Chapter 12: The Last Days
Wide space, white as far as the eye can see. Countless doors float in mid-air, some wide open, some closed, and some looming, ready to disappear at any moment.
This is...... Which?
Frida stood in the middle of the space, looking at the floating doors, the confusion in her eyes fading.
A message came to her mind.
Ancient wizards, witchcraft, plane keys......
Frida finally understood why in his previous life he wore this crystal and always had some bizarre dreams, and in this life, this crystal could even help her meditate.
In the general history of the wizarding continent, there are some records of ancient wizards conquering other planes. However, due to a number of reasons, a fault line has emerged in the wizarding world.
There is no clear historical record of what happened to this fault, but since the fault, there has been no wizard who can conquer other planes, and many high-level meditation methods and witchcraft have also been lost. The wizard profession has also declined.
As a result, this fault age has become a sign of the end of antiquity.
And through the information transmitted by this crystal, Frida knew part of the situation in this fault age—the invasion of species beyond the ancient wizards, the destruction of the era, and the blockade of the plane......
This information is very complicated, and Frida has to make up the general situation by herself: while the ancient wizards have conquered other planes with their great strength, they have also attracted more powerful enemies than the wizard system. After a series of events, the passage between the wizarding world and other planes was sealed......
And this crystal is the crystallization of the wisdom of one of the ancient wizards who failed to return before the wizarding world was locked down, a wizard with the function of recording and reaching the plane - an existence comparable to a pseudo-artifact.
After the Wizard's Fall, it traveled to several planes, and finally ran out of energy and fell to the ground, where it was bought by Frida in her previous life and carried with her.
Those bizarre dreams are actually the events of the real world recorded by the witchcraft - it was in this unconscious situation that Frida became connected with the witchcraft in her previous life, becoming the half-new owner of the witchcraft.
That's why he was able to cling to the witchcraft after death, until it accumulated the energy to cross the plane again, and took him to the wizarding world where the seal was loose, possessed Frida, and fused with the girl's soul.
The witchcraft finally fulfilled the fallen wizard's last wish, but his owner was never seen again.
And the door here is the coordinates of all the planes that the ancient wizards have reached.
If it's open, you can still go. The one that is closed is blocked. Looming is the imminent collapse of the plane. What is half-hidden, that is, there is a blockade, but it has been loosened.
The wizarding world is in its last state.
- As the long years have passed, the wizarding plane, which was once blocked by the ancient wizards, has once again opened up contact with other planes.
Only this time, the wizarding world has fallen.
That's all for Frida. And Frida, with the witch weapon activated by her spiritual power, officially became the owner of the plane key.
As the new owner of the artifact, Frida knows which plane each door is connected to.
So, does this mean ...... Can she go back?
Back to Earth, back to the place where her other half of her soul lived?
Frida thought, following the instructions given by the witchcraft, and stood in front of a looming door.
Is it about to collapse? What's going on?
Frida was stunned for a moment, if it wasn't for the magic weapon, then the plane she used to be in......
Frida subconsciously pushed the door open.
In an instant, the existing realm energy of the witchcraft was immediately reduced by three-quarters.
After a strong feeling of suffocation, Frida felt the flow of air and opened her eyes, which were filled with familiar and unfamiliar scenes.
Under the dim sky, although there are high-rise buildings, they are dilapidated, like ruins. There was also a faint smell of blood in the air.
The cold wind carried sand and gravel from nowhere. The environment is quite harsh.
At this moment, Frida was standing on the edge of the roof of a building, looking at the apocalyptic scene in front of her, her heart full of doubts.
There is even radiation...... Nuclear leakage?
Frida is no stranger to radiation - every wizard, even a wizard's belongings, emits more or less radiation. In other words, wizards themselves are sources of radiation, and formal wizards are high-energy particle radiators.
But this is clearly not the case with the planet.
Frida looked down at the ruined streets, corpses, dusty vehicles, dried bloodstains - if there were any more zombies or mutated monsters, it was Resident Evil, and Frida believed it.
Suddenly—
Wow!
Strange screams came from a distance, and Frida looked up to see several black dots flying towards her at high speed in the distance, and a moment later, Frida could see their faces—six bright red pterosaurs!
...... No, not a pterodactyl!
Compared to pterosaurs, these six monsters are more like a low-level abyssal beast that a witchcraft has encountered - but it is a species from another plane, how can it appear on Earth?
And it seems to have mutated?
While Frida was stunned, six abyssal pterodactyls had come to Frida's vicinity, forming a triangle and surrounding Frida, and they were about to attack—
Frida raised her hand, "Petrificus Totalus." ”
Six abyssal pterosaurs stopped at the curse.
Petrification, one of the Tier 0 sorcery, works by immobilizing people.
As for Level 0 sorcery, Frida is already familiar with it due to time rewinding. As for the petrification technique, after Frida reaches the first-class apprenticeship, as long as the creature with lower mental power than her, can be fixed for a short time.
The foul stench, the sharp teeth, the dried blood—from the two of the cracked mouths, Frida could even see some remnants of her internal organs.
With a wave of her hand, the six Abyssal Pterodactyls fell from the air in a daze, smashing on the concrete floor with a thud.
Frida looked down and saw that four of the six abyssal pterosaurs that had fallen were no longer moving, two were still twitching, and one of them even wanted to fly.
But the ground was clearly no longer their territory—thousands of black bugs suddenly surged in from all directions, covering six Abyssal Pterodactyls in an instant.
Frida only heard two terrible chirps, and when she looked again, the sea of worms had receded. There were only six skeletons left in the same place, and when the wind blew, they completely fell apart.
Frida's pupils shrank slightly.
Whether it is the six abyssal beasts or the black worm sea, they are not the creatures that the earth should be.
...... Dimensional invasion?
This is the only way possible!
Frida frowned slightly, wanting to activate the witchcraft, but the information from the witchcraft revealed that with her current first-class witch spirit, she would have to stay on Earth for at least a month before she could accumulate enough realm energy to return to the wizarding world.
This is a general return. Frida can also forcibly induce the artifact to make an emergency return, but at the cost of the artifact going dormant for a long period of time to replenish the loss of emergency realm energy.
Impulsive.
You shouldn't have rushed over without understanding the witch weapon!
Not to mention she's unprepared!
Frida regrets it, but it has happened, and her regret has been in vain.
The danger is on the one hand, and time on the other - according to the records of the Wizards, the passage of time in all planes is equal! That is, as long as she stays on Earth, as long as time passes on the wizarding world.
Fortunately, things are not without turnaround.
On the one hand, she was in the ashram, and no one knew she was gone. On the other hand, there is also a chance to force her to return, which will allow her to go back.
Just by doing so, the dormancy of the witchcraft becomes inevitable.
But Frida had no choice, and if she stayed on Earth for too long, she would have trouble returning to the wizarding world!
A student disappeared from the ashram. Frida's head grows when she thinks about it. If you go back in a month, it's too late.
Of course, you can choose not to go back to the wizarding world, but this is not realistic.
Judging from the current situation, it is clear that something has happened to the Earth, and it is likely that it is an invasion from other planes. Other factors are not mentioned for the time being, and the risk index is very high.
Just the sea of insects, she can't deal with it in other words.
Although, emotionally, the male soul Frida leans towards the earth, otherwise she wouldn't have come over uncharacteristically without using her brain. But, rationally, Frida must return to the wizarding world.
Not immediately, but not more than 9 hours at most—when she entered the ashram, it was around 21 o'clock in Earth time, and although she was breaking through and no one was disturbing, it was easy for wizards to notice that she was missing in the early morning.
...... That's 6 hours.
After 6 hours, she must return to the wizarding world no matter what the situation. And as a lesson this time, the witchcraft should be dormant for a while, and she admitted it.
Frida made up her plan, turned around, and headed downstairs.
- She urgently needed some information to determine if this was Earth or not, and what was going on.
