992 990 Castle of Trismegistos

Fran, who had sent the retreating Haganes, was once again making his way to the center of the continent.

Be on the lookout for raids, they are very slow. However, the appearance of the anti-demon and Dragon Man that I feared did not appear, and I was so close to the destination that I could beat them.

The survival of the Second Squad was dazzling when they saw the Trismegistos' castle. As I was getting closer, I was starting to get confused, but there was no word in front of me.

The only thing that didn't move was Isario.

Um, what?

Even Franco is in a state of pocahontas. In the voice, you can also feel the color of awe along with admiration.

The sight was so strange that Franc was awed by the sight alone.

A gigantic castle built to cover a small hill. Instead of being built on a hill, they incorporated it into the castle. That's exactly what it looks like.

The first walls seem to surround the hills. It will be 1 km long and 2 km long.

It used to be worthy of the former royal castle of the Dragon Man clan that ruled the Golden Continent, and it was huge and prestigious.

There are countless spires on the high, thick walls that seem to be futile. The roof is all blue, and the walls are all white. Are window frames and the like golden?

The magnificent castle preserved its beauty to an astonishing extent. This castle is inhabited only by Trismegistos, and it should have remained untamed for hundreds of years.

And yet, there's not a single stain on the walls. Is it even hung by state preservation magic?

However, Franc and the adventurers were not surprised by the cleanliness of the castle.

Almost in the middle of the castle. The biggest part of the so-called Honmaru. From there, strange things grew.

From a distance, it looked like a castle with a slightly unusual shape, but it wasn't. And it came to pass, that it was a gigantic tree like a crab, which broke through the roof of the castle.

The gray rusty surface and the branching of the upper part are still tree-like. However, there were no leaves, and the branches stretching toward the heavens had become translucent from the middle.

And eventually, it melts into the sky, completely disappearing. That's why I could hardly confirm it from a distance.

Isario and Frederick were calm because they knew it beforehand. In other words, it is not an abnormality that happened yesterday or today.

"That castle became the home of the Trismegistos, the place where the abyss was created." And that big tree is the abyss itself. "

"! That tree?"

"Oh, there's an abyssal core under the castle." That big tree's body is stretching out from there. It seems to have disappeared along the way because it has become a semi-spiritual body. "

In fact, the closer I got to the castle, the less I could sense the signs of the anti-magic. If I feel like I'm close, I don't feel like I'm anywhere. Even though I didn't know exactly where I was, I felt like I was constantly being watched by an anti-magic.

I was worried about what was happening, but it was probably because the core of the abyss covered the surroundings.

"If you're attacked by an anti-magic around here, you won't be able to detect it in advance." Everyone, be careful now. Sometimes suddenly, anti-magic springs up up close.

"All right."

It's often forgotten that we're spending time on this continent, but this place we're in is actually in the middle of an abyss.

Because it has become a special existence called semi-spiritualization, it is difficult to feel its existence without seeing it.

However, it is difficult to touch, but there is no interference from the other side. That was the anti-magic. The Abyss Swallow creates an anti-magic within itself and consumes all kinds of things.

It seems that the great source is the grey giant tree, and the nucleus at the root. If it was near the body, many anti-magic enemies would be created. I don't see it nearby now, but I can't be alarmed.

But if there's a nucleus, maybe we can destroy it and defeat the Abyss?

It seems that Franc thought the same thing.

Would you like to crush the nucleus?

"I can't crush it." Even the maximum output of the Divine Sword can withstand it, and it plays immediately. "

Somehow, in the past, all three swordsmen cooperated and failed to destroy the nucleus directly.

"I see. Alpha, Cristallos, El Dorado?" I heard it lightly from Trismegistos too, so I don't know the details. "

But you couldn't defeat me anyway?

Sounds like it.

Ignis, Berserk, and Gaia. Until now, I saw the moment when the power of the Divine Sword was wielded in front of me several times. Unfortunately, all of them had the power they deserved to be called the Divine Sword.

Can't you destroy three swords of the same grade together? Well, that's incredible.

"It's about time to go. I'm worried that the anti-magics aren't there for some reason..." Normally, there should be anti-Ujujas here. "

After all, someone was controlling the anti-magic.

In the end, the second unit reached the foot of the hill where the castle was built, without any sabotage.

If you dive into the giant gate in front of you, you may say that it is inside the venue. The moment I stepped into the hill while being alert, I could see that the air had clearly changed.

A gentle breeze in an instant. I felt the refreshing breeze blowing through the pristine forest.

It seems to have passed through the barrier with something of a purification function. Shortly thereafter, Fran and several adventurers behind Isario stopped stiffening their legs.

The subsequent adventurers, who had not yet crossed the barrier, looked strange.

But I know how it feels. I'm in a similar situation.

”I-It's... abyssal?”

"Yes, I'm fine. There's no coming from the other side around here. For some reason, there's no anti-magic in the castle."

The barrier that surrounded the hill was supposed to push the effects of the abyss. An incredible sense of being crushed and crushed surrounded us.

As Isario said, there was no anti-magic in the castle for some reason.

"... I was actually going to take a break until everyone got used to it." If I can't greet you, you can't just stand there. "

Pick up?

Fran, the entrance to the castle.

It seemed that the signs of the abyss were too strong for my sensing abilities to work. Franc didn't even notice. But me and Isario are aware of the figure.

A beautiful blond dragon man. Standing in front of the castle gate.

"You're here on your own, Trismegistos."

He's the Trismegistos!
