The two had been walking underground for a long time.
Hulim felt that he had gone tens of thousands of meters underground, but still could not see the end.
"... ...Don't be silent, I truly apologize sincerely."
Plus, a certain elf kept chattering along the way.
"snort."
Hulim simply turned her head away.
"Woo, heartbroken."
Hulim glanced at Irus and ignored her.
I won't fall for her tricks anymore!
At this time.
The light ahead suddenly changed.
"Ah, we're here!"
As they were about to reach their destination, Irus stopped joking and quickened her pace slightly.
Not long.
A vast underground mirror lake came into Hulim's sight.
The huge dome and the surrounding walls are covered with mineral crystals emitting blue light. The calm lake surface, as calm as glass without a ripple, reflects the blue light, like a huge flawless sapphire.
It is truly a dreamlike scene.
but.
At this moment, it was not the dreamy lake that attracted Hulim's attention.
Instead, it is a temple located on a small island in the center of the lake.
This temple Hulim had seen...
"Well, now you understand everything?"
“… …”
Hulim looked up at the elf with a smile on his face.
Finally, I couldn't help but ask:
"Why is there a temple with a forbidden stone tablet here? Why would Irus--"
"Alright, alright~."
Irus quickly interrupted Hulim's question.
"I know you have a lot to ask, and I will explain everything to you."
"First of all, Hulim, you didn't think you only had one forbidden power, did you?"
“… …”
"That's totally wrong! There are far more than just one of them..."
"That was a long time ago."
"At that time, Himlier was newly born, and everything was in chaos. A meteorite suddenly landed in this world from outer space. Upon entering this world, it split into seven pieces, turning into seven stone tablets that were scattered around the world."
"Lord Traya collected them and spent a long time studying them, but ultimately found nothing. Well, that's normal. This kind of power is impossible to fully understand. Its arrival in this world couldn't be a coincidence; it must have a purpose."
"?"
"Anyway, after their research failed, Lord Traya was worried that their power would affect the world, so he sealed them away separately."
"They are one piece each in the east, south, west, and north of the continent, and three pieces stored in Tiramxiuin using different tools."
"The stone tablet you obtained earlier was the one located in the south of the continent, and the one in front of you now is the one located in the west."
"Okay, if you understand, then go in. In no time, you'll take that power into your arms. Oh yeah~!"
Irus raised his fist and shouted.
"Not at all!"
Hulim complained loudly.
"Since Irus already knew so much, why didn't she tell me?"
"Eh...um, why is that?"
A drop of cold sweat slid down Ilus's face.
Then he tapped his head and stuck out his tongue.
"Sorry, I forgot~!"
"Please don't fool me. Ilus must have thought it was more interesting, so she did this."
"Well... ..."
The cold sweat kept coming out.
This kid is becoming increasingly difficult to fool...
"Forget it, it's not a big deal. What I'm more concerned about is, Irus, do you know the origin of these forbidden stone tablets?"
As he said this, his eyes were fixed on those emerald green eyes, as if to say, don't try to fool me this time.
Irus's eyes wandered for a while, but finally she shook her head helplessly.
"Although I really want to tell you the truth, unfortunately, I don't know the inside story."
"Hmm? But Irus, you just..."
"That's what the World Tree told me. After all, there's something so dangerous buried beneath the World Tree. It's impossible for it not to tell me, right?"
"But at that time, the World Tree only told me that these powers came from some of the most ancient taboos called the Origin."
"Those beings are something that even it would feel deeply fearful of. No one can study or control them. Such beings would never appear without meaning, but must have a purpose."
"This purpose could be for an object, a life, or perhaps nothing specific."
"Actually, I was very curious at the time and wanted to find out what it was."
"Yggdrasil warned me not to pursue them, nor to try to find out what's behind them, because just knowing their existence is dangerous. If I even mention their names, I might just attract them."
"This is also the reason why the World Tree didn't tell me. It couldn't tell me, and there was no way it could tell me."
“… …”
It took Hulim a while to digest the thought before she came back to her senses.
He murmured subconsciously:
"...Primal Fury?"
That’s right, it’s the same as the real name of the ability in my mind, “Original”.
But if this is some terrifying taboo existence, why didn't I attract it?
