I see your code (153)

“… … You beat the queen?”

Ramuses asked blankly. Even though I heard it clearly with my ears, I couldn’t quite understand what it was about. But the other party said it again without giving him a chance to deny it.

“… … Yes. I can’t believe it either, but I think I’ve definitely won.”

I’m sure it’s like something else. Ramuses frowned and walked closer to the hole. To see the scene with your own eyes.

“… … You really did cut the queen.”

The shape of a giant ant lying down with its neck down. She looked just like the queen she had seen before. And there was one more thing that was different from what I expected.

‘Isn’t that why I couldn’t be safe?’

Let’s say that a level 3 monster beat a level 2 monster by yielding about ten thousand steps.

But even so, I wondered if the time was going too fast, and it seemed that he had mastered the technique of pouring his latent power all at once.

Below, Lian was bleeding from all over his body, barely supporting his body.

‘Did you use the same skill in a duel?’

Now I feel a little more understandable about that overwhelming power.

If it had reached a state on the verge of death after using it once, it was difficult, but convincing. At least, wouldn’t it make more sense than to be able to win with life?

At that time, I didn’t go that far, so I guess I can adjust it to some extent.

He nodded and looked back.

“I have to apologize to the saint.”

“… … Did Rihanna really win?”

“It’s hard to believe, but it seems so.”

It took me a while to be happy with the news. Arina narrowed her eyes and looked at Ramuses.

“But is it my misunderstanding that you don’t really feel good about it?”

“It would be an illusion. You are not interpreting my surprised expression correctly.”

“It’s a face that looks like something uncomfortable… … .”

“It is true that it is a bad feeling. It was because I was thinking about what kind of technique I should use to beat the above rank.”

Ramuses answered calmly to the end. After staring at him up and down for a while, Arina quickly turned her head.

“Well, it’s fine now. Rather than that, you won’t stop him from going down again, right?”

“Of course. However, we will have to accompany you there.”

At those words, Arina fixed her gaze on Ramuses again. She had already lost a lot of trust in her companions.

“Why? You don’t need an escort. If you go downstairs, Rian-sama will protect you.”

“The problem is that he is immobile.”

Arina’s complexion turned pale in an instant.

“Have you ever been hurt?”

“You should check it out for yourself.”

Ramuses quietly walked away and said. Arina hesitated for a moment, then quickly stepped forward. And as soon as he saw the situation below, he threw himself into the hole.

Ramuses couldn’t help but be a little perplexed, as he couldn’t have imagined that he would jump without showing any hesitation. Then an elf quietly approached him and whispered in his ear.

“What would you like to do?”

It was a question that left out both the subject and the object, but Ramuses understood and answered it.

“For now, we will monitor the situation. A lot has changed from the plan.”

“Are you saying you want me to leave it like that?”

“Did it sound that way?”

Ramuses asked calmly. The elf, who was questioning, quickly smirked and withdrew slightly.

“Oh, no. The captain will have an idea.”

“Right now, it is urgent to go down and assess the situation.”

Ramuses glanced at the opponent for a moment before continuing.

“It’s not strange to make a decision after that.”

“Lian!”

woo woo woo!

It is still a deep cave, but when a person falls directly from above, the sound reverberates for a long time.

Arina, who landed like that, immediately canceled the holy magic she was wearing and ran forward.

“Aren’t you already dead?!”

“… … Why are you coming down first?”

Ryan asked with a puzzled face.

“Then there is someone injured, and the priest comes first, who comes first?”

“No, of course, coming down from the escort… … .”

“Don’t talk too much, look at your body. What are the wounded people talking about?”

Arina answered in a slightly irritated tone and raised her divine power. It was intended to provide treatment, but the patient made a rather troubled face and slid out of the body.

“Hey, okay. It’s not really hurt.”

“I’m not really hurt! So what are all these wounds?”

“that… … To be precise, he was really hurt, but he wasn’t really?”

At those words, Arina covered her mouth with both hands.

“… … How to. I guess I’m out of my mind because I’m bleeding so much. I still can’t even regenerate blood with my divine power… … .”

“… … .”

I said it myself, but that’s how it sounds. Rihanna gave up on persuasion and sighed quietly. And it was time to open my mouth again.

“I’m glad it looks better than I thought.”

The party who had been watching from above the hole came down. Arina’s speed was controlled by spirits, and the landing was so smooth that it couldn’t be compared.

Ryan asked in a blunt tone.

“Does it look like it’s in good shape now?”

“Not really, but… … .”

Ramuses answered with a friendly face.

“Isn’t it at least to the level where you can open your mouth and have a conversation? I said this because I think it looks better than it looks.”

“It’s not because I was hurt. The body is almost in a state of near death.”

“But why aren’t you getting treatment? … ?”

“It’s not that I can’t, it’s that I can’t. I used unholy burnt artifacts.”

Around that time, Arina had something to guess. Instead of asking when the divine power stopped working, she chose to remain silent and read the surrounding air first.

Ramuses asked, tilting his head.

“An unholy burnt artifact?”

“This is it.”

Lian answered and took a bright red stone from his bosom.

“The killing stone is a relic. It’s pretty popular now, so you may have heard of it.”

“… … The thing of Theodore, the King of Kings, who caused the massacre in Argon a few years ago.”

No need to explain.

Ryan continued to speak.

“you’re right. It is a cursed relic that when fed blood, it is converted into magical energy and delivered to the user. It seems that few people know about other effects, but… … .”

“… … Maybe that other effect is like exploding your potential?”

“It would be more appropriate to call it vitality rather than potential, but… … Anyway, it’s similar.”

“Hmm.”

It’s as far as you think. It was unexpected that it was the power of relics, not technology… … Rather, it makes more sense.

Relics often have extraordinary powers, but I’ve never heard of a technology that can overcome an emergency no matter how risky your life is.

Ramuses asked in a worried tone.

“okay. So, is it impossible to recover at all?”

“You don’t have to worry about that. Because I’m proud that I have a strong body. Just eat healthy food and get plenty of rest, and you will get better soon.”

After hesitating for a moment, Ramuses glanced back slightly. Then the elves who were there quickly came forward and surrounded Rian.

It wasn’t for escort purposes. Because the direction of the sword was inward. Arina raised her eyes and asked.

“What are you doing now?”

“Do you still remember what I said when I interrupted Saint?”

It wasn’t an answer to the question. However, Arina frowned and answered first.

“I remember. Are you talking about the nonsensical story that if I die, Argon and Calpheon may attack the Union using that as an excuse?”

“you’re right.”

Ramuses said with a slight smile.

“One, I hope you don’t dismiss it as an absurd story. Obviously the odds are extremely small, but I’ve been trying to avoid situations that might actually be the worst.”

“… … Please explain what it means.”

“It means that you really tried to save the saint’s life. No matter how much of a fellow World Tree Ben Murouhan is.”

At that, Arina smirked with a slightly nervous face.

“Why am I not surprised by that?”

“I do not know. Even if you weren’t surprised, the holy power you’re collecting seems to be shaking quite a bit.”

Arina’s shoulder, which was stabbed in the corner, shuddered for a moment. Ramuses looked at him and smiled.

“Anyway, for that reason, the original plan was to dig up the soil a year later and take advantage of the absence of the saint to attack him and kill him. I wanted to see the opportunity again this time, but it seems that the author’s risk is higher than I imagined to be so intimidating.”

Arina shed those words in one ear and tried to restore Rihanna. However, the divine power that was released like that was just bounced back without any meaning. As if there was really no burn.

Ramuses, watching Arina’s complexion gradually harden, said calmly.

“So I decided that it would be better to get rid of it right away, even if I took a small risk. But I can think of a better way than that. Would you like to hear it?”

“… … Unless it’s just tinkering.”

“You are taking the life of that poor man yourself. Then I will guarantee the saint’s life.”

“A revamp.”

Arina gave up on any more meaningless actions and got up. It was determined that it would be better to use even a few attack magic than to focus on recovery magic that didn’t work.

“When I hear that, I say, ‘Oh, I see.’ Did you know that you could even say la? I must have forgotten, but I am also a candidate for sainthood, right?”

“Aren’t you more aware of the fact that, contrary to the perception of ordinary people, a saint has little to do with personality?”

“I mean, I feel really bad. It seems like my personality has diminished.”

“I didn’t mean it that way.”

“Suck the root of the world tree.”

Ramuses’ expression hardened for the first time.

I don’t know exactly what it means, but just by daring to mention the world tree made me feel bad.

Arina whispered quietly as she glanced at Rihan, who was still lying in the gap, with her eyes closed.

“Can you move? You will have to move without it. Because now is the only chance to escape.”

“What about you?”

“I’m going to blow it up and run away right away. Don’t worry. You don’t think I’m going to die in Rian-sama’s place, do you?”

That’s the problem because it seems like it. Rian turned his head with a fat face and looked at Arina.

No sane person would have thought that they could both run away from the current situation.

“You only dream of such things, and now you only have to run away… … .”

“It’s over.”

When the other person couldn’t understand what he was saying, Arina looked to the side with a frustrated face.

“What will happen… … yo. this?”

And the end of the speech was blurred. It was because Rihan, a well-behaved and sane man, stood up there, wiping his clothes. He looked at Arina with a blank expression and said calmly.

“It sounds like you’ve already recovered.”
