Chapter 119 – One Who Plays Around with Souls

When the dazzling light subsided, the giant tree, including its roots had disappeared pletely. What left was a huge gaping hole.

Aaron had exerted more power than I imagined, perhaps because it's his first battle after a long time.

[Wasn't that a bit too much?]

[No, I think I am not overdoing things at all.]

Yesterday I released Bloody Ptarmigan to kill the Goblin Shaman. In the process, I toppled all the trees standing in between me and my target.

By parison, Aaron's only 'victim' was a single tree. After I saw this, I could somewhat tell the difference in our ability and fighting method.

Of course, I won't deny that my fighting method was crude. At the very least, I had to fix my reliance on Greed's secret skills. I should treat them more like an ace in the hole as they consumed a lot of status. As for Greed, he won't mind at all if I keep using them….

Reminiscing about that annoying partner of mine, I instinctively grasped the holy sword in my hand tighter.

[Such an effective first strike]

[Hahaha, indeed it is. O Miria, can you please handle the hobgoblins that are left behind?]

[Yes, leave them all to me!]

[Well said]

Happy from being praised by Aaron, Miria quickly turned her attention to the monsters that surrounded us.

At that moment Miria turned to me, her gaze spoke to me without a word.

I will be able to do it. Her face was unmistakably that of a warrior.

Being stared at like that, I could only responded in kind.

[Shall we continue. Fate?]

[…..alright.]

The goblin shaman's magic power had grown weaker, but he's still alive. As evidence, I'm still here in Roxy's body.

Ignoring the noise of battle raging behind us, me and Aaron jumped down the pit.

We continued to fall in the midst of darkness, until the bottom could be seen at last.

It was glowing in a thin red light. I was expecting a surprise attack, but found none.

[What in the world is this place…]

[Looks like an ancient ruins. The floor is glowing light intermittently.]

[Somewhat similar to the lights at the Military district.]

[Fumu, indeed it is]

I never expected that such a place actually lied deep under the hobgoblin forest.

It says a lot when Aaron who are familiar with the old capital didn't know about this place. No way we could see the whole picture just from the lights on the floor. Anyways, it's a rather wide place.

The place reminded me of the great chasm just beyond the green valley of Gallia. Back then, it was where the fossil of an extinct ancient monster slept. There, together with Roxy, we fought a degraded machine angel, and unearthed a rare mineral. It was that kind of experience, but let's take it aside for now.

Even so, this place is probably also….. before I could finish my thought Aaron had already said it.

[Why is a Gallian ruin in this place!?]

[If Eris was with us, she might be able to explain this…..but she's not with us at the moment.]

[We can only keep marching forward now.]

[Yes.]

As I carefully checked the floor, I noticed blood trail. It was new, seeing how it hasn't dried yet.

Aaron also bent his knees to confirm.

[This should've e from the injury that I inflicted. Look, it's leading to the entrance of the ruins]

Like he said, the blood trail was left behind in a haste. Judging from the amount, it must've been a considerably heavy blood loss.

It also had some difficulty in walking. I noticed a sign that it was dragging its feet.

[It seems to be quite spent already. There should not be any problem in handling it now, Fate]

[Yeah, but it's a monster capable of manipulating other's souls after all. It may still have some hidden ace that we don't know of]
