However, Ian soon understood Yurielle's intention.

Because the moment he picked her up, he heard her whisper.

"Pegasus, is something wrong here?"

"..."

Ian just looked at Yurielle, but heard her additional explanation.

"Shh-"

"Don't let anyone else know, otherwise, it will become a mess."

"..."

Probably understanding that Yurielle didn't want to cause chaos, Ian was silent for a moment and then nodded.

"A little bit, indeed."

"What exactly is it?" Euryale leaned against Ian's chest. "Pegasus, if you say that, there must be a reason, right?"

"that is--"

"This place looks familiar to me."

"Wha, what?"

Ian's answer obviously caught Yurielle off guard.

However, she quickly calmed herself down and asked cautiously.

"Are you serious?"

"Yes." The man also confirmed his statement.

"I... feel like I've lived here before."

"what?"

Yurielle could no longer conceal her panic.

However, she soon realized the subtext of Ian's words.

"That means-"

"You are familiar with this place, aren't you?"

"may be."

Ian looked at the road ahead.

"Anyway, let's take a look first—"

"Eurielie, please keep this secret for now."

"..."

"Okay." The second Loli sister silently lay on the man's chest, "I won't say anything."

However, although the situation on Yurielle's side was appeased.

But as they went deeper on the road and traveled longer distances, the others discovered something in the gradually changing scene before their eyes.

"Why do I feel like this building is getting more and more wrong the more I look at it—"

Ophelia was the first to speak.

"Is this really the type of building complex that existed in Uruk during this era?"

"..."

As an outstanding student of the Clock Tower, Ophelia's knowledge is naturally not limited to magic.

She also knows a lot about historical research.

“Isn’t this what this era should have?”

Stheno looked at Ophelia who said this.

"What does it mean?"

"that is……"

Ophelia paused.

Then, beside a wall, he pointed at it and said:

"Don't you think that even if we consider the premise of 'advanced technology', the architectural style of Uruk's underground buildings is very different from that of the surface buildings?"

"..."

Ophelia's words seemed to give Stheno some inspiration.

She followed her to the wall, looked at it, and nodded thoughtfully.

"really."

"Now that you put it that way, they do seem to have completely different styles."

"Then, could it be the result of having different rulers?"

At this point, Ophelia and Stheno's gazes simultaneously turned to Ishtar.

Obviously, as the goddess of Venus and the person with the deepest connection between the earth and the underground, she should know something.

however--

Just as unreliable as usual.

Facing the gazes from Ophelia and Stheno, Ishtar's first reaction was...

"I do not know!"

The goddess Venus supports herself with both hands, and plays a role that is neither right nor wrong but is strong.

"This isn't my 'territory', why would I know about this?"

"If you really want to know why, then there will be no follow-up results until I see my sister, right?"

"..."

There is no answer to the question, and it can even be said to be flawless.

However, Ishtar's performance was enough to let others know one thing - that is, she knew nothing about the situation underground.

"That--"

"Let's just work hard towards finding my sister."

Medusa cleverly changed the subject.

"In this case, we can be considered to have come to the underground with a purpose."

"It can only be this way."

Ian nodded.

"Once we find her, everything will be explained."

"Ishtar, you should know how to get out of this, right?"

"Maybe……"

The Venus goddess's aura was much weaker in front of Ian.

"If she hadn't moved—"

After various "compromises", the purpose of the journey was finally changed again.

It’s just that there are still many questions in the minds of the group.

"Feel……"

"Your power underground has weakened a lot." Yurielle, who was held by Ian, was the first to speak. "Ishtar, you don't seem to be very good at staying here."

"Isn't that natural?"

This time, Ishtar had a good reason to refute Euryale.

"This is the underworld that my sister controls, not my place."

"Isn't it the same if you let your sister come to my side?"

"It turns out to be the underworld."

The loli sister Steno looked at the surrounding environment and her eyes became complicated.

"So, the reason we can't see 'people' is because we don't belong here, right?"

"..."

"That possibility cannot be ruled out," Ishtar replied.

There is still a clear distinction between life and death.

Ian still remembered that Ereshkigal had also said that she couldn't leave her underworld for too long.

but--

Will it really be like this now, where I can't feel anything at all?

Ian always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on what it was.

But at this moment, the man suddenly felt someone pulling his hand.

He turned around and saw that it was Ophelia.

"you……"

"Hey, I didn't mean to touch you!" Ophelia quickly defended her behavior. "Although I really wanted to do that, not this time!"

"Do you... feel the ground moving?"

"Ok?"

After Ophelia said this, Ian realized where the abnormality he felt came from.

Yes.

She was right.

ground……

In "movement".

To be precise——

It's breathing.

Correct.

Breathing.

Because every breath requires the "muscles" to move, Ophelia can feel the ground moving.

Wait a moment--!

The man seemed to realize something.

But before he could express this thought, everything began to get out of control.

Boom!

The ground, which was originally shaking slightly, began to shake violently.

Then, there was a scene like an earth-shaking earthquake.

Click——

Click——

The ground, which was originally an abyss, was torn into several holes.

Tentacles like tree branches spread out from it.

They were covered with eyes and attacked the uninvited guests underground with surging momentum, as if they wanted to entangle them all to death.

"Be careful--!"
