Chapter 88

Before Hugo realized it, the group was approaching the deepest area that had been reached by anyone so far in the ruins. Normally, anyone would have proceed with great caution up to here, because in most cases, upon encountering a monster, one would be forced to stay on standby or to escape, but there was no need to consider those things due to the robed man’s overwhelming strength.

【”This is as far as anyone has been. No one has ever advanced any further than here.”】

【”Mmh, I see.”】

【”You can actually read this!?”】

【”Naturally.”】

【”No freaking way!”】

【”By the way, what was written there?”】

【”『The light at the summit』『The origin of the stars』”】

【”…Yeah, even with the translation, I still don’t get it.”】

【”Give me a torch.”】

【”H-hold on! How did you know how to open the door?”】

【”Well, the instructions to open it were thoughtfully written down.”】

【”Is that what those ancient letters meant…?”】

However, these kinds of intentions would not arise in anyone, thanks to the sacred atmosphere that enveloped the white walls of this place. For comparison’s sake, this space appeared to be like the majestic temples that would come up in tales and legends. Even Hugo, who had never really been religious, could not even consider defiling this place.

For a little while, the only sound that could be heard was the echo of the four people’s footsteps, and after the group advanced a little further, even that sound disappeared.

【”What are you going to do?”】

【”…Can’t open it without a key? That only applies in a world that’s managed by a system.”】

【”Huh?”】

【”So, what’s the treasure?”】

【”Hey, this is bad! Hurry and esca――”】

【”This thing, just what in the world…?”】

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the chapter, and I wish you an excellent day ?
