The three of them traveled through the great forest. They didn't say much, even Luna didn't say a word.
Thanks to Luna's spell, Shadow Vision, she could see what was in the shadows. Fortunately, there was nothing worth warning about.
The walk was relatively uneventful, minus a certain someone....
'Camilla is a bit tense after what I told myself,' he thought, glancing at Camilla, who had an indifferent but somewhat tense expression.
[The Host makes the heroine, Camila Draco, feel a lot of confusion, frustration, and insecurities... The Host is rewarded with 5000 of Negative Mana].
'Oh, I see,' Theos felt a little confused. Was she that easy to psychologically damage?
But he shook his head. It wasn't his intention, but now he received more power. Why refuse the power? He had no intention of doing that...
"Hmm, Theos, I see something," Luna warned off to the side of him.
Theos raised his eyebrows. "What do you see?" he asked, quickly pulling out his Death Fragment.
His danger was near, he couldn't afford not to be ready to face it.
Even Camilla also drew her sword from her storage ring. A beautiful all-white, slim, elegant sword, six feet tall.
Watching as everyone pulled out their weapons, Luna frowned. "It's nothing dangerous, I don't see any enemies," she clarified.
Camila sighed in disappointment. 'We've been here for an hour and we still haven't found an enemy,' she thought.
She wanted to fight, to test her strength in the Forest of Treasures where few can survive. In her mind, she could increase her strength, both mentally and physically.
Instead, Theos just nodded. "Well, then what is it?"
Luna was silent at this question, her frown deepening deeper and deeper. "I don't know exactly... But it's an object, an object that conveys a shadowy aura..."
For some reason, her shadow vision could not approach that object, being like an impenetrable wall to her.
"There it is," Luna pointed.
Even before Luna pointed, Theos and Camila had fixed their eyes there because of how extremely striking it was.
"Looks like a meteorite fell here," Theos muttered, to which Camila nodded silently.
In front of them, they found a large hole in the black earth... Cracks were advancing on all sides, and the bottom of the hole couldn't even be seen, but an aura, like darkness and shadows itself, made it clear that there was something inside that hole.
"What do you think it is?" asked Luna to Theos.
Although she had an idea of what was inside the big hole in the ground, she wanted to know Theos' opinion.
And he said the same thing she thought.
"Possibly, inside the hollow is an item that has something, if not completely to do with shadows and darkness."
Hearing Theos' words, Luna smiled happily. However, she wasn't foolish to want to pounce into the hollow and get the item, no. She needed a strategy first.
But Camila spoke first. "I would recommend that she go in alone; even now, I'm feeling a little tired from the pressure; if she went in there, I'd possibly be crushed by the pressure."
Theos nodded, agreeing with Camila's words. Even he, despite wanting to go in with Luna, couldn't.
However, he was not going to leave Luna to her fate either.
Releasing a huge amount of negative energy from his hand, it was drawn into Luna's body, completely covering her body and protecting it.
"Good luck, this is a Mana aura, put some of your own Mana aura to make it more resistant and immune to the object's pressure," he advised.
According to him, the object exerted great pressure on any being that does not have an affinity for shadows or darkness. That made the negative aura not entirely viable, but if Luna put some of her aura on it, it might work.
She nodded, heeding him. She covered her body with her shadow mana aura, making her body many times stronger.
However, the object made another great whirring sound, carrying dozens of trees with it.
