[But, I can’t defeat Yue or Shia…..if I’m a bugged character then, what are Hajime-kun and them?]
[.....Something hard to describe or something...like that…..]
Shizuku was showing a difficult expression as she thought of the best way to describe Hajime and them, it seems that nothing came to mind in the end. Kouki called out to Shizuku.
[It’s fine, Shizuku. As long as we can clear the great labyrinth then even we can become as strong as Nagumo. No, if you think about Nagumo’s non-fighting class, surely we’d be able to be stronger than him]
[Looks like it. I’m looking forwards to find out what kind of magic we’ll obtain]
[Un, lets do our best!]
Although Hajime’s strength doesn’t come solely from Age of Gods magic, Kouki who was through with it was strongly clenching his fist. Ryutaro and Suzu also seemed to have been pumped up.
[Every~one, We’ve reached it~]
When Kouki and them were firing themselves up, Shia tells them of their arrival at the big tree as she looked back over her shoulder. When Hajime and them chased after Shia who advanced ahead and disappeared into the other side of the fog, they arrived at a space that had no fog. Towering in front was a withered huge tree just exactly like they saw before.
[This is…..the big tree…..]
[It’s large…..]
[It’s extremely…...huge]
While looking above their heads, they weren’t even able to see the top of the big tree, Kouki and them had their mouths opened absentmindedly as its width was so long it was as if they were standing in front of a wall. Surely it was the same expression anyone else would have had when seeing it for the first time, Hajime and Yue had a small smile while looking at eachother.
Hajime approached the lithograph while pulling out all the proofs that he’s obtained from the other great labyrinths out of his “Treasure Warehouse”. The lithograph hasn’t changed since last time, crests of the 7 great labyrinths are drawn on the front and it’s back was hollow in order to allow the proofs to be place in.
While crouching down, Hajime was playing with the 5 proofs in his palm, Kouki and them were finally freed from the large tree’s dignified appearance and focused on Hajime. From now on it’ll be a place where anything can truly happen at anytime. While bracing themselves, Hajime looked sharply at Kouki and them.
[Cam, Since we don’t know what’ll happen from now on, back off with the Hauria tribe]
[Roger, boss. May fortune be with you]
By Fair Bergen’s negotiations, the south land with the big tree became Cam and their territory but, from Hajime’s words his expression became a bit disappointed, However he still decided to salute and then everyone spread out together.
When he confirmed that, Hajime slowly placed the [Orcus Great Labyrinth] ring of proof into the hollow section of the lithograph. Once it was placed, the lithograph began to shine faintly and characters appeared.
“4 proofs”
“Power of Reproduction”
“Guidepost of weaved bonds”
“A path for a new trial shall be open for those who have everything”
[This is the same as before as well. The used proof….is anything other than [Kamiyama] fine]
Hajime went ahead and set the proofs into the lithograph that while muttering. [Raisen’s Ring] [Guryuen’s Pendant] [Merujine’s Coin]......
Each time one was set into the lithograph, it’s light strengthened up. And immediately after placing the final coin, the light was set free and it scattered onto the front of the big tree, this time the big tree was the one that shined brightly.
[Mu? A crest has appeared on the big tree]
[.....Next is, the power of Reproduction?]
As Teio muttered with great interest, a pattern of the 7 angel systems stood out on the trunk of the large tree. Yue walked towards the shining pattern and while quietly touching it she used Reproduction magic.
Immediately afterwards,
Pa~aaaaa!!
The big tree was wrapped up in a light uncomparable to before, a wave of light was continuously rippling towards the top from the place that Yue had touched.
The big tree that was shining brightly, gradually revived as the light spread out to every corner as if it was absorbing water from its roots.
