“Some people will die as soon as they enter.”
Everyone nodded at what Jin Ye-seul muttered while looking into the deep, dark pit.
Han Soo-young, who took out a strange stick and stirred it as if to inspect what was flowing inside, answered.
“Once I cast the detox magic and the senior blesses us to increase our resistance, we will all be able to endure it to some extent. If Yuna builds a barrier with her magical powers, she will be able to last longer. … But it’s literally just enduring, and as time goes on, it will be eroded by poison. They say you can’t fight properly.”
“The most important thing is what’s at the end of this… It seems to be Worst of all, there was nothing and it was probably just a trap. Then you will be locked up and withered to death.”
“But I can’t use magic blindly… .”
It was as Han Soo-young said.
If there was ‘Han Soo-young’s mana’, our goal, in that pit, no one knew what would happen when it resonated with the magic we used blindly.
In such a situation, Jin Ye-seul gently raised her hand.
“I’ll go check it out and come back.”
“What?”
Jin Ye-seul, who looked at Lee Yu-na, who was surprised, said in a calm voice.
“First of all, I am resistant to poison. To be honest, even if I chew the blowfish alive, I’m fine. Plus, you can go into the shadows and move around, so you don’t have to worry about poisoning or anything like that. You have to stick your head out to see the situation… I can bear it enough.”
“It’s too dangerous. There is no guarantee that only poison will spread. If there’s even a battle inside… .”
“Then shall we all go in together? There is nothing you can do.”
Saying that, he grabbed Jin Ye-seul’s arm, who was about to move right away.
“I will go.”
“What? ah… .”
Jin Ye-seul showed an expression that seemed to understand immediately.
She licked her lips as if in a bit of anger.
“That’s right, it was a simple thing to make an clone of with shadows… .”
I was startled for a moment by her muttering words saying that she was still there.
I could confirm that Henir’s shadow had been greatly engulfed by Minerva from the previous events.
Then, when you create an clone with shadows, is the clone that appears in its original form or is it that of Minerva?
“… … .”
After contemplating for a moment, I sank halfway into the shadows.
As if she was surprised by the appearance, she said to Jin Ye-seul, who opened her eyes roundly, as if making an excuse.
“I don’t know what’s inside, so I thought it would be better to avoid provoking it for nothing. Besides, I can see outside in the shadows, so I don’t have to worry.”
I didn’t lie.
Jin Ye-seul made a worried expression for a moment and then slowly began to come into the shadows.
“Then I will… At the very least, I’ll give you some magic.”
“No, yes, you are here.”
I said so and looked at her as if deliberately glaring at her.
“Anyway, we don’t have enough manpower to take on close combat, but if Yesul follows you, it can be really dangerous when you miss it. Do you understand what I mean?”
“Uh, yes… Ah Okay.”
I don’t know why, but Jin Ye-seul’s face was blushing.
Feeling a certain chill at the sight of her nodding her head and stepping back, I flew into the shadows as if to run away.
And in front of my eyes was a scene I had never imagined.
“… What are you doing now?”
“Well? Ah, dear.”
Minerva was constantly wandering in the shadows, and in her hand were swords, spears, bows and arrows that I had purchased in bulk for my use.
“I was organizing because I didn’t know when you would find it. It was all tangled up and hard to find or take out.”
Saying so, she proudly pointed to one side.
Where she pointed, weapons were arranged neatly side by side by type.
“uh… thank you.”
“Hmm. After all, I also had a free car, so there is no need to thank you too much, sweetheart.”
Something trembled behind Minerva as he said that.
I looked up and saw her tail waving side to side.
“More than that, when I looked at the weapons, it wasn’t a spirit… If you wish, I can make your weapon for you.”
“Thank you for your words, but I have an urgent business. Didn’t you hear it too?”
“Oh, it was… .”
I couldn’t see if the tip of the tail, which was waving for a moment, was drooping.
I glanced around using my eyesight, and first of all, I continued to move the shadows.
“It was a clever act not to show me in front of others in the first place, my dear.”
Minerva said so and turned around a little.
She was wearing a dress similar to the one I had given her before, with her tail sticking out under the skirt.
Wouldn’t it be annoying to drag that on the ground like that?
It was time to suddenly think of such a shrewd thought.
“You would know without saying it, but it would be good to keep hiding my existence for a while. If you find out that you have me, it will do more harm than good to you.”
After fiddling with her horns, she nodded and turned back to look at me.
“First of all, the richness or energy you were looking for does not exist in this pit. The inside is closed and there are only corpses harboring venom all over the place. Simple and clichéd, but an effective trap in this kind of situation.”
As if on a chair, she leaned gently against her tail and smiled.
“If you ask the red-haired girl to shoot some fireballs inside and block the entrance, it will be resolved quickly.”
“Then where is he?”
“Well?”
At my words, she looked startled for a moment, then gave a bashful and mischievous smile.
“You are quite smirk, dear. It was a natural question, so I almost didn’t know the answer.”
“… … .”
I don’t know why, but I was instantly embarrassed by her words and shut my mouth.
She said, tapping her tail with her feet.
“It looks like you are going in the direction you are going. No matter how much I am in this country, I can’t feel it perfectly… If you think you’re close enough, I’ll touch you and let you know.”
“Thank you for your help.”
“Thank you, now that I can live in your arms, this is a reasonable price.”
After saying that, Minerva paused for a moment and looked at me.
“okay… If it’s okay with you, would you mind listening to me a little more?”
“Are you talking? Why all of a sudden.”
“Because there are a few things I want to tell you.”
As she nodded her head as if understanding, she instantly smiled broadly and brightly.
But he quickly moved his hand to cover his mouth and made a hard expression, which happened so quickly that if he hadn’t been using his insight, he would have missed it.
“Your leg hurts, so why not sit down, sweetheart.”
It was time to roughly sit down on the floor at her words.
“Then it doesn’t match your eye level? Wacky guy.”
She murmured, came to my side, and leaned back as if slumped down again.
Just below her was a tail that was firmly supported as before, with a part of her tail extending over this side as well, as if to sit at me.
“… Excuse me.”
“Well, if it’s you, you can excuse me.”
[Huh, my God.]
Sbengali sighed as she sat on her tail.
He couldn’t believe this was happening at all.
“Okay, the situation is on the other side, so I’ll just point out my point. So open your ears and listen carefully to every single one.”
“okay.”
“First of all, I too have had quite a few fights with Necromancers. In the past, there were a lot of them, but even in the present age, they were purged on a large scale for several hundred years ago, and even then, they were barely continuing their lives.”
She said, tapping her chin with her finger.
“Perhaps the lich you will face off against was a survivor of that time, or a being who has inherited the skills that were put into practice. The necromancer who created the undead that hides the energy of the dead remains in my memory… I remember it as a fun entertainment.”
“Did you say you fought a necromancer?”
“Yeah, you said you were going to kill me, make a corpse, and work your soul to bring about their own revival.”
Minerva smiled softly at me.
“And what do you think they would have been like?”
Looking at her as if she needed an answer, she coughed and shrugged.
Then he closed his eyes and sighed as if drowsy.
“Anyway, the Necromancers of the past each had their own school and boasted a number of unique skills. As I said before, there were things that hid the energy or used the skills of the past… There were those who created an undead with ego or applied it a little more to create an undead that would frantically attack those who killed them with a burning desire for revenge.”
“It’s not just about making a puppet.”
“It is true. It meant that if you were caught up in a simple accident, you could be in big trouble, so be careful.”
“okay… Thanks for your concern, I’ll be careful.”
She nodded as if satisfied with that statement.
“And your eyes. Surely it would be clever?”
“Oh, right. You knew this too.”
Minerva stared at me for a moment, then closed her eyes and nodded.
“You may not remember, but one more piece of advice… Make sure you don’t use those eyes often. It shows even the things that shouldn’t be seen, and all who set foot in that realm had either killed themselves or had their eyes plucked out. I don’t think you’re that weak, but you don’t have to risk it, do you?”
As she said that, she spoke in a voice as if hitting me.
“Anytime, I will replace your eyes, so please use it carefully if possible.”
At her words, I looked at her silently for a moment and nodded.
I asked, looking at her, who sighed a little as if she was happy with the answer that she would be careful.
“But is it okay if I ask you just one thing?”
“Anything you are curious about.”
She nodded and made eye contact with me.
When I met that gaze, without realizing it, only the sound of meaningless breathing came out.
“… … .”
I just put the question I was about to ask in my mouth and swallowed it.
Because I thought it was rude to ask her such a question.
Then Minerva, who was staring at me, grinned.
“Yeah, asking a question like that. And it’s not cool to give an answer to that.”
She looked at me with complicated eyes and nodded.
“After all, you will find out soon. There… It was not my intention, but as I was living here, I was able to peek into your image and memories little by little. I don’t know if it’s because Sbangali and I are the same Seven-August species, so his memories have flowed in, or if it’s just because I survived like a parasitic on you… .”
She muttered in a soft manner.
“Anyway, that’s why I’m here, so you can say it’s not that bad. It was a misunderstanding and not a misunderstanding, so even the small amount of sediment left on the other side of my heart turned to dust and flew away in the wind. just… .”
She shook her head.
“Um, no. These words are not cool either.”
Saying so, she clapped and said.
“It took too much time. Now is the time to go out and do your job. And don’t worry, I’ll take care of your concerns.”
She chuckled and burst out laughing.
“It was said not to worry, because the girl who enters the shadows of others will also be careful. This is the one, since when did this Minerva look at other people and hide in her own realm? uh?”
Having said that, Minerva naturally moved his tail and grabbed me as if it were wrapped around my waist.
“… What are you doing now?”
“Hold on a second.”
She muttered in a serious voice with a worried expression on her face for a moment.
“… I have a very thin waist. Are you eating right? When I saw this, I was so worried that I couldn’t stand it.”
She said as she slowly moved her tail and lowered me to the floor.
“No way, I was just about to get over it… How could you be still looking at this?”
“No, what are you talking about now?”
Minerva said, looking at me with strength in her eyes.
“I have to help you.”
“… What?”
Having said that, Minerva suddenly ran towards me.
Then, in an instant, he hugged me and hugged me like he was locked in his arms.
He even moved his tail to wrap himself and me at the same time as if he would not let him run away.
[Five.]
How are you feeling?
It was time to shoot at Sbengali, who spoke mockingly, to shut up.
“If you don’t want to die, shut up that wretched mouth, Svengalli. If you’re a vulgar person, you’re probably making fun of Lee, right?”
[…] … .]
He immediately shut his mouth at Minerva’s sullen voice.
In the meantime, trying to get away from her somehow, I tried to push her away with my arms, but immediately changed my mind and pulled myself back as far as I could.
“Hey, hey. for a moment. Minerva. Just calm down a bit… .”
“I don’t have any strange intentions, so don’t worry, sweetheart.”
Each time she spoke, a warm breath tickled her throat, and she closed her eyes.
Immediately after, she bit my neck with a groan.
I was shocked before I could say anything.
“eww… !”
Immediately with a groan, her sharp fangs bit my throat.
She held me so tightly that I couldn’t run away or rebel.
“Umm… .”
Then, she licked my wounds with her tongue, and rather than feeling strange, the pain spread like a pharynx holding the wound.
“Ah, whoa… you… !”
“Be patient. Yeah, just a little… Be nice.”
She stroked the back of my head as if it was okay, and then I could hear a clear sound echo in my ear.
[You can feel a strong aura engulfing your body!]
[The energy that was dormant within you resonates with him and opens your eyes!]
“uh… ?”
[Your heart begins to pump dragon blood.]
[Dragon blood runs through your veins.]
[Power, Dragon Blood has been awakened.]
