They had finally moved forward with the objective they had been planning for a long time.
Now that Karol was in the air, flying with all the inhabitants of the village toward the S-rank dungeon.
Ryan noticed as the clouds began to turn dark.
And then, the rain arrived without warning.
First, it was just scattered drops striking the dry forest floor, but then the clouds suddenly closed in and the water began to fall with a force that made it difficult to see more than a few meters ahead.
Ryan looked up at the sky for a moment and then lowered his gaze again.
'I have a bad feeling about this...'
Runa held out the relic with both hands, as if the object weighed far more than it appeared to.
Ryan took it and observed it for a moment. It was small, about the size of a medal, with a short chain; in the center sat a transparent gem, completely empty, reflecting the rain like a broken mirror.
It didn't look like much for what it was supposedly capable of doing.
