98. Battle of Ten Ma

98.

And there was no time to think deeply about the events of the morning.

It was that afternoon that the traces of the fierce battle appeared in front of them.

It was the frigate that first discovered it. However, Frigate was unaware of the fact that it was the trace of the Ten Ma Ma Tian until he touched it. He realized it when Ferien, who was taking a break from the midday heat, cried out in fright.

“Get away from there right now, PRIGATE!!!”

At the sudden call, the frigate, who was drinking water, heard the case and had to cough several times. The frigate, who had been cooing for a while, glanced at his fiancé with a resentful glance. And he was about to open his mouth to admonish, wondering if he had forgotten that shouting so loudly might attract dangerous creatures around him.

“That’s ten thousand battles.”

“What, 10,000 battles? Where?!”

Frygit completely forgot what he had just been admonishing at his fiancée’s words, and threw his body back, shaking his head in fright. His expression showed only surprise. After hearing Ferien’s words, Esilia’s body stiffened, and Zer Pied also turned her tension to her entire body.

However, nothing unreasonable was seen anywhere. Esilia rolled her trembling eyes about, but all she could see were the gloomy trees of the jungle she had been staring at for days. Praagit was equally aware of that fact. He looked at his fiancée with his questioning gaze.

Ferien pointed at a place with a tense expression without saying anything. All three heads turned in that direction. The spot she pointed to was where the frigate had put her foot up just before.

And the three couldn’t hide their embarrassment. In addition, it was no wonder that even though Freigate looked everywhere, he couldn’t find Manmajeon. She pointed to a small stone about the size of Escelia’s foot.

“…… Ten thousand horses?”

Frigit asked without doubt. The suspicion included the idea that Ferien might have overworked himself and ruined his mind, but Ferien’s expression was still serious. She nodded her head.

“Exactly, it’s part of the Manma War.”

Like the other two, the Death Knight, who had some doubts in his eyes, finally resolved his doubts and bent down to ask a question.

“You mean this is part of the Manma War?”

“Yes.”

The Death Knight bent down and looked closely at the stones on the floor. Frigate, who was watching the scene from her side, rolled her eyes and asked Ferien.

“No matter how you look at it, it looks like an ordinary stone?”

The answer to the question came from Death Knight.

“Part of the Manma War is correct. The patterns of demons are engraved, albeit vaguely.”

Hearing those words, Frey Gitte seemed to have a hard time hiding it, and a sly smile appeared on her lips.

“Hey, is that Ferien? How can I make out a pattern that I can’t even see?”

She grinned and predicted that her fiancée would tell her joke about him. Perien opened her mouth, stuttering her words in her bewilderment.

“Oh, no… …. I didn’t even know there was a pattern on it…. The reason I knew it was part of Manmajeon was because I heard from my great-grandmother…. Just because it’s part of Manmajeon, don’t even come close….”

Her suspicious gaze now shifted to Jer Pied. Zer Pied seemed to have frozen in the same posture as he bent down to examine the stone. The saintess of innocence was also taken aback and carefully looked at the Death Knight.

I kept my mouth shut to hide my embarrassment as much as possible, but it didn’t seem to help much. No matter how still his mouth was, his eyes were shaking like an earthquake. Fortunately, it would be the fact that Ferien and Frigitt did not notice her quivering eyes because they were sending suspicious glances.

Jer Pied tries to look as natural as possible, and she thinks carefully about what to say. She can’t say that she’s been here once, though. Furthermore, if she tells the story, she will have to even reveal that she is the Living Death, Jerpie Edrim Sed Baigal. It was when he was munching on her at such thoughts.

“…… Come to think of it, it was weird from before. Including how the heck did he know that Manmajeon was here. Strangely, don’t you act like you know this place well? I already said that I would take you, but to be honest, there are not one or two strange things.”

Perien’s eyes had changed from doubtful to suspicious. At her subtly tense voice, her frigate beside her was rather embarrassed and took action to stop her. Her words were so direct.

“Hey, hey…… ! Perien… !”

Ferien watched them fiercely, holding that gaze for a moment, then she smiled and shook her head and turned her back.

“Hey, if you’re going to do something, you’ve already done it to us. Besides, as I already said, just letting us meet again safely with the frigate did a great job.”

She walked forward for a moment, and Ferien, her soft smile flashing a little, she said to them.

“I won’t ask any more about what happened. I just trust that it won’t be a danger to us.”

An unexpected person answered Ferien’s words.

“I will guarantee that.”

She was a saint of innocence. Frigate and Ferien looked at the saintess of innocence who stepped forward with a slightly dazed expression. Ferien muttered in a slightly bewildered tone.

“…… Miss?”

Cilia nodded her head.

“My… I’ll put my name on it and guarantee it. I will never do anything that would harm you two, or Lauren’s entire elven tribe. So, please do not doubt the knight.”

It looked pretty odd. It was ungirly. The scene of the little girl looking straight at them and shouting confidently seemed to make us forget the girlish appearance of a girl of that age that we had shown so far. It was more like a priest than a girl. It was to the point where I felt like a saint of innocence that I had only heard about through rumors.

The two elves stared blankly at the girl, then burst into laughter.

“Yes, yes. The clergy lady said so, so you have to believe it. Can you tell me?”

Perien shrugged her shoulders.

“Ah, unlike Ferien, I believed in it from the beginning. Know? How long have I been with you guys?”

After that remark, the frigate had to remain silent for a while that day. If anyone experienced a palm-like warming on one cheek, they would have no choice but to become quiet.

Of course, it wasn’t just that she had been harshly physically disciplined by her fiancée that kept her silent. He looked at what was in front of him and mumbled in a daze.

“What is this…… ?”

He looked at his fiancée and asked a question, but he didn’t get the answer he expected.

“I don’t know… ….”

Because Ferien also had a similar expression. What was in front of them was a huge stone like a tombstone. The expression ‘the same’ as a tombstone was because it had a very strange shape to be called a tombstone.

First of all, the size of the stone was as huge as the size of two Esilia. Above all, the stone did not stand up straight, but seemed to have been blown in from somewhere and stuck there. As if something broke and flew far away.

In one word, it was like ‘debris’. Just like the stone that Frigate was about to step on. Ferien, Frigate, and Ethilia slowly looked around.

There were huge stones in front of them all around. However, all of them were at an angle that seemed almost to fall over, or as if they were being pierced by some kind of force.

A human and two elves had to experience the dizziness of falling just by looking at such a huge stone and doubting whether it was really a fragment.

After they first saw a stone that was said to be part of Manmajeon, it wasn’t long before there were more and more stones like it. A few stones that first appeared simply looked like large stones, but as more time passed, there were more and more stones with conspicuous patterns engraved on them.

Now they were able to notice. And their thoughts changed to confidence in what they saw before their eyes and in one word.

“Looks like you’ve reached ten thousand battles.”

No one will be able to refute that statement. Although it was certainly far away, it was clearly a pillar that could be seen.
