Maiden of Ice and Fire (7)

the other side of the crack.

Large and small light sources were embedded in the darkness of the mine.

Brilliant brilliance of various colors.

All of them are spirit stones.

Collingwood’s guide clenched his fists, as if he had survived thanks to him.

You should have known that the veins were all dried up by now…

Now you don’t have to worry anymore.

The newly discovered ore vein was not very complicated, but it was difficult to guess the end.

In other words, what you see now is not everything.

It’s probably a long stretch in all directions.

As he hurriedly turned around to announce the news.

Princess Elena raised her right hand and blocked it.

It is by no means a bad thing for the royal family to discover new veins, but…

You don’t have to rush too much though.

If I tell you this now, the miners who have been playing around outside will come rushing in.

“Wait. The exploration isn’t over yet. It’s not too late to report even if it’s a little bit late.”

“Ah, sorry.”

Now, this mine is an undiscovered treasure trove.

It is too wasteful to open it already.

We found it anyway, so it would be okay to go in before the others and get some junk food.

Collingwood’s guide nodded as if to take as many as they could.

I found a new line of food for the family, but one or two spirit stones would be enough.

He hurriedly summoned exploration equipment to create a path that did not exist.

After anchoring the anchor to the hard wall, a rope ladder is hung down the crack.

Holding on to the rope ladder’s knot, he carefully descended, revealing an absurdly large space for a natural ore vein.

“How could such a thick ground collapse by itself…”

“Even heavenly luck doesn’t have this kind of luck.”

Christine murmured suspiciously, and Maria frankly admired it.

In fact, given the size of the cavity, it is not a nonsensical phenomenon at all.

As I greeted the handmaiden, Medusha turned on the lights and started looking for the Spirit Stone.

Most of the spirit stones you can see are intermediate or higher.

It looks like it has been aged for a long time than expected.

The guide who came down with us liked it so much that he was about to die.

“Lived… Collingwood lived!”

“Neither reserves nor quality are a joke.”

“Where the hell did it go?”

Finally, when the princess came down, her guards summoned the summoned beasts at once.

Elemental stone mining is a very dangerous task.

The party remembered that fact and quickly brought out the summoned beast.

“Lightning Bolt!”

“Justin.”

“Evil Hand.”

Advance with the stronger allies.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a spirit stone as good as the one I was aiming for.

But it will be out soon

Drunk with vague expectations, the maid sneakily stepped forward.

As she approached me, she quietly warned me.

“Natural veins untouched should be flooded with wild pets… It’s too quiet for such a thing. It means there’s a supreme predator that overwhelms other pets.”

“okay?”

Even though I thought it was a bit dangerous… Seeing the waitress next to me, I was relieved.

There are only 3 S-Rank summons in this place right now.

Besides, even the princess’s bodyguards.

Elemental stone mining is quite dangerous, but considering that, there is no need to worry because it is full of power.

But it’s terrifying to think like that.

Stones fell from the ceiling with a slight vibration.

Did I drill the hole too big earlier?

When I looked at the handmaiden with such doubts, she shook her head slightly.

The princess’s escorts immediately stop walking when they sense danger.

I wanted to go back to them, who was a little ahead of them.

A stronger vibration attacked the party.

The escorts moved quickly in the strong earthquake that made it difficult to even stand properly.

“retreat!”

“Protect the Princess.”

“Wait a minute, the Count too…”

No matter what Princess Elena looks at me and says.

They picked her up and ran away.

but. For them, her safety comes first.

As I was about to move before it was too late, I saw a large boulder hitting Collingwood’s guide.

“Medusha!”

“okay.”

Medusha, who was preparing for her ultimate early, used Petrified Gaze to stop the falling rocks.

Resuming the escape while supporting the severely staggering guide.

Sylvia caught up with me and took him over, and the maid who was nearby said with a sullen expression on her face.

“Come. It’s probably the guy I was talking about, so we’ll get rid of it quickly and find the Spirit Stone.”

“Have the Princess and the escorts already withdrawn?”

“It’s better not to have them there. Let the others go quickly and let us go…”

Gangjin once again before the maid’s words were finished.

While the fragmented rocks were pouring down like rain, she secretly tumbled once.

Thanks to this, Christine, Maria, and Ersa and the others who were a little far away were trying to be completely separated from this place.

If there are any outsiders of the family left, they will notice it and try to drive them out altogether.

However, contrary to what she had expected, the three women clenched their teeth and rather approached this way.

Thank you for not leaving us, but… I wish I had that kind of courage later.

As I was very sorry, Justin’s great sword made a path through the rocks.

“Hey. I can’t even do that…”

“Louis, come quickly!”

“No. Don’t come!”

Unfortunately, my voice was completely drowned out by the additional collapse.

In the end, the three of them joined this side.

As I let out a small sigh, the passage behind me was completely blocked.

However, thanks to the Spirit Stone, it is not dark.

When we escaped together to avoid the terrifyingly rising dust, the culprit of the commotion was glaring at us.

Two long, vertically torn eyes, and scales that looked like spirit stones had been transplanted into them.

Without exaggeration, a lizard the size of a house is sticking out its tongue.

Why is it so wide for a natural ore vein…

It looks like that guy made a way around.

Ersa from the back recognizes the opponent at a glance and then clicks her tongue.

“Rock plunderer… A wild summoned beast that devours spirit stones. It’s true that you’ve seen it.”

“What is your rank?”

“Usually about an A rank. But he eats a lot of Spirit Stones, and he’s a Jinshin summons, so he’ll have to hit the 2nd level up. Yeah, he was born with an A rank, so it wouldn’t be great.”

Everyone was silent for a moment at Ersa’s explanation.

So, doesn’t that mean it’s actually SS rank?

Still, I think that there will be no big problem because there is a maid, but the person in charge swallows the saliva next to him.

“Master. There’s another one nearby. A couple of rock predators.”

“What?”

“I’ll take care of that side, so please take your time. I’ll be right back.”

After finishing her words at will, the handmaiden flew through the cracks in the rocks.

A rock predator tried to catch her, but her speed was no match for her.

While Ersa was making a bewildered voice. Its eyes shifted to us again.

“Where’s that girl?”

“Creep…”

“I must fight. Come out, Bamdol!”

Medusha’s ultimate skill is activated with a strange slogan.

As if it was worth preparing in advance, he was summoned at the same time as the battle started.

The serpent goddess’s guardians came out from the dazzling brilliance and rushed towards the larger lizard without hesitation.

“Shh!”

The Stone Reaver breathed out lightning bolts, trying to stop him from approaching…

The snake’s scales bounced it off without difficulty.

Unlike my master, Medusha, he has no magical abilities, but he is that strong.

Soon after, the snake grabbed the lizard, and Justin and Lightning Bolt rushed to action.

Unfortunately, Ersa’s Evil Hand was hard to expect.

He stretched out his long tentacles to attack, but he couldn’t penetrate the lizard’s hard scales.

Ersa, who swallowed a sigh, prepares another recipe and warns everyone.

“Don’t attack the elements! It’s in a state of preying on all elemental spirit stones, so it’ll be like helping him!”

“Yes? That…”

Maria paused as she was about to give Lightning Bolt an attack order.

Westwall’s grouse is quite small for an S rank, so it’s not suitable for ignorant power fights.

In the meantime, Justin, who had split into three parts, slashed the lizard with a reddish blade.

The effect of the artifact lightened the strong scales, but the opponent’s body was too large to receive a critical hit.

“Kee-e-eek!”

Rather, it’s like cutting off some skin, so he starts to go crazy.

A painful scream from the snake, who was tightly gripping its front part.

No matter how hard and strong it is, there is a difference in rank.

The Stone Reaver immediately began to vomit various attributes from the scales of its entire body.

The snake hit by the cold and fire could not stand it any longer and fell from it.

Medusha, who saw it, took a lot of magical power from me again and grinded her teeth.

“Louis. Take some more.”

“What? Where else are you going to use it…”

“master!”

During the battle, Sylvia slams rocks flying in this direction with all her might.

As it is a battle of SS rank, the aftermath of the battle is no joke.

Thanks to that, Sylvia can’t even leave her seat to escort us.

Persia, who stepped on the ground after a short time, was also actively participating.

Medusha, who used magical power to completely empty my heart, completed the spell in an instant.

She exclaimed with all her might as she held up her staff with the serpent goddess’s holy mark.

“Euriale sister! Help me!”

“yes?”

Euryale, the second of the three snake god sisters, must be guarding the sea route in the southern part of the kingdom…

How did you call her like that?

As we looked at each other with bewildered expressions, the holy mark on Medusha’s staff shattered to form a portal.

His staff was a high-grade artifact of the Warp Stone.

The fee for using the ultra-long-distance transmission gate installed in each big city is no joke.

But I can’t even imagine how expensive such a portable gate would be.

Also the Duke of Beltern.

As I felt admiration and envy at their wealth, a response came from the portal.

The second among the three snake god sisters.

Unlike the sisters, Euryale, the sea serpent goddess with dark blue skin, walked out with a long whip.

A garment adorned with pure white bones and a bloated left arm.

Clearly alien to the rest of the sisters, she exclaimed wildly as soon as she escaped the portal.

“Who harassed my brother!”

“Sister! That’s him.”

Medusha, who was clasped in her sister’s arms, straightened her index finger, and pointed to the rock predator.

Euryale is quite tall, so the still small Medusha barely reaches her chest.

The second who took a peek at me with terrifyingly gleaming eyes and then hurriedly joins the battle.

As he fiercely swung his whip with bones like a blade, the scales of the lizard fell.

“Kyui profit!”

“As expected, I think Medusa was given an S rank because of her personal connections.”

When Christine jokingly muttered, who was watching Euryale’s performance blankly, Medusha was furious.

I’m sorry for that guy, but I’m of the same opinion.

Although it was not the speed of the sea where I was based, Euryale drove the opponent with a terrifying force.

When he wields the whip in his right hand and smashes it with his left fist, the stone predator’s huge body is thrown into the common corner.

Thanks to this, my mana consumption became even more intense.

This is because I am supplying all the magical powers used by Medusha as well as the snakes and Euryale.

But nevertheless. There was no interruption in the flow of magic.

Rather, the amount supplied from the hole in the heart increased as if to take more.

“Ugh…”

As I was trembling at that terrifying sensation, Ersa completed the ritual.

Placing her on my shoulder, she stretches out her opposite hand to release the summoning circle.

“El Cloud! Start summoning spirits!”

“Yes? Now?”

“Yes! Now, that child’s body is nothing but the highest quality spirit stone. Using the energy accumulated in his body, he summons the spirit of the last time.”

If you become the youngest professor at the Royal Summoning Academy, is this even possible?

I marveled again and focused on following her guidance.

The stone pillager who was the target of the magic twisted his body painfully.
