Part 2, Chapter 50 (243)
* * *
“Be careful, my daughter. My son.”
“Don’t worry, Father.”
After finishing a light meal, Diagon stood in the central hall of the Raximun Estate, regarding his two identical daughters with a somewhat troubled expression.
He couldn’t even tell which one was the real Superti Fasayen.
“I will protect my sister well, Father.”
“I trust you.”
Mikard was equally confused.
However, true to his nature, Mikard decided to think simply about it.
Whether the Superti Fasayen who entered with him was real or not, he would protect her with his life—what else mattered?
Vanilla, having studied Superti Fasayen’s movements and speech patterns, was so perfectly “Superti Fasayen” herself.
Even the way she smiled with her mouth slightly open and eyes wide was identical.
“Let’s all survive and meet again.”
After one final embrace, they moved to their respective positions of entry.
Now the trial truly began.
* * *
“Splash!”
Surrounded by the dark space on all sides, the three who fell landed in the Dark Blue River.
“This hospitality is rather poor.”
Mikard, who had emerged first with Superti Fasayen, quickly pulled Mint Belarion up by the back of her neck and rolled his shoulders.
“The first trial is water…”
Quite a clever strategist.
Wasn’t this placement designed with the fake Superti Fasayen in mind?
‘They must have been trying to gauge whether she could swim well or poorly.’
But among these three, only Mint Belarion was helpless in water.
“Ugh, what is that? Disgusting!”
While surveying the surroundings, Mint Belarion shrieked as if having a fit.
“Superti Fasayen” quickly covered her mouth, but the voice had already echoed in all directions.
Mikard drew his short sword and turned his gaze toward where Mint Belarion was pointing.
“Monster fish?”
Things that could only be described as such were crawling out of the river, thrashing about.
They had fish bodies but four legs and feet attached—definitely monsters.
Mikard smirked, threw his short sword to pierce the nearest one, then drew his longsword and began cutting them down.
Mint Belarion, despite her dramatics, fought quite competently.
“Urakan! Help us!”
Superti Fasayen also summoned Urakan, her most treasured high-tier spirit, to aid in the battle.
Honestly, the others couldn’t see Urakan, but when the fish monsters were swept away by wind, they simply thought, ‘I guess it’s there.’
The creatures weren’t particularly strong in combat, so they were dispatched easily.
“Urakan, search for any living people, would you?”
No matter how thoroughly I searched, there were no living souls on the 1st Floor.
After confirming several corpses piled up in the River Downstream, Mikard gently closed their eyes one by one, then collected their belongings and placed them in his pocket.
The pocket he carried was itself a Subspace, and when items were placed inside this way, they organized themselves automatically.
“Let’s head up to the 2nd Floor.”
Soon, the three of us moved to the 2nd Floor far more quickly than we had anticipated.
It was all thanks to the Spirit who guided our path with the wind.
* * *
When we ascended past the unremarkable 1st Floor to the next level, I was utterly startled.
Until entering the Tower, I had imagined every conceivable scenario. But this… exceeded my expectations.
“It drains life force, they said. Good heavens.”
[The Earth Spirit King Noom furrows his brow.]
[Excessive.]
Quite right.
The 2nd Floor of the Tower was an enormous greenhouse enclosed beneath a glass dome.
The sunlight filtering through the ceiling seemed artificially regulated from somewhere, filling the space with an endlessly shimmering golden radiance.
Massive exotic plants flourished densely, with branches heavy with plump fruit hanging between them.
Viewed only to this point, it was truly beautiful.
But—
[The Earth Spirit King Noom gestures.]
[Be cautious. They are all carnivorous plants.]
Crack!
The moment I read the Earth Spirit King’s words, my body reacted instinctively.
I quickly stepped backward, and the ground revealed deep gouges. Glancing around, plants bristling with teeth appeared from nowhere, targeting us.
Blake immediately drew his sword and sliced through them while I summoned a high-tier Fire Spirit to incinerate them, and Rasifer glanced around searching for something.
“There it is. The boss of this floor.”
“…!”
True to his words, far in the distance, a colossal flower displayed its majesty—so enormous that ten grown men spreading their arms could not fully encircle it.
That flower, with its crimson petals and blue spots scattered across them, was honestly more grotesque than beautiful.
Roots that seemed alive crawled slowly, searching for prey and licking the air, while beneath them lay a mountain of skulls.
“It’s consumed quite a lot.”
“We’ll probably need to eliminate that to proceed.”
“Easy enough. Let’s handle it quickly and move on.”
“Right.”
The air was oppressively humid.
My skin glistened with sweat and breathing came with difficulty.
Blake seemed to share the same struggle, his expressionless face showing faint signs of discomfort.
Screeeech!
Having spotted us at last, the monstrous flower shrieked with an eerie cry and extended its vines toward us.
‘If Naiad had seen this, he would have found it truly fascinating.’
Should I try to take a piece of it back with us?
If Naiad possessed plant-based abilities, they might be able to handle it.
While I was deliberating, Rasifer unleashed lightning from above.
Crash!
With a sharp boom, the monster flower burned away entirely.
“…Impressive.”
“Hmph.”
As Blake muttered quietly, Rasifer scoffed and turned his head away sharply.
As if Blake’s assistance had never been necessary in the first place.
‘In terms of pure strength, Blake should have been assigned to the other team.’
Even if stronger monsters appeared as we ascended, I couldn’t imagine Rasifer losing to any of them.
But if Blake had been with the other team, it would have been a tremendous help.
Concealing such thoughts, I collected a sample from the massive flower.
“Shall we head toward that end, Shu?”
“Yeah, let’s go.”
The door to the next floor was found more smoothly than expected.
Though… it was hanging above our heads.
“Over there—isn’t that the door?”
“It is. What a troublesome old man.”
Rasifer, who had been staring at my fingertip, furrowed his brow and cast a flight spell on all of us.
On the 3rd floor we ascended to….
There were countless mirrors.
* * *
The 3rd floor was a labyrinth composed of silvery metal, glass shards, and mirrors.
As we surveyed the floor’s expanse, we all opened our mouths simultaneously.
“This place is really strange.”
“Tell me about it.”
“I can’t even fathom why something like this was created.”
Why something like this was created.
Why something like this was created.
Why something like this was created.
The moment Blake finished speaking, echoes bounced back from countless mirrors.
Looking closely, Blake’s reflection in the mirrors was repeating his words with a slight delay.
“…This feels unsettling.”
I muttered, wrapping my arms around myself.
Our reflections in the mirrors seemed to have deeper shadows and appeared more gaunt than reality.
“These mirrors are strange. All three of us never appear in the same reflection.”
Moreover, the sensation of being observed was deeply unpleasant.
We pushed through the mirrors and moved forward, but with our images reflecting everywhere, finding our way was difficult.
“Shu, look there.”
Then Rasifer grabbed me and pointed ahead.
“….”
Blake glanced in that direction and released a low, heavy sigh.
Someone wearing an expression of anguish was trapped within the glass.
It wasn’t any of us three—a complete stranger.
“…Could this be someone who got trapped here?”
How pitiful.
As we progressed down the corridor, these bizarre mirrors grew increasingly numerous.
I attempted to burn a mirror that reflected nothing, but it left no scorch marks whatsoever.
Slashing it with a blade does shatter it, but I couldn’t possibly destroy them one by one.
Besides, my sword would dull before I finished.
Even attempting to fly using levitation magic proved futile—the mirrors extended into the very sky itself, creating an inescapable structure.
In other words, this place was a labyrinth in every direction: above, middle, and below.
What could be the best approach?
As I pondered this, a small whisper reached my ears.
– What if I can’t save Sister Diolrose?
