53. It was me

The basement was much wider than I thought.

When I only saw it at the entrance, I wondered why the hell was I wandering here.

Going down a little further, an endless cavity protruded.

“… It doesn’t seem very deep, is this possible?”

“It is huge. Even if we can’t do it, thousands of people will be able to come in here.”

Listen to the knights and check the wall.

There is nothing, I can’t feel anything.

That said, this place is just part of an extremely simple entrance.

It means nothing more and nothing less.

It’s such an outrageous scale from the beginning.

I guessed roughly because it was the capital of an ancient kingdom.

This may have come to a greater place than I thought.

“Master. I can’t even see it as the beginning yet, but it’s incredibly wide.”

Iris also accurately said, ‘This is not a big deal.’

It means that beyond this there is something incomparable to today.

So I looked at my surroundings with my senses expanded as much as possible.

“Are you nervous?”

“Master? Weren’t you waiting outside?”

“I was going to do that, but I think that would be more boring. I came in.”

“It would have been better to just wait outside….”

“Your words are really strange. It’s inconvenient for me to accompany you, are you saying?”

“Absolutely not. I just want Master to be in this dark and shady basement….”

“Don’t worry. It’s like a palace compared to the place where I practiced at the closed hall.”

… That’s not what’s important.

After letting out a sigh, I glanced at Iris.

It means that there is something wrong with Master following you.

Then Iris lightly shrugged her shoulders once.

Anyway, it seems that Master followed him like this even in the future he went through.

“Master. The road continues inward.”

“Let’s go. I can’t feel any trace of Iris, but there’s no other way than that.”

“Okay. Everyone continues to move in a state of maximum alertness.”

Gerard’s knights responded loudly to Gerard’s command.

At the same time, they began to surround me and her party in a chaotic manner.

“… That’s cute.”

“Still, forming formations is cool.”

Perhaps they have their own protective formations.

Unfortunately, rather than protecting us.

Conversely, it’s the plate we have to protect those knights.

Even Iris would be stronger than them.

“hahahaha.”

Is Gerard aware of my intentions?

He laughs embarrassingly, but he doesn’t stop his subordinates.

No, if I had tried to stop him, I would have stopped Gerard.

Whether the opponent is stronger or weaker than me.

I just do my job regardless of that.

Dedicated to the masters of the warriors they follow and their companions.

As a knight, they are doing their best.

There is no need to force facts into the authors.

“… I see something ahead.”

I must have walked for about 30 minutes.

Finally, the scenery in front of us gradually began to change.

Pictures appear one by one on the empty wall.

Something twinkles on the empty ceiling, as if a star was planted there.

The only light is probably the torch you’re holding here.

Something that happened was in the process of emitting light on its own.

It wasn’t just that.

Microscopic halos of light appeared out of nowhere.

They started to stay around as if they were wary of us who suddenly came in.

Chaeeng! Visor!-

The knights nearby drew their swords in unison.

It looks too much like a creature to be called a normal halo.

They have fought against monsters and monsters under Gerard’s command.

Of course, if you show a reaction like that, you’re bound to be wary.

“Everyone, lower your sword.”

But Gerard stops them.

As expected, he is a warrior of a different level.

He seems to have noticed that the halos are only wary and not hostile.

“… It’s amazing. Same with that glow. Like the lights in the ceiling.”

“Isn’t it like a star, Master?”

“Okay. It seems to me that I am looking at a luminous pearl.”

“When you say luminous ball, do you mean the glowing sphere you mentioned last time?”

“Yes. It looks like the one up there.”

Maybe they’re not similar, but they’re right.

The main world view of the game is clearly fantasy.

However, the developer mixed other genres into it.

The ancient kingdoms, which mainly served as dungeons, were such a setting.

“Master. Those halos disappear somewhere.”

The direction where the lights disappeared was the direction we had to go.

I want to find another way, but there was only one way in the first place.

“I guess I will have to follow them.”

“I guess so. Stay vigilant and move slowly.”

“Okay. Everyone, keep the status quo and move.”

In preparation for an emergency, the knights gradually widen the distance.

There may be traps lurking in places like this.

Because of that, I could see that their decisions and actions were the right ones.

“Iris.”

At this point, let’s listen to the opinion of the regressor.

“This is my first time at a place like this. How is it. Are you interested? Or not.”

“Why are you asking such a stupid question?”

Teacher said something as if he felt that my question was very strange.

I don’t know what kind of guy would come to a place like this and find it interesting.

That’s what you meant, but I didn’t mean to ask.

“It is not pleasant. But… I can not help it. After all, there is only one road.”

Not pleasant. That means something not very good is about to happen.

But I can’t help it, means I have to endure it.

I was able to see that it was possible to organize in this way.

Took-.

“Hmm?”

The knight who was walking in front of me suddenly lowered his body.

Then he picks up something from the ground and hurries to Gerard.

“Hero. No matter how you look at this….”

“… The scabbard is too good to be just sitting in a place like this.”

Gerard steps up to me and shows me what the knight found.

I don’t know who it belongs to, but if I had to pick one thing for sure.

It was definitely not something that could be found in such an underground cavity.

“Seeing that there wasn’t much dust, it must have been dropped by one of Iris’ people.”

“Could there have been a battle in this area?”

“That’s not it, baby.”

The answer was given by the master next to me.

The atmosphere of the knights changed a bit strangely the moment they called the hero of the guardian ‘baby’.

I soon bow my head knowing that the opponent is a being who respects even the warrior’s teacher.

“There are no traces of battle.”

“Is there any possibility that someone cleaned it up, Master Tae?”

“It is foolish. Are you underestimating your sister-in-law too much? Baby Both you and that child are the ones my disciple taught with all his heart and soul. You can erase the traces, but you can’t erase all the energy buried there. But don’t you feel anything?”

As Master said, if a battle had taken place, Iris would have stepped in.

A disciple who is hot-tempered but would be sad if he went second.

His personality is so fiery that even Garam shakes his head.

If a guy like that fought, the traces of it would have been very strong.

Even if I erased it, I couldn’t get rid of all the energy from the traces.

And recognizing that is not difficult for me or for Master.

But now, Iris’ energy was nowhere to be felt.

Except for leaving her own aura at her entrance.

I went inside and couldn’t find any trace or energy.

If the opponent is a demon fragment, there is a certain possibility that he will erase all of them.

However, Iris didn’t seem too worried.

That doesn’t mean there was a big battle.

Iris also thought she was a monster’s lair, so she left energy at her entrance.

It was highly likely that she didn’t feel the need to leave any more energy after that.

“If so, why on earth would you put things in a place like this….”

“Hero. I found a few more things from the front.”

“Are these all presumed to be belongings of those who followed the warriors?”

“Yes. Even that number is growing.”

The articles brought by the knights were all sorts of miscellaneous things, starting with the sheath.

I didn’t see any weapons, I did see some backpacks, but that was it.

“… Master. What the hell is this?”

Gerard looked a little taken aback by the completely unexpected situation.

There is no sign of battle, but people have all disappeared.

I had never experienced anything like this before, so it was natural for me to panic.

“….”

I turn my gaze back to Iris.

The guy didn’t show much agitation, just looked beyond the halo of light.

“For now, let’s keep moving. There is only one road, and if they are somewhere here, they will meet.”

“Okay. I will follow Master’s wishes.”

While Gerard went to set off his party again.

Leaving Master behind for a while, I approached Iris.

“Iris.”

“Master. This is one of the things you said to me in the past. Don’t panic even if you’re embarrassed.”

“… It certainly has.”

“Suddenly, that word came to my mind.”

Iris’ expression and voice that I’ve never seen before are serious.

It seems that there is something clearly beyond this.

From noble mtl dot com

Don’t panic even if you’re embarrassed, actually, it was close to nonsense.

Even so, seeing Iris say that, I wonder if there’s something that even confuses me.

Tabaktabak-.

The party continues to move forward.

Then, the clusters of lights that stayed in front of me suddenly change direction and fly in this direction.

The beams of light scattered in all directions before they even reacted.

And in between, a hazy fog begins to spread.

At first, I thought this was something, but the moment I say something, my vision blurs in an instant.

As if an unbearable flood came rushing in and I couldn’t open my eyes.

“… What do you mean by this?”

I didn’t even notice this change, let alone Master.

I wonder if this is possible, a change that even the Heavenly Demon did not notice.

A moment of embarrassment filled me up, but I was able to recall Iris’s words.

– Even if you are embarrassed, don’t panic. –

In the meantime, the whole world finally turned hazy and the vision was cut off.

All I could see was myself, and everyone next to me had disappeared.

Look down. As expected, there was a hazy fog under my feet.

I don’t think it’s because I stretched out my feet and then I fell somewhere deep.

Can’t feel anything, can’t figure out anything.

It’s just the world full of fog and dim light.

In a situation where all you can see is that.

In front of me, something vaguely appeared.

At first I thought it was one of the group.

So I cautiously moved my steps and approached the area.

– That’s…. –

You can’t hear it, but it screams at the sky.

Knock on the ground and do all kinds of sh*t, then stand up as if you’ve made up your mind.

Then find someone and kneel in front of him.

After that, they gossip chopping firewood, fetching water, and doing all sorts of other things.

Then he finally started to learn something from the woman.

A man.

– It’s me. –

It must have been.

That was definitely the ‘me’ after falling into this world.
