Another: Memory of Another World

Ch. 31 Insignia inside Altar

"Maybe I should make a contract with the dream god." someone muttered loudly.

I just laughed when I heard the murmur. It is true, strength is not everything.Great power often leads one to the abyss. However, there is no normal human being who does not crave strength. It's the same as me. A feeling of admiration and fear that I once felt.

Actually I was lucky enough to not make a contract with the whimsical evil god. Although Ren often does things that only evil gods do. Let's forget him...

I have no intention of stopping or encouraging them. Let them make their own decisions. Therefore, I chose to focus on the enemy in front of me. Ah, did I tell you that the Night Watcher has unlimited mana at night? No? Yes you know it now. On its own terms, I still don't know if it's just night or darkness in general.

Long story short, we arrived at a place filled with red. The entire room was red like a living liquid. The first word that came out of our mouths was, "What is this?"

The smell of blood was so thick in the room. The bodies of various species accumulate there until they become mountains. Most have become bones, but not a few also have the remaining pieces of meat. Ranging from ferocious beasts, humans, to a large number of goblins could be found easily. It's like a dumping ground of anything. But the ancient symbols that filled the walls gave a different mysterious impression. Looking further, a certain blood-red insignia was engraved clearly at the very end of the room. Place on a stone throne occupied by an egg.

"Hyiro?"

The word seemed to wake everyone from his daydream. It was Samantha. We all looked at the girl standing in front of a naked corpse. No skin, no flesh, no internal organs, only bones covered in a sticky, viscous red liquid.

"You sure? That's Hiiro?" Arthia looked at the corpse with a complicated feeling, perhaps, her face hidden behind her helmet/mask.

"Right, the rest of this life energy is similar to Hiiro's." Samantha strives to get more information with her talent who gets an increase when using Night Watcher mode.

"Why don't I try it?" I wanted to help, but I kept him for a reason.

"Let me see it." Noril immediately activated one of his skills to identify the target. It didn't take long until he nodded and gave a positive answer to everyone. Then, everyone fell silent.

On the one hand they were greatly lost with Hiiro's departure, but on the other hand, the moment when he left them alone still imprinted on the memory. Saga and I obviously learned this fact after we had a chat long enough after dinner. And I in particular felt nothing for him.

Instead, I was interested in the egg on the stone throne. I activated [World Memory] on the egg, a moment later my eyes suddenly opened.

Red Dragon's... Legendary red dragon egg...

I've seen the same thing in the Shop System, but, this is the first time for me to see it for real. // I want it!

Without further ado, create a persona and fly it to the egg! The information ball goes into the egg with a silent water ripple effect. Then a series of information entered my head like a river.

[Elemental Damage Immunity]?! that means the biggest weakness of the element of es is being taken for granted? Added with the notoriously loud [Dragon Scale], isn't he like an invincible?

Honestly, I don't know if the dragon is very lucky or if I'm the lucky one. I couldn't help but smile on my face, fortunately it was covered by the daft punk helmet I was wearing.

I don't know why he put it in this place, or what the effect of absorbing the negative energy itself is. For sure it will be a disaster in the future. I hope that doesn't happen. I'm a little curious about this monster.

Dragons are legendary magical creatures. They once ruled this world with other races of giants. No one knows why, but this diera, finding the whereabouts of dragons tends to be difficult. One place guaranteed to meet a dragon is the towering mountain chain that winds through the north, where the giants are asleep, Vritayama.

Right, it's the same name as the immortal dragon Indra killed. Honestly, this makes me a little confused.

Let's forget about that, and focus on the problem here.

"Are you willing to do it, Tahlia?" Ask Arthur in a serious tone.

The girl being questioned was only silent a thousand languages. Not only him, everyone was silent as well, with no one giving encouragement or prohibition. It was as if everyone had agreed to the same one answer. Hiiro's fate has ended up here.

"All right then. Next let's leave this place, and come back after defeating that monster."

Again, everyone nodded loudly. Not that they want to leave valuables just like that, but they do not have a bag to carry them. Unlike fantasy novels or rpg games, we don't have any storage-type magic items. In fact, I myself doubt whether these royal witches know of the existence of space and time magic. I myself have no storage skills other than those given by Ren through his system.

Therefore, I will take it! Ahahahaha! Ah, sorry, I'm a little overdone.

"You said something Anatares?"

"No, ahem, nothing."

"Sus."

Somehow Samantha suddenly became sensitive, while for Percival, I wasn't too surprised.

We passed through one hallway to reach a room full of goblins. I slaughtered everything with Firestorm and then we walked through one of the other hallways. And arrive at the last Boss room.

"[Firestorm]." I said with a flat and calm tone that could make someone sleep.

A huge fire churned at the end of my hand for a moment before spreading throughout the room, turning everything into charcoal. Then the fire split right in the middle, paving the way for us. Revealing a red Orge sitting on a stone throne.

"You again. How long are you gonna bother me?" The Orge said with annoyance.

His reaction was slightly different from the usual jolly one. This time he looked much more serious and alert.

"We're going to end it all today, right now."

"Try if you can." The Orge stood up, with a large axe in hand, then walked towards us slowly.

"[Insignia of Iron and Blood]"
