Chapter 383 – 109. Memory of the Six Temples (1)
I was standing in a completely different place than the Colosseum.
I quickly calmly looked around. If the last main quest starts, I expected that there would be a change in some way.
The Colosseum is an annex of the Pantheon. So, if you entered somewhere from there, it is highly likely that it is the 6 temples under the Pantheon.
‘As expected.’
A little while ago, I felt disconnected from the real space. There is a fairly thick mixture of unpleasant magical powers in the air.
Even so, the divine power of the 6 gods under his command is blocking the magical spirit power. Perhaps I entered somewhere in the 6 temples.
At that time, my surroundings lit up at the same time. The light soon turned into a person.
“Hey, what the hell is this place?”
I heard the voice of a woman who was perplexed. No, it was not just one voice, but several voices. I told them
“It’s like the 6 underground temples of the Pantheon, so there’s no need to panic.”
Normally, I would have said it in half words. Among the people who appeared after the light disappeared, was the emperor of the empire, Lilia.
It was. All the people who entered this place with me are members of my harem. And they were the representatives of the cadets of each religious order.
“Yulian? Here is…”
“Brother? Are you all right?”
A voice calling me in half words. Even the voice calling me brother. And Eirin, who had just come to my side, said.
“Young master! Are you okay?”
“As you can see, I am fine.”
Lilia and Eirin. And Rosette and Chloe. To Cecilia. All the cadet representatives who had stood side by side on the podium a moment ago looked at me at once.
“Mr. Julian. Where did you get hurt…”
And even Lucia, who carefully asks about my physical condition. I answered her too.
“They are fine as they were when they received the healing spell a moment ago. Don’t worry. Rather…”
“Ah. I have to give you my older brother’s sword… Erti-nim again. Hurry…”
Soon, Cecilia immediately recognized my meaning and handed me Siertia. Then Siertia’s blessing, divine power spread and wrapped her party again.
I told them
“Not everyone is new here. However, it seems that the spirit power felt has become stronger than when I came before. Even though it is in ruins, the blessings of the 6 gods under his command remain, but the unpleasant smell of demon power is spreading thickly.”
To that, Lilia nodded her head in response.
“Honey… No, Yulian-sama is right! There must be a very dense source of magical spirit power somewhere in this place!”
At the word honey, the eyes of the prospective wives, so the heroines, all turned to Lilia. But Lillia had a calm expression. Erin’s expression hardened for a moment.
‘Come to think of it, even when Siertia was resurrected, all six of us never got together.’
However, now was not the time to pay attention to the fight between the two. I checked the system’s notification window again.
—————–

—————–
‘The third sub-quest has been activated.’
Achieved the cadet representative, a prerequisite for that subquest.
Like the other heroines, they all became representatives of the students of their respective religions. Although Lucia was pushed out by me to become the cadet representative.
Even so, the fact that she entered the 6 temples together. As I expected, Lucia seems to be the key to the final main quest.
“Why did you suddenly enter this place? It might be dangerous to continue like this…”
At Cecilia’s words, Lucia shook her head and said,
“Cecile. I have a hunch that I may not be able to get out of here right away.”
At that, Rosette took the magic wand and quickly looked around for a while. And he hurriedly returned and said.
“I think Lucia is right. Originally, this underground space had a marker stone that could return to the ground. Right now I can’t find it even if I use detection magic.”
At those words, Lillia’s expression turned serious.
“So you’re saying you’re stuck underground like this?”
Lillia was right. Saying that the immediate retreat is blocked. The moment I tried to think about it for a moment with my arms crossed at those words. Lucia said.
“I can’t get out, but. Instead, it seems possible to go further underground.”
Everyone saw Lucia. There was no hesitation in her voice.
Lucia’s eyes were different from usual. A blue light flashed in her pink eyes. The moment I saw that look in her eyes, I was convinced.
‘Was Lucia’s role a guide?’
Final main quest. According to the quest notification window just before, I had to find the heart of the 6 temples and go down even further underground.
And unlike other heroines who are embarrassed. Lucia already seemed to know what she had to do.
“Can you find the way, Lucia?”
At my words, she nodded her head.
***
The depths of the 6 underground temples.
From the time I came to that place, the roads were twisted and twisted like a huge labyrinth.
Even the treasure house of the imperial palace, which I had been to with Lilia before, wouldn’t have been able to find the way if it wasn’t for Lilia.
‘It’s much more complicated than the road at that time.’
And the magic power was so thick that it was difficult to breathe. It was incomparable to the time when he dealt with the Snow Wyvern.
But Siertia’s blessing and Saint Lilia’s blessing.
In addition, the heroines naturally used the blessings of the six gods under their command. This is the temple of the 6 gods. As it was underground, some of its power was transmitted to the representatives of the cadets of each sect.
‘It’s as if Jedin’s divine power was contained in her mother’s rosary.’
So, put Eirin and Cecilia, non-combat agents, at the center of the party. The party was advancing through the maze in formation.
The landscape of the maze was quite unfamiliar and bizarre.
‘That’s like…’
It was completely different from the European style of architecture seen in Ireland.
Pipes, like blood vessels, ran along the walls of the labyrinth. And between the walls, which were built like old machines, I could see complicatedly tangled wires.
Even though such electronic or mechanical equipment does not exist in Ireland.
That’s why the faces of the party walking on the path of the labyrinth were full of tension.
“This strange and strange looking wall is like a dungeon.”
But among them, there were people whose eyes twinkled as if they were interested.
It was Chloe. As she said, beyond the dungeon.
Sometimes, there were times when I witnessed the background of an abandoned city or an abandoned factory in the modern world.
I have a past life memory. It is a memory as a modern earthling. So instinctively, I thought that the appearance of this maze might also be related to the truth of the 6 temples.
‘Lucia’s reaction?’
I watched Lucia’s reaction at the head of the party. She didn’t react to the scenery around her. She was silently advancing through the maze.
Perhaps, if it weren’t for Lucia. The party must have lost their way here.
At that time. Said Lilia.
“The fact that the labyrinth is so complicated… Like the Imperial Palace’s treasury, it might mean that there is something in the depths that we must never approach without care.”
“Your Majesty is right.”
I’m still not quite sure what’s in the deepest part of it.
The fact that everyone entered this place was inevitable, not accidental. I had to be honest about what was going to happen in the 6 underground temples.
‘It was written on the notification window of the quest. 6 Survive from the memories of the temple.’
If so, what dangers might exist underground? As all of them are my prospective wives.
How dangerous is this place right now? And also about the current situation. I had to be honest. I opened my mouth.
“I have something to say to everyone. Please listen while following Lucia like this.”
I give them the final main quest. He explained about the Star of Unir.
***
When all explanations are over.
Lucia stopped.
“It looks like we have to enter this place.”
The dead end of the maze. A huge gate was shining there.
“The red gate…”
Chloe said. 3M seems to be a giant gate. The gate was burning blood red.
“Even if I can’t, it must be a type 1 dungeon.”
With that color of the gate, I was able to grasp the level of danger beyond the dungeon. Even if he couldn’t do the red gate like he does now, he was type 1.
The faces of the group were full of tension. But everyone now knows.
“If you still don’t pass through that place… The truth of the 6 temples here. And eternity will never know the truth about Unir, the missing dark goddess. Let’s get in there!”
So said Lilia.
Her status as emperor. Although it was Lilia who had to be the most careful of her own body. I have told all the facts to the people here.
Unir, the goddess of darkness called the evil god in the empire.
Another deity who has now disappeared. That her power is absolutely necessary to prevent the predicted destruction of Island.
And beyond that gate, there was a high probability that there would be a clue to Unir’s whereabouts.
I held onto Siertia tightly.
“A holy sword with the protection of Jedin. And since Her Majesty, who is a saint, is with me.”
The party looked at me at the same time. I spoke.
“And with me and you, there’s nothing to be afraid of.”
Everyone nodded. Everyone in the party crossed the gate together. For a moment, I could feel the distinctive rumbling through the gate.
The party soon entered a new place, the inside of the dungeon.
“Here is…”
Said Lilia. A little while ago, the party was in a narrow maze that seemed to suffocate. Now the surrounding landscape has become wider.
“It is not a peaceful landscape.”
But like Chloe said. Rather, the interior of the dungeon was very bleak.
“Has there been a war?”
Lillia was right. Buildings collapsed everywhere. And it was a mess with buildings burning with fire.
Everywhere you looked, it was in ruins. The sound of explosions continues. It was undoubtedly the middle of a battlefield.
“But such an unfamiliar landscape… No, it wouldn’t be strange if this place were a dungeon.”
Chloe was right. It was a battlefield everywhere. It was not a landscape that could be seen in Island.
It’s like a modern war broke out. It was a landscape of a city on Earth.
‘For a moment. I’m sure the notification window said it was a memory from the 6 temples.’
Quest notification window. I recalled the text written there. The text to survive from the memories of the 6 temples.
And I was somehow familiar with the magical spirit that I felt from my surroundings.
‘It looks just like the plain of Wernigue.’
Roia’s ordeal. In that memory, the very place where the great army of Atlin the Swordsman and the fallen angel Graiel engaged in an all-out war. The appearance of the surroundings was completely different, but the atmosphere of the magical power was similar.
‘Then this dungeon is also the past that the 6 temples remember.’
But it wasn’t the time to stand still. I told my friends
“This is a spacious place that is easy to be discovered by anyone. Hurry up and move places.”
At those words, everyone in the party was wary. Lucia hugged Cecilia, and I hugged Eirin.
Although I felt Lillia’s eyes sharpen. She had to hurry now.
He hurriedly hid in a nearby building. At the same time, gunshots started ringing all around. The gunshot made Lillia frown as if she felt a headache.
“Are you all right, Your Majesty?”
When I put Eirin down, Lilia answered me.
“The current landscape. It’s probably like a landscape from a very distant past. Isn’t it?”
I nodded. Lillia’s body glowed light green at that moment. I knew what that meant.
‘Could it be that Jedin’s oracle is descending?’
And as soon as the light stopped, Lillia opened her mouth again.
“I think I know this place. This place… This memory must be… Jedin and Yunir. Memories of a very distant time when those two gods did not yet exist.”
I focused on Lillia’s words.
