134 - - the end of the 23rd episode

He pats Nazna's head and calms her down.

Fortunately, the dwarven species were deafened by the sound of the impact, and Mera was standing in front of them, blocking their view, so they did not see Nazna start to cry.

After regaining their composure, everyone gathers around the "snake-like" - a man-made mythology class weapon that Nazna defeated, keeping an eye out for any other enemies or traps.

The right arm of the Mythology-class weapon had been severed from the shoulder, and its chest armor had been ripped open and what appeared to be the core inside had been cut in half. The tail was also cut off, and the oppressive feeling it had when it was moving earlier was completely gone.

Instead of a crater as if it had been hollowed out with a hot spoon of butter, it was crushed and hollowed out by force.

The man-made mythological class (mitology class) weapons that had been inactivated because of this were also half buried in the rubble.

Dwarf King Dagan sniffs excitedly and asks.

"Lord Light, may I approach, touch, analyze, lick, and eat that man-made Mythology-class weapon?

"...... seems to be inactive, so I don't think there is any danger, but be careful when approaching. Just don't try to eat it or put it in your mouth, as it will upset your stomach and Nazna wouldn't want you to copy it."

Nailed down, but with permission granted, the dwarven species all flocked to the broken man-made Mythology Class (Mitology Class) weaponry.

In this world, no matter how much effort or time you put into it, you can only make a relic class weapon.

Despite this, past civilizations have been able to artificially create the mythology class. If there is proof of this, there is no reason for the dwarves not to be excited.

Woo hoo!　It's made out of a metal I've never seen before!"

'Look at the core too!　Inside, complex techniques are stacked in a laminated structure. This must be what allowed him to make such complex judgments about the situation.

Agh!　Both snake heads on both arms have been crushed!　It would have been good research material if it had remained!"

Show me more!　We need to figure out how the Mythology Class can be so isolated from the rest of the world that it seems to interfere with it!"

With a commotion as if a riot had broken out, the dwarf species shouted and moved.

After this, they are going to make a commotion, even reaching for the Mythology Class (Mitology Class), the great sword Prometheus, which Nazna holds in her hand. ......

We must be careful not to let an angry Nazna get to them.

Frankly, I'm getting a headache now.

(On a positive note,......, it's a good thing they didn't know about the Genesis Class, "Shinso Gungnir," in my hand.

Thanks to the sound of the impact when Nazna made the stop and May standing in front of me protecting the dwarf species, they did not see or hear me use the Shinso Gungnir to make the final stop on the left snake arm.

I don't know what they would do to me if they knew that I have not only the mythology class (mythology class) but also the genesis class (genesis class).

It would be a good idea to keep it a secret.

Kekekekekekeke!　Master, may I?"

As I watch the dwarves gather around the mythological class weapons buried in the hollows, Mera calls out to me.

She is standing there with the tip of a cleanly severed blade through the long hem, or "a piece of the sword of an adventurer who has dived here in the past.

Kekekekekeke!　One of the squads that had been sent out to investigate the surroundings had safely found the next hole to descend. There were no signs of anyone having passed through the hole, and it appears that they found this together near it."

This is ......"

The remaining scent is almost certainly that of an adventurer sent out by the dwarven race.

I don't know how they got this far. ......

It seems that they have crossed the infinite stone golem hierarchy and the artificial sea hierarchy to reach this place.

However, they probably lost their lives here, as they were no match for the man-made mythological class (Mitology class) weapons.

Were there any other artifacts?"

Kekekekekeke!"　I'm sorry, this seems to be all we have."

We can't reveal it because it was a top-secret mission and it must have happened hundreds of years ago, but we wanted to return any relics to family, acquaintances, etc., but it seems all we found was the tip of the blade.

Rather, should we consider it rather fortunate that only the tip of the blade remained after the 'world dilution' attack of that man-made mythological class (mitology class) weapon?

After informing Dagan and the others, I decide in my heart to bring back the relic blade tip to the ground.

Well, thank you, Mera.

It's a shame," he said. So, shall I take you to the next hole?"

Uh ...... that's ......"

He turns his attention to the dwarf species.

Their excitement was unstoppable, and they were frolicking like young children brought to a playground.

I said to myself, "Let's wait a little longer for them to calm down. ...... It'll still be a while before the rest of the group returns."

Kekekekekeke!"　Understood, sir.

Mella responded, and like May and the others, she began to watch for other enemy attacks, traps, and so on.

It took a full day after that for the dwarven species to settle down.

They stayed up all night, clinging to their man-made Mythology-class weapons and checking them out. They removed the debris with our help along the way.

They also helped us put the parts in place so that they would hit their original positions.

The results, as it turns out, are available at .......

Our modern technology has no idea!　I know now that I'm not the only one.

Dagan the Dwarf King asserts emphatically.

As expected, he does not believe that it is possible to understand or reproduce the cutting-edge technology of past civilizations in a day or so. ......

With a nice smile on his face, he says, "We know what we don't know, and that's the way forward. Do I have to spend a lot of time in dangerous places?　That ain't got nothing to do with it! I was stunned to find that dwarves really do like research too much.

Not only me, but Mei, Nazuna, Mera, and Suzu had similar reactions.

I couldn't take it out on the dwarf species by any means, so I decided to rest my body at the cottage before continuing on.

Mera's alter ego, a lone wolf, had found the next hole to go through.

We moved on to the hole to descend, and as usual, we descended on May's string box.

We passed through a hole that was as long as any other, and there it was - a hole that was as long as any other.

'Is this a ...... dwelling?'

The world that unfolded through the window of the string box was lined with buildings in regular rows, trees in regular rows, perhaps planted to heal people, and the gray ground with black grains that had fallen and buried some of the upper levels after they collapsed, but at a glance one could recognize that it was a safe place for people to live.

Everyone intuitively understood that this was the end point we were aiming for.
