Chapter 120 – Time Temple (1)
Breaking through the mountain range was not difficult. The spirits my sister commanded helped me find the way.
Even so, it took a considerable amount of time to cross the mountain range, because I moved carefully so as not to invade the territory of other dragons and deliberately provoke them.
Although I had dealt with several adult-level dragons at Calia’s request, I had no intention of provoking the other dragons on my side.
The topography of the mountains was also very rugged. Unlike Nana, who had physical abilities unmatched by a wizard, and Iris, who was a knight in the first place, my sister was a typical elemental magician.
No matter how much you move with the help of spirits, there is a limit.
In addition, my sister had been unable to walk at all due to the demon king’s curse not too long ago. He cursed and restored his physical strength, but it was not enough to prevent him from breaking through the rugged mountain range.
There was also a way to drastically increase physical abilities by forcing spirits into the body, but it is probably because of the cliché that female protagonists do not use their bodies directly.
If there was only one thing that Luna Taylor, who was born with the qualities of a great spirits, lacked, it was the fitness level when the spirits were assigned to her body.
It’s not impossible, and the efficiency of doing it once is amazing, but instead, it’s said that after the program is over, there will be tremendous aftereffects.
Thanks to that, it was best for my sister to strengthen her body to some extent with her spirits, or to move her body by commanding the spirits of water, wind, and earth.
Instead, there were spirits run by my sister, so we could move through the mountains along the optimal route, and even when we slept, we were able to sleep comfortably with the help of the spirits.
A camp to stay for the night was easily built with just a few low- and mid-level spirits.
So we crossed the mountain range.
“… And.”
Admiration appeared on the tired face of the older sister. I don’t know who groaned first. Iris, noona, and me too. Everyone was in awe of the majestic temple that appeared before their eyes.
Temple of time.
The place we have only heard of, and mentioned only in legends, is now in front of us.
“I never thought I would really come to the Temple of Time…”
Iris muttered.
Unlike the Temple of the Sun, which is the state religion of the Empire and the largest in the entire continent, or the Temple of the Moon, which is less famous, the Temple of Time is very rare even for those who know about its existence.
No. Even they must know that the Time Temple only existed in the age of mythology.
If the goddess hadn’t told us, and hadn’t opened the way for us to arrive here, we probably would have wandered around instead of reaching the temple.
Iris also has a new sense of emotion.
From her position as a hero, she received the revelation of the goddess and came to the temple of the mythical era, which only appeared in legends.
“It’s fucking big.”
My sister grumbled.
“Is there anything else the goddess warned you about? What is the most dangerous thing inside?”
My sister asked Iris as if she was anxious. Iris shook her head as if she didn’t hear anything.
“There was no such thing.”
“I mean…”
The goddess guaranteed her safety, so it should be fine.
Entered the temple It must have been neglected for hundreds of years, but the floor was clean without a speck of dust.
The pure white temple has a grandeur in itself, making anyone who dared set foot in the temple feel awe.
Especially when looking at the statue of the goddess standing in the center of the temple.
“… Ah.”
Iris blankly let out her exclamation.
“… I don’t know if it’s because of my mood, but I feel like a goddess.”
Sun Goddess, Mithra.
From the statue of her goddess in front of her eyes, Iris seemed to recall her goddess who had lowered her holy sword to her.
I wouldn’t know if it was me before I lost my memory, but now I’ve never even heard the voice of a goddess, so I didn’t feel much when I heard those words.
“It certainly seems to feel the same way.”
I don’t think it’s because of Iris’s mood, seeing that my older sister, who has intact memories unlike me, nods her head in affirmation.
Anyway, Iris seemed to like this place even more.
“What about the holy relic?”
My sister looked around the temple and said. Iris remembered her goddess Mithra from the goddess statue in front of her, and whether she liked this place or not, she seemed to want to get the holy relics quickly because her sister was fine.
“Do you want to find my memories quickly like that?”
“No it’s not?”
Ancalzine answer.
After mingling with Calia’s realm, her attitude may have changed a little, but she’s rather shy than before.
What though
“Do you hate searching for memories?”
“… No. That’s not it.”
If you poke me like this, more than before, they will look at me with a twist. It was cute that he was worried that I might have offended him for no reason. There’s no way I’d be offended by something like this, and my sister wouldn’t know that either.
They say people change when they fall in love.
Anyway, the changed sister was cute and looked pretty, and it seemed that it was not only my sister who had changed, but also me.
“… Hey?”
I was flirting with my sister when I heard a cool voice.
Needless to say, she was Iris.
“Stop flirting, why don’t you go and find out where the holy relic is?”
I didn’t have the guts to say no here.
But.
“Huh. Why? Jealous though?”
Rather, my sister snorted and hugged my arm.
The two of them treated each other with respect, but because of their social status, the older sister did not dare to speak unflattering words to Iris, and Iris, who is also my older sister, called her her older sister and respected her outwardly.
I thought that there wouldn’t be a big conflict as long as we use honorific words for each other.
As expected, the two did not get along very well. Instead…
“Are you jealous? Why am I jealous?”
“Then what is not jealousy?”
Tight. My sister pulled my arm hard. It touched her small breasts. They couldn’t make a good tee, and they pretended not to know, so the battle of nerves between the two became rough.
“It’s not jealousy. It’s because you have work to do.”
“Is it so? Aren’t you envious of crossing your arms like this?”
Wriggling. Iris’s mouth trembled. A stern expression flickered in the corners of her eyes, which had been smiling slightly.
“… Well? Even if I cross my arms, I don’t think I’ll feel anything. Should I be envious?”
“… What did you say just now?”
Back…
Sick.
My older sister’s hand, which was holding my arm, is holding me tight, tightening my arm as if it would break it. It’s almost like I wonder if my arm wouldn’t have been shattered if it had been a normal person’s body instead of mine.
I glanced down at my sister. She had a terrifyingly expressionless face. She seemed to have touched even the reverse. Taking advantage of that gap, Iris triumphantly spread her breasts.
“Isn’t it? She needs something to reach to feel anything. Isn’t that right, brother?”
It was a blatant provocation and appeal.
Slowly, my nails were digging into my arms. This is how I got to see real blood. Still, I wonder if it’s fortunate that it’s my blood, not between the two of them.
“… Hmm.”
My sister let out her snort. I narrowly opened my eyes and stared at Iris. She also did not lose Iris. She didn’t look away, she looked this way with cool eyes.
Silence. Even though it was only about 5 seconds of silence, it felt very long.
“Both of you, stop.”
I can’t just watch anymore. So, I decided to intervene.
“Joy.”
“Tsk.”
Even after I intervened, they both seemed very dissatisfied, as if they knew that there was nothing to be gained by arguing with each other, but they stopped the snowball fight.
“Let’s find the holy relic first.”
Regardless of this or that, they lived together in the mountains, and both of them were strict about the distinction between public and private.
Then maybe working together will make you feel a little better.
Of course, I was also planning to take care of them separately.
“… Okay. Let’s start by finding the holy relic.”
My sister nodded at my words first. Following Iris’ consent, we entered the temple.
“Didn’t I say there was nothing dangerous?”
“Yes.”
“It’s strange.”
There’s no way a temple like this wouldn’t have a Guardian.
Especially if it’s a place where holy relics are kept.
To my question, Iris answered.
“He said he came rightly after being guided, so even the Guardian wouldn’t stop him.”
Is it.
Anyway, the search continued. Although the temple was so large, the location of the relic was quickly located, as all three of us had superhuman senses.
The basement of the temple.
A sanctuary that houses the Time Hallows.
“Found.”
“Can I just take that?”
It didn’t take long and we were excited to find what we were aiming for when we were about to enter the sanctuary.
Instantly, I felt a tingling sensation down my spine, and pulled my sister and Iris closer with a shadow.
“Stop!”
Reflexively, Obsidian’s barrier unfolds, and Iris’ divine power reinforces its solidity.
It was a combination that matched the sum while dealing with Pelgrion.
Quaang!
The barrier shook. It was a powerful shock, as if it had been an earthquake, but the barrier was intact.
Even when fighting Felgrion, it was a barrier that blocked the ancient dragon’s breath. Now that all three of them have grown noticeably, it wouldn’t be strange that the barriers were intact.
It’s just who attacked.
“… Iris.”
“… Yes.”
“Why is the Guardian attacking us?”
“Well…”
“Intruder. Repulse.”
A golem with a huge sword and shield.
The guardian of the temple was looking down at us, exhaling a pressure that was greater than that of an adult-sized dragon that seemed to be several tens of meters tall.
“Will you tell Mitra?”
“Originally, you shouldn’t call the goddess by her name so lightly, but… What is it?”
I said with a big smile.
“Please do the right thing.”
“It’s a disrespectful word.”
Iris replied coolly.
“I was just thinking that too…”
