427 The Spirit of the earth dwells, the great stone.

"Good. Haven't they got their hands on it?"

"Hey, Tanatos. What is this place? If you think you've come in pretty far, you've got a pretty big spiritual stone."

"Oh, this is the great stone inhabited by the Spirit of the earth that our warriors of Atmos worship"

"Is this what it is? I was wondering if that was the black stone the Brillian demons were mining. Look, it's about the wand and the one you used for the demon weapon."

"Oh, that one? That would certainly be one of them. But the spirits of the earth that live here are overwhelmingly small compared to the great stones."

"I see. You're really big. Isn't it many times more than [Atmos Wall]?

As a post-processing in Atmos, I locked up those who surrendered for now, and I was looking around inside with Tanatos.

I was going to check to see if there was anyone else hiding or something strange.

But after a while, Tanatos told me.

He wants to go see what's important in the back.

I walked around the valley and came to where Tanatos said I was going to see the symbols in Atmos.

There was a big black spiritual stone there.

Big enough rock to be about 300m tall, according to what I saw pah.

It's also quite thick, and it has an upright boulder that looks rectangular.

It's a black rock about the height of the Tokyo Tower.

There is certainly an overwhelming presence to see.

It was somewhat understandable that the warriors of Atmos would worship and serve this by saying, "The Spirit of the earth dwells and is a great stone".

Perhaps the Brillian Demonic Power also wanted to bring home this huge spiritual stone when it occupied the Atmos.

But I guess it was just impossible to bring home a boulder this big.

For investigation, there are signs of ladders, etc., but they were now abandoned.

Plus the spiritual stones I used as canes and demonic weapons were smaller than this.

I think it would have been more efficient to recover spiritual stones of affordable size than large ones that you can't take home if you just used them realistically.

"... Something like that. The air in here looks like a labyrinth."

"Labyrinth?"

"Oh, yeah. You've been in there once with Tanatos, haven't you? We just rode into Valkyrie, attacked the labyrinth, and then went into a cavernous place that led down to the basement."

"... over there. I see. Right. They may be a little similar if you do say so. There wasn't as much magic there as there was inside."

"That's right. The terrain is very different in this great valley and underground cave, but it is similar that the magic concentration is higher than normal. Maybe this Atmos inside is a kind of labyrinth."

Somehow, I thought so.

I've felt it since I walked into Atmos, Tanatos' hometown, but there's so much magic in the air that I come near this big spiritual stone.

It was similar to continuing to dive through the labyrinth and becoming so intense in magic that it went deep.

With that said, I remember a story I asked Gran before.

There are many people in the East beyond Mount Big Snow, there are many countries, and demons are rarely seen.

When I heard the story, I had doubts.

They say there are no demons, but then they wonder if the labyrinth is in the East.

In conclusion, it can be said that there is a labyrinth, or not.

Because there used to be a place called the Labyrinth, where demons also lived.

but the labyrinth in the East says almost everything has been attacked.

Labyrinth attack.

It meant the banishment of demons in the labyrinth.

This world is not the world of games.

Naturally, people and demons are alive.

In other words, some of the labyrinths that were in the Labyrinth Street were inhabited by demons, but those are demons that live and reproduce in the Labyrinth, not monsters that will come back to life indefinitely at some point when they defeat them.

Therefore, if a person continues to enter the labyrinth and continue to exorcise demons, it is not impossible to extinct demons in the labyrinth.

And in the East it materialized in many labyrinths.

As a result, what happened to the labyrinth remained a place of intense magic.

This dramatically reduced the chances of obtaining demonic material for humans living in the East, but there are some that have been brought about instead.

It had the effect of making it easier to get Demon Stones.

Demonic stones are easier to obtain in places with strong magic concentrations.

Because of this, it is a peculiarity called a labyrinth with particularly high magic concentrations, and when it exorcises and extincts many demons that were attracted to it, it is possible to obtain demonic stones in a safe and stable manner.

In fact, the story is that in the East, large countries usually own attacked labyrinths.

And wasn't one of them in this Atmos?

Perhaps the "great stone in which the Spirit of the earth dwells", which the warriors of Atmos worship, is also to be said of the nucleus of the labyrinth.

And the warriors of Atmos, who live by such a labyrinth nucleus and continue to build their bodies from an early age, will gain the magic of giancy by experiencing certain rituals.

Talk to Tanatos says he drinks spiritual water and dots that exhilarate his mood before dueling between warrior apprentices of his age.

That duel is intense, or that some people lose their lives in rituals?

But when the Spirit of the earth dwells in such a fierce and valiant battle and devotes himself before a great stone, he will gain power as a warrior of Atmos when he is recognized by the Spirit Stone.

... Let's not ask what kind of drink is Spirit Water.

I'm sure we've got a mechanism in place to inherit the technology of giantization in our long history.

Well, it's a shame that this giant spiritual stone was still there at any rate.

It would not be impossible to rebuild the interior of Atmos even if they had mined the earthly attribute Demon Stone named Little Spirit Stone.

That's what I thought when I saw Tanatos' delightful face.
