A Fragment of a Crimson Jewel.

That meant it was being used to maintain the current sorcery in the Abyssal Pit.

It was also said that it had once been used to communicate with the former ruler of Mangye.

"I felt it the first time I saw it, too."

The energy contained within that fragment was overwhelmingly intense. It was impossible to gauge just how much power was inside.

I had heard that they were using the energy within it to cast the sorcery around this area.

"Judging by its energy alone, it makes sense how the sorcery was cast."@@novelbin@@

With such a vast amount of power, it wasn’t impossible. It was such a deep and immense energy that I couldn’t help but think so.

But then—

"Were you really planning on giving this to me?"

"……."

At my words, the spirit's hand trembled.

"This is all we can offer to a great being like yourself, a ruler from beyond…."

"And what happens to you if you give this to me?"

If they handed this over, they wouldn’t be able to maintain the barrier that made up their surroundings. Was it really fine to just give this away like this?

The spirit answered my question.

"……If you grant us salvation, there will no longer be a need to maintain this space. It won’t be a major issue—"

"No, that's not what I'm asking."

I cut off the spirit’s words. That wasn’t the point of my question.

"If you give this to me, the passage through which you communicate with the ruler of Mangye will disappear. Are you really okay with that?"

"……."

The spirit hesitated at my words.

Without that fragment, they would no longer be able to communicate with their master. Could a shaman really afford to lose that?

When I asked, the spirit remained silent for a moment before finally answering.

"It’s fine…."

"Is that so?"
