Chapter 164 – With the Ancestors (10)
Mimir was a place that seemed to reproduce the word holy place. Tombstones filled with green moss were lined up in a huge cylindrical hall, and the ceiling was dome-shaped, with bright light filtering through. Blue mana particles were floating on the moss on the floor, and at the center of the sanctuary was a yellow glowing orb.
The beads floating in the middle of the sanctuary dazzled our eyes by emitting bright light periodically, as if to unquestionably demonstrate their presence. The elder approached the marble, scratching at his age spots as old as moss on the floor.
“Now I will open the bottom of Mimir.”
The old man put his hand on the marble and thrust his cane into the floor and started screaming.
“Huuuuu…!”
With a solemn and majestic spirit that made me wonder if it was shooting energy waves, the beads began to rise. With the intention of exploding at any moment, the beads began to flicker. A.A moved my hand to her to her sword hilt involuntarily, and I also clutched her mace.
“Haaaaap!”
The beads swayed violently with the old man’s loud cry. Both A.A and I were surprised and took a step back. At the same time as we retreated, Mimir’s tombstones moved and created a staircase between the walls. The old man laughed when he saw us take a step back.
“You are cowards, but will you pass Mimir’s test? When I was young, even if divine punishment fell from the sky, I would not budge. Kids these days…”
“Let’s go, warrior.”
The old man would talk a lot if he left alone. I chewed on what he was talking about and forced A.A. What about A.A. Holding my wrist? Uh? He let out a shriek and was dragged away.
“What adults say…”
I heard an old man muttering behind me, but he neatly ignored it. Whether it was the Council of Elders or the Queen, they were humans that I had no reason to see once they left the Elven Kingdom. I pulled out the mace from my waist and continued downstairs.
“Hey, wait a minute, priest! Let me go! It hurts!”
“Oh, I’m sorry.”
I let go of my hand. A.A grabbed his wrist her and looked back at him. He said.
“The elder must have been very hurt. I wish I could go back and apologize at least…”
“Go back. I’ll go forward first.”
A. A shut his mouth without any hesitation at my succinct suggestion. She drew her sword and stood next to me. Mimir’s bottom was a fairly wide dungeon, so even if we both stood side by side and swung our weapons, we were able to keep the distance so that we couldn’t touch each other. Aei, a melee fighter, took a position in front of me, and I stepped back a bit and raised my mace.
“It reminds me of the old days.”
“Isn’t it? It was fun then.”
Since A.A was walking down the street together, it seemed that he remembered the time when he subdued the demon lord. I did too. At that time, there was really pure pleasure of traveling. At night, they sat around a bonfire and talked about trivial matters, and when daytime came, they left their backs on each other and risked their lives against the monsters.
“Do you remember when I fought the ogre? The priest broke my knee with a mace because I couldn’t reach the vital point with the knife.”
When I broke the ogre’s joints with my mace, Ai cut the neck of the monster whose stance collapsed. A.A liked that it was a very neat connection and asked for a high-five, and I was delighted as we crossed our palms.
“Yes. I did. And I also caught the demon king, but warrior. Do you remember when the demon king fell?”
“Yes? Then? Ah, then…”
Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy of her words of her. From her point of view, the incident seemed very embarrassing. She said shaking her head.
“No, how do you bring up the story of how I became a woman for the first time? The priest said he saved me, but he’s a bit naughty.”
“Yes?”
I found that word a bit odd. It is true that I saved A.A., But before that, she said, A.A saved me first. The questions I wanted to ask were not questions like how was she when she became a woman or did she feel anything different after becoming a woman? At that time, when the demon king struck the final blow, he asked me why he tried to save me.
At that time, even from my point of view, the demon king was weak, and I was the priest who was the ultimate counter to the demon king. Looking at the situation, it was better for me to be hit by the demon lord’s beam rather than A.A, who is just a warrior. A.A. Looked at me curiously, and she rather asked back.
“Huh? Didn’t you mean to make fun of me with the story of me becoming a woman?”
“No. What I wanted to ask was… In front of you.”
Aye drew her sword right away. A monster made of vines and rocks was walking from the other side of the cave. As if eyes, nose and mouth were clumsily attached, small pebbles were stuck to the face.
The vines that looked like arms and legs were covered with stones like boils. Although they were walking around, we could see that the scarecrow-like body had considerable weight. I checked the monster’s status window.

I asked A.A.
“When I fought the ogre, do you remember?”
A.A smiled and replied.
“Yes!”
I gave both of us a blessing and ran forward first. The spirit swung a huge arm at me. Compared to the timing of the shoulder movement, the arm flew later, so it was surprisingly difficult to avoid. But I quickly dodged it by ducking and hit the knee as hard as I could with the mace.
Kang!
With a stinging sound, the spirit’s knees were smashed. Taking advantage of the moment when the unbalanced golem collapsed, A.A jumped high and aimed at the spirit’s head.
“Ughhh!”
With a strong spirit, A.A’s sword cut the spirit’s body vertically.
“Keeeeeg
It was questionable whether the oral structure even existed, but the spirit let out a painful scream and fired vines and stones in all directions. I ducked to avoid the vital spot, and A.A. Also turned around in mid-air and hurriedly avoided the fragments.
Like a colony of insects, the shocked spirit’s body began to wriggle. The body made of vines and rocks protruded in all directions like bursting spaghetti, and only the round core at the center of the spirit floated in the air and emitted light.
“Keeeeek!”
The object presumed to be the core of the spirit screamed loudly. AI trembled his hand and stepped back. The spirit’s core, which once withstood A.A’s blow, spun in the air and then fell helplessly to the floor. The surrounding vines and rock-like objects tried to gather toward the core, but lost their power and withered away.
A.A held out his palm without a word, and I put my palm together and raised my thumb. A.A looked around the core of the spirit and said.
“It’s an old spirit. It’s rare to see such a strong one…”
“Have you caught a spirit?”
“It used to be. There are many spirits living in the forest. Just before the demon king was resurrected, the spirits were violent and would fight passers-by.”
It seemed that they were all lost to the monsters on their way to our territory. A.A roughly threw away the broken spirit core on the floor and asked me.
“So, priest. What questions were you trying to ask?”
“Any questions?”
The spirit appeared and I completely forgot about it. I made up my mind again. Then he looked at her and asked.
“At that time, why did you save me? So, it’s okay if you just saved me. No one thought I’d be that strong, and in fact, it might have been better for me to be buffed and beaten.”
“It’s embarrassing to ask such a thing. Why does the priest only ask me questions that would make me feel ashamed?”
A.A laughed and scratched her cheek. The answer was so cute that I smiled on my own. Said A.
“There’s no need for a special reason for a person to save someone. I’m not a complex person like the priest who can think logically, so I just think that if someone is in danger, I have to save them. So, it’s just that simple.”
It’s simple. She was a completely different person from me. I suddenly felt the difference. A.A., With whom I felt a sense of camaraderie after leaving her her first adventure her, was this kind of person. She is innocent, cheerful, and she knows friendship and grace. She is kind enough to be foolish, and a person who knows how to express her feelings honestly and plainly.
When I thought that she was holding me by the shoulders as she cried out in betrayal and pleasure from beneath me, I felt like she was going crazy.
I could n’t stand the swollen lower part of my body when I thought that she was crushing on such a human being and stabbing her to her to her to her heart to her’s content to her. Her A-A’s slender thighs, her plump hips, her outstretched back of her, and her thin but well-muscled arms her stimulated my sexual desire.
“After…”
I took a deep breath and calmed my excitement. Still, it was a time when the cause took precedence over sexual desire. Here, she attacked A.A., And if I were to lose, she would neither die nor eat. How to catch two rabbits and miss them both.
I walked forward, evading A.A., Who thought it was strange that he suddenly sighed.
After removing the spirits, there was no sign of attacking someone in particular. We walked forward, vigilantly. As the wind blew, we could see that we had reached the end of the cave. A faint light was visible in the distance.
“What is it?”
“Person?”
A.A., Who had good eyesight, accurately caught the shape of the light. We moved forward more cautiously and cautiously. The entity that emits dazzling light was not hostile towards us. It wasn’t until I got a little closer that I could clearly see the shape.
It was a woman. A naked woman was staring at us with a bright light all over her body. She just stared in the direction we were coming from as if time had stopped. She didn’t do anything. I waved her hand her in front of her eyes and tried swinging a mace, but she did n’t respond. I opened her status window and checked her name her.
