It's a pitch black world.

It's not that you don't see the light of day, as you usually say, and you don't see your fingers.

Everything in front of you is clearly visible, but all of it is shrouded in an unknowable fog.

It's probably something like that, standing on top of a very high valley and looking down.

Although you can faintly see the scenery below, you can't explore it.

“…… The scenery here seems to be somewhat similar to that of the Shadow Country? ”

After looking around, I said to Votigen, who was beside me.

"Nonsense, the Shadow Nation itself is the outermost part of the Underworld, and it certainly doesn't make much difference in terms of the environment." Fu Tigeng crossed his arms and said very arrogantly, "It's just that the Shadow Country happens to be at the boundary between the inner and outer layers of the world, so you can be allowed to enter in the form of a physical body at that time." ”

Because it is a soul, Fu Ti Geng also appeared in his full form.

The black robe enveloped the whole body, the bright eyes were like the stars in the sky, and the face was handsome and evil.

Long hair fell down the shoulders, and from time to time there were small, deep flames jumping in them.

There is no doubt that his appearance is extremely attractive, and he is full of fatal attraction for both men and women.

“……”

When he appeared, he circled around me twice with great interest, looking up and down and observing something carefully.

“…… What are you doing? ”

Feeling the look in Votigen's eyes as if he was about to see through completely, I felt extremely uncomfortable all over my body.

What followed was a chill.

Although it should not be possible...... But will it be ......

"It's hard to understand." Fu Tigeng retracted his gaze and looked at me, "You little ghost, if you look closely, you are so ordinary that you can't be more ordinary, and you don't even have the desire to let people take a second look." I really don't know how the Knight King thinks of you who are useless. ”

"This kind of thing, even if you ask me, it's useless." I shrugged my shoulders and said, "Why don't you find a chance to ask Red Dragon why he loved you in the first place?" ”

"Hmph, it's just a stupid human who dares to contradict this king." Fu Tigeng snorted coldly, "Between this king and the red dragon, it is an eternal and unchanging love that transcends everything in the world, how can you understand it?" ”

"Okay, okay, I don't understand you, and you don't try to understand me." I spread my hands helplessly, "Hurry up and get down to business." ”

"Well, let the king identify the way."

Fu Tigen put two slender fingers on his forehead, closed his eyes and quietly sensed something.

"This way."

Fu Tigen said, and suddenly strode away in one direction.

"You wait for me a little, I can't react so quickly!"

I shouted as I hurried to catch up with him from behind.

"Cut, who cares about you, human." Fu Tigeng's footsteps did not stop at all, and even sped up a little, "This king came to the underworld to regain the other half of his soul, but he must rely on your identity as a living person to return here." If you can keep up, you can keep up, and if you can't, you can't do it. ”

"Hey, it's not what we said!" I was dumbfounded, "Didn't you say you wanted to protect me?" ”

However, Fu Tigeng didn't seem to hear it, and only cared about moving forward.

"Damn, I was put on a stand by this guy!"

While hating my own innocence, I helplessly kept up with Fu Tigeng's pace.

……

After walking for about half an hour, Fu Tigeng frowned slightly, and his pace gradually slowed down.

"Whew...... Votigeng you ......"

When I finally got to take a breath, I couldn't help but want to complain.

"Don't talk yet, little ghost." Fu Tigeng's tone was a little more solemn, "Something is wrong." ”

"What did you find?"

Feeling Fu Tigeng's serious tone, I also lowered my voice.

"It seems to be too calm along the way." Fu Tigeng's gaze was steady, and he couldn't see the change in feelings, "No matter how far this place is the periphery of the underworld, it is impossible to walk for so long and not even meet a monster." ”

"Could it be...... What unknown changes have taken place in the underworld? My heart struck, "Do you have any impression of this?" ”

“…… I don't know. Fu Tigeng was silent for a moment and shook his head, "This kind of thing has never happened in the underworld before, and this is no longer what this king knows." ”

"Little ghost, if you want to turn back, you are still in the outer layer of the underworld, and we can just go back the way we came." Fu Tigeng pondered for a moment and said, "This king will not let you die here, after all, this king must use your body to exist consciousness now. ”

“…… No, we go to the deepest part as fast as we can, and then turn back! ”

I shook my head and said firmly.

"Are you sure, little ghost?" Fu Tigeng glanced at me with some surprise, "This king has already said that the changes in the underworld are unknown to even this king......"

"It's a good thing that there aren't monsters anyway, and it's a good thing for our plans." I retorted, "Since you don't know what's going on, you just don't care about it." It is good to think of it as a great gift from fate. ”

“…… Whew, I really don't know whether to describe you as fearless or reckless. Fu Tigen held his forehead.

"Still, it seems like a good idea once in a while."

As he spoke, a smile appeared on his face.

"For so long, this king has been accustomed to thinking from a perspective that is beyond the world. Your appearance reminds this king of his youthful posture. Although there is a little less consideration, there is an indomitable momentum. ”

"Then let's go, get to the deepest part as fast as you can!"

……

After a tortuous and complicated road, the two of us finally stood in front of a magnificent stone platform.

"Is this the deepest part of the underworld?"

Feeling the heavy air around me, I looked at Fu Ti Geng on the side.

"Yes, there can be nothing wrong with this king's induction." Fu Tigen nodded slowly.

As a result, there were no so-called monsters standing in the way until here, and the road was unimpeded.

On the altar at the top of the stone platform, there is a transparent mass that flows very slowly.

"Little ghost, that's the half of the soul of this king who was sealed in the underworld by the world!" In Fu Tigeng's tone, it was difficult to hide the excitement.

"So, how do you get it back into your body?" I asked.

"This ......"

Just as Fu Tigeng was about to open his mouth to say something, suddenly the transparent mass squirmed rapidly.

"Kid, back off!"

Fu Tigeng's face changed suddenly, and he grabbed my arm and jumped backwards.

Boom——!

As soon as we left, we saw that the stone platform trembled violently!

Countless huge cracks emerged from its surface, rapidly expanding.
