Chapter 3.5: Canaan's Side (1)

"Ow, ow, ow! Gods, it feels like I'm about to snap in half!" Soon after my unexpected encounter with Leo I was rolling on the floor of my lair in excruciating pain. "Virgo! What the hell were you thinking?! 'Just let me handle it.' Handle my ass! That Over Accel nearly murdered me with the recoil!"

"Quit your whining. All your sliced tendons, broken bones, and crushed organs are right as rain now, aren't they? Thanks to me, no less. I see no problem here."

"You moron! That doesn't mean it didn't hurt like hell! And it still does!"

The orb paused, then sighed as if mocking me.

"You really think you can take Leo like this?"

My lair was near the town of Finoy, in the kingdom of Eris. To be more exact, it was under the mithril mine near Finoy, and we were on the bottom floor of my dungeon. It was a labyrinth fifty floors deep, filled with all of the curse-infused traps I could manage to make. Our goal was simple: lure Leo inside and defeat him. That was all I and this "Virgo" orb wanted.

"I needed to restock my catalysts, but going outside was a bad idea. I can't believe I ran into Leo, of all people... Looks like we can't use that portal to the peak anymore. I'll shut it down right away."

"Good thing there's multiple exits. How many do we have left?"

"About two, I think? The one that leads to Finoy and the one that opens out onto the plains near the kingdom's capital. I do want to create one or two more going forward, though."

"Going forward?"

"Wh-what? Is there something wrong with that?"

The screeching pain I felt all over had finally calmed down. I got up and sat on my bed, putting Virgo on my lap.

"If we want to beat Leo, we're going to have to build up the dungeon a little more. I-I want some more exits to make it easier to get catalysts and have emergency escape routes. D-do you...have a problem with that?"

"Ah...no, you're right. You got a point there."

"I-I'm right? Yeesh. Y-you made me think I messed up or something."

"Sorry about that."

Virgo did something rare for him: apologize. Apologize, and fall silent. He really was a strange orb, with a strong will and even stronger power. I found him about three months ago, when I'd slinked back into the castle after losing to Leo. I'd happened to dig him out of the bottom of the dungeon I was quietly working on underground. I still knew nothing about him other than my assumption that he was a Wisdom Stone, as Leo suspected.

Or rather, it wouldn't make sense if he wasn't. He fully healed me from the brink of death and imbued me with many times the magic power I'd had previously, and I still felt great power pulsing from him. It was as though he had unlimited energy. If this was not a Wisdom Stone, what was?

And for some reason, Virgo wanted to fight with Leo.
