235. Dimension Rift (2)
I saw a terrifying future.
The Lichtenburg Mansion was full of people.
As I hurriedly ran through the crowd, I found that a corner of the mansion had collapsed.
When I asked about the situation, the answer was that a purple flash suddenly appeared and swallowed Schluse…
“Ha ha······ ha······ ha ha······.”
Iris, who came to her senses, immediately deployed a communication magic spell.
I had to tell Schluse about this right away.
What I just saw is the future only 20 minutes later.
Considering the time it took to get from the Flechette Mansion to the Lichtenburg Mansion, the incident occurred less than three minutes from now.
– There is a risk. Come out right now
It was advantageous to send short sentences for encrypted communication.
Still, I thought that this was intuitive enough.
If it were Schluss, he would understand right away and run away from the Lichtenburg Mansion.
I didn’t know the identity of the purple flash, but I believed that I could deal with it just by at least informing Schluss of the possibility of a crisis.
“The coachman! To Lichtenburg! Hurry up!”
“Okay, ma’am.”
Iris, who hurriedly got on the carriage, soothed his nervousness by rubbing his fingernails.
This is none other than Schluss Heinkel.
If you don’t know the future, even if you’re in vain, you’ll calmly defeat everyone if you know.
Schlus Heinkel was such a man.
The kind of man who passes through seemingly insurmountable crises casually.
So he didn’t have to worry too much.
It must have been.
“We have arrived, young lady! If you jump out alone…”
As soon as her carriage stopped, Iris grabbed her skirt and jumped off and started running.
There were not yet crowds of people in front of the mansion.
It seemed that they had arrived before the commotion spread.
Iris, who was running towards the front door-
“Oh.”
I looked up at the mansion and froze.
On the far left of the mansion, the wall was shattered as if it had been eaten.
The thing has already happened.
Then what happened to Schluss?
“Erika!”
“Iris…?”
I could see Erica trudging through the front door.
Her eyes were out of focus.
For some reason, the face looks devastated.
For a moment, Iris felt as if her heart was sinking.
Erica gave a signal to her guards, and soon the iron door opened and Iris was able to enter.
“What happened?”
“Schluss… Schluss suddenly disappeared.”
“He suddenly disappeared Nyo?”
“Suddenly, a purple fissure formed and swallowed Schluse in the room. He disappeared without a trace.”
“·······.”
Iris was speechless.
She knew that the collapsed walls were, of course, traces of a fierce battle.
But she suddenly swallowed the schluss and annihilated them?
You made it impossible for Schluss Heinkel to escape?
She couldn’t believe it at all.
“And Yulia too…”
“Yes? What about Yulia?”
“Because Schluss went to pick up Yulia. She’s the fastest… So he said he’d take her with him to evacuate. Then she disappeared together…”
“Ah.”
“No, it can’t be like this. The barrier has never been breached. Nothing has been affected by the observation spell. Really, why? What the hell…”
Erica collapsed, her tears streaming down her face.
She could spot Mrs. Lichtenburg sitting behind her, with a stunned face on her face.
It was only then that Iris realized what she had done.
If left unattended, only Schluss would have disappeared, and because he informed her of her future, he made Yulia disappear as well.
“I’m sorry. Because of me. Because of me…”
Schlus Heinkel has been eliminated.
By an unprecedented enemy in history who completely ignores even the highest level barriers and observation techniques.
In an instant, Iris felt as if her eyes were closed.
***
It was a strange feeling.
The dark world revealed through the cracks was approaching me, and it felt as if I was being sucked into it.
The moment I was sucked into it, I immediately relied on my touch and hugged Yulia even tighter.
Because of the mana vacuum state, both eyes and ears were blocked.
We floated around as if we were in a state of weightlessness in the void of empty dimensions.
If I lose Yulia here, it will be the end.
With that thought, it seems that I held onto the slender Yulia’s waist so hard that it broke.
I’m guessing Yulia is screaming in pain by now.
‘The ability to split dimensions…’
It was not difficult to infer the identity of this ability.
To attack the inside of the Lichtenburg Mansion, you must pass through all the multiple barriers.
However, the breakage of the barrier was not detected at all, and even the alarm of the observation technique did not sound.
Ordinary people might be suspicious of crows like Henderson who quietly pierced even the barriers of the imperial palace.
However, as a writer, I know very well that this was possible because of the cooperation within the Imperial Palace.
Even if the opponent is a demon, what just happened is physically impossible.
In terms of ‘physical’.
‘The sword that cuts through dimensions. Is it Durandal?’
Of course, if you divide the dimension, the story changes.
If you create a crack in space-time itself, you will be able to freely move in and out, ignoring all barriers and nakedness.
You can wrap me up and send me to the otherworld of this mana vacuum.
But the most annoying thing is that the owner of the Durandal is Tilpitz, a demon.
Why did Tilpitz blow me here?
Is there anything like a chance to get here?
‘No way…’
No matter how hard I tried to roll her head, I couldn’t come to the conclusion that Till Fitz blew me up to kill me.
I even gave Durandal a try to impress Tilpitz.
But you banished me to the other world with that Durandal?
It was so absurd that I was almost laughing out loud.
If I had known this would happen, I would have taken Durandal.
Ah, that’s right. The lake where Durandal was located was strongly acidic, so he died just by entering it…
‘·······?’
Tuk-tuk.
Julia gently touched my face with her fingers.
Then he grabbed my hand and tried to point it in one direction.
I don’t know what she’s talking about or what she’s doing, but first I looked in the direction Yulia told me to look.
‘Huh?’
I saw something over there.
I could see the magic wave shimmering faintly.
The moment I saw it, I recognized its identity.
It was an exit.
I don’t know where the exit leads to, but at least that place is much better than the gap in the empty dimension where there is nothing.
We had to go that way somehow, but the problem was that our direction was slightly skewed.
I can’t use magic because there’s no mana around to engrave the spell.
‘Huh?’
At the moment I was in trouble, Yulia grabbed my hand and put it on my chest.
I quickly figured out what that meant.
If you don’t have mana to draw a spell nearby, you can engrave it on a person.
To a person whose whole body is full of mana.
‘Can I do it?’
My hands were shaking.
Is this really the only way?
There was no way that magic that borrowed a person’s blood vessel would have a good effect on the target.
What if I use my body?
There is a high probability of failure.
Because the internal circuitry of my body is too dense.
On the other hand, Yulia’s was simple and hadn’t been trained at all, so it was in perfect condition to engrave spells.
‘There is no time for hesitation.’
If you are a little late, you will miss it.
There is no guarantee that another exit will reappear before we die of starvation, and it is possible that no more exits will appear in the first place.
So I had to use magic right now.
‘I’m sorry.’
I groped Yulia’s elbow to find her veins, and pressed hard to cut them.
The circuitry within it and the core of the heart were clearly visible to me.
Suddenly, it occurred to me that the core of Yulia’s internal circuit was similar to mine.
There was no time for useless thoughts.
I hurriedly carved a gravity spell into it.
In an instant, the injected magical power activated the spell normally, and we immediately turned around and started heading towards the exit.
‘Enter.’
When I got close enough, I felt like I was being sucked into the exit.
In an instant, my eyes and ears were opened.
From noble mtl dot com.
It was fortunate that at least mana existed in this world.
“Where is this… Billion.”
“Huh?!”
As soon as it became light everywhere, she got hit hard on her tailbone.
She fell to the floor first with her buttocks.
Still, where did he not fall while crushing Yulia?
I let out a sigh of relief after seeing that Yulia was safe.
“Whoa… Do you have a sore spot?”
“I’m fine. What about Mr. Schlus?”
“Me too.”
“I fell almost from the height of the third floor…”
“·······.”
When I tried to get up, my lower body was numb.
I’m tired.
I immediately bought a low-level recovery potion from the shop and drank it in one gulp.
Perhaps it’s because it hasn’t been long since it was broken, but it was able to recover cleanly with low-level recovery medicine.
[Shop]
[Items can be purchased using shop coins.]
[Owned coins: 0]
‘This is a scolding.’
After purchasing the recovery medicine, the store coins were exhausted.
On the day the vertebrae were shattered again, like just now, he would be crippled.
If I knew it would be like this, I would have practiced recovery magic a long time ago.
I felt very relieved even though I made a marriage contract with an automatic recovery medicine vending machine.
“Where are you?”
“You look very calm?”
“I was very surprised at first. But Schluss handled it very well without saying a word and with an expressionless expression even in that dark space… That’s why I guess I calmed down as well.”
With my eyes and ears deaf, I look like such a machine.
Actually, I was very confused inside because I was embarrassed.
Still, it was fortunate that it helped calm Yulia down.
“Oh yeah… Let’s start by figuring out where we are. I don’t know at all.”
“Sobbing?!”
I picked up Yulia and got up.
Then, a panoramic view of a green meadow with a breeze blowing spread out.
It was a very peaceful atmosphere.
However, I couldn’t see any buildings or people, not even a bunch of livestock.
Is this an uninhabited area?
“I feel like this scene is familiar to me.”
“That’s interesting. I just thought of that too.”
If Yulia and I both felt it at the same time, it wouldn’t be déjà vu.
Of course, it’s not even a view of the real world.
Then, in my novel, it’s a panoramic view somewhere on the continent.
Did you come back through the exit?
I’m glad then.
“Shu, Mr. Schluss. Excuse me…”
“Huh?”
Yulia trembled and pointed behind me.
The moment I turned my head and saw her there, I was speechless.
“Uh…”
Breaked down walls.
A huge city in ruins.
It was evident that the city had long since collapsed, as the ruins were covered with moss and ivy.
But the problem, the biggest problem of all-
“That’s the system.”
“Yes…”
Looking here and there, the ruined city was the capital of the Freyja Empire, where I had dinner just now.
