka was heard.

Is he asleep? I usually hardly sleep.

"Mmm."

Sharka's magic sparkles.

"Stop, don't attack. Wake Mira up."

"... ah, um..."

The maid knocker, who was watching, noticed by now and raised his confused voice.

"Nokuta, wake up the referees. Don't attack."

Ishur looked up at the evil spirit on the tree and said. Nokuta is a maid and escort with a referee.

"A lot of evil spirits have gathered....."

Is it a big lump? Is it a lump?

"It's rare. Is that what happened?"

"I've never seen anything like it."

Yug appeared behind Ishl, who had woken up.

"Oh, my God."

Hih

I heard Mira's voice and Romil's threatening voice.

"Ishur, what do we do?

Rifia raised her hips and put her hand on the handle of the sword.

"Why is this happening...."

After entering the woods of Ronney, none came out except the Spirit of Water, Phenitheosis. I didn't even notice the monster.

Ishur murmured and looked around at Mira and Rifia from Yug.

... Swordsman, let's get rid of this mess. Shall I do it?

Seth's voice in front echoed in his brain.

... no, I'll do it.

When Ishur answered in his heart, he turned his mind to the center of the gathering of countless evil spirits.

At the center of darkness, where density grows, there is nothing but nothing.

I can't believe the evil spirits are coming together.

Ishur whispered, lighting the magic of fire in the center of darkness.

…… ……

The lump of darkness suddenly sounded like a creepy scream, causing a flash to run in all directions from the center and exploded in an instant, disappearing into darkness at night.

The magic of fire penetrated all the countless evil spirits that had gathered from all directions and reached the end of the forest far away.

Ishur's perception caught the magical flash spreading like a vein.

"Excellent... but what does this mean?

Refia, who was looking up at the tree, exclaimed, but immediately turned to Ishur and asked him questions. He doesn't hide his suspicions and has a difficult face.

Mira, Leni, and Romir were all looking at Ishur.

"Obviously unnatural."

Since entering Ronney's forest, there have been no monster raids except for contact with Phenitheosis. Has the abnormal behavior of the innumerable spirits of darkness and evil spirits here revealed any kind of intervention?

"I'm sure the water gods are moving."

Leni woke up and said while setting fire.

"But does Fior use the Spirit of Darkness? Because I'm a god, there's nothing I can't do...."

Lifia answered everyone's question.

I wonder if you could use Baltar's help.

I don't know.

Ishur answered Mira tilting her neck.

I used to have a contradiction with Baljer, the god who ruled evil and evil demons. I don't think that god can easily help Fior.

"Anyway, there's no doubt that some kind of Fior power is working."

"Will evil spirits continue to gather?"

Romile says anxiously.

Celia and Nokuta also looked terrified. They have martial arts magic equipment, but physical attacks against evil spirits are not allowed. Without a magical attack like the arrow of Rifia's martial arts god, you can't protect yourself.

"Don't worry."

Ishur smiled at the romeres.

"I will also summon the Spirit of Fire."

The magic of fire is the most powerful against evil spirits. The magic of fire is also excellent for detecting evil spirits lurking in the darkness. We should call the Spirit of Fire before this happens.

When Ishur bought his first watch and went out to reassure everyone and put them to sleep, he slightly moved away from the scene and summoned the Spirit of Fire.

"O Balhel God of Fire, send unto me a mighty man of fire, that thou mayest grant me grace."

This is the first time I've called a Spirit of Fire. I changed the summoning spell a little and before I could finish, a hot light formed a humanoid statue in the space in front of me.

"This is a cup, my lord."

Semi-transparent, but somewhat yellowish, warm person said in a strangely decorative voice.

Hanging a slightly thin sword from an old armor, he has a magic wand in his right hand, or something like a chop with a big chamber.

I wonder if the name "Cup" comes from the "Cup of Fire" of the magic equipment.

"My name is Arondo Aridad Agnaguajo. Has an honorable title that means" to govern the name of all fires. "

The flaming spirit of the lofty figure graciously drew the right hand to his chest.

"That's amazing."

... I don't know if it's an honorable title or not, but I don't like being a powerful spirit.

"Um, can I call you Aron?

"Hmm, I don't care. The Cup Hall"

Aron nodded heavily.

Ishur explained the attack of the evil spirit earlier and asked for strict protection of himself and his companions.

"It's the first time I've seen a lot of evil spirits come together and merge into one. Does Aron know evil spirits do that?

"Evil spirits often gather and lurk in the darkness. But I've never heard of climbing trees and gathering in high places."

"I see....."

"It would still be about the water gods."

Aron glanced north and told him to encourage Ishur, who shrugged his shoulders.

"But don't be afraid. Leave the safety of yourself and your companions to this Around Around Aridad. Don't worry."

Ah.

Ishur nodded with a small smile.

... now there are three Summon Spirits. I don't know what's going to happen in the future...

Nothing happened after that night, but soon after the sun rose and departed, the party was once again unusual.

As soon as I went to the scattered woods of old bedrock, which used to be on the street, there was a report from the spirits.

"A herd of beasts are gathering along the road. The big ones are starting to mix."

"Outside, the little devils (covolts) are moving side-by-side, inside, a swarm of red-eyed wolves."

"Evil spirits are moving from behind."

The ancient road is surrounded by deep forests. Because of the thick walls of the trees, Ishur felt no sign of the monster, but when he knelt on the ground and hit his palm, he felt many signs of the monster. From the surrounding terrain, I could feel more reliably through the ground with the magic of the earth than with the sense of the magic of the wind.

Get rid of everything you get close to.

At first, Ishur did not think deeply and instructed Yug and the others to do so. Seth was placed forward, Hugh was placed in the middle, and Aron was placed rearward and shared.

As soon as it became cumbersome, small and large magic sparkled in the distance, and the screams and explosions of the beast began to resonate, below the riffia, especially Romir, Celia and Knocta revealed their agitation. They were also good at swordsmanship, not just servants, but when many monsters were killed instantly and countless magic continued to be activated uninterrupted, they could not help but be anxious.

That afternoon, Rifia, Mira, and Leni also stopped hiding their confusion.

"Why are so many monsters approaching?"

Well, this is probably the work of the water god.

"It's a large forest, but is there such a monster?"

"They must be coming down from the Brektas mountain system in the west."

"But to get into Lorraine's woods, you have to cross the street."

"Are the monsters attacking us? Or maybe there's something else I want to do..."

At dinner, when everyone was talking with their thoughts, Leni whispered.

The monster raid, no, the approach lasted all night after bedtime. Only once in the middle of the night, a large red-eyed wolf approached and was dealt with directly by Sharka. Ishur buried the red-eyed remains in the soil with the magic of the earth, but for a long time the smell of the beast's thick blood didn't go away.

The following day, the same situation continued after dawn, and Ishur consulted the Summoned Spirits to see if they could use the magic of sleep to stop the monsters from approaching.

... Sleep magic is weakened when used over a wide area and will not work on some monsters.

... you haven't been asleep that long, you're gonna have to buy time after all.

... I'm sick of sleeping magic. I'm sorry, Mr. Cup.

In the end, the magic of sleep was ineffective and rejected. Those approaching a certain distance attacked, threatened to retreat, drowned, or had no other way.

"I can't believe I can't escape with the magic of the Great Spirit."

"The stronger spirits will be the bigger beasts. There is no doubt that some power of the water god is working."

"Mmm...."

At the end of the line of sight, a mossy rubber stone emerges from the grass. The ancient road opens slightly between trees, and the sun shines slightly.

I was able to gaze at the path leading straight to the site of the Lord Temple of Water, but it was apparently a water god trap. In four or six hours, magic, large and small, is unleashed, and the lives of countless monsters disappear even though they are harmless beasts. If this goes on for days, everyone will die.

If you get off this ancient path, you can't really expect the monster to get close and raid.

... even if it's Fior's work, it doesn't mean that magic is actually working. What is the meaning of this psychological battle? If you want to interfere by force, it would be more effective to attack a great spirit like Phenitheosis in succession or in large numbers at once.

"Ishl"

Leni walked beside her and spoke softly.

"After all, Fior is a loving god. Maybe there's something about this kind of stuff."

"... maybe."

Ishur looked at Leni and smiled powerlessly.

She helped with this pressing situation or was able to walk all day since yesterday.

Leni's simple soft smile floats slightly.

What is Waterdeen setting up? Fior, who is said to be merciful to Jerez, the sun god, is depicted in mythology as a goddess, good or bad, and sometimes as jealous and mean as I am.

... am I being tested by her?

So did Nina. Do you have no choice but to struggle on God's palm after all?

The next morning, just before I woke up.

In his shallow sleep, Ishur noticed something in the bottom of the earth that he did not know well.

Sharpening the perception of the earth, reaching deep and deep into the bottom of the earth, he touched a small water vein running north and south.

The surrounding slope extends from the Brektas mountains. There are countless water veins in the ground, mainly heading east.

The water veins running north and south were rarely swallowed by other large water veins, did not merge, and stretched straight north.

"Mr. Ishur!

So Romil woke me up, and Ishur's quest stopped. In the midst of dream comfort, the memory was cut off.

On the third day, on that day and in the daytime, the demons of the demon beasts, the magic of the wind, fire, and gold sparkled their nerves.

... I wonder if there's any way.

Everyone walking together in the woods doesn't look so good. We have to deal with this situation.

I can't hold everyone's mind.

"What would Nina think when she saw me in this situation?"

Now, what's going on with her under Fior? Are you just letting me sleep?

... hmm?

At that time, Ishur remembered the dream he had had in the morning.

Flow of water through the bottom of the earth.

I wonder where that water vein is flowing...

Nina's smile came to mind.

Ishur stopped and looked down. Grass and soil. Exposed tree roots. Stone Fragment.

Yeah, right down there.

Fiore's water flows beneath this path.

The water vein does not flow towards the ruins of the main temple. It's flowing out of the ruins.

The forest monsters are attracted to this water vein and are walking towards the temple of Fiore.

Come with us.

... water is the source of all things. A life-saving one.

Did Fior not apply the magic of Nina to the whole forest, and show the work of his God?

So the monsters were attracted and sucked up. There must be wild birds, chipmunks, foxes and other animals outside the monsters...

"Got it!

When Ishur raised his face and screamed, it appeared.

Oi

"... that's..."

... Swordsman!

I heard Seth's voice at the same time as the riffians.

Ishur saw Mira pointing at Leni.

In front, some time, evergreen trees will grow more than the trees in the leaves, leading to the unusual path of the forest.

In the light of the dim sun, there was a tree shaking green, no man standing.

"The Spirit of the Forest...."

I heard Rifia murmuring.

The Green Spirit looks sparkly as it gathers the magic of the Unorganized.

It's not just magic.

They're sucking water out of the ground.

... we're getting water from Fior's strained veins.

The Spirit of the Forest (Ent), or should I call it Trent ─ ─, also seems to show joy with open hands.

Light, flickering, shape and color are not constant. It is constantly changing in detail and delicacy.

"The spirits of the forest are gathering monsters."

That's what Mira said and touched Ishur's right arm.

"The Spirit of the Forest is a noble Spirit who serves the Spirit God. It's not going to hurt."

Rifia took Ishur's left hand.

"Why not? The wind is gathering... Nina is ahead."

Leni pushed Ishl's back.

Nina's face, smile.... mind.

Ishur followed her several times.

Come to me.

Ishur was led by something and realized it. And he called the Spirit, and braided the earth, the work of God, to wrap the waterways of the earth in the veins of the earth.

Wind, earth, fire, gold. There is only one thing, water is not enough.

The new boundary of the “world”, which is being completed, enclosed Fiore's water vein, the path of Fior, and shut it off from the outside world.

The world of Ishur leads to the ruins of the main temple of water, the source of flowing water, the Fountain of Fior.

"Oops."

All the spirits shouted with admiration.

The spirits of the forest, whose water veins were cut off, lost their shape when they opened a large hole from the tree, and split and disappeared as they were sucked into the trees in all directions.

"Let's go."

Mira, Rifia, Leni, everyone's voices echoed, prompting Ishur.

Before the spirits of the forest disappeared, I saw a cut in the forest.

I saw a bright field.

There was a glimpse of stone pillars tangled with cypress and stone piles wrapped in greenery.

Fiore's temple appeared before the trees.
