Chapter 1017 New Special Quest

Chapter 1017 New Special Quest

?-----

I could swear I felt a powerful presence, a blinding light… There was no way nobody could have felt that, right?

"Aquarina, did you feel it? That light?" I asked her.

"What light?" Aquarina tilted her head, confused.

"Pyuku?" I asked him.

"No?" Pyuku was coming with us.

"N-Nephilim?" I asked again.

"I didn't feel anything, Master… And my senses are spread everywhere due to my internal functions…" Nephilim explained. "If there was something, I would have sensed it right away."

"But then… Weird."

I felt confused for a bit as we made our way to the closest pieces of ruins there were. I asked Alice or my Familiars, but none of them felt anything either.

"Perhaps it was something only you could see with those eyes of yours?" Aquarina wondered. "Your eyes are very special after all, Sylphy!"

"Y-You're not wrong…" I said while wondering. "Maybe it was something only I could see or perceive. But it came from the summit."

"The summit? Where the ruins are?" Pyuku wondered.

"Yep…" I said. "Well, for now let's concentrate in mother's task!"

Ding!

[A New [Special Quest] has been generated: [Find Clues About What Happened to the Sunstone Ruins]!]

[For some mysterious reason, the ruins blew up long ago, according to your mother's findings. This sent flying the pieces of these ruins everywhere, causing a lot of chaos back then.]

[Now, eons later, these fragments continue exuding a large quantity of Sunlight Energy, producing the very rare and endemic Sunstones that only grow within the Sunstone Plateau.]

[However, the mystery of why this even happened is still lingering around, waiting for a group of curious adventurers to finally unveil this ancient and now forgotten event…]

[Find five clues that could bring you to the truth of what might have happened.]

[Clues: 0/5]

[Completion Rewards: [EXP] [???]

[Time Limit: 24 Hours]

Oh wow, another new Quest! This is completely unexpected but welcomed.

"Alright, let's find clues then!"

The ruins which we were moving to were already in front of us. The first thing I noticed is how bloated they were with Sunstones.

There were almost no crevices where we could get into the small room-sized area that the rubble had formed in there.

"Well, it is sure full of these stones… I guess we can't just smash them all, the spirits are living in here and being constantly born, according to Lara…" Aquarina sighed, crossing her arms.

"I think I could open up a small crevice so we can get in." Pyuku said.

"You can?" I asked.

"Yeah! Leave it to me!" Pyuku quickly transformed into his smaller, slime-like form and started eating the black stone that made the rubble.

Slowly, he dug through a tunnel where we could get through barely…

"It's open! Come in!"

As he called for us, I was analyzing the components of the ruins with my eyes…

It was called Ancient Black Steel Stone. It wasn't as powerful as other divine metals, but it was still a divine metal.

It was as tough as mithril, but had terrible conduction with mana, and it was used to isolate places, apparently…

Such a tough metal, whatever that explosion was, it was strong enough to blow this metal into pieces!

"Alright~ We'll get going!"

Aquarina quickly kneeled and started moving through the tunnel.

I quickly followed her, as I ended finding her big butt in my face.

"Ugh…!"

I ended hitting her soft butt with my face, as Aquarina gave a little moan.

"S-Sylphy?!"

She sounded really embarrassed…

"A-Ah… Sorry, I just hit it by accident…" I apologized. "Your butt is really soft though~"

"W-Wha…?!" Aquarina suddenly got even more embarrassed. "L-

Let's just keep moving…"

"Sorry~" We continued moving through the tunnels, while Nephilim walked behind me.

Once we landed on the other side, we found ourselves on a small cave, illuminated by bright orange and red-colored sunstones.

Pyuku was standing in the middle of it, looking at what looked to be a…

"Metallic Tablet?" I wondered, walking to his side.

"Oh? Yeah, I found this here… It is broken, only a piece of one." Pyuku said.

"This is…" Nephilim suddenly recognized that piece. "It is a Communication Tablet, technology of the gods. With this, they can communicate from long distances at any time, project their forms, and search for endless information and entertainment… They also store a lot of information in these. But it is broken, sadly."

"I see…" I nodded. "It does have some things engraved on it. Words?"

"Yeah, those are words, right?" Aquarina wondered. "Pyuku, can you read them for us?"

"S-Sure…" Pyuku grabbed the tablet and start to decipher it first.

In the meantime, Aquarina tightly grasped my butt!

"Ouch! H-Hey!"

"Hehe, that's my revenge~!"

"You little brat~!"

I played with her and grabbed her butt back, tightly grasping her cheek.

"H-Hey!" She got even more embarrassed. "If you continue like this, I'm going to eat you up!"

She quickly started kissing my neck and biting it playfully, without hurting.

"Nom, nom, nom!"

"Hehehe, stop it!"

As I played with her, I heard Pyuku and Nephilim talking with one another about the words, until they finally got a clue.

"I think we got it… I didn't know Nephilim knew how to read these words as well! Was a huge help at deciphering some phrases." Said Pyuku.

"No problem, I'm here to serve and help in any issue." Nephilim said with a gentle and serviceable smile.

"So? What does it say?" I asked.

"Yeah, yeah?" Aquarina asked, grabbing my hips.

"Well…"

Pyuku started to read it slowly. It wasn't much, but what it revealed was quite shocking.

"This is what it says…" Pyuku said. "Unbeknownst to us… the sun's curse… catastrophe… the children of mana. T-That's all, but it feels cryptic…"

"The sun's curse, catastrophe, children of mana? And it seems they didn't know something…" I wondered. "Could the catastrophe and the sun's curse be related with the ruins blowing up?"

"Maybe?" Aquarina said. "Though, Children of Mana rings some bells, I wonder where I have heard this word..."

"That is the general name that all the tribes that the gods created." Nephilim clarified. "Meaning, all of you, elves, humans, dwarves, anima, slimes, and more."

Ding!

[You have found one of the clues!]
