Chapter 126 - Her Her & Her (2)

“Winter Sprite’s Blessing.”

“Thank you!”

When Regina casted her spell, the fire type Mana around Etna died down a little bit.Etna couldn’t regulate her own body temperature and Mana.One had to be a magician of Regina’s caliber to calm down Etna’s Mana.

“Your Mana resistance is ridiculous.”

“I’m sorry. I tried to accept it, but….”

Of course, this happened under the premise that Etna had allowed Regina’s magic to work on her.

“Where did you get acquainted with a monster like her?”

“Mmm.You see….Things happened before and we received help from her.”

It seemed Regina hadn’t realized the identity of Etna.

It was to be expected.Regina had amazing abilities, but Etna was one of the strongest Demons.She was over level 370.Moreover, her Mana resembled fire rather than Demonic energy.One had to be like Artpe, who had known her in their past lives, or an Evil Reflector like Sienna, who was the antithesis of all Demons.Other than them, it wasimpossible to discern Etna’s identity at a glance.

“The world is large.Thank you for making me realize that.”

“I’m the one that should be thanking you.I never expected someone young other than Artpe to be so strong.It is surprising.”

“······.”

Normally, Regina would have refuted the idea that she was young.However, Regina was focused on another portion of the woman’s words.

“Do you know Artpe too?”

“Yes.As expected, you are one of Artpe’s party member.So…..It seems Artpe isn’t with you guys?”

“······at this point, I admit he is an extraordinary man.”

Etna thought Artpe might be hiding.Her eyes were filled with anticipation as she looked at her surrounding.When Regina saw this, she was taken aback.How many women did Artpe have!As if Sienna understood Regina’s feeling, she smirked.

“So Ms Etna….?Why are you here?”

“I’m looking for something.I…..found it in an ancient magic tome.I learned that the item I’m looking for is in a ruin in Glacia.”

“Ruin?”

Artpe had told them about a ruin.

Was it a coincidence?

Sienna and Regina had a bad feeling that they might be looking for the same ruin as Etna.Sienna thought about the item they had to retrieve.It was something requested by Artpe.Sienna asked Etna a question.

“May I ask what you are looking for······?”

“I don't know the name.I just know that it was a sculpture carved out of the first ice.”

“······I see.”

It was the same item!

“What are you guys doing here? That’s right.You haven’t said anything about Artpe yet.Where is he?”

“Oppa and unni is moving separate from us.He said they’ll be here after they are done with their tasks, but I’m not sure when….That is why Rei and I are here.We were sent ahead.…..we are here to find a ruin.”

“A ruin······?”

Etna also picked up on the implication of Sienna’s words.

“Are you perhaps aiming for the sculpture too?”

“If I’m to be precise, oppa wants it.”

Sienna’s tone of voice was asking Etna to take a step back.It was an item wanted by a man, whom she was interested in.Etna snorted.

“If Artpe asked me in person, it might have been a different story.There is no way I’ll back off.All right.How about if I do this?I’ll take the sculpture, and I’ll make Artpe search me out.Ooh-hue-hue-hue.”

“Heeng.As expected, events are turning out this way.”

Sienna was a very smart child.There was nothing to be gained by fighting over the Artifact when they hadn’t found the ruin yet.Since Artpe wasn’t here, she was well aware of the fact that they had no chance against Etna.This was quite obvious to her.

This was why she immediately came to a decision.

“All right.Let’s do this.The ruin we are looking for probably has a lot of other Artifacts aside from the sculpture.That is why we should cooperate with each other to find the ruin.Ms Etna can have the sculpture, and you can yield everything else to us.What do you think?It is a good deal, right?”

“Uh.That ruin has a lot of ma…..It has a lot of things that’ll be of help…...”

“Ms Etna, don’t you needRei’s magic to operate here?”

“Ggooh-ooong.”

As expected, Sienna was a child that knew how to make a deal!Etna gripped her head as she struggled with the decision.In the end, she weakly nodded her head.

“All right.Let’s do that….”

“So we are forming a temporary party now!”

“······you have my respect, Sienna.”

Both sides had a rough idea as to the identity of one another, yet this was how a weird party was established.It consisted of members of the hero's party and one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

“We have to find it before spring?Artpe said that?”

“Huh, Ms Etna?You didn’t know about that?”

“That’s right.In truth, I acquired the information about the sculpture by luck, so I came running here without much of a plan.”

On the outside, Etna looked elegant and graceful.However, when one listened to her words, it was evident that her style was to charge forward in an unsophisticated manner.Sienna had thought that an exchange of information would be possible with Etna.She frowned when she realized that she had made a mistake.

“Artpe said so.There are many Dungeons here, and they will be difficult for us at our level.We can use that woman.”

“You are able to say such words with me in front of you.Who is this young lady······?”

“Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha.”

Even Artpe didn’t know the exact location of the ruin.It was more precise to say that it was meaningless to know the exact location of the ruin.The ruin was located at the most northern reaches of Glacia, and it periodically used magic to move its location.

“When spring arrives, it’ll be gone.It’ll only show up in the winter.”

“I came here without knowing that….I guess my timing was great. Holy cow.How could Artpe know so much?….I wonder how he grew up?I’m sure he became more handsome.My intuition as a woman is telling me that my statement is true.”

“It is true that he has become really handsome, but…Oppa is really busy right now.You probably won’t be able to meet him.”

Sienna approached most humans and non-humans with an affable smile, but she acted a bit differently when it came to the Demon Etna.The biggest problem was the fact that Etna was a person that was capable of taking away Artpe by force.It would have been strange if Sienna hadn’t been wary of Etna.

“What a meanie····· Oh my.I think I can sense a Dungeon over there.”

“Let’s check it out.It is said that the magical ruin disguised itself to look like the Dungeons of Glacia.It means we have to enter every Dungeon if we want to find the ruin.”

In truth, that was was a lie.Artpe had taught her a special sign that she could look for.They didn’t really need to go deep into the Dungeons.She could make this judgement early on, and she was told by Artpe to pull out if it was the wrong one.
