Chapter 76: To the Lake

[So you don’t have the time to explain the situation. Got it, I’m going to go with you, too.]

[I’m also going.]

[I can’t possibly allow Rei to be put in danger.]

Declaring each of their remarks, they hopped on to the griffon’s back.

who let us on its back let out an ear-piercing ‘pyuii~i!’ cry and flew to the sky.

The griffon cut through the wind and flew at a tremendous speed. The scenery flows by very quickly and the giant lake approaches before our eyes.

It has such a size that calling it a sea won’t be refuted.

The lake that’s filled abundantly with water as much as that it would be leftover if one were to sink a whole city in it, has its opposite shore at the foot of the mountains visible from here.

Just what on earth is in here…? Dy and the others said that his younger brother was being sealed in a crystal or something, but I can’t grasp the discussion as to how it’s come to be.

I want to speak but the wind is too much so it’s impossible, and since I’m scared of interrupting the imprudent Dy, I thought of watching over the course of events for a while.

The griffon dropped its altitude once we arrived beside the lake that has some woods in some places and I desperately held onto its wings so I don’t get thrown off.

[Uwaaah!]

I was about to be sent flying by the impact when its feet touched the ground but Ragna grabbed the scruff of my neck and prevented me from getting thrown off.

[Tha, thank you.]

[Umu, Rei doesn’t need to thank me.]

By the time we’re getting off the griffon’s back, Dy was already rushing towards the lake’s depth a step ahead of us.

We also quickly went after him so we don’t get left behind.

[Hey, that’s…]

[A crystal pillar?]

Alf picks up my mutter. At the end of the rubble trail that continued across the lake, a transparent pillar sticking out from the lake was diagonally resting on the pile of rubble standing up.

The crystal pillar has white and cloudy parts in some places, and although I could tell that there was something inside of it, I couldn’t judge what it was from a distant view.

Dy ignored the gravity and flew above the water surface. We also tried to fly using our magic and wings but there’s something like a barrier that’s obstructing us so it didn’t go well.

[Does the effect of the interference magic used by the soldier before also exist here? No, since Diremolo can move, is it a different cause… Anyway, if we can’t fly then we must go there by different means.]

We had nothing to answer Ciel’s question so we helplessly decided to take a roundabout path until the rubble path.

The demon who made it before the crystal ahead of us addressed whatever is buried in it and poured his magic power in.

Could it be that Dy’s little brother is over there…? We impatiently advanced towards the large lake’s depths.
