Chapter 609: Mystery (2)
According to the expedition leader, starting from about 200 meters above, the gusts of wind were too strong to ascend using levitation magic.
They even tried casting illumination magic to try and reveal the view, but the wind was so fierce that the magic dispersed quickly.
However, when the illumination magic briefly flared, one member of the expedition said they saw something.
“There was definitely something looking down at me from the darkness.”
That expedition member couldn’t clearly describe the appearance, shape, or size of the thing, but was strongly certain they had seen something.
“The wind was so strong that it was hard to see properly ahead. We have to consider the possibility that they were mistaken...”
The expedition leader seemed skeptical of the member’s account, but I was different.
Of course, I don’t fully believe it either...
“Then let’s check again.”
“Check again... you mean...?”
“Yes. Go back up and use the illumination magic properly this time. Then we should be able to see something clearly.”
“...The members are quite exhausted. Can we let them rest sufficiently today and continue the investigation from tomorrow?”
