Chapter 222

While Sean was cursing in his heart, Rosie seemed to really trust the blessings on her and began to wander around the area.

Sometimes she went into the forest.

Sometimes she climbed up a hill.

Sometimes she jumped into a pit.

Sometimes she went through a small path.

Rosie wandered aimlessly, but her speed was not slow at all. Even Shien felt a little tired following behind her.

Just when Shien was about to lose his patience, Rosie arrived in front of a tall mountain.

"— —"

In front of the mountain, Shien and Rosie stopped at the same time.

"... It can't be?"

Shien muttered to himself as if he felt something.

"Looks like we hit the jackpot."

Rosie stared at the mountain in front of her, her eyes becoming extremely sharp.

"We can really try our luck?"

Shien did not know whether to laugh or cry, but his eyes did not leave the mountain in front of him.

With the feedback of the skill [Mana Sense], Shien could clearly feel waves of obscure mana fluctuating in the mountain.

The mana was not obvious, and if it was not for Shien and Rosie, they might not have noticed it.

However, the mana had a very evil, dark, and even ferocious feeling, which told the two that there was something extraordinary in it.

This situation, no matter how they looked at it, was not normal.

So, maybe it was as Rosie said, they hit the jackpot.

Especially in that evil, dark, and ferocious mana, there was a large amount of unusual mana lingering.

Shien was sure that the mana was the mana of the monsters.

In other words, there was something in this mountain, and there were a large number of monsters.

"Could it be that all the monsters around the imperial city have actually gathered here?"

Shien remembered that Rosie said that many monsters had left their fixed habitats, and no one knew where they went.

Then isn't the possibility of them gathering here very high?

"What should we do next?"

Shien looked at Rosie and asked.

Rosie did not hesitate.

"Let's go in and take a look."

Her Royal Highness said without hesitation.

"Do we have to be so reckless?" Shien slightly protested, "Since we have already found the place, why don't we go back and mobilize a large force to directly flatten this place?"

"No." Rosie shook her head and said, "If we go back and mobilize the Knights, it is very likely that we will alarm some people. At that time, the problem here may be covered up, and we can't give people the time and opportunity to do so."

Rosie must be referring to Jacinta, right?

"I understand..." Shien muttered, "But do we really have to barge in like this, almost single-handedly?"

"What are you afraid of?" Rosie rolled her eyes at Sean and grumpily said, "You're the Hero, and I've inherited the Hero's holy sword. If we join forces, we can even challenge the three goddesses and the six demons. What's there to worry about?"

However, it was still the same sentence. He understood the logic, but if the two of them really went deep into the mountains to deal with this anomaly, Shien always felt a little like deja vu...

However, it was still the same sentence. He understood the logic, but if the two of them really went deep into the mountains to deal with this anomaly, Shien always felt a little like deja vu...

"Blind confidence is the most fatal, Your Highness."

At that moment, Shien began to persuade her.

Unfortunately, Rosie did not listen to a word of it.

"You are sometimes obviously very impulsive and reckless, and sometimes inexplicably cautious and timid. I almost can't understand you." Rosie glared at Shien and said, "Don't say so much, just follow me."

With that, Rosie did not give Shien a chance to object. She directly grabbed him and dragged him in the direction of the mountains.

Shien struggled, but Her Highness' arm strength was not inferior to his at all. She dragged him deep into the mountains.

So, Shien made up his mind.

Next time, I must put something in this girl's dessert and let her have a taste of ecstasy.

Otherwise, she would really think that he could turn the world upside down at home.

...

In the deep mountains, the sounds of birds, beasts, and insects seemed to have disappeared, and a depressing silence spread in the air.

Shien and Rosie walked on a mountain path, and only the sound of their footsteps could be heard.

"... Hey, Shien."

Rosie, who was pulling Shien's hand, became more and more serious as they entered the mountains.

There was no other way.

"Do you feel it?"

Rosie asked Shien in a low voice.

"Yes." Shien nodded. The laziness on his face had long disappeared. He frowned and muttered, "I originally thought that there was something wrong with this mountain, but now it seems that it is this mountain that is wrong."

That's right.

After entering the mountain, Shien could feel that the mountain itself seemed to be very unusual. There were waves of magic surging in the mountain in an orderly manner, absorbing the magic in the atmosphere while letting the magic flow to somewhere else. It was very unusual.

"Could it be..."

Shien thought of a possibility.

And Rosie also thought of the same thing.

"I have a feeling that something has been set up in this mountain, and a very large-scale ceremony is being held."

Rosie said so.

This was exactly what Shien was thinking.

These days, Shien did not waste his time in the library. While memorizing celestial magic and magic incantations, his understanding of magic was getting deeper and deeper.

Therefore, Shien also felt that the situation here was very much like a large-scale ceremony was being held.

"This situation, other than being man-made, I can't think of a second possibility."

That was what Shien thought.

"Could it be that Sir Jacinta and the others are really going to do something in the human world, in the capital city?"

Rosie's expression was a bit ugly.

If that was the case, perhaps, there would be another conflict and confrontation between the humans and the Demons.

"What is this Demons Cadre trying to do?" Shien was also deeply puzzled, "He clearly knows that his actions may bring discord between the two races, but he still did such a thing. Could it be that he is also one of the Old Demons?"

Rosie did not say anything, but she obviously had some thoughts in her mind.

"We..."

Rosie was about to say something.

However, at this moment, Shien's expression changed.

"Get out of the way!"

Without any hesitation, Shien suddenly shouted and retreated.

"...!"

Rosie's expression also froze, and without hesitation, she leaped up and jumped away from the spot.

"Boom!"

Almost at the same time, the ground where Shien and Rosie originally stood suddenly shattered and burst, raising a cloud of dust.

Among them, a behemoth came out.

"Gaaaa-!!!"

A roar came from the behemoth's mouth.

Shien and Rosie retreated to the distance, while the other jumped on a big tree and looked at the behemoth.

Their expressions changed again when they saw what it was.

Because, it was something that they had never seen before.
