With a light in her hand, Kahelonay slowly descends the stairs. I deploy the Scroll of Transcription just in case, and step into the basement after her with the Pendulum Dowsing in my left hand.

The staircase itself, though old-fashioned, is wide and gently sloping. The staircase is straight ahead.

The staircase is straight...perhaps it was built to make it easier to move the body in and out. There is nothing unnatural about this place. There are no strong reactions in the levels of magical elements.

The long staircase ends in an open hall. A statue of the goddess Aleithra is placed in front of the hall, looking down at us with her three faces.

"?"

I look up at the statue and mutter. The face of the goddess in front of the statue was not a face of , indicating anger, nor a face of , indicating love, but a somewhat detached and cold expression.

"Yes. The goddess Alaisra has three faces, , but her gaze is always fair toward those who face death. It is said that the Goddess Aleithra evaluates equally the merits and demerits of both the meritorious and the sinners. She will mediate their merits and demerits with the other gods who rule the afterlife.

Kaheronay explains in the tone of a devout layman.

"This way. Just up ahead is the room where Gaan's body was enshrined."

Kahelonay showed us the passage leading from behind the central statue of the goddess Aleithra.

In addition to the stairs we descended, there were three other passages leading out from the hall, and Kahelonay led the way to one of them.

I followed her, bypassing the statue of the goddess Aleithra.

Just as I was about to pass by the statue of the goddess Aleithra.

A feeling of presence comes to me suddenly.

A tingling sensation runs through my right hand.

It is a mixture of witchcraft and magic.

Reflexively, he jumps back to the side from where he was standing and distances himself from the statue.

While still in a landing position, he hurriedly checks his surroundings.

Out of the corner of your eye, you catch a glimpse of a bluish-white light in the shadow of the statue.

He deploys the scrolls that he has taken out of his pocket with all his might. He pulls out a knife and holds it in his opposite hand.

Rust, what the...

"Kahelonay, get away!"

I gave a hasty order and, keeping a vigilant stance, slowly made my way around to check the area shaded by the statue of the goddess Aleithra.
