Book 11: Chapter 3 (2)
Shin’s party spent the night in the ship. After making the necessary preparations, they stood before the dungeon’s gate.
Shin placed the last remaining card in the gate’s depression and all the cards started glowing brightly. With creaking, scratching sounds, the gate to the Castle of the Depths finally opened.
“Shin…there’s the possibility that we might be too late.”
“Yeah, even I can tell. This time it’s really bad.”
Shin could only agree with what Tiera said after the gate opened.
The Castle of the Depths had been swallowed by terribly thick miasma.
“Just to be safe, let’s all use these.”
Shin spoke while looking at the miasma oozing from beyond the gate. The situation was worse than expected, so he decided that it was too risky to just charge in without preparing proper countermeasures. He then handed some 『Miracle Drug of Holy Skies』, which they had used when exploring Fuji’s dungeon, to all the party members. To prepare for anything unexpected, he gave a stack of the item’s cards to everyone.
“Tiera, take this.”
