by fnovelpiaNear the Magic Tower.
Brick house.
“Myaa~”
Bang!~
Myorini has returned from scouting the underworld.
They found the source of the ghost story, but they were too scared to go in, so Ronica’s group waited to hear from Myorin, who had gone on a scouting trip.
Myorini immediately transformed into a human form and told them about the underworld.
“No one uploads it! But there are a lot of strange things.”
“Strange object?”
“It’s similar to the wizard’s laboratory I saw in the Magic Tower, but it’s more luxurious!”
The Ronica group looked at each other.
He looked a little relieved.
‘Is that really all… .’
But Ronica is excluded.
This was because I was half-convinced that there was something related to Caesar or God underneath this. That’s why I didn’t let go of tension.
From now on, you will need to find out for yourself.
“Luckily, I don’t think it’s a strange place.”
“Is this like an eccentric wizard’s secret space?”
“There was no one there… .”
“… Shall we take a look around?”
“Ugh. Is it okay?”
Finally, Ronica’s group went down the stairs.
Astradic and Ronica stood in the lead, Aleph was in the middle, and Lapis and Andro followed, hugging each other and trembling terribly.
One step, one step.
Slowly, carefully.
Pop.
“… Is it really a laboratory?”
Arrived at the underground space.
Like the fearless Astradic, I went straight inside as if nothing had happened.
“Keu… Is this all?”
Ronica followed suit.
“Hey, hey… Let’s go together.”
“Is it really a good place?”
Others also entered the underground space.
He was shaking when he went down the basement stairs, but he seemed relieved to see this cavity. There was lighting here, so it wasn’t too dark.
“There are more items than I thought.”
“I guess someone keeps using it.”
Reagent materials.
Small potion test tubes.
A huge piece of paper and magic array attached to the wall.
Magic devices the size of a torso whose purpose is unknown.
and… .
“There is also a warehouse. There’s a pile of expensive-looking things here.”
“Ugh… … We’re okay, right?”
“Mmm. Anyway, it wasn’t a ghost story, it was just a wizard’s laboratory. Is it rude to keep looking around like this? Should we just leave?”
“Well, then. If someone comes later-”
Grrr!!
Sigh!
“Ugh!?”
A sound that came suddenly.
When I turned around and checked, the entrance I had just come through had gone into the ground and had been replaced by a wall.
“Hiik!!!”
“The entrance is closed!?”
“Uh huh?… Seo, surely not?“
Ronica’s group panicked.
Among them, Aleph calmly returned to the entrance and tried pushing or knocking on the wall.
Shaking my head.
“Not even nodding. I feel like I’m trapped.”
“Ugh… Really?”
“Oops. Shall I destroy it?”
“You idiot! What if it collapses?”
“Ah… It was true that once you came in, you couldn’t get out. What should we do!!?”
Andrew shook his head.
Lapis grabs both shoulders.
Myorin just tilts his head.
And Astradik and Ronica calmly observed the situation.
“… First, let’s calm down.”
“There must be a way out. ”
Next, Aleph expressed his opinion.
“Let’s start by looking at what is there. You turned on the light when you came in here. This is the wizard’s abode. They may have installed a special device.”
“Good. I’ll look here.”
The entrance to the yard is already closed.
There is nothing good about staying still.
“… Ugh. I also worked out hard. I can’t just keep watching.”
Andrew also worked hard again and moved.
How many minutes have passed?
Sniff.
“Myaaah! There’s something here!!”
Click.
Myorin, who had been sniffing innocently, removed the paper from the wall.
“Oh. If you touch something like that-”
Faaah!!!
Drurr.
The magic array drawn on the paper radiated light.
At the same time, a new door at the end of the underground space appeared, pushing the wall from the bottom up.
“… Door?”
“It’s on the opposite side of the entrance?… .”
“I can feel the energy I was talking about below. My~”
“… Ugh. It’s ominous.”
“… … Uh, what should I do?”
Ronica’s group panicked.
Beyond the door was a basement staircase.
Instead of escaping, I discovered a door leading deeper.
“What are they doing there?”
“A suspicious smell is slowly wafting out?… .”
The Ronica group looked at each other again.
Should I go?
Should I not?
The conclusion was the latter.
“Let’s start by looking for the exit door!”
“… Wouldn’t that be great!? You never know what might be there.”
“Yes. Even if you go, I think it would be better to secure the exit first.”
Although I was surprised for a moment, Ronica’s group tried to ignore it and found the entrance. But even after dozens of minutes, there was no result.
“Ha. It would have been nice to have Fiona. Isn’t there a time like this?”
“Myorin. Try your best! I’m sure you can find it again!”
“mya… I can’t see it anymore. Myuuk… .”
As expected, the entrance could not be found.
In the first place, the door inside this place can only be opened by magic. Unless you are lucky enough to activate the scroll like before, it is impossible.
and… There were no other scrolls anymore.
In other words, trapped. It means you can’t get out unless someone comes and opens it.
Is that why?
“… Shall we go down?”
Lapis said those words.
I was most reluctant to go down, but as I calmed down a bit, I seemed to change my mind.
I guess he didn’t want to be stuck here forever.
“Umm… I wonder if that would be better.”
“There is no other way… .”
“You never know. Maybe you can find something that will help you escape.”
In the end, the answer was decided.
Ronica’s group discussed for a while and then… .
“Let’s go.”
“Yes.”
I went deeper underground.
*
“Strange place… .”
“The atmosphere has changed.”
Even though I was just going down to the basement, I felt an uneasy feeling for some unknown reason.
“… It’s too deep.”
It was enough to make the fearless Astradic nervous.
The moment you reach the end of the stairs.
“Uh… Uh huh?… … .”
“What is it? What is it? What’s ahead… Huh?”
“What is it? Why is everyone… … Rae?… … … .”
Everyone froze.
A truly ridiculously large space.
A place where space is distorted.
The first among them.
A huge transparent test tube of unbelievable size was looking down at them majestically.
There’s no telling what could have been.
I can’t guess what kind of experiment was done.
Entered an unidentified space.
“… What are you doing here?”
“Too wide. What kind of experiment were you doing?”
“What was that test tube made for? There’s nothing inside… .”
A huge test tube whose reason is unknown. It is unknown what was inside. I was overwhelmed just by looking at it.
I just looked around blankly.
“I think there’s something over there too.”
“… Let’s go.”
We have already reached the point where there is no turning back. Ronica’s group moved forward together, and an incomprehensible scene gradually became confusing before their eyes.
“What the hell is this… .”
“Wow… … .”
Carefully decomposed human bones.
Dozens of stuffed children.
and.
“Why on earth would you do this?… … .”
“Crazy. The ghost story was true… .”
Numerous test tubes lined up on both sides of the long space and people trapped inside them. The test subjects who were just breathing were trapped there.
“Human experiment?… .”
“Ugh. This is too much! I have to tell you this right away when I go outside.”
“… … If you can get out.”
“Ugh! Don’t say things like that to make you nervous!”
“Mya… Some pitiful people.”
“Shall we take it out? We can save you!”
“That’s too reckless. If you touch it without knowing anything, it can become dangerous again. It would be safer to look for clues here or escape and call someone.”
“Ugh… I guess so.”
Stiff expressions.
Looks nervous.
I couldn’t touch the test tube for fear of something going wrong.
Although they were so confused, they were still a group of Ronicas who had gone through many hardships.
They kept moving forward.
There were a few visits from time to time.
Warehouse with materials.
A prison that would have imprisoned the test subject.
A rotten room with a foul smell.
“Why is this room locked?”
“Couldn’t there be someone inside?”
“Mmm. Someone might be trapped.”
“Let’s go further.”
Even an unidentified room that cannot be opened.
etc.
Facing the truth you don’t want to know… .
We reached the end of the basement.
*
“I feel like throwing up… .”
“Hold on a little. Because it seems like this is the end.”
“… Is there something strange in the test tube here?”
“I feel a strong wave… Mya… … .”
“Wave?”
“The energy I felt! This was it!”
At the end of the basement.
Myorin pointed to a test tube.
Here, only two test tubes were placed separately, and a hose of unknown material was connected to the wall with numerous magic circles engraved on it.
One test tube was empty, and the other had a sphere shining like the moon.
What Myorin pointed to was a shining sphere.
“Pretty… .”
“Like the blue moon in the night sky.”
“If you read the diary here, you will understand.”
Astradik picked up a book from a drawer-like space next to the test tube.
“What is it? What does it say?”
“Bill… … Luna, the moon god. For succession, an attempt was made to fuse advanced experiment subject number 24, but there was no response as to whether it was rejected on its own, and the magic circle was destroyed? On hold?”
“Moon God?… .”
“Poetry, God… It’s a lie, right?”
“But… Is that really possible?”
The thread of secret unravels.
This is a laboratory for the succession of gods.
It is probably a place where the resurrection of gods was studied using human experiments and numerous people.
“Now that I think about it, weren’t there a lot of journals and papers on the road today? Let’s look at all of that too. There must be an important secret hidden there.”
“Good! If you’re reading a book, you’re confident.”
“My~ I also read-”
Kuguk.
[What are you talking about so interestingly?]
“Ugh!?!”
“Kyaaa!!!!!”
“Myoey!!… … .”
Suddenly a loud noise rang out.
At some point, you turn around and see a woman with silver hair and red eyes. The woman who passed by at the Magic Tower was looking at the group of Ronica.
“Who, who are you!!?… .”
“Ugh… Is your body not moving?… … .”
“What on earth… .”
Ronika and everyone else froze.
Priscilla, the sun god. It was because he couldn’t bear the harsh treatment she threw at him as a joke.
Of course, it wasn’t Ronica.
“… … … This feeling. Are you by any chance God?”
[Oh? Yes. It was you. Judging by the fact that nothing has happened, you are probably the apostle of the person who dared to impersonate the god of Edelin.]
“… What do you mean by that?”
[We are so proud. It’s absolutely shameful. So what should I do… How should I play with it so that it comes to me?]
Kuguk!!-
“Ugh!!”
“Qu… iced coffee… … .”
dump.
Andrew lost consciousness and fell down.
“ANDRO!!… Stop it!!!”
[What if you don’t like it?]
Coogoo soup!!!
Priscilla seemed to find that reaction amusing and exclaimed louder.
at last.
“Ugh… I’m dizzy… … .”
“Myooo… … .”
dump.
Lapis and Myorin collapse.
“Ugh… Because I can’t see ahead. Zenjaaaang… .”
Aleph knelt down with a light curse and slid over to the side.
“Mr. Ha… … ah… spin… Bury… … .”
Astradik, who was trying to endure to the end, fell backwards, exposing the whites of his eyes.
dump.
“Lapis! Aleph. Astradic!!”
Even though Ronika desperately calls, it is no use.
There was no way they could withstand the status of gods without any protection.
“Why on earth is this… … .”
[Hehe. Why? Isn’t it fun?]
“… … … .”
Sreuk.
Ronika took out the Storm Sword from her subspace pocket and took a stance.
It was an expression of coldly forged anger.
[oh. It’s cute. Are you planning to stab me with that?]
“… … Humans are not toys. You are not the god of Edeline.”
[Hmm? That sounds interesting. Who else can play God if not me? Are you really talking about the phantom bastard you trust?]
“… … … .”
[Honestly, I don’t know because I’ve never seen it, but I think I can tell just by looking at you. Very poor-]
fault!
Whoa!!
rotary drill.
Ronica was launched at great speed.
however.
Tap!
Paaagh!!!
Priscilla responded with a light slap.
“Keueuuu!!!!?… … .”
bang!!!
Booth… .
Although it was only a night, its power was extraordinary. Ronica was thrown backwards, hit the wall, and fell along with a cloud of dust.
“Kuhuh… Strong… … .”
[This is why humans are. It’s really ugly to go on a rampage without even knowing the topic.]
It was unbelievably strong.
I thought I had become much stronger, but I was nothing but dust in front of Godhead.
My body cannot move with just one touch.
Still, he remained calm.
I quickly turned my head.
‘… Shall I summon a nigger?’
One secret weapon. I debated whether or not to summon a black man who was in the midst of a war.
But that is just as the enemy intended.
He spoke in a confident manner, saying he hoped the black man would come.
Maybe it’s stronger than expected.
Or maybe there is something in preparation. Because this is the middle of enemy territory. If there is another god or another powerful person with him, it would be like putting black people in danger as well.
More than anything, I said I would play with it. There was no mention of killing oneself.
If so, you might be able to take advantage of the opportunity.
The summons will be postponed for a while –
[ah. It’s annoying after all. I should just kill him.]
Woah!!-
Priscilla extended her hand to Ronica.
Energy like the sun lightly condensed in your hands. I feel intense heat.
Of course, it is not an attack that Ronica can block. With that one hit, the group of Ronica here will lose their lives in an instant.
Ronica’s eyes were greatly shaken.
Too sudden change of attitude.
I can’t make a choice.
There is not enough time to think.
That’s why my body reacted first.
[Now, let’s all die together]
“Stop it!!!!”
flashing
Just as Priscilla was about to attack, Ronica disappeared from her seat.
Must be kept.
For everyone.
hook!!
That thought, which arose in the midst of urgent situation and confusion, slightly cracked something inside Ronika and awakened some strength.
[hmm?… .]
Priscilla stretched out one hand, looking slightly surprised.
Tup!!
Paaaa!!!-
Ronika’s fist was caught. At that moment, the wind came and blew my hair.
[This is quite… her?]
Not even a second has passed since we put our fists together.
Priscilla expressed surprise again. Something surrounding Ronica began to appear.
Shoot-
The soul dwells in it.
A few powerful souls blooming from the cracks inside are jumping out and gaining strength.
Although it was impossible, Ronica unknowingly activated her Soul Master skill to the extreme and controlled the rampaging soul.
Even if it was only a little, there was a strong feeling of danger.
“You are not a god!!!!”
Sigh!!
Green onions!!
Paaaa!!!
Two punches.
One roundhouse kick.
It’s an incredibly fast and correct posture.
In response, Priscilla twitched her eyes, threw away her fist, and blocked her leg with one arm.
[It’s an interesting power.]
Just!!
Kwaang!!
“Keueuuuu!!!”
This time, Priscilla’s side kick.
Ronica was unable to respond to the invisible speed and flew back, landing against the wall.
A numb shock.
“Ugh… .”
My body doesn’t move.
My head turned white from shock.
Although it was incredibly powerful, it was still absurd to Priscilla.
The extent to which bugs have turned into warts.
[You know what? Actually, I didn’t really intend to kill him. I just wanted to see a funny reaction. But, you exceeded my expectations. I thought it would be quite fun to take over that body.]
“… … … .”
[so… I guess you understood what I said, right?]
“Yes. Of course.”
Sigh.
Suddenly an old man appeared.
“Ah… .”
Caesar II.
The attitude is that they have been watching from the beginning.
[Let’s just go.]
“Thank you for your help. Please come in.”
Priscilla leisurely turned around.
I feel like my stiff hair is settling down. Fortunately, the risk of death was overcome… .
This time Caesar approached with a grin on his face.
“That doesn’t make sense. There is no refund.”
I looked up at him with difficulty.
“Why are you here… … .”
“Are you surprised? Because I’m here?”
“… It was all your doing. But how could they do something like this under the magic tower… .”
“My other name is Arcedius. Does this make sense? Well, it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. Just go to sleep.”
“Ugh?… .”
Sigh~
Caesar cast a sleeping spell.
Even though I was being held captive, I wasn’t particularly scared.
Rather, I felt relieved.
doesn’t die
You can take advantage of the opportunity.
There is still a chance to make up for it.
Is it because of that sense of relief?
Ronica couldn’t resist the sleep magic.
Within… .
Sreuk.
I closed both eyes.
