Chapter 255 – 72. Temple of Unir (1)
“Oh, no. Mr. Julian.”
But after saying that, he turned his head completely and couldn’t make eye contact with me.
‘Looks like he saw what happened during the day.’
If so, no surprise. Love with Chloe. Because I tried a new play to make a vulva.
Perhaps her maiden Tricia would have been shocked to see it. Still, Tricia, who is normally easy-going and cool, seemed to be cute when she showed such a shy reaction.
“Then we will move on.”
“I know!”
And to Tricia’s words, Chloe responded cheerfully. Chloe is full of energy now. At night, demonic spirits were boiling all over the primeval forest.
Now that she has her vagina. Her human being, she, too, has no major obstacles to her activities here. No, she’s rather she’s been buffed.
‘Not bad. But…’
Erti hummed for a moment. She wasn’t chatting or chatting like usual. She says she is also insecure somewhere.
Until now, with Tricia’s guidance, they were smoothly approaching the World Tree. I also have a feeling that something might happen.
‘Ten thousand years old dragon. The place where the remains of that old dragon are…’
Tricia recalled her words to her. An ancient dragon that has existed since the time of the Old Empire. The old dragon passed away her last breath in this primeval forest.
‘The World Tree embraced the remains of that old dragon.’
An old dragon that has grown to that extent becomes a valuable magical resource that cannot be compared with anything even when it becomes its remains.
The old dragon and the world tree knew that fact. So, the world tree wrapped the remains of the old dragon around its roots and hid it.
It did not stay in one place, but continued to move the old dragon’s grave according to the will of the World Tree.
So, even to the demons, the tomb of the ancient dragon was said to be a story that came down like a legend.
‘It is true that it exists. The Will of the World Tree, which can trace its grave, is accessible only to the High Priests of Unir.’
And Cecilia said. A high priest with access to that will. One of them said he was pro-Lucifer.
In other words, if you approach the priest, you can visit the old dragon’s grave. The temple of Unir, where the priest is located, is also hidden in this vast primeval forest.
Tricia hurried ahead of us without hesitation.
“Hmm. That Tricia-sama is great at spirit magic. It seems to be on a different level from the lousy wizards of the magic sect, their elemental magic.”
And Chloe, who was following Tricia with me, spoke. I looked around for a moment.
The primeval forest was shining brighter at night. Luminous plants filled everywhere. And glowworms.
The overloaded senses among those bright lights would rather confuse finding the way. However, Tricia’s spiritism was too good.
Water, wind, fire and earth. Because the four spirits are linking with each other and delivering only the right information to Tricia in real time.
And unlike me, the spirit Tricia is using is an intermediate level spirit. She had heard that she had also made a pact with a higher spirit, she said.
She said, ‘She said she uses mid-level spirits for efficiency.’
Just like how long I’ve lived. His experience as an elf was amazing. And I for the revival of Siertia.
A heroine who should be able to use spirit magic that is more advanced than this. I came up with a rosette.
‘Rosette. It’s like a slump these days.’
I remembered my midterm exam grades. In her order of magic, there are no wizards of hers to deal with. 1st of course. However, in the theory lecture that upper cadets commonly take, Chloe’s grades were far behind.
And also in the camp training right after that. Rosette’s grades were not good.
‘Well, I already know that the problem is me.’
Just like when we met at the atelier not long ago. Rosette is actively conscious of me. And the Prince of Jealousy was feeling enough to notice her.
‘Be jealous.’
If so, that feeling. All you have to do is grant Rosette’s desire. Just like Chloe did. If you make a vulva on Rosette, her magic level will rise quickly in a short time.
‘Because Rosette’s magic talent isn’t enough to stay in spiritism.’
And above all else, Rosette’s gaze must be fixed on me. Otherwise she’ll be raided by the Witch’s Crusade when it’s time to fight.
At that point, there may be mishaps that could result in the loss of the rosette.
Erti hummed again.
I mean my thoughts are correct. At the point where Erti was already obtained, the story is very different from the original.
‘To enter the primeval forest like this. According to the original story, we’ll talk about it after a while.’
So that means my judgment has been correct so far. The stories behind the story that the original users couldn’t access.
The second hand of destruction is moving. If you cling to that second hand too late, you won’t be able to do anything like the original and will have to wait for the bad ending.
‘We must secure the Perpetual Dragon Rin here. Otherwise, you will fall behind the darkness that may already be moving behind you.’
Although I know that Duke Pedro is the dark side and the final boss. His motives for action.
And how he is moving now that the midterms are over. It’s because I couldn’t accurately grasp it just by playing Demon King’s Slaughter.
‘But in the current country, it would be possible. So I have to be more nimble.’
So heartbroken Erti. And as the warning felt in Rosario.
If something happens here, it will rather be a clue to getting closer to darkness. It ran like that for several hours.
And finally, the party arrived at Unir’s Temple. Just what we saw there.
It was the scene of a brutal slaughter.
***
“Uh… What happened…”
The place the party entered was the temple of Yunir, right in the middle of him. There was no sign of life there.
A bloody priestly robe. The Priests of Unir died in a gruesome manner.
‘What the hell is going on…’
Tricia could feel the shock. Even though she left the Demon Kingdom. A place where she spent a long time as a priest of Unir.
Tricia’s acquaintances will be among those victims. I hurriedly took her into my arms and covered her eyes.
Chloe also has a cool personality. Startled, she opened her fan, blocking her view.
“Looks like you were attacked. Could it be a monster? A vaguely magical spirit…”
Chloe was right. The primeval forest was full of demons at night. And that demon gives a rather comfortable feeling to me, who is no different from a demon.
However, in between those demons, a very unpleasant and terrifying scent and senses are all mixed up.
Completely different from divine power or magic. The power of chaos that blindly hates the lives of Island. Demon spirit power was felt in this area.
‘But it’s not a monster.’
There is also a Keiatic Gate in the Demon Kingdom. However, the location of the Keiatic Gate is at the eastern end. The location of the primeval forest is far from the gate, so it is not easy to create a sudden gate.
‘Besides, the magic of the primeval forest serves as a sacred obelisk.’
And even if a gate was formed by breaking through the magi’s wall. This is the Temple of Unir. It seems that the holy priests of the empire know how to fight monsters.
It means that the Priests of Unir can stand up to monsters much better than the normal Demon Lords. But they were killed.
‘Then the opponent is a human. No, rather, he must be married.’
It clearly means that the Mahon people have invaded this primeval forest. A human who has been corrupted by the intervention of demon power in the mind, a demon soul. Of course, the human is a more inclusive concept.
Whether human or demonic. Because everyone can be controlled by that magical power. And among those Mahon people, there is a special Mahonin.
‘Perhaps those who hear the voice… Like Duke Pedro.’
Voice. The final darkness that led to Duke Pedro. However, it was an entity whose identity could not be known just by playing Demon Kingslaughter.
I had a hunch. Clearly, those who raided this place were somehow related to Duke Pedro.
And if you consider that the highest priest of Unir Temple is the one who knows the location of the old dragon’s graveyard.
The purpose of this raid was clear. I said to Tricia, who had calmed down a bit.
“It seems that there were those who were aiming for the 10,000-year old dragon before us.”
“Whoever…”
To that, Chloe replied.
“No one has any doubts. Our little brother. I heard that the second son of the Orhein family is coveting something in the primeval forest recently.”
Me and Tricia noticed her.
“Of course, that older brother is not worthy of being an insignificant little man. And I don’t think that older brother could do something like this alone in the middle of the primeval forest. But the older brother joined hands with Duke Pedro. And the Duke. He is a very meticulous and terrifying person.”
Tricia made a surprised face. She’s probably close friends with Lucia. You should already know what kind of man Duke Pedro is.
“Duke Pedro… Then the Knights of Sentiac?”
And her expression became serious. Centiac Knights. The Knights are different from the Toothless Imperial Guard.
The southern loser who is still fighting a war on the border with the demons. And she will know that they are a powerful order of knights standing shoulder to shoulder with the midnight sun of the north.
‘If the knight of Sentiac had become a Marionist…’
Then it’s time for me to be nervous too. If they really came here aiming for the remains of the 10,000-year old dragon.
Because it meant I had to run into them. It was then.
I could feel the popularity in the near future. Feeling the presence, Tricia shouted.
“Very well, Chief Elder!”
***
The three hurriedly ran toward it. There were survivors. It was a female elf wearing an old-fashioned priestly uniform, looking older.
“Elder! Uh, get treated right away…”
“Who… Who… From… Could it be Tricia…”
“Yeah. Chief Elder… And faster than words, starting with treatment…”
Tricia’s hand shone. She’s from a priest too. She told Captain Laura that with the divine power of Unir she cast her healing spell on that elf.
‘But… It’s already too late.’
The wound on his stomach was too deep. And looking at the blood that spread out, it was said that it was a miracle that she was still alive.
Tricia’s spell was also useless. But the moment she saw Tricia in her eyes, she couldn’t stop her.
The two seemed friendly. It will be difficult to survive. Still, as if the healing spell had given him some energy, the Elder finally opened his mouth.
“Tricia… I heard that you and your sister left the Demon Kingdom… I’m glad you’re safe. Elves who leave the Demon Kingdom and go to the human country… Are bound to suffer very badly…”
“I… I’m fine! Elder. What the hell is going on…”
“Humans of humans… Attacked this temple. Although disguised… An elite knight with no average skills… It must be the evil Sentiac Knights…”
“But how can an ordinary human being in this primeval forest full of demons…”
“I wasn’t an ordinary human… I felt demonic power… I felt a creepy sensation different from that of a human… It must be demonic…”
It was also as I expected. When Chloe was told that she was married to him, she made a surprised expression.
“Then, their purpose… Is the remains of a 10,000-year old dragon?”
“Yes. Tricia… They stole the branches of the World Tree, pointing to the old dragon’s graveyard. At this rate… The remains of that ancient dragon… To them…”
“What about the other priests? We need to quickly ask for help from the other temples in the primeval forest and track them down…”
“No. Coincidentally, the timing… Now many priests have left for the Eastern Gate. Perhaps there is an infiltrator and the information…”
Why were the priests so easily defeated? I think I know why. Unir’s Priests were not to the point of being slaughtered one-sidedly, no matter how strong the opponent was.
However, it seems that the elite went on an expedition to the gate located in the eastern part of the Demon Kingdom. There are 5 Chaetic Gates in Ireland. Because all of them are not moving at all.
It was then. Even with Tricia’s healing spell, the dying elder vomited blood.
“Cool… Tricia… Stop using spells… I guess I’ve come this far. And you alone cannot stop them. I don’t know how I got back to the primeval forest… Hurry to a safe place…”
“I am not alone. Me too…”
At that moment, the elder lying on the floor turned his head towards me. And she made a very surprised expression.
“Lu… His Majesty Lucifer…?”
