## Chapter 1223 – Shurdik Great Desert
The most important thing is:
To stand on your tiptoes, like a ballerina.
And in that grand jeté pose!!!!
Use your left foot as a drill!!!
—KWAANG!!!!
Kick off the ground powerfully with your right foot to rotate your body!!!
—Spinning around and around!!!
Extreme speed.
“KIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!!”
My body began to spin at a crazy speed. At the same time, I unleash my powerful Destructive Heavenly Force at my toes! With that, I became a transcendent, invincible crushing drill!!!!
Yuna Kim’s inhuman secret technique unfolds.
—KU-KWA-KWA-KWA-KWANG!!!
In an instant, my body bores into the rocky ground. No. This isn’t just boring in. It’s like an elevator going from a high floor to a low floor. Extremely naturally. And naturally descending.
My intense Heavenly Devil Drill pierces the ground, guiding me down below!!! This is Yuna Kim’s ultimate secret technique!
“Hahahahahahaha!!!”
I’m so proud!!!! Yuna Kim!!!!!!!!!
Rotation means Kim Yuna, and Kim Yuna means rotation! She was a superhuman who rewrote the history of rotation! With her surging rotational abilities, she defeated Russia’s inhuman powerhouses and Japan’s peerless geniuses, reaching the pinnacle.
And now I am.
Using that pinnacle technique.
Descending to the lowest level.
—KU-GU-GU-GU-GU-GU-GU-GU-GU!!!
All I could see around me was rocky walls. How many meters have I come down? In the blink of an eye, I’ve descended nearly tens of meters. It feels like becoming an inhuman dwarf and entering a straw. What’s down there must be. Sweet cola.
—Arrogance.
The word arrogance is perfect for this. The only word that suits this technique is arrogance. Never compromising with anything, just rotating. The field is a world-class figure skating stage. Imagining that, I create the ultimate rotation.
—KU-GU-GU-GU-GU-GU-GUNG!!!
Just once.
I only kicked off the ground and rotated once. But my body hasn’t lost its rotational force yet. Once a spinning top starts spinning, it’s natural for it to eventually fall, but I’m actually.
“Getting faaaaaaaster! And faaaaaaaster!!”
Getting even faster…!
Unleashing divine power to rotate my body even more intensely! What lies at the end of this insane rotation that nothing can stop?
Glory? Destruction?
No.
I don’t need any of that.
I’m just going to pierce through everything while rotating.
Thinking that, I.
—THUD!!
Descended into an empty underground space.
The `floor` disappeared, and at the same time, I stopped rotating and looked down. My body, enveloped in radiance, illuminates the darkness. What do I see?
“I can’t see anything.”
The surroundings were empty.
—Thud.
Confirming that, I land.
“…”
It was a large cavern. But the floor was tiled. Clear signs of artificial construction. Such an artificial structure existed deep underground.
Bingo.
I look straight up.
I could see the large hole I had drilled through, and at the end of it, I could see them sticking their faces out and looking down at me.
“Wait there for a second! I’ll check it out and let you know!!!”
As I said that.
—Yes!!!
Hilde replied loudly.
Okay.
Let’s check it out for a second.
—Whoosh.
I unleash divine power even more strongly. So strongly that I could spread my wings on my back. But if I grew them beyond a certain size, the flames would fall off my body, so I couldn’t create wings yet.
But even that little bit of radiance illuminated all the darkness.
—…
First of all, there doesn’t seem to be any hidden demons or anything? If there were, they would have screamed at the sight of my radiance. Anyway, let’s take a quick look around.
—KWAANG!
I kick off the ground and dash in a straight line. The walls were cleaner than I thought, and large tiles were embedded in the floor. The height to the ceiling? About 20 meters? Amazing. To think there’s a space like this under the desert.
I’m getting more and more interested in what this place is.
“Hmm.”
After roughly looking around like that.
I was able to find a dead end and stairs leading down. The front is a dead end, and there are stairs going down on both sides. Is there no way to go up? Anyway, there was something like a frame hanging on the wall in front.
And a really huge frame at that.
But the picture wasn’t visible.
—KWAANG!
Now that I’ve checked here, let’s check the other side. I kick off the ground again and head to the other side. Passing the hole I came out of, I go straight ahead.
“Hmm.”
This time, there was a very large door.
How big are the beings that use doors this big? No lie, is this facility really made by Titans? And I’ve seen a similar facility before.
—When I found the Oracle.
It felt like this there too.
Ah, but that Oracle bastard. He’s so useless that I just keep him sealed and abandoned these days. When I get back, should I just ask him about ancient times, whether he dies or not? There are a lot of things I’m curious about, but he wasn’t omnipotent.
The World Tree is more useful.
Anyway.
—Grab.
I jumped up and grabbed the doorknob. Because it was so big, the doorknob was really high up. As I stepped on the door next to it and pulled the doorknob,
—Crack!
The doorknob broke.
“What the fuck.”
I was just trying to check what was outside the door. As expected, gentlemanly methods don’t work well. Then there’s only one way.
—Whoosh.
I infuse my fist with energy.
And punch the wall as it is.
—KUUUUUNG!!
I adjust the output so that the door doesn’t break. As a result, my fist pierced through the door, creating a hole just a little bigger than my fist.
This level of power control is really easy.
There’s no need to smash this big door. I just need to make a hole.
But I couldn’t pierce through the whole door. The door was thicker than I imagined, so I couldn’t pierce through it with my fist. So I had no choice but to make the hole bigger.
—Crack!
I dig out the door from the front. I can’t risk ruining things by breaking the door, so I’m just using my bare hands to dig out this huge stone door. —KWA-KWANG! The stone door easily allowed me in. In an instant, a large hole was created.
“Whoa.”
What came out as I dug inside like that was.
Just rock.
The same rocky area that I had pierced through from above… The question was solved. Seeing that there’s a door, this structure isn’t here for no reason. It was sunk by some kind of magic. The same case as last time.
After figuring out all that, I went back up.
* * *
After telling them everything I saw below, I came down with them. From the moment we came down, the World Tree’s crystal ball began to emit an even more intense light.
Still a bluish light.
Not green.
“Does that mean it’s not a fragment of God?”
Liztina said.
“I guess so. There must be something else.”
The World Tree didn’t tell me about that.
What the heck is it?
“Katt-nim. Why don’t you just take a nap here? Meet the World Tree and ask him about this and that. And find out what the light of this crystal means.”
“I was thinking about that too. Let’s find out a little first and then ask.”
“Um… Okay. Let’s do that.”
There wouldn’t be a problem if we found out first and then asked.
So we went down the stairs.
Stairs. Stairs that kept appearing. We explore them all the way. Isn’t that what our job is? This place was very wide. But there was a clear end to it. After exploring, we opened a certain door that appeared.
A very wide.
A very wide space appeared.
“So there was something here after all.”
Winia said that, and we increased the output of the lights to illuminate the entire space. It was a space with no particular characteristics. There wasn’t anything in particular.
But.
There was one thing.
That caught my eye.
“What’s that?”
Beyond the room. There was something like a rectangular pillar lying on its side. It was very large. Large enough to match the size of the room.
“A really big… box?”
Karin said that.
“A really big box?”
It’s more like a coffin.
It was some kind of very large coffin.
At least that’s how it looked to me.
“Is there something inside?”
“Maybe it’s a huge treasure?”
“It’s more like a monster than a treasure…”
“Could it be a monster like Coltrahen!!!”
Winia and Hilde said that.
“Cloudy? Do you have any idea?”
“…I don’t know, not about this kind of thing. I’ve never seen anything like this before.”
When I asked, Cloudy shook her head.
“I didn’t even know that something like this existed in a deeper underground than the ruins… To think that something like this was under the desert… Amazing.”
She had a curious look on her face as she slowly stroked her chin.
“Cloudy. What exactly are these ruins?”
“I don’t remember the name. But I remember that it’s one of the largest ruins that has been discovered so far. That’s why I guided you here first.”
Large ruins.
It’s all dried up and abandoned now, but when it was discovered, it was a fairly large ruin, so it attracted a lot of attention from humans and dark elves.
“Anyway, does anyone here have any idea what it is?”
Everyone nodded at that.
—Whoosh.
Hilde, with her wings spread, flew around looking at the facility. This facility was… quite bizarre. Such a large space and that huge coffin.
“Let’s… open that first.”
“Well, we can’t just go back after coming all this way. Let’s open it. What could happen? We can smash everything with our reliable husband here.”
“That’s true.”
All eyes are on me.
“Darkie, open it quickly. I’m curious about what’s inside.”
“Okay. I’ll open it. I’m a little curious too.”
I can’t not open it.
“But isn’t it a little suspicious? Risha. Prepare the defense spells and stuff.”
“This one is always prepared for attack.”
“That’s our Risha. Ah. But be careful because poison gas might suddenly be released in addition to attacks. No. Go back.”
I immediately made them go back.
I wonder if the ruins will collapse the moment I open that thing. If it were the old days, I would have been a little scared, but for me now, that’s not a problem at all.
I’m confident that I can safely evacuate everyone.
“Shall we open it?”
No lie, this looks like some kind of coffin. Is there a king of the Titans or something inside? If it’s really something like that, I’ll admit that there was a Titan era and their empire.
—Step by step.
I slowly approach it.
There was no sign of an attack.
The moment I reached the coffin.
—KWAANG!
I shoot out the tip of my foot and embed it in the coffin. Because it was so big, my toe going in a little was just a scratch.
—KWAANG!
—KWAANG!
I create stairs on my own and climb up. First of all, the coffin was really big and tall, and the lid was up there, so there was no other way. I have no choice but to climb up while making stairs.
As I climbed up to a place where there was a gap where the lid was engaged.
What was in front of me was a lock.
—KWA-AAAAANG!!
I simply punched it and smashed it.
—JIIIIIIIIIIIIING!!
At that moment, a blue light emanated from the patterns engraved on the coffin. Is magic being unleashed? It must be defense magic or security magic. I already expected it.
“Be careful!!!”
I shouted that and unleashed my power. You’re going to stop me with just this kind of magic? Impossible. The power of Destructive Heaven dwells in the flames burning in my fist. As it is.
“Asura Bloodshed Fist.”
—KWA-AAAA-AAAA-AAAA-ANG!!!
I moderately punched it.
—Shatter!
The defense magic was shattered as it was.
A pushover.
Is it because it’s old?
“Ah! It’s over! But everyone, stay alert!”
“Yes! Katt-nim!”
Anyway, I shattered the magic.
Then.
I have to open it.
—Squeak.
It wasn’t difficult to lift the lid. It’s really big, but what’s the big deal? My strength is stronger than that.
“Hooray!”
I raise both arms and cheer. The coffin was so big that even though I was opening it while cheering, it was only opened a little.
I feel like I should just get rid of this lid somewhere over there.
Anyway, what could be inside?
—Whoosh!
It was the moment I unleashed radiance to look inside.
“Huh…?”
Huh.
That.
Wait.
“Huh? Oh, fuck. What is this? What the fuck is this?”
What the hell is this?
What the fuck is that?
“Hey! What is it! What came out!”
“Katt-nim, what came out!”
Karin and Hilde immediately urged me from behind.
“That’s…”
What’s inside is… what should I say.
A little… unique design… Ah, what should I call this. Yeah. A little like that golem. Yeah. A golem. That would be right. It’s a design similar to a golem.
—There was a huge arm.
As if made with some kind of elaborate magical engineering.
That huge golem’s arm.
Was stored inside the coffin.
“A giant weapon out of nowhere?”
