Chapter 143: Beta Persei

Collapsed onto the floor of the inner room belonging to the Tomb, YN sat up and dusted himself off.

YN: That's that, I guess.

Recalling everything he believed he should be able to, the echo of these voices heard in his Trial rebounded in his mind.

YN: What strange things to say...

—As well as the unfounded lore drop he was lectured on about Onis.

I really wish I could speak with Rem about it all. I feel like we both could learn and figure out a lot more if we could bounce what we know off each other.

Sighing as the thought of his beloved crossed his mind, YN forced himself to stand. On his feet, he noticed he could see his breath now from how cold the air was in here.

Gotta say... I hope that the situation outside is better...

Yet, he also noticed that in this room, he was alone now.

Emilia isn't in here... I hope that's a good sign...

Walking past the pair of busted doors to leave the room and go down the singular corridor that was the exit of the Tomb, YN was halted from pure astonishment.

YN: Huh?

In the remaining stone hall of the Tomb, all the way from these double doors to the exit, was lined with not just loads of people, but also carriages and ground dragons too.

YN: H-How..?

It didn't make any sense. How were all these people in the Tomb?

Well, they all are demi-human...

But as far as YN knew from what he'd seen, Patrasche had been rejected when she had gone to get Subaru from inside.

So how are these ground dragons in here now?

They were obviously sheltering from the cold, given their reptile nature, but for how they weren't getting lacerated, YN could only figure it was from a single conclusion: Emilia had passed her Third Trial and had already lifted the Barrier.

Maybe that would also disable the Tomb? And Echidna did say she had to deal with Emilia...

Taking his new few steps from the room, his footsteps garnered him attention from the nearby demi-humans.

Man: Oh! YN-sama!

Woman: He's out! He's awake!

Quickly, a small group of eager faces surrounded YN. Asking him a whole myriad of things, YN answered a handful of rudimentary questions before he tried to calm them all down and asked for himself just what was going on.

Just as he assumed, he was correct. Emilia passed her Third and final Trial, and lifted the Barrier encompassing the Sanctuary.

Man: —We cannot leave here though! The Great Hare has trapped us here!

Woman: Emilia-sama is trying her hardest to keep them out of here! But I fear how long she can truly hold out...

Now aware of why everyone and everything was moved inside the Tomb, YN knew it was Emilia's quick thinking to keep them out of harm's way.

YN: I need to attend to Emilia-sama right away! Please let me by!

Making a small pathway for him in the crowded Tomb, YN rushed out to where the air was much cooler, freezingly so. As he approached the exit, flashes of magic reflected brightly on the snow that was drifting into the Tomb quite deeply.
