"Ordinary pioneering missions can be resolved with mercenaries. If Holy Dragon Knights are involved, it must be a top-secret mission of the Holy Church... I suspect it might be related to the 'Divine Fragment.'"
"Mm-hmm. It seems the passage that this mutated serpent came from should lead to the 'Death Domain'. Its Divine Fragment must have also come from some place."

Leonard Churchill and Sophia Jones stared at the decaying armor inside the serpent, leading them to many thoughts.
They had originally planned to explore along the cave a bit.
But now, they immediately discarded the idea.
According to Leonard Churchill's speculation about the "Death Domain" area, even if all went smoothly, it would be at least half a month's journey from Blackwater Swamp.
Looking at it now, this cave might be a shortcut.
However, the situation inside the cave is unclear, and the likelihood of encountering danger while exploring is very high.
