Chapter 7 β Anima Temple
Because Iβm being chased.
They keep chasing me hard.
Earth Dog x3, Earth Dog Leader x1.
I throw the poison spear.
It seems I hit one of them.
Its speed slows down and it withdraws.
Earth Dog x2, Earth Dog leader x1.
I could gain some time if I hide in other tree holes, butβ¦
Unfortunately, I donβt see any tree holesβ¦
I have found them easily until now.
When I look forward, I see a door of some artificial structure for the first time.
I appraise it while running.

Description: A sacred place governing over the life and death.

Although I donβt understand it well, it looks good.
Anyway, letβs take refuge in there.
There may be people inside.
I wonder if I can find my sanctuary there.
I knock on the door, but it wonβt open.
γItβs necessary to consume skill points in order to enter the templeγ
Is this a theme park or something?
But, if it means entering a safe place.
γI understand. Thatβs alright. Use themγ
γThe present amount of skill points is 100γ
γConsuming 100 skill pointsγ
The next moment, the door opened.γ
In any case, letβs evacuate.
When I enter, the door closes and the Earth Dogs collide with the door.
I look around restlessly.
Unlike everything else, this is artificialβ¦
Itβs considerably old buildingβ¦
As the name implies, it surely has a holy atmosphere.
The air is clear, totally different from the cave.
Anyway, letβs look around.
Dust dances with my every step.
Nobody may have come here in a while.
Itβs quite large, I hardly think that humans would build something so enormous.
In reality, it looks like a huge version of Parthenon.
When I advance further, I came across a cliff-like place.
I see floating lights similar to fireflies at the very bottom.
Magically beautiful⦠I feel very sacred aura.
I look at the lights and appraise them.
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
No information available.
This didnβt happen until now.
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Nothing is displayed after all.
No way⦠did Appraisal-san break?
I appraise the buildingβs floor immediately.
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Description: A sacred place governing over the life and death.
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Appraisal-san didnβt break.
It seems that those floating lights are special.
Because itβs so magical, I can agree with theγ?γ.
But this place, an Anima Temple, huhβ¦
If Iβm not mistaken, it should have a meaning of life or soul or something like that in Latin.
Because itβs a word with many meanings, would a feminine principle as present in the male unconscious be right?
Because I donβt know the link between the reality and this place, it may have a totally different meaning.
However, if it had that meaningβ¦
Wouldnβt the floating lights at the bottom be peopleβs souls?
The Anima Templeβs description isγA sacred place governing over the life and deathγafter all.
If thatβs the case, then this sacred place is slightly scary.
The unclear space of life and death is chilling my heart.
I thnk that a place of life and death would be an endgame content in a game.
If that were the case, it would be a place of last boss fight.
You would fight and beat the boss.
Iβm just a baby after reincarnation, though?
Is it alright for me to be here?
γHohoho, it has been a while since anyone came here,Β ja nouγ
I heard a voice from behind all of sudden.
