Chapter 261 - Episode Eight - Ruinous Sorcerer Ruin (1)

Its been nearly a week since we left by carriage.

At the moment, Mea and I are in the middle of asking Elia to help us move along the eastern-most coast of the Dinrat Kingdom.

Sir Somehow, theres something amazing

In the carriage, I had been reading over and over again from the Great Gods Treasure Book, but when Elia told me this, I looked out from the carriage and looked ahead in the direction we were going.

Ahead of me, I saw a mysterious giant structure floating in the ocean, glowing blue.

I couldnt believe my eyes. I had never heard of such a building in the Fage territory.

I asked Elia-san to help me get closer to it.

As we closed the distance, I began to see a number of people lying near it.

Clearly, this was no ordinary situation.

I could see that the ground around the area was partially gouged. It seemed that there had been a very fierce battle.

I think its better to report this to the lord instead of getting too close to them.

Elia mutters.

Indeed it might be better that way.

I have Mea with me now.

I dont want to put Mea in any danger.

Last time, I had to escort her to the far end of the Witchs Tower, but that was like an accident. Its a no-brainer.

Thats, right.

It seems that some of them are quite seriously injured, and perhaps the person with whom they fought is also hiding nearby.

Since we dont know the identity of the fallen people, we cant risk approaching them without thinking.

The group of people lying on the ground also looked suspiciously and, as I thought about it, I realized that they looked familiar to me.

Oh, Peter-sans men ! That means

If I searched carefully, I could see a person wearing a more ostentatious robe than the others, with a mask covering the upper half of his face.

No doubt, it was Peter. He seemed to have been pinned to the ground with a stake driven through his body.

The way the stake mercilessly pierced through his thin, skinny, slightly bony arms and legs was too painful to watch.

C-Cruel Why did you do that?

The last time I saw you, Abel, didnt you pop off his ear or something?

That was an accident.

Its worse to have an earring that explodes.

Is Peter the high-ranking guy from the church who used to come to Palgas Village?

Elia asked, and I nodded my head.

Yes, he is. We actually kind of hit it off and got along but I dont know why hes in such a mess here.

Perhaps it has something to do with that huge blue structure.

Ive never heard of a building like that being located in or around Fage territory.

That location is quite close to one of the candidates for the coordinates listed in the Great Gods Treasure Book.

Perhaps the coordinates given by the Great Gods Treasure Book were those of that huge structure.

From the looks of it, the structure itself seems to be made of spirit.

It was clearly not just a building. We should assume that it was something related to the Kudor Church.

Its different If its just a bunch of suspicious people, but if its someone I know, I cant just leave them there.

I asked Elia to help me get closer to the huge structure.

I
