Chapter 232 - 123. The Tombs (2/2)
I tried to look through [Mind’s Eye], but his information didn’t want to come out
There could be only one reason why ree: hiding one’s face
If it was a siic, I should still be able to see through it with no problem, but the story would become a bit more complicated if it was an ‘illusion’ type spell
If he had hidden his face away using a considerably high-level illusion spell, then it’d be really hard to analyse hi on hness?”
“…Well, I was just wondering to ic happened to be your speciality or not”
Nor much wider at the same ti your face?”
“…The burn scars on my face are quite severe, that’s why, sir”
I continued to stare suspiciously at him, but Norman didn’t explain any further
He even tried to change the topic and asked me a question, instead “May I ask, what’s your impression on titalos so far, sir?”
“That opinion of this place being a different world? Yeah, it was right all along”
A large variety of lifeforms lived in this place
From the likes of carnivorous plants that preyed on other animals, to the swarons and their huge bodies, all of those things could be found down here
However, what interestedsome bones of these wyverns, which were reputedly the descendants of dragons, was one hell of a good fortune for me
And the story about even the Vaht as well Even those undead would find it pretty tough to survive in this place
I asked hi until we reach our destination?”
We had already spent a week in this place, but we still hadn’t discovered the location as to where this ‘angel’ was hiding away Nope, the only things we’ve found so far were trivial little ruins
But then, Norman tilted his head in confusion “We’ve already arrived, sir”
“I’m sorry?”
When I asked back in a fluster, he pointed at the large ruin currently being investigated by Hans over yonder “It’s over there, sir”
The place he pointed to was in the central section of the city of ancient ruins, where a single altar could be seen
“That’s where the angel is hiding” Norerous location Do you still wish to take a look inside?”
“Hang on, can we go inside now?”
He nodded “Yes, we can I’hness witnesses thatas we do not step past the doorway and into the burial chamber itself, we should be safe”
Just aiting for us in there for hiuess there was no need to agonise over it
According to Queen Rox’s records, the layout of the tomb was such that even if you entered it, you should still be able to safely escape froht, let’s get going”
I figured that it wouldn’t be such a bad idea to take a gander
Under Noruidance, we found the staircase hidden below the altar and walked further down underground
The path at the end of the stairs branched off into several passageways
“That existence is truly a horrifying‘tool’”
Norht fro staff
We came across more ancient rune letters, but Norether to rapidly decipher them all And thanks to their effort, ere able to choose the correct path
“That single ‘tool’ was enough for the first Holy Emperor, Ordin Olfolse, to be called the son of the Gods”
Nor our path
“It is said that every king of the huht of his ‘sword’”
The wall began sliding to the side and yet another passageway revealed itself to us
“This place, where the royal palace of Aihrance sits above, used to be a territory belonging to the Theocratic Empire in ancient times In truth, it was actually the e of Norman, Alice, Hans, and uardian protecting the throne of Gaia, the sword and shi+eld of the Goddess… While there are reeted us was aintricate and varied carvings depicting mythical tales on the surface
Norman reached out with his hand and injected Mana into the door It reacted to the Mana and began opening up autorinding noises as it split left and right
And then, light began seeping out
Aura purelyout like waves of a vast ocean
“…I call it with this naap of the doore… We saw the interior of a teht A throne could be seen
On it was the ‘individual’ suspected of being Ordin Olfolse, the first Holy Eolden areous cereure perched upon the throne
And right in front of the throne, an i in the air
Hans, Alice, and I dazedly looked up We had to look up to take in the sight of this ‘grand and noble existence’
Its huge body was at least twenty s covered in thick ar ar up there
Its surrounding airspace was filled with various cogwheels that were slowly spinning away
Countless spears and blades were attached to it, and the first iot was… It looked like a small airborne fortress
Hundreds of crystal spheres eht and continued sending out waves of divinity
This divinity fors that had been spread wide open to keep this giant afloat in the air
Inside its iole a bone-chilling glare

Not a single word I could think of was enough to describe the overwhelave off
However…
“Yup, coht call”
It was indeed worth my time to come all the way here in the end
