125 – Spirit World – (3)

“Okay, let’s go in.”

Just in front of the gateway to the spirit realm.

As we hesitated, Seira spoke first.

“I knew this would happen and I prepared a safety device.”

“A safety device?”

As Lynn Sia tilted her head, Seira grinned, holding Seneca’s hair from her severed arm in one hand and wrapping her other hand around Yuria’s waist.

“These guys will tell you if this place is dangerous or not.”

“Yes? Yes? Me? You mean that?”

Yuria rolled her eyes in embarrassment, but it was already too late for her.

Saira sighed and tossed the two of them straight through the gap.

“Ah, ah ah ah! It’s the worst!”

Yuria’s agony that echoed around her soon disappeared as if she was being entangled in the black liquid.

“What a dramatic reunion.”

The two of them had a deep relationship, but things went really well.

Yuria felt strangely pitiful.

Seira closed her eyes and seemed to be pondering something about her, but then she nodded her head.

“Yes. She seems to have arrived well.”

“How do you know that?”

“Before leaving the capital, I put a familiar word on Yuria’s body. Of course, she doesn’t even know about her dreams.”

“Huh.”

“First of all, you are a member of the church, right? You should have insurance.”

Seira shrugged her shoulders.

Whether to be careful or clever.

Lyn Xia seemed to get a little goosebumps, but she held my arm tightly.

“Okay. It seems safe, so let’s go.”

“Can I just jump in?”

“Maybe?”

After saying that, Seira floated into the air and disappeared between the gates.

“Well, we are going too.”

Lin Xia swallowed her gulp and she took a few steps back.

I also held her hand, did the run-up, and ran as hard as I could. As if she was scared as expected, Lynthia in my arms let out a shrill scream.

We threw ourselves into the gate that way.

“… ….”

Kulleong.

A sensation like cold water that wraps around the body unpleasantly. Her son-in-law was dyed black, and suddenly her mind went hazy.

I squeezed Lynxia’s small hand in her right hand to catch her spirit. She also put strength in her hand, probably thinking the same thing.

How long has it been since I started relying on that warmth?

Paaa!

As if falling into a quiet sleep, we landed in another space connected through a crack in the door.

No, it crashed.

“Awesome.”

The ground hit my back and I was out of breath. Even Xia Lin, who followed me, thumped her forehead against my chest.

“Aww… ….”

Watching Lin Xia groan in pain and touch her forehead, I lifted my upper body.

I thought I had fallen into the water, but my body wasn’t wet at all.

And the scenery behind Lyncia’s platinum hair was completely different from before.

“…… Pretty.”

Lynxia, relieved of her pain, looked around her, and she muttered in dismay.

I also felt the same way.

The spirit realm. It gave the impression of being mysterious, but I didn’t expect it to be this beautiful.

Thousands, no, tens of thousands of stars were set against the dark purple night sky, and several islands were floating in the air.

The rim of stars connected as if connecting those islands together slowly rotated as if holding the center of the world, and hundreds of spirits swirled around us as if in a whirlwind.

“Those spirits… ….”

“I am not corrupted. It means that the Spirit King has not yet completely surrendered.”

Saira answered me.

“It seems that they are not friendly to us.”

“…… Grunt.”

Yuria, who arrived first, was looking at Seira with a blank expression.

She’s Seneca. Maybe she’s oblivious, or maybe she’s just sighing her fate.

“So, Seneca. Where is Pederas?”

When I asked, Seneca did not answer.

Instead, he just stared at one side.

“… ….”

At the end of her gaze was the largest island, and above it was a huge citadel rising precipitously.

And a black mist spread around that place, embroidering the beautifully shining night sky black.

“Yes. Okay. Sorry. It was a fluke.”

For anyone to see, that place was the throne.

The problem is how to get there.

“Can’t teleport?”

“Yes. The quality of mana itself is different in this space. I have to use only the mana in my body, but it’s really hard.”

“Then what about flying magic?”

“That, too, is limited to me.”

The conditions were more difficult than expected.

Sayra, even if we say we can fly, what should we do? The distance was a little too far to run like last time.

Whoops.

The next moment, the surroundings became dark.

I hurriedly drew my sword and looked overhead. Several adult male-sized birds were flying overhead.

“…… Pigeon?”

Is it the Olympics?

“Ugh! It’s not a dove! It’s a wind spirit!”

Lyncia corrected again.

It actually looked similar to a wig.

And then, one of the flying spirits lowered its altitude and landed right in front of Lynthia.

She blankly approached the spirit. I rushed forward to restrain myself, but Lynxia shook her head.

“It’s okay. I won’t hurt you.”

“Lyncia.”

“I think they are Wig’s friends.”

As Lin Xia approached, the spirit in front of her bowed her head.

Her wings quivered when I touched her beak.

Then, as if obeying a king, the spirit bowed down and offered its back. The other spirits were the same.

“Mr. Fried.”

“Yes.”

“…… I think about it sometimes.”

“What is it?”

“Isn’t His Majesty’s calling an elementalist?”

“I agree.”

I nodded at Seira’s words and raised the status.

The ring.

“Huh.”

New charm and intelligence stats were up.

“Aww!”

A dizzying wind passes by my ears.

Feels like riding a ride. Suddenly frightened, I gathered the feathers in my hand a little tighter.

Sweet love!

The wind spirit was fast. And the ride comfort was the worst.

Even with one hand serving as Lynchia’s seat belt, I had no choice but to hold on to her body with my tattered hand and thighs so that she wouldn’t be blown away.

Seira giggled happily as she rode atop her spirit’s back, clutching a magical rein in her hands.

“If you have something that good, give it to us too.”

“Shh. Freed. We are here now.”

When I came to my senses at Lynxia’s words and looked in front of her, the throne that I had seen in the distance was right in front of me.

It was a formidable speed.

At this rate, it might not be too late.

From noble mtl dot com

“… ….”

However, a man with strangely shaped horns on both shoulders walked through the open door, putting our expectations to shame.

The appearance of tattoos all over his face was even somewhat hideous.

Surely, that guy must be the culprit behind this, Phaedras, the Apostle of the Abyss.

“An uninvited guest has arrived.”

He raised his head, perhaps noticing our approach.

The wind spirits flying in the sky also sensed the unusual atmosphere and stopped in the air.

A chilly silence.

He spoke first.

“Seneca.”

“…… Mr. Federas, how did this happen…….”

“Well, it didn’t matter whether I was captured or not, so it’s okay. Furthermore.”

Phaedras paused for a moment and then turned his gaze to me.

To be precise, Lyncia held in my arms.

“I am rather grateful to you for bringing me to Airn. I can hit it off with this one.”

“Ha. Are you alone? Anybody?”

Cutting her back, Seira jumped off the sprite’s back.

Federas, the apostle of the abyss, frowned at Seira’s appearance as she descended leisurely as if she was the only one unaffected by gravity.

“You must be the Archmage.”

“Yes, yes. Not nice to meet you.”

Seira put her feet on the grass and continued.

“Stop talking nonsense, did you come here to surrender? Can you tie it up? Shall we get along well with the apostles and put them in prison?”

“… ….”

“What’s wrong with your face? You’re still ugly, but your expression is also very spectacle, you.”

“Whoa. Well, that’s it.”

Phaedras slightly lowered his head as if to dispel his anger. In line with that movement, Seira also summoned her golden chain into the air.

An imminent situation.

I also raised her body on the back of the wind spirit, holding Ernst.

I was going to run at it if I had to.

The apostle of the abyss took a deep breath and slowly raised her hand. Seira was about to strike her chain down at any moment.

And.

“Hey, is that Fried?”

“Yes?”

Lynxia, who was in my arms, looked the other way with her eyes wide open.

“I-I can’t believe that… ….”

“Huh?”

I followed her gaze.

“…… What is that again?”

I saw a huge red wolf charging at us, wrapped in flames the size of a house.

Lyncia stuttered.

“I…… I’ve heard In Lord Lautrec’s animism class.”

“What is that?”

“The highest ranking fire spirit, Flamrus.”

“… ….”

Quaguaguawang!

Flamus, the red wolf, attacked the group of wind spirits floating in the air.
