The Fire Dragon told me something that bothered me, but for now I forgot and entered the control room of the "Scared Labyrinth" and stopped supplying the Red Gate with energy.

The research team in front of the control room must have tried to stop the labyrinth just like I did, but the actual method of stopping it was quite complicated and I had to use the power of [Morisara Magnificent].

Leaving them alone in a bewilderment, when I went back out, black smoke was rising from another labyrinth. Another dragon must be attacking from the outside. Returning the talent ball of the Boundary Labyrinth , the energy gradually subsided and the supply to the Red Gate was seen to stop completely.

"Phew...."

Now I'm relieved. I've left it up to you to fight the mediators, but worst of all, the dragons will take over the mediators.

That's it.

Now...

……

I cut my neck. [M] The power supply to the Red Gate has stopped, but the Red Gate is not closing.

Dragons who have finished destroying the Labyrinth gather at Red Gate. They also looked up at the Red Gate strangely, but the sealed turtle bones in the other world exhaled light and kept attacking, so they scattered once.

Then circle around and spin--.

"What are you doing...?

A huge magical formation appeared in the center of the circle. It is something I have never seen before, and as it gradually rises, it covers the Red Gate.

"Ugh!?"

I knelt on the spot with a high pitched sound in my ear, a fierce headache and nausea. Later I heard that many soldiers fell unconscious at this moment.

When the magicians interfered with the Red Gate, they created a new gap in space - a phenomenon unusual enough to call it a "gap in space" - perfectly overlapping the Red Gate.

The sealed turtle bone exhaled light again, but it didn't pop up here, it just shook the atmosphere beyond the Red Gate.

You must have used quite a bit of force. The two crows were about to fall out of balance, but they managed to hold on and fly around. I'm leaving this place.

The other dragons followed, and only the last remaining flaming dragon flew towards us.

... you've been hit.

The firedragon looked down at me and uttered a mysterious word. [M]

"What do you mean...!? Surely the energy has been turned off and the Red Gate will just be closed!?"

Can't you see?

Huh?

Your eyes will be able to see the covenant, right? That's a gift. "

"What the hell are you--"

Indeed, the Demarcation Pact confirms who the current pactors are. That's when I realized...

The underground race of the "backworld" has been replaced by the Covenants.

It is not strange that I am replacing it. Because if she came to the "front world", which was now called the "staff officer" - and was taken by Mr. Knock with Asha over time - it would be no wonder she arrived in the Murray Border Territory - the "back world" covenant would take her place.

In other words, those who remained in the collapsed underground city became the next covenant.

It was an old man. But the condition is strange.

It was captured by the [Demarcation Treaty] that he sat idle with his vague eyes.

... this labyrinth has succeeded in transforming human emotions into energy to connect the world. It's interesting to focus on people's emotions. Certainly, people's emotions sometimes have a strong sparkling power.

Hello... the Underground Race Covenant.

Turn around. If only we could gather people together, we could extract the energy.

"The mediator caught them?"

It was the worst guess.

Just as there are cracks here, there are cracks in the "back world" as well. And if we inject energy into that crack, we can maintain it from the other side.

Suppose the mediator captures the underground race, uses the battery, and sucks up all the energy.

Probably.

I felt a burning anger at the faint answer of the dragon. [M]

"Why!? A mediator should not interfere with the world!?"

Yes, but I can interfere with the covenant.

"What is that?! Wouldn't it be the same if you interfered with the world as a result!! In general, it doesn't make sense to dedicate 'noble blood'! It's nothing but interference in the world!

————

At that time, the eyes of the Fire Dragon were opened as if they were glaring.

"... what's wrong?"

No... there was a way...

"What about it?"

Son of Disaster. We value your species more than you think, and your species has power. "

Bak, bah, bah, move your wings and the body of the flame dragon will lift up.

"Wait a minute!! I'm not done talking yet ---"

Don't worry. That crack was temporarily sealed by our forces. If you leave me alone, I won't break it for hundreds of years.

"Hundreds of years? Then we'd better kill the Underworld first!

I'm not an idiot compared to a fantasy demon. They will offer sacrifices while protecting the Underworld. And we should wait for the next (...) while maintaining the crack.

"Next!? Does' sacrifice of life 'mean' your species--- '"

It's a long way away.

It's just something to keep in mind. "

My voice would not reach, but the voice of the dragon was clear. [M]

The effects of remaining cracks will appear from now on. If this is about the survival of the world, I will lend my wisdom -- we will rest for a while. "

So the dragon flew away.

"... what is it?"

When I talked to the dragon, I figured out what I didn't know, and I thought it would be refreshing —— it's like there's more I don't know.

"What the hell...?!

The evil air is disappearing, and the air is gradually returning to its clean state. And above all, the monsters are no longer falling.

However, only red and frozen cracks remained in the sky.
