Cale quietly observed the fear in Cotton's eyes.

'Why is she so scared that Gersey is chasing us?’

Eruhaben started to speak as Cale remained quiet.

“Will we need to capture Gersey?”

Cotton shook her head.

“That is not a good idea, sir.”

She was speaking respectfully to the ancient Dragon.

“Based on Gersey’s personality, he would have immediately contacted the White Star after suppressing my subordinates. He will only enter the underground passage after doing that. He does not make rash movements. He is the thorough type.”

Eruhaben understood the meaning behind those words.

“You're saying that it is better to destroy this place before the White Star comes rather than handling Gersey?”

“Yes, sir, that’s right.”

Cotton took a map out of her pocket.

“In order to destroy the cave, it is best to destroy it from the innermost area.”

She looked at the map as she started to walk to the inner area of the cave.

No, she was running.

“The third location is the most important place, so it is most effective to destroy that spot!”

Not getting all this dead mana was a pity, but it was not a facility that needed to be destroyed.

It was at that moment.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

They heard noises coming from the top of the stairs.

“…It must be Gersey's trusted subordinates! Hurry up!”

She became anxious and started to move even faster.

“Aaaaah!”

She suddenly felt as if her body was starting to float up.

Her two feet actually did leave the ground.

“What the hell?”

She looked toward Cale who was now next to her.

"We need to go quickly if we need to hurry. We’ll be late if we ran.”

There were whirlwinds at the tips of Cale's feet and her feet.

Bud and Eruhaben looked ready to quickly shoot forward as well.

Cotton looked down at her feet for a moment before nodding her head.

“Okay! I'll guide you!”

She started to move even faster.

Cale was up there next to her.

His eyes observed the numerous glass containers full of dead mana.

He could feel the numerous lives that were lost in order to create this much dead mana.

‘That is why I need to completely destroy this facility.’

Cale made up his mind as he started to speak.

“Why are you in such a rush? You seem extremely scared.”

Cotton stopped biting down on her lips.

“…I told you that the third location was the most important, right? I also said I have proof that is the case.”

“Yes.”

Boom. Boom. Boom.

They could still hear people rushing down behind them.

Who the hell were Gersey's trusted subordinates that they were making so much noise heading down?

Cale noticed a wall and door at the end of the glass containers.

Cotton started to speak while looking at that door.

“We received dead mana from many places.”

“The Mogoru Empire?”

“Yes, The Mogoru Empire was one of those places.”

Bud asked in shock.

“You received it from other places too?”

Cotton started to frown as she turned her head toward Bud.

“I don’t have time to explain all of that right now!”

She looked at the map over and over as she continued to speak.

“The underground facility was created when the white castle was created. I participated in its creation, but the innermost area of this facility… I couldn’t hear anything about the third location.”

Cale's expression turned odd.

He had heard that it took a long time between the beginning of the Endable Kingdom's construction and the end.

But the Deputy Chief Priest who seemed to be in her twenties had participated in all of it and was still alive?

‘…I guess I can't trust her appearance.’

Cale finally fully understood that she was an illusionist.

“I did think that it was an important place at first, but I didn’t suspect anything after that.”

Cale focused on what Cotton had to say again.

"But once our grasp on the Mogoru Empire ended, Gersey started to enter the third location very frequently.”

“It hasn’t been that long then.”

“Haaaaa.”

Cale could see Cotton sighing in response.

She quietly looked at Cale and responded.

“Was it short even if 24 lives disappeared every day?”

“…What?”

Cale's face stiffened as Cotton started to speak faster.

“It happens every eight hours. Gersey brings his trusted subordinates with him and brings 'feed’ to the third facility.”

“That ‘feed’ was humans?”

“…Sometimes it was humans, but there were other living beings as well. Regardless of their origin, they brought eight living beings three times a day.”

Cotton who was extremely sensitive to Gersey's movements and had been observing his daily routine had picked up on this odd routine at some point.

“How did you know that if you can’t go to that area?”

"His subordinates find the feed from outside. Gersey isn’t with them at that time.”

It seemed that although Gersey was always with his subordinates to come in here and deliver the feed to the third location, only his subordinates went out to find the feed.

“Once I figured that out, I cast an illusion and stealthily followed them once.”

Cotton let out a small sigh.

“I heard one of the subordinates talking at that time. He’s the only one of Gersey’s trusted subordinates who can talk. This is what that bastard said.”
