Chapter 196
Decision
Meanwhile, the Flint Expedition was in a state of emergency to rescue Ferda.
They couldn't leisurely search the room with the magic tools.
As the captain of the expedition, Erica returned to the entrance hall they were using as a base and commanded the other adventurers.
"Found anything?"
The adventurers answered her question.
Ẃ е_b̄ n̊ о̄ v̂_е́l Е̃ num а̇
"The left side seems to have been used as a dormitory, so there was nothing notable."
"We found quite a few magic tools on the right side, but they seem to be unrelated items..."

Both the right and left sides were complete busts.
The only thing left was the front path she had led.
"Damn it, why did they have to get caught in a trap like that..."
"What can you do..."
Е n̈ ù ṁ а̄
It wasn't something they could even criticize as rash.
Living as adventurers, this kind of thing was commonplace, and even veteran adventurers had turned tail first.
They tried to find some clue using the Eastern script they'd hastily learned, but they were all useless.
The only thing they'd figured out was that the study they went to was called Boyangsil, and the room leading down from it was called Eumyangsil.

'From the names alone, they sound like training rooms...'
But the problem was why such a training room would close on its own.
Ẇе́ b n̊о v̄ еl̊ Е nùm a
Surely Ferda wouldn't arbitrarily set a restriction in this crazy place just because he wanted to train?
"...No, is it possible?"
Since he was such an outrageous human being, the thought crossed her mind that maybe he would.
Anyway, Erica just hoped she could rescue him safely.
"Eri Captain!"
Adventurers came running from the front, making a fuss.

"We found it!"
Her heart dangled.
She suppressed her expectations as much as possible and coolly examined what they brought.
But what was visible from the first page was a blueprint.
And it was a blueprint of this Gyeonghui Palace at that.
"Where did you find this?!"
Enǔm ӓ
"It seems they entered the Palace Lord's room, and when they randomly opened the books there, this one came out!"
"Since the Palace Lord had to oversee everything, naturally it would be in that place."

A map is the eyes of adventurers, and this is like a clairvoyance that sees through everything.
Erica roughly flipped through the book, searching for content about Boyangsil and Eumyangsil.
"Here it is. Since ancient times, Gyeonghui Palace borrowed the power of love, and considered cultivating emotions in Boyangsil important to nurture that love."
"Magic through love?"
W̊ е̂ b̀ n о̌ v̇ĕ l E ṅ ü ḿ ӑ
"This isn't some hero show for kids, does that actually work?"
"Why? People with Red Circles operate their circles with emotions, don't they?"
"It's always the half-assed know-it-alls who talk like that, tsk tsk."
"Turn off the local broadcasts. I need to interpret."

Crushing those trying to fight, Erica continued interpreting.
"Sometimes, despite men and women having feelings for each other, they can't easily... blah blah, acts contrary to the spirit of the first Palace Lord of Gyeonghui Palace. Opening of Eumyangsil... oh, found it."

"What do we have to do?"
"It says it automatically opens again within 12 hours."
"12 hours?"
"Then considering the safety margin, it's cutting it close, isn't it?"
"Considering the return time, that's true, but let me read more... ah, there's more. A way to get out faster... huh?"
Erica frowned.

"Wait, this word... is this how it's interpreted?"
"Why do you ask?"
"So this... is correct but..."
Erica pressed her brow, grimacing.
She re-interpreted it several times, but the meaning was clear.
"...If they don't share affection, they can't get out?"
Е ǹ um̀ӓ
"Huh?"
An uncomfortable silence circulated.

"If it's affection..."
"That seems... right?"
What kind of affection would adults share?
Everyone knows, but no one mentioned it.
W̆ е̄ b̄ n̂ŏ v̇ е ĺ Е̂ n um̆а̄
"Wait a minute..."
That embarrassment was momentary.
"Then to get out of that room safely, the Armor Knight and Regent Ferda..."
"Have to... share love?"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
A 2-meter-tall suit of armor and the relatively slender man Ferda.
The picture doesn't form.
Е̇n̆ umа
"So... to share that love..."
"Ahem!"
"Quiet!"
No, even trying to picture it, only terrible and dirty things came to mind.
But there was something even more painful.
The fact that someone had to tell them this.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
Right when their camaraderie was deepening.
They began a fierce game of chicken.
In that situation, Erica calmly designated one person.
"...Rize-ssi?"
"Yes, Captain?"
"How about you deliver the message?"
Е̄ ń u m̈а
"M-me???"
"You go tell them to just quickly get it over with and share affection... that... and come back..."
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
"N-no, that... I, I????"
Erica calmly told him what to do, and Rize clasped his hands together, repeating what he'd said.
He didn't want to say that to Ferda, who had a partner.
And this situation that no one wanted.

"Huh?"
Virgil, who had been looking around, spotted something and made a sound.
"Th-that... it's the Armor Knight!"
"...What?"
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
"That can't be?"
Everyone looked like they couldn't believe it.
Е̂ n ŭṁа
If they'd tried to escape by breaking down the door, the whole building should have shaken.
At a depth where they could be buried alive, even cornered, Ferda wouldn't have allowed such recklessness.
Then who is the Armor Knight coming out there?
But soon everyone could confirm what the archer had seen.
Just as he said, the Armor Knight was coming out.
The Armor Knight was carrying the exhausted Ferda on her back, holding the books he'd gathered wrapped in a cloth, walking toward them.

The Armor Knight seemed to see them too, awkwardly raising a hand in greeting.
Their return led not to relief, but to a shudder.
* * *
"Mmm..."
Ferda woke up on the Armor Knight's back.
The armor on the back was uncomfortable, but he couldn't ask to be put down right now.
Ẇ è b n о v_e̊ l̃ Е̄ ň ũ mã
'My body won't move properly...'
A sense of exhaustion throughout his body gave Ferda no choice.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
What a rotten body.
Ferda carefully checked his body's condition.
In his danjeon, he could clearly feel a heavy sensation he'd never felt before.
'Shadow Circle, 2nd stage.'
Е̄ n̄ ů m̀ а̂..і d.
Something created not by Ferda's will, but by external force.
It tried to consume Ferda.
It was a situation where he had no choice but to die, but it wasn't necessarily so.
'I've reached 5th Circle.'
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
The stage called Master Mage, a realm ordinary talents can't reach even with blood-sweating effort.
'Completed two circles in a single day...'
W е̂ b̂ nоv̌e l̃ _Е̌ñüm̈а
It's absurd enough that no one would believe it.
Even talking to Ferda himself, who had reached 8th Circle, he'd ask how that's possible.
Of course, Ferda's answer is fixed.
'Eleanor.'
Though it was just an illusion, with her help, Ferda was able to push back that Shadow Circle.
Ferda lay on the back, quietly opening his eyes.

Erica, walking in step, glanced at Ferda and was startled.
"Oh? You're awake?"
"Yes."
She had a very troubled expression.
"Eri Captain, did you rescue us?"
"..."

"Eri Captain?"
"Yes?"

"I asked if you rescued us."
Hearing those words, Erica carefully looked around and asked this:
"By any chance, do you not know what happened either?"
"I don't know. I was unconscious."

"When we tried to rescue you... the Armor Knight seemed to have found some way."
"Don't tell me she broke a wall or something..."
"That's not what happened."
"Is that so?"

"She did break something but..."

"It's nothing."
Erica closed her mouth.
She had a heavy face like someone struck by Trauma's attack.
'Why are they all like this?'
He couldn't figure it out at all.
Turning his head to make eye contact with the others, they had similar reactions.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
Some with pitying eyes.
Some with eyes like they'd witnessed a horrifying existence.
And some who didn't know but seemed to think whatever, it's fine as long as you're okay.
Seeing those eyes, Ferda became certain of one thing.
'Seems I went through a rough journey while unconscious.'
Ferda decided to think that way and moved on to another topic.

"When do we arrive?"
"One more hour and we'll arrive. The adventure time... might end in 22 hours..."

Erica's words trailed off.
The Armor Knight's steps stopped, and the others' steps followed suit.
Ferda turned his head to look at Erica.
She gave a stop signal with her hand.
Ŵе b nо̄ v eĺ Е̂ n̈ u m̂ а
"What is it?"
Her eyes were fixed on one spot.
She was a woman who never let her guard down in the Demon Land, but now was different.
It was the look of someone who'd found a proper formidable enemy.

"Let me down for a moment."
Nod.
Е̄ň ǔm̈ а́ .і̆d
The Armor Knight put him down, and Ferda carefully stood on both feet.
He had no strength, but he could barely stand.
He could see what Erica was looking at.
And he understood why she made that face.
"You are..."
A black robe that suits this black and gray land.

That's why the white skin seems to shine even more.
That contrasting appearance led to a sense of alienation, and that alienation led to wariness.
'Gokma.'
One of Godwin's Seven Scars, the last remaining Noble-class demon.
"Nice to meet you. Expedition members, and Captain Eri. We're acquainted, aren't we?"
"...That's right."
Ѐnů m̂ а
Erica hadn't forgotten the humiliation she'd suffered from him.
Moreover, the fact that he deliberately spoke like that while knowing she was an Iorga Spawn irritated her even more.

Excitement is poison to a mage.
She asked calmly.
"Why are you here?"
"Why am I here? What's strange about a demon being in the Demon Land?"

He let out an unpleasant laugh and took a step forward.
"Who the hell are you? Piss off right now!"
As the belligerent Jonathan Sina tried to step forward with his axe raised, Erica blocked his path.
Her eyes said this:

Not now.
Gokma applauded that action.

"Excellent choice. I didn't want to see blood separately either. I want to applaud you exhausted folks, not become a new trial."
"Then will you just leave quietly?"
"I'd like to, but first I want to hear your review. How is it? My work."
Work.
Everyone could tell what that work was.
"Is Trauma yours?"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"Trauma... that's a good name. Naming things isn't really my style. Thanks to you, I got a good name. Let's call it Trauma from now on."
Erica frowned.
"It was a shoddy piece of trash. Did you think you could do anything with that?"
"It'll work. You guys have 'excellent' mental strength to overcome any trial, but what about ordinary humans?"
"Other humans..."
She knew what kind of illusions Trauma brings.

It makes them suffer through their greatest regret.
And with prolonged exposure, that pain leads to salvation.

That act isn't just about making people suffer.
'There's a separate intent.'
He already knew they'd go to Gyeonghui Palace, and laid Trauma in the path they could take.
If he wanted to fight, he could have waited at Gyeonghui Palace.

'But he didn't.'
For what reason?
The Demon Land is the demons' last homeland.
Seeing those trying to defile that homeland, it would be the instinct of Dragon Spawns to not tolerate it.

He may be a special individual among demons, but he was one of the Dragon Spawns, so that instinct should remain.
There's a clear purpose clear enough that defiling the homeland doesn't matter.

"Looking at your expressions, Trauma seems to have become quite an excellent work. Though it needs a bit more supplementation."
Gokma sneering, and the adventurers protesting in battle readiness.
"Let's meet again later."
Gokma stepped back and drew a vertical line.
Following his finger, space opened with dizzying colors shimmering like heat haze.
Gokma threw his body into it.

"Ah, right."
He turned back as if he'd forgotten something, just as he was about to step forward.
"This is a small gift."
He greatly spread space with his finger.
A completely different scale from the space he made to leave.
Just the length looked over 8 meters, a huge rift.

Kugugeung-.
But as if even that space wasn't enough, the object struggled, tearing space and bursting out.

No wonder it wasn't enough.
It was a colossal monster, standing 10 meters tall.
Kwoooooo!!
A roar spreading shockwaves.
W е̊ḃñо̌v̄ѐ l E n̂ ū m ǎ
That roar engraves despair into the cells of the body.
"E, Eri Captain...!"
"What do we do...!"
Having stayed up all night and run to finish in a day, their minds and bodies were exhausted.

In this desperate moment, her judgment was needed.
'Thought it would end smoothly...'
W̌ebn̈õv̂_еl̀ Énu ṁ á
Erica had to make a decision.
If she revealed her identity and fought, she could definitely catch that monster.
Her double life would end, but everyone would survive.
Just as she was about to make that decision, someone stepped in front of them.
"Armor Knight?"
A large man in ordinary-looking armor.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Right now, when no one including herself could take a single step, he boldly walked forward.
The person inside that armor had seen that monster more than anyone.
So she's not afraid.
If there's something to fear, it's losing precious people.
'I must not hesitate here.'
Since it's something no one else can handle, she must handle it herself.

Valdrova makes her decision.
She quietly clenched her fist.

The gauntlet that nothing could pierce screamed as if it would shatter any moment.
'Without hesitation...'
Sweep it away in one blow.

Just as that fist aimed at the colossal monster.
Kureureung—.
What broke Valdrova's concentration was a sudden thunderclap.
The Demon Land is a dead land where everything has died.

Thunder striking is impossible.
Clumps of information too hard to process were shoved into Erica's head.

Before she could understand everything, her instinct screamed.
"Everyone get down!"
At Erica's command, everyone crouched.
At the same time, something gigantic fell in front of the colossal monster.
Pajijijik!!!
A massive lightning strike instantly turning the world white.

And a huge wave created by a heavy impact striking down.
The bodies of those crouching floated up about 2 meters.
"Cough, cough..."
"Is everyone okay?"
The aftermath was large, but no one died.

"What was that lightning?"
"Don't tell me the Armor Knight has such an ability...?"

But the Armor Knight, Valdrova, just stands there with a clueless expression.
Her power comes from her fists, not from the sky.
'This lightning is...'
Valdrova feels a sense of déjà vu.
Е̃ ǹ û m̃ã
Having lived long, she knows well.
The only one who can strike down lightning like this and sweep things away is one person.
They raised their eyes to where the colossal monster was.
In that spot where gray-brown dust swirled, a similar-sized silhouette had taken its place.

It revealed itself with a hearty laugh.
-Kuhahahahat!! Where does a minnow think it's crawling!?
