Chapter 19
Simon took out two lanterns from the subspace. He held one and made the skeleton hold the other.
“Let’s go.”
The skeleton took the lead, and Simon followed.
When he entered the ruins, there was only darkness. The chill from the stone floor seemed to work its way through the feet into the legs.
There was no such thing as railings, so he moved carefully, thinking that it’d be instant death if he fell.
‘This is……’
As he went down the stairs, he saw indecipherable characters carved on the wall.
But somehow, the letters were familiar.
‘Have I seen it recently?’
Simon thoroughly retraced his memory.
‘Right, the ancient rune!’
It was similar to the ancient rune that Eric explained during the Epidemiology of Jet-Black class.
‘Then is this an ancient ruin? Why is a place like this located near Kizen?’
Bringing up the countless unanswered questions, Simon continued to descend.
Tap.
Finally, he went down all the stairs and hit the floor. He must’ve descended quite deep as he couldn’t see the ceiling, even if he held up the lantern.
There was a need to broaden the scope of the
Simon bit his lip, concerned. Pier laughed as he walked around Simon.
[Are you afraid? Are you frightened? What are you considering in front of strength, Boy?!]
It was still an unknown ability, even if it was once said to be his father’s power.
Simon didn’t know what the Legion was, what the road filled with blood meant, the terms of the contract, or what kind of handicap he’d carry.
However,
“I want to ask you something.”
A question came back instead of an answer. Pier’s face wrinkled in displeasure.
[Speak.]
“I don’t know what kind of use you’ll be. Is that thing called the Legion strong?
Halt.
Pier’s steps stopped.
[P… Puhuhuhuhuhu! Puhuh! Buhuhu! Bwahahahahahahaha!]
Blare!
The air reverberated and dirt was falling from the ceiling.
Usefulness! A usefulness!
This boy wasn’t lost because of doubts and fears. How dare he ‘evaluate’ the Legion?!
[That’s a great question, Human! Strong? Shall I destroy the Kizen if you wish?]
Grooooooooow!
The mournful cries of the dead resounded everywhere. It was a terrible sight, but Simon’s expression didn’t change an inch.
[Alright! I’ll answer your question!]
Pier withdrew his strength and said,
[Your father has already disbanded the Legion once! And I was sealed here! And by waking me, the keeper, up again, the Legion experienced the ‘first moment’.
“First moment?”
[That’s right! But if we gather the forces of the scattered Legion and restore the former forces again,]
The corner of Pier’s lips rose.
[No one on this continent would be able to stop you.]
“Alright.”
Simon nodded his head.
“I’ll make a contract with you.”
[Kuhehehehehe!]
Pier wrapped his arm around Simon’s waist and jumped up to the top of the altar.
[Put your hands on my ‘core’!]
Pier’s ribs opened and a mass of jet-black mana appeared from within, beating like a heart.
Simon obediently placed his hands on it.
[When this contract is made, your life will completely be changed! Are you not afraid?!]
“There’s nothing to be afraid of.”
Simon spoke calmly.
“If you people really are the Legion of my father, then it’s natural for me to retrieve you.”
[Kuhahahahahahaha! Great! That’s the spirit!]
On the surface, he was an ordinary boy who seemed calm and humble, but the qualities of an overlord were shown at times.
‘You raised a son well, Richard! This guy is different from you!’

His dark magic proficiency at the moment seemed low, but he had tremendous potential. And, unlike Richard, his consciousness and emotion were established well. A completed being in the mental aspect.
Pier was quite satisfied with this boy.
[I’ll proceed with the contract now! Don’t die, Simon Polentia!]
