Chapter 323
Clunk. Clunk.
Merlin opened his eyes to a familiar noise and vibration. His entire body felt lethargic and weak.
“What is this place… am I inside a train?”
He sat on a seat made of luxurious material, and he felt as though his whole body was completely submerged in the lavish chair. Merlin had a dumbfounded expression. All the seats around him were quite spacious, and there only seemed to be 12 seats in the car. Furthermore, the inside of the cabin was so quiet that Merlin involuntarily lowered his voice when he spoke.
‘I… based on my last recollection….’
While making himself as small as possible, Merlin tried to jog his memory. When he fought the anti-Union factions, the Legion’s forces ambushed him. It was an unavoidable situation. After all, his opponents had reached the transcendent realm long ago, and Merlin’s physical condition wasn’t normal at the time either.
‘And in that state, I was looking for an opportunity to resummon Apollo.’
However, in contrast to when he dealt with Leviathan, his new enemies had seen Apollo’s appearance and knew Merlin could summon him. Thus, they had been wary of his every movement.
And once they started growing wary and cautious, it was next to impossible to properly use his Flame Rubies. This was because Muspelheim’s core, which possessed [exclusive] power in and of itself, couldn’t be used well unless Merlin maintained the highest level of concentration.
