chapter 134
134 – Clash
Removed the cause of the canyon’s suspicious fog.
And the suppression of the rebellion in the royal town is complete.
It was a telegram sent to Veronica’s smartwatch.
“That’s fast.”
“Yes. The canyon side is said to have been in a rather difficult situation… Fortunately, Miss Selina was active and it seems to have ended quickly.”
“Are you Selina?”
“I heard it was a neat finish?”
“…Really?”
To be honest, I never thought that Selina could become the main character from that member.
I was a bit surprised, but…
‘That’s great.’
Since Selina has been losing her confidence lately,
With this incident as an opportunity, she hoped that she would return to her former self, which was more confident.
And.
“I think it’s over the hill?”
“That’s right. There’s a barrier subtly placed to prevent the mana waves from leaking out…”
Certainly, she was so well hidden that it was hard to find even within the illusion until she came this far.
But beyond what I found,
The barrier that surrounds this empty lot only looks more suspicious.
“… Shall we break it down?”
“Hmm…”
– Cheo-eok.
Let’s touch the barrier of Veronicage.
-Giying!!!
With the sound of something resonating,
A huge magic circle appeared and began to push each other while rubbing against the barrier.
“It’s just a solid barrier. There’s no trigger to activate it by forcefully breaking it.”
“Then…”
Remedy.
As soon as Veronica’s words are finished,
Adela started walking out in front of the barrier.
Nod.
As soon as Veronica stepped behind her,
She drew the sword and lightly drew it down.
-Sueung!
A quiet swing that doesn’t even sound like wind pressure.
That sword was like Jade’s last swordsmanship that I saw a long time ago through Leah’s memories.
-Damn it!!!!
“Wow…!!”
“As expected, it is the sword of Merveus.”
… The feeling of cutting off Professor Kamir at that time still lingers on my fingertips.
‘…Can I reach that level someday?’
It’s not completely absurd,
I feel even more sorrowful because it was a state I had experienced before.
Whether or not I fall for that sensibility,
The party went through the cracks in the barrier.
-… Rai?
Belatedly coming to my senses at Leah’s voice, I also walked into the barrier in a gasp.
Then…
“…Oh my God.”
– Wooooo!!!
Gate?
No, it’s not a gate…
– Woo woo woo woo woo!!!
It was too big.
“Nonsense…”
“The color of the gate…?”
No matter how different the size of the gate,
The minimum and maximum sizes are fixed to some extent.
I went to several gates as Cluane’s party helper the other day,
Among them, even the large gate that said, ‘Today’s gate is huge,’ was less than half of the gate in front of me.
And it wasn’t just the size that was unusual.
The color of the gate.
It was usually black and in the shape of a broken mirror,
This huge gate wasn’t black.
“…Red. Just like the color of the sky.”
As Adela said,
An ominous red mana fusion was swaying and connecting somewhere.
Red sky and red gate.
At this level, it is tantamount to telling them that they are related.
It was around the time Anise-sama’s expression, which had been looking at the red sky with a serious expression, hardened.
“…Sir Annis.”
Elena, who was looking at that figure, began to look at Anis-sama with her worried face.
Now then.
-The army of the end.
Anis-nim began to speak heavily.
“…The forces of the end?”
When Elena suddenly started talking while staring at her into the void,
Knowing that it was a conversation with Anis, an ancient fairy, Veronica’s gaze began to turn to Elena.
“… Ms. Elena? Maybe Anis-sama did something…”
“Are you Annis?”
“This is the name of the guardian spirit who is by Miss Elena’s side. You might know something about this situation…”
After hearing Veronica’s explanation, Adela and Silica looked puzzled.
Adela, who realized that the sword fairy was with me due to the previous explanation, quietly nodded her head.
When everyone’s eyes turned to Elena,
Anis-nim began to explain the forces of the end.
-… In the past, anomalies and gates like this appeared in my dimension as well.
First a green gate… Then a red one. And at the end…
Anis-sama continued calmly.
The bittersweet past when his own dimension was destroyed.
About the “Three-colored gate” That was the beginning of the fall.
“…Wait a minute.”
While listening to Anis’s explanation,
There was one part that made me uncomfortable.
It was also true that the red gate jumped out of the three-colored gates, skipping the green one.
“…So. Are you saying that this gate summons the ‘dimension’ itself that is hostile to us?”
-You can see that.
Not a hostile force or country,
The ‘dimension’ that only attacks to cause destruction.
No matter how you think about it, the scale was too big.
-Of course, not all dimensions have as many creatures as Merhem.
However, they were clearly a single person with reason.
“Hmm…”
It seemed like something was going to come out as I was getting tangled up in my head…
-Ugh!!
No matter what,
There was no change in the work to be done.
An army under the command of the Dimension has come over and is trying to destroy Merhem.
We hold off that force.
-Ugh!!
“Oh.”
I heard that even a tiger will come when I say it,
Just then, the driving sound of connecting the gate and the dimension began to resonate.
“Ready!”
Where, let’s see how great they come out.
Let’s all look at the gate nervously.
“…Oh no. It was a surprise.”
The other side of the barrier,
With the voice of the vampire I met earlier.
– Kiyaaa!!!
On the other side of the gate,
A creepy sound like scratching a blackboard began to resonate.
And after a while.
“… Ha.”
“Keee!!!!”
“Welcome back. My dimension. In ‘Sleepless Night’.”
The concept is clear.
I could understand why that man introduced himself as a ‘real’ vampire or something.
Red bloodshot eyes and ferociously protruding fangs.
The family of vampires who gave up being ‘human’.
“…!”
“Aagh!!”
Ghoul
A relatively well-known monster through various media outlets.
Even though I am a vampire and have never asked a person directly,
Even if you search past literature, you can’t find any news that a vampire turned into a ghoul.
‘…Then.’
That unidentified man was not a vampire from ‘Merhem’.
One of many dimensions.
A dimension destroyed by a single vampire.
This red gate,
It was a gate connected to the dimension of a man’s sleepless night.
“Kieack!!!”
“Kill!! Master’s enemy!”
Occasionally, a higher-level object that seems to have reason remaining,
Even ghouls who have lost their sanity and just follow the orders of their higher level entity.
Each one of them was an elite force that exceeded the physical abilities of a normal human,
As long as the members are members, it was manageable.
-Aww wow!!!
Perberbubbung!!!
More than a dozen ghouls were swept away by the gigantic claws of silica,
“…”
-Suddenly!
Adela, who had invoked blood demon magic, was slaughtering only high-ranking ghouls that possessed reason at a speed that was invisible to her eyes.
But…
“Magic Missile…!”
-Kwaguawang!!
Even if dozens of ghouls are swept away,
Even if you defeat a commander-level ghoul with reason.
“Kuaaa)”
There were too many ghouls passing through the gate.
It’s a pity, since the ghouls started running out, they steadily reduced their numbers.
If we had been a little bit later, the whole area might have turned into a ghoul field.
However,
We weren’t the first to find the location of the gate for nothing.
“Helena!!!”
“Yes!”
I was watching the situation, not knowing that flying objects or special objects might jump out,
Now, it seemed like I could carry out the operation with good cost-effectiveness even if I didn’t have to build a high wall of flame.
“Anis-sama!!!”
Following Elena’s cry,
A wall of transparent flame began to soar at the entrance of the gate.
-Roaring!!!
A wall of flame that is high enough to cover half of the gate.
Of course, the numerous ghouls that came through the gate like a swarm of locusts.
-Keyeee!!!!
– Note. Master!!!
As soon as it comes over,
They turned to ash as they were scorched by the flame of purification, which could be said to be their opposite.
“…What!!”
“…”
The ghouls who have no way to know the situation on the other side,
They pass through the gate one after another and are purified one after another.
Like moths jumping into a fire.
Thanks to that, after clearing up the ghouls, Adela was able to run straight to her host, the vampire, and wield her sword.
-Suddenly!
“Awesome…!!”
-Charleureureuk!!
A man who was leisurely watching his troops come over turned into a bat and sat down on a rock in the distance.
Professor Bergen appears from the shadow of the guy and grabs the guy’s head with his blackened hands and blows it off.
-Kwajik!
“…You guys.”
“Oh. Does it regenerate even if the head explodes?”
The half-disappeared head regenerates at high speed,
A guy who makes eye contact with Professor Bergen with eyes full of life.
Different from how it looked before,
A visibly agitated look.
“Lea.”
-Sparkling!!
To ensure an advantage,
With the holy sword summoned, he joined Adela and Professor Bergen and began driving the man into a corner.
Dimension vs dimension fight.
The fight against the first ‘disaster’ brought by the dimension,
It started in our favor as we won the fight against time.
**
“The mountain road is coming to an end!”
Deligna Mountain, the final gateway to Beinhardt.
Let Morhan and the Knights’ forces cross the mountain path.
“…Are you here?”
As a result of matching the location through contact with Grade, who was walking in a similar location at good timing,
Because there were only four elite members, they were able to join the fast-moving force suppression group.
“…”
“Yes. I handed everything over to the royal family. It should be fine now.”
“… Didn’t you just say anything?”
“I think I asked something. Am I wrong?”
– No matter what.
“Look at that. You got it right.”
I was asking if there were any injuries, so I shook my head, but
It didn’t really matter if the other side thought that way.
In fact, looking at the leisurely appearance, it seemed that all four of them were safe.
At that time,
Gail, a mid-level knight who had been in charge of leadership at the head of the knights, stepped forward.
“…Mr. Ethan. Mr. Banter. 112 Members of the Knights Templar or lower and 324 members of the Guild Association. All gatherings have been completed.”
“Gail. You did a great job.”
All that’s left now is
I just hurriedly headed towards Beinhardt.
A long time has passed since we lost contact with Veronica.
“…A vampire from another dimension.”
Vampire forces from another dimension,
There was a little fanciful story mixed in, but it didn’t matter.
“Advance!”
As the knights who protect Merveus and the queen,
I only cut down the enemies that stand in my way.
As a result of such a 20-minute march,
With the exception of the four suns and beast reinforcements, all troops were able to reach Beinhardt.
“…!”
The sight they saw.
-Keee!!!
-… Kleuruk!!!
A hellish scene where thousands of monsters roam around Beinhardt’s estate.
“… Ms. Elena!”
“Rye!!”
In the scenery like that hell.
A small number of people, including a boy wielding a familiar sword of light,
It was a scene of a fierce battle.
“…All allied forces. Rushed to support…”
Before Edan’s order was finished.
-Quaaang!!
With the sound of something exploding,
Four puppets ran out toward the battlefield.
