【Conjurer】

Possession: An enchanted dagger and a spell book

……

Inside the cottage.

The man has already eaten the second moss cake. He gobbled it up, scraps sticking to his fingers and cheeks.

It was also the last bit of food ration for the family.

The girl was scared.

It's not a good decision to let a man into the house, she thought.

But what can she do? Her thin stubble-like arms were so fragile that resistance would only lead to worse results.

She cowered into the corner to make herself look smaller.

Noticing movement in the corner, the man stopped.

"Here's for you."

Something was lost.

It fell to the ground in front of the maiden. It's soft. The girl timidly stretched out her hand.

She opened it. It was a cloth wrap.

"We're leaving. Get out of here," said the man, "take everything you can with you." ”

Going?

The girl didn't understand.

Bring me? Why? Where to go?

The man looked at the girl for a moment. Seeing that she didn't move, he added another sentence.

"Weapons, food, equipment. Anything goes. He said, "There is no food or water left for three days around here, and you will die if you stay here." ”

The girl nodded blankly, then shook her head again.

"I don't have anything."

There is nothing in this home. Weapons, food, equipment, nothing.

The man frowned.

"How did you survive?"

"My brother...... My brother will bring back food. ”

The man's eyes flickered. Like a beast that has caught its prey.

He scared the girl again.

"Where did your brother go?"

The man asked.

"West Side ......"

"I'm coming from the west. I didn't see anything that looked like a transparent clump...... Like a young man. ”

The girl was silent. Seeing this, the man pushed the table aside and stood up.

"Let's go."

He picked up the cloth wrap and carried it on his back.

The girl realized that it was his package.

It's empty in there, too.

"Don't wait." The man said to the girl, "Let's go, stop by to find your brother." ”

……

Yes...... Yes.

Walking out of the low and gray hut with a young woman who was at least ten years younger, Zheng Zhuo sighed in his heart.

(Helpers are gone...... ）”

Zheng Zhuo looked at the girl behind him with his afterglow, looking up to the sky and sighing.

Zheng Zhuo fell into this world with the golden [Rebel] card. The young woman, the transparent mass, and him were all together before they landed on the ground, but were separated by the impact when they touched the ground.

Luckily, Zheng Zhuo grabbed the golden card. He followed him into the Lord's Castle to the west and landed with the gold card.

This time, perhaps without the additional constraints of [Pure White Space] or that computer, the gold card directly arrived at the destination with Zheng Zhuo. Zheng Zhuo landed at the top of the castle. There, there were several thick spikes that sprouted outward.

At the tip of the spike, a corpse was inserted.

Saying it was a corpse, in fact, they all lifted him up. Hanging so high, he was rotted, weathered, and eaten by birds from the neck down, and only a head remained. The eyeballs were gouged out by the birds, and the hollow eye sockets seemed to be round and pierced through the spikes.

It was this only remaining head that helped Zheng Zhuo determine his identity.

He is a rebel.

(Is there anything I can do?) ）”

Zheng Zhuo looked around. He found a reddish dagger and the cover of a spell book.

It's all torn inside. Many pages were blown away, and Zheng Zhuo searched for a long time, and finally found a page of [Fireball Technique] that was hung by the city wall.

Zheng Zhuo used the short sword to send out a fireball. The fireball hits the middle of the spike, and the skull falls.

The golden card that had been pinched by Zheng Zhuo had a reaction at this time. It flew forward, merging into the skull.

The skull dissipated. A golden light began to glow from the surroundings.

……

That's it!

Zheng Zhuo was shocked. He didn't expect it to be so soon—neither the young woman and her brother who had fallen together had been found—

But in the golden light, there was a strong thrust.

“（！ ）”

There seemed to be a myriad of unseen forces passing through the golden light. Both the [Rebel] card and Zheng Zhuo were retreated by this great force.

The golden light appeared a few more times. However, it's the same every time.

The Rebel card, which became dazzling, fell silent. Zheng Zhuo stretched out his hand.

Unlike the cold, ethereal feeling of any previous touch of a card, this card is lukewarm and weightless.

(Rebel is already on this card...... But there is no way back to the real world. ）”

Zheng Zhuo thought.

(Is there no way to leave through the [Golden World]?) ）”

Previously, he had seen the computer in the [real world] in the [Golden World] attack the participants.

Those attacks have to pass through the Golden World. Now, the battle is clearly getting more intense. There's probably a lot of chaos in there.

(Can I still leave?) ）”

Zheng Zhuo wasn't sure at all.

He has entered the [Subconscious World] three times in a row. He didn't feel anything unusual now, but he still had a strong sense of concern.

If you stay that long, you may not be able to go back.

However, there was nothing he could do about it.

This time, he still fell into this world without any ability. To make matters worse, this time there is no hint of even the time when you fell in.

"Has it completely stopped......

Zheng Zhuo had no choice but to try to move in the direction of the young woman and the transparent clump he saw when he just fell.

This walk is three days.

There is no diet, just a small amount of dirty water and a large number of deformed monsters.

Zheng Zhuo dodged all the way, seduced, and finally met the young woman with great difficulty. However, her state is even worse than Zheng Zhuo's.

Don't say if you have [ability] or not. Unexpectedly, even the memory was lost.

Moreover, the transparent mass was nowhere to be found.

Zheng Zhuo sighed again.

Feeling that the girl behind him was a little uneasy because of his attitude, he stopped again.

(Anyway, you'll have to figure it out.) ）”

Along the way, Zheng Zhuo was not completely without gains.

Before finding the young woman, he had been making a detour to avoid a group of monsters with antlers on their heads, when he passed several deformed travelers.

In a hoarse voice, they recited verses that Zheng Zhuo could not understand at all, and said that this world was a world that had been abandoned.

"Broken holes everywhere!"

They said.

"Spots of light and black holes are devouring! Those are the windows of the world, and we will all be overwhelmed by them—"

They passed by Zheng Zhuo there.

They say that they are going to the window of the world and end all this suffering early.

At that time, Zheng Zhuo asked them where they were going.

A small group of travelers said they were going to the southwest. There is an eternal burning, never-extinguishing flame.

A small group of travelers said they were going to the northwest. There are dragon-slaying spears stuck in the ground, connecting the sky and the earth.

The last group of travelers said they were going due west. Just beneath the Lord's Castle lies the largest, deepest Cave of Despair.

They were the target of travelers.

But now, Zheng Zhuo thought, they would be his target.
