80. Grave

“I, I, Ian. Ian- Iaan!”

Noah was arrogant, saying that she could do anything because she was in debt, but she was also embarrassed because she did not know that Ian would make her do this.

“I want you to meet His Majesty the Emperor-!”

“Well… First of all, a tunnel that appears to have been dug by demons was found here, right? Let the Empire know so we can follow up.”

“But, so much, so much! How can I see His Majesty the Emperor!”

“It’s okay, I got a present last time, so if I have it, I can meet you right away.”

“That’s not what it sounds like!”

In this era, the dignity of the emperor felt by Noah, a commoner, was no different from the three leaders served by the people of the north.

Of course, if it was a government using all kinds of brainwashing, intimidation, and fear, this one was really respectful, but it was different.

“Hey, what if I beheaded for being rude? huh? What do you do!”

“Why are you so scared? You’ve met me before.”

“Because I wasn’t alone back then! … This, Ian? Won’t you do something that never happened? huh? Or if you can’t, come with me!”

“Sorry, I don’t think that’s possible.”

“Why!”

“I have something to investigate.”

Saying so, Ian pointed to the half-collapsed tunnel. How far does this tunnel go, and what is at the end of it?

It was necessary to make a surprise attack when the enemies didn’t even realize their secret was revealed.

“… You may be a little late.”

“Because I like certain things.”

“If you go with me… .”

“That’s not allowed.”

At her words, Ian shook his head. Noah is the protagonist of another world. Even if she died, the world would end as it is.

At the very least, if she had been a nuclear-charged player who was a 5-star pet, wouldn’t it be at a level that was even less than zero-charge?

“I do dangerous things. Noah, you must inform the imperial family of this information as soon as possible.”

“… Ian, are you okay?”

“yes?”

“It’s okay to risk your life like that, right?”

Seeing Noah worried about her with a slightly trembling voice, Ian burst out laughing and lowered her body slightly to meet her eye level.

And holding her cheeks from both sides and talking.

“it’s okay.”

“It’s scary, isn’t it?”

“It’s scary.”

Death is always scary. The reason he ran into death like this was also to avoid death.

“Don’t be afraid of me, Noah, can you help me?”

“… All right, I’ll be back soon, so you can’t die. Understand? yes?”

“Don’t worry.”

There was only one summoner stronger than Ian on this continent right now. A 5-star Summoner, the Emperor. outside of that one.

If he asked if it was a dangerous place for him, Ian had no choice but to shake his head.

‘If they had sent such strong guys into the realm of mankind, they would have been caught right away.’

For the demons, strength was the same word as pride. When they reached the upper level, the upper level demon, their pride pierced the sky.

Are those guys secretly hiding in the ground and stabbing people in the back? Most demons probably can’t.

The fact that they did not choose any means and methods was a story in a head-to-head match.

“Then, Noah, please take care of me.”

“… … yes.”

Saying so, Ian sent Noah away. Looking at Noah who climbed on the shoulder of the colossal statue in the distance and ran with all his might, Ian also turned his back.

“What kind of homunculus are you guys?”

Entering the tunnel behind his back, Ian muttered like that. It was probably a joke that no one in this world could understand.

* * *

Can’t see even an inch ahead. You can’t light a fire though.

These subterranean caves are usually filled with gas or dust, and even a small spark can lead to a dangerous explosion.

“Oh God.”

Therefore, the light of the paladin was a great light source. It does not require any fuel or energy and provides a wide field of view.

The light created by Anna’s prayer filled the cave. Naturally, as the land worm was digging a path, there was nothing in the cave.

‘It looks like the ground was just dug with an excavator… .’

“Um, Summoner?”

“why?”

“This looks a bit dangerous.”

“… why?”

“Because I’ve been signaling to the end of this tunnel since before.”

How to find out the length of this tunnel by shooting a beam that the human eye cannot capture.

Laser distance measurement was one of the methods to know the length very quickly and accurately if there were no obstacles in the middle.

And the measured distance is… … .

“It runs at least seven kilometers ahead.”

“Isn’t that information that me and this guy already found out?”

“… That’s why you can’t do stupid knights?”

“What? stupid?”

Empress sighed softly and began to explain what that meant.

The fact that the cave continues up to 7 km in front means that it begins to bend from the 7 km part.

If this cave continues at that angle, the expected size of the tunnel is at least tens of thousands of kilometers.

“… … that.”

“It’s more than enough to cover most of humanity’s realm.”

If only these tunnels were connected as Empress guessed. It meant that most of the human realm had already been invaded by demons.

‘no wonder.’

Near the imperial capital, I wondered why it was possible to sneak access to the academy, and if there was a tunnel like this, it would have been possible.

And at the same time, a question arose as to why the tunnel of that size had not been discovered until now.

“… It makes no sense.”

“What do you mean?”

“How could I not have discovered a tunnel like this until now?”

It wasn’t that it was never used. Used several times. Still didn’t hear it. There must be a reason.

no way. The underworld belongs to Pluto, the god of the underworld, and since Pluto is the god of the demons, it’s probably not the same reason.

“Well… Come to think of it, that’s a bit odd.”

“There is no way it could have been made overnight.”

As he was staring at the tunnel with such doubts, Empress opened his mouth lightly.

“Is it unreasonable to walk all this?”

“Of course it is, I don’t think I can go all day even if I run around.”

“Is not it? Then just- do it my way?”

“What?”

As soon as those words were finished, Empress lifted our party up into a buoy. The moment it floats in the air, a round barrier is created around us.

“When are you going to walk around? is not it?”

“No, now what is this… .”

“Shoot! It can be dizzy, so be careful!”

Empress swung her wand. At the same time, the barriers surrounding them are thrust forward and thrown forward.

plump-.

Naturally, I had no choice but to roll around like crazy inside.

“master!”

“host!”

If Anna and Theresia hadn’t hugged me from both sides and held me, I’d probably have bumped into something wrong and died.

Stuck between the bodies of the two women, I barely survived and waved my arms to express my intentions to be okay.

“… I almost died.”

“Ah, please. Would you mind killing the summoner?”

“uh. I think you will… .”

“Then you must have misunderstood the person?”

In the end, however, Empress’s judgment was correct. Unlike Anna and Theresia, who, no matter how superhuman, are limited to running several tens of kilometers due to the limitations of the human body. Because now this sphere was flying at an insane speed.

The sphere, which flew at a faster speed than the KTX, started rolling up the wall and moving far away.

At an alarmingly fast pace, Anna and Theresia fell into anxiety. Those who lived in the Middle Ages would never experience such speed.

“… Empress. Wouldn’t you die if you hit something wrong?”

“Hey, what do you think you’re going to bump into here? I’m worried because everything will stop.”

Aww-!

As soon as the words were finished, the sphere hit something and started bouncing all over the place.

Anna and Theresia, who were hugging me, pressed me even more intensely, and I was caught between my two breasts, holding my breath and barely holding onto my shaking body.

The moment he barely stopped, Empress scratched the back of his head as if embarrassed.

“… I would have said that!”

“It’s too late, bitch.”

Touk, the moment we dismantled the sphere and came down to the floor, we could easily see what the hell was going on and what caused the chaos.

“… What stick.”

I struggled to pull out the stick, but she pushed me away and Theresia lightly pulled out the stick with one hand.

Seeing the stick, she frowned as if familiar with it.

“Starlight Knights’ Star Iron Sword… .”

“know?”

“You know, I’ve never had a fight. This sword is inexorably painful.”

“… Are you in extreme pain?”

Hearing the attitude that I had personally met and fought the master of this sword, which seemed to have been around for hundreds of years just by looking at it, I could easily understand what this object was.

“… Courtesy, no. Is it a relic?”

Arms left behind by heroes hundreds of years ago.

Relics that would have ascended to heaven when the hero died were located here.

‘It’s a grave.’

It was only then that I discovered the identity of this place.

Tomb of weapons.

A coffin of ceremonial craftsmen who have not been able to follow their master.

“Why is this here… … .”

“… Empress?”

The Great Witch who had led us here murmured and started tumbling towards the staff that was stuck on the floor.

Arriving in front of the armour, she looked down at the crown next to the staff with sorrowful eyes.
