Chapter Seventy-Five: The Space of the Platform

Reins stepped onto a stone slab and disappeared from everyone's eyes. Because of her experience when she first entered the tower, Rossiel did not panic.
She stepped on the last place where Rhines had landed, and a white light stretched from beneath her feet, gradually enveloping her whole body. This time, instead of closing her eyes, she tried to see with her own eyes what was happening.
The process of spatial transfer didn't give her much time to figure it out, and when the white world was completed, it distorted into countless disordered patches of color at the last moment, and then all of them were reduced to nothingness.
In less than a second, she was on a gloomy platform. The change in light caused Roselle to blink, and only when the remaining light and shadow in her sight were gone, did she take two steps forward and take in her surroundings.
"Are we back in the normal tower?" She asked in amazement, and the others appeared behind her one by one, "There is no separate space on the platform?" β
Reins didn't answer her words, and seemed to be carefully exploring the environment in front of her. One of the brave team members walked to the edge of the platform and tentatively probed down.
"We're not too far from the entrance, and we can still see the light at the bottom of the tower from here."
His debriefing caused a small discussion, and when Reins turned to look at them, everyone stopped talking for a moment.
"This platform is much bigger than what you see." She said calmly, "You're still in a normal area, but remember, any step further from me can lead to a space, and the most important thing is that there is not only one space here. β
Ignoring the commotion caused by the words, Reins turned around and drew a pattern in the air with her hand.
One after another of magical rays of light struck out with her fingers, weaving beautiful trajectories in the air, gradually forming some kind of fixed pattern.
"You can walk according to the color of the magic." Rhines glanced at the intricate patterns on the ground, and frowned deeply, "Follow me first to red, and then change according to the situation." β
The patterns on the ground are intricate, and there are no rules. Circles and irregular shapes are fine, but lines are not a place where humans can walk.
The space on the platform is not only built on the ground, but also triggered when some space is in the air. She had to choose one of them first.
Depending on where the magic flowed, she was barely able to mark the pathways that led to different spaces with different triggers. But the slinted area wasn't within their reach anywayβshe wondered what kind of mentality the god Konsterzny had in mind when he built the tower.
Thankfully, there wouldn't be more than one space on the same vertical plane, otherwise she would have been the only one to pass through.
But actually, getting through here isn't what they're going to do. They had to find a way to find Roseos, but she already had some ideas.
Rossos couldn't carry everything into a space at once, they had to choose to enter and exit multiple times, or carve out a passage from the space that would connect to Roses' base. Either way, there are traces left behind, because these spaces are the work of a deity, and only that deity himself can erase any presence in his space.
This time, people are becoming more cautious in the footsteps of Rheinz. There are almost no gaps between these areas, and the trigger area of each space is not large, which means that they have to stand carefully in this area - even a wave of their hand can be sucked into another dimension.
"Watch out, I'm going to change the color."
Reins only warned Rosier, and she didn't say which position she was going to switch, because she was worried that some fool behind her would get distracted, and went straight to the color area around her.
She created an invisible staircase in the air and slowly stepped on it. There were enough colors here that she couldn't make new ones to confuse other people's brains.
The process of walking is thrilling, but the most grinding thing is that they can't see the end. The platform seemed to be in sight, but they kept walking forward for nearly an hour, and still didn't reach the other end of the platform.
It's easy to be distracted, and Rossiel and her combat team have plenty of combat experience to keep themselves awake as soon as possible. Biancole could only rely on Kilde's constant whispering reminders to keep her alert.
"Ready to stop."
After Rhines gave the order, he took another step forward before he actually stopped. There was always a buffer time for people to hear orders and carry them out, and she didn't want to stop suddenly and cause the people behind her to bump into one by one, and finally end up scattered into different spaces.
Even she would have a headache.
"You're waiting here." Reins turned to Rocsil and said, "I can feel an anomalous space around here, I'm going to look for it." β
Rossiel nodded, standing motionless, her teammates following suit. Biancom and Kryd, who were at the end of the group, didn't have any objections, but Kylde was eager to let Bianko stay in a safe place and wait for the matter to be over before returning to him.
"There's a different voice in front of the left." Biankop shouted at the front of the line, "It's like there's a hole in somewhere, and the wind is blowing." The places we walked over were as nice as wind chimes, and it wasn't the same as this one. β
Reines paused for a moment, then glanced back at Bianco, nodded slightly, and headed to the left.
"Won't it be noisy?" Kilde looked thoughtfully into Bianko's ears, "There are too many magical elements here. β
"It's fine." The dark-haired girl blinked, she wanted to turn back and lean into her husband's arms, but the environment didn't allow her to mess around, "Phigie taught me how to distinguish between what my soul hears and what my ears hear, and I can turn off my soul's hearing for a while as I wish." I just thought I might be able to hear something useful in the tower. β
The girls marked with black wings have a special ability that comes from the soul fragment of the god of death, Valutto. In fact, their eyes, ears, and brains are not physically different, but their abilities are strengthened by the power of their souls.
"Turn it off if it's uncomfortable." "If they hurt you, it's too late for you to regret itβI hope the accident at Timaetown and the effects of that pill in Deparry will still leave a little impression on you." β
Biancole cowered her neck, and it was clear that she still remembered those experiences.
"You don't think you'll be so lucky in the future just because these two times were easily solved, right?" "If that's the case," he said, "I'll tell my mother that I need to increase your training course a lot." β
Biancola shook her head quickly, and although Ligella had minimized the number of classes she had to attend, it was still a painful process for a girl who had not received any serious education until the age of 18.
I don't know how long it has been, but the legs and feet of the people who are standing there are numb, but they still have to stand here in good shape. It's torture for everyone, but it's also a workout.
Before they could feel their limits coming, the colored light beneath their feet suddenly vanished.
"Don't panic!" Rossiel reacted quickly, "Don't move yet, wait a while, Your Excellency Reins will come back and explain the situation to us." β
The words were reassured, but Roselle herself was beating the drums in her own heart. She knew that Rhines would not be defeated by the enemy so easily, but Trareson's environment was too out of bounds, and everyone knew that humans could not fight the gods.
Their luck was clearly not that bad, though.
"Good response, Roselle." The silver-haired mercenary's familiar heel "click" sounded, "When the unknown happens, if you're not sure where it's safe, stay where you are." β
Reins appeared from not far away, walking straight towards them.
"Okay, don't be here anymore." "I found one of the emergency settings in this tower, which was able to temporarily shut down the space system on the platform," she said lightly. The device looked like it had been used quite a few times, and that's how the people of Roses should have gotten in and out. β
When she said this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The pressure on the nerves from staying here was too great, and they were going to exhaust themselves before they could see Rossos.
"Excuse me, will this attract Roses's attention?" Relieved, Rossiel immediately asked, "Is there any way they know about the outside world?" β
"It's going to happen." Reins nodded, "According to my guess, this device will bring about quite a fluctuation in mana, and the personnel inside the space must know that something is happening. Prepare for battle, and when the effect of the device is over, the people of Roses will definitely come out to investigate the situation. β
"Can't they get out during this time?"
"That's right." Reins shrugged, "Protecting people inside and outside the space at the same time is equivalent to binding the hands and feet of both sides at the same time. β
"I'm not trying to be opportunistic, I'm just a little curious." Rossiel paused for a moment and blinked at Rheinth, "If we keep getting stuck in time to activate that device, will the people of Roses have to stay there for the rest of their lives?" β
Reins was suspiciously silent for a moment, then she glanced meaningfully at Rossiel.
"I don't think it's opportunistic." She couldn't help but smirk, "If we don't have to lose our time to do it, this is a pretty useful skill for dealing with enemies." It's just that taking our own time is not worth the loss. β
