Elysia.
Ronans mouth fell open slightly. Her silver hair and eyes with ruby-like pupils were features that one could never forget after seeing them just once. Adeshan asked hesitantly.
Do you know her?
Probably.
R-Ronan? Where are you going?
Ronan didnt answer. He moved as if mesmerized by the lantern of an anglerfish.
They met. They had finally met.
As Elysia turned her head, her eyes met Ronans. Standing still, he put his hand around his mouth and shouted.
Elysia! Ive come to meet you!ReAd latest chapters at novelhall.com Only
His voice echoed like it hit a cliff. Elysia, upon hearing her name, raised an eyebrow. She stopped caressing Hyran.
-Whoosh!
Suddenly, Hyran spread its wings and took off. Despite the gusts of wind strong enough to push one back, nobody paid attention except Adeshan. Ronan approached her and explained the purpose of his journey to the Sea of Ghost.
My name is Ronan. That building in the sky what was it called? Drimor. I came here after finding the map in Drimor. Im not sure if it was left by my father or you
A fairly decent explanation followed. It contained only brief and essential information, enough for Adeshan, who was hearing the story for the first time, to understand the context. Every time she inadvertently heard secrets of the world, she felt as if her shoulders stiffened, as if she were shrinking away.
Ha, I never thought such things would happen in the sky
However, Elysia stood still, showing no reaction other than blinking. It was suspiciously still, almost as if she had been switched with a wax doll.
He debated whether to use force to pull her back, even if it seemed a bit rude. Suddenly, Elysia turned her back and began to walk away. Ronans eyes widened.
Wait a moment!
Reflexively drawing his sword, Ronan activated his aura. The streaks of sunset-colored light shot towards the cliff, creating a surreal scene once again, mixing with the aurora.
But Elysia had already disappeared behind the cliff. Ronan laid Aradans body on the ground, reinforced with mana, causing his thigh to swell as if it would burst.
Damn it, I cant let this slip away.
R-Ronan!
Thump! Ronan leapt from her spot, leaving a confused Adeshan behind. He couldnt understand why they were calling him out and then avoiding him now. This time, he had to catch her no matter what.
Damn it, how far did she go?
With only five leaps, Ronan reached the cliff. Elysias figure was already so far away that it couldnt be seen clearly. However, footprints at regular intervals marked the path she had taken.
I told you to stop!
Although it seemed reasonable to wonder if such speed was possible, there was no choice but to pursue her determinedly. A bizarre chase ensued. Crash! Boom! Every time Ronan pounded the ground with each leap, large shards of ice flew up.
The strange pursuit continued for nearly an hour. The distance between Ronan and Elysia did not inexplicably narrow. Even when he thought he had caught up, he found himself far away when he came to his senses.
The icy landscape flew past rapidly on either side. As Ronan was about to leap again, he stopped in his tracks.
Huff Wh-Whats this?
Elysias figure was nowhere to be seen. Even the footprints that should have been marked on the snow were completely gone. Breathing heavily, he grabbed his forehead.
This cant be happening
He could boast that he had never once taken his eyes off her. Missing her was out of the question. Even the perfectly fine footprints were gone.
While pondering the strange phenomenon, Ronan was interrupted by a voice that sounded like it was on the verge of collapsing from behind.
I I caught you!
Adeshan.
Thump! Finally landing next to Ronan, she gasped for breath, her knees trembling. Carrying two backpacks in front and back slowed her down.
Sorry. It was such an important matter.
Haah No, its okay. It could be possible. Why did you suddenly stop?
Elysia disappeared. Theres no way this could happen.
He even waved his sword in the air, wondering if it was an illusion spell. But nothing happened except the sound of the blade cutting through the wind. Adeshan, who had been fiddling with her frozen hair, opened her mouth.
Hmm, it seems like a magic illusion, would you like to try swinging the sword? Since you can cut mana.
I just tried, but nothing happened.
Well, if thats the reason, it doesnt matter. And shes fine too.
Really?
Its a relief. If things had gone wrong, she would have died here.
His tone was calm, but his demeanor was not. Elysia raised an eyebrow. There was so much vigor oozing from Ronan that it made her fingertips tingle.
It seemed that blood couldnt be fooled after all. With a small, muttered remark, she lowered her head again.
Forgive me for my rudeness. I was only concerned about Ronans test and couldnt pay attention to your companion.
Its okay now. But what is this building for?
Ronan looked up at the triangular structure. A metal door was attached vertically to the ground. It gave off a similar impression to the ruins seen in Dainhar. Elysia explained.
Its a warehouse for storing plant seeds.
Seeds?
Yes. One of the ruins built during the brightest era of the world. It was built to prepare for destruction but was never used. Now Ive modified it to
Suddenly, Elysia trailed off. She seemed to have unintentionally mentioned a painful past. A faint melancholy hung over her beautiful face. Eventually, she spoke no more and turned away.
The introduction was long. Anyway, please follow me for now. Theres someone you need to meet.
Someone I need to meet?
Instead of answering, Elysia operated the mechanical device attached to the iron gate. Buttons numbered from 1 to 9 were densely packed on the square metal plate.
Beep Beep Beep As Elysia pressed the buttons in a specific order, the entrance opened. A long, narrow staircase led underground. Round lights were spaced evenly along the sides of the staircase, much brighter and easier on the eyes than torches. Ronan raised an eyebrow.
Are those magical lights?
No. Theyre items made by modifying a material called a light-emitting diode. Its also a practical technology.
Light emitting?
He couldnt quite grasp what she was saying. The two followed Elysia. Ronan, seeing the iron door from the side, exclaimed in amazement.
Why is it so thick?
The door, made of an unknown metal, looked sturdy enough to withstand even a dragons stampede. Adeshan, who was originally interested in such things, also sparkled beside him.
Wow
Anyway, the three continued on. It took nearly 20 minutes to descend the stairs. After passing through about three doors similar to the entrance, this time, a large, wide corridor appeared. It was brightly lit like daylight, probably using the same luminescent material mentioned earlier.
Elysia, I have a question
Later. Meeting him comes first.
Although there were countless questions, Elysia didnt respond to any of them. She just coldly promised to explain after meeting someone. While it was good to focus on the main topic, it felt a bit rushed. Greeting as she pleased, testing as she pleased, and now dragging him underground as she pleased.
Well, shell explain later.
With no other options, Ronan silently followed her. About 30 minutes passed. Elysia, stopping in front of a certain gate, turned to the two and said.
Were here. Absolutely no causing disturbances or touching anything.
Ronan raised an eyebrow. This door seemed different from the ones they had seen so far. It was much larger and seemed to be important, judging by the things attached to it.
Elysia operated the buttons on the wall. Fssshh the thick iron door opened to the sides.
A white gas, the composition of which was unknown, seeped out like mist. Ronan and Adeshans eyes widened as they saw the interior.
This!
Inside the vast room, filled with all kinds of machinery. A hazy glow filled the space, and various colored lines crawled on the floor like the roots of trees. The blue light cluster emanated from the glass tube in the center of the room.
Inside the liquid-filled glass tube floated a man. His face couldnt be seen as he leaned against the door, but his back was surprisingly familiar.
No way.
Suddenly, a shiver ran down Ronans spine. His heart began to race. As Elysia closed the door, she spoke.
Greet him. Hes our eternal Savior and the founder of Nebula Clazier. And
She paused for a moment. It was only for a moment, but it felt like an eternity. Wiping her lips, she spoke again.
Ronan, your father.
[TL/N: OMG its finally happening!!! Ronan finally found his father who went out to get some milk :ooo]
