“… Say, Shien.”
Lucy, still dragging Shien along, had turned more and more serious the further they went into the mountain.
It couldn’t be helped.
“Do you feel it?”
Lucy whispered her question at Shien.
“Yeah.” Shien nodded. There was no more trace of laziness on his face. Instead, he had a deep frown on him as he spoke, “Originally, I had thought that there was something unnatural on this mountain, but now, it looks like what’s unnatural is this mountain itself.”
That’s right.
After entering the mountain, Shien managed to detect it. This mountain itself seems to be very abnormal. It made the flows of magic power on the mountain move in an organized manner. As it absorbed the magic power in the air, it also forced that magic power to flow toward a certain location. It was obviously abnormal.
“It can’t be…”
Shien thought of a certain possibility.
And Lucy had also thought of the same thing.
“I keep feeling like something was set up on this mountain, that it’s currently enacting an enormous ritual.”
Lucy so spoke.
That was what Shien was thinking as well.
N the past few days, Shien didn’t exactly spend all his time in the library for nothing. While he was constantly memorizing the incantations for astro and enchant magic, he had also gained deeper and deeper understandings of magic itself.
Thus, Shien also thinks that the situation here feels like it’s currently enacting some kind of enormous ritual.
“I can’t think of another explanation for this situation other than being something man-made.”
That’s what Shien believes.
“Are Lord Jacinta and them really preparing to do something in the mortal world? In the Capital at that/”
Lucy had a bad look on her face.
If that really was true, then the mortal and demon race might end up in conflict and battle once mire.
“Just what is that Demon Commander trying to do?” Shien doesn’t understand either, “He knows full well that his actions might end up causing problems for both races, but he’s still doing something like that. It can’t be that he’s Old Demon Faction as well, right?”
Lucy didn’t say anything, but she did not have a good look on her face.
“We…”
Lucy was getting ready to say something.
However, right at that moment, Shien reacted.
“Dodge!”
Shien suddenly yelled out without any hesitation and shot backwards.
“…!”
Lucy also reacted and leaped up without hesitation, escaping from where she was.
“Boom!”
In that same instant, the place where Shien and Lucy once stood exploded, blasting up a wave of dust.
And within it, a humongous creature dove out.
“Gaaaaa——!!!”
A roar came out of its mouth.
For Shien and Lucy, one backed off into the distance while the other jumped up on a large tree as both of them gazed upon that creature.
With but one look, the expressions on both of them changed once more.
It’s because the creature was something that neither have ever seen before.
