CHAPTER 120: SUPREME GOD TESSRETIA

“*Cough*!”

 

 

　I continued walking for about two hours, killing several black slimes.
I don’t know exactly how far I’ve gotten, but I think I’m already halfway through the mountain.

 

 

“I don’t know if it’s accurate, but I think I’ve already reached the middle of the mountain.”

 

 

　Even if I went back now, it would take me two hours to get back to the top, and then several hours to go down.
They said there was a village near the other side of the mountain, but it would be difficult to reach it while there was still daylight.
I had to consider camping somewhere in the passage for safety.

 

　I wondered what the purpose of this passage was.
I don’t understand what the point is in building an entrance at the top of the mountain and just heading down.
If they were thinking of convenience, they would have dug a side hole from the foot of the mountain.

 

 

“Maybe this path is an emergency exit.”

　That made more sense to me.
If that’s the case, there might have been another entrance somewhere at the foot of the mountain that I hadn’t noticed.

 

 

“Hmm?”

 

 

　As I walked down the stairs and along the passage, a wall appeared in front of me.
It was a dead end.

 

　But [Magi Location] showed me that there was a space reacting beyond the wall.

 

 

“[Purification]”

 

 

　For now, I purify the area around the dead-end wall so that I can see the original wall.

 

　When I looked at the wall while white grains were falling down, purified by the shining aura, I saw that the middle part of the wall was recessed into a rectangle that was probably a door, and there was a U-shaped handle at the back.

　Would I be able to move this handle?

 

　I grabbed the handle and tried to put some pressure on it, but then I remembered about [Magi Location], and after making sure that there were no enemies at the maximum range, I tried to push the handle.
But it didn’t budge.
Now I tried to slide it to the left.
It didn’t work either.
Then I put all my weight on it and pulled to slide it to the right, and the door started to move little by little with a sound like stones scraping.

 

 

“Woah!”

 

 

　When I passed through the door, I found myself in a large room, about three meters to the ceiling and about twenty meters deep.

 

　The walls were black and dirty, and there were things rising up from the ground.
A dark-colored crystal shining due to [Light Source] shining above my head.

 

 

“……I wonder if it’s.”

 

 

　I move closer to the crystals growing near the nearby wall and observe them.

　The color is black and translucent.
You can find a lot of different types of crystals.
The shape is long and thin and looks like a crystal.

 

　I took out the black magic stone left behind by the black slime, the Dark Magic Crystal, and compared it to it.

 

 

“They are similar but still different.”

 

 

　I don’t think it’s a Dark Magic Crystal.
The black crystal has some striations in it and the color is shadowy and inconsistent.
Besides, I feel that the Dark Magic Crystal is darker in color.

 

　Hmm… I’m not sure, but I should collect a little of them.

 

　I took out my knife smashed it with the handle and put it in my magic bag.
I might be able to use it for something someday.

 

 

　Next, I’m going to check out the thing that was blocking this room and the passage.

　The shape of the object was obscured by black dirt, but there was a lump of something about two meters tall.

 

 

“[Purification]”

 

 

　A few white grains fell, and what came out was a stone statue of a woman in a robe.
She was wearing a loose-fitting robe, a finely decorated wand, and a soft smile.

 

 

“Ah… I might have seen her somewhere.”

 

 

　Where did I see her? Hmmm… oh, a church perhaps? I think I saw a similar stone statue in the back of the church, in the most prominent place.
Let’s see… I believe the name is–

 

 

 

“Ah… the supreme god Tessretia.” [T/N: The name the author used is テスレイティア or Tesureitia.
So, I just changed it a bit since I can’t find a similar western name.
If anyone finds a better sounding name, I’ll be happy to know about it.]
