Chapter 95

Epherene looked in the direction Adult Epherene was pointing but could see nothing in the dark hallway.

At least, there seemed to be nothing.

In a low voice, she asked, “We might die? Why?”

“We’re under serious danger right now, due to which the entire Locralen area was decided to be abolished in year 964. However, the execution of it has been delayed time and time again.”

“Serious danger?”

“Yes. Did you know that it was a meteorite that caused Locralen?”

“I just recently learned about that.”

“The microbes that meteorite contained absorb mana, using it as a supplement to become powerful monsters that devour timelines. If they manage to escape this place and reach the outside world, they’ll destroy the continent.”

Adult Epherene’s expression grew so serious even her younger version was surprised by the sudden change in her mood.

“Scientifically named as ‘Kaidezite,’ they swallow the past, present, and future and merge them all into a single time frame. I call it ‘interval repetition.’”

Epherene grew dizzy upon hearing such information. Adult Epherene immediately supported her, puffing up her cheeks apologetically.

“I’m sorry. That knowledge’s from the distant future, so it must’ve been a bit too heavy for you. I can shoulder this meeting’s mana cost, but there’s nothing I can do to support your mental power.”

“Yeah…”

Epherene fiddled with her temples and looked at Deculein. He seemed to be fine.

“… How is that professor okay?”

“That professor?”

Deculein narrowed his eyes at her.

“Oh, I’m sorry. How are you okay?”

“As I said, it’s caused by his mental power. Simply put, an individual with a mental power of 50 will consume 50% less mana when listening to knowledge about the future. Likewise, those with a mental power of 10 will reduce their mana consumption by 10%. In that regard, Professor Deculein’s mental power is probably 99.”

“It isn’t 99… That aside, let’s head outside. As you said, it’s dangerous here.”

Adult Epherene shook her head.

“No. I have to stay here and stop them.”
