Crackling -

Static electricity poured out from the great magic circle on the ground, covering several of us like magnets.

These blue-blue sparks look beautiful, forming a large net around us, neither touching us nor moving away from us.

"Now, this magic is in your hands"

"Hmm!"

I pushed the magic to the guardian elves in my mind, and I could have maintained this magic with very little mana, but now I can't.

Moggree, my guardian elf, I'm a little skeptical that his old bones are capable of wielding this near-cooling magic.

"Let's get started"

Max gasped for breath as he said three words, as if he was almost going to kill him by activating the magic.

It hurts!

Heart-piercing pain!

Something in black and white came straight out of my head and went down my spine.

This is......

Icy magic.

Although distinctly black and white, these two streams of magic are as cold as liquid air or even liquid nitrogen.

It's as if even the vibrations of the atoms are dulled by this low temperature.

Huhuhu-

This cold flow of mana broke through any defense I could in an instant.

Immediately after, a violent emotion rushed out of my mind.

This is......?

A heart-wrenching pain came through my chest again.

This is probably Moggrey's hatred.

The feelings of this guardian elf have far surpassed any emotion I have ever experienced.

So much so that in the first few seconds of this emotion hitting me, I couldn't even tell what it was.

It's so deep that even a person's soul can be torn apart......

At this moment when our feelings overlapped slightly, I seemed to understand his intentions a little.

Mogori spent the rest of his life in the boundless desert.

The banished elves, every fragment of his will, are filled with bitter hatred.

Now this undead is leaping to the ground.

Ready for any chance of returning to this world for revenge.

The old elf seemed to spread his hands, easily constructing the flow of magic in my memory.

Drive it calmly.

Or rather, it looks more like they're playing with this little spell.

It's like a vicious prisoner passing the time of boredom before waiting for the verdict to be pronounced.

Zlazzlazla-

The sound of static electricity pulled my consciousness back into the real world.

The blue grid in front of him was still flashing with electricity, and Max was already sitting on the ground tired.

Magic...... Maintained?

"Do it...... Good ......"

The breathless elves struggled to raise their hands and unleash their all-important magic.

Whew――

Suddenly, a great force lifted us up.

It seems to put us ...... Load into a cannon......

It felt very bad to me.

"Wait, let me do a mental ......"

Before I could finish, Max threw his hands up.

Boom -

"Whoa, whoa—"

In the screams of Ellie and I hugging each other, a violent force that could make you unconscious boil from the ground.

Blew up a large area of houses around us, throwing us into the air.

"Liu Xiao!"

"I'm holding it"

The girl put her arms around my waist and almost threw me off.

Under the impact of this force, we flew straight into the maelstrom in the air.

Hurt!

All the nerves in my head felt like they were going to freeze, and the chill from Mogory gave me a sharp headache.

But now my fate hangs by a thread, and I can't retreat here unless I rush forward!

"Up-ah-"

The tremendous force that rushed us up had just weakened, and suddenly there was a tremendous force pulling us upward.

This is...... The power of the five auxiliary magic created by Max.

It's as if the violent currents of the water attract the objects around us, pulling us towards that violent vortex in the air.

"I'm not going to lose!"

Desperately reaching out with two hands to approach our blue static grid, working with Moggery to keep the flow of mana accurate and smooth.

At the same time, he endured severe pain.

It's all pushing me to the limit......

Whoosh -

As he approached the portal whirlpool, he heard a scream in the air, followed by endless darkness.

Cracks in the world.

Creatures lose all sense here, even the sense of time disappears in an instant.

I felt as if there were countless skates standing around me, as if I had stumbled on the ice sheet of Antarctica and fell into an ice cave that stretched out to no apparent extent.

There are sharp icicles everywhere, and with a little bad luck, you'll have to wait for a thousand years from now.

It must have been Max's magic at work that kept this impression in my mind.

At least, it's not dead yet, which shows that things are still going well......

"Ahh

As hearing regained slightly, vision gradually returned.

My body seemed to pass through the cracks of the world before my consciousness, so much so that I seemed to be already shouting something, but I didn't know it myself.

“...... Drop it......"

Fall?

Even though it came out of my mouth, I didn't have any impression.

Hey?

"We're going down!"

As if it had really been blasted out by artillery, now the three of us who were tightly hugged were at the top of the parabola, accelerating their fall.

"Elgonda!"

Ellie's voice sounded small in the turbulent airflow, but it was calm and full of joy at the same time.

I could barely control my eyes, and in the vertigo caused by the rapid fall, I could see the direction in which we were falling.

Rolling golden mountains, and palaces perched on the ridge like a sleeping beast.

The royal city of Ergonda!

U-buzz-buzz

Suddenly, a strong force came to him.

It's as if we were thrown out of the iron, intimidated by a huge magnet.

The trajectory of our fall begins to change, and at the same time ...... Start slowing down.

Listening to the sound of whirring air, the vertigo caused by free fall also began to weaken.

As if guided by some kind of entry procedure, we landed exactly at the mid-level palace in Ergonda.

Is that...... A tall tower.

So that's the territory of the Spruce family?

That's the core building of this portal magic.

Passing through the sparse clouds, we landed safely on the top of the tower.

As soon as I landed, I squatted on the floor.

Not only were my legs completely numb, but my whole body was numb.

"Hey!"

Elle let go of me and took a step forward, seemingly very fond of the buildings carved out of yellow rock.

"Brother, are you alright?"

"U, U, it's"

I wanted to speak, but my mouth and throat were completely unresponsive, and I couldn't say a single word clearly.

"It's okay, let him rest"

Ellie turned around and said like a professional doctor.

"The guardian elf of the imp, some of the magic is oozing out"

Liu Xiao seemed to understand the situation, and reached out and touched my forehead.

I feel that Liu Xiao's palms are hot, so in her senses, my whole person should be cold.

But Ellie is really sensitive, oh no, probably, it was my pain, and it was passed on to her through the soul link.

Whew――

I let out a few long breaths.

Feel the warm blood flow out of your heart and into your limbs.

Gradually, the numb body regained its warmth.

"It's a little weird."

Liu Xiao suddenly said.

Hey?

I just noticed that there was no one to answer us?

Wait, that's ......

The whole royal city was silent.

Although when I came before, the impression was not too noisy, but ......

There is no living breath at all like this, but it has never been seen before.

It's so quiet that you can hear even the rustle of animals crawling in the distance.

"That"

Elle looked up at the sky.

I followed her gaze as I looked......

It's mine...... Oh God.

What is that?

The whole sky, above the sparse clouds, was all black and purple.

It's not the bright blue or dark blue that the sky should have, it's not gray, it's ...... Curtain-like color.

If you look closely, this thing has a curvature.

Other words......

It was as if a large hood had been fastened over the entire land of the Dawn Mountains.

We left the human world early in the morning, so it's evening in the Aurora World.

The last rays of sunlight of the setting sun fell through this large cover, but our vision could not penetrate from the inside, so we could only see the golden light and not the sunset.

This is...... What magic!?
