“7 heroes!”
Ark felt a flash after reading the information window. The 7 heroes were the ones who originally created Shangri-La’s defense ward. Then wouldn’t the descendants of the 7 heroes be the key to making it work again? That’s right. Ark’s Three Marvels was the symbol of Hero Maban and it was assimilated into the defense ward’s control device. In the information window, it explained why the control device was restricted to the descendants of the 7 heroes. If the defense ward was destroyed then there was a chance that the demons would take over Shangri-La. Therefore the 7 heroes established a seal to prevent it from being used after it was restored. It was the result of some deep planning.
‘Anyway, that doesn’t matter now!’
He had figured out how to work the circular slab. However, there was still a problem to be addressed with the circular slab.
‘It needs the symbol of all 7 heroes to work. But there is no guarantee that the heroes’ descendants have entered this war. Even if they entered the war, they might already be dead. And how am I supposed to find them in a combat situation like this?’
However, Ark’s worries were immediately settled.
“Eh? What, what the?”
“Wah, what is this? Why is my bag rumbling?”
While Ark was busy thinking. Suddenly there was an intense flash from the other 6 holes in the control device. At the same time, Lariette’s chest started glowing white while Wormer’s bag shook and had a brown glow. The freaked out Lariette and Wormer hurriedly checked the identity of the light. It was a teardrop shaped pendant hanging on Lariette’s neck and Wormer had an old brown diary that vibrated.
‘A tear shaped pendant and a square diary!”
Ark’s eyes immediately moved towards the control device. The two items fit perfectly into the holes glowing with the same coloured light.
‘There’s no doubt. The symbols that the 7 heroes left behind have started to react after the control device was activated! This must be the navigation system. But……’
He already knew that Lariette had become a hero’s descendant after Alan. Yet he was surprised about Wormer. He never even imagined that Wormer was a hero’s descendant. Wormer noticed Ark’s surprised eyes and laughed.
“Huhuhu, I guess I can’t hide it anymore. I am the descendant of the genius dwarf inventor and hero, Hamilan……”
“There’s no time. Hurry and insert the symbols!”
Ark shouted angrily and Wormer petulantly placed the diary into the control device. Lariette also inserted her necklace into the teardrop shaped hole. Then Ark saw that the information window had updated again.
-New symbols have been loaded onto the defense ward’s control device.
‘That’s it! 3 out of found!’
And he had already secured another hero’s symbol. Ark knew another hero’s descendant, Shambala. Ark immediately used the Feather of Whispering to contact Shambala.
-Shambala, you’re not dead yet?
-You bastard, are you going to keep on talking or come help?
-I am doing something. I’m busy so I’ll give you the detailed information later but quickly come here!
-Eh? Come where?
-The white tower in Shangri-La. Hurry!
-Why do I have to hurry? Am I your servant now?
-It doesn’t matter, just come quickly. It is important.
-……Understood.
Shambala was about to say something but stopped after hearing Ark’s serious voice. He might have a temper but Shambala was quick to notice things.
“Now, the remaining 3 symbols are the problem…… I have to figure out where they are……”
Ark murmured when he saw the empty holes in the control device. Suddenly the red light coming from the dagger shaped hole seemed to become stronger. In fact, Ark had guessed who that belonged to the moment he knew that it was for the symbols of the 7 heroes. Shambala was the descendant of the master assassin Salrin so naturally the dagger shape would belong to him.
‘The light from his hole is gradually becoming stronger? Then perhaps……?’
He was receiving the message that Shambala was coming closer to Shambala. Then the light became stronger when it reacted to the symbols?
‘That’s right! After thinking about it, the strongest light had emitted from Lariette and Wormer’s hole just now. Obviously the light will become stronger the closer the symbol gets. Then?’
Ark looked at the still unknown three holes. The light there was similar to the standard before Shambala started moving. In other words, the rest of the heroes were close to the place Shambala used to be before he started moving.
‘That means the rest of the heroes’ descendants have entered the war and are still alive!’
Ark immediately left the white tower. He jumped on Burning Soul who was waiting in front of the tower and shouted.
“Curio, disperse all bats on the battlefield right now. Tell them to look in the water and the air and locate the position of anyone who is emitting light!”
“I understand Master. Hey you children, you have a new job!”
Curio ordered all his subordinates to search. At the same time, the voices of the leaders stopped emerging from Curio’s mouth. The 10 subordinates left the NPCs and started to search the battlefield. Therefore Ark couldn’t grasp the situation of the air fleet anymore but that wasn’t important now. Curio murmured in his ear after a while.
“Master, my subordinate has found someone.”
“Where?”
“In the sea. Two people are on the Bristania flagship that is surrounded by demons. 800 metres away at your 7 o’clock.”
“Okay. Burning Soul, let’s go!”
Kurarara, kurarara!
Ark grabbed Burning Soul’s horns and flew away. While he was riding away, Shambala who had just arrived at the white tower shouted.
“Hey! I thought you were busy so where are you going?”
“There’s no time to explain. Go inside and Lariette will tell you!”
Ark didn’t even bother looking back and just yelled as he flew off. An information window appeared shortly afterwards.
-New symbols have been loaded onto the defense ward’s control device.
Shambala had also inserted his symbol on the circular slab.
“It worked. Now I just have to find the remaining 3……”
Ark muttered as he observed the battlefield where several battleships were fighting with demons. A battleship surrounded by against jellyfish caught his eye. It was the flagship of the Bristania expedition. And two lights were shining from the deck of the battleship.
“Over there! Blade Tempest!”
Ark pushed back the swarming demons with Blade Tempest and landed on the deck. And a voice rang out across the boat.
“The person who has a light shining from his body please come here!”
“Beast Spirit possession, rise power of the dog! What? Light? Are you talking about me?”
“High speed intonation, fire, ice! Damn, what the? Why is light coming from my body? Won’t this just catch the demons’ eyes even more? Eh, that guy is…..?”
Two people who were fiercely fighting the demons turned around at Ark’s shout. Ark’s eyes widened as he caught sight of them.
“Aren’t you Ark?”
“Eh? Why are you here?”
“Bread, Redian? You guys were heroes’ descendants?”
