62 – Power that surpasses the caster’s expectations

They left in search of the porter and Reina, but they were still advancing, slaughtering enemies that stood in their way.

-Seokkul.

As the holy sword severely cut through the body of the scorpion, the body rolled on the ground before the contents, and the corpses of the brothers who had gone earlier were lined up nearby.

“….”

-Chack.

The expression of the warrior who swung the holy sword to remove bodily fluids from the surface was not very bright.

A warrior who no longer sees the movement of the enemy moves his gaze to the place where his party members are.

“Prison.”

Dozens of force fields formed inside the bodies of the scorpions for a while, then disappeared and collapsed helplessly on the spot.

“This side is cleared.”

Turning her hand lightly, Talia asked while looking at the place where her saintess was.

“Saint. How is it there?”

-Charleuk.

“I finished this one too, Sister…”

Over her shoulder, she could see a mountain of scorpion carcasses.

She posted a record comparable to that of the hero and Talia, and her expression was arguably the worst of the three.

“Polaris, are you okay?”

A warrior who asks with a worried voice at the sight of the saintess whose complexion gets progressively worse as she goes deeper.

“…It’s okay, hero.”

Uncharacteristically for her, as she hesitated for a moment to answer her question, Talia opened her mouth as if she was bothered by her.

“It’s okay. Do you know how your face is now?”

– Perfect.

As she snapped her fingers, a chair made of a force field came to life, on which she sat Polaris.

“Thank you, sister.”

The warrior stared blankly at Polaris, who was sitting on the chair, and said.

“I think I need to get some rest.”

“That’s what I think. Seeing a saintess who would normally say, ‘No, Sister. I’m really fine’, comes out like that.”

“When do you say I did that….”

She makes a small protest with a creeping voice.

“I agree with you about that.”

“Until the warrior…”

She was in the mood to pretend she couldn’t win, but in fact, she wasn’t doing this because she was strong or because her holy power was consumed too much.

‘It’s so disgusting that I can never say that it’s like this….”

It’s true that his mental strength was weakened as a result of being fed up with the outward appearance of the pouring scorpions, but he had no problem fighting.

She just thought that while she was taking a break, she wouldn’t overdo the hero and Talia anymore, so she had no reason to refuse.

The three of them decided to take a short break and checked their condition.

“Hero. You haven’t used skills since a while ago. Are you lacking mana?”

“I think I should save some money.”

It seems that the warrior who used to use her skills on the way has finally learned to restrain herself after experiencing a situation where she couldn’t use her skills due to lack of mana.

“It would have been easier if there were a few strong enemies, but I would have struggled because there were so many… Talia. How are you?”

“Me? I’m still full. What’s the use of a wizard who can’t use skills?”

Polaris, who had recovered somewhat, intervened between them.

“By the way, what the heck are these ruins? It seems like a place beyond common sense.”

They had entered right above the middle floor where the porter and Reina were located.

‘It looks like it came down quite a bit, but I can’t even see a trace of it.’

It’s been a long time since I succeeded in approaching a near location through Talia’s magic, but there was no progress from there.

It is clearly stated that it is right below, but this place seems to be going down, but when you go there, it is connected to another area and is holding them back.

‘And I haven’t been feeling well since a while ago….’

A feeling of constant anxiety and nervousness.

Talia spoke to the hero who was fighting with her feelings for the first time.

“Hero. How far do you think the dwarf can go?”

“What? What do you mean by that?”

A hero who brings up the story of Reina out of nowhere and asks back as if she were puzzled.

“It’s true that a lot of men have been messing around with the dwarves so far.”

“It was… it was.”

Anyway, since the saintess and the archmage were widely known externally, they were famous as individuals even if they did not know about the warrior party.

However, since they were in the realm of inviolability, it is only natural that men who were just looking at them would turn their eyes to Reina, whom they saw for the first time.

“Why do you think that was?”

Seeing her asking quite persistently, the hero answered while feeling strange.

“Why are you doing this… Isn’t that because among us there’s a possibility?”

Then Talia shook her head.

“An elf is an elf. Do you know how the perception of elves spreads in the world?”

“Um…”

Since it was a sensitive topic, the warrior’s mouth opened after careful consideration.

“Isn’t it a race that maintains youth for a long time and is beautiful for all ages?”

Considering their lifespan, physical abilities, and sensitivity to spirits, it is clear that they are a race that far surpasses humans.

Of course, there are also disadvantages such as her hatred for humans and her lack of fertility, but she didn’t bother talking about it because one of her colleagues was the elf Reina.

“That’s right. Outwardly, it’s very good.”

Reluctantly admitting that she didn’t like it, Talia went on to bring up her interesting subject.

“There was a race preference survey at the Mage Tower before. Do you know what the results were for humans?”

“How was it…?”

“Polaris?”

Polaris, who had approached before I knew it, was listening to her.

She was forced to lead an ascetic life, but she couldn’t say she wasn’t interested, so she couldn’t pass up this opportunity.

“It was the elves who achieved the second highest score after their own kind. Even the first place humans were not much different.”

“Oh my God…”

Polaris exudes admiration for having an open mind that transcends races.

“…What the heck is the Mage Tower usually doing?”

To the sharp hero’s question, Talia answered while averting her gaze.

“If the thesis is rejected or there is no progress, I will do something else…”

‘The Magic Tower was also a place where people lived.’

The more you know, the more you get away from the mysterious tower, but that wasn’t the point, so I went back to the main topic.

“But why did you bring that up?”

She really didn’t know, so she asked, but Talia said, patting her chest as if she was frustrated with such a hero.

“Think carefully, the hero. The porter and the goblin. Aren’t they getting along a bit lately?”

If the porter heard it, she was serious and said something that would have gotten her an apology from Talia, but the hero didn’t seem to think so.

“It certainly seems that way… Come to think of it, it seems that the porter’s eyes were always on Reina’s ear…”

“Isn’t it? I wasn’t the only one who felt that way.”

If there was anything wrong with the porter, it was that he couldn’t stand his prominent ears, but he wasn’t present to correct the misunderstanding.

“Above all, I keep feeling insecure. It feels like there’s something between the two of us. My woman’s touch is telling me that.”

Hearing that, the hero couldn’t help but be surprised.

‘A woman’s touch? So this is what I’m worried about….’

While the Hero and Talia were driving him away, Polaris spoke with confidence.

“Um… Sister? But, brother, that’s not what you’re supposed to do.”

As she defended her porter, Talia looked straight at her.

“Saint. All men are beasts.”

It was a story she heard in the past while she was receiving her education in her mage tower.

-Listen carefully, Talia. All men in the world are beasts.

-Then are grandpas also animals?

-It used to be like that.

-At one time? So what now?

-Let’s finish today’s class….

In the end, she never heard the reason.

‘Grandpas. He had very sad eyes at that time.’

While she is looking for answers in the past. Polaris has refuted.

“But there are cases like the hero.”

Because the hero has never had a problem with them.

Of course, there was a shocking incident in which the hero personally scooped food for her, but her reason eventually interpreted the action as a sign of friendship.

– Glance.

Talia glanced at the hero at Polaris’ words.

From noble mtl dot com

“That, there are heroes… No. I’ll tell you later.”

Talia, who had put it off until later, even for Polaris’ sake, spoke her opinion.

“Anyway, hero. I have an idea.”

Although she was a warrior, she now dimly noticed that when she looked at her condition she was not of normal opinion.

“…Tell me.”

Unfortunately, the hero was also unable to have a normal accident.

I came close, but in a situation where there is no progress. Worried about what the porter and Reina were doing together, they became impatient and made a plan they wouldn’t normally do.

“Let’s just break it.”

“Yes? Breaking it down? Sister, what is that…”

“Our current location is here, and there is a porter below it.”

There was a black dot not too far from the red dot on Thalia’s spell.

“…It might be late, so it might be worth a try.”

In the end, even the hero agreed.

“Wouldn’t it be difficult to break it though? The floor here was fine despite the warrior’s attack.”

As Polaris said, the floor did not break despite the hero’s skill.

It was a plan that was close to impossible.

“Don’t worry, I learned something new this time.”

With that, Talia put her hand on the floor and began to concentrate.

“Is this okay…?”

Her chant flowed from Talia’s mouth, her back as she reluctantly agreed with her.

“Earthquake.”

The mana mixed with her land swayed, and she soon built up the momentum.

Although she tried to use it only slightly stronger than when she revealed the entrance to the ruins.

“Talia?”

There were two things she overlooked.

One was that the Earthquake skill was different from the earth attribute magic.

“Sister?”

The second is that she is currently in a very emotional state, with her talent as a wizard outstanding.

“Oh, what?”

Those two combined, Earthquake’s power far exceeded her expectations.

-Deuded.

Soon after, the entire ruins began to vibrate.
