145. Deltain (2)
uh-huh!
The earth shakes like thunder.
It rang loudly, as if to show the dignity of the ruler.
It also affected the forces under the control of Elysee.
“Ugh, uh… … .”

My ego almost shook, but I managed to hold on as if someone was holding me.
‘Is it the power of an oath?’
Was it useless to me, or was it the students’ feelings?
it’s probably good
“It’s time to end this damn chase.”
He opened his hand and summoned the four spirits that were sleeping in the ring.

Manticore in front, countless troops behind.
‘Firstly… … .’
As the peer of the Manticore, it hits the troops in chaos first.
With Leviathan in the form of a sword, he spurted the ground and threw himself into the crowd.
A few awakened knights fought back, but in such a mess, it’s better to be alone than the majority.
They delved into each other without missing the moment when movement was restricted.
in the middle of the crowd.
He moved his sword in it.
straight line.
If it had been someone else, I would have described it as dancing wildly, but what I can do is my own sword, ‘nameless’, who has thrown away all the marks of the academic award.
The ‘hyung’ drawn in a straight line came to mind only once.
Sugar aaah!
In an instant, half of the troops evaporated.
“Wow!”
The Manticore, excited by the smell of blood, also began to rush.
The real mess started.
To Manticore, both me and Ermel’s troops just look like ‘prey’.
However, Ermel’s troops relentlessly pursue me whether or not my comrades are torn out by Manticore.
Because that’s Elise’s will.
In fact, it is like a doll with no self.
It is safe to say that it is the lower limbs, not the head, that move them.
Anyway, the stage was set.
Now is the time to really carry out my purpose.
‘I will bury you in this desert.’

Most of the troops of Ermel’s side were gathered here.
You can’t deal with all of these.
However, you can tie them all together.
That Manticore.
That guy is the key.

Manticores move by making passages under the sands of the desert.
Its movement leaves huge traces in the desert.
Also, the nest it lives in is built like a cavity deep underground in the desert.
right below this.
I’m going to seal all of these guys down here.
how?
‘Just like this.’
A huge amount of points was pushed into Leviathan to create a huge aura, and then hit the floor as it was.
thud!
With a huge rumble, there was a crackling sound, and the sands of the desert were quickly sucked into the hole.
Ermel’s troops don’t even think about leaving this quagmire to catch me in the middle.
As if holding on to me is the reason for my existence, I rather come closer to the center.
Nice to see you.
I can tie them up at once.
As if in a zombie movie, zombies attack a human being, numerous troops cling to me like a swarm of bees, and are gradually sucked under the guise.
I was the first to get to the bottom, pushing back and pushing them away from trying to catch me.
Truly a huge space.
Although the Manticore is a large entity, it is more spacious than necessary.
Just the right size to bury all those troops.
They kept falling into this basement looking for me.
Those who were not adept at manipulating magical powers fell and died with their whole bodies broken.
Also, this subterranean cavity was dark enough that all the light was leaking out of the hole I had dug, and that wasn’t enough of humans and sand that kept falling.
I can fully see them struggling in the dark looking for me.
In the dark they were quickly subdued.
It was easy to deal with if you gave a blow to those who fell.
It took less than an hour for this vast cavity to fill up.
Among the dogs, the normal ones continued to attack, but the shock of the falling was not enough, and he couldn’t control his body properly.
It’s an opportunity for me.
He summoned the four spirits in the ring to join the battle.
This narrow cavity was filled with fire, water, wind, sand, and man.
The wet sand became sticky, limiting their movements, and they were baked at high heat.
It dried quickly in the wind, and it hardened as it was, making it impossible to move.
“Come on, now… … .”

My gaze turned to the Manticore.
Like the Ermel troops, he is also in the shape of a pottery, and he is unable to squash.
“I have no ill feelings towards you.”
He picked up Leviathan and cut off the man’s head as it was.
I took the Manticore’s core, and I also collected its corpse.
This is not only leather, but also has the properties of metal, making it a preferred material for the workshop.
“Then… … .”
Now it’s my turn to collect the relics of the ancient civilization, which is my original purpose.
It’s not far from here.
“expression.”
When you command Balo, a dog of the earth attribute, to make a path to the destination, the ground in front of you automatically opens and makes a path.
Effie lights a fire to light the way ahead, and Sylphy continues to blow oxygen into the wind.
As I was walking for a while, my footsteps came to a standstill.
Unusual energy felt in front of this.
“Keep your feet, stop.”
The road stopped with only one layer left in the underground dungeon.
It is clearly seen as ‘new’.
Up front, here’s what I was looking for.
However, this dungeon does not allow unauthorized persons to enter.
You must prove your qualifications to enter.
If you forcefully enter, this dungeon will collapse.
The proof of qualification in question is simple.
only if you have the key.
The problem is the whereabouts of the key, which is already in my hands.
‘This is it.’
The core of the Manticore that I had with me a while ago.
This is the key to get in there.

Manticore was not only the king of this desert, but at the same time, he was also a watchman protecting the relics of this ancient civilization.
I circled around the dungeon and made another path.
While groping for a while,
‘found.’
Finally found the key hole.
I cleaned the surroundings with a more careful mind.
Then, a huge picture appeared.
Looking back, it seems that there was a painting when I got this ‘new eye’.
Even when I get the legacy of the super-ancient civilization where the original Lucas, not me, was sleeping in Novrose.
What was not seen then is now visible.
‘I never described it.’
That’s weird.
It is true that the heritage of the ancient civilizations made it difficult to access the sleeping place, but he did not describe it as if it was outdated and meant something.
But things that I did not describe are so clearly shown.
The picture was surrounded by a single man with what appeared to be hundreds of weapons.
The person standing in the middle is not described in detail, but somehow it felt familiar.
‘It must be an illusion. It’s nothing to worry about.’
Anyway, it’s not the first time something that I’ve never described has popped up.

Moreover, when did I ever see the man pictured in the picture?
It must have been a human at least thousands of years ago.
Now is not the time to worry about such a small picture.
Near the heart of the man depicted in the picture.
There is a hole through which the core of this Manticore can be inserted.
When you push it in slowly, the core of the Manticore is absorbed like a melt, and it spreads along the picture.
Eventually, when all the paintings were stained with the core of the Manticore, the earth axis began to shake.
The outer wall moved and split according to the shape of the weapon, creating a path.
It was very dark inside.
It was not identified even by my ‘Shinan’, nor was it revealed by the fire of the blood.
blood-blood-
Even the four spirits trembled in fear, as if reluctant to go inside.
“Good job. Go in and rest.”
It’s been hard for us to be together so far.
I summoned the four spirits into the ring and looked into the abyss.
The darkness seemed to absorb even the surrounding light.
But what is clear is that something inside me is calling me.
‘I have no choice but to go.’
scary.
But there was something more terrifying to me.
To prevent that from happening, I have no choice but to step forward.

“This is Delta… … .”
Probably because it is located in a desert area, Delta was quite barren for the size of the city.
Rather than feeling that the wall was solid, it seemed that there was meaning in just standing it.
Because of the desert area, there is no need for a separate defense.
“Prove your identity.”
They took out Grasco’s student ID and faculty ID.
“Grassola… … Are they from Aerokk?”
“That’s right.”
I was a little nervous about whether this place was still rejecting Aerokk, but it was an overreaction.
“Heh heh, everyone comes to visit places like this. The people of Aerokk are good sellers.”
Confusion appeared on the faces of the group.
I wonder if not only did Elise’s influence not reach here, but also the news of the civil war.
‘no. Now is not the time to care about that.’
What they have to do now is to find a workshop as Lucas instructed.
“Come on, let me ask you something. I heard that there is a place called ‘Gongbang’ here.”
“A workshop? Are you talking about the blacksmith? The blacksmith was widespread. The only thing that comes from this delta is iron.”
But everyone seemed to know nothing about the ‘workshop’, only talking about the blacksmith.
“what? Did the workshop actually exist?”
“Professor Lucas may not have misinformed you… … .”
“I can’t.”
Joseph and Brelin asked, but Professor Milia, including the students of ＜All About Combat>, said no, so there was nothing more to say.
“Let’s all disperse and find it. This place is too wide to be grouped together. If you have any clues, anything is fine, so let’s find out about anything.”
“okay.”
The party dispersed and began to inquire about the ‘workshop’.
But wherever he went, the reaction was the same.
It was treated like a stranger who introduced the blacksmith or was looking for something strange.
In addition, there were times when it was difficult to understand because the dialect unique to the Delta people was mixed.
Jesse and Eylon, exhausted from wandering around, floundered in an alley on the outskirts of the city.
He was exhausted from the fatigue of crossing the desert and the fatigue of dragging Eylon’s wheelchair.
“Anyway, will the professor be okay? No, it’s nothing to worry about.”
The body is hard, and the ‘workshop’ I’m looking for doesn’t even show a nose, so I’m worried about Smelly Lucas.
He swore with magical powers, but he knew that it would not be easy to block that large army by himself.
Of course, it is not easy, but I believe that it will not be impossible for Lucas.
“Are you listening to me, Eylon?”
Jessie shouted at the unanswered Eilon.
But he wasn’t where Eylon should have been.
“Where is this bastard… … hey!”
In front of me, Eylon was moving around in a wheelchair as if possessed by something.
“As long as you can move on your own… … .”
Jessie, who had been chasing after him, was speechless as he moved his gaze following Eylon’s gaze.
between the cracks in the broken wall.
Circuits and circuit connections that seem too complex for Jessie to see.
Aileon looked at it with ecstasy.
“Hey, Jessie. I think I found it.”
“I know.”
The two found a workshop hiding in the Delta Inn.
