Chapter 230 – Scenario Dungeon (6)

It was a bit surprising to see Helena turning her sacred arts to secondary and starting to wield her mace in earnest…

If you think about it, it was only a little intense, but it wasn’t much different from usual.

More than anything, it’s about becoming stronger. Huh.

After clearing one of the cavities, she again relied on her memory to make her way through the narrow tunnel.

Of course, it wasn’t long before she reached another cavity and a battle broke out… Perhaps it was thanks to having faced him once, I was able to fight more easily.

After passing through several cavities, passing through winding roads and crossroads, the road reached a dead end.

Carla, who lacked relatively physical strength, tilted her head as she tried to take a sip of the vitality potion.

“Master? Umm… Maybe you’ve been on the wrong path…”

“No. Right here If you look closely, you’ll see, but the material is a little different from the walls you’ve seen before, right? It’s because someone dragged a stone and blocked the entrance.”

For reference, in the game, the color of the wall was clearly different only in this part, as if asking for an investigation. Now, if you pay attention, you can feel the difference.

It’s a while to compare the game screen and the scenery in front of you. Karla finished her bottle of potion and blinked her ruby ​​eyes.

“Who stopped you? Are you sure you are the one who created this tunnel?”

“It could be, but… I think it’s like the instructions of the alchemist who is the owner of the chimeras. Did you see it on the way? There are a lot of chimeras who get lost here.”

“Could it be that you keep going this way and leaking troops, so you blocked the entrance at all? So, the entrance we entered…”

“It was kind of hidden there.”

Anyone can see that this is a side road going in a different direction, and even at the end of the side road, you can find the entrance.

Unless you’re a gamer who can’t get your way without going through all the roads, or if you know the road in advance, you wouldn’t have paid much attention to it.

“If you looked down from above, you would have seen everything…”

“Oh, didn’t I explain why you didn’t fly away?”

“Yes? Isn’t it because you’re afraid you’ll be easily targeted if you fly away and you’ll be under heavy fire?”

“Most of the chimeras here don’t have ranged attack abilities, so you don’t have to worry about that. It’s just that it’s impossible to fly around here.”

“… Impossible?”

Iona raised her hand at Carla’s puzzled response.

“Professor Lee Ona will explain that part!”

“Uh… Then, please, Professor.”

Carla seemed a bit overwhelmed by Iona’s eagerness to the point of feeling sad if she didn’t ask.

Of course Iona didn’t care about that and just nodded her head.

“Yep. Actually, it’s no big deal. It’s just been like that from the beginning! More! End of explanation!”

“… ?”

Carla tilted her head. Helena, who was listening next to her, also wondered what she was talking about.

Seeing the two of them like that, Iris let out a sigh.

“Can a professor explain so recklessly?”

“But that’s all. Is that really the end?”

“I still need to explain a bit more. Uriya lived during the time when Cassis Valley existed, but weren’t the other children born after the valley itself was completely sealed?”

“Omg… Gaffer!”

“Aren’t you too old!”

“Isn’t it? I’m 200 years younger than Iris? Vampires are in their prime?”

“Well… !”

Iris inflates her cheeks and swings her staff. Of course, Iona avoided all of them.

Gilbert, who looked like the eldest, took a step back and put on a disgusted expression.

But. Even I would be dumbfounded to see a scene like a vampire (appearing in a history book) who makes fun of a story from 300 years ago and says that I am old with a 200-year age difference.

In the end, Iris, who hadn’t hit Iona even once, must have given up, and she continued her words while panting.

“Ah, anyway. Whoa… Cassis Valley has long been famous as a place where objects above a certain height fall, for some unknown reason. Even though it was over 300 years ago.”

“Yes? You didn’t know why?”

“That’s right. Seeing that there were several tunnels that I did not know who had dug, I assumed that there must be something underground that caused it, but I couldn’t find it, so it was as if I didn’t know.”

As Iris said.

For some reason it was impossible to fly over the Cassis Valley above a certain altitude. The moment you cross the boundary, the strong gravity acts and you fall as it is.

If you examine the surroundings carefully, you can find traces of birds flying in and falling to their deaths.

A maze-like tunnel that no one knows who has dug. And an unidentified inability to fly.

Isn’t it very award-winning? In fact, there is a hidden piece related to flight in this dungeon.

However, this only confirmed that the people who opened the game existed in the data, and no one knows how to obtain it.

Everyone said that it was deleted content or DLC… Having come to the Eurelia continent like this, I have a slightly different opinion.

Perhaps someone who made H&A judged that Hidden Peace was not very helpful in seeing the world’s happy ending.

Still, I want to check what kind of item it is once in a while…

While I was thinking that in my mind. Iris took a deep breath and continued.

“So, to cross the valley, I had to walk directly, but this was the fastest way from the southern part of the continent to the center.”

“So that’s why you tried so hard to protect the Cassis Valley Fortress?”

“What… I ended up giving it away in the latter half of the war, but that’s what I mean.”

Iris shrugged. I’m saying this lightly, but originally, this is something you can only understand when you rummage through dusty old books in the library.

Seeing Karla and Elisha nodding their heads in amazement, she lightly clapped her hands.

“Now. Have you had enough rest now? Then let’s go.”

The moment you leave this place, you will end up falling in the middle of enemy lines out of nowhere. And there is no time to rest until this dungeon is cleared.

After renewing the buff that was slowly running out, she held out her neck to Iona.

“Anyway, it’s okay to wash a lot because the moment you leave, your regenerative power will be activated while basking in the sun.”

“No! No! Dirty talk is forbidden during battle!”

“…”

Vampire sensibilities are still not understood.

Awesome.

The now accustomed feeling of blood escaping, felt at the same time Iona bit my neck.

And from Iona behind her, her mana began to boil.

So far, because of the lack of time for chanting, because it is a narrow tunnel, because the distance is close, etc. For one reason or another, I couldn’t get the maximum firepower.

Because now I can start with a big blow.

The others also began preparing for the most powerful blow they could each.

“Pha. Then go?”

Iona, who stopped the bleeding from the tooth hole in her neck a couple of times, raised the corner of her mouth as she watched the blood-colored magic circle rising from her fingertips.

“Blood Fall.”

As always, a subtle name that seems to have been brought only by Blood. But its power could never be ignored.

Quagga Gaga-!!

A large amount of blood poured from the magic circle. Literally, the rocks blocking the road were swept away at once by the water pressure like a waterfall, revealing the scenery outside.

The chimeras are so tightly packed that their shoulders touch each other. But the only emotion in their eyes was astonishment.

Well, it’s understandable if blood suddenly pours out from the side.

Iona’s magic, which was shot in a straight line, pushed all the chimeras on the exit side to the side, or crushed them with water pressure, before splitting left and right. It feels like paving the way.

He quickly jumped between them and poured out the magic he had prepared in the direction of the fortress.

“Starlight Lane!”

A cluster of light greatly enhanced by the protection of the sun god rained down on the heads of the chimeras like a meteor shower.

Even if you don’t die from a single bullet, if you get hit two or three times, the carapace will crack and the inner flesh will be pulled out.

And Starlight Rain is a magic that fires hundreds of these light bullets in a wide area.

“Kyaaaaagh!”
“Keew!”

The chimeras in front collapsed as if they were melting. Iona’s magic advancing as if filling that gap.

A large number of thorns protrude from the wall of blood that blocks the Chimera’s approach.

They were chimeras with holes in them, but they did not die because of their toughness and good vitality.

In order to fight back, she strikes down Iona’s magic with her fist, but… How can you break the magic that is difficult to do even when you are fine?

All they can do is be pierced with thorns until they die.

I was able to understand it thanks to a little bit of blood magic. Right now, Iona is manipulating the magic that has already been cast using blood manipulation.

Compared to the time I prepared, I thought it was somewhat plain magic… I’ve prepared a bulldozer.

With this, it would be possible to quickly and reliably push back the enemy’s formations until the effects were exhausted.

Realizing Iona’s intentions, Carla, Elisha, and Iris came out in turn and released the magic she had prepared.

The hard shell is melted by ignorant firepower, and the tough life force collapses without a chance to recover from the magic flying incessantly.

This time, thanks to Iona’s magic acting as a fence, even Karl was able to show off her strength.

It’s been awhile since I pushed forward with the magician’s unique crazy firepower.

When there was a brief lull while chanting the next magic, this time Gilbert, who had been gathering divine power for a while, stepped forward.

Baek-gwang stretched out long even with the greatsword wrapped around it.

“Huh!”

Gilbert simply wields a greatsword horizontally. However, its power and scope were not simple at all.

It wasn’t enough that all the Chimeras within reach of the blade of divine power were broken in two, leaving deep scars on one wall of the valley.

The guys whose upper and lower bodies were separated acted right, and then their breath stopped.

Aren’t they supposed to die so easily… It seems that there is no point in front of the divine power that is thickly concentrated like an aura.

The last one to step out was Helena, wearing her lion ears and tail, as if she had fully drawn out her connection to the Righteous Light before she knew it.

“My lord. Give down your power before the evil horde. Lend me your sharp claws of condemnation!”

As soon as the prayer was finished, Helena raised her mace.

But nothing happened.

The moment when you want something and panic. After a while, strong light began to break through the clouds.

Less severe but familiar pressure. I can feel the inner protection pulsating with joy as if I met my master.

And shortly thereafter, a giant lion’s front paw protrudes from the gap in the light.

Everyone on the battlefield looked up at the sky in amazement.

But she was staring straight ahead as unwaveringly as Helena. As if measuring something.

Helena’s gold eyes shone resolutely. At the same time, she lowered her mace as hard as she could.

“Heaven… !”

As if responding to the movement, the front paws of the lion floating in the sky fall to the ground.

Kwaaaaang!!

Power enough to shake the earth’s axis.

The forepaws made of light quickly disappeared, but the shock etched in his brain still lingered.

Helena hurriedly draws her previously charged divine power while holding the medallion, as if her attack had consumed her divine power considerably.

She said in a voice that made her gasp a little.

“Come on, brother.”

The fort that seemed far away was already quite close.
