Chapter 22.1: Floating Veil (3)

Waa!

Asher broke down the huge stone gate and we went inside.

Moving beyond the rubble of collapsed stone fragments, what appeared was a huge cavity.

Haa…

I sighed a little and looked around.

Unidentifiable geometric patterns drawn on the floor and walls below, structures, and even the luminous stones embedded in the ceiling dimly illuminated the space.

It must have been built quite a long time ago, but those glowstones were not still exhausted.

It was a scene that oozes a more mysterious atmosphere than the corridors I passed through.

I walked further in, feeling the same joy I had when I reached the end of the dungeon while playing the game. Now it was time to claim the reward.

Let’s see.

On one side of the cavity was a door slightly smaller than the door where the stone statue that had just been demolished was. It must have been that way.

The user who I watched from the game video was disappointed in the dungeon without a single item like a relic, but they must have entered that door, discovered the mystery, forgotten about the feeling of loss, and danced in the pants of joy.

Come to think of it, it was strange why the mystery was hidden in this dungeon.

Mystery was the setting of an unknown power that had nothing to do with mana or magic, and the place where it appeared was completely random.

It could be just a crazy coincidence, or there could be a reason I didn’t know about.

Of course, that was a good thing.

What mattered to me now was the existence of the mystery of the floating veil waiting for me beyond that door.

But it’s not just that, right?

Suddenly, a possibility came to mind.

The timeline of the current world was a point in the past, five years ago in the world played in the game.

There’s a possibility that the mystery hadn’t been created yet. So there could be nothing in there?

“Asher, break down this door.”

I ordered Asher, brushing the ominous assumptions out of my head that I did not want to imagine.

Standing behind me, looking around the cavity, she came over and broke down the door.

Asher, who was brought here so I could use her as an escort, was actually used more to destroy things.

“Wait here.”

After I told her that, I went inside alone.

As I went further along the path that was narrower than the corridor, another cavity came out.

The only difference was that there were traces of human life here.

“…”

I looked up and stared at the ceiling, not paying attention to anything else.

I was staring at a pattern drawn on the ceiling and shining brightly in white.

The corners of my lips rose slowly.

Excitement welled up along with relief.

“Floating Veil…”

Mystery was more powerful as the size of the pattern increased.

The pattern of the floating veil was much larger than the super-regeneration, so it could not fill the ceiling of the wide cavity and continued to the wall below.

I laughed for a moment at the joy of finding the mystery, but soon realized the situation and let out a small sigh.

“Haa…”

Come to think of it, was that painted on the ceiling in the game video?

I couldn’t think because I was concentrating on other things.

The ceiling of the cavity was high enough to easily exceed several times my height. At a glance, it looked like it was 10 meters.

…It should be absorbed only when it was touched, but how should I absorb it?

I stared blankly at the ceiling like a dog chasing chickens, then glanced back.

Should I go back and get Asher?

However, even if it’s Asher, I did not want to show her the existence of a mystery.

Was there another way?

“…”

I turned my gaze to the wall.

There were a lot of protruding parts, so I thought I could climb it if I tried hard enough.

Ugh.

Anyway, there was no easy way to get anything.

I let out a sigh and moved closer to the wall.

I never thought I would do rock climbing like this, which I had never done before in my life.

There was super regeneration anyway, so I didn’t have to worry about getting hurt if I fell, and I my stamina also wouldn’t run out that easily.

Holding on clumsily to the protruding part, I climbed slowly, groping.

If it was my original physical ability, I would have climbed a few meters and my arms would have trembled, but thanks to super regeneration, the lack of strength was immediately filled.

As I slowly and slowly climbed up like that, I was already right under the ceiling before I knew it.

If I stumbled once and fell, I had to climb up again, so I carefully fixed my center of gravity, slowly released one hand, and stretched out.

Whoa!
