8 - Exploring the Ruins #2

"Ugg...... ghh...... Aa...... aa...... aa......."

The intermittent moans and gasps escaped from Yulin's mouth.

The voice is neither painful nor pleasurable.

Her whole body shook like a mirage.

"Yulin──?"

Her body──its shape became vague, as if it were dissolving into space.

It was more like a spirit than a body.

"Yulin-chan!"

Shea screamed.

"Ugh, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH......!"

Yulin's screech burst out.

It was an animal-like roar, unlike that of a neat and pretty girl.

After a moment, her figure regained its shape.

Back to her original beautiful girl in a maid's uniform.

"Are you all right, Yulin......?"

"Yulin-chan......?"

Shea and I called out to her fearfully.

Yulin was breathing heavily.

"Chrome-sama, Shea-san, .......'

Yulin turned to us and had an anxious look on her face.

"Have I changed in any way?"

Her eyes were unusually sharp.

"Am I still looking like a human......?"

"You are still the same Yulin you always were."

I nodded vigorously to reassure her.

Shea also nodded next to me.

However, there was also a sense of uneasiness inside.

Although the outward appearance had not changed, I felt the aura of the miasma emitted by those inhuman beings had become much thicker.

Is it an effect of this ruin......?

If so, would it be better to have Yulin wait at a distance?

Or──?

Yulin was mortally wounded in the encounter with Valery's disciple, Mikha.

I made her a [Subordinate] and gave her the [Demonization] skill to save her life that was about to be lost, but──

Was that really the right thing to do?

My thoughts are still wavering after all this time.

The [Demonization] is a completely permanent skill and cannot be canceled.

In other words, Yulin will remain a demon forever.

"Please don't give me that look, Chrome-sama. I'm sorry for causing you unnecessary anxiety."

Yulin smiled sadly.

"I am fine. Thanks to the two of you, I feel much better. Yes....... I would like to take this as an opportunity to go on with the ruins. To see what is happening within me."

"Shall we go together, Yulin-chan."

Shea smiled brightly.

"We are companions and friends. No matter how you change."

"Shea-san......"

"Isn't that right, Chrome-sama?"

Shea asked me to agree with her.

Friends.......huh.

After Yuno, Irina and the others betrayed me that day, I had given up.

I would never trust or love anyone deeply again.

A part of my heart had died.

Love, friendship, all those beautiful things were gone.

That's what I thought.

But when I looked at Shea and Yulin, I felt a warmth spreading in my heart.

"Yeah, that's right. Let's go together."

My mind was made up.

I nodded to Yulin and then to Shea.

"I will not give up on my friends here. I will not desert them."

Maybe──

Maybe I'll be able to once again believe in people.

A few minutes after entering the ruin, Yulin suddenly stopped.

"Chrome-sama, Shea-san, there is a suspicious place up ahead."

Yulin's both eyes lit up with a crimson light.

"The flow of magic power is clearly different there...... perhaps there is a hidden passageway camouflaged by magic power."

"Hidden passage......?"

"I'll go check it out."

Shea ran forward.

On both of her legs, black boots were equipped.

At both ankles were parts that resemble wings.

These were the equipment that appeared when she demonstrated her skill [Acceleration].

Shea ran forward in a straight line.

Without fear or hesitation.

In a situation like this, it was her turn to use her melee combat skills the most.

Of course, she never strays more than 10 meters away from me, just in case.

"Oh, it's true. A part of the floor moves. It looks like there are stairs down there."

Shea stopped.

"Amazing, Yulin-chan."

"Ufufu."

"Yulin, you──"

I looked at Yulin, unable to hide my surprise.

Before, Yulin would not have had that level of magic perception ability.

After all, something was beginning to change in her.......

But for now, the first priority is to move forward.

Rather than leaving the cause of the problem unknown, we should go in, knowing the risk, and find out what caused the problem──which is what Yulin wanted.

We proceeded through the underground passage.

Soon after, we reached its deepest part.

There was a huge cavern, perhaps a natural limestone cave, and two huge silhouettes at the end of the cavern.

Both were monuments.

"It is rare to see someone with such a powerful [Darkness] dwelling within him."

"It appears that he's under the influence of the spell [Chain of Darkness] that lies in the temple of [Offering].'"

Voices echoed from the two monuments.

These were──
