975 Underground City Guardian

Thrastal, with his eyes on my account.

Oops. Looks like you didn't explain it enough.

As I watched the giants of the ancestral race, I supplemented them.

The ancestral giant, the guardian of the ruins of the underground city, wanted to hear my story, and quietly asked how I was doing.

"I was wondering when Mistral told me that the giants were ancestors." The ancestors we know are all incalculably powerful, intelligent and thoughtful. However, the ancestors who appeared in the ruins of this underground city were neither intelligent nor strong. "

"Are you saying that you're not strong!?" Besides, do you know other people like the Guardian? "

Thrastal is exaggerating, but the dull and monotonous movement of the Guardian during the rampage was too shoddy for the Giant Demon King and Charlotte. No matter how devastating the magic or power, it doesn't matter if it doesn't hit you.

However, the magic that instantly petrified the gods after recovering reason was amazing enough to feel fear.

If you were releasing that kind of magic so easily, you wouldn't think it was a great army of demons.

After all, it was just the power that made me think that I was the original ancestor.

By the way, it's called the Original Clan.

I have taught Thrastal, who seems to have no knowledge of the ancestral race, basic information about the ancestral race.

Thrastal, while listening to my explanation, begins to feel unnecessarily confused for some reason.

"Kii, what kind of journey have you guys been on and what have you been through?"

It seems that not only our knowledge of the ancestral race, but also our knowledge of multiple ancestral races, has exceeded the scope of Thrasher's common sense.

That said, we have a lot of demon acquaintances, so we have no choice but to parry Thrasher's confusion.

I'm traveling to various areas with shooting stars.

And when I say it, I'm actually being taken around by Ernea-kun, "said Rooiseine's eyes.

So, you know what the original ancestors are like, and you've moved to bring the Guardians back to normal.

That's right, I'm also good at making mistakes.

The power of a spirit tree has the opposite nature to that of a sacrifice. You have the power to activate vitality and cleanse the world.

I thought that I could take advantage of the traits of the spirit tree to bring back the guardian who had lost his ego by taking in too much of the curse-like decay.

And I had the means to do that.

The young branch of the spirit tree and the spirit sword that mediated it.

With Ares' help, I was convinced that the Guardian would be satisfied.

But didn't you think the Guardian had completely absorbed the impurity and become an incomprehensible being?

Having heard of the birth of the ancestral race from me, Thrastal asked if it would continue to absorb the negative feelings around him after birth and change to a different nature.

I denied it.

Hmmm. As far as I know, the ancestors will continue to absorb the negative emotions around them after birth.

The ancestors possessed unparalleled magic power and deep wisdom at the time of their birth. However, the various abilities acquired before birth are not acquired after birth in the same way.

The true ruler of the demon race and Charlotte also had the power to overpower others at the time of their birth, and it was said that they went on a rampage. However, I've never heard of you gaining more power by capturing the nervousness and negative emotions that should have arisen at that time.

In other words, it is believed that the enthusiasm that the guardian took in after birth is only an external element, and there is no possibility to absorb it and change the existence itself.

That's why I thought I could bring the ancestral giants back to life if I could get an outside gift.

And as I thought, the Guardian regained his ego and his natural intelligence.

"I see. But that was your idea and you didn't explain it to the others, did you?" At that moment, did you understand his thoughts? "

Everyone in the women's group who had been questioned by Thrasher nodded naturally.

“It's always the case that Ernesto does something at a time like this.”

and Mistral says,

You seem to have been thinking about something from the beginning, so I'll just trust you to do the rest.

and Ruysseyne exclaimed unabashedly.

After that, everyone judged how easy it was for me to move around and took on my role.

Yufilia, Nina, and Cefina let go of the dragon spell and kept the herd of monsters away from me. Nimia pulled Ceol away from Thrastal while protecting Rooisseine and Madeline. So that Thrastal can tell me his secret. Besides, Mistral bought us time against the runaway ancestral giants.

You don't have to say anything, everyone can help each other. That is the strength of our family. [M]

Of course, even Lila, who isn't here, is doing her part.

"Hmph. You are a human race, but you have manipulated dragon magic and spirit magic, and you have taken the warrior of the Dragon Man race and the dragon race of ancient species as your allies." Thou hast saved the land from destruction, not only my soul. Let's thank you again. "

The guardian who listened to us quietly softens the blue light in his eyes. I guess that was a sign of gratitude from the Guardian.

"No, I'm sorry that I caused the underground city to get into a bit of a ruckus."

If we had noticed Nguyen's real plan earlier, we might have stood up better. For Nguyen, who was a former god general and wanted to eliminate the ethnicity that organized the Emperor Venerable Mansion, he really didn't want to take the trouble of diving through the gates of Hades and visiting the underground city. So, if we had moved so that we could get out of Ethnide before we dived through the gates of Hades, we might have been able to avoid damaging the ruins of the underground city.

Apologizing, the Guardian shook his head slowly.

"No. If thou hadst not visited this land, I would have remained rampant. You undoubtedly saved me."

I'm honestly glad to be thanked by those who protect what's important. I am proud that my strength has helped me to protect, and my sense of accomplishment is satisfied.

I honestly received your gratitude.

"Now. Thrastal's questions may still exist, but they can't be too long, can they?"

The mysterious landscape in the underground space was so lovely that I wanted to see it all the time.

But we don't have much time left.

You're going after Nguyen, aren't you?

I nod to Mistral's words.

"Fitting us in and trying to achieve our own goals is too good for the bugs." I have to make sure that you follow me thoroughly before I drop. "

I don't think we're going to interfere with what kind of mission Nguyen was on, or what part of Ethnide was suddenly attacked. However, I can't forgive you for choosing a choice that everyone would be troubled by and using us to escape.

My whole family, not just me, is willing to go after Nguyen.

However, there are still some troubles remaining.

"Well, we broke the underground city..."

Doesn't the Guardian get angry?

Apart from what you saved me from, I won't allow you to leave the basement without breaking it. What should I do if I'm told? And I asked the guardian how he looked. Then the Guardian laughed as he shook his throat.

"Don't worry. When the demons broke in, the city was rough instead of this ratio."

But when we arrived, it was a beautiful city, wasn't it?

As if to answer my question, the back of the Guardian's eyes glowed.

As it swells, the ground of the destroyed section swells up.

As we watched, the swell from the ground began to take shape.

That's it!

The same black rock skin as the Guardian. Inside the joints and rock seams, you can see red lava fluid.

Countless black rock dolls appeared that attacked us as monsters.

I see. Wasn't that monster... the Rock Doll belongs to the Guardian?

"Yes, I'll leave it to them, and the city will be restored."

From the side of the Guardian, the Rock Puppets were starting to rebuild.

When you clear the scattered debris, you can create stone and repair buildings and cobblestones.

I wonder if the Guardian's special abilities as an ancestor were able to manipulate rocks and rocks at will? And looking at the rock doll, Madeline called out.

"Ernest, I know we don't have much time." If you don't mind, just give me a moment. ”

Madeline-sama, what's wrong?

"Yes, I was looking at that rock doll and I thought, They are now inhabitants of underground cities. However, there used to be a group of people living here called the Dark Clan. I want to face my fate and send a message of condolence to the Destroyed Serenity.”

"Yes, I would like to return with a prayer to the Dark Ones."

When the curse began to spread, the Hidden Clan, which remained underground by the seal, perished without anyone knowing. Maybe you haven't even received your last prayer.

As a shrine maiden, I understood the desire to send the deceased to the goddess's lap.

"If so, go." The tombs of the Dark Ones are there. "

Perhaps Madeline's thoughts were received, but when the Guardian raised his upper body, he pointed to the roots of the huge pillar.

We thanked and hurried to the base of the pillar.

Thrastal accompanied us silently.

Running up the hill on the main street, you reach a large park with grass.

At the deepest part of the park, a large black stone slab stretched out like the roots of a large tree.

We went to the place where the tablet stood, and looked up with a good breath. [M]

You've carved out the names of the Dark Ones, right?

The black stone tablet looked up, and the names of countless people were firmly carved in it.

The Guardian must have bequeathed the names of the last inhabitants of the Underground City.

"Now, ladies and gentlemen, let's pray. So that the hermits could travel to the goddess's lap in peace. I wish him peace in his land forever."

Focusing on Madeline and Louiseine, we quietly offer our prayers.

It is said that a wide variety of races gathered at the root of the spirit tree and lived peacefully. Humans, elders, gods, demons, and spirits. Without distinction, people who took hands with each other as a "hidden race" and survived with pride until the end. I pray to see you off at the end and wish you peace.

As the representative of the clan that has been guarding the gates of Hades, Thrastal was also seriously praying.

He's a winged man, not a follower of the Temple Religion. But the thought of mourning for the deceased seems to be the same regardless of race.

"Your prayers will have reached his people. I thank them on their behalf."

At the end of the prayer, the Guardian called out from above.

"There are still things that you have to accomplish, right?" Then go. Do what you have to do. "

Guardian pointing to the exit of the underground city.

We beg while riding on the big Nimir's back.

I was running out of time, so I had no choice but to put Thrasher on it. Ceol was still unconscious in Nemea's hands.

"Um, just one last thing." What will happen to the people of the God tribe? "

As the Emperor Venerable Mansion, the Divine Clans dived through the gates of Hell with purpose. They were instantly turned to stone by the Guardian who had regained his reason.

As far as I'm concerned, they want to be taken out of the basement. Of course, you'll get what you deserve when you get back on the ground.

Besides, if you leave me here, my efforts to save everyone will be wasted in half!

However, the Guardian was strict in that regard.

"Leave me alone. You have saved me." The Winged, who were unconscious, were spared by Thrastal. However, those who dived through the gates of hell with harmful intentions should not be overlooked. "

The Imperial Venerable Mansion did not dive through the gates of Hell to target the ruins of the underground city. But we were going to use this land first.

As the protector of the underground city where the Phoenix lived, it seems that the only enemy to be eliminated is the one who wreaks havoc from the outside.

We chose to leave the petrified gods behind and return to Earth, according to the wishes of the Guardians.
