The Pinnacle of Life

Alex looked down and saw some kind of scarlet writing on the green slab of rock at the Shoraionji Temple’s entrance…

[Alex, it’s been a month. You have been missing for a month. None of us knows your situation, but I believe you are undoubtedly still alive. The neighborhood of the small temple is no longer safe. Some trialists appeared and targeted us, so we plan to return to our previous residence first. If you see this message, come and meet us quickly.]

In other words, this writing was left behind one month after Alex and the Mystic Maiden entered Shoraionji Temple, and it had been two years and eleven months since then. It was too dangerous for them to be targeted by the trialists at that time. So, he wondered how they were now.

Anxiety overwhelmed Alex.

However, some other writing appeared on the green slab of rock.

[An entire year has passed. Are you still fine? I miss you so much! The trialists destroyed the cave and hunted us down for a whole year. Fortunately, we all are still alive. Those trialists who hunted us down are dead. We plan to head south. I heard that an ancient city with countless opportunities has appeared in the south. When I get a little stronger, I’ll definitely come back to demolish this ruined temple]

[Hubby, I’m here again. It’s been two and a half years since your disappearance, but I still couldn’t break open the door of this ruined temple. Many powerful corpse soldiers appeared in the ancient city in the south, and each of them had bone patterns other than red ones. Lowe Henderson is dead. He died because of me. I’m ashamed to face the Henderson family. Shirley is gravely injured and lost one hand. This place is no longer safe. The corpse soldiers of the ancient city have come out, so we plan to head east. If you still can come out and see these words, be extra careful… I’ll be waiting for you, Daya!]

There were three messages in total. The most recent one was written half a year ago. Then, there was no further message.
