Episode 725: Finally laughter (1)
Lumensis was torn to pieces by the gods he had imprisoned, and disappeared beyond imaginary space.
Even though his heart was gone and his body was in pain, Lumensis did not die.
That powerful presence actually made it possible for him not to die even in this terrible situation.
It was a pleasure for Ludger.
He will feel the pain of his body being torn apart for a very long time and will die slowly.
It was truly a fitting end for him.
‘but.’
Because Lumensis destroyed the crystal corridor, it was no longer possible to reach the exit visible beyond.
“Uh, what should I do? Would you rather use my magic?”
“No matter how much you have spatial magic, if you do something like that in imaginary space, you will be thrown beyond the coordinates.”
The distance to the exit is about 10m.
In normal cases, it was an easily travelable distance, but the problem was that 10 meters was an imaginary space.
Imaginary space is an unknown space that has not been properly discovered scientifically or magically.
Even Line’s space movement magic doesn’t work properly here.
Rather than using such a shortcut, it would be better to jump over that space with both legs.
So Ludger created a crystal corridor to go to Earth.
After researching and researching for a very long time.
Now that the tip of it has been broken by Lumensis, the way back to the continent is once again blocked.
“The aftermath is slowly approaching.”
“yes?”
“Look behind you.”
As Ludger said, Line looked back and immediately became thoughtful.
This is because the crystal corridor the two people had walked through was slowly collapsing from beyond.
The sight of the collapsing corridor turning into powder and scattering across imaginary space was like entering the maw of an animal.
“It was not made to last long in the first place, so it is a natural result.”
“Well, then what should we do?!”
If we continue like this, we will be caught up in the collapse coming from the other side and fall into imaginary space.
“I guess I’ll have to cross that road.”
“Well, is there a way?”
“In preparation for moments like this, I did prepare an escape device.”
Ludger spread his right hand upward.
A shadow fluttered across the palm of my hand, and a small crystal ball appeared.
“It is a crystal escape hatch with coordinates set to point towards the exit, in case of an unexpected situation. “Because it is shaped like a crystal corridor, it is safe for a short period of time even from the unknown dangers of imaginary space.”
“Well, then!”
Linne’s brightly lit face collapsed the moment she heard Ludger’s next words.
“However, only one person can use this. “It was originally made with the assumption that only I would use it.”
“Well, that…” … .”
Liné bit her lip at the shocking truth and nodded obediently.
“I see. Instead, I followed along and bothered my brother for no reason.”
Rine wasn’t supposed to be here in the first place.
Ludger’s original purpose was to return to Earth alone and see his mother.
In this situation, to put it bluntly, Liné was close to impurity.
“I’m OK. So you can go. “This is something I have to endure.”
Rine, who had made up her mind, spoke in a resolute voice.
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
“yes?”
“You are the one using this, not me.”
What on earth does that mean?
Without even having time to ask, Ludger pushed the crystal escape hatch into Line and activated it.
The crystal ball began to shine, then changed greatly and engulfed Linne’s body.
Liné felt like she was trapped in a large soap bubble.
“Now, wait! “What on earth are you doing?”
Rine knocked on the crystal ball with both hands, but it did not move.
Line’s trembling pupils turned towards Ludger.
“You followed me around and said I was wrong, but honestly, I feel grateful.”
“Suddenly what… … .”
“Everything I tried to do was difficult to tell others. It will be difficult to understand. Even if I go back and tell the truth, people won’t believe me. “What I have tried to achieve my whole life will be dismissed as a lie.”
“brother… … .”
“But you saw with your own eyes what I did, and even approved of me.”
Ludger let out a chuckle.
“Maybe I was hoping for something like this.”
Even thinking about it to myself made me laugh.
Although he has lived his whole life wearing the mask of a strong person, he reveals such weakness at the end.
“So if anyone has to live in this situation, it should be you.”
It’s ironic and contradictory.
But that’s what makes us human.
Only those who have given up on becoming gods can enjoy it.
It is a privilege.
“Rine. It was a pleasure being together so far. “Say hello to the others too.”
Ludger lightly pushed the crystal ball.
The crystal ball that was pushed out, containing Line, headed toward the open door beyond imaginary space.
Line cried out anxiously as she watched Ludger walking away.
“Brother Heathcliff!”
“Be well.”
That last greeting.
Crumbling!
The passage of the crystal corridor where Ludger was standing collapsed, and his body fell to the bottom.
Beyond a space where all colors are mixed and nothing is visible.
no.
Before Line could shout out anything, the crystal ball containing her reached the exit.
My vision changed dramatically with the light.
It was not an imaginary space where there was nothing, but the empty space of Galaharad Fortress where the final fierce battle took place.
It’s back again.
The people around were startled when Liné suddenly appeared with a flash of light in the air and approached her.
“Rine!”
“Uh, what happened?”
“What about Mr. Ludger? What happened to that person?!”
Everyone had a lot of questions they wanted to ask Rine.
It was a natural reaction as Ludger suddenly disappeared, and Liné chased after him and then came back.
However, the seemingly endless barrage of questions ended sooner than expected.
This is because Line collapsed in her seat and shed tears endlessly.
ah.
People couldn’t help but realize that.
I don’t know what happened beyond that space.
Ludger Chelsea.
No, Heathcliff van Bretus never came back.
Line knew that too, so she just lowered her head and shed tears.
At a time when everyone was solemn, one person opened his mouth.
“for a moment. “What is that in your hand?”
With great sense, Alex pointed to something that Line was holding tightly with both hands.
It was only then that Liné realized that she was holding something in her hand.
“This is… … .”
It was a small gem.
The bluish gem was as bright as Ludger’s eyes.
When?
Liné wondered why this was in her hand, but then she couldn’t help but realize.
When she finally used the crystal escape hatch, Ludger naturally gave it to her as he sent her away.
I was completely unaware of the shocking fact that Ludger was left there alone.
Rine stopped crying and held up the blue gem.
People’s eyes were fixed on the jewel.
“Is that a magic record?”
Clinton Rothschild was the first to realize the identity of the jewel.
As a 7th rank archmage, he saw clearly that the jewel contained a very sophisticated magic technique.
Liné instinctively poured her magic onto the jewel.
The jewel trembled in response to Line’s magic, and spewed out the huge magic spells stored inside.
The complex shapes written in pure white code were so difficult that even the wizards gathered here could not understand them.
But Line knew. She could feel it, exactly.
The magic written in this code word is what he can use best.
“yet.”
Rine held the jewel tightly in her hand.
“It’s not over.”
* * *
3 years later.
Three years have passed since the temple ended.
It was the third anniversary of the end of the war, and a parade was in full swing outside.
Because of the last holy war, the continent was peaceful without war for three years.
There wasn’t even a natural argument that would normally occur in humans.
It was thanks to the opening of a new era.
Beyond the Eastern Giant’s Spine Mountains, a place that turned out to be an unknown space.
Explorers revealed that there was a new continent and country there, shocking the entire continent.
After the temple ended, a large earthquake occurred in the area around the giant’s spine.
The reason was that part of the mountain range that seemed to divide the world in two collapsed, creating a passage to the other side.
As a result, countless people flocked to the human wilderness area where the giant’s spine was located to seize the opportunity.
A new era of pioneering has begun.
Because the attention of all countries was focused on that direction, there was no need to fight or do anything.
An era of peace that lasted like that.
A festival was held to mark the third anniversary of the end of the war.
At the sound of people outside the window, Liné stopped the book she had been scribbling.
At that time, there was a loud knock on the door.
“Are you ready?”
The person who opened the door and came in was Julia Plumheart, a woman with pure white hair that reached her waist.
She was mature even when she was a student, but now, three years later, she is exuding a mature beauty that makes people look back once or twice as they pass by.
At those words, Rine turned her head and smiled brightly.
“huh. “It’s just over.”
Rine got up from the chair, her hair flying.
Her hair used to only reach down to the nape of her neck, but over the past three years, her hair has grown so much that it now reaches down to her waist.
The two walked down the street.
Fireworks were exploding outside, and a parade of soldiers on horseback was continuing.
People cheered, and large balloons lined the streets.
Children ran around innocently, passing by Line and Julia.
“It’s already been three years.”
“That’s right. Rather, today is that day, right?”
“huh.”
Line nodded and answered Julia’s question.
The place the two headed to was Dbalk Imperial Castle.
The entrance to the imperial castle was wide open to commemorate the festival, and the guards recognized the two people and immediately let them inside.
There were more wizards than usual inside the imperial castle.
When they saw Line and Julia, they bowed their heads slightly and said hello.
Line and Julia also accepted the greeting and headed deep into the castle.
The place the two people arrived at was a large indoor laboratory located on one side of the castle.
“We’re here.”
“It’s late.”
What returned from Line’s words was a sharp voice.
The owner of the voice was Flora Lumos.
Now that she has become the head of the Lumos family, she was also an investor who invested a huge amount of money in this experiment.
“Don’t be like that. “I was late because I was organizing one last spell.”
“joy. Even if you don’t do it, other competent people can do it. Did you forget? You are an important person who must never be left out of today’s experiment. I mean, take care of your condition. “Don’t lose sleep just because you’re checking your skills.”
Flora’s tone was aggressive, but it contained concern for Line.
Line knew that too, so she responded with a smile.
“huh. okay.”
“Besides, there are other people waiting here besides you.”
“Flora is right.”
It was Sedina Roshen who appeared with that answer.
No, now she, Sedina Plante, was one of the important people who should not be left out of this experiment.
“Sedina. how have you been doing?”
“huh. “I always get along well.”
Sedina was taller than before and had an adult face that I had never seen before.
Her hair was also a little long, so she kept it from a very short bob to a moderately long semi-long hair.
The ends of the brown hair were transparent silver.
“Is the device finished?”
“I finished it a long time ago. “The brains of the empire, including Grandpa Clinton, went through a lot of hard work to create it. Are you going to do it in vain?”
Sedina pointed to the center of the laboratory.
There was an arched door made of metal.
Supporting the arch door were strong tree roots made from the cells of the World Tree.
“You really finished it.”
“It’s thanks to everyone’s efforts. What would have originally taken more than five years was shortened by three years.”
It took a huge amount of money just to make that thing.
However, the funds were obtained more easily than expected.
The Kingdom of Utah sent a donation, Violetta, the new owner of Royal Street, willingly donated money, and the Rochen family and the imperial family also provided generous support.
Seorn also spent a lot of money.
Of course, it was a significant investment even for Seorn, and Hugo Bourtegue, who was newly appointed as Director of Planning, even lost his hair from working overtime every day.
It must have been unthinkable at the time when I had just become the head of the Planning Department and was elated as if I had the whole world.
“You guys are here.”
At that time, Selina approached, shaking her pink hair.
She looked no different than three years ago.
“Miss Selina!”
“You seem to get younger every time I see you.”
“so? “Thank you for the compliment.”
Selina was also included in this study.
It was also a means of preparing for an unexpected situation.
This is because the dark spirit she handles [Esmeralda] is excellent at suppressing the aftermath in emergency situations.
“hmm. “Everyone was gathered here.”
At that time, 1st Princess Eileen appeared with the SS.
Accompanied by Facius, she dominated the atmosphere around her with her still noble and arrogant appearance.
“Rine. long time no see.”
Next to Eileen was the Third Princess Erendir.
She waved her hand while saying hello to Line without Eileen’s knowledge, and then received a hot look from Eileen.
“That’s why the royal family behaves so lightly.”
“Uh, sister… … .”
“Normally, I wouldn’t have given up on this kind of admonishment, but today is a special day, so I’ll look at it.”
Eileen left the sullen Erendir behind and stood in front of Linne.
“Are you ready?”
“yes.”
“That level of determination is not enough. “I asked whether I had the confidence to risk everything and succeed.”
“that.”
Despite the considerable pressure, Line responded without wavering.
“It’s always been the same since three years ago.”
Eileen chuckled at that answer.
“Good. “I’m looking forward to it.”
The experiment has begun.
Liné wore a pure white robe over her coat.
At first glance, it may look like an ordinary robe, but it was a protective artifact to block dimensional pressure within imaginary space.
Since it was created by the cooperation of artifact manufacturers, wizards, and researchers, who are said to be the best on the continent, the money spent was truly astronomical.
Liné, wearing it, stood in front of the metal arch.
“The device is running.”
The researchers activated the machines installed nearby with voices full of tension.
Energy was supplied through the roots of the World Tree, accompanied by rough driving sounds in various places.
The energy flowing through the roots reached the metal arch, and all kinds of geometric languages were engraved on its surface.
Jiiiing!
A bluish gate opened in the center of the arch.
Line looked at the gate and took a deep breath.
Everyone was looking at her back.
Some people look at you with concern, others look at you with anticipation.
Rine, riding on those various emotions, gathered courage and spoke.
“Then, I’ll be back.”
Line threw herself at the gate without hesitation.
