“The rumbling has stopped,” Catalyna said.

“Seems that way,” Kari agreed.

It had been about fifteen minutes since the rumbling had begun, which had been so bad that it felt as if this very realm was being shaken apart. A number of avian Demon Beasts had flown by their campsite overhead. None of the Demon Beasts seemed to notice them, though. It was more than likely they were fleeing from whatever had caused that shaking.

“What do you suppose that was about?” asked Catalyna.

Kari shrugged. “I don’t have the faintest idea, though if you consider what happened to us, it’s possible that the cause of this was a very large Demon Beast.”

“I have heard a rumor that there was an A-Rank Demon Beast that made an area west of here its territory,” Ander added helpfully. “However, I don’t think it was ever verified. It was just a rumor.”

Kari shivered at the idea of an A-Rank Demon Beast living near this mountain. The very thought caused her blood to freeze.

A-Rank Demon Beasts were creatures of incredible power that not even an entire battalion of Nevarian Spiritualists could defeat. That her mother and fathers had defeated one spoke of their prowess. Only Spiritualists who had attained a vast amount of power could stand up to an A-Rank Demon Beast and live to tell about it.

“Whatever the case may be, now that the shaking has stopped, perhaps we can explore these ruins,” Finn suggested with a polite smile.

“Yes, I suppose you are correct,” Catalyna said. “Let’s head inside now.”

Upon passing through the archway, Kari and the others were cast in darkness, though not for long. Kari rotated her right hand in a circle, generating a small sphere of light that cast away several meters’ worth of darkness. It revealed a somewhat dingy interior that was a dozen times larger than a normal hallway. Like everything else, this place appeared to have been made for giants.

“Nifty ability.” Catalyna hummed in approval. “Fire affinity Spiritualists have something similar, but this light ball looks like it was almost made for illuminating dark places.”

Kari shrugged her shoulders as the sphere floated a few centimeters above her palm, which she moved in concentric circles to keep power flowing into it. “The light element is light-based, so we have a wide variety of useful Spiritual Light Techniques aside from ones that are only used for attack and defense.”

“I’ll bet. Anyway, let’s explore a bit.”

With Kari taking the lead, the group walked through the first room, which appeared to be a large entrance hall. As she swept her light around to illuminate the area, she spotted the walls. They were large and appeared to have been carved from the stone in the mountain. Each wall looked like a mural, which depicted the same figures as those giant statues. Many of the depictions had these figures fighting against strange monsters that she’d never seen before. They looked almost like the bastard children of a human and a Demon Beast.

Something else she noticed about these ruins was how large they were.
