Chapter 678 Chapter
173. Chasing the sword (3)
* * *
The sword flew for four full days. It swept all continents and seas without a break for four days.
The speed was so fast that the party only chased after the tail for the first ten minutes or so, and then continued to rely on the air defenses and sightings of allies and allies.
[Where the hell is your alternate destination?]
Quikantel said in a voice full of anger.
In a sudden emergency that no one expected, she has been flying all over the world for four days without being able to close her eyes for a moment.
Of course, flying for four days was not a big deal to a dragon, but flying at full speed almost every second was beyond their power.
I never thought that the day would come when I would have a chase with the ‘sword’.
“My sword… my sword… can I find it…?”
Like all warriors, Hedo loved his longsword very much. Not only is there no blacksmith in the present age who can make something like that, but also the fact that it was a reward he got after fighting the monster of the Black Sea in his youth was a factor he was attached to.
Since such a sword has been churning the sky for four days already, Hedo has no choice but to turn inside out.
With a pale complexion that didn’t go well with her muscularity, Sandra continued to offer words of comfort that were bored and insincere.
“It’s unfortunate that the sword ran away, but thanks to that, we’ve been dating for four days in the air like this, hey. Let’s think good. It will be an unforgettable memory for the rest of my life!”
Those who rode Quikantel’s back respected Hedo for not harming Sandra in the end.
“Suddenly, the outline of the destination has been grasped, Mr. Quikantel. Please suffer a little more. I have nothing to say except that I am sorry.”
Up until the day before yesterday, Hedo’s sword had just run amok in all directions like a mad dog.
Heading north, turning south again, going east, twisting each other, driving the pursuers crazy.
It was to the point where he felt that the sword was determined and made fun of people.
Of course, between those two days, of course, the Garden of Swords and Zipline Kinzelo.
“Emmy… what is that?”
“Did something like a distant dark meteor fall?”
“Hey, isn’t that the remnant of chaos!? Run away tongue!”
with fishermen from all over the sea.
“Could that be the remnants of chaos!?”
“After that, the silver dragon Quikantel is chasing you!”
“Oh, I see the 12th Horsemen and Barmal Union too! Have you seen Suppression of Chaos?”
“Jin Runkandel!”
“Cheers to Her Highness the Regent and Gene Runkandell!”
I came to know the people of all kinds of cities who are leading a peaceful life under the protection of the Barmal Alliance and Dante’s great powers.
In other words, in four days, more people in the world know about this situation than people who don’t. Secret access to Temar’s sixth tomb has become impossible.
“sorry? If I apologize, will the veil come back to me?”
“I will take some responsibility later and compensate for the damage this time.”
“It means that it has already become irreversible…! The lady and I have already been exposed to the family ships!”
True to the word, in the process of chasing the sword, the party has already encountered several pursuits from other powers. It meant that the Chaos Dragon of Runcandel, Kingelo the Black Ship, and the dragons of Ziffle’s ship had all seen Sandra and Hedo.
-Sir Hedo…!?
-Isn’t Sandra next to you? Why are the two of you on vacation together with the 12 riders…?
-Come to think of it, that flying object is very similar to Lord Hedo’s sword.
In particular, Hedo’s muscular bulk was so unique that anyone who saw it could recognize it from afar, so they couldn’t pretend otherwise. That doesn’t mean I didn’t pretend, but it didn’t mean it was useless.
Therefore, Hedo was already at a loss to go back and explain.
Currently, the Barmal Union and Ziple are in a temporary alliance, and Hedo is in a position to receive very special treatment within the original family.
The problem was that it was not reported in advance.
“Why does that matter? Anyway, the moment Hedo goes out with me, it’s obvious that I’m going on a date with Jin.”
“It’s a problem because you didn’t report in advance that the 12th Horseman was trying to help you examine the sword, lady…” ”
Why didn’t you report that to the tower guard?”
It was because I didn’t want to be tired.
The fact that the veil played a decisive role when entering the fifth tomb last time, Hedo did not inform the family.
Of course, he had already confirmed all of his ancestors, but if he thought that there was some kind of contact between himself and the old Runkandel, he would have to go through a number of annoying procedures.
In addition, when he escaped from the snowfield, he hid the fact that he had escaped earlier than the other zips thanks to Jin, so it was an uncomfortable situation for Hedo.
“Because I didn’t know things would turn out this way.”
Although he had a temper with Jin all the time, Hedo actually thought that all of this was his negligence.
‘I wonder if I’ve been too picky about the consideration of the family heads and the heads of state, but I’ve been too complacent.’
He wasn’t too worried about being reprimanded later for this incident.
The problem was Sandra.
-Is it because you protect Sandra Ziple?
-okay.
-I don’t understand. Does the protection you’re talking about condone any level of experimentation on Sandra?
The conversation I had with Jin before the sword went wild.
As the saying goes, it is all thanks to Hedo’s existence that Sandra has been able to avoid the ‘very lethal’ level of experiments.
Zipple knew exactly what Hedo wanted. What he wanted was neither greater power, nor a chance to fight a stronger opponent, nor a position on the top of the list.
Only Sandra’s survival.
That’s why Ziffle turned a blind eye to Hedo even when he often broke the rules. Even if he was involved in something embarrassing, he did not seriously investigate.
In the end, all the results of Hedo’s work always came back to Sandra’s benefit and Zipple’s benefit.
But this case is different.
If Jin became stronger again due to Hedo’s sword or if there was a problem with the history manipulation in the old Runcandel, Hedo had nothing to say even if Ziffle threatened Sandra.
‘If a full-scale investigation begins, the fact that I killed the specters in the Sota Desert last time and that I let go of the 12 riders pretending to have been killed by Ainas could also be uncovered…
‘ It was the desired hedo.
But his wish cannot come true.
[Heh heh heh heh. The sword… has stopped!]
Quikantel said, breathing heavily.
In the middle of the territorial sea, which Hufester calls the Sea of Swords, and the Magical Federation of Lutero calls it the Sea of Magic.
“Quikanteel passed by this place on the first day of his flight, and now that he has arrived, this sea is his destination?”
“Maybe it just stopped for a moment… Thankfully, that doesn’t seem to be the case.”
When Jin answered, the sword stopped there for the first time since it started moving.
The blade, which slowly rotated like the hands of a clock, was aimed at the sea.
as if to poke.
Piing thaaaaaaaaaaaak-!
The sword struck the middle of the sea with a tremendous roar as the air tore and burst.
Then an amazing thing happened.
Woo woo woo…!
Literally the sea turned upside down.
As if a giant gathered several mountains together and threw them like stones, indescribably huge ripples occurred, and the rising sea water reached the clouds.
Quikantel and his colleagues spread a protective shield and pushed back the seawater. A sensation as heavy as the sincere attack of a fairly superhuman was transmitted from the seawater.
Maybe the whole world shook for a moment. And the power that Hedo’s sword exploded was all Jin’s aura that he absorbed four days ago.
It will take a long time for that kind of uproar to subside.
The sea will continue to wreak havoc for a while, pushing the tsunami all the way to the land, and there is nothing else people can do until the disaster is over.
However, what the sword caused was not a disaster, but a certain divine discovery.
The aura that flowed from the sword was moving on its own, touching the bare skin of the sea below.
As if touching a forgotten and dusty precious object, the image of aura seeping into the sea floor continued.
“Lord Aiki is pulling something in the shape of a building off the floor!”
Balkas said wide-eyed.
All of my colleagues were looking at the same scenery. Like a legend common in any region, a civilization hidden under the sea is being revealed.
Even Hedo, who had been gripped with worry until just now, was stunned for a moment and looked at it.
All who watched were in awe.
In the past, it was shocking when Olmango split the sea and took out a huge clam, but compared to the scenery in front of the group, even that seemed insignificant.
“Wow… honey, is that the sixth tomb of your ancestor?”
As Jin tried to answer, he met Valeria’s eyes.
“Didn’t I say that it is a subspace that exists inside the sword?”
In front of Valeria, a small blue window of record magic was open.
< Jin Runkandel finally opens the subspace of ... contained in the sword. >
The record window was revealing such a phrase.
“…Yes, the subspace that exists inside the sword has been opened. It seems that we did not enter the sword through a portal, but the subspace inherent in the sword is escaping to the outside.”
If so, the sword had been flying to find a position where it could take out that space.
“By the way, this doesn’t seem to be a solderlet subspace. If it was a subspace he created, the name would have been clearly stated.”
Saying it as if wondering, Valeria let out a low sigh. It was because there was a more important issue than who the subspace was right in front of us.
“found!”
[The aircraft stopped! Stop attacking and check that traitor first
!
Like the Barmal Alliance, they had been chasing the sword until just now, but in the process, their movements overlapped and they were fighting.
“I found the Archduke. The captain is in critical condition, so please do not use your strength!”
It was the same with Kingelo.
Once again, three great powers gathered in the middle of the sea.
Jin’s party couldn’t hear the voice because of the distance, but they knew they were nearby.
Jin still looked at the aura-tinged seawater that poured like a waterfall in all directions.
Spirits were spreading even far away where the ships and dragons of each faction were floating.
All areas touched by spirit energy are subspaces of the sword.
In other words, since all those who pursued the sword had already entered the subspace… A fight in the tomb was unavoidable.
