Chapter 933: They were here as well
Even the one that we had obtained from the Midra Kingdom before didn't look like this crystal.
In the center of the crystal was this black mass that seemed to be swirling around. With the way that it was moving, it seemed like some kind of black cloud that was condensed in the center of this crystal.
There was no real way to describe it, but it did seem like it was alive...
Almost like some kind of worm that was crawling around inside of the crystal.
After being stunned by this crystal, I grabbed it firmly in my hand and held it tight as I tried to absorb whatever was inside of the crystal.
But I found that other than the demonic energy that was leaking out, there was no way to absorb the black thing that was inside of this crystal. It almost seemed like this black thing wasn't just energy, but instead was some kind of matter.
There was no way of getting to this black thing since we couldn't break the crystal in the first place.
At the same time, there was no telling what would happen if the black thing inside of the crystal was released, so it wasn't as if we wanted to even break the crystal.
So the only thing that could be done was put this crystal in a special box and hope that it wouldn't do anything. At the very least, it didn't seem to be releasing any demonic energy after I drained it of the demonic energy that it had.
But there was still that black thing that was inside of the crystal.
What had changed in just a little bit that there would be this kind of crystal formed?
It wasn't just that crystal alone, it was also the Orc King.
Or rather the strange transformation that the Orc King did at the very end...
It seemed that there were far more mysteries concerning this crystal than we thought.
But for now...
The fact that this happened here meant that it was impossible for the same thing to happen in the different parts of the former Midra Kingdom's land.
It was clear that the longer that this was put off, the more dangerous things became. While it was unknown just how things would develop, it was clear that they would keep developing unless they were taken care of.
There was a bit of regret that filled us over not having dealt with this sooner.
It was clear that if we had dealt with this before, then things wouldn't have become as bad as this.
But at the very least, we could still depend on the wyverns to clean up the mess.
As long as we had the wyverns, we would be able to take care of any monsters that appeared regardless of what kind of monsters they were. Even if they were evolved variants of normal monsters, it should be easy to take care of them with the wyverns.
Though the real problem was that the same thing with the Orc King happened with the other monsters.
A Wolf King that was covered in black energy appeared in one forest.
A Goblin King that swelled up just like the Orc King appeared in another forest.
There were all kinds of different bosses that seemed to be drawing on the power of the crystal that appeared.
Though they were still no match for the wyverns that we brought with us.
Klein just used the same tactic where he bombarded down all of the bosses that we faced.
In the face of these flame breaths, the bosses really weren't able to do a single thing.
They could only accept the baptism by fire before being turned to ashes.
Each time that we finished off a boss, we would find the same thing.
After draining the area of the demonic energy, we would find a crystal that seemed to have something inside of it. However, not all of the crystals had the same black thing inside of it like the first crystal we found.
There was this blue thing that was inside of the one that the Wolf King was guarding.
There was a green thing inside of the one that the Goblin King was guarding.
It really seemed like they changed based on what kind of monster was present, but that still didn't explain what these things inside of these crystals were. It even added more confusion as none of us had a single idea what these crystals were.
"Just what is going on here..." I couldn't help muttering to myself as I held the crystals in my hand, looking at the strange coloured things inside of them.
But I was interrupted by...
"Your majesty, there are people that are here."
Klein suddenly spoke up which had brought me out of my thoughts.
I looked up at him and then followed his eyes to look at what he was looking at.
I wasn't surprised to see the things that were down there below us since we had already expected to find these things.
During this time, we had already found clues that they would be here, so we weren't surprised at all that they were here.
Since we had already encountered them in our own territory, it was only natural that we would encounter them here.
After all, they were the ones that were responsible for planting these crystals in the first place.
Down below us, hiding in the forest were a group of dark elves.
These dark elves thought that they were completely hidden, but they didn't know that we were watching from above.
This was the last place that needed to be cleared out, so it was only natural that this was the place that they would gather since there was someone removing the crystals.
It was what had happened back then and it was happening now.
"Make sure that you capture all of them." I calmly said to Klein. Klein just gave a simple nod in response.
