“Will you come in?”

Ronan said. For some reason, I didn’t feel very good. He finally couldn’t hear Elthea’s answer and walked down the stairs.

The moment I stepped on the first step, the door began to close by itself. Sita, surprised to hear the sound of the wind falling, threw her head back.

“Bwait?!”

“I’m keeping it well. “If it’s too cold, you can go down south and wait.”

Ronan glanced back and waved his hand. It was so big compared to the size of the doorway that we couldn’t get in together.

“Pyeolba!”

“okay. “Let’s go.”

Sita laughed heartily as if asking what she was so worried about. Unlike the first time she shivered from the cold, she seemed to have adapted to it. Ronan, who had put her mind at ease, took a step forward.

I felt it last time too, but the stairs were really deep. To the point where I wondered if I would go to a place where lava flows.

Strange-shaped lanterns were lined up in a row, casting light from the ceiling of the hallway extending from the end of the stairs.

‘It’s such an amazing place to see again.’

It was said that the light source, which looked like pieces of the sun had been glued together, was made of a material called a light emitting diode or something. Did you say that it is a relic created during a time when mankind was blooming with the most brilliant civilization? I really thought it was worth it.

However, there was no time to get lost in sentimentality, so Ronan moved forward diligently. Last time she came, I was able to get a general idea of ​​her structure so I didn’t get lost. When he finally reached the savior’s room, he cursed.

“···f*ck. “I don’t know the password here.”

The iron door of the room where the savior was fighting was firmly closed. Attached to the side of the door was an iron plate that looked a little more complicated than what was seen at the entrance to the ruins.

‘f*cked.’

If you had seen it even once, you would have remembered it. However, she couldn’t see some of her numbers because they were covered by El Sia’s shoulder. Judging by the amount of beeping noises, it seemed to be around thirty.

“Where on earth has this woman gone?”

It was a disaster. Ronan placed his hand on the hilt of his sword. The thought of just cutting down the door began to creep in.

The one-year probation that was almost over was making him impatient. Even after coming this far, there was still no sign of Elthea, and Abel’s blood was in his inner pocket.

The last time Ronan came, he saw Elthea attempting to heal the Savior with her own blood. Although she was overly unfoundedly confident, it seemed like she could do something just like that.

The method would be similar, but wouldn’t it work somehow? It was the car he was thinking about while tapping the hilt of his sword.

-Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa her her any her her?

“Nimi, I’m surprised.”

Suddenly, a loud explosion sounded from the ceiling. The hallway shook slightly and dust from the ceiling fell.

“what?”

Ronan frowned. It was a pretty big explosion. The scale of the shock could be guessed just by the fact that it had reached this point.

The deep location was a good location, but wasn’t it a structure that was originally installed to protect the seed or something from external threats?

‘It’s not a volcano.’

It was unusual. First of all, it didn’t seem like a natural explosion. Ronan’s thighs, strengthened by mana, swelled to the point of bursting. bang! After assessing the location of the explosion center, he ran out into the hallway.

bang! bang! Every time I hit the ground, the surrounding scenery changed quickly. The hallway was long and wide, but thanks to strengthening my leg strength with mana, it didn’t take long to reach my destination.

‘Here it is.’

Ronan stopped. I could feel mana pulsating across the ceiling.

The mana with the same wavelength felt in the explosion contained a sparkle unique to Nebula Clage. It wasn’t Elthea’s. There was also a faint noise coming from many people, as if they were fighting.

“What kind of nonsense are you doing again?”

Ronan growled. I don’t know the details, but it seemed like those bastards were running amok. Same thing with Barka, would you want to come to the end of the continent and do this?

Fortunately, it was close to the ground, so I felt like I could try something. Ronan pulled at the hilt of his sword. La Mancha’s sword body, already stained crimson, appeared.

A little while ago, I was worried that it would lose its function as a hiding place, but when I thought about it again, all I had to do was fix a few things.

****

“Surrender, traitor!”

cried Archbishop Passagarde. Mana was swirling violently and gathering in his grasp. He was engaged in a large-scale battle in the middle of the frozen sea.

Traces of his magic were scattered all over the snowy field. The deep and wide pit looked exactly like the spot where a star had fallen. The believers who had come all the way to the Sea of ​​Ghosts were chanting defensive spells next to Pasagaarde.

“Go away, you beasts!”

“Kuheuung!”

It was to replace the archbishop who only focused on attack. More than a hundred translucent beasts surrounded the defense shield and were attacking. Every time the low- and mid-level spirits swung their claws, a little crack was forming on the shield.

“Trust the Archbishop and hold on!”

“Don’t back down!”

But there was no trace of worry on the faces of the believers. It was because he believed in the archbishop’s abilities.

Pasagarde placed his left hand on the ground as if he wanted to repay that trust. Kwaaaaang! An explosion occurred around the shield, and the spirits were instantly extinguished. He shouted again.

“If you don’t surrender right away, I’ll give you one more shot. Bow your head now!”

An angry cry echoed across the snowy field. Elthea did not answer. She stood right next to the pit created by her magic, her off-white hair flowing.

“···It’s difficult.”

Elthea muttered. The situation was getting worse. But she couldn’t back down, so she quietly chanted her spell.

A red magic circle was drawn behind Elthea, and a red land turtle slowly walked out. Its huge size, reaching 3 meters in height, was impressive. She said.

“please. Bayardo.”

“Hwaaaam…”

It was Bayardo, a high-ranking fire spirit. Bayardo, who was blocking Elthea’s path and blinking, opened his mouth. Quaaaaaaa!! Flames rippling deep inside the giant throat poured out toward Pasagarde.

“What a pointless thing!”

Pasagarde shouted. He amplified the magic within his body and stretched out his hand towards El Sia. It seemed like the space around her narrowed to a single point, and then she exploded.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! A merciless roar shook the frozen sea. Where the north wind blew away the smoke, Elthea was revealed. Bayardo, who had suffered damage exceeding the limit, was reverse-summoned and disappeared.

“Cough, call…!”

“ha ha ha! It’s ridiculous. “A traitor who turned his back on the church survives on our strength!”

Pasagarde burst into laughter. A force field shimmering with bizarre colors surrounded Elthea. It was the star’s blessing that I received directly from the savior in the past.

‘It’s really dangerous.’

She chewed her lower lip. She never thought she would reach the high-ranking spirit in one go. Even if the opponent was a wizard who had even served as the tower owner of the Dawn Magic Tower in the past, there was no way he would be pushed to this level.

I was not in good physical condition because I had stayed up all night studying for almost 15 days. There was not enough mana to call Hiran, and the spirits, who were somewhat weakened, could not use their power properly.

The surprise attack at the beginning of the war was also fatal. Caught in the first explosion, her clothes were tattered and fluttering about.

surrender. Surrender. Elthea, who was repeating those words, looked back at Pasagarde for the first time. She opened her mouth.

“I refuse.”

“under!”

Pasagarde snorted after seeing Elthea chanting the spell again. Still, he tried to give me preferential treatment since he was my old boss, but it seemed like he was not good at negotiating.

“Are you coming? If that’s the case, I’ll blow you away without a trace!”

It was actually a good thing. A dirty traitor like that deserved to turn to dust and disappear. He was about to chant a special explosive magic spell again. Sigh! Suddenly, a red light flashed at my feet.

“Ugh, what is it?”

It felt like something passed quickly before my eyes. It was the moment when he opened his eyes that he had closed without realizing it. His severed left arm caught his eye.

“···uh?”

Pasagarde’s eyes widened. He had a hard time grasping what had happened. The mana that had gathered around his left hand was dispersing helplessly.

“What is this…”’

“Great, Archbishop!”

The believers burst out in bewilderment. The blood gushing from the cut surface was soaking the snowy field. Did Elthea do it? She obviously used defensive magic?

A burning pain was coming. He was about to scream when he realized the reality. Wow! Once again, a red light flashed at my feet, and something sharp passed through my neck. Passagarde’s body and head were separated.

“······!”

There was no will. Only then did some believers notice something rising from the ground and raised their heads. Two red crescent moons were flying across the distant sky.

“Um, is that?!”

They soon realized that the crescent moon was actually black energy. The panicked believers were wondering whether they should pay more attention to the archbishop with his head cut off or the attack by an unknown enemy. bang! bang!! Seven pieces of sword energy, identical to those from before, soared through the ground.

“Kwaaaaak…!”

“Huh!”

A total of nine red crescent moons shot into the night sky. Severed bodies danced in the air. The giant sword, each measuring 5 meters in width, cut down everything in its path.

“···Yes?”

Elthea’s eyes narrowed. She hadn’t done anything yet. Even if she had chanted the spell, she would have been one step too late.

Rumbling…! The ice floor was collapsing. A shadow rose above the collapsing ground. The young man narrowed his eyes as he saw the devastation beneath his feet.

“eww. dirty.”

It was like a spilled sauce. It is true that I fired the sword in anticipation of what was on top, but there was more of it and it was cut into smaller pieces than I expected. Elthea’s eyes widened when she saw the young man’s face.

“···Ronan?”

“What is it, Elthea?”

Ronan raised his eyebrows. There she was, the woman she had searched for so long but could not find. fault! He landed in front of Elthea, ignoring the screaming believers. Ronan tilted her head.

“What happened?”

“…I just want to ask you something.”

Elthea was still staring at him, dumbfounded. It seemed like he was confused as to whether this was a dream or reality. Ronan reached out her hand and brushed away Elthea’s tangled hair.

“Bwaaaaa-!!”

Suddenly, a familiar crying sound rang out from above my head. Ronan lifted his head and laughed. Sita was flying, flapping her four wings.

“It will come quickly.”

Ronan laughed. The miscreants could have been left to Sita. Now that I think about it, there doesn’t seem to be anyone particularly strong, so I was wondering who caused the explosion.

‘I don’t think Elthea did it.’

It was a situation where I had many questions. But what Ronan had to do now was decided. He said to El Sia after wiping the blood from her face.

“I don’t know what it is, but let’s deal with it quickly. “I’m in a bit of a hurry.”

“I think I need to explain what’s going on.”

“There is no need to talk at length. Now, take it.”

Ronan was rummaging through his inner pocket and took out something. The small bottle was laden with protective magic. Inside the transparent glass, a slightly purple liquid was flowing.

“no way.”

For a moment, Elthea’s face hardened. It didn’t take long to figure out what the liquid was.

His breathing, which had not been impaired even during the battle with Pasa Garde, was becoming heavier. Her mouth opened quietly.

“······You really saved me. you.”
