(One)
One.
“That’s it… … .”
“It’s an abyss that I only heard about.”
Ian and Laurea’s faces hardened.
It’s not just the two of them. Ibella’s complexion also darkened. For her too, this was her first time seeing the gap in her abyss.
It was then.
“Never look inside.”
“that’s right. “The abyss is talking and walking.”
Noah and Delia gave a warning.
This is because the two of them have desperately experienced what happens when they look beyond the abyss.
Fortunately, the three never looked beyond the abyss. Meanwhile, the party busily searched the surroundings to accomplish their original purpose.
Some time after that.
The group found the item they wanted.
A pitch-black pendant placed in the center of the magic circle. It was an offering that caused abyssal erosion.
“Then let’s start purifying.”
Laurea kneeling down.
She clasped her hands together politely and quietly closed her eyes. Then, just before she said her prayers, she looked back at her uhlan with a nervous look on her face.
“Please escort me in the meantime.”
“Leave it to me.”
Ulan answered briefly.
Then did things regain stability?
Laurea began to recite a prayer of purification in a calm tone. As pure white light enveloped the pendant, its color gradually became lighter.
“By the way.”
Suddenly, Ian pursed his lips.
As if he had any questions.
“Even if we can eliminate the abyssal erosion with this, how can we close that?”
What he pointed to was a chasm in the abyss.
This was a valid question.
Although we had already received many reports that the abyss had opened, there was no information on how to close it.
“Well, you have to wait until it closes.”
“Hey, that’s a joke too.”
“Did you see that I was joking?”
“… … “Are you really serious?”
“huh.”
Delia nodded repeatedly.
Ian’s complexion turned pale.
That’s the same thing as saying that you have to wait here and fight monsters until the abyss closes.
Then at that moment.
A voice of hope was heard.
“That’s true in the first place, but I think it can be easily resolved this time.”
It was Noah’s voice.
Upon hearing that there was a solution, Delia and Ulan all turned to look at her.
“huh? how?”
“Is there a solution?”
“Yes, that’s because the fuel that maintains the abyss remains intact there.”
What maintains the abyss is a magic circle.
And what supplies magic power to the magic circle are the highest-grade magic stones placed nearby. So, if you remove the magic stone, the gap in the abyss will also disappear.
Immediately after understanding what Noah meant.
Ulan asked, holding on to the axe.
“Should I break it?”
“no! never.”
Noah was shocked and answered.
“If you break the magic stone, the magic scattered in the air will be completely absorbed into the magic circle.”
“So, in this case, you have to use a method that burns or absorbs magical power.”
It’s really tricky.
Ulan frowned.
However, when I thought carefully about Delia’s answer, I quickly saw a breakthrough.
“If it means absorbing magical power… … .”
Then, suddenly, my eyes met the white wolf.
Even though I didn’t ask him to, he’s already sticking out his tongue and flicking the magic stone. Just by looking at him, he appears to be absorbing magical energy.
The moment I saw this scene.
“… … Are you sure it’s for that?”
You didn’t lead us here, did you?
Ulan’s eyes seemed to ask that question. White Lang did not respond, but Ulan’s guess was actually close to the correct answer.
[Grunting?]
The evidence is that they avoid eye contact and look the other way.
However, the tongue licking the magic stone shows no signs of stopping. There was a time when I twitched my eyebrows thinking that I had somehow been taken advantage of.

“Anyway, this solves it.”
“that’s right. “If I had tried to burn magical power separately, it would have taken a long time, but I’m glad.”
Delia and Noah were relieved.
Looking at the speed at which the white wolf absorbed magical power, it seemed like it would be over in thirty minutes at the most.
However, it is still too early to be reassured.
“… … ! “They come out again!”
With Ian’s urgent cry.
From the crack of the abyss, the swamp’s family poured out.
The number is three to four times greater than before.
However, there was no need to panic. Because we have more than enough power to fight them.
“Gather around Laurea!”
Delia, Noah, and even Laurea.
With the three in the center of the formation, Ulan, Ian, and Ibella stood shoulder to shoulder.
From now on, it’s a battle of how long you can endure.
The goal is to hold on until the prayer of purification is over, and even until the gap in the abyss closes.
Around the time of the second battle.
Laurea let out the breath she had been holding.
“… … Phew.”
Beads of sweat formed on my forehead.
Soon she opened her closed eyes.
It means the prayer is over. As evidence, the black pendant had turned into powder and was flying around.
‘Now that the purification is over… … .’
I must join the battle.
Laurea decided that way.
But at that moment, something strange happened.
‘uh?’
My body didn’t move.
To be exact, it feels like your feet are stuck on the floor.
It felt as if she had fallen into a swamp, and the ground surrounding her had truly become like a swamp.
What kind of situation is this?
Laurea looked at the floor in surprise.
At that time, a voice like gnawing metal was suddenly heard from beyond the blackened floor.
【―I finally found it.】
With a voice that gives you goosebumps.
Laurea looked at the scenery beyond the floor.
“… … !”
For a moment, I thought my heart stopped.
What is reflected in the projection is empty darkness. It is truly an abyss of a bottomless pit where you cannot even see the bottom.
A darkness so deep, heavy, and profound that it takes your breath away just by looking at it.
The moment when my whole body became stiff.
A voice spoke to me.
【Agent of the Holy Ghost.】
【Never this time】
【You can’t run away.】
As soon as the sticky voice finished.
Suddenly the ground sank downwards.
At the same time, Laurea’s body sank deep into the water.
‘Someone… … !’
I wanted to shout for help, but no voice came out. The swamp had already reached her head, and her body had completely sunk.
Then at that moment.
The group noticed something strange.
“Stop, senior!”
“Laurea?!”
Led by Ian, Ibella, Delia, and Noah also noticed Laurea’s situation.
And then I was immediately startled.
“Uh, why is there a gap in the abyss… … !”
The abyss that had just opened in the middle of the sky had suddenly moved to the floor.
In other words, falling into a swamp means being dragged beyond the abyss. Immediately after realizing this, Ian urgently stretched out his hand.
But that was all.
“… … !?”
Swamp beyond the bottom.
The moment he faced the abyss, Ian’s body became as stiff as a piece of wood.
That’s not all.
Ibella, Delia, and even Noah reflexively looked at the floor and their bodies froze.
Meanwhile, around that time.
Laurea was completely swallowed by the abyss.
To make matters worse, the abyss began to slowly close. This was probably a phenomenon that occurred when the magic power that made up the magic circle was depleted.
But at that moment.
Whoa!
A black shadow squeezed through the gap that was about to close and jumped into the abyss.
Red-brown hair blowing in the wind.
A hero’s imprint on his back.
It was Ulan.
“… … !?”
All while receiving a look of astonishment.
Ulan disappeared beyond the abyss.
Some time after that.
Couuuuuuuuuck!
The gap in the abyss was completely closed.
2.
Some time later, after the gap in the abyss closed.
The hall was enveloped in a quiet atmosphere.
However, the silence did not last long.
“Uh, uh… … .”
Ulan, and Laurea.
As soon as they realized that the presence of the two who had just disappeared had completely disappeared, a desperate reality immediately struck the group.
“Sir, senior, saint… … .”
Among them, Ian seemed to be in quite a shock.
That would be natural. Because she could do nothing and just watch as Laurea was swallowed by the abyss.
He wasn’t the only one in panic.
Ibella also looked at the place where Ulan had disappeared with a devastated face. As if he was so shocked that he forgot what to say.
At that time everyone was in shock.
[Kaaaaaaaa!]
A shout was heard that shook the hall.
It is none other than the voice of a white wolf.
With a last, sobering cry, the white wolf turned into fog and disappeared. Afterwards, the shocked group came to their senses one by one.
“Everyone, come to your senses.”
“As it is, nothing can be resolved.”
The first to recover were Noah and Delia.
Because the two had the experience of facing the chasm of the abyss, they accepted reality relatively sooner than Ian and Ybella.
And although it was a bit harsh, the two girls’ words were correct. Even if we remain in shock like this, the two who disappeared will not come back.
What I need to do right now is to think of a way to save Ulan and Laurea, who have disappeared beyond the abyss.
Ibella, who regained her senses, proposed the first realistic solution she could think of.
“Let’s go out and ask the professors for help. Then there is definitely a way… … .”
“That’s not allowed.”
But at that moment.
Delia shook her head.
“Then it’s late.”
“But we can’t solve it on our own… … .”
“In the first place, do you think Deflin can trust the professors, considering they are Abyss worshipers?”
Ibella quickly closed her mouth.
Because it was a reasonable rebuttal.
The situation is back to the starting point of the road. It was around the time when Ibella and Delia’s complexions turned dark.
Suddenly Ian looked at Noah.
“Is there any way to open a gap inside the abyss and get out?”
“No, that’s impossible.”
Noah shook his head.
Until the door to the abyss opens later, there has never been a time when a gap was opened from the side of the abyss first.
This is the same in the original work.
“That means… … .”
“It means that the only way to save them is to open the abyss from the outside.”
Just like Deflin did.
After Noah finished answering, Ian’s complexion darkened again. She looked like she had had a glimmer of hope and then lost it.
Then.
Delia spoke.
“Then, if we open it, it’s okay.”
“What?”
“Yes, of course it is a chasm of the abyss.”
Delia makes a huge statement with a casual expression. After she finished speaking, Ian asked back with a bright smile on his face.
“Ho, is there any way?”
“there is. “You just need to analyze and reproduce the magic used in that magic circle.”
Of course it will take some time.
Still, it was theoretically possible.
Fortunately, despite the misfortune, the magic circle was barely damaged. After completing her judgment, Delia immediately examined the magic circle carefully.
And I quickly despaired.
“Ugh, to activate this… … .”
“As expected, a top-grade magic stone is needed.”
There are as many as six of them.
Noah, who was examining the magic circle’s technique with Delia, also frowned.
Because the highest quality magic stone was a very difficult material to obtain. At least you have to be at least the archmage Deflin to find a way to save him.
In other words, it is currently impossible to even restore the magic circle. It was a time when everyone faced with realistic problems was in despair.
[Grunt!]
The white tiger that had disappeared earlier suddenly appeared. With a luxurious-looking leather bag in her mouth.
Then he approached Noah and immediately thrust the bag at him.
“huh? what? “Are you giving it to me?”
[Green, green!]
The white wolf nods its head.
Noah opened the bag with a puzzled look on his face.
And after a while, the moment I opened the bag, my bright blue eyes widened.
“This is this?!”
Noah stiffened with his eyes wide open.
Is it because of the somewhat violent reaction? Ibella and Delia looked puzzled.
“what’s the matter?”
“I heard something inside… … .”
Delia, who had been speaking calmly, also had a blank expression like Noah.
It was worth it.
What was in the bag was a top-grade magic stone. Because there were more than a dozen of them.
“for a moment. “This bag somehow looks familiar.”
Delia narrowed her eyes.
Like I’ve seen a lot of bags somewhere.
After a while, she seemed to realize who the owner of the bag was and shouted in surprise.
“that’s right! “Difflin’s, it’s a bag.”
“what? really?”
“look. “Your name is written here.”
What Delia said was true.
The evidence was the embroidery on the inside of the bag that read, ‘Dear Diphlin Chernio.’
Immediately after realizing the owner of the bag, Noah looked at the white tiger with an even more surprised face.
“How did you get Dean Diphlin’s bag…” … .”
But there was no answer.
In the first place, the white wolf didn’t even look at Noah.
I just silently looked in the direction of the magic circle. Immediately after realizing this, everyone thought of what they had to do right away.
“I’ll analyze the magic circle right away!”
Since you have the ingredients, there is no need to hesitate.
Delia immediately approached the magic circle and tried to delve into the details of the magic that made up it.
But at that moment.
An unexpected voice was heard.
“I’ll do it.”
“… … what?”
“No, I have to do this. “It would be much faster that way.”
Noah intervenes out of nowhere.
Delia narrowed her eyes at the sudden but meaningful-sounding words.
“What does that mean?”
“I mean it literally. “If it were me, I could open the abyss in 10 minutes.”
“… … “10 minutes, you say?”
This is ridiculous.
It would have taken her over an hour just to interpret all the techniques, but she could open the abyss in just 10 minutes?
There was disbelief in Delia’s eyes.
“What, aqueduct? “How?”
“Trust me just once.”
“no. Even if you believe it… … .”
“are you okay. “It’s possible if you have the ingredients.”
Noah was reckless.
However, the look in her eyes was real.
His eyes sparkle seriously, as if he will definitely save Ulan and Laurea. It was around the time when I closed my mouth due to the strange force I felt at the same time.
Noah grinned.
“Because the characters I played weren’t just from the warrior camp.”
“paly? character?”
Delia tilted her head.
This is because unfamiliar words pop out.
Noah, on the other hand, did not answer, but stared intently at the magic circle. Furthermore, I focused on Yu Min-ah’s consciousness. It was to recall memories.
Not anyone else-.
I remember playing as an Abyss Cultist.
