Gyah!!!
I'm being chased by a spider group right now!! I knew it wasn't that sweet.
A huge group of spiders chasing up, down, left, right, and left, as they are held by the Chiaran, and following the super-speed, variable, completely irregular movement.
No matter how much I liked screaming machines, there was a limit. Moreover, the screaming of daikon is sealed to not irritate the spider. Nothing fun! I'll definitely get drunk like this! Chiaran, you're drunk!
It's no longer just a panic movie scene. I mean, I actually saw a movie like that in the middle of the night. The first couple to get attacked must be a miserable couple! I have no connection at all!
Max didn't have the numbers to deal with it, so he just ran in the direction I instructed him to.
Fortunately, if it's really fast, it's better this way, but sometimes the threads fly like bullets, so I can't be alarmed at all.
"Not yet!?
"It should be soon!!
I answer Max's questions, but honestly, I don't know what's in there, just in a rough place.
When we get there, there's really no way to deal with a group of spiders.
As he progressed, the trees around him grew thicker and thicker, narrowing the gap where he could move freely.
Speaking of which, the center of the forest was densely populated with trees over a thousand years old.
It was a scattered forest during the Zachariah period, but the trees in this area were difficult to climb, so I guess it was quite a trap to set up at the top of this side.
It was a view that I always looked up at, but it was quite spectacular to pass through a lot of tall trees. Unless the monster is the one we're chasing.
Geographically, it's supposed to be around here somewhere, but what the hell is going on!? I don't know who it is, but if you call it in, pick it up with responsibility!!
The moment I cried out with a complaint in my heart, my chest felt a hint of heat suddenly.
It's the same thing that happened when we found Demetria's hidden safe in the library.
My protective stone emitted a light purple light. The light converges and plugs into the trunk of a tree like a laser beam.
The part that received the light of the tree emitted the same radiance as the light of the guardian stone in a circle of about 1 meter.
"Jump into that light!!
"Hmm!?
On my instructions, the two people who were surprised instantly decided to prepare themselves.
Yeah, it looks like it's colliding with a tree, and I'm pretty scared, to be honest.
But go!!
The force is applied to Chiaran's clinging arm. With great momentum, he meditated reflexively on the tree that approached him.
The moment you enter, the silence.
Open your fearful eyes. A white space that clearly exceeds the volume of the tree, as you can see at a glance if it is not in the tree.
It was very similar to the place Cassandra used to call. It may not be a good place to stay too long.
"Maximilian!?
Chiaran's surprised voice shouted at me, and I screamed.
"Max!?
Max had completely stopped moving. Immediately after jumping in, it was as if it had become a stone statue.
Chiaran held me in a hurry.
"Chiaran!?
Wait, I don't know what happens when I leave you now.
Watch your surroundings as you put your strength into my arms.
"Eh...? --Oh, I see....."
On the contrary, I had one thing in mind about this situation.
If this is the same space as Cassandra's location or Demetria's hidden safe, it could mean that the flow of time is close to stopping.
"From what I've seen, it doesn't seem any stranger than it's stopped...."
I feel a little relieved by Chiaran's words.
Max would be back if he got out of here.
I don't know if Chiaran is safe because of the special blood of the royal family, because my protective stones protect me together, or for any other reason. But now I can't afford to experiment far away.
Above all, if you're stopped here by Chiaran, you're too careful.
I decided to let Chiaran hold it.
Gladys, look at that.
Chiaran, who was observing the surroundings carefully, drew attention to objects falling on the ground.
A red spherical stone like a ruby was rolling.
Pull the protective stone out of my chest.
"It looks like the same thing with different colors."
Chiaran, who still holds me, looks at the stone and gives his thoughts.
"But the presence is different."
That's my impression.
Other than color, shapes and sizes do appear to be the same.
However, even though my protective stone is unnaturally shaded, the red stone seems to be emitting a sense of presence in the space.
I feel the overwhelming power of being taken out of this time-stopped space and worried about what might happen. Because the space was full of pressure, until Chiaran told me, I didn't realize the opposite.
Chiaran walked close and crouched so that I could reach him.
I reach out and touch it with my frightened fingertips. Hotter than my protective stone.
This is what he called me. You've been waiting for me in this time-stopped space?
At the same time as I was convinced, I made up my mind and grasped it in my palm.
At that moment, along with the blast of light, it was thrown out of the white space.
"Wow, what!?
While relieved to hear Max's impatient voice, at the root of the tree we noticed a situation completely surrounded by spiders.
"Damn it!!
Immediately stop Max from accumulating magic for his defenses, even if he can't expect much.
"It's okay, Max. I found out what to do. And how to do it."
I grabbed a red stone that emitted heat with my palm.
I understood the moment I grabbed it. Because a part of the prophecy that was sleeping compressed inside of me blended naturally out into me.
My first job as a great prophet.
This red protective stone has been waiting for me in that space for 600 years.
The original owner entrusted to me was Galatea, the first great prophet of statehood.
