Chapter 118: The Prophecy of Neresa

These things existed even in developed cities.

A man sitting near the entrance stood up.

His greasy face was covered with sweat. He came towards us laughing.

To be exact, he walked towards the girl in our midst.

Hehe, what kind of rice cake is this?

The girl jumped back in surprise.

Miss, are you lost? Or did he run away? Let me show you around

The man seemed to ignore Edith in front of him and passed by.

Edith grabbed him as he passed and kicked him hard with her foot.

The man spun in the air and fell to the ground.

Thud!

Edith hit him on the back of the head with her heel. Blood gushes out with the sound of his bones breaking.

The man was shaking and writhing on the ground.

We ignored the fallen man and walked past him, entering the slum.

The moment I entered, the wind was blowing up trash and it was flying around. At the same time, an indescribable unpleasant smell wafted into the air. The girl wrinkled her nose and pinched her nose shut.

A clothesline hung between high walls.

Dirty clothes were hanging.

However, there were no residents in sight.

This would be a good place to hide. The roads are intricate like a maze, and there are many buildings.

I nodded at Edie's words.

First, I needed a place to stay until dark. Then the action occurs.

Then a message appeared.

[Hint/About long missions]

[Missions may take some time. The protagonist continues to act even after logging out]

It was a message guiding him on a long mission.

There were signs that the mission was dragging, so it seemed like the system had made a decision.

Let's take a look first.

Edith bowed her head low, as if blending into the shadow on the wall.

My appearance has become blurred. That was the effect of Edith activating the thief's exclusive ability "Stealth". Edith activated her skill and disappeared into the depths of the city.

Please stand behind me.

I walked slowly and looked around.

There were almost no people in the slum.

This is better. Soon soldiers will arrive here and a search will begin.

I glanced back.

Although the girl's expression was tense, she maintained a certain level of composure. She showed no signs of childishness or tantrums for someone her age.

Then she is no ordinary child.

If she had, she probably would have rejected the offer to follow us.

Amidst the chaos, she quickly figured out her way to survive.

After a while Edith returned and we followed her example and entered the dilapidated building.

A two-story stone building on the verge of collapse. The windows were covered with cloth nailed together. There was almost no light coming in, so it was pitch black. In addition to the front entrance, there was also a back entrance, and I noticed a conspicuous alley that looked like it could be an escape route.

Perfect.

Even if the soldiers approached, there was a way to escape.

We decided to spend some time here. Edith immediately began setting traps using thin ropes and stones. She placed a pile of stones tied with string at the entrance, with the string tied tightly over them. When someone touches the string, the stack of stones collapses, creating a noise.

It was the effect of Edie's trap setting skill.

Rogue shined best in this type of mission. Edith also acquired many skills over time.

We are enjoying our time here.

The girl sat down, leaning against the half-collapsed wall.

Her once pure white dress was now stained with mud and dust.

I picked up a dusty chair from the living room and sat on it. I put the knife sheath on my lap and looked out the window. The sky visible through the gaps in the cloth nailed together was gloomy.

I'm going out for a while.

Are you going out again?

I also have a role to play. You are more than enough to handle the guards. Find a way to escape.

Edith smiled weakly, and then she quietly disappeared.

Maybe she should have brought Jenna in instead of her.

There is nothing special to do with this setting.

I rested my chin on my hand and remained quiet. I could hear the sounds of insects outside the window. About 10 minutes passed like this.

Priasis al Laguna.

I looked at the girl.

The girl Priasis stared at me with long silver hair and golden eyes.

This is my name. I am the second heir to the imperial throne.

So?

You seem to be just as stubborn.

Priasis smiled bitterly.

But she soon regained her look of determination and continued speaking.

Where are you from?

That's a strange question.

In any case, our relationship won't last long.

I answered briefly.

You don't need to know that.

I have revealed my identity and name. Can you at least tell me that much?

Even if I tell myself, I don't understand.

Is it that complicated? Did it come from somewhere I don't know?

Leave it as is.

Are you by any chance the hero who saved Neresa?

I grimaced.

Neresa.

That was the name of the city I saved on the 10th floor.

Looks like the answer is correct.

How did you know that?

I saw it in a dream.

It's a dream.

In this dream, heroes fought to protect the city. I couldn't see your face, but I had a strong feeling it was you.

Priasis chuckled, but he quickly spoke again with a determined look on his face.

I've been having strange dreams for the past year. A very threatening dream. Everything ended in this dream. The capital of the Millennium Empire, the capital of the Four Great Houses, and other large and small cities and towns. Everything on the continent was on fire.

.

In the middle of this dream, I became convinced. If this continues, the continent will perish.

Priasis looked down.

Do you know? Strange events have been occurring across the continent lately. Unknown diseases spread, insects swarm, and monsters go berserk. Neresa's invasion must be part of that. Originally they did not invade human territory.

Priasis spoke slowly.

I replied in surprise.

Why do you say this?

Requires electricity.

Electricity?

The power to save this world.
