I Fell into the Game with Instant Kill-Novel

Chapter 88.1: Ruins of Cabolissa (2)

“There’s a certain level to being shameless…!”

The voice of the Second Lord was full of sharp edges.

It was an expected reaction.

I came to her suddenly and asked for a precious magic stone. Even I think I was being shameless.

Anyway, looking at her reaction, she definitely had one.

“I already warned you before. If you keep trying to use me like this…”

“I will make sure the last one would be the last.”

I didn’t want to continue arguing with her, so I just cut off whatever she was trying to say.

It startled the Thunder Lord.

“…The next request will be the last one?”

“Yes. If you give me the magic stone I needed, I will definitely tell you the location of the spirit I promised you at the end of the next request.”

I glanced at the level floating above her head. It was still 90 like before.

A place with a powerful spirit comparable to Laxia, the great thunder spirit that I annihilated.

As long as that was a bait, she definitely couldn’t refuse.

She said, looking at me with her eyes narrowed.

“Do you even know how precious magic stones are? To be honest…”

“If you’re going to talk nonsense, I will just find another Lord.”

I immediately blocked what she’s trying to do.

At my words, she frowned again and stopped.

“Where are you going to use the magic stone?”

“Is that important?”

“…It’s not important. Please keep your promises properly, Seventh Lord. You must give me the information I needed at your next request.”

“Of course.”

Contrary to the earnest voice of the Second Lord, I nodded with a light heart.

She clicked her tongue with a very uncomfortable face and stood up.

“Wait here.”

Apparently trying to get it herself, she went out of the room.

I leaned back in my chair and waited patiently for her to return.

If she gets the spirit, she’ll definitely be antagonistic again.

But no matter what attitude she showed, I had no intention of not keeping my promise.

Unless she’s an idiot, she wouldn’t recklessly attack me again after being beaten like that.

Soon after, she returned to the room. She was holding something the size of a fist in her hand.

The magic stone she held, unlike normal ones with a faint bluish tinge, had a completely transparent light.

I took what she handed over and examined it.

“Thank you. Then I’ll leave.”

Having obtained the magic stone, I immediately left the Second Lord’s Castle.

It was late at night, but I didn’t want to stay at the castle of the Thunder Lord. I was certain neither did she, so I moved right away.

***

There were many ruins and dungeons in the game.

Some of them had nothing to do with the main story, but there were, of course, some that had to do with it.

Ruins of Cabolissa.

A ruin left by a great mage who was praised as a great sage during the ancient time.

The place I was visiting with Asher was also a ruin related to the main story in the game.

It was an episode in which Asher found out the truth that there was no survivor and finally decided what she should do.

As we continued to slow down and change direction from earlier, Ti-Yong let out a roar, perhaps feeling frustrated.

I patted its neck to calm it down and then looked down intently.

The present location was a vast plateau to the west of Santea.

As the Ruins of Cabolissa was a place I passed through in the game as part of the main story, I definitely remembered the place.

It was a terrain like a deep pit…

It was a fairly large terrain, so it shouldn’t be difficult to find.

And as I thought, I was able to find it soon.

In the middle of the field, the terrain suddenly protruded like the crater of a dormant volcano.

“Let’s go down.”

He guided Ti-Yong to land in the middle of the pit and got off its back.

It looked small from above, but when we came down, the protruding surface was so high that it completely blocked my view.

Let’s see…

I looked around and found the entrance to the ruins with my super sensory maxed out.

I didn’t have to look for long. Soon, I found the thing I was looking for at a distance. It was a rock embedded in a slope, a huge magical energy was emanating from it.

That’s it.

Asher and I moved closer to the rock.

It was a long and wide rock reminiscent of a stone gate, and in the center of it were three fist size magic stones in a triangular shape.

Two emitted a soft golden light, but one only emitted a transparent light because it was half broken.

I examined the half-broken magic stone here and there and touched it with my hand. I tried to pull it with a bit of strength.

Hmm.

It didn’t even budge.

Even though half of it was broken, the magic stone stayed firmly embedded in the stone gate and did not move.

I pretended nothing was wrong and said to Asher.

“Pull this out.”

“…Ah, yes.”

She, too, seemed to have sensed the mighty magic power within the rock, and was distracted by it. She then stepped forward at my words.

Then, the broken magic stone was easily pulled out of the hole.

She looked at me with a puzzled expression as I inserted the magic stone I had brought into the hole.

Although the size was not right, the magic stone stuck like a magnet as soon as it touched the hole.

And soon the magic power felt from the rock stirred like a simmering fire, and even dyeing the magic stone golden.

I stepped away from the shaking rock and spoke to Asher.

“Try injecting magic into the rock.”

Asher hesitated for a moment, then put her hand on the rock and created magic.

Then, her blue mana and the golden mana mixed, and the rock split apart and opened on both sides.
