275 Lesson 274

"I didn't expect to see you guys in a place like this. What the hell are you doing here?

Largil asks the Atals questions with a spare look.

"That's just what I want to hear. What the hell are you doing in a place like this?"

Cold expressions Ataru does not answer questions and returns them with questions.

"Ha, he's the same busy one. I've come to a place like this for a reason... but I have no reason to tell you that"

Largil answers with a slight attitude, not showing the same frustration as before.

"Well, I don't ask why. Let's change the question. - Was this temple and the surroundings your fault?

It is said that there are gods and similar things in the temple. But I don't feel that presence.

Furthermore, we do not see a junction that should be guarding the temple.

"If that question, let's answer it. Exactly. They call it a sacred temple? But it just adds a little bit of strength to it."

I don't have any bad looks on Largil, who shouts his shoulder down like a jerk.

"... Lady Largil, by the side of it. I was wondering if I had achieved my purpose yet."

In a quiet tone, Meer gives Largil an ear punch.

Apparently they had come here with some purpose and had already achieved it.

"Uh, yeah, he was. He was. Then let's just call it a day. I was wondering if you guys should check this place out. Bye!

When Largil said so in a teasing tone, the spirits that had existed before appeared and put Largil, Meer, and the demons in the Devil's Forest on their backs, they flew, impetuously breaking through the ceiling and flying away.

"Damn, you let him get away with it!

Their speed is considerable, and Atal stirs frustration and complains as he looks at the breached ceiling.

"Dear Atal! Come here, please!

Caro was checking his surroundings after the Largills flew away and was discovering something.

"Is something wrong... - This is"

'You seem pretty weak. If you don't heal soon, it's too late.'

Lying there was someone putting together a robe with a light water squid face.

"Seems so."

By the time I said so, I had already pointed a rifle loaded with recovery bullets at the squid.

And shoot the bullet.

When the squid's body was wrapped in light, the wound healed and the complexion improved.

"... ugh, yeah"

Then the squid seems to have regained consciousness and slowly opens his eyes.

"What the hell am I... Ha! The one just now! What about you guys?

He woke up shaking his eyelids. The squid looked around vigorously as he woke up on the way.

The one just now is about Largil and he seems a little confused because he looks around but the first thing that got into his eyes was the appearance of the Atals.

"The ones earlier flew away with a big hole in the ceiling. We're just adventurers with a little connection to Largil."

Atal explains once and for all, the squid had just woken up and still didn't seem to have his head on the situation.

"Hey, what? Caused by the Demons? That's just an adventurer? You think you're an adventurer when you've come all the way to this place?

The squid is making the confusion even stronger because it is an incredible situation. I was even beginning to suspect that the Ataru were untrustworthy people.

"Let's calm down a little. My name is Ataru, the Beast Man over here is Caro, and that one's Balkias, and that's Ifria flying there."

Atal thinks about getting a little faith in ourselves by calmly introducing ourselves.

Each of the introduced caros reacted, drawing on the intentions of the atar to try to de-alert the squid.

"... I'm Clark. I am the protector of this temple. Looks like you got help as far as the situation goes...... And yet I'm sorry for imitating you like you're asking - and thank you."

Clark regains his composure and speaks out of apology and gratitude as to whether Ataru's attitude played a role.

"Can I ask you to explain the situation? I can predict that Largil may have attacked us, just in case."

Clark nods small at Atal's words and remembers what happened.

"As usual I was sitting on the throne of this temple. I had recently felt that the temple's junction had weakened, but still never allowed an external intrusion, so I was going to wait for confirmation..."

Clark regrets that it was a failure.

"Perhaps that was Largil's work. I guess I was gradually weakening the powerful junction to the point where it could be lifted. And with the disarm, we entered the temple."

Clark nods with a bitter look at Atal's predictions.

"Damn right, my outlook was too sweet. That's why I'm going to forgive that devil."

From Clark, who gripped his fist hard, comes remorse.

"Just being a guardian, they seem to have a lot of power. Were those guys that strong?

Ataru, who had fought Largil before, didn't seem as defensive as a defenseman would lose.

Besides, the Largills didn't seem to have been hurt one. That was the question.

"Oh, the Demon Man was strong indeed, but the Demon Woman I was with... he was the trouble. I have the power to destroy the world, and my power has been sealed."

Meer, the demonic woman - perhaps she unbound the temple and created a wall that she couldn't pass along, sealing Clark's power.

Clark, who actually confronted him, remembered that time and stiffened his expression.

"I see, because we never fought that woman... so what was their purpose?

If you're going to kill Clark, the protector, you don't use the words "served your purpose," etc.

If so, I could have expected to have tried to get something.

"Oh, he took the [water jewel] that was dedicated to this temple. I hear that was what they were after. That was a treasure passed down to this temple from generation to generation..."

He seemed heartbroken by the fact that he was the protector of several generations and had been deprived of the treasure he had always protected.

"I see... but what are you doing with that?

"Oh, that treasure ball holds tremendous power. Probably trying to use that for something.... because he said what the research was about."

Research - Largil's words were something I had spoken before when I met him, something that made me feel bad about it.
