Chapter 1194: Alive

Aelua, who always marched ahead, immediately stepped back and went closer to Rean. She could still remember very well how her body turned out because of that energy.

Rean then used his Divine Soul Power to form an energy barrier to keep that energy outside. Surprisingly, it proved to be a lot more complicated than he thought. “This thing is quite strong. I need to use a lot more of my energy to keep it away from us.”

Aelua noticed that she couldn’t feel that energy anymore and sighed in relief. “If benefactor thinks it’s too hard to force forward, we can head back up.”Dive into Stories, Embrace Enchantment: N♡vεlB¡n.

Aien agreed with Aelua. “Indeed. We don’t want anything to happen to you after what you’ve done for us.”

Rean shook his head in response, though. “Oh, don’t worry. I need more energy to keep it in check, but it’s nothing I can’t deal with. If things become worse, I can still use Divine Stones to replenish my power.” Rean then looked at Aelua and reminded her, “Stay close to me while you guide us further.” Aelua nodded and began to walk again. Naturally, Aien and Rean followed her.

Sure enough, the concentration of that energy began to increase the further they went down to the cave labyrinth. Rean also increased the amount of Divine Soul Power he poured into the barrier.

Two divisions, three divisions, four divisions, fifteen divisions, fifty divisions...following the markers left behind by Aelua previously, their path was quite smooth if one didn’t think about the increase in foreign energy in the area. It was just as Aelua mentioned. Their group didn’t find a single creature mentioned in the village stories.

“Well, it’s not that it was a lie, but that they might have left or died already,” Rean suggested.

Aien sighed in response. “That might really be the case. In any case, it doesn’t matter. The fewer the number of problems, the better.” Aien then asked, “How good is this place? Is it enough to place the formation to gather the Divine Energy? It’s not like we need to go all the way to the crystal.”

[Oh! I thought this could be the case. But even so, I didn’t expect that it was truly this thing.] Sister Orb seemed quite impressed when they saw the crystal. She seemed to know what that crystal was.

‘Since you already recognize it, how about telling me?’ Naturally, Rean wanted an answer.

[It’s called a Convergence Crystal. There are a few places in the Realm of Gods that just so happen to be in the perfect spot where all elements converge. They aren’t particularly rare when you think of the Realm of Gods as a whole. You can find one in every hundred continents or so. Of course, if you consider one continent alone, then it’s very rare.]

Rean nodded after that. ‘Alright. So, is there any use for this thing?’

Sister Orb then replied, [To be honest, you shouldn’t touch it.]

‘Why?’

[Because that crystal is nothing more than an incubator. The real dangerous thing is what’s growing inside.]

Rean was taken aback. ‘You’re telling me this crystal is alive? It’s an egg?’

[Pretty much. I have to say, Huring Continent will suffer quite a lot when the thing inside breaks out.]

‘Is it some kind of Divine Demon Beast like Kentucky and Celis?’

[No. The thing growing inside is called a Flash Beast.]
