Glory Hunt's

The Ancient Temple's

The next day, Celine and her two best friends had gone to the forest, leaving Zent alone in the room, still not awake.

However, in the subconscious, he and Z did not rest at all, still shaken by what had just happened a few hours ago.

They both don't know how to accept a confession from someone.

Not because they've never been together before, but because they're both aware that they still have a wound that may never be healed.

They certainly can't accept someone's feelings when they're still unsure of their own feelings and they don't want Celine to be just a drug, nothing more.

Therefore, Z invites Zent to talk about the wounds in the heart that Z does not know. Although the two of them were basically the same person, whether caused by what, Z could not figure out the reason Zent's heart was injured.

When asked, Zent only fell silent, unable to answer while recalling memories that were like a nightmare.

If he could turn back time, Zent wanted to change everything, but he knew it was impossible.

This is the path he chose and which he must take responsibility for.

But.. It's too heavy.

"I wouldn't understand if you hadn't told me. Even though we are the same person, there are some things where only you understand, one of which is now. So tell me, what's up?" Pinta.

However, of course, Zent did not answer him, only fell silent in place and then revealed an empty smile that he had used too often.

Z gave up, let out a long sigh and walked towards the gigantic altar to calm himself there. Even though he did not need sleep, he still needed rest.

Zent watched the other figure walk away, heaving a heavy sigh, unconsciously clenching both hands tightly which he then released while saying "You are still the same person"

Zent stood up, shuffled his hair in frustration, then sat back down on the grass, confused by the now turbulent feeling in his heart. He did not know whether to be happy or burdened with the recognition of the knight.

He did not want to choose the wrong choice and make Celine's heart hurt, especially because Celine was a figure who always put a thick wall around his heart.

Something like this happens very rarely, maybe never before.

And Celine also wanted him to open his heart.

Zent laughed bitterly.

"I? Open heart?" He harrumphed amusedly, staring at the grass under "My soul that you see, is not my real self.

You don't know me at all, not even half of me knows a person I hate so much, a person who has long been a thorn in the flesh. You just like my persona, Celine. That's why I don't deserve to be with you who dare to face my own feelings rather than me who keeps running away"

Zent closed his eyes, sighed once more and smashed into the grass on the side with his right hand "Still the same person Zent, you still haven't changed. Just someone pretending to be your glove..

Fakers. Ironic"

.

.

Far away from the city, in the interior of the forest, they found a large cave that did not look natural, but seemed to be created by something.

The mouth of the cave is triangular with a flat top. Wild plants appear to grow across the white stone wall, indicating this building has long been here.

Why is there never any information about it?

The three of them looked at each other, doubtful whether they should enter or return to the city.

However, imagining the young lady who had put forth energy to prepare a feast, something she had not done since the death of the mother, the knights nodded and stepped into the dark cave.

They used fire magic as lighting, creating flames hovering on their right side.

Inside the artificial cave, they were fascinated by the carvings that seemed not made using hands but machines.

It looks like the patterns of boxes that are joined together as if all parts of this artificial cave are created from a collection of white stone boxes that after further attention, most likely it is like that.

However, there is no record at all of this place or of a civilization that uses white stone boxes that look slippery and not slippery at the same time, shiny reflecting warm light from the fire.

Rayven was shocked as he laced and felt the texture.

These white boxes were not stones, but something they had never seen or heard of "Could we find a civilization that was lost accidentally?" He asked curiously, trying to find signs that might store information about this place.

They even just walked straight ahead without any bending at all, as if this artificial cave was a tunnel and not a cave.

They went deeper and deeper, trying to ignore the cold moist air that made them shiver as if they were entering a room full of ice.

Celine uses her magic to create a transparent blue dome, protecting them from anything that might come crashing down while keeping the body warm. They've come this far, wasting their time only if they're back in town.

Before long, they arrived at a large room so spacious and tall with six large pillars on the left-right that it made them the size of a small insect.

They did not believe that they would find something like this, something that could not be a human creation, too impossible despite using magic and such. Only the Angels or Demons could do this, but they were sure that neither race had ever seen the materials used.

When he arrived in the middle of the room, a voice sounded, like a broken branch.

They became alert, checking around to find anything that might make the sound, but found nothing.

Just as Celine looked up, shouted "Dodge!" Only then did they realize they had entered the nest of a giant spider that was now jumping from the ceiling and landing in front of them, causing a thick cloud of dust, blocking the view.

Know-how, an attack hit the dome where Celine, making her grimace sick.

He looked to the left, looking for where the attack came from, unable to find the location of the giant spider that was hiding.

Rayven shot several arrows upwards.

At the base of the arrow, there is a mana extending from the right palm of the knight. Rayven uses it to search for a giant spider, catches it and binds the creature in the middle of the room "I got it! Rio!"

"I know!" Rio who then ran over.

He leaped up high while turning his body to gain momentum and smashed his huge hammer on the spider's body which was now thrown into one of the pillars violently, making the entire building shake strongly.

Some of the white cubes fall from the top in different sizes. Fortunately the dome where Celine still survives, otherwise Celine and Rayven would have been injured.

Rio who was outside, ran away from each white box with a whistling sound as if the object weighed thousands of tons.

Both of his eyes widened hearing that.

While trying to suppress the fear that was slowly forming, he rushed back into the dome no matter the large spider that was now neighing in pain.

"Our strength will not be enough to penetrate the thick skin of the spider! We must find another way" Tukas Rayven while watching the situation around, just in case there are still enemies hiding.

Celine thought for a moment, looked at the white cubes that were now scattered, then looked up "We can use those white cubes to hurt him!"

"And trap us in the process? No thank you" Reply Rio with a high tone because hearing the ringing of spiders now turned into a creepy roar, a sign he was angry and would not play around with them again.

"You got any other ideas?" Rayven exclaimed at the words of his best friend.

The spider jumped.

Celine without a doubt, hit the strong plains where they stood with the right hand that had been raised by the huge amount of mana to create a huge blue energy wave.

The spider bounced to the end of the room while making the room vibrate strongly like an earthquake, dropping white cubes that managed to hit the giant spider and now dead buried.

Now, the problem is how they got out of here.

The only way out is closed and there is no other way.

"We're going to die!" Jerit Rio.

"There! I saw something!" Rayven's shout tried to defeat the thunderous sound of the heavy white cubes still falling, pointing forward, where a greenish light was located.

They ran there following Celine as only she was able to make this mana dome.

After dodging and jumping over the heap that made the giant spider die, they came to a dead end with a wall that seemed to emit a dim greenish light.

They were trapped there, no longer knowing what to do and when Celine looked up, a large white box fell towards them.

"Zent.. "

He said before the dome where disappeared behind the pile.
