The Evil God Beyond the Smartphone

fuse (4)

Hus Alamere, the second son of the Alamere family and a hero of knowledge, looked at the passage in front of him with a serious expression.

A secret passage leading down to the basement of the temple.

There, Aurora with a lantern was leading the way and guiding the way.

It’s been quite some time since Hus belonged to the Temple of Knowledge, but this was the first time that even Huss had to face the underground space of the temple.

Even the high priests of the temple had never brought up the story of the existence of such a secret passage to Huss.

Even if there was a problem, the first thing to be protected in the temple was Hus.

Heus, who was following her, asked Aurora, who was carrying a lantern and headed down the aisle.

“Lady. What the hell is this passage?”

“It is a space that is treated as a top secret even in the Holy Land. Only me and the priests directly under Seonghwangcheong who have received orders from His Majesty His Majesty Seonghwang can step here.”

Only Saint Aurora and the priests directly under Seonghwangcheong’s orders can enter the temple’s underground passage.

It also meant that only Aurora knew this passage within the Temple of Knowledge.

Tub. Tub.

The sound of footsteps echoed through the dark passage.

The passage to the bottom was cramped and cramped.

“I understood that it was a place no one could enter. But is it okay if I come into this place?”

“It doesn’t matter, as Huss-sama will find out anyway.”

“It’s something you’ll find out anyway…”

“Because what happens here has nothing to do with the heroes of knowledge.”

Whoops.

Candles were lit around the quiet passage, and the dark passage began to be brightly lit.

At a glance, it was a magical device created at a huge cost.

It looked like a temple of knowledge that focused more on magic and technology than other temples.

Huss’ gaze scanned the structure of the meandering underground passage.

The passage to the secret space was shaped like a maze.

“The aisle structure is very complicated.”

“Because of the important space that existed here before the crossbridge was built.”

“Important space?”

“The Crossbridge is a place to hide something most important to the Six Temples. Therefore, the passage to this space exists only in the Temple of Knowledge and Seonghwangcheong.”

What flowed out of the mouth of Aurora, the saint of knowledge, was a story that had been handed down long before now.

A secret space that has existed since the time when the Crossbridge was built.

It was said that the passage Heus was stepping on was a stairway leading to such a secret space.

The moment Aurora and Hus reached the end of this passage, he had discovered the great secret of the Crossbridge.

“I understand that it is connected to Seonghwangcheong, but why is the Temple of Knowledge connected to this place?”

The fact that a great secret existed beneath the Holy Land was something that Huss could also understand.

Even so, it was obviously strange that only the Temple of Knowledge was allowed to enter the secret space.

Upon hearing Huss’ question, Aurora put a light smile on her lips.

The lantern’s flame in Aurora’s hand fluttered in all directions and scattered.

“Because the Lady of Knowledge continues to manage this place.”

“Does the saint manage this place herself?”

“Of course, I am in charge now. That is why only the saints of knowledge of the time have knowledge of this place.”

Huss, who was passing through the rough, winding passageway, nodded at her words.

If the Saint of Knowledge had been managing this place for generations, it was natural to know about it.

The reason why the passage is only connected to Seonghwangcheong and the Temple of Knowledge is probably the same.

“I think I understand a little bit from hearing the story of the saint.”

“The noblest knowledge has always been passed down only to the saint of knowledge. And the great secret that lies beneath this temple.”

Tub. Tub. chin.

Aurora, who had been walking down for a while, stopped in front of a huge stone slab.

Suddenly, Huss and Aurora arrived at the secret place of the Crossbridge.

A thick stone slab engraved with Seonghwangcheong’s pattern was preventing the two of them from moving forward.

Aurora placed her palm on the stone slab blocking the passage.

Kugugugugugugugugu-.

With a heavy vibration, the slate began to move sideways.

Heath’s gaze looked at Aurora’s palm, which was in contact with the slate.

I don’t know exactly how the security works, but the fact that the door was opened by recognizing the aurora was certain.

A level of security magic that is hard to find even in the Empire is installed here.

“It has been a long time since a hero of knowledge has entered this place.”

Aurora, who had dispelled the security magic, said as she stepped over it.

Huss naturally followed Aurora and headed there.

The moment when the stone slab that obscured the view completely disappeared, and the secret space of the holy land wrapped in a veil was revealed.

Exclamations naturally flowed from Hus’s mouth.

“ah······.”

Beyond the passage where the slate disappeared.

A huge space filled with all kinds of crystals appeared.

The secret space reflected in Hus’ eyes was full of all kinds of magical equipment.

It was like a kind of magical research facility.

Huss looked around and turned to the huge crystal in the center of the laboratory.

The crystal located in the center of the laboratory was shining brightly and emitting a clear luster.

“That’s a replacement…….”

Huss, who found the crystal, went straight to the crystal.

The crystal that existed in front of Hus was radiating a warm yet vivid energy.

Inside the blue crystal, something unknown was moving like a pulse.

Facing the crystal’s brilliance, Huss unconsciously stretched out his hand towards the crystal in front of him.

As soon as Hus’s hand touched the crystal, Huss felt the magical energy in his body twisting and backed away.

“Ugh—!”

Huss stepped back and looked at the palm of his hand that was in contact with the crystal.

Hus’ palms were dyed red with the recoil of the magical repulsion.

At the sight of his palms convulsing from the sudden shock, Huss frowned and used magic in his hands.

Cure. It was the first healing magic that Huss learned when he came here.

The low-level healing magic wrapped around Hus’ palms, and the convulsions subsided in an instant.

“Are your hands okay?”

“·········They showed ugliness.”

Huss hid the healed hand behind his back and spoke to Aurora.

Aurora looked at Huss with a slight smile, then approached Huss and looked at the huge crystal.

The blue brilliance emanating from the crystal was dyeing the pupils of Aurora and Huss blue.

Aurora pointed a finger at the crystal in front of them, and told them about the crystal’s identity in front of Huss.

“The crystal in front of Hus-sama is the reason the Crossbridge was built.”

“Is this thing… the reason for the existence of the crossbridge…?”

“The crystal that Huss-sama is looking at is the remains that God has left on the earth.”

Remains left behind by God.

Hearing Aurora’s words, Hus shut his mouth.

The jewels that pulsated in front of her eyes were not ordinary objects as Huss had expected.

No, it was much more important than that.

This single object was enough to prove the legitimacy of the entire six temples.

Aurora continued to explain, reaching out to the crystal that had wounded Huss.

“The relic, the heart of the primordial. It is the power source for all the divine barriers that exist in Crossbridge, and it is the only permanent organ in the world that continuously emits divine power without any power source.”

“Things that emit divine power . . .”

“Crossbridge is a space designed to concentrate the power of all temples and protect the primordial heart.”

Despite being called a relic, Huss understood that the Primal Heart was unlike any other relic.

It is a level of divine power that can shake the magic of a wizard just by approaching it.

It was amazing to constantly release the divine power of such an output.

Depending on how it was used, it was an item that might be able to create miracles on an unbelievable scale.

For such an object, the fact that a crossbridge was built to protect this one object was also understandable.

Because the object in front of them was the hope of all mankind.

“The idea that a crossbridge was built to protect the remains of the gods… There are nonsense things here.”

“Heus-sama seems to have understood the value of the original heart very soon.”

“This is dangerous stuff. Even if it falls into the hands of evil spirits, it will be the same, but even if it enters into disquieting humans, there is enough room for abuse.”

“·················ogue.”

At the moment when Huss was about to mention the infinite possibilities of the Primal Heart.

Upon hearing Huss’ words, Aurora smiled bitterly and shifted her gaze to another place.

At Aurora’s unusual attitude, Huss looked at her with a questionable expression.

“·······Saint?”

“Unfortunately, Seonghwangcheong is also using this item for dangerous work now.”

Aurora’s gaze turned to the glass tube opposite.

Huss’ gaze, who was looking at her, also followed Aurora toward the direction of the glass tube.

The inside of the glass tube connected to the primordial heart.

There was a man there, sleeping with his eyes closed.

Aurora said while staring at the man kept in the glass coffin.

“Araine Cross. A hero of previous knowledge.”

* * * * * *

Cloud’s headquarters located in the Islands.

Van Creit, who had attended the meeting there, looked at the people in the hall with a look of dissatisfaction.

Those who attended the meeting held at the headquarters were all elite forces classified as special investigators.

They were given the power of summary execution by the emperor who ruled the empire, and they were considered the strongest in the empire except for the Imperial Guard.

At a meeting where such people were gathered, Van opened his mouth by smashing the table with his fists.

“The Warlock is on the move in the Alterias region. Obviously I should have reported it.”

Quang!

With a dull sound, a crack was formed on the table in the conference hall.

The documents that were swept away by Van’s fist were also scattered in all directions under the influence of the wind.

A secret society of warlocks moving in the shadows of the Empire, the Abyss.

These were documents that Van gathered information about and submitted to Cloud’s headquarters.

It was the information he had obtained while traveling around the northern part of the empire for nearly a year.

However, the answer returned to the class that submitted the report was the exact opposite.

“Semi-investigator. didn’t i just say You must participate in the subjugation of Kueberg in the Holy Land.”

Cloud’s captain, Levernov, spoke while stroking his mustache.

It was an answer to Kueberg’s subjugation, which seemed to have nothing to do with what Van had been investigating.

close.

After hearing Levernov’s answer, the class grinded their teeth.

Cloud’s chief investigator had strong autonomy, but nevertheless, he was not able to completely escape from the orders of his superiors.

If Captain Levernov had made such a decision, the class could not ignore it.

“Levernov. Have you read the report?”

“I have already checked the contents of the report you sent me.”

“Are you still telling me to go into another operation?”

“We’re talking about priorities. In order to recover the status of the fallen empire, the participation of the special investigators in the subjugation squad is necessary.”

For the class listening to the story, it was heartbreaking.

Even within Cloud, there was no one who could match Van when it came to investigating the Warlock.

And it was a situation in which such a class had reported that the King of Spirits’ contractors could move.

In addition, the hideouts of wizards become stronger and stronger as time goes by.

It was a story that if you do not subdue when you find a trace, it becomes increasingly difficult to find or attack.

Nevertheless, Captain Levernov was only talking about the subjugation of Kueberg.

Feeling frustrated, Van frowned and vomited dissatisfaction towards Levernov.

“The warlocks who made a contract with the Demon King may be moving. And yet they tell me to watch the heroes slay monsters.”

“You were the one who refused to lead the Kueberg subjugation squad last time.”

“Gedur was in charge of the subjugation squad. If that was the case, it wouldn’t be long before I went up to the express.”

“In the end, it failed. The gap between the experienced investigators and those below is a clear law.”

“Captain Levernov.”

“And I didn’t tell you to just take a look. If it’s okay, you can finish the monster.”

In the end, it was a story to set the ball up and come back.

He let out a deep sigh and stroked his forehead.

It was a situation where all the stories that could be brought out were brought out.

There were no more excuses to protest the order.

Desperate, Van raised the last question to Levernov.

“Is there no option to send another investigator at all?”

“What if the other investigators are busy?”

“······under.”

“Of course, Cloud understands the seriousness of warlocks. After this subjugation is over, I will support the investigation with all my might.”

In the end, age was an issue.

Half chewed his lips at the work that came to him in turn.

Quang.

Van hit the table once more and embraced his face with one hand.

I thought I had found almost all traces of the Abyss, but the HQ is in danger of delaying the investigation for several months.

It was a class where my head hurt from the sorrow of a young genius.
