When Joan's flas stopped, that was when we headed into the ruins.
Before leaving, all of the wyverns looked at us with worried looks as if they were telling us to co back as soon as possible.
Even the other wyverns had the sa look that Joan gave .
It really went to show just how close everyone had gotten to their wyverns during this ti.
It also went to show how much humans and wyverns had gone through that such a deep relationship was developed between them. It really went to show that there was the possibility of creating a society for both humans and wyverns in the future.
Though that was certainly possible as long as Joan was with .
Once we stepped into the ruins, there were torches that were brought out.
Even though this place had traces of sunlight coming through the holes that were in these ruins, it was far from being enough to light this place up.
So we had to bring out torches to see where we were going.
With these torches, we were able to make out the surroundings, but there wasn't much to see.
At the very least, it didn't seem like there was a trace of corruption energy in this place. At the very least, Joan's breath had worked and seed to clear out the corruption energy in this area.
But it was hard to tell what was deeper in.
From the outside, one couldn't tell that this place actually occupied quite the deep area under the ground. It seed that it spread out in all directions, which made it a very vast set of ruins.
There were also many different ways down as seen by all the stairs that were around us.
With how many different ways down there were, it was clear that this place should be quite the labyrinth.
That ant that this place was by no ans easy to navigate.
So to find the Relic of Destruction…
But before that, it was important to figure sothing else out.
The corruption energy that we saw earlier coming from the entrance of the ruins wasn't fake. It was sothing that definitely couldn't be faked no matter how hard one tried.
Since that was the case, then that ant that there should be a source of this corruption energy. And the only source of corruption energy that could be in a place like this was naturally the Relic of Destruction.
That ant that logically speaking, we shouldn't have gotten rid of all that corruption energy by the entrance.
If that corruption energy was still there, perhaps we could have followed it to the source.
Perhaps we could have followed it to the Relic of Destruction.
"It seems that acting in haste does backfire sotis." I couldn't help whispering to myself after realizing the situation.
Only it was too late to have regrets.
What was done was done, so the only thing left was to figure out how to find the Relic of Disaster.
Seeing that I wasn't saying anything as we looked around the area, the pope of the Solista Religion couldn't help asking, "Should we split up and look for the Relic of Destruction? I don't think that we'll be able to find much if we all remain together."
I quickly shook my head before saying, "There's no telling what dangers are lurking in this place, so we should remain together for now. Once we see what the situation deeper down is, then perhaps we can split up."
It was also at this mont that flas ca from outside of the ruins.
The others panicked, but I didn't show a single trace of panic seeing these flas. Rather, there was even a bit of a bitter smile that appeared on my face when I saw these flas.
I didn't do anything as I let the flas sweep past .
Standing in these flas, I could even see how they just didn't touch at all. When the flas flowed past , it was as if they were completely evading my body with the way that they just went right past .
These were sacred flas, they were not normal wyvern flas.
They contained the divine energy of the gods, so the things that they could do couldn't be understood by humans.
Including how they would go past everything that wasn't related to the corruption energy.
The problem was that since these flas filled with divine energy completely purified the corruption energy, that ant that it erased all trails for us to follow. With the flas coming at this regular pace, it really didn't seem like the corruption energy would be able to restore itself to the point where we would be able to follow it.
That was unless we approached the source of the corruption energy where the corruption energy would beco stronger.
It really was a miscalculation on my part…
So with this bitter smile, I moved towards one of the sets of stairs.
The two popes noticed this and quickly went in front of as if they were leading the way, but really they were just making sure that I was safe with the holy knights and the priests.
When we ca to this set of stairs, they looked at as if they were confirming if this was the one.
I gave a nod without hesitation before moving forward towards it.
Since I moved forward, that ant that the rest of them also moved forward.
Though it seed like they didn't understand why I chose this set of stairs.
As for the reason, I was most likely the only one that saw the phenonon with Joan's flas.
When her flas appeared around us, they naturally flowed down the sets of stairs as well. But the way that they flowed down the sets of stairs was different from the way that it should have flowed down.
Rather, it seed that more of the flas were gathered around the one that was in front of us.
