Episode 125. A blue dagger and a jail bridge (5)
“What and what!”
Marlon and his colleagues hurriedly got up and approached Yuma. They misunderstood that Yuma was not training, but was under some kind of magic.
Jigsaw Jigsaw!
Milina, who reached out her hand inadvertently, hurriedly withdrew her hand, feeling the strong electricity. Beyond the fingers, the entire forearm tingled.
[Do not touch! It looks like your master is training.]
Rakir stopped the rest of the crew and flapped his wings.
In the middle of a dark forest, Yuma’s body covered in lightning was shining like a meteor. The comrades relaxed and waited for Yuma to reap the lightning with subtle feelings.
Electricity was constantly surging from Yuma. The electricity that escaped the body evaporated slowly, but did not deviate beyond a certain distance, finding its place again.
Of course, it was lightning formed by Yuma’s unique aura.
The gaze of the colleagues who had been looking at the lightning that was united by Yuma in absurdity gradually changed to a mysterious one.
The lightning seemed like new armor. In fact, Yuma recalled the armor and made lightning, which was used to block magic.
It was possible to make the same armor with fire or ice. However, fire had the disadvantage of blocking the view, and the ice broke whenever it moved.
They were more effective at making temporary shields than for making armor like lightning.
Through the senses she realized while cutting black magic and Rakir’s explanation, Yuma learned that her unique aura can break magic as much as she wants.
If it could be broken, it was possible to block it as well.
In a situation where no one knows what kind of magic will come if they invade the Zeilgyo right away, Yuma Ni is looking for a way to use his new powers while his friends are taking a break.
If there is a battle with the Zeilgyo and if they use magic, they won’t be helplessly defeated.
Pss…
Yuma let go of his concentration, and the blue lightning quickly faded.
Returning to her usual self, Yuma smiled contentedly.
“Looks like you’ve found a pretty good application. fun.”
After removing the lightning, mental fatigue came flooding in, but physical strength did not decrease at all. Yuma wiped her sweaty hair and stood up.
“Let’s go.”
“Go right away? You just hit the lightning…
Ha. no it was let’s go!”
Marlon didn’t want to say any more, now that he was getting grumpy. Jeka originally thought of herself as inferior to Yuma and Marlon, so she wasn’t too shocked, and Milina was still dumbfounded.
The party sat in a circle and looked at the map that Igor had left behind.
Like a pseudonym, the Great Temple of Jailgyo was located on the edge of the entrance to Cobble, but if you follow the map, it is in an alley.
“…There is a Zeilgyo temple in this alley? Just looking at the map, it looks like there are a few small buildings.”
“It’s not a popular religion, so temples can be small.”
“Baron Drake, this time I will help you.”
“You are helpful enough, Sir Milina Spaser.”
Yuma Malone Zecamilina. Four people got on the tulka at the same time.
No matter how big the tulka is, the space for four people to bat was cramped. It wasn’t to the extent that I couldn’t ride it.
It didn’t take long to get to the location marked on the map. Like a spirit creature, Tulka found his way well and moved quickly even when Yuma was lost in unfamiliar geography.
While coming this far, the party continued to pay attention in case there was an attack by the ‘light spear’ or the blue dagger, but there were no special incidents.
Dawn was approaching. Upon arriving at the alley, the group got off the tulka and knocked out several thugs scattered around. I thought it would be better to reduce the exposure as much as possible.
“This is the temple entrance? It looks like an ordinary alley with all sorts of junk boats just drunk or drugged, doesn’t it?”
“As I see it, yes. Did you find the right location for Yuma’s medicine?”
“Tulka never goes wrong. Even in the deserts of the East, I have always found my way.”
The alley was very narrow. It was difficult to even walk when four people were standing side by side.
And there was nothing to be seen except for the trash and filth rolling around in between. It was just an empty alley between the outer walls of the shabby buildings on both sides.
“Did Igor give you another explanation?”
“Yeah, I just gave you the medicine and left.”
Yuma asked, and Zecca answered.
‘There’s no way that Tulka got the wrong way, and there’s no way that Igor bothered to give you a fake map. I’m saying that this is the space where the Jailgyo Temple is located.’
After pondering for a while, Yuma raised his strength as if he remembered something.
“It seems to be a barrier.”
“Barrier?”
If he hadn’t awakened his inherent aura, Yuma wouldn’t have felt it either.
The fact that there is a magic barrier in this alley.
Now, at least faintly, Yuma’s own aura was reacting to the barrier. It’s as natural as when the wind blows your hair.
Yuma didn’t know how great this barrier was because he didn’t have magical knowledge yet. If Ariel had been present, she would have been shocked to see the perfection of the barrier.
It was natural since it was the barrier that Archmage Rizol had set up himself.
“The reason Igor didn’t bother to explain was probably because Ariel was here. You never thought he would miss the party. Or it could be that they are cursed or restricted from speaking out. Let me concentrate for a moment.”
Roaring!
Ascalon had been engulfed in flames ever since Yuma pulled it out of its scabbard. Just like when Yuma cut off Vargas’ gluttony, this barrier was also a bell plan.
The flames rode the sword and spread in a semicircle.
After a while, the party exclaimed in admiration, but like a book that reveals its writing when wet, it revealed the appearance of a barrier that was invisible to the flames.
‘Convenient!’
About five steps from Yuma, there was a place where the flames were shining fiercely.
It was the core of the barrier and the entrance to the Jailgyo Abbey.
Yuma pushed Ascalon into the space without hesitation.
A much stronger backlash than expected passed from the tip of the knife to the wrist.
It felt harder than the castle gates treated with all kinds of strong magic, and Yuma exploded his aura even more.
Pachang!
Then, a sharp noise, like glass breaking, scratched the ears of the party. The core of the barrier was completely split in half, revealing the landscape inside.
“her?”
Looking beyond the barrier, Yuma stunned and took a step back. Through the cracked barrier, I saw a huge temple that I couldn’t even think of as a fake.
Not even a single pillar could be placed in this shabby and narrow alley. No matter how big and wide the imperial castle was, it wouldn’t be as great as the temple he could see right now.
There was an endlessly wide lawn around the white temple like a mountain. It was so beautiful that it took my breath away, so I didn’t even think it was a Jailgyo temple.
Not only Yuma, but other colleagues also opened their mouths after checking the temple.
[My lord, it wasn’t just a barrier. Crong!]
“Yes, it must have been an entrance to another dimension…
A barrier or illusion magic could never hide such a space in this narrow alley. What you see over there was a different dimension in the first place.
Neither the underworld, nor the underworld, nor the land of dragons.
“I didn’t know that there was no Jailism temple in this world.”
No one said anything, but the party threw themselves into that dimension at the same time. It was meaningless to think about whether or not to come all the way here to save Igor.
The party who entered that dimension was suddenly enveloped in the feeling that their feet were turning off.
In fact, the land was gone. Since they forcibly broke the dimensional barrier and came in, they were not in the place they were supposed to arrive at, but were just transported into the air.
Kung Khuong!
It was fortunate that everyone in the party who had fallen to the ground had the highest level unmanned rigid body.
It fell from a height where it would not be strange for an untrained human being to die instantly.
“Oh my back. I knew it from you beforehand, but… What the hell are these pseudo-assholes?
Du Malone stopped grumbling and quickly turned his head.
While he was careless for a moment, a spear flew into his head.
Marlon gritted his teeth as he saw the spear that had narrowly passed his cheek and was pierced into the ground.
“Yeah, you bastards! How else do you know that I like to fight?
Marlon said, looking in the direction the spear flew. The rest of the group were already looking in that direction with their eyes wide open.
“…is that a bit much?”
The vast lawn where the party was away was surrounded by hills.
And on top of that hill, there was something pitch black lined up, and it was heavily armed soldiers.
Among them, the one standing in the vanguard threw a spear at the party.
“If you look at it roughly, it must be over 10,000.”
Auras were applied to the group’s weapons at the same time. Then, they held each other in one direction and put their backs to each other. No one was nervous even being surrounded by that amount of people.
“Hold on until they come!”
The man who threw the spear first shouted. Then the other soldiers surrounding the hill beat the floor with their spears and shouted.
“What are you talking about as if you know they’re going to lose? Are those spears of light or skewers the armed group of the Zeilgyo?”
“They are them. I see there are others besides them.”
“Baron Drake! Something is wrong!”
“It’s not strange, Milina. As soon as we arrived, we were surrounded by heavily armed soldiers.”
“No, that’s not what I mean. Can’t you see their faces?”
“face?”
Yuma tilted his head and met Milina’s eyes.
“They all have the same face!”
Yuma, who raised his senses and looked at them again, held his breath.
As Milina said, all of the over 10,000 soldiers had the same face. As if they had cloned a person.
Even Yuma couldn’t help but feel a little creepy.
“What the hell… How many twins are there?”
The moment Zecca said it as a joke, the soldiers surrounding the group lowered their stance to throw their spears at once.
“I don’t know what happened, but they’re bad guys. Let’s go through my side and go to the temple without anyone to deal with.”
As soon as the party took their steps, spears began to fly.
It was expected from the moment I first saw them accurately throwing their spears at the party from that distance, but they possessed physical strength that was incomparable to that of ordinary soldiers. The flying spear was quite fierce.
“I’ll take care of the spear, so everyone just run!”
Yuma shouted while swinging Ascalon. The rain-like spears hit Yuma’s aura, bounced off them, and fell to the floor.
Only about 10,000 people could be seen, but it was a situation where we did not know how many more such people would be in the future, and how strong those who the first soldier called ‘them’ might be.
So, except for himself, the rest of the members had to conserve their strength as much as possible. It was because Yuma now had an infinite aura, but the other colleagues did not.
