Chapter 134
“What is all this…?”
“There are people ahead.”
At Knight Captain Samot’s words, everyone held their breath. Their atmosphere sharpened like a blade.
Only I was trembling at the vivid cross-sections of limbs. The commotion was brief, as soon enough not only the Knights but even Max and Grans were as calm as salt statues.
Just ten steps.
We had only taken ten steps while holding our breath, yet the dark surroundings suddenly brightened.
Like running inside a train passing through a dark tunnel, the straight, pitch-black passage had come to an end.
“…”
However, the wide space at the end of this long passage was truly hell itself.
“Save me, please save me…”
“Mother, I was wrong. Don’t sell me, please…”
“It hurts! It hurts…!”
The sound of children begging for their lives.
Abundant bloodstains.
Human bodies torn to pieces.
The floor was already covered with the corpses of dead children, leaving no room to step.
“What on earth is all this…?”
Even Max, who was always glib, muttered quietly in shock.
The surroundings were bright due to torches hung throughout the cave.
In the center stood an altar that rose impossibly high like a sheer cliff, with no room to set foot.
Right beneath it, I doubted my eyes when I saw a translucent sphere floating up like a witch’s crystal.
More precisely, the seed-shaped item inside the sphere!
‘That’s Rainbow Fertilizer, isn’t it?’
No, why is that item sealed there floating like that?
It had clearly been drenched in tremendous amounts of blood.
Red liquid was dripping down from beneath the round sphere encasing the Rainbow Fertilizer.
That was unmistakably blood.
“Come, child. The time has come.”
“Save me, please save me…! Please save me!”
The emaciated child begged, but it was useless.
Unidentified adults in robes with triangular hats pulled down to their eyes threw the child beneath the altar.
The child’s eyes were filled with terror and despair.
However, those wearing robes showed no guilt whatsoever. Rather, they were laughing abundantly like primitive people slaughtering food for the winter.
“A sacrifice to our great Animus!”
“A sacrifice to Animus!”
“Eternal faith!”
“Eternal faith!”
Terrible voices like fanatics completely filled the cave.
“Oh Animus, please bestow upon us the seed!”
“Please bestow it upon us!”
‘Seed?’
In that moment, a word that could never be overlooked pierced my ears.
Anyone could see that the ‘seed’ they were talking about was Rainbow Fertilizer.
The item from that I had come to find.
These fanatics had also come looking for Rainbow Fertilizer?
Why?
‘How did they know the location of that item and find their way here?’
My head spun so much it hurt.
A fanatic lifted up a child so withered only bones remained.
The moment he was about to plunge a dagger into the child’s neck.
I screamed.
“Save the child!”
Clang!
Simultaneously with my voice, the Knight Captain’s sword flew and knocked away the dagger.
“Everyone! Exterminate the heretics!”
“Kill them if they resist!”
“Save the children!”
It was truly coordinated movement. At army-like speed, House Frazier’s Knights leaped among the fanatics.
“Aaah!”
“Save me!”
“Do you think you’ll be safe after doing such things!”
“You vile Spring Continent butchers!”
I frowned and muttered.
“Why are those bastards suddenly cursing the Spring Continent?”
“Did they come from the Summer Continent?”
“Anyway, as long as this is Frazier Territory, we must capture alive any heretical group conducting human sacrifice.”
“Yeah, yeah.”
Max and Grans, who stuck close to my side and wouldn’t leave, spoke while watching all directions.
I also agreed while surveying the surroundings. Among the terrible scene of blood, flesh, and even bones flying, I could see Knights evacuating the bound children to safety.
The number of fanatics was roughly 100.
The number of the squad I brought was exactly 24.
The numerical difference didn’t matter.
Of course it didn’t. This side had the elite of the Frazier Knights.
The opponents were just blood-crazed fanatics.
‘But.’
I couldn’t understand it, and I was scared.
The crazy mystery error from Poop Star that had started again earlier, and this bizarre human sacrifice before my eyes.
…And these fanatics asking for seeds to be bestowed.
It made no sense.
No, it was practically a setting conflict.
In , ‘Rainbow Fertilizer’ was set to have been hidden in a cave by the extinct Elves.
The setting was that no human hands had touched it until Coriko discovered it.
‘But why are they here in this exact space, pouring blood on that item!’
Moreover, this is 2 years before the game starts.
In other words, I, no, Coriko from .
Had always taken an item that these fanatics had thoroughly fed with human blood and proceeded with the game?
Why?
Why didn’t the game tell us about this?
‘…What the hell is this.’
Nothing was making sense. Right now I just wanted to fold Poop Star in half, throw it at the wall, and stomp on it with my feet.
This is supposed to be a normal game, you crazy Poop Star bastard!
A healing game!
That kind of healing game with lots of pretty boys!
No matter how much I screamed inside, Poop Star was just leisurely flying above my head today as well.
For now. Yes, for now.
Once the knights sort out the situation, let’s collect that item.
The blood was too horrific, and it felt like the Rainbow Fertilizer was sealed.
It was simply my intuition.
So it seemed like those fanatics were performing human sacrifices, asking for the Rainbow Fertilizer through strange rituals.
‘I don’t know if I’ll be able to bring that item back safely.’
I don’t have human sacrifice, but I do have force.
Just keep hitting the sphere surrounding the fertilizer with the knights’ swords until it breaks!
Even in this desperate situation, I was trying to hold onto my sanity by continuing such ridiculous thoughts when that moment came.

“Yaaaaaaahhhhh!”
I ended up screaming with resentment. Max, who had been sticking close to my side and watching all directions, jumped in surprise.
“Ah, Lady? What’s wrong?!”
Grans calmly approached and comforted Max.
“She does this sometimes. It’s a chronic condition, so don’t worry.”
“A, a chronic condition? Suddenly screaming like that?”
Max looked at me with an expression of complete bewilderment, or more precisely, like he was looking at a crazy lady.
However, I was in no position to give any normal response.
(Time Remaining: 4 minutes 45 seconds)
Time was steadily ticking away!
I eventually gritted my teeth and said.
“Grans! Max!”
“Yes! Lady!”
“Yes.”
“From now on, help me climb onto the altar! Execute!”
“Pardon? Lady?”
“Pardon?”
“Quickly!”
That’s how I hurriedly climbed up the altar.
Meanwhile, the fanatics who saw me trying to climb the altar screamed with madness like people possessed by something and tried to grab my hair.
They swung their weapons frantically as if trying to separate my head from my body.
Even the knights who had been calmly sorting out the situation seemed quite flustered when I suddenly climbed onto the altar.
“Lady Tulia! It’s dangerous!”
“Why are you climbing up there of all places!”
I don’t want to do this either!
“I have to go up! Otherwise we’ll all die!”
“What?!”
No one understood what I was shouting while swallowing my tears.
Even Grans, who was used to my eccentric behavior, was looking at me while clutching his head.
But elites are elites.
Knight Captain Samot quickly shouted.
“Protect the Lady and drive back the heretics!”
“Yes sir!”
“Yes sir!”
The towering altar was like a cliff.
There were stairs leading up, but they were literally stairs in ‘appearance only.’ They were so narrow and steep that people couldn’t properly stand and walk on them.
Thanks to that, not only me but even Max and Grans had no choice but to climb the steep stairs like climbing a cliff.
“Lady!”
“Lady Tulia!”
Max and Grans, who were protecting me while climbing the stairs right in front and behind me, soon fell down the stairs one after another while fighting off the fanatics who were raging like mad dogs.
Because of that, I was the only one who made it safely onto the altar.
Oh, please.
‘Please, please, please.’
The higher I climbed, the stronger the smell of blood became. There must definitely be corpses piled up or pools of blood up there.
‘Please, if there are corpses, let them be intact corpses, not mutilated ones.’
Please, let those crazy bastards have the conscience to leave the dead alone without desecrating them…
I prayed desperately inside as I fully climbed onto the altar.
At that moment.
“…!”
A hidden fanatic swung a sword at me.
