Chapter 55: Nirvana

The territory of the Kingdom of Fiorli, located in the northern part of the city of Agalifa, is an undeveloped and barren area, but if you continue to enter it after crossing the inaccessible hills, you will step into a mysterious forest that stretches for hundreds of miles.

Waterfalls and stone walls overlap and ruins abound, and from the elevated position, the earth and the sky are clearly divided into two sides, which is extremely spectacular.

However, few people know that in the deepest part of this sea of trees, which has existed for hundreds of years, is the central area where ancient people once lived.

More than 400 years ago, one of the members of the "Nebit" tribe, who has always maintained neutrality, created a "magic" in order to stop the war that spread across the world in that era.

It's called, 'Nirvana'.

……

(…… If it's not marked on the map, this is it...... )

("Wasi Tree Sea"...... )

Sitting on a magic broomstick hovering in the sky, Zela looked at the ancient trees below, sensing the abnormal concentration of microaether in the mana factor in the area.

As long as she finds that source, she will definitely not be far from the purpose of her trip.

It's a super magic that is sealed here, and can replace "light" and "darkness".

This is one of the 'shortcuts' that Zela thought of to obtain the three 'keys'.

When it comes to 'darkness', no one is more 'pure' than her after being reborn by fusing with 'Anti-Spirit Crystal'.

However, Mebis's system is "light", and if you want to provide life force for it, of course, you can't use forces that conflict with "light".

That's why Zela came to find Nirvana.

Perhaps for others, it's just a forbidden magic that does more harm than good.

But she was different.

Good and evil are reversed, and light and darkness are reversed.

Coupled with the fact that her soul and body are very special in their own right, this magic is in some ways tailor-made for her.

(…… If you want to carry the power of the "elves", the human body can't do it at that time, but if it's a star spirit...... )

When I remembered that when I was seven years old, I forcibly used some of the abilities of the "elf", which led to a series of problems later, and it can be said that I suffered a lot.

But now, she has turned the power of reversal into her own use and has the body of the "Star Spirit".

Although the body as a 'container' is still not very 'compatible' because of its own dark attributes, but right now, isn't the opportunity to solve it already appear......

Stagnant above a forest with an abnormal magic factor, the brown-haired girl's expression gradually became serious.

(Found ......!) )

……

***********************************************************************************************************************

(…… This feeling...... The vitality of the earth has been taken away? )

Half-crouched on the ground and touched the mud and sand in her hands, and as soon as she entered the area covered in black clouds, Zela felt the extraordinary magic that spread all over the place.

And after perceiving it carefully, it was not so much that the anger was taken away, but that it was because of the influence of Nirvana.

However, this change also shows that the direction of her exploration is not wrong.

(Is it magic used to maintain the balance of the world...... )

(…… The magicians of 400 years ago were really people who couldn't be judged by common sense...... )

Whether it was Jelf or the person who created this magic, that era could really be called the era of great magic.

Feeling from the bottom of her heart, the girl who patted off the dust on her hands moved to the depths.

……

"Hmmm——?!"

Just as Zela was getting closer and closer to the location of Nirvana, an old man who was standing in front of the dilapidated hut, dressed like a primitive tribe, suddenly changed his face, as if he was very surprised by something.

"There are intruders...... When?! ”

After checking it twice, the old man, who found that it was not his delusion, suddenly looked in the direction of the depths of the sea of trees.

As the creator of some magic, he has been waiting here for nearly four hundred years to pay for his sins, praying for someone to destroy it.

Now, at last, there are new visitors.

It's just this person, and without his consent......

(…… No way...... Can't let that person get so close! )

Knowing the danger of this magic of reversing good and evil, and regardless of whether the mysterious visitor knew the effect of Nirvana, the person who could easily cross the seal he had placed and enter the depths of the sea of trees was definitely not an ordinary person.

If she 'accidentally' lifts the deepest seal, the consequences will be unimaginable!

Without hesitation, the old man's body gradually blurred, and it seemed that he began to teleport in a certain direction.

If it really didn't work, he had to take action himself.

Needless to say, it could be a simple character who could create this kind of super magic and maintain the existence of the Mind Body for more than 400 years with its huge magical power......

……

************************************************************************************************************************

(It's almost there...... )

On the other hand, the girl who is traveling in the direction where the magic is most abnormal in her perception is also about to reach the end.

Upon entering a cave, the rubble here appears to have turned into a lilac block of energy due to the long-term erosion of the magic.

As expected, this should be the place where Nirvana was sealed.

(…… )

(……! )

Walking to the end of the bumpy stone path, Zela's sight came into view of a giant tree that glowed purple and was held in chains.

Strange energy is constantly spreading around here, just like the magic that causes the 'death' of the earth in perception.

(Is this ...... 'Nirvana'...... )

Subconsciously wanted to stretch out her hand, and suddenly there was a strange fluctuation behind the girl.

“…… Stop it! ”

“——?!”

Keeping her slightly raised, she was stopped by an old voice before she could do anything.

"Whew...... It's not something to be touched, young man. ”

Seeing that the last seal had not yet been unlocked, the old man who had teleported in time was obviously relieved.

Although he was also puzzled as to why the girl in front of him would break into here, since there was no evil spirit on the other party's body, it meant that he should not be a bad person.

I guess it was just a mistake.

Guessing like this, the old man also slowed down.

"If there's nothing to do, can I ask you to get out of there?"

After staying in this strange environment for a long time, it is difficult to guarantee that nothing will happen.

“……”

“…… Missing the body? ”

“——!”

At a glance, the state of the person in front of him was revealed, and Zela, who turned around, frowned slightly, as if she was thinking about the identity of the other party.

After so many years, there are some things that she needs a little time to 'remember'.

I didn't expect this mysterious girl to be able to see through her own details, and the old man didn't dare to act rashly at once, so he had to stand a little stiff in place.

The atmosphere is strange again.
