Half-planes

Through these two years of study, Happy Encounters have made some summaries of Golantia's worldview. The theory here is that the multiverse is divided into four main parts: the inner realm, the outer realm, the main material plane, and the connectivity realm.

The Connected Realm refers to the ordinary passage-like planes such as the Shadow Realm, the Astral Realm, and the Spirit Realm, which connect countless worlds.

The Outer Realm is a collective term for the planes inhabited by high-level beings such as gods or abyss lords, celestials or demons and demons, and other powerful people.

The main physical side is where the mortal race lives, and generally speaking, other transcendent beings do not interfere too much in the mortal world on the surface. There are many kinds of main material planes, ranging from a single picture-like world with almost infinite space, to a world called the universe composed of planets and stars that existed before the meeting. By the way, Corantia is a planet, but the people here have not yet developed manned spaceflight...... They have teleportation and flight, but they are too far away to rely on these alone.

The inner realm includes the four elemental planes of water, fire, air, and earth, as well as the planes of positive energy and negative energy, and the world is composed of these six components.

Although he was reluctant to admit it at first, a large amount of data and cases made him finally accept such a world.

And the next thing we want to go to is a special world-half-plane.

The half-plane is a world of extremely limited space and diversity, and depending on the creator, the laws of physics and the environment will vary greatly. Usually the half-planes are created by high-ranking beings such as gods, abyss lords, or mages for vacations, talks, as storehouses, or for the immortality of ancient cults.

No one had expected a group of kobold scouts to really uncover anything, after all, it was impossible for such a half-plane with treasure to be sealed without a large number of guards and traps. And the most important thing is that the guards who know that the few remaining entrance positions in this half-plane have been ready to fight against the invaders for an unknown number of years, and just a few scouts are not enough to see.

Sumesmart, who thought that he had brought enough manpower so he didn't have to rely entirely on such an unreliable human being, was hit hard by reality, and finally faced up to the reality that this time he was going to a place where cannon fodder could play a big role, and finally realized the reliable performance of Xi Xiangyu as a detector.

"It's really a bunch of useless guys, so let's use it as cannon fodder later. Human, what should you have planned? ”

"Don't say that, I think they've worked hard enough, so I'll praise them later. 」

"Huh. ”

The kobolds' scouts encountered a large number of elemental creatures upon entering, and drowned in the water, fighting and retreating, before finally escaping through the portal after paying heavy casualties.

Not to mention how much credibility this statement has, but the general situation can still be inferred.

"The reason why I call this place the Ice Elemental Half-Plane is because this place is more special than the water elemental plane in the books, the temperature inside is extremely low, and most of the elemental creatures have specialized cold abilities, and there is probably no such element as the ice element in this world. 」

"In other words, it's all ice or water, and it's all elemental creatures and traps. It's a place I hate. ”

"Of course, you're a red dragon. The temperature inside is polar, and it is no longer possible to resist it simply by enduring the environment, and we must at least have a certain amount of energy resistance to be able to ensure normal operation. In addition to this, we also need to be able to swim or fly, otherwise it will be very difficult to move. 」

"It's not a problem for you and me, and the minions just need to let the flying ones pick them up to land. As for the low temperature...... Just let them survive by your endurance. ”

These are only the most basic requirements, if you can't achieve them, you can't even be cannon fodder in the next exploration, but because the requirements are not high, the expedition team basically easily gathered most of the conditions.

"Agreed, we can't waste spell slots and blue for them anymore when we get here. 」

"Wait a minute, I can't just agree to what I said just now. ”

At this moment, Allen, who had finished healing for the kobold scout, walked over and seemed to be in a bad mood when he looked at her.

"Since some of them are of little use, let's not bring them in for now, we said that we should try to avoid attrition, right? If I only take some of the elites and all the dragons and lions among them, my remaining mana can still afford to resist energy for a long time. ”

Looking at Allen's determined eyes, he knew that this was already the biggest compromise of this kind half-elf druid. Unless you don't bring any units, there is no room for negotiation.

「...... You're the main caster of the team, so I'll be in charge of supporting me. Red Dragon, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, wait until a safe stronghold is established inside before letting the miscellaneous soldiers in, so it's no problem. 」

The half-elf blinked, not saying anything more.

"If we can do all of this faster, that's fine. ”

"My chain scepter can still be used, so let's decide. On top of that, there's the caretaker we're dealing with, and the entire half-plane is filled with that special water elemental, and in the depths, near the demigods, there are even more advanced elemental creatures, constructs, and traps. 」

While most elemental creatures generally have very low intelligence, constructors have no intelligence at all, and will only act on the instructions of the summoner or creator. The construct is completely immune to spells and abilities that affect the mind (such as the enchantment and illusion of tragedy, which are almost the entire school of thought), and is also immune to toxins, paralysis, instant death, and other tricky states for humans, and there is no obvious weakness, and if you don't smash all the joints, weapons, and cores that can move, you will never stop fighting. Elemental creatures can completely ignore some of the negative states that affect "creatures". Therefore, although they are difficult to use any tactics, as long as the operator is good enough, they can effectively achieve their goals, which can be said to be a very useful tool.

"But that's all in the hands of the Red Dragon, and combat has always been your forte. 」

"It's the easy part, like I ......"

"Take care of yourself. I'll take you as close to our destination as safely as possible, but a trap that is beyond my instincts is not something I can handle. In addition, just in case Eren you only cast spells when necessary, and it is more important to preserve your strength. 」

"You're much more serious this time than last time, is there anything else worth noting?"

"These are just the iron rules of adventure, after all, I don't have a bottom this time, so it's better to be careful. 」
