CH 284

“Chapter 284: Blue Spark”

Thanks to Ralph’s speed, we managed to reach the bottom in a couple of minutes.

It was so dark that I couldn’t see anything, but I could feel it in my fingers. This is Unbreakable.

– Ralph.

– Yes, sir.

(This place seems… not active. At least for now)

I don’t know if the Unbreakable is the solidified magma from a previous explosion or the submarine volcano itself, but it’s clear that we’re surrounded by Unbreakable.

It should be only near the crater, but as far as Ralph could see, there was no crater. Perhaps it was covered during an eruption.

We’re not at risk of getting caught up in one, at least.

So, why is the ecosystem getting altered?

(Whatever… We should focus on our task)

We have to find the best spot to break it, but being so deep underwater makes this rather challenging.

In fact, there doesn’t seem to be such a spot.

– Ralph, do you think you could crack the Unbreakable in our current conditions?

– If it was on land, or if Arueetel or Selfia were here, I could.

Unleashing a full-force attack on the Unbreakable could leave me unprotected from any beast for a few seconds. We shouldn’t take any risks.

– Let’s keep looking for a little longer. We can change our plan if we have to… Hm? (Takaya)

– What is it?

– I thought I saw a blue light far away…

It was in the corner of my eye for an instant.

– Whatever. Don’t worry.

Ralph is pretty much the perfect adventurer. If he hasn’t detected the presence of an enemy yet, it has to have been my imagination.

Still, I feel something cold running down my neck…

– Takaya?

– Ralph, I think we should stop this.

【――……―・―・・・―――】

– What!? (T/R)

A large snake with black scales and a giant eyeball made its way past Ralph and approached me.
