It seems that they have not yet been refined and are in bad shape, but there is no mistaking the evil feeling.

I'm not sure about the Halutzans, but at least we have a clear connection to the invaders. Let's go back once. First we'll make sure Mel is safe. Then we'll look into the others.

The faces nodded at those words and quickly climbed up the rope ladder and returned to the room they had just left.

As it was, when Virum, who was walking at the head of the pack, stepped out the front door to go outside, a wall of light surrounding the house appeared with a sound like high-pitched metal clicking together.

''Tch!''

Virum unleashes a fist along with a tongue lashing, but a slight crack is not enough to destroy it.

On the contrary, the small cracks were repaired in no time at all and were restored in an instant.

''Perhaps it was a sealing ward that used the power of the Holy Tree. It's going to take some time to break this.''

Fumir, who, like Wyrm, fired his attack magic at the wall of light, also made an irritated expression when he saw it being restored.

There, Arthe and Nazri, who remained expressionless as ever, walked up to them.

''Spiritual beast-sama. I'm sorry, but please be patient for a while longer.

This is also for the sake of the spirit animal, and by extension, all the spirits in the world. I beg you to understand.

”You've got to be kidding me! Get the hell out of here!

'Yes, sir! If you do anything terrible to Mel, I won't forgive you!

Although they seem to be paying attention to Hoomil, who is a spirit beast, the other members are acting as if they are out of sight.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

The only thing that can be said for this is that it's a waste of time and effort. It's a ward created by the power of the Holy Tree Master. It's not something that you humans can do to destroy the wards that even spirit beasts would find difficult to destroy.

It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with your friends.

He looked up at his face to see what was wrong with Coonaria and the others, but his gaze was turned toward the direction where Hartsang's house had been, and he couldn't hear their expressions, but ━━

Mel's magic is gone?

That one word was enough to give me an idea of his emotions.

The time goes back a bit, to when Virum and his friends began their investigation.

Meldina and Miserio were receiving Harzang's hospitality.

In addition to the fresh fruits lined up on the table, there were tea cups filled with tea made by Harzun himself.

In contrast to Miserio, who was chewing on them with relish, Meldina did not try to put her mouth on them.

''What's wrong? My wife. These are prepared for you as well as for Master Miselio. Feel free to eat them.

I won't be your wife. Really, Master Harzun is very curious. To you, I'm just a little girl. Why do you do this for me?

Since Miselio, the spirit, doesn't stop her, there is little chance of poisoning, but Meldina, who doesn't want to put it in her mouth if she can, tries to deflect the topic, including the question she had before.

''What, is that a thing?''

Haltsan's mouth loosened at the question, and he slowly stirred his tea and took a breath, then looked at Meldina's face.

'My, because I want everything you have. You are different from other elves in that you have a curious personality, you have the courage to refuse my marriage proposal, and most of all... you are good enough to conquer those ruins.

What?

Meldina's face is filled with astonishment.

Because there was no indication that others had entered the site at all when she had relics.

'Did you think I didn't know that?'

Hartsang's expression was different from before, and his eyes were now looking at his prey.

Meldina reflexively tried to stand up, but for some reason she couldn't get to her feet and was dazed.

When she barely held on to the table for support, all she saw was Miserio asleep, leaning against the cup before she knew it.

At the same time, Meldina's vision also begins to waver.

''What, so...?''

Aside from Miserio, who was crunching down on the food Harzang had prepared for him, Meldina was confused by the intense sleepiness that attacked her, which she hadn't even touched.

''There's no way I'm going to give my spirit-sama a poisonous substance. I just burned a little special incense. There is no harm in it. It's not pleasant to involve Misselio, but this is to protect all the spirits of the world. I have no choice. Now....

Hartsang's eyes catch Meldina's as she looks apologetically at Miserio, who must be falling into a deep sleep.

My wife. My wife, let us be one with me to protect you, my spirits.

(Ville... sorry...)

In spite of her desperate resistance, her consciousness fell into deep darkness.
