When Demon Child Become Human
␑| Research in Nifle

After the meeting, we went to start the investigation with enough experts and qualified equipment.

As a result, the data we now get quite a lot, almost covers the entire Nifle area. And most likely .. This place is uninhabitable, like it has been exposed to active radio exposure from nuclear; the intensity of dragonic pressure is very strong. Even some of the Dragonic Department staff had to suspect that the rest of Tiamat's energy might still be there and wanted to research further.

Even though the mission has lasted two days, the investigation period has not been completed. In addition, the search for traces of the team that once disappeared also did not find a bright spot.

Honestly, the Nifle area was indeed much different from the dream-illusion-world of dimensional space that Tiamat used to confine people in nightmares. Arid; ash; dark, really dominating until the trees look dry. The niche is quite deep after the fight with Tiamat was still left.

But during the investigation, we did not check into the area because while doing the patrol there were no significant signs and the place was already outside the rural area. But my curiosity says otherwise.

So I tried to get permission to trace the area until I asked Professor Kaidan for help, finally I was free to investigate - first entered squad two, which consisted of two staff of the Dragonic Department; student of the Gear Department; one Execution was me.

On the third day, I hope to find something.

Then after breakfast I came out of the tent we had built during the investigation, to move quickly towards the remnant relics of fighting with Tiamat.

Upon arrival I stood on the edge of the cliff with a red net staring at the curve of the ground deep enough, I myself did not know how wide the diameter was.

With a little mumbling, I crouched down ... Maybe, there is nothing special here? Not even dragonic pressure existed. Does it feel like the time is just my feeling?

I started snoring, better go around somewhere else because I got a free inquiry letter. However, when it was about to stand vaguely it sounded the voice of people from .. eh, where? When the eye slid to and fro, there was no sign of a building or the existence of a person-intermittent, in the ground? So I decided to close my eyes to improve my focus on the sense of hearing.

Vaguely the echoing male accent carried by the hiss of the wind .. right, from deep in the ground just below the curve deep enough in it.

Without further ado I prepared the Heart Core and took out Zweihande. Immediately I soared high; grasping the hilt of the great sword using two hands; aiming the tip of the sword for the sake of touching right in the middle of the indentation by relying on his own body weight.

Bam!

Rebellious debam sounded jarring because the rocks clashing together enliven, making dust particles fill the air to dispel the vision-ah, I hope that the sound did not provoke the attention of others.

I shook my hands in front of my face to remove the dust that was blocking and began to stand by; lifting Zweihande with the horses to walk forward slowly.

It seems I arrived at the basement.

I didn't expect that there was such a place in Nifle, was it possible that here the Ritual of Sacrifice was performed? It seemed like my position was in a long hallway with a wall made up of large-sized stones.

Then the eyes look straight for the sake of reading around and clearly visible light is very minimal. Perhaps, the lighting was just the sunlight from the hole that I had forced.

As I peed long I stuck Zweihande on the side and let the sword refract, slowly returning to the shape of the black crystal ball in the grasp.

That way, I also prepared Vision through the Heart Core which was now hovering and glowing blue over a radius of several meters. Slowly, begin to relax the body especially on the hands to prepare for raw physical strength if there is an enemy facing.

Desperate indeed, without sufficient illumination as well as a map, I traced the basement but as long as the signal was undisturbed, it was no big deal-ah, the voice just now!

Again I heard the cry of someone who was quite echoing deep down there and now getting louder. Maybe the ruins made him realize that someone else had arrived so he kept calling for help? Soon I approached the origin of the sound.

I hope there are no dragons here because it is quite surprising to know that there are civilians or that anyone lives underground after the Tiamat and the failed Ritual of Sacrifice.

Wait, he could be one of the missing members of the Vaughan team, right? The feet are running faster.

My hands spontaneously scratched the head that did not itch because .. it turns out many passageways branching. So I decided to take a deep breath again and stay calm in position; as much as possible focus on hearing-there!

As soon as I ran into the left-most aisle, it became clearer that the sound of asking for help made me sure to follow the right path.

Now it looks like I arrived at the ranks .. prison? And it was clear that the voice of the middle-aged man was unceasingly echoing. In order to calm the person down then I said, "Help arrives, I'm a member of Va-waaa!!"

God, jesus! I was shocked as the shadow moved wildly right in front of me and paused-for-a-while, the highlight from Vision made this place gradually clear. It turned out that a few blocks ahead there was someone, and from the uniform ... it turned out to be true, one of the Vaughan staffers!

"You're a member of the Consulting Department?" I was getting closer to the faithful old man perched on the iron bars of one of the prison rooms. "I'm a Grade S Department Execution student, a missing persons search team and a surveyor, tasked with investigating the case of Mission Grade A number R047 in the Nifle area."

Suddenly, the old man groaned down. "Yes! Finally, reinforcements!!"

Then I nodded steadily and nimbly looked at the iron bars of the prison cover ... where is the entrance? Why is all the iron stuck firmly on this wall? How can I get him out? Ah, maybe, I'll just demolish the wall? This is from the rocks, should if driven one some will come crashing down especially see from the many puddles and moss that meet.

"Please get away from the wall and squat for cover."

"He? What do you want?"

"Take you out."

"Did?!"

Without saying anything back, I turned to the side of the wall and took a few steps back. I directly ran. Then using the left foot as a pedestal to turn the back, I focused the strength on the heel of the right foot to kick straight to the side and gave a strong spring energy up--to-the-minute

Brak!

Some boulders bounced back to hit the wall behind-ah, if the old man did not dodge may have been hit by the debris, though ... he ended up looking horror at me until it collapsed to the ground. However, I ignored it and rushed in to lend a hand to help her up.

"You ... What the fuck was that? Why not use a gun?!"

I directly tilted my head. "Because I'm using the vison so I can't. Kicked like that enough, anyway?"

But he replied to me by breathing a long breath. H-ah, suddenly I feel guilty. "Uumm, if you use Vision maybe I can prepare a weapon."

The old man snapped a finger. "That's it! My Heart Core is in the back room along with my belongings. Aaakh, we have to get there! I've made a copy of the floor plan of this place as well, and need to save the rest of the team!"

"Eh, the others aren't with you?"

"No, when we were hit by a surprise attack from the dragon, we immediately scattered due to the state of being too clamped down until one Swordmaster had to hold all the enemies. You are alone ... are you alone?"

I nodded to his question. "I've obtained permission to freely investigate from Professor Kaidan."

"Directly from Kaidan?! Aaakh, you're good." And this old man scratched his hair while continuing to groan. "We have to move fast, my men may be in danger! Follow me, I still memorize the path!"

He ran but I felt .. There were many irregularities. Moreover his dark blue eyes somehow felt familiar-ah, there was something more important! I hurried to step up to catch up.
