Chapter 397 – 397. Flowers Bloom Even at Graves (5)

– One –

Kurrrr!
Parss.

A huge vibration spreads out.

It swept Ada and Monohorn’s bodies.

“Hey…!”

Tup!

Ada freaks out and shuts her own mouth.

“Turn it off, turn it off…!”

Purrrr.
Rattling.

He vomits a moan mixed with crying while being completely white.

It is because she felt the fear that she might be buried underground.

Whoops, whoops, whoops!

“Huh, huh…”

The heat engulfs all sides.

As the devouring heat shook her body, she was overcome with fear and seemed to suffocate.

But she didn’t scream.

She couldn’t

It was because she thought that the enemies outside might hear her screams.

At that time,

Pat, pat.

“It’s okay, Ada. It’s safe here. I’m there.”

Tap her on the hip, and Mono Horn soothes her with her calming voice.

“Haaa…”

It was magic

A moment of tranquility dwells in her heart.

Slither.
Whoops!

Her mono horn didn’t push her away, though she was clinging to her painfully.

“The outer wall that surrounds us is hard, so we will never be buried. The heat will go away quickly. How is it? It’s really cool, right?”

“Ah…”

Whoops, whoops.

She blankly nods her head.

“We’re already far from the blast zone. And without Ada realizing it, we’re back in the safe zone.”

“Okay…”

The tremors that dominated Ada’s body gradually faded.

To restore her peace,

Swoop.

Falls from Monohorn.

She turns her head to the other side of him.

The nape of her neck was stained bright red.

“I-Did I be too scolding…?”

She asks carefully.

Food.

“Yes.”

Let Monohorn smile and affirm it,

Startle.

Ada’s body stiffens.

I’m going to go to the middle of the day.

Her neck turns stiffly towards Monohorn.

She looks at her Mono Horn in disbelief.

“You can lean on it for a little longer, but it’s okay to just run away without doing anything wrong.”

“Ahhh…”

Her expression softens.

“Come this way.”

Swoop.
Poo Ok.

Monohorn pulls her gently.

She falls into Monohorn’s arms without any resistance.

“I feel it every time, but I think Ada is really cute.”

“That, that’s…”

Whoa ah.

Her face gets even redder.

As she writhes in her euphoria as she is embraced by Mono Horn,

Deeing, Deeing.
Jiyiying.

In the hand on the other side of the Monohorn, a string was constantly ringing.

The string was ringing because someone had invaded, or someone who had already invaded had touched it while escaping.

Many strands of thread were tied together, but Monohorn had no trouble separating them.

It is because she did not distinguish it with her five senses, but was aware of this ability of hers flowing in the string in a delicately sensitive way.

Rumble.

Cold sweat ran down Monohorn’s back.

Not much vibration was detected from the connection beyond the northern slope of the cliff.

However, on the southern slope of the cliff, that is, where the large army of Regal was encamped, countless vibrations were felt.

‘This… I’m sure it’ll break through faster than I thought…’

Monohorn was also pouring out its abilities on the southern slope of the cliff.

But he couldn’t examine it himself, and there was no help from Margarita or the Honeywetts.

Therefore, his response, which relied only on sensing vibrations, could not be particularly agile or accurate.

It was just a mechanical and clumsy response, so no matter how huge the scale, there were many holes.

And it was clear that Regal was very good at filling that gap.

Because of that, Monohorn had no choice but to be very nervous.

“I’m out now.”

However, Monohorn did not show it to Ada.

There would be no way to hide it in front of the Honeywetts and Margarita, but it was not difficult for Monohorn to hide the fact that he was nervous from Ada.

“Look.”

Whiik.
Cheer La Rock.

In the ground, blinds were covering the cracks that had been in front, but when Monohorn beckoned, they all opened at once.

Soft light seeps in through the cracks.

Seeing the scenery outside, Ada felt more at ease.

“Where are we going?”

“To the place where the enemy remains. Um…”

Jiying, Jiying.

The monohorn examines the vibrations in detail.

Soon he nods his head.

“It’s going to be the southwest direction from here.”

“Okay.”

Ada puts her ear to Monohorn’s chest.

Listen quietly to his heartbeat.

“Monohon, you have to be careful.”

“All right.”

“You can’t overdo it.”

“Of course.”

Monohorn answered calmly.

She manages her emotions thoroughly, so that she doesn’t notice her behavior or his nervousness.

“Ah, Ada. I have a favor.”

“Yes? What is it?”

Swoop.

Ada lifts her head, full of her anticipation.

She makes eye contact with Mono Horn, her eyes as if telling her to say something.

“I’m a little tired, but can I ask you for a healing spell?”

“Of course!”

As soon as she readily answered,

Woo woo woo woo!

He pours out beginner-level healing spells at Monohorn.

Whii profit!
Clap!

As soon as her healing spell erupts, Mono Horn hurriedly waves her hand to cover her gap.

“Ah, ahaha…”

Her mono horn looks back at her as she smiles awkwardly.

She blinks her eyes

“Ah, ah?! Bar, the enemies might have seen it from the outside,”

“Don’t worry, Ada. It was midday, so you wouldn’t have stood out too much.”

“Ha, but…”

Whoops, whoops.

Monohorn strokes her hair.

“Thank you. Thanks to you, my fatigue has been relieved.”

“Would it be okay…?”

Mono Horn tried to divert her attention, but to no avail.

Ada was still worried that the pure white light emitted by the healing spell might have caught the enemy’s eyes.

“Don’t worry too much. Because of the tracking spells engraved on my body anyway, enemies can know where I am.”

“Ahhh…”

“I’ll have to be careful with sniping, but I don’t think there’s a direct threat yet.”

“Yes…”

Ada sulks.

She remains to be helpful, but she continues to wonder if she is a burden to Mono Horn.

“Ada.”

“Yes.”

“It’s helpful enough, so don’t be so downhearted. Of course, she’s cute like that, but Ada’s smiling face is the prettiest.”

“Yes…♡”

Ada blushes her shyly.

Bowing her head,

Swoop.
Koo Woo-wook.

She holds his hand tightly.

Monohorn smiles.

The goddess grunted curtly, jealously, ringing in her ears, but Ada chose not to mind it.

– 2 –

“Hmm… Is it certain that there is a person with a sensory system ability among the experiment subjects… It seems that most of the subjects escaped three days ago in an unknown aircraft.”

After hearing a report on the operational status from the head of the combat crew, Regal murmurs to herself.

Tok, tok, tok.

Tapping the table with the tip of his index finger, he looked down at the map depicting the current status of the operation.

He was frowning between his brows as if there was not a little something missing.

“Why is it so slow to cross the cliff and detour?”

“I apologize, Your Majesty…”

“I’m asking why now.”

“That’s what I mean…”

Despite Regal’s direct question, he hesitates to give an immediate answer.

In a way, he seemed to be afraid to report.

Even though there were so many people who died, it was still because they couldn’t produce any clear results.

The fan’s goal deepens between Regal’s forehead.

“Haven’t you figured out the cause yet?”

“That’s not true. However, their level of countering the infiltration of allies is so excellent that it makes no sense at all, so infiltrating over the cliff is really not easy…”

“Um…”

Regal is silent.

This also goes hand in hand with the existence of a person with a sensory system ability.

“There are times when we respond a bit out of context, but generally the enemy responds to our infiltration with a scale and speed that transcends common sense. Also, according to reports from soldiers advancing to bypass the barrier, it is somewhat unbelievable, It is said that the edge of the barrier is expanding in real time. For that reason, both infiltration and bypass are not producing results…”

“What…?”

Regal raises her eyes.

Slap!

I turn my eyes to check the current positions of the soldiers marching east to west.

In the vicinity of the cliff, apart from the elite soldiers and high-ranking combatants attacking the cliff itself, the positions of ordinary soldiers advancing from a distance were marked in long east-west directions.

“Did the allies not know at all because they were so close to the cliff?”

“I suppose it was.”

“Umm…”

Regal’s face darkens even more.

Marching close to the cliff and allowing ambushes over and over again, the common soldier was placed farther away from the cliff and ordered to make a detour.

As a result, the sight was naturally secured, and the soldiers witnessed a scene they could not have imagined at all.

“The soldiers could have marched 50 km even if they couldn’t do it in the last three days. Didn’t they?”

“So it is.”

“Then, the minimum radius of this ability is more than 50km… Does it make sense that even the most outstanding specimens can cover a distance of 100km with the ability of a single human being, and those that do not have a sensory system…? “

“…”

The head of the combat crew is reticent.

He felt the same question himself, but he was afraid of what kind of answer would come back while proposing something that was not even a solution.

“Hmm…”

Regal’s gaze at him is gradually filled with disappointment.

Right or wrong, if he couldn’t even properly express his opinion to his superior and master, it was because there seemed no need for him to sit there.

Did he notice the disappointment in Regal’s gaze?

Swoop.

He bows deeply

“Your Majesty. There is no clear evidence, but I would like to inform you of my convictions.”

“Ummm. That’s right.”

Had he spoken of an apology, Regal would have disposed of him right away.

It was because the three flames in his heart were on the verge of extinguishing, just like when he evaluated the butler from before.

“Whether it’s this ability, magic, sorcery, or holy law, unless it’s a method of ejecting a projectile, what determines its effective range is, firstly, the caster’s cognitive range, and secondly, whether it’s mana or divine power, This is the diffusion limit of the power that is the source.”

“The limit of diffusion.”

“Yes. It has to do with how far a force can be concentrated and spread out. So no matter who uses a force of any kind, it must be dissipated in space in inverse proportion to the cube of the distance, so that the distance If is far away, the spell is incapacitated. High-ranking casters usually overcome such limitations by increasing the cohesiveness of the force on their own, and those who do not overcome it through joint chanting.”

“Right.”

Regal nods his head.

It was a story that was common sense in a world that had nothing to do with him, so he also realized it for the first time.

But after he heard it, he had a vague idea of ​​what his guess was.

“For cognition, someone equipped with the ability of the sensory system can fill that role. However, it is absolutely impossible for a few people to overcome the limit of spread of power, even for a high-ranking caster. The limit is always clear. It has no choice but to exist, and it generally exists within the range that individuals can perceive visually.”

Knowing the reason, he was already prepared to analyze the cause of the phenomenon.

He seemed more competent than Regal had judged.

Is it because he judged that he had a pleasant illusion?

Deep interest in Regal’s eyes.

“Then, what methods do they use to keep the cohesiveness of this ability even at such a distance?”

“Aren’t they using plants?”

“Yes.”

“While it is a means of attack and defense, it is assumed that it is used as a medium to transmit this ability over long distances.”

“…!”

Regal widens her eyes.

Regal couldn’t hide his astonishment as he developed his reasoning from an entirely unexpected perspective.

“Huh…”

Swoop.

As Regal exclaimed, he bowed even deeper.

The reason why he couldn’t express his opinion might be because of his deeply ingrained humility, and Regal drastically corrects his previous evaluation of him.

“Let’s assume that plants are a medium that transmits this ability to distant places. If so, what do you think is the reason why this ability is transmitted and received even when different types of things are mixed?”

“The reason why such a thing is possible is probably because the plants are grafted together.”

“Has it been folded?”

“So it is.”

Regal seemed to have never heard such a word.

“What is it?”

“Your Majesty has never done a menial job like farming, so the concept may seem quite unfamiliar to you. However, it is quite common in fruit farmers to cut and paste genetically similar plants together to form a single individual. It is a way to make it. Usually, it is used to take advantage of both plants, but it is assumed that those test subjects used plants to bind them together as a medium for transmitting their abilities.”

“Is there such a way…”

Regal can’t hide his admiration.

I look at him with strange eyes.

“Were you originally from a peasant family?”

“No. Because the serfs belonging to Sosin’s family farmed fruit trees, I was able to know a little about such knowledge.”

“I see. After listening to you, your guess seems to be very reliable.”

“Hwang-Gong-I.”

Swoop.

His head seemed to almost touch the floor.

Regal looks at him with a satisfied smile.

“I thought they were just monsters when I couldn’t figure out the cause, but now that I figured out the cause, it seems like nothing surprising.”

“Please give me a high opinion of my convictions, so I’m just appreciating it.”

“Raise your head.”

Swoop.
Chuck.

Unlike when he was bowing down, he raised his head very moderately.

As soon as he was certain that he had been recognized by Regal, his face showed pride that he couldn’t hide.

“Since we have rationally analyzed the cause of the phenomenon based on clear reasons, I think you can also suggest a solution to it.”

“I have several plans in mind, Your Majesty.”

“Ohhh… Not one, did you come up with multiple solutions?”

Chuck!

He expresses the utmost example as a war god to Regal.

Regal’s smile deepens.

“Would you like me to tell you the solution you came up with?”

“Yes, Your Majesty. First of all,”

He suggests to Regal the method he came up with.

Regal admires it, and orders that all of them be implemented at the same time.

They each felt deeply satisfied for their own reasons.

Because Regal discovered a talent like a jewel, and because the leader of the agents was finally recognized by Regal.

“Proceed according to your opinion.”

“I am the Emperor, Your Majesty.”

“Hmm…”

At that time, Regal was letting out a soft sigh while smiling a little embarrassingly.

It was hard to see it once or twice a year, compared to seeing it in front of a servant.

“By the way.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“What is your name?”

Because of his deep regret and longing for absinthe, he did not think to even remember the name of the person who became his successor.

But he doesn’t show any regret at all.

It was just to be happy again.

It was because he thought that he had proven his worth only with his abilities and had firmly imprinted his existence on Regal.

“My name is Luxardo Maraschino, Your Majesty. Even if I say I have a last name, I am no more than an insignificant commoner, so I beg you to call me Luxardo.”

“Okay, Luxar too. Rest for today.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Since the owner of the house was the one who personally recommended Luxardo, Regal vowed to go back to his lodgings and give a big compliment to the owner of the house.

It was a pleasant night.
