Chapter 160: Snow’s Sacred Stigmata

Chapter 160 – Snow’s Sacred Stigmata

A red tattoo――the sacred stigmata emerged on Snow’s face .

According to Libra,

The stigmata was the revelation from G.o.d… . Does that mean what is happening to Snow right now has something to do with G.o.d!?

[Fai!]

[Is this what happens if she’s fully resurrected?]

While we were dumbstruck, Greed called out .

『We don’t know what will happen . Switch to black s.h.i.+eld form just in case . 』

As soon as I heard him, I immediately drew Greed out and switched him to s.h.i.+eld form before taking my position in front of Roxy .

[The town…]

Snow may release a huge amount of magic power . If that happens, the damage would be immense . At least around the area we’re currently in .

And just as expected, Snow released a huge explosion of magic power .

It was so huge, that it filled my entire field of vision . If it wasn’t for me standing behind the black s.h.i.+eld, I might’ve gotten overwhelmed by it .

[Are you alright?]

[Yes . Just a slight headache . ]

[Thank goodness… How about the town?]

Saying so, I looked around .

[Fai, take a look!]

When I looked toward the direction Roxy was pointing at, I saw that there’s a hole on the street .

And it was such a well maintained stone paved street… . Anyway the hole looked quite deep .

[It seems that she went down . ]

[To the Hauzen’s underground…?]

[Is there something of importance there?]

[I don’t know . All I know is that there is a sewer down there . ]

Aaron told me that the history of Hauzen spans nearly a thousand years .

But in those recorded history, there’s no mention of anything of particular importance in the underground .

[But I don’t think she’ll dig underground without any goal…]

[This place was part of Gallia 4000 years ago . Just maybe]

We looked at each other as the possibility finally became clear in our mind .

[In any case, we need to make sure that none of the townsfolk get caught in the hubris . ]

[About that, don’t worry . It seems that the reinforcement has arrived . ]

While talking to Roxy, I could sense the sign of a lot of people coming towards us .

[Even now, the warriors protecting Hauzen are already on the move . They are dependable . ]

When I turned around, several warriors had already arrived .

One of them came up front .

[Boss, that was some enormous magic shockwave . What happened?]

Before explaining further, I first introduced Roxy to the warriors .

This warrior name was Baldo . He was the leader of the party I saved from the Sand Golem in the past .

Originally Aaron’s subordinate, after Aaron’s retirement, he along with the other subordinates had been wandering around as mercenaries .

However, upon hearing about Hauzen reconstruction, he immediately rushed here .

And now, he’s working as my subordinate to maintain the town security .

[Turns out Fai has some reliable subordinates too . ]

Roxy looked happy after I introduced Baldo to her . Did she think that I only have Greed to help me out…?

Well, if she’s happy, then I’ll feel happy as well .

We briefed the warriors about what happened to Snow .

While carrying their daily duty, I had also asked them to search for Myne . So they immediately understood that this has something to do with it .

[I see… Leave the town residents to us . And, what about that man called Libra?]

I shook my head and told them to not get involved with him . There was too much of a difference in ability . If they chased after him, the situation might turn worse if they accidentally touched Libra’s reversed scale .

That man, if he’s serious, he might be capable of erasing Hauzen from the map . The extent of his power is still unknown to us .

[The two of us will give chase to Snow . Baldo, go inform Seto and start working on evacuating the townspeople, just in case of disastrous result . ]

[Is the situation really that grave?]

Obviously Baldo became anxious . But I could only nod to his question .

[I think you should’ve realized from the magnitude of that magic shockwave . The individual we are dealing with this time belongs to that area . ]

[I could certainly feel it, and it was so much bigger than anything I’ve felt so far…No, it’s a big problem . I will start immediately . ]

Baldo chuckled and left to give instruction to his men .

[Alright then, I guess it’s about time . ]

[Indeed . ]

Roxy also seemed to notice .

When I was dealing with Baldo, my mind was still filled with Libra and Snow, that I could only focus on what lied before me . But now that I’m calm, I could feel my surroundings in a better clarity now .

Since she’s still unable to overcome her fear, I was worried that she became upset with what transpired to Snow . But I guess my worries were misplaced .

There she was, battle-ready with the black bayonet hanging around her waist . Eris heralded her appearance with her sweet voice .

[Arere, as I thought, Snow finally shows her true nature . ]

After all, she actually felt uneasy having Snow…a sacred beastkin around us .

I pointed at the hole and said .

[It’s Libra . He did something to Snow, saying that it’ll help us find Myne . It triggered Snow’s divine stigmata . ]

[So that’s what happened… I don’t like this . It’s like we are dancing on his palm . ]

[I couldn’t be more agree with you . ]

[Then there is no other choice but to follow Snow-chan down there . ]

I still don’t know whether we’ll find Myne at the end of this, but we can only forge ahead .

[Then what are we waiting for? Like usual, Fate is always like this!]

[Eh, me like usual?]

[That’s right . On this kind of occasion, men should go first . We women are weaker after all . Am I right, Roxy?]

[Ahh… I cannot refute that, Fai…

[I get it, I get it already . I’m going in first . ]

I could use fire ball magic to serve as a makes.h.i.+ft lighting .

[Wait a moment, I’ll prepare the light…uaaaaa]

As I fumbled around, Eris who couldn’t wait anymore kicked me on the b.u.t.t, pus.h.i.+ng me straight into the hole . What are you doing! This little!

Eris jumped down soon after .

[Ahahah, it feels good . Lately, it’s been Roxy all the time . It’s good to be able to vent a little . ]

[Wha!? It’s not the time and place for that!]

What a bully . Nothing less from a queen . She’s just tyrannical .

This time I managed to cast the fireball magic properly . Eris praised me, but I chose to ignore her .

But then, she hugged me tightly .

[You…what are you doing? I can’t land properly like this . ]

[Right . It’s a problem, isn’t it!]

[At this kind of timing!]

[Ah, but I’ll be just fine . After all, I have Fate to act as my cus.h.i.+on . Although I’m a bit worried . WIth all your muscles, I wonder how much shock will be absorbed . ]

I tried to release myself…but she’s serious .

Her hug was so firm I couldn’t free myself .

[Are you kidding me?]

[Ahahaha… This time I’m really serious . You’ll be just fine, because Area E . ]

[Don’t wanna! Besides, I’ll still feel the shock . ]

[If you faint, I’ll make sure to take care of you!]

Domineering! No matter what I said, it doesn’t matter .

Unfortunately, I really ended up acting as a cus.h.i.+on for Eris .

I actually fainted for a while there . The shock was actually considerably harsh . So I let myself lay on the cold ground for a while .

[Whoo . You seem to be in a sorry shape there, Fate . ]

[How dare you say that . It’s you who did this…]

[This mouth dares . ]

That said, she inched her lips closer to mine .

[Wai!?]

Fortunately for her, I couldn’t move just yet, so she could do anything she liked to me .

In such a situation, a scream could be heard coming from above us .

[Kyaaaaaaaaa . ]

That was Roxy’s voice . Perhaps the hole was deeper than she expected . As I was wondering whether she’s okay, the girl landed squarely on me .

[Guhaaa!?]

[I, I, I am sorry . ]

[Ahahah, this is hilarious . ]

Eris laughed out loud, while Roxy apologized to me…

I’m anxious about my future now .

[I am really sorry . I did not know that I would land right on top of Fai . ]

[It’s fine . As long as Roxy is unhurt, I’m fine with it . ]

[Eeeeee! That is unfair . The way you treated me was way different from how you did Roxy! The difference is like heaven and earth . ]

[Put your hand on your chest and try to remember what you did first . ]

Eris actually put her hand on her chest .

Then smiled widely .

[Fate, my bad!]

[You…]

Nothing less from the tyrant queen .

It’s certainly troublesome, for both me and Roxy .
