Chapter 416
The next destination has been set.
“Mora, the goddess of time. We need to find her holy relic.”
Mora, Goddess of Time.
You must find her holy relic and ask for her help.
This is the only way to overcome this unknown situation.
“Goddess of time… … .”
Mimir nodded with a ‘I see’ expression.
“okay. there was a way For a god who deals with time, looking at the past would be an easy task.”
“huh. If it’s Mora, it’s the End God and the Human God. We can find out what happened between you two.”
A tear flowed from Mimir’s eyes.
“Good. Find Mora and listen to her talk about the past. Get the time magic as well.”
Information is not the only benefit to be gained by finding Mora.
Mora is the Goddess of Time who controls time.
If you can find her and get her help, you can get your hands on a mythical magic called ‘Time’.
“The key is where and how to find Mora… … .”
Mimir thought.
“That’s the problem.”
Like Mimir, I was lost in thought.
It’s good that you’ve set the goal of finding Mora.
I really don’t know how to find Mora.
“I’m sure you haven’t seen Miho either.”
“No. Among the mythical magic that Obama used, there was no magic called ‘Mora’.”
The only things Miho can find out through the senses of the soul are things he’s seen once in the past.
You can’t find things you haven’t seen.
“Of course, there will be no information about Mora in Danteroa’s book.”
“No.”
When Miho said she didn’t know, it meant Master didn’t have Mora.
There is no way that Master would have left a record of Mora in the Book of Danteroa.
“Maybe it’s good?”
There is no way to come to mind.
What should I do to find Mora?
“There is a way I can think of.”
“… … there is?”
is there a way?
“What way?”
“Myth magic. To find Finis.”
“… … Phineas?”
It is the name of one of the mythical magics Master used.
“Surely the magic of borders and crevices… … was it?”
“that’s right.”
Finis, the god of borders and gaps.
Phineas, the mythical magic that forged her power, has the power to break down all boundaries in this world and create gaps.
… … It was written in some book.
“Did there be some connection between Finnis and Mora?”
As far as I know, the god Mora does not appear in Finis’ lore.
“I don’t know the connection. Because there was nothing recorded in the tradition.”
“… … Then why?”
But why is Finis the key to finding Mora?
Why do I need to find Finis?
“Because the mythical magic called Finis has at least a little bit of ‘time attribute’ mixed in.”
“To Finis?”
It’s a golden age.
“The time magic that Obama handled is magic derived from Finis.”
“… … That’s even more unheard of.”
I was well aware that Master dealt with time.
It wasn’t perfect, but it was possible to stop time to some extent. remained in the literature.
It’s no surprise that Master dealt with time magic.
‘Time magic was derived from boundary and crevice magic?’
What surprised me was the secret story of the birth of time magic.
Magic Finis of borders and crevices.
No matter how much you think about it, mythical magic that seems to have nothing to do with time.
Time magic was derived from that magic.
It’s like hearing that a pig gave birth to a cow.
“Me too Phineas and Time Magic. I don’t know if there is any connection between the two. just. I just heard it and know it.”
“… … You mean you heard it directly from Master?”
“huh.”
Mimir stared into space with his blind eyes.
“Before. The day I saw Obama use time magic. I was afraid to ask.”
He smiled like he was sad.
It was a smile that seemed to remind her of her immature past.
“anyway… … . There is a definite link between Finis and time magic.”
“… … I see.”
There is no way that Master lied to Mimir.
If you didn’t answer, you wouldn’t have, I’m not the kind of person who would lie.
“That’s why you said you need to find Finis.”
“huh. Since it has something to do with time magic, it means that there is a high probability that there is some kind of relationship between Finnis and Mora.”
“… … Most likely.”
Finnis might know how to find Mora.
“Then let’s get Finnis first.”
Get Finis, then ask about Mora.
This is the best option out of the options available right now.
* * *
After that, I went outside in search of Finis.
“Miho.”
I left the grounds of Halamanium and called Miho.
Miho, who had grown into a full-fledged adult, stood tall in front of me with a dignified appearance.
“Please.”
Miho nodded as if asking to leave it to him.
Key Yiing-!
The intangible energy that radiated from Miho’s body was scattered in all directions.
The power of the soul that Miho handles.
By scattering it around the world, you are detecting a specific spiritual wave.
snap!
Miho’s ears perked up.
“… … Did you find it already?”
The fact that Miho’s ears pricked up was a sign that he had found what he was looking for.
Miho looked at me and nodded.
Whoa-!
The intangible energy that had been emitted began to be absorbed into Miho’s body again.
The energy that had spread out to the world in an instant was concentrated in Miho again in an instant.
It was a tremendous speed that could not be realized with Manaro.
‘As the tail grew to 8, the speed of detecting the soul became very fast.’
Compared to before, it seems to be more than 10 times faster.
I couldn’t even spread my energy around the world before.
Now it can cover the world in 20 seconds.
It was truly a huge growth.
“where are you?”
Miho slowly approached me and kissed my cheek.
At that moment, Miho’s thoughts began to flow into my head.
‘This… … .’
The things Miho saw and confirmed are visualized and flowed into my head.
It was an amazing experience.
“… … This has become possible.”
I knew that I could read thoughts to some degree, or that I could share my senses and emotions.
I never thought I could convey what I saw in this way.
I don’t even know what a soul is.
“Where are you?”
While admiring Miho’s mysterious power.
Mimir asked me.
“Unfortunately, it’s not in an easy place to find.”
If possible, I wanted it to be in an easy-to-find location.
It must have been a vain dream.
“Finnis is in West Africa.”
“… … Why?”
“uh.”
Far from being in the easiest place to find, it is in the hardest place to find.
“Africa, of course. It must be the West… … .”
The most dangerous land in the world.
A place filled with dark air so dense that even satellites cannot detect it.
That is West Africa.
“The schedule will be long.”
I was planning to finish it within two days at the latest.
I guess that would be a bit difficult.
* * *
After that, we moved straight to the continent of Africa.
The move itself wasn’t too difficult.
Now that I can handle the shadow without any restrictions due to the contract with Umbra. Distance doesn’t matter.
It has moved to the African continent riding lightly in the shadows.
“… … It’s worse than I’ve heard.”
After moving the problem.
It is now.
“Heir. How long do you think you can last in there?”
“well. Two days do you have to endure for a really long time? Beyond that, I’m honestly not confident.”
West Africa.
A land of the dead, full of takgi and miasma.
No matter how much I am, I don’t have the confidence to last more than two days in there.
“It must be difficult to finish all the exploration at once in two days.”
“It’s hard at once.”
This place has to be searched by going back and forth at intervals of about a day.
If you overdo it, you may be engulfed in miasma, and an irreversible situation may occur.
“Then, shall we make a search plan based on the day?”
“hmm… … . no. I’ll ask for 12 hours.”
“Twelve hours? why?”
“If you just search, 24 hours will be enough, but… … .”
I answered while staring beyond the curtain of venom and takki.
“Because I don’t think there will be a battle in there.”
Because of the takgi and miasma, it’s hard to detect the mana inside, though I can’t say for sure.
First of all, there shouldn’t be any monsters in there.
Assuming a battle takes place, even 12 hours is tight.
“okay. So 12 hours is right. First of all, let’s make an initial plan for 12 hours, and increase it little by little by looking at the internal situation.”
“That will be fine.”
Mimir nodded, and immediately started drawing the map.
It was to create a search route based on Miho’s soul detection.
… … .
Miho let out a deadpan sound with an expression of disrespect.
‘I wish I could have detected it a little more clearly. Sorry.’
Miho said so.
“no. What’s wrong with that inside? It’s great that you didn’t miss Finis’ location.”
I stroked Miho’s hair. Miho cried as if she was happy.
“done. I got a rough estimate.”
Mimir, who quickly created a search map, approached me and displayed a holographic map in front of my eyes.
“There must be many shortcomings in West Africa due to the lack of topographical data. It won’t be much of a problem.”
“… … I see.”
The route is pretty neat.
If you go on like this, there won’t be any big problems.
It was such a convincing map.
“Then let’s go.”
I put the map in my head and closed the hologram map program.
“Miho. Then go back for a while.”
The takki and poison are so thick that it is difficult to protect my body alone.
If you cover Miho, you can’t even last 6 hours, let alone 12 hours.
… … .
Miho looked at me with an expression as if he didn’t like something.
I don’t want to go back like this.
Miho’s eyes said that.
They were worried about me going on a quest to a dangerous place.
“I’ll call you right away if you need help.”
I said, stroking Miho’s hair again.
I know how you feel, but you can’t help it.
Shinsoo Gumiho.
The Guardian of the Soul has a characteristic that it is greatly influenced by the surrounding environment.
Miho and this place full of taekgi and mihoki are incompatible.
… … .
Miho lowered his head with an expression that he couldn’t help it.
Miho herself must have known that she couldn’t survive there.
Miho leaned against me as if hugging me for the last time.
Miho’s worries are transmitted as they are.
“okay. I’ll be careful.”
I reassured Miho once again.
Miho slowly pulled away from me.
“See you later.”
He took a step back from me and sat down.
And in the next moment, Miho’s body was enveloped in transparent energy.
And the next moment, Miho disappeared.
Danteroa’s return to each other.
“let’s go.”
After confirming that Miho had returned safely, I moved towards my destination.
“Heir. be careful. It’s not serious from the beginning.”
One step, one step.
With each step, the takgi deepens.
I haven’t even stepped inside yet, but I’m out of breath.
‘… … I guess I’ll have to collect air from here.’
After getting a little closer, I was thinking of using it.
It seems right to make it now.
I applied wind magic and compressed as much air as possible.
Compressed air to the size of a tennis ball.
I took the air in my hand and brought it to my mouth.
“Whoa.”
Breathing rapidly eased.
With this, my worries about breathing are gone.
‘let’s go.’
So I walked again.
about 5 minutes like that.
The moment you set foot in earnest in West Africa.
Whii-i-i-!
Suddenly, takgi and miasma began to expand like an explosion.
