"Well, that wasn't easy, but it looks like we don't have to worry about them being deadly." Wain muttered as he stared at the chained monsters while sitting on one of them with a careless look.
The monsters tried to free themselves, but the ice or chains were too strong as so monsters were unconscious due to Wain's powerful blows.
"What do we do next?" Frigus asked as he looked at the arches, "Maybe we should destroy them? Apparently, they're affecting the fact that Misty Ruins are gradually expanding."
"No, that's out of the question." Wain pronounced in a serious voice, "It's not clear yet if this area is hostile or not. Only when we know for sure will we decide what to do about the arches and the ruins, for now, let them continue to grow."
"Sure, as you say." Frigus uttered with a slight nod.
"Shall we go on?" Zero asked as he pointed forward.
"Yeah... We shouldn't touch any more arches or ruins, apparently these monsters won't pay attention to us if we don't." Wain said before heading forward.
...
They walked forward through the fog, among the ruins, when Zero yawned and muttered, "Eh... We've been walking forward for almost an hour! I thought it would be fun, but there's absolutely nothing going on!"
"Well, it's not supposed to be fun. Maybe there were no battles, but we confird our guesses. Those arches that we encountered also created fog and crystals, so arches are the main catalyst for the developnt of this area." Wain said in a serious voice, "Zero, don't be like Sarras, be patient."
"What?! and that stupid skeleton?! We are absolutely nothing alike!" Zero exclaid with a rejected look.
"I disagree." Frigus shook his head, "Maybe you should be friends. You'd make great friends, you know?"
Zero frowned, clenched her hand into a fist, and opened her mouth as she was about to say sothing, but suddenly another wave of energy passed beneath them, then so glint appeared in the distance.
"What is that...?" Wain muttered with a confused look.
Whoooooooosh.
A projectile flew toward Zero as her pupils narrowed, and she created a barrier of darkness in front of her. The projectile bounced to the side as it slamd into the ground nearby.
"What the fuck...!" Zero exclaid in a dazed manner as she stared at the projectile.
It was a long, gray crystal from which streams of energy emanated. A mist rushed toward the crystal that, along with the energy, began to turn into sothing.
"We must destroy it!" Zero exclaid as she rushed forward, but suddenly Wain put a hand on her shoulder.
"What? Why did you stop !" Zero shouted while in confusion.
"Wait." Wain said with a calm look, "Let's see what happens next. We ca here to figure out the problem with this area, not to destroy everything here, right?"
Zero frowned, whiffed, and muttered, "Okay, whatever, it's your Void, after all."
Crackle.
Suddenly the crystal soared above the ground as energy with mist turned to flesh and bone. In ti, another monster appeared in front of them, just like the others.
"I see. So that's how they are born, at least, that's one way. How curious..." Frigus uttered with a calm look while rubbing his chin in a thoughtful manner.
"Hey... Don't you think you're being a little too calm?" Zero asked in an awkward manner, "I've never seen such shit as this."
"Huh, let's just move on. That crystal ca from sowhere, so we need to find out exactly where." Wain waved his hand before stepping forward.
Whoooooosh.
Suddenly the monster opened its jaw wide as it lunged at Wain with powerful killing intent. At the sa ti, Frigus appeared in front of Wain with a sword drawn in advance.
"He decided to attack as soon as he appeared? Well, that's certainly not a wise decision." Frigus spoke before swinging his sword.
Out of the ground ca ice bayonets that pierced the monster's legs and arms, then the monster's body was covered by a dense layer of ice, so it was as though an insect in a cocoon.
Wain didn't even turn around as he just continued pacing forward.
'Frigus is so cool... Damn, I wish I had a monster like that! I definitely need to make my own Void!' Zero inwardly exclaid as she clenched her hand into a fist.
...
They walked a few hundred more ters into the depths of Misty Ruins and stopped as their eyes went wide.
"What the hell is that...? Zero muttered while in disbelief.
In the distance was a massive ball of flesh, eyes, and a multitude of jaws that were constantly closing as if they were ready to devour anything. The orb was huge, as tall as a tower, as in the center of it was a wide gray crystal that constantly exuded energy and thick streams of mist.
"Damn... Why did sothing so creepy appear in our Void? What does it an...?" Frigus muttered as goosebumps ran down his body.
Around the orb were massive ruins with hundreds of monsters standing beside them. They were much larger and more dangerous than the ones Wain, Frigus, and Zero had fought so far. These monsters, as though guardians, stood next to the pillars and didn't even take a step to the side.
"Well, at least we know the problem, isn't that a good thing?" Wain muttered as he waved his hand in a careless manner.
"Don't you think you're being a little too calm?" Zero uttered as a blade of darkness appeared in her hand.
"It's all right. Now that I see those jaws, I'm pretty sure this area ca from my energy that I unleashed while raising the Chronicle of Void." Wain shrugged.
"Are you serious...?" Frigus muttered while in disbelief.
"Sure. I don't know how, but from the looks of it, it can happen if powerful energy and the territory of a Void mix. In any case, we're here to solve the problem, so enough talk." Wain uttered before stepping forward.
Crackle.
At the sa ti, a huge eye appeared on the ball whose pupil narrowed.
