'You said that this artifact once used to be real… your words seem to imply that it doesn't exist anymore…'
[Why do you think fairies that could simply be born out of nowhere using that artifact ended up going nearly extinct?]
[Their main source of life, the 'Fountain of Elemental Life,' was destroyed in a conflict that happened much earlier than the thousand-year war…]
'You mean that their population had started to deteriorate from the very beginning of the thousand-year war!?'
'No wonder they nearly went extinct… not only there were no new births for nearly a thousand years, they were even actively targeted by both demons and other races…'
Looking at Lyria and Miria, smiling happily as they greeted the other fairies present around the fountain, Lia could only shake her head in helplessness.
'I kind of understand now why all awakeners dislike raiding dungeons that mimic the past…'
