Chapter 302
Why didn’t I come up with such a simple method?
‘There was a path of the soul.’
Miho’s special magic used when climbing Mt. Baekdu.
Miho’s special magic, the path of the soul, connects souls to souls and connects the road to the destination.
Why were you eating this?
‘It’s so easy to come up. What have I done?’
I’m dumbfounded, so I’m speechless.
Even though he knew that Miho could use the soul path, he couldn’t even think of it.
can you be so stupid
I am very ashamed of myself.
In the midst of such self-help.
Miho, who was in my arms, licked my cheek.
He felt my feelings and seemed to be trying to comfort me.
I patted Miho’s hair gently and smiled a little.
“thank you. There really is only our Miho.”
Miho cried as if feeling good at my touch.
I feel like I’m being healed even when I’m watching.
“so… Where should I go next?”
Not to mention Danteroa standing around, not even a special mana reaction was seen.
The destination of the soul path must have been designated as ‘Danteroa’s Book’.
I thought I would feel something as soon as I arrived.
Do I have to go through trial and error here and there again, just like at Mt. Baekdu?
Miho tilted his head as if to ask what he was talking about.
Then, she cried and looked down.
“This is your destination?”
Miho nodded.
The outskirts of Baekrokdam.
Danteroa’s Book here, where all you can see is grass?
‘I can’t do that… … ?’
I looked around with my divine eyes activated.
is there anything i missed?
‘As expected, there is nothing.’
I’m not missing anything.
I looked all over the place, but didn’t find anything strange.
Except for the high concentration of mana unique to Baekrokdam, everything was normal itself.
“Are you really here?”
Miho nodded with a confident expression.
Then he got out of my arms and landed on the ground.
It was the place Miho was staring at from earlier.
“Exactly there?”
Miho nodded.
I knelt down on one knee and placed my hand on the ground where Miho was standing.
Still feel nothing
‘No matter how good my concealment magic is, if I sense it from this close range, I should feel something.’
If it’s concealment magic, you should feel even a little bit of inorganic heterogeneity unique to concealment magic.
Even more, the heterogeneity in such a natural space cannot but be felt even more.
‘Could it be mythical magic… … Did you use Nubes to conceal it?’
The mythical magic, Nubes, that I confirmed when I invaded the Doctor’s laboratory the other day.
If it’s that magic that I couldn’t detect any abnormality after contact… … .
‘no. No matter how much Nubes is, it’s difficult to completely conceal it even in a place rich in natural mana like this.’
In an analogy, it is like hiding a precision machine in nature.
In a city with many machines, if you do well, you can hide it without a sense of alienation, but it is not easy to hide a machine in nature where nothing is crafted.
Since mana itself has no special properties, when concealed, the sense of heterogeneity inevitably increases.
‘So what?’
I met Miho’s gaze again.
Miho’s eyes were asserting that this was the destination.
I don’t even feel the slightest hesitation or doubt.
Confidence brimming with confidence.
That’s not 99% certainty, it’s 100% certainty.
So you’re really here… … .
‘What more do you want me to do here?’
What am I supposed to do here?
What should I do here to get the Book of Danteroa?
nothing comes to mind
‘Miho doesn’t seem to know what to do here either.’
Miho is just convinced that Danteroa’s book is here.
He didn’t seem to know how to retrieve the Book of Danteroa.
‘Then you’re saying I’ll have to find a way on my own…’ … .’
Could there be hints in Master’s voice heard when the Book of Idred disappeared and the information remaining in the Book of Mimir?
I recalled the last of the two magic books and organized the information.
‘First of all, there are no hints in Idred’s book… … .’
The Book of Mimir, which lost its original power and turned into an ordinary book.
Maybe there is some hint there.
‘If there is something, it would 100% be in Mimir’s Book… … .’
With my hands on the ground, I was lost in thought.
I went through the 682 pages of the book one by one and thought of pages and sentences that could serve as hints.
How much time had passed like that?
“ah.”
Suddenly, an idea came to mind.
I didn’t get a hint from Mimir’s book.
“Yes, connectivity… … .”
All that is written in Mimir’s book is only about the seventh Infinity Circle.
Nothing was written about the Book of Danteroa.
After thinking for a long time, what I came up with was not something like the hints in Mimir’s book, but something more essential.
It was the process I had been learning the by-tenor style.
‘If you think about it, Mimir’s Book was also an ordinary book at first.’
The day I accidentally obtained Mimir’s Book at a used bookstore.
Mimir’s Book didn’t respond to me even though it contacted me.
‘It wasn’t like my hand that made Mimir’s book react, it was Idred’s book.’
Mimir’s Book awakened in my room at the same time I met Idred’s Book.
And if you think about it, Idred’s awakening condition was contact with me.
‘The conditions for awakening from the Book of Idred are me. And Mimir’s awakening condition is Idred’s Book. According to this rule, the conditions for awakening from the Book of Danteroa are… … .’
The awakening condition for the Book of Danteroa is highly likely to be the Book of Mimir.
‘It’s the key to Mimir’s library.’
It is certainly.
I just look around to make sure there are no people around me.
I took out ‘A.S’ and put it on.
Then, he took out Mimir’s book and brought it to the ground.
‘Maybe with this… … .’
Danteroa’s stand will open its eyes.
I was so sure
Peeing!
‘bingo!’
And as if in response to my confidence, a short mana resonance rang out.
‘Welcome to Danteroa. Heir.’
Then, I heard Master’s voice.
‘Then I’ll give you an ordeal right away. Prove that you are the right person to carry the Book of Danteroa.’
My vision was blackened.
* * *
the next time your eyesight returns.
I was standing in the middle of a garden.
A beautiful garden full of colorful roses.
The alluring scent unique to roses wafts from all directions.
‘Have you entered the book of Danteroa?’
before moving here.
Sometimes I hear Master’s voice say, ‘Welcome to Danteroa.’
Perhaps in response to Mimir’s Book, Danteroa’s Book is awakened. I think it might have sucked me into the book after that.
If I had woken up in a cave or something, I might have thought that I had moved to a space prepared in advance under Baeknokdam.
The place where I am standing is not a cave, but a garden. It is also a garden under the blue sky where the sun shines down.
It must have entered the interior of Danteroa’s Book.
‘They said it would give them trials.’
For me, exams have always been in books.
There will be no exception this time.
The fact that the ordeal begins itself is tantamount to proof that this place is inside Danteroa’s Book.
‘But why is it so quiet?’
If you say that trials are given, shouldn’t the trials begin right away?
If you look back at the pages of the test so far, the test either comes with a guide, or the test starts right away. It was either one.
Never before has a test begun in such a peaceful place, without a guide.
“Miho. Is there anyone around?”
I slightly lowered my gaze and asked Miho, who was looking around at my feet.
Miho pricked up his ears and thought for a moment. Soon she shook her head.
“Then, is the first ordeal to find a supervisor, like Asran-nim did?”
Except for the fact that it is a peaceful place, it feels similar to the labyrinth of desire.
Above all, this place.
If I think of this place where the past seems to have been embodied as it is, there is a high probability that someone is waiting for me inside, just like Elena and Aslan.
“For now, Miho. Let’s start by exploring the surroundings.”
I need some hints
I don’t know if finding someone is the first goal or if there are other goals.
Once you investigate, something will come out.
More than an ordeal, there must be a hint.
I picked up Miho, who was still looking around, and walked out of the garden.
No, I was trying to move.
Ku-goo-goo-goo-!
If it had not been for the sudden trembling of the garden, it would have been.
‘earthquake? No, this… … .’
Earthquakes are produced by regular waves.
The direction of the force is too irregular to be called an earthquake.
this is not an earthquake
‘Artificial tremor.’
It feels like someone grabs the ground and shakes it.
No, to put it more accurately, it should be said that the land itself moves with a will.
‘It seems that this land itself is moving with a will.’
At that time, a very disturbing feeling passed through my brain.
‘no way… … Isn’t it?’
It was a time when I was trying so hard to deny my anxious premonition.
thud!
A loud vibration rang once more.
At the same time, the ground slowly starts to slope.
Centered in the direction I’m standing, left is to the left.
The right side is leaning to the right.
“Oh my… … !”
friend!
As if the earth was about to swallow me.
As if the earth itself had become the mouth of a huge monster.
I just opened my mouth wide.
‘Was this entire rose garden a monster!?’
Then it is.
How could the seventh test be so peaceful!
‘Fall!’
I lost my footing in an instant and my body began to fall freely.
I immediately used magic to float my body.
however.
‘The magic… … .’
Magic doesn’t work
Mana doesn’t listen to me.
To be more precise, it felt like Mana followed this mysterious monster below me more than I did.
Mana herself is rejecting my will.
Since Mana rejects my will, magic cannot be activated.
“Miho!”
If magic doesn’t work, you just have to use the power of the soul.
I asked Miho to transform into the main body and fly through the sky.
however.
“… … Can’t you?”
Miho’s strength seemed to be no different from mine.
Just as I couldn’t use magic, Miho couldn’t use the power of the soul either.
‘no. falls… … !’
My body started a free fall as it was.
My body slowly being encroached into darkness.
As if the only purpose was to devour me, the unidentified monster slowly began to close its mouth.
The earth that had been widened left and right returns to its original state, and the light gradually becomes thinner.
Koo Goo Goong-!
Soon, the entrance was completely closed, and the light also completely disappeared.
Even after the light disappeared, my body fell endlessly.
One minute, two minutes.
How far do you want to get off?
How huge was the unknown monster that swallowed me?
10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes.
infinitely.
The fall continued without end.
