Imperial Castle of Ruben Empire.
Demuel Ron Dermore looked at his only daughter, Eurpé, who was unconscious and asleep..
There was no promise of when he would be able to wake up, but that was fine. Because I was satisfied just by looking at it.
When we were spending time alone.
Unexpected news came.
“what? refused to mobilize?”
“That's right. It is said that there is no situation to move troops in the north, south, or west..”
It was the warlords and aristocrats of the empire who had communicated that they would not obey the mobilization order..
This was enough to cause considerable setbacks to Demuel's plans. At this, Demuel looked at the Abyss Worshiper with a hard face..
“The owner knows this…….”
“already know.”
At that moment.
A familiar voice interrupted Demuel's words. Chartrand's voice. To be precise, it was the appearance of Lacus who swallowed his body..
“They say that the northern part was attacked by barbarians and the southern part by desert pagans..”
As if it had been promised, a large-scale attack by a military force arrived on the same day and at the same time. This was never a natural situation.
That's why Lacus was convinced.
the one behind all this.
“At first glance, it must be the work of a stranger.”
Black-Haired Shaman, Noah Darshen.
She is the only one with the strength and cunning to move all the barbarians and desert cults..
Meanwhile, Demuel lowered his head in disgrace at Lacus' muttering..
“sorry. I don't think they would have come up with measures like this.…….”
“Okay. Because this is Jim's mistake for putting his hopes on humans..”
After spitting out a word mixed with cynicism.
Lacus waved his hand in the air. Then two scenes appeared in front of him..
One was the main gate of Arsene Academy, and the other was the 5th district of the fountain of magic..
After a while, Lacus raised his lips as if he noticed something bothering him..
“Whoa, this is a bit surprising.”
The scene unfolded in Lacus' field of vision.
It was Ulan and the other warriors split in two. Confirming this, Lacus seemed to be struggling with something, then turned to Demuel..
“Demuel, my apostle.”
“please tell me master.”
Demuel bowed his head politely..
Calling yourself out of nowhere meant that you had something to do. just as expected? Lacus opened his mouth with a meaningful smile..
“now is the time.”
“yes? that word…….”
“It means that the moment to put an end to Jim's last great cause has arrived..”
Right after Lacus stopped replying, Demuel's expression hardened again. because he knew what he meant.
“Ha, but they're still around!”
“not alive But look at the fountain of magic. Aren't there guys you need to be most careful about?.”
Stranger and Stranger's Fragment.
The fact that Noah and Uhlan were not at the Well of Magic was worth the work..
Except for the two, the other heroes could never be Lacus' opponents..
In other words, now that the two of them are tied to the front gate of the academy, it's like a golden opportunity..
“that's right…….”
Demuel, on the other hand, had a confused look on his face..
Because it kind of bothered me. Ulan and Noah only temporarily left the fountain of magic, but they were in a situation where they could join whenever they could afford it..
Of course, it is a clear fact that if you open the door to the abyss, which is the end of the great work Lacus said, the odds of winning this side will increase significantly..
‘but even so…….’
The ominous feeling in a corner of my heart could not be erased. Maybe it's because the situation is going completely different from the original plan..
Conversely, Lacus had a different idea..
“If there are no incidental fragments and strangers, other stars cannot be my opponents..”
No matter how much they pass the hero's ordeal, their strength is insufficient to deal with Lacus who swallowed the source of the abyss..
So, if you move to the fountain of magic right away, finish off the warriors and open the door to the abyss perfectly, the victory will be for Lacus..
When I made that decision.
A sudden change happened.
unsupported weave!
This is because one of the two landscapes that unfolded in front of Lacus disappeared along with the noise. At this, Demuel widened his eyes..
“stand, no way…….”
“It seems that the planted eyes have been discovered..”
This means that one of the devices that Demuel and the cultists have installed in the Fountain of Power has been destroyed..
Lacus' eyes narrowed. Now that he's aware of the device, he has two actions to take..
All you have to do is go under the surface and keep an eye on their movements for a bit more, or go immediately to the fountain of magic and do a great job..
“Demuel, go and tell all my household and followers who worship me. Get ready to move to the fountain of magic right now..”
In the past, he would have chosen the former, but Lacus chose the latter. He decided that there was no reason to hesitate now that he had absorbed the source of the abyss..
“I will open the door to the abyss.”
It's time to put an end to everything.
Lacus licked his lips and laughed..
5.
Fountain of Power, Area 5.
Now that Ulan, Noah, and Sven have left. There were only five warriors left here. No, to be precise, there were existences other than the hero, but.
[what the hell are you thinking!]
A voice that reverberates through the hall.
It was Professor Stella's voice. Her cry from the magic golem had been going on ever since Ulan's party disappeared..
[Come to the shelter right now. Everyone knows it's dangerous to stay there too long.!]
Of course I know. The fountain of magic, especially the 5th area, is the closest to the abyss, so it overflows with unstable magic..
However, this is only for common people. There was no particular problem for the warriors who passed the ordeal..
“Phew, so we're fine. Rather, pay more attention to the Imperial Army..”
I heard that the imperial army has already arrived in front of the academy's main gate. However, Ulan and the others are blocking it, so they haven't been able to break into the campus yet..
That's why Ybela said this to Stella to hear the news from the Ulan side..
Was this intention conveyed??
After a while, Stella's voice could no longer be heard from the magic golem. Ibella let out a sigh of relief and looked around..
“…….”
A gap believed to be the door to the abyss.
If you look at it still, you will feel stuffy in your chest and even have a headache. It must be because beyond the gap is the abyss itself..
how long has it been like that?
Ibela looked back at her other colleagues..
“by the way.”
When I hinted at it, Ian looked at her first. In response, this Bella let out her sudden thought..
“It's not like doing nothing and being still?”
“yes? what do you mean?”
“right? Ulan and Noah must be fighting the Imperial Army right now, so can we just relax like this?.”
The mission given to the five warriors is to watch over the gate of the abyss and defend it..
However, nothing in particular happened, so in the end, it was like taking a leisurely break. So I even felt a little guilty..
But then, Dillia, who had been calmly closing her eyes, glanced at Ibella..
“……Leisurely, there is only you.”
“Yes? what?”
“I, just, eyes, close, think?”
After answering, Dillia spread her tightly clenched hands. Then she found a blue amulet, presumably belonging to Noah, inside it..
“What is it?”
“search, magic, endowed, talisman.”
In the fountain of magic, it is difficult to use magic prematurely. Noah, well aware of this, entrusted her search amulet to Dillia, asking her to see if anything was suspicious..
In other words, it meant that Dillia was not playing around. In response, Ibella put on a sullen expression and said as if protesting..
“Ugh! But Perticia too…….”
“I asked the spirits. If there's anything suspicious, let me know right away..”
But the protest didn't work.
Like the answer I just returned, Perticia was also communicating with the spirits and constantly searching the fountain of magic to see if there was anything suspicious..
“So, then Laurea?”
“The saintess is detecting evil magic with the prayer of purification. I'm assisting the saintess.”
What Ian said was true..
From the moment Ulan and the others left, Laurea had closed her eyes with her hands together..
Ibela laughed awkwardly when she realized that the party was preoccupied with their own tasks..
“Ahaha, I was the only one who was free.”
“If you know, quickly, anything, help.”
“yep, that should be it.”
Isabella got up from her seat..
Like the rest of the group, it was to see if there was anything suspicious. But just as he was about to move, he heard a voice grabbing his feet..
“Wait.”
None other than Perticia's Call.
she said with a very serious face.
“Everyone, please come over here for a moment..”
“why? anything, found?”
“Maybe. The wind spirit just said it found something odious out there..”
then it would be almost correct.
The party of warriors moved in the direction Perticia pointed out without saying anything first..
some time after that.
Searching around the destination, the party soon found a hideous object..
“……!”
“two skulls?!”
Like Ibella's startled cry, it was a half-shattered human skull..
It wasn't just an ordinary skull.
Eye light won't leak out of an ordinary skull. Immediately after perceiving this, Dillia swung her cane and struck her in the skull..
puck! Quadduk!
A skull breaking with a cool sound.
Looking at the fragments that shattered and flew away, Ibella asked in surprise..
“Ha, you can break it carelessly?!”
“I could feel the watchful eye.”
“what? really?”
“okay. It's safe to say that it's the eyes of Lacus, as Noah said last time..”
Dillia's eyes narrowed..
I once heard from Noah. Regarding Abyss Lord Lacus' 'Observation Power'.
And the moment I found the skull, I had a strong feeling that someone was watching me. That's why I broke it without hesitation.
Meanwhile, immediately after Dillia broke the skull, Perticia's complexion was suddenly shaded..
“……Dillia. My magic is pulsating.”
“huh. Everyone, be careful. Because there is a possibility that a monster, of the abyss, will emerge from there.”
Dillia nodded and looked at the gap that was supposed to be the door to the abyss. At the time when everyone was looking at it with such a nervous face.
An unexpected incident has occurred.
“what?”
“Wait. what is that?”
Not at the door to the abyss, but next to it, the space was suddenly torn vertically. After a while, the space quickly turned into a crack and everyone's eyes widened..
“Poetry, Abyssal Cleft!?”
A phenomenon familiar to warriors.
It is the sight of an abyss opening. Laurea shouted in bewilderment at the sight of the gap opening right next to the Abyssal Gate..
“It can't be! There is no one here who can open the gap…….”
“If you think about it in general.”
“……!?”
At that moment.
Goose bumps all over my body.
It's because of the strange voice that came out of nowhere. Everyone's eyes turned to the place where the voice was heard, and soon they were able to spot the blond man..
“Jim, however, is an exception. Because I am the master of the abyss itself.”
30Male presumed to be in his early teens.
The moment I found him wearing the white robes and red cape that symbolize the imperial family, Pertisia's voice suddenly rang out like a scream..
“Oh brother?!”
Red eyes that turned into surprised rabbits.
At Perticia's cry, the faces of the party also hardened. Because she had only one thing she could call her brother.
The next Emperor, Chartrand Monick Al Leuven.
After realizing this, Ibella snarled while biting her lip..
“……Lord of the Abyss!”
Lacus Klamanduratus.
The moment the last remaining Lord of the Abyss appeared, a sudden upheaval enveloped the party. With the darkness of the abyss covering the fountain of magic.
