Hermit Wizard

* * *

After a short walk, I came out to the entrance to the forest and the rolling stopped there. And instead of going further, I decided to go into exploration.

Access to the forest was dangerous for more than a year, but the powerful magic that flows out of the forest seemed to make it difficult to withstand.

“So let me write some navigation magic around here. ”

“Of course.”

Gru nods.

I closed my eyes and focused my mind. This kind of magic doesn't have to borrow the power of a higher being, but it requires extreme concentration.

I know where the branches of the shield tree are, and I can't walk without it. I decided to use the magic to detect the surrounding forest here.

After enough time for my whole body to sweat, I opened my eyes.

“Whoo! Whoo!"

As he sighs and unwinds his body, Gourd asks.

“Did you get something? ”

I shake my head.

“No, unfortunately,

I couldn't have been so lucky from the start.

“Keep this distance and walk further along the forest boundary. ”

“Let's do that. ”

I wrapped my whole body in cold air to cool the sweat. Even though I was careful not to leak out, the scroll hurriedly stepped back to see if I felt cold.

“Oh, I'm sorry. ”

“Hmmm, that's okay. So how are we going to steer it? ”

Gur asked and took out the map and spread it out.

“Let's see, now you can't 100% believe it, but you'd better move on the premise that the map is right. ”

“I agree. Except for the one we met a few hours ago, you've been avoiding them and moving so far. ”

Makes sense. I nod and reach for the map.

“Then we move west. ”

“I won't.”

According to the map, we had to move westward from the current position to move further away from Ashpim's territory.

We took the map and put it in our luggage and got up again.

It was then.

Suzuszec!

I hurriedly looked at the scroll.

“Gourd?! ”

He threw his gaze at me with his complexion white. Eyes stand sharp.

“· · · Am I not mistaken? ”

Something ominous energy is spreading beyond the Silver Rim. I can feel the power of feeling different from the magical power that has made it so hard for us to pass through where we stand.

“Ashpim Giant? ”

“They don't have this ability! This is not magic. ”

Moreover, it is inside the silver rim that this energy extends. If so, · · · · · ·.

“Stan, you must be the savior of Silver Rim?! ”

Grur utters his swearing.

“Damn, this distance is too close! But I said it's okay not to go in the woods! ”

Now that I've come and blamed the Elder, it's no use. I don't know the purpose, but a creature with a powerful power different from the mortal has begun to observe us!

[Run!]

Parvasse shouts in his head in haste.

I don't know why the Old Testament seems interested in us, but I can't just sit there optimistically. It's the desk that never encounters us in the first place, rather than thinking about how an absolute person with a grim power difference will treat us!

Besides, I can't predict how that old man will react to the channel that's open to my chest right now!

I hurriedly told Grur.

“Quickly order a leap now! ”

It was that moment.

Like a sharp rhinoceros digging through a skull, 'will’ is stuck in your head.

Hey, can you look at me for a second?

“ · · · · · ·! ”

At the same time, I felt a pure will to roll with me. It is the call of some being that speaks directly into our heads.

I was overwhelmed by the sound of that moment. It is a strong will unlike the Telepathy that Parvasse writes to me.

Before me and Grur even answered anything, the existence was a horse.

Well, it's too far to see. Come closer.

And the silvery forest that we were looking at began to grow. The tall shield tree grows taller and the forest that looked like a huge silver curtain grows bigger, and the outline of the branches of the forest expands to a more pronounced extent.

What's going on? I knew what this meant soon enough. We are being dragged into the skies, even though we are not moving a single footprint while standing still!

The speed at which we are drawn in is accelerating, and the shield of the outskirts comes right before our noses. If you keep being dragged in like this, you will collide with a tree.

I tried to raise my arms to protect my body at the moment, but my limbs do not move colorlessly.

And as if laughing at my worries, my body passes through the shield as it is. Without any conflicts.

And the faster we get sucked into the depths of the Milky Way. At first, the appearance of the forest was fast enough for a minute, but now the shields I pass through seem blurred. Decades of seconds before the shape of the forest and the trees completely disintegrated into silver rays and passed through me.

Suddenly, his body fades down and his whole field of view bites black.

Is he dead? ’

I still don't feel any sense in my body. No pain. After such a short time, I felt the surrounding environment change rapidly without notice. At the same time, the body's senses returned.

“Huff!”

“Huff, huff! ”

I later realized that we couldn't even breathe while we were being dragged in. Fatal pain in the lungs and head. Me and the rolls swallowed the air like crazy. Fall on your legs and kneel and step on the ground with your hands.

That's how I caught my breath for a while.

Huge cavity. The magic power I shoot upward to determine the structure of the space rises and rises. But the horsepower that shot forward soon hit something and came back to me.

It is clear that the forest is underground. But how can there be such a huge space underground? Moreover, I encountered my magic power on the front, that giant being.

I was bored with the fact that the body of that being was bigger than the shield I had spread in the shepherd's house. And the overwhelming presence that pressed me over that giant body.

His presence spoke to us.

Is it your greeting to stab your opponent with magic? Humans.

“...... ”

I'm not going to say hello the same way. I think you're both going to get crushed.

“...... ”

You can just say it out loud in your mouth, just like you normally do. Then it'll mean something to me. If you answer telepathically, you have too weak a will to understand.

“...... all, you.."

I spit it out close. However, it is not easy to talk about the pressure that seems to have placed hundreds of kilograms of steel on your body. Then I realized what the problem was.

· · · Ah, it was a little crowded for you. It's been too long, too.

As he muttered like that, I felt a slight weakening of our body. Then Grur hurriedly shouts to the creature before his eyes.

“Don't be a horsepower, horsepower! ”

Mm-hmm.

The existence quickly understood the meaning of Gourd's words.

This is probably the area in the central vicinity of the Silver Rim.

It was like a region very close to the nucleus of the shield covering the entire Silver Rim, and a tremendous magical force was boiling up in the atmosphere.

It was only after the strength of the horsepower that the presence was reduced that I could see the presence rolling out.

It is clear that this cavity is underground, but there is a faint blue light surrounding it that does not know its origin. And there is one being in the darkness beyond that, and Orot is watching us.

It was soon to be known that what appeared before my eyes was just a fragment of a very large being. In the dark, where the identification is inaccurate, we see a few things similar to tentacles, and there are eyes in the middle of them watching us. The overwhelming power of this being was emanating from his eyes.

Gur asked in a trembling voice toward him.

“Are you the savior of the Milky Way? ”

That's it.

The answer came back quickly.

“What do you want us to do? ”

Hmmm.

I saw a tentacle in the dark, swooping and moving. I was extremely nervous and barely put up with wanting to jump out of my seat.

Actually, Del, I have more to do with you.

The gaze of the Savior came from Gourd towards me. And I felt the pressing presence that was covering us draw attention to me.

Because of you, human.

“· · · Why, why? ”

No way? No way.

The other dimension that I manage is why this oracle has to protect me.

There are no more humans around here. And your clothes are completely different from the civilization here.

“ · · · · · · ”

You're the human who crossed the channel I opened the most recently, right? You.

“That's right. ”

An ominous feeling sweeps from head to toe.

So you planted the seeds in your heart, too, in your dimension?

Of course! Is this what this is about?

I could barely bear to close my eyes and look at the Savior. Why are we even interested in this?

I called because I wanted to see the seed a little closer. By the way, I called it all the way here.

The power was in the eyes of the Savior.

· · · You guys smell sweet.

I felt a calm yearning for his will.

The moment I felt it, I felt my body shriveling rapidly. Feeling that the intention was unusual, I hurriedly threw a horse at Parvash, who was hiding in the bag.

"The Old Testament also eats the Deadly? ’

[Me, I don't know! I've never heard of a species that had such a huge body before he was born as a savior!]

The savior was a horse.

You both smell sweet and enchanting. There are still signs of the gods.

I felt that the Old Man's eyes were constantly watching us.

Come closer.

Neither of them moved, but I could feel a shorter distance between us and the Saviors. It was a strange sensation similar to when I was drawn to the Silk Forest.

The body of the Old Testament in front of me is still so large that only a part of it can be seen, but my sense of confusion tells me. We know that we are closer to this presence than we were before.

And the overwhelming feeling of pressing us also grew.

At that moment, I felt the overwhelming rush towards the Gour. My gaze seems to be drawn towards the giant next to me.

You are a worshipper of the "predator of Jesus.”

Gur replied in a shallow voice.

“Yes, I am. Old man, I know a spell that borrows the power of. ”

As if he were an unknown god in the parvasse dimension, he could not move his name. It looks like the god who borrowed his power when he used a spell that violently moved the earth and swept away the Ashpims.

As he answers, I can feel the pressure from the Gourd coming over me. A presence that I find hard to sustain in my mind.

And you...

I was silent as if I was trying to count something for a while. I may be mistaken, but his will seemed to have a ridiculous mix of feelings.

What's so mixed up? How many gods do you borrow and use?

I don't know because I didn't count!

When Parvashe borrowed the power of several higher beings, he taught them spells to borrow various divine abilities. I was trained to mix spells and write spells without putting any combat style into any god's spells. I thought this was natural.

There's so much mixed up, I feel a little overly fragrant, even if it's a pleasant smell of God.

However, in the case of the wizards of xenophobic tribes who crossed the Avatar dimension, it was extremely rare for one wizard to borrow the power of more than one god. I thought this was because the ability of a teacher named Parvash was so superior.

Among them, the most recent scents remain are "Star Wind Swimmer” and “Destroying Antelope”.

There seems to be a strong trace of the air bomb spells and vibration explosion spells I used today.

I am the name of those two gods whom the Savior recognizes instead of the true name of the god. I put a Token of Promise in my mouth, the name of a spell to borrow the power of God.

“You will. I wrote a spell borrowing the power of DryFlos and Adeligos today.

· · · Hmm?

The oracle who hears it tugs and throws something in our mind that is not translated into language. Probably a mass of meaning close to emotion.

The human will that is not easy to understand passes through the head, and the human emotions that are closest to this seem to be curiosity, doubt, and little pleasure.

Are you having fun with my answer?

Interesting. Interesting! The civilization that you called those two gods in your name would be a civilization that flourished in a very, very different world from your dimension.

His assumptions were accurate. This spell was made at the level of Parvasse, and the name calling God is not the language of the Earth, but the language used at that level.

By the way, I feel like a disguise. Prosperous, huh?

Strange. How do you know the language of a civilization that has already been destroyed long enough for human time?

“Did you say doom? ”

I've never heard of such a story. Parvash's civilization is doomed? How long ago was that, too? Parvash is silent, listening to the Old Testament and not explaining anything to me.

But before I even cleared my mind, the words that completely blew away my disoriented mind were passed on from the oracle.

A wizard memorizes the spells of an already extinct civilization, and appears in his chest with seeds planted by an already extinct Savior. It reminds me of a sagittal. Human beings, you are the remnant of destruction. Everything that gives you power is dead and gone.

· · · What? What?!

“The extinct soothsayer? ”
