Novel The Max Level Hero has Returned! - Chapter 415
Episode 415
Didn’t inspire useless hope in those who had already lost hope.
Now, the time I could be in this world was only one day.
Even if you give them a weapon to fight against the demons, you don’t know if it will actually have a big effect.
It is impossible to teach them using my power.
Due to the limit of their influence, it is impossible to drive out the demons instead of them.
After escaping the village with only Aeria, I headed deep into the forest under the guidance of the watcher.
And I was able to find a huge mound of dirt with a very large rock embedded in it.
[This is it. Breathe mana into the key and connect it to that stone, just as you feel when you come to this forest.] At his
words, I took out the leather necklace hanging around my neck and started blowing some mana into it.
“This is… a very unusual place.”
At that time, Aria, who had been following me, looked around quickly, hugged her arms, and trembled.
“It feels like someone is watching you.”
It was the same for me that I had a bizarre feeling as if I could feel someone’s gaze.
“Don’t fall away from me.”
“Ah yes!”
She answered loudly as if she was very nervous, and walked closer to me with quick steps.
After confirming that she was close to me, I quietly closed my eyes and began to remember and analyze each wavelength of the unusual mana flow that enveloped the entire forest.
[The flow of mana from a forgotten civilization 5,000 years ago is truly mystical. Normally, it would be impossible to find out the rule, but if it’s as good as you, it should be possible in about 5 hours.] I
lightly ignored his boasting that it would take 5 hours, and skillfully infused mana into the necklace and began to knead it at will. .
The change brought about by that action was instantaneous.
Soon after, the stone began to take on a pale blue light
[Euuuu?! Is it already over?]
‘Something difficult.’
[Three worlds, even a wizard from the 8th circle will have to struggle for days and days to find patterns…]
I wonder where they put their eyes to it.
Less than a minute after it started to activate, the stones that began to emit light looked very beautiful.
Glancing at Elia, who was looking at the stone as if in awe, I slowly connected the stone to the face of the huge rock.
Toow…
At the same time, what was just an ordinary rock started to change completely, causing a big wave.
“The bar rock has changed!”
“Let’s go in.”
Then, as I moved without hesitation, Aria opened her eyes wide and hurriedly chased after me.
* * *
Prince Prugref.
It is a civilization that has been completely forgotten in history as a relic from 3,000 years ago, when the sword god Hares was active.
In fact, it was clear that it was a ruin holding something secret, as I was unaware of its existence until the observer told me about it.
The huge space must be a dark room.
This place was as soft as moonlight.
And like a temple that enshrines a god, huge stone statues of paladins were built in a row.
The elaborate form, which seemed to have been erected after putting on the armor of a real giant, certainly possessed an astounding level of technology.
If you have this level of skill.
It was safe to say that it wasn’t the blacksmith’s or stonemason’s skills that had become blunt like they are now, but that they were almost in their heyday.
Looking at the form that conveys an eerie feeling just by looking at the eyes facing each other, I moved slowly without saying a word.
“Hee!”
As I was looking around the inside, Aria, who was suddenly following me, crouched down in surprise.
As I approached her, tilting my head at her sudden action, she slowly lifted her head, which was trembling.
“are you okay?”
“…Ah yes.”
“Is there a problem?”
“That’s it…”
She looked at the stone statue again, speechless. Then he shook his head, narrowing his eyes slightly.
“I’m sorry… I feel like something creepy has brushed my body…”
At her words, I looked around in silence, but there was nothing to see.
* * *
A strange atmosphere pervaded the forest.
It would be more correct to say that it is shady rather than quiet. I asked an observer who might know the shape of this place.
‘Do you know anything?’
[I can’t say.]
‘Come now?’
[This is for you. It’s dangerous to give you any more information than this. However, the fact that I made the choice to come here will benefit both you and me.] The very
existence of a watcher can be said to be a block of restrictions.
Because he was like that, it seemed to me that there was a difference between what he could say and what he couldn’t say.
“It’s creepy from the cold air to the strange feeling…”
Cautiously lengthening his words, Aria followed me as if she was afraid.
“uh?”
At this, I stopped being playful for some reason and opened my eyes wide.
At this, Aria looked at me with fearful eyes.
“Why are you like that?”
In response to her cautious question, I silently pointed at Aria’s back, maintaining a surprised expression, and she stood firm and smiled awkwardly.
“Wow, Prince… are you kidding me?”
wheeeeing!!!
“Kyaaak!!”
At that time, a cold wind blew through the quiet stone corridor.
It was a surprisingly sharp timing, so it was natural for Aria, who was naturally more timid than Illina, to be frightened.
It was very cute to see her shivering with her ears curled up like a small animal.
With a bluish face and unable to look back, frightened, as I held her in my arms, I silently stroked her head.
“It is a lie.”
“Eww…don’t do that.”
She muttered with tears in her eyes, glanced at me and slowly withdrew.
Then he put his hand on his chest and frowned slightly.
“are you okay?”
“Ah… yes, strangely, my heart keeps pounding…”
As she said that, another tear fell from her eyes without even realizing it.
“Oh my…”
Her expression was troubled by the unintentional flow of tears again.
“sorry. I keep showing you bad looks…”
“If you’re scared, you can look forward to it.”
“I can’t do that. It’s a nuisance to Prince Davey and…”
Strangely, I thought I shouldn’t hug someone
carelessly.
Then I looked around and couldn’t calm down easily.
“Don’t worry, it’s okay if those stone statues move.”
At my words, Aria smiled lightly.
“When I talk to the prince, I feel strangely at ease. And strangely, this side is sore…”
“Shall we examine the arrhythmia?”
“It’s okay!”
Embarrassed, she backed away.
Then he followed me in silence again.
Have you been walking for such a long time?
In stillness I was able to reach a large cavity with a huge door.
The huge stone statue that guarded the entrance continued to this place.
“It’s terrifying to the world, but it’s really grand.”
“Ancient ruins that have not been touched by people are so attractive.”
It retains its original appearance.
[For reference, the time here is applied a little differently than outside. A day here is about four hours outside.]
At the unexpected information, I put my hand on the door at the end of the joint in silence.
It was a mysterious text.
Most of the ancient characters are in the form of pictures.
However, the letters in these ruins were definitely high-level letters.
As I silently swiped the letters on the wall slowly, I suddenly felt a faint flow of mana in the letters.
When he reflexively injected mana to fill the halves, amazing things began to happen.
The text of the door emitted light and began to appear as other letters in my field of vision.
“Blessings on the dead…”
“Yes?”
“I curse the living.”
As I muttered while sweeping down the text written on the wall without saying a word, Aria came up to me and opened her eyes wide.
Then he looked at me curiously and asked.
“Can you read these texts?”
“The cold current is their spiritual body… the still air is their breath.”
As I continued, the letters in the door slowly began to glow.
“The name of this place is the cradle of the beginning. The living, can you go back now? When an unauthorized person steps in, the dead in the underworld will seek your life…” It
sounds out of the blue, but deciphering these characters seemed to be the keyword.
Woooo!!!
Before long, the cracks carved throughout the door begin to contain light green.
And all the cracks on the floor, walls and ceiling were quickly soaked with pale green light.
At the sudden change in her heartbeat, Aria looked around with a nervous face and slowly approached me.
Geuggeuggeuk!!!!
And after a loud noise, the huge door started to open and the dark space greeted me again.
The space beyond the door was a huge cavity.
But in my line of sight, small orbs of light were scattered on some floors.
A room of traps or trials.
I walked inside without saying a word and slowly stepped on a light-filled circle drawn on the floor.
ugh!!!
At the same time, the light engraved on the floor goes out.
There was no particular change in the flow of mana, so when I took my foot off again, the light that had been turned off began to come on again.
“Hmm… are you saying turn everything off?”
Thinking deeply, I soon stepped on one of the footrests to turn it off, then moved the other foot and stepped on a circle of a different color.
Then the second platform also lost its light and disappeared.
There are a total of 4 circles drawn on the floor.
Without saying a word, I reached out and touched the other two, and the mana flow around me began to change completely.
Beep!
At the same time, light began to rise again in a different place from where my feet and hands were touching.
“Are you going to turn off the light again?”
I reached out and moved again and put out all the lights using both my hands and feet.
As if solving a small puzzle, I silently performed them.
However, it seemed that my behavior seemed a little strange to Aeria who saw me like that.
* * *
Aria looked at Davey, who was suddenly stepping on the empty floor and putting his hands on it, as if it were scary to enter the cavity.
Nothing reflected on the floor in her eyes.
But as if to confirm something, he crouched down like an animal on all fours and began to move around.
‘I have to help!’
I don’t know what, but he said the reason he came here was that there might be a way to get her memories back.
After all, he is working so hard for her.
what does he replace
Her expression, which seemed to be a nuisance, subtly frowned into tears.
‘I… I have to help.’
Is body shape a problem?
It occurred to her that it was not right for the boy she had never seen before to just watch and do nothing when she was working so hard for herself.
In response, Aria rolled her head and imprinted Davey’s image in her mind.
Then, she also carefully propped herself up on the bare floor with both hands on her face.
Then, like a worm, it began to move slowly.
