Manga Born to Be King

　　If you can resist disaster.If the most tragic precognitive dream can be subverted—perhaps it can only be up to him.

　　Cassandra pursed her lips.

　　"Ah~"

　　Hestia let out a relaxed voice.Her upper body was lying on the table, squeezing her plump humps.The location is the "House of Hearthfire", the base camp of the Hestia family.

　　"Look at you being lazy, don't you have to work part-time today?"

　　"Yeah, Hephaestus and Potato Ball miraculously have a holiday. But even if it's a rare holiday, it wouldn't be interesting without them~"

　　When Hestia was paralyzed in the living room, Mih, who was carrying things, spoke to her.

　　At present, the family is on an expedition, and the Hestia family base camp that all members of the team participated in is equivalent to an empty city.To make up for this, her close friends of gods took turns sending members to the "House of Fire".Today is the turn of the Mikh family.

　　The main god Mihe himself also joined. While chatting with Hestia, the dog man Nuza opened the door and walked into the room.

　　"Goddess Hestia, all packed up..."

　　"Wow, you really did it for me, Nazha? I'm sorry, thank you!"

　　"Don't worry about it...and you've invited me to dinner...and the best part is that you can let me use the bathroom."

　　Nuozha smiled at Hestia with half-closed eyes that seemed sleepy at first glance.The tail growing from the waist also seemed to be full of anticipation for the night, and swayed from side to side.

　　"Don't talk about it, Hestia? It seems to be noisy in the backyard since just now..."

　　"Oh... It was Hephaestus who sent the blacksmith child to help guard, but that child was a bit unique. He came to me and said he wanted to see what the forge looked like... After I agreed, she not only turned around inside. Looking in the west, what kind of weapons have you started to build..."

　　"Then, I also want to drop by Lily Luca's room to have a look. It feels like there are rare items or materials that can be used to make medicine... evil smile."

　　"Please spare me, I will be scolded by Miss Supporter!"

　　Seeing that Hestia was clearly the main god, but revealed her low status in the relationship between superiors and subordinates, Mih smiled bitterly.

　　"Do you worry that they are not here?"

　　"Of course. But I have to prepare first. When the children come back, I have to tell them, "You are back."

　　"I said, Mih... Cassandra she..."

　　At the same time, her expression and tone became serious.

　　"I've been thinking about it ever since she was with Apollo..."

　　"Well...she 'can see'. And it's something that even the gods can't see."

　　Seeing the two gods nodding to each other, Nuozha, who turned back, tilted her head.

　　"" = Although I don't know why Apollo kept the girl by his side... I can only say that the child also contains the "unknown" of the lower world. "

　　"The 'unknown' that even we have no way of knowing, isn't it... I can really understand why the gods have been so fascinated by the lower realm since the earliest one came."

　　After saying that, Hestia leaned her entire body on the back of the chair.As if Chi was thinking about the whole lower realm, she looked up at the ceiling for a while. .

Chapter 343

　　Hestia took out the potato balls for refreshment and munched on them.

　　"Huh? Is it a visitor?"

　　"I'll open the door..."

　　Hearing the doorbell of the mansion rang, Nuza stood up from her seat.Hestia and the others waited for a while, only to see that Nuza came back with a letter.

　　"It seems to be a letter from Lily Luca... It is said that on the eighteenth floor, there are adventurers who are entrusted by her..."

　　"A letter from Miss Supporter? I don't think that iron cock girl will spend a lot of money for a letter..."

　　When entrusting other people in the dungeon to do errands, you will probably be asked for compensation that is higher than the market price.To put it bluntly, it is taking advantage of people's danger.Not to mention if it is an advanced adventurer who can go to the safe floor.

　　Hearing that Lily, who is meticulous in financial management, is willing to use the badges and letters of her family, and is called a messenger from the eighteenth floor where she can go back and forth as long as she takes time, Hestia jokingly said, but there is something ominous in her heart. hunch.

　　Hestia read the letter and was taken aback by the sudden news.In order to make it okay for outsiders to see it, Neiwen avoided direct words.

　　"What happened in the dungeon..."

　　Recalling that Lily's letter finally wrote that in order to prevent Liu from being caught, please send reinforcements to the eighteenth floor to help her escape, the goddess can only mutter to herself.

　　Although there was a battle during the break, the Gale Crusade went into action without any problem.Under the instructions of Poros, everyone searched the floors, left guards in front of the passage, and finally stepped into the twenty-fourth floor.

　　The group has spent a lot of time and entered the second day. At first, the adventurers who were fighting to kill the legendary bounty objects began to be lazy.

　　"Hey, don't procrastinate, let's go! Maybe [Blast] will do something else!"

　　"Calm down, Tucker. Go too fast and miss the clue, that's called a pig's head. But well, I'm starting to feel a little bored, I don't deny that..."

　　The voices of those who were impatient and those who were not impatient came, but Cassandra ignored them and asked Lily, "Excuse me, Miss Lily... can you lend me the floor map?"

　　"Hey, do you still want to borrow it?"

　　"Yes, I want to borrow another floor this time.  …Sorry."

　　The maroon eyes were filled with surprise, and Lily took out the floor map from her backpack.Kassandra was already holding another map, and she took over a new one.

　　With a glimmer of hope, Cassandra discussed with Poros and the others whether to suspend the action of the crusade team, but as expected, the opponent did not take it seriously and declared defeat.Now she only thinks that she can only rely on herself, in order to prevent the prophecy from being fulfilled, let her brain absorb the information on the floor as much as possible.

　　To find any other clues, she stared at every corner of the map, almost seeing a hole in it.

　　"Although I expected it long ago, it really took time..."

　　"However, there is only a short distance from the middle floor. If Lyu-sama was in the big tree maze, you should be able to find one or two traces..."

　　Hearing these words, Cassandra shook her head in her heart.

　　(No... not right.)

　　The blast is not here.

　　[The Fairy Promised to Be the Leader of Destruction] The place to lure the adventurers chasing all the way into is not here.The prophet of tragedy knows that the promised land that [Destruction] is about to visit is not this big tree labyrinth.

　　Precognition in the form of a nightmare whispered to Cassandra:

　　──The blue water has also been reduced to a river of blood, and the aliens rejoice in it.

　　──The lower Styx will wash away the overflowing remains, and return everything to the mother.

　　The blue water, the lower reaches of the Styx.where these nouns represent.That's right, in other words—

　　"What? Explosion!?"

　　"The shock came from below... is it the lower level?"

　　There is no other possibility other than the Water Mystery Capital.The tremor from the ground and the sound of bombardment in the ears made the adventurer in an uproar.Cassandra's breathing paused, and in her hands, the lower map she had been studying for a long time shook.

　　The girl realized that the moment had finally come.Realizing that the prophecy is in effect, the opening bell has been rung.Cassandra's lips trembled secretly.

　　"Little ones, let's go!"

　　Under the order of Poros, the whole crew rushed out.Whether it was the impatient adventurers or Nangong Xiao and others, they were all guided away by the intermittent explosions.Cassandra ran in the back position, her heart was churning with unprecedented unease, and she desperately suppressed the fierce heartbeat in her chest.

　　The passage from the twenty-fourth floor—the cave covered with crystals, echoed the sound of several footsteps.The adventurers ran down the long slope below and rushed into the exit where the blue light was shining.What broke into the field of vision was a giant azure waterfall sprinkled with beautiful blue emerald water, and a large void formed by crystals.

　　"The explosion is... woohoo! Here it is again!"

　　"Is [Blast] making a fuss?"

　　"The impact came from further down... Now it seems that the accident happened on the twenty-seventh floor."

　　Starting from the [-]th floor of the water mystery, there is a giant blue waterfall running through each floor to the [-]th floor.There are three large hollows consisting of a large waterfall and a large waterfall pool like a lake, and it stretches down like a staircase.The adventurers looked down at the twenty-seventh floor of the end of the giant blue waterfall far below from the cliff they were currently standing, and Poros narrowed his right eye without a blindfold.

　　There was a grey smoke that was different from the splash.And the crystal column that was so strongly impacted that it sank into the waterfall pool like the tip of an iceberg collapsed.He estimated that the target was the floor where a lot of water splashed and became foggy and white.

　　"I see that the explosion just now is definitely not caused by monsters! Eighty percent of them are adventurers. To put it more clearly, it may be caused by [Blast]! We have to carefully select the team to go to the twenty-seventh floor! The guy who didn't get selected just look at this passage!"

　　"Oh oh oh!"

　　Following Porus's instructions, the adventurers struggled to raise their swords, spears or axes.The hooligans who were once lazy and sloppy were realistic enough to shout at each other in high spirits when they saw that the [Gale Wind] hunting operation was finally about to start.

　　Cassandra frequently peeked at the passage leading to the twenty-fourth floor behind her, but then shook her head vigorously.She cut off her own thoughts of being indecisive, telling herself that it was impossible to turn back.In the eighteen years of his life, he has experienced many hardships and knows that such naive thoughts are invalid for his precognitive dreams?

　　It all starts from now on, depends on the next performance.In order to avoid the prophecy, in the future only success is allowed, and failure is not allowed.Cassandra pushed and encouraged herself so.

　　"As for future actions, Lily also thinks the twenty-seventh floor is suspicious. Lily, we should try to join the elite team and make contact with Lyu-sama."

　　"Hit, excuse me! We shouldn't have to go to the twenty-seventh floor, right? It's not very convenient for so many people to act together!"

　　Although there are many things that are not clear about the content of the precognition dream, Cassandra has a general idea about the location.

　　──The lower Styx will wash away the overflowing remains, and return everything to the mother.

　　Cassandra speculates that the lower reaches of the Styx here is the end of the Great Blue Waterfall, which is the twenty-seventh floor of the lowest area of ​​the Water Mystery City.In other words, Calamity will also appear on the same floor.

　　Cassandra persuaded Lily and the others while resenting her faltering lips, when Daphne also interjected from her side: "I feel the same way as Cassandra. Although we are on this floor. Area battles are fine, but only explored once. There's nothing more likely to fail unexpectedly than an unfamiliar floor, right?"

　　"Da, Daphne..."

　　"Even if the leader can protect the progress, I don't think it's possible to find someone faster than other adventurers, right?"

　　Daphne gave her opinion from Kassandra's mind—a place other than the avoidance of precognitive dreams.The girl has long been held as a commander in the Apollo family, and she has always maintained a cautious judgment on the extremely dangerous area of ​​​​the lower level.

　　"Hey, in fact, this is also out of selfishness. I don't want to gamble my life for someone I don't know very well."

　　"That's right, Lily understands. It's true that the speed of advancement is inversely proportional to the number of people in the team, and this time we need to move quickly. Don't let everyone go to the twenty-seventh floor together."

　　Meanwhile, Cassandra felt infinite peace of mind.I don't think it's going to go all the way to the worst possible ending.Just when she let go of the heavy burden on her shoulders and breathed a sigh of relief...

...... 0

　　"Then to go to the group on the twenty-seventh floor, it's up to my brother and..."

　　Immediately something else made her whole body stiff.

　　"That, that that that that that that that that that—!?"

　　This time Kassandra raised her right hand, and interrupted in a hurry.Except for the head of the group, Nangong Xiao, everyone else had obvious death prophecies, and they obviously couldn't let them go in this situation.

　　"I-I think the others should stay on the twenty-fifth floor, it's better to be with everyone..."

　　"why?"

　　"Because...the day before yesterday, when I returned to the eighteenth floor with a mentally exhausted Miss Haruhi...it, actually! I think Miss Haruhi is very heavy!"
