Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

As we raised altitude, the hull of the Sirius and our bodies aboard it were engulfed in blurred light.

A warm, calming feeling. There was something reassuring about being protected by something big.

It is the protection of the Spirit King. Air tightness is ensured, but an increase in altitude would mean that the surrounding environment is gradually becoming harsh.

"Is there anyone who isn't involved in protection and feels ill?

I'm talking about covering for what I want to protect. If there is a man whose protection has not arrived, he shall have him returned to Termwilds. Because it is too dangerous to cross a vain sea.

Stop raising altitude once and check the situation.

"Call and confirm. It's a matter of human life, so don't be clueless. Especially those who can't make it to the battlefield, and those who are unscrupulous may leave."

"Ha."

Elliot's instructions will examine the condition of the Knights of the Demons.

This one's here to check with everyone.

"We have no problem."

"Mm-hmm. The Alfreds are fine."

"We're fine too."

Workshop group, Forceto and Scion to party members. The confirmation of everyone on the bridge is progressing.

"We're fine, too. Corliss and the others, we're checking now... yeah. You're gonna be okay."

And Princess Stephania smiled. If you look at it on the monitor, you can see that Corliss and Lindblum in the stables are also properly wrapped around the protection.

They are the flying dragons who look at their own bodies and look at them.

"What about Tesdiros and the others?

"We have no problem."

Tesdilos and Wimberg, both of whom seem to have received the protection of the Spirit. At the moment, it was my biggest concern... If it means the two of you are okay, then there is no problem.

Hmm. No problem with Valor or Cadkeus, he said.

"Confirmation of the Knights of the Demons has also been completed. Coverage seems to be reaching everyone."

Nodding at Elliot's words.

"Now we will step by step accelerate the ship from this. Secure your body firmly in your seat until you move to a stable flight at maximum speed and be as safe as possible."

That being said, wait until the confirmation and reporting of the belt attachment by the vocal tube is complete - touch the control ball when it is ready, and move the Sirius according to the sailing procedure.

Magic light erupts from all over, and the sight outside moves with the load on the body.

It's already quite advanced. What you can see from the monitor is a world made up of blue in the sea and sky or white in the sumptuous clouds. Higher altitudes are herd blue, not even clouds.

The tropospheric interface - the altitude that hits the boundary between the troposphere and the stratosphere - is where the clouds are missing. Sure, there was a jet airflow, and I wonder if it was high enough for a passenger plane to fly on Earth. Well, to the moon, there's still a long way to go...

I can see a cloud sea spreading beneath my eyes flowing away and backwards with fierce momentum. In addition to increasing altitude, the ship itself is gaining considerable speed.

The ship has already sailed according to the procedure. All I have to do is check the moon and ship coordinates from time lapse, recording the direction of travel, and see if the voyage is progressing as planned. Recalculate and correct it if there is a mistake, because it is in the job...... I have not seen any anomalies, especially so far, and Alpha is holding back near the cockpit in a calm manner. Converted magic occurs if the hull is overloaded, so if there is a major anomaly, it can be sensed immediately.

That said, it's not like a normal journey. You should stay nervous and come to work.

The view outside goes from herd blue to blue close to black. The scenery is gradually changing, and the view you see under your eyes is also transformed into what can be called a panoramic view of Rungald itself, rather than a land, a sea plain or a cloud sea. The shape of the continent, or beyond the horizons and horizons that draw a gentle curve...

"This is Rungardo......"

"Beautiful..."

Rosemary and Ashley mutter. Everyone seemed to be blinded by the sight they could see from the monitor, too. Sure, because I can't see anything like this anywhere else.

"The Sirius is working as planned. We're in a stable flight, so it's okay to move some out of your seat. However, it is forbidden to leave the ship. Don't forget that there is no air outside, so it is a life-threatening place without protection. When you're done and back in your seat, don't forget to fix your body."

The Sirius has already reached its maximum speed. Put in an announcement telling you what's going on and take a breather. The journey is going well.

A three-unit interlocking floating furnace lifts the hull itself and an eruption of magical light gives a fierce momentum… in high speed flight towards the moon.

Magic light propulsion consumes magic accordingly, but there is also a wealth of people who can replenish magic, and the magic potion is well stocked. It is also possible to magically convert physical shocks… and there is no anxiety in the fuel relationship.

"I'm in a stable flight, which means now would it be okay to talk a little bit?

And, Tesdiros calls out.

"Right. If anything goes wrong, we can talk."

The correct coordinates for the appointment and the actual real-time coordinates are in the form displayed on the crystal plate. I don't have to be the only one with the ritual working correctly or my eyes like plates.

Old Siegmund and Valentina, Charlotte and Alfred, and Cadkeus, have looked at the numbers around them.

"Then...... There's nothing else to talk about. It's about Istrum."

Right. I told Tesdiros I wanted to talk to him.

Take a gentle, deep breath to calm your mind before you talk. When I looked at everyone who looked just a little worried and nodded like it was okay, they nodded again, too.

He has a cause. You should try to be calm because you do.

Calm down. Sure. Think to give him guidance.

... - Okay. Okay, let's just say we listen. I also want to hear about the circumstances and movements of various demons, not just Istrum.

As for Istrum, he cooperated with the Vallos faction, but he also had another thought, so I guess it doesn't mean that the Tesdiros and the others know everything about his actions.

"He is one of four demons in charge of the sealing and liberation of the beads, sealed in a spiritual garden in Belliondola."

"Four, when it comes to..."

"Lord Vallos the Unknown, and Lord Luceriage the Dance Sword, Gardinis the Black Skeleton, and Istrum."

... I see. As other high-ranking demons, one of them had a fiery Zevion or a corroded princess Alverinde...

Zevion wasn't around for those jobs, so I guess he came first to Termwilds as a personnel filling the hole where Lynette was gone.

And with Zevion not returning, he changed his policy from obstruction of re-sealing by obtaining treasure to destruction of the junction by beads. Luceriage and Gardinis have broken into the Spirit Hall, aiming for the jewels, so that they can both go.

Alverinde, on the other hand, was the former Crown Prince of Silvatoria… it was his role to obtain the key to activate the moon's ship by installing cooperation and not caging it in order to gain the credibility of Zadias.

Neptune Waldom is more positioned as a collaborator than a Vallos faction, and either way, he couldn't move under seal.

In this way, there were a small number of high-ranking demons who could be called executives, and they were full of things. If Zevion loses, send the Awakening Demon class to Termwilds, there's nothing you can do.

"Eventually all the seals of the beads were lifted... but by then they had lost Gardinis, and their bellies had stormed out of haste, and during the keys, they had been solemnly cleansed by Lord Vallos and Istrum, occupying an important facility called"

"As a result, we have consolidated the bond..."

... has that happened? Gardinis' belly, huh?

"How to fight Istrum?

"We weren't there, so we didn't see it in person then. There were other demons who responded to the bellies, and they were taking control of them elsewhere. That's why I hear... there's a few problems."

"It is forbidden for us to go around lightly with other demons because we have seen their abilities. In particular, Istrum's abilities seemed to be quite daunting…"

Claudia and Rosemary nod at the words.

"That's well... I guess. Knowing your abilities is synonymous with knowing your weaknesses."

"I wonder if Vallos fought with us, or even shortly after Solemn Qing. There's no way I could be solemnized without just rumours."

Right. Given the ability of the demons to say so, and Istrum's character, circumstances, etc., it is not surprising that we all talk when we think that there is one thing in our bellies even if we are just talking about rumors, and there is not enough for even a few lives.

Does that mean he doesn't know how to fight except when he kills the demons during the showdown?

"I'm sorry. I wish I had more eyes on him."

"No. It's impossible to foresee everything."

Answering that, Tesdiros closed his eyes. Then I open my mouth again.

"Yeah, maybe. Anything else to do with him... Right. Istrum has been in charge of several jobs since the incident."

"What do you mean?

"First, repair the castle. The site, damaged and degraded by past battles and years, was filled with that black building material and replaced with a black castle by covering the outer shell. I hear this was to repair the castle and boost our defense."

Yeah. That's sort of... right. It's not enough to act as a moving fortress while it's still destroyed. Istrum does not know if it is due to ability or alchemy, but it has reinforced the castle and magically inhibited communication between life instruction and seekers.

"How many other jobs do you have?

"Oh. I was in charge of making demons using moon ship equipment. This is what I heard directly from Lord Vallos, so there's no mistake."

When Ashley asked, Tesdiros replied that way.

"... I see"

… it's a job to make demons. Was it because Istrum was involved that this one had more enemy power than I had first anticipated?

Was it highly efficient by instilling magic and concern into the equipment? Or does it have to do with his abilities?

Given that he is the body of the King of Dead Sleep, there is no wonder that such an artist could have done so. But given that some of my abilities are sealed by my mother... it becomes harder to assert whether that is my ability or due to intellectual aids.

Istrum is originally the people of the Moon themselves, because it is not surprising that they knew the means to streamline.

Is it due to ability or knowledge? I cannot be certain at the moment, but I will not be alarmed in any case. The information now would be something to keep in mind.
