Chapter 136 (1/2)
Chapter 136 - Underground (2)
Several minutes had passed since they realized which direction the wind road was flowingArtpe and his party members shared a co a carpet deep into the ground, and they were probably going to dieItIt would be too e to put this story into the hero's tale
“Wind is blowing hard”
“You should hold stillI' if I should bore through the ceiling”
“The slope isn't that steep”
“At this speed, even a one degree gradient is a proble towards the center of the world at ridiculously high speed”
“However, on't dieThe Winter Queen intended for this to happenThere is a destination”
It was uncoina's wordsHe looked at the s the Mana within the windHe wondered how he should retortIn the end, he shrugged his shoulders as he spoke
“All rightI'll trust your wordsHowever, I will also prepare an escape plan”
“Affirmative”
Artpe could use the Blink Boot's optionHe could transport to any location he desiredHe could use this option once each dayIt wouldn't be too hard to escape from this place if he could use that ability
However, the problem remained that a day hadn't passed since he had used that optionThis hy the amount of Mana consumed would be dependent on the distance they traveledIf he was rash in using the ability, Artpe ht become a dried uphere”
It had been a pretty long tiyThis hy she insisted that she was e other for her hardshi+p
“Be patient”
[Nyaa nyaa nyaah]
“I don't have anything”
They were underground, so how could there be any negative energy here!Maybe, if a few hundred thousand year old fossil suddenly woke up as an Undead…
[Nyaa!?]
“······ahThat's right”
Roa had been quiet up until nowWhen Roa started to assert herself, it ht
Artpe was about to burst out laughing when Sienna tilted her head as she asked her question
“Did an Undead really show up? I don't feel the energy that would accompany it”
“It is the same for meThere is no way I wouldn't know if there was an Undead nearby”
“It isn't an UndeadIf you consider our luck, it is probably so much worse”
He stroked the head of Roa when she stuck her head out froained her vitalityArtpe spoke to his party htThe Winter Queen had a specific destination in ht have wanted us to help them”
At this point, even Artpe picked up on the hintsHe had never encountered the about theround”
“A race that lives underground······?We are heading towards theht now?”
“Yes”
Artpe closed his eyesThe wind road was still carrying the the wind at a much faster rate
“Dwarves They are like the Elves within the Forest of EternityThey are one of the other races that boasts a distinguished custoo to head undergroundThey are a mythical race that only appears in history”
He was sure of it nowArtpe's Read All Creation ability could sense itAt the end of this road, the country of the underground race aiting for theht be other beings beside the Dwarves waiting for Artpe's party
“Aren't dwarves the et race?They carry around hahters and ht not be all true”
At Maetel's naive question, Vadinet let out a bitter laughter
“It has been a very long time since the Dwarves made an appearance in our historyI am of this era, so I have only studied up on records of the distant pastThese docuMost of the information know about the Dwarves are inaccurateThe authors of these books ination, so the information had been distorted in odd waysI'm sure some of it is correct, but…”
“However,race”
“Ahjussi said that?”
“Yes”
As expected of a wandering merchant, he must have developed the skill to bullshi+tHowever, Artpe didn't go out of his way to destroy Maetel's fantasyHe didn't have to since they would bethe Dwarves soon
Above all else, Artpe didn't know much about the Dwarves eitherIn his past life, the Dwarves were never featured in the story of the hero or the DeThey had been absent
At the very least, the Dwarves hadn't appeared above ground when Artpe, who had been the weakest aht have made an appearance after his death, but he doubted they would have been capable of influencing the tide of warThat was his opinion
'However, the Winter Queen guided us to this place, so there y that Roa is responding in a sensitive round, because they are fighting this energy'
It was as if a piece of the puzzle, which he couldn't solve in his past life, had clicked into placeArtpe was srumpy, pulled at his cheek, but he was unresponsiveRoa, ithin Artpe's arht from her eyes
[Nyaa nyaa! Nyaa nyaa nyaa nyaa!]
“You should have been this aggressive e fought against the Four Heavenly King”
[Nyaa nyaahhhhhh!]
Roa said, 'It is a sin to point out a woman's weakness', as she scratched his arina, who had been silent, spoke up at that ht in the future”
“You saw correctly, ReginaEveryone get ready for a fight”
A purple mass of Mana appeared above Artpe's palmIt was a phenomena that occurred when he coalesced several thousand strands of Mana String into a ballIt looked very s his Materialization spellThere was no way it could be negligible
“Are you going to destroy the entire underground, Artpe?”
“Can you not look atme”
“SoonThere is 4 seconds left”
“Four seconds?There is still no end to this roadkoo-ahhhk!?”
When Regina's words ended, the wind road suddenly accelerated!At the saentle slope suddenly steepenedThe pressure h altitude!
