Hunter of the Perished World

Evidence was weak. That's all there was to the legendary impression, the old sign, and the evidence. But it was a legend few even knew about. You also have to pay close attention to the other party.

“But…. Unbelievable.... It's work….”

Then she took her eyes off Jean and looked at Leona and Ramfil.

I couldn't feel anything from Ramfil.

“! ”

However, he gazed at Leona and was forced to tear his eyes wide open.

He awakened his sympathy. And a replacement with a much stronger sense of sympathy than an ordinary priest. So, I could tell a little bit.

“Yi, Yi... How could this happen? ”

From a little girl of small stature, he felt a trajectory of enormous power he had never seen before. And the trajectory of that power was like a vast universe that he could not even fathom.

Gene tells Leona as if she knew the reaction.

“Show me that. ”

“Huh? That? Ah!”

Leona opens her bag, and the flares rise out of the bag and fly through the sky as if they were just waiting for it.

It's time we put up with a little noise. This place is inside the Twilight Tower anyway, so there are no civilians to bother.

“Fe, Fairy? ”

Beep, beep!

Seeing the sudden flares flaring around Leona, he was even more frightened. In the successive shock, the fallopian tube was about to stop his heart.

Gene took the matter out, whether it was that or not.

“Take me to Oracle. ”

Looks like we've earned enough.

Whether the apostle of Dusk is real or not, Leona has to lead the group to Oracle. The flares did not fall away from the little girl, but it was a strange and mysterious sight for the synagogues and guardians inside the Twilight Bridge.

The image of a little girl dealing with power that was not given to a confused priest or a priest, gave a modest shock.

The chancellor leads the way as if to lead Oracle, and there is a big problem there.

“What the hell? ”

The tree surrounding the dusk tower was wrapped around the building like a snake. When you look from a distance, it is just a tree, but when you look closely, there is a small piece of wood on it.

“Stairs.”

A thick tree trunk was carved with stairs to climb. Leona looks up and mutters with a frown. Luckily, the railing was built so that the rope wouldn't fall to death, but it was hard and frustrating to imagine climbing those steps.

“Going up this? ”

“Yes."

There are no elevators here because we don't use chips. This enormous vine was sort of converted into a circular staircase that used human hands to surround the entire building.

The Grand Duchess leads the way, and Jean's group follows. The calves of the middle-aged palanquin, which were passing through the ground, could only be expressed as being truly strong. I wouldn't have climbed a wooden staircase outside this perimeter for a day or two. Instead, he asked as he went up.

“If you're the Apostle of twilight, I'll ask you one question. ”

He still hasn't fully trusted Gin, and he's wondering if it's the right thing to do to take Jean's group to Oracle.

To do that, I wanted to ask you a question. Jindo nods, considering the reasonable doubt.

“Ask.”

“Do you know what it takes to be a successor? ”

“There are many conditions, but the minimum requirement is to be able to determine the psychosensitivity of others. ”

“You know very well. So do you know how old the undersecretary is? ”

“Officially, if you're old enough to be incapable of communicating, you're retired. ”

He nods slowly. Gene adds to that.

“Unofficially, the day you can't climb these stairs is the day you retire. ”

He laughed as he climbed the stairs.

“You must be the apostle of twilight. As long as you know the most important secret of the cult. ”

Of course, it was a wooden dog, but it was also an unknown piece of information if not a surrogate.

If you are old enough to see Oracle no longer, that is the day the chancellor lays down all his work. No matter how sympathetic a flying machine may be, it will be of no use to you if you cannot go to Oracle for instruction or to report.

Instead, she climbs the stairs as if she were still standing, and Leona follows the camp steadily, with a stunning view overlooking the outside.

“Want me to carry you?”

Even if Ramfil says so, Leona shakes her head.

“It's okay! I can go alone. ”

I always answer vigorously, but somehow I feel uneasy.

The building naturally burst open, so it was a simple structure to climb a ladder made of pruned vines and enter the window of the desired staircase. The massive building, which spanned fifty floors, contained all the necessary facilities for the dusk bridges, such as the Shrine Sanctuary and the Guardian Sanctuary.

Fortunately, Oracle has no hobby at the top.

At a height of twenty-five floors, Leona entered the corresponding floor and sat down as if collapsed.

“Damn…. It's hard..."

“Good work.”

The guards guarding the floors say nothing because the child who suddenly appeared blasphemed, but the chancellor stepped forward without saying anything.

Instead, the chancellor moves on to see Oracle first, and Jean's group waits outside.

The entire section was used by Oracle, and the vines were well guarded and placed in all sorts of places, rather than being cluttered like the rest of the Twilight Tower.

“It feels like a satellite. ”

It felt similar to the magical devices I saw on the satellite.

“It's actually quite magical. ”

The sacred statues of the Twilight Bridge were also of magical value, just as magical ornaments had a certain batch of effects. But it was hard to see them as professional shamans. The two who were not familiar with the difference between religion and shamanism turned their heads to Jean's words.

“Are these people shamans, too? ”

It was Leona screaming for trouble, but fortunately, the Guardians were far away and could not hear her.

“I'm not a shaman. It's just... I'm doing the necessary level of magic. ”

The early Oracle Sulin was completely blinded by magic. Gene, due to their essential use of the sacred objects, informed Sulin of some degree of magic. Although he taught only harmless kinds of things, the Twilight Bridge naturally accepted shamans as they grew up, and was able to combine them with the power of the shamans to discover the Twilight Bridge's own spells.

Of course, they call it a "miracle," not a spell, but there is only a difference in how they perform it.

Soon, the new Chancellor approaches the group in a hurry.

No, I ran with Oracle, to be precise.

“I, really! Are you really the apostle of twilight? ”

Oracle, who had a face full of reminders, literally ran out into the open.

And the group that saw Oracle rush in, their faces stiffened.

“ ……. ”

“…… what? ”

Only Leona could barely open her mouth.

“Hah... Hah..."

Although he was breathless as he rushed in, what was clearly in front of Leona was not unusual even dressed as Oracle, the leader of the Twilight Cult.

However, Jean blurted out in a nonsense.

“By the way... Looks like there were no age restrictions for Oracle in the Twilight Cult doctrine. ”

Oracle, leader of the Twilight Brigade. To be exaggerated, he was the ruler of this vast forest, a little boy at best to see as Leona and her age, or her younger brother.

Oracle's Throne Room,

In the sacred space, where sacred stones and signs and giant tapestries were hung, cut down wood and refined metal, a group of losers stood in front of Oracle on a high platform.

Two escorts stand by Oracle's side, armed with assault rifles, unlike most of them. In fact, most of the guards on the 25th floor had firearms on their bodies. As opposed to the guards and other guards armed with spears and swords.

Oracle's protection was just as important to them as it was to them.

Leona could not take her eyes off the tapestry for the first time. With Sulin leading the way and discovering the Twilight Tower, the tapestry has created a landscape as magnificent as its massive size.

Oracle smiles at Leona like that.

“Do you like tapestries? ”

“Oh, yeah? What am I supposed to say? ”

“Whatever makes you feel comfortable. ”

Oracle has a gentle and gentle tone that cannot be seen as a child. Leona lets go when Oracle says so.

“Yes, I like it. Is that a tapestry? ”

“Yes.”

The Guardian and the Grand Duchess did not hide their shivering expressions, but Oracle, of course, was like the law itself to the Christians.

Oracle gets up and approaches the largest and grandest tapestry and carefully strokes down the fabric.

“Glory." ”

The tapestry that had seen progress was significantly different compared to other works. Thanks to the large scale, Sulin and his followers have been described in detail. Oracle gestures at the Guardian and the Grand Duchess.

It was a gesture to ask for a moment.

“Ha, but…. ”

“It's all right. It's all right. ”

Oracle was clearly giving Gene an endless amount of favors that he had never seen before. Eventually, they had to leave the throne room, and Oracle pointed to the man with the black back on the edge of the tapestry.

“Can you see here? ”

“Oh, yeah... I see it.”

“This is the apostle of twilight. ”

The back of the black coat occupies exactly one part of the tapestry. However, if it did not check properly, it also looked like it was just shading.

But it is obvious that it is a human figure. And it certainly looks like Gin from the back. Oracle stroked the tapestry and said in a pitiful voice.

“Almost a hundred years from now. ”

“Amazing.... ”

Leona knows Gene has lived a long life. However, it was yet another strange sensation to clearly see Gene stuffed in one moment in the past.

A person who is precisely part of history. And now the one next to me.

Leona suddenly grabs the fingertips of Gin next to her carefully. Suddenly, I acted without knowing why I did it.

Gene is a little surprised, but he doesn't put his hands on Leona. Leona is surprised, but doesn't let go of her hand.

The anxiety that comes from that hand has been conveyed to Jin, even if he doesn't have the ability to communicate.

A non-human being living in history.

The thought that she might be just passing by was disturbing to Leona. Oracle goes back to his seat as if he were telling such a story to relax for a moment.

The hall he was wearing, the hall in his hand, the chair.

Everything was so big that it didn't suit the young Oracle. But Oracle's attitude was clearly that of the Church. He bows his head to Gin.

“Greetings, Lion of Dusk. I am the seventh Oracle." It's an infinite honor to meet you. ”

“I'll ask the old man. ”

Before Gene says hello, he looks at the young Oracle as if he has something to check out.

“Do you know everything about the Twilight Cult? ”

It was blasphemous to finally ask an outsider, the leader of the Twilight Bridge, even if he was referred to as the apostle of twilight. However, he smiled softly.

If you don't know, you'll be angry. It is clear that they will not tolerate insulting the Twilight Cult.

If you know.

“Yes.”

He will say so boldly.

“All right, that should help. ”

Gene smiles as if young Oracle were pleased.
