The light extending from the sword blade gradually transformed into a door-like shape.
The speed at which the door formed was exactly proportional to the infusion of shadow energy.
Sandra trembled with excitement, believing it was the power of her desires, while Hedo stared in bewilderment at his sword and the door.
"...Is it true that Bale is related to the old Runcandel or Solderet, as the Black Dragon Murakan once said?"
The word "Bale" was engraved on Hedo's sword blade, which he had obtained by chance long ago.
"You... where did you get that sword?"
"You're asking a strange question, Black Dragon. From those who have experienced your battle prowess in the Gaifa Islands before, I've heard it wasn't exactly like that."
"Keep that sword safe. It seems to be related to this Murakan. Come on, kid."
When the group first encountered Hedo at the White Tower, Murakan suffered a brief headache upon seeing Hedo's sword, as if a forgotten memory had resurfaced.
Even after escaping the Sota Desert, Murakan continued trying to recall memories related to the sword but failed every time.
Due to this, the group assumed Hedo's sword was also an object whose history had been manipulated. But, of course, no one could have imagined that Bale would intertwine with Temar's tomb in this way.
"I don't know the reason. You used a great deal of shadow energy when you fought me in the past, and there was no reaction at that time."
"Probably because the positional condition of Temar's tomb wasn't met. It seems the sword is the key to opening the tomb. Where did you get that sword?"
"I obtained it by defeating a monster in the Black Sea when I was younger."
"I'd like to hear more details about that later. Anyway, thanks to your sword, we have hope, Tower Guardian. Thank you."
Coincidence, it was almost pure coincidence that Jin brought Hedo to the Kaldran snowfield this time. However, Jin thought that if his sword had a story about Runcandel, it might not be a coincidence but fate.
"Twelfth Flagbearer. When the portal is complete, do you intend to enter it?"
"Yes."
"I will enter too!"
"No, my lady."
"You cannot go, Sandra."
Both Jin and Hedo spoke at the same time.
"Why not?"
"We don't know what might happen inside. If the Histor survivor is alive, she might have entered and never come out."
"I agree. This is a different matter from when we arrived at the Kaldran snowfield. If this door leads to Temar's tomb, we can't predict what will happen inside. It could mean that escaping is impossible."
"What about you, Jin? You are Rosa's only opponent. What if you enter alone and die?"
"Temar's Tomb is a tribute that my god and ancestors left for Runcandel. I have wandered these tombs and never been in danger. Also, I've always been able to escape through the shadow energy when I wanted."
Of course, this was a lie.
Jin had almost died at the hands of guardians in most of the tombs, and in the fourth, he didn't know how to get out and had to wait endlessly with Valeria.
However, since Euria wasn't here now, Sandra had no way of confirming the truth. Even if it was confirmed, Jin planned to enter alone.
"We can't wait here during that time. We don't know how long it will take or what the situation will be, so we have to think about what to do, my lady, the demon dragon, and I."
"Based on my experience so far, I might return to the human world in one or two days."
"We can't wait here that long."
"I know, so please return. As long as Rosa doesn't come in person, I can escape in any situation."
"I won't leave you alone!"
"Sandra, please."
"Valeria!"
Even when Jin shouted Valeria's name, there was no echo.
Jin didn't have the same feeling of comfort he had in the other tombs, and he wondered if it was due to anxiety or something else.
Unlike the tombs I've passed through in the past, I don't feel the shadow energy guiding me.
There are no traces of damage caused by Zipple or other forces.
Is there another reason?
He had no choice but to explore the tomb by himself.
[Nyaah!]
Shuri emerged from the ruby, and Jin immediately began searching the vast desert of the subspace on Shuri's back.
The flow of time in the subspace was different from the human world. Jin had experienced time flowing much faster in the human world.
Where are you, Valeria...?
After an hour of searching with no progress, Jin started to feel uneasy.
Then, Shuri stopped walking and pointed with her front paw.
[Nya, nyaah!]
There was something transparent shining like crystal, emitting a faint light that was about to fade.
Jin recognized it as a mana fragment taking the form of a window.
It was a fragment of "Record Magic."
The Record Magic not only served to find past records but also to leave marks like this one.
Either it's very old, or it was left in a state where there was almost no mana left, given how faint the trace is.
Above all, the fact that the magic remained meant that the caster was still alive.
Only then could Jin breathe deeply for the first time.
She's not dead...
Definitely, my master is still in this subspace.
Jin's heart filled with the conviction that he could save her.
However, as he followed the direction indicated by Valeria's mana fragment, he felt an unpleasant energy approaching instead of Valeria's magic.
It was pure and enormous chaos energy, qualitatively incomparable to what he had felt in the Kaldran snowfield.
As he approached the source of the chaos, the subspace not only displayed desolate darkness but also battle traces.
There were cracks and distortions all over the space, as if caused by destructive sword strikes.
Finally, Jin found himself face to face with a woman who wasn't Valeria.
[It's been a while... my younger brother.]
It was Luntia Runcandel, his second elder sister.
