The Traveling Hero Won’t Let the Innkeeper’s Son Escape

"What do you mean?"

"Water is gathering in the middle."

"Is the floor gently diagonal?"

In human senses, there may be a slight angle on the floor that is difficult to grasp.

"But why?"

"I don't know... but where the water is accumulating, it's right above Alec's light."

Eh!?

When Ruth puts the lamp on the floor, he flies and touches it with a good look at the floor.Then I noticed a slight unevenness on the floor.

To the extent that it can only be understood by the sensation of the fingertips, I learned that something is drawn.

"I can't see it with my eyes... but there's something on the floor."

"What do you mean?"

Everybody gather the lamps.

Everyone decided to take a closer look at the room.Because it is a dark room, the entire area is invisible to the eyes, so it is almost traceable by hand.

Silas floating in the air senses the ceiling at the tip of the knife, two lightweight people, such as Kia and Yuan, look along the wall and the other members see the floor.Then I found out that the whole room was depicted in a shape I had never seen before.

"Pentagon in the middle of the ceiling?"

Yes, and the line runs straight down the wall from the stars to the floor.

"And pentagonal stars on the floor.In the middle is a special pattern that I have never seen before.The shape of the room also seems to follow this line. "

"It looks like the Magic Cube, but it's a little different, right?The Magic Cube is basically a circle. "

"Yes, I've never seen anything like it.What is it? "

It turns out that the shapes depicted in the room were intentionally written by someone, but they are not commonly used by the Magic Cube.

"Oh, but this is somewhere...."

"... no, this is the Magic Cube."

Cyrus, who had been silent for a long time, assured me that we were making a lot of guesses.

"Yeah, but I've never seen anything like it."

"I guess. This is quite an old technique, in other words, it was during the war more than a thousand years ago.Maybe more people don't know this time of year. "

Cyrus says it's an advanced and dangerous Magic Cube used for war.It is not something that can be used by one person to consume a lot of magic, but it is something that can be used for the first time by multiple people at the same time.The effect of this was enormous.

However, the magic consumption was too intense, and the dead came out.In the late war there were too many casualties and no more countries to use, and it quickly became obsolete.It's like forbidden magic. "

"Well, here it is."

I guess that's what this is all about.

Geo told me there were many casualties during the sealing of Zagres.In other words, it is highly likely that this is the ancient Magic Cube used in the seal at that time.

(Really, that dream...!)

Alec, get up here! Don't stay there!]

A dream before Ruth woke up in the shape of a doll.Alec was dragged under the floor in a black room.There was a pentagon on the ceiling in that room.

Suppose that sight was not just a dream, but a special ability, as only Ruth felt Alec's light - it was a hint, and this magic circle might have sealed Alec.

"I just want you to listen....."

Ruth told everyone about the dream.

Normally, I can't believe the story of someone else's dream, but everyone knows that Ruth has a strange power over Alec, so he decides it's not just a dream.

I see... it's likely that this seals Alec.

"Wait, so Zagres's seal wasn't unbroken in the first place?"

No, I don't think so. If I hadn't solved it, I wouldn't have been able to create such a stupid magic cube in the sky. "

"Yet there is a magic club here, and Alec is underneath it..."

"... Zagres, who was freed from the seal, is sealing it here to keep Alec from escaping."

Silas' words clouded everyone's expression.But there was no objection. Because it can only be considered as such in the circumstances.

We seal Alec, the source of power, but I'm not sure why we're using that power, but Zagres has a huge amount of power around him, so I'm sure he's doing well.Now is not the time to think about that area.

"Does that mean you can't come to Lord Alec's side unless you solve this magic team?Of course I can't hear you. "

"What a mess....."

"I don't know what to do with a magical team like this... we can't even solve Zagres on our own, can we?"

The members here are gathered because they have little magic.It's impossible to launch a magic cube that consumes so much magic.

Even if there is not enough magic, it is too dangerous to solve the magic cube that the dead came out during the seal.

"No, no... with this technique, with my body (Oliharkon),"

Cyrus murmured as he traced the magic cube behind the knife.

Let's do it... he's refining the ancient Magic Cube to use Alec's magic.But I can do this. "

Apparently, this Magic Cube is different from what we saw a thousand years ago, and it seems to have consumed much less magic than what Cyrus knows.

The reason Zagres did it was to make a hole in Alec's power.

"... but you really need magic."

"Shouldn't we be the only ones here who need magic... calling for backup?"

"What are you talking about? There's a lot of magic around us."

"Ah, I see."

Ruth looked around.The interior of the ark is full of magic that distorts space.Ruth and the others are not affected by the protective talismans given to Tomash, but they are inherently full of power that causes headaches.And as Kia said earlier, the magic is accumulating here, and it should be more concentrated.

We can't solve the seal by ourselves like Alec and Zagres.However, by collecting the magic around you and using each body as a relay point for magic, you should be able to cast magic on the Magic Cube.Well, I may feel a bit tired from the feeling of magic flowing, but I'm sure I won't consume my magic personally... "

The magic around you is hundreds of times as much as Ruth and the others combined - you will feel tired of the feeling because the magic that you don't have runs through your body, but the magic will be depleted and you won't die.

Of course, it's all my opinion.There is no absolute guarantee.Ruth, what are you going to do?

……

Ruth got a little lost.I'm sure Cyrus would be right, but the fact that there were dead people before slows down the decision.

"I said I wouldn't give you absolute assurances, but I'm sure I won't fail first. Rest assured."

"Let's do it, Ruth. Cyrus says," It's okay. "

"Ruth, let's do it."

"If you think it's dangerous, we can all stop.We have to do it anyway. "

I don't have time to think about it.

"Leave it to me, I will control the magic around me."

Everyone wasn't lost like Ruth.Rather, it's faster than Ruth.

Yeah, I can't get lost.

Alec is already in front of us.As it stands, we don't know what happens to us, to the people who play tricks, to the world itself.Above all, it makes no sense to be here to save Alec.

"Okay, let's do it.Cyrus, please give me directions. "

"Oh, Kia, Maxim, Yuan, Karen, you each stand in the corner of the room with a weapon made of Orihalcon."

Copy that.

The four of them stood in the corner of the room with their weapons in their hands, following the direction of the diagram written on the Magic Cube.It is arranged in such a way as to connect the shape of the ceiling with the shape of the floor.

Ed, you sit in the middle of the Magic Cube.Prepare for magic aspiration. "

"Okay."

Ed crouched in the middle following Cyrus and began casting spells.The pattern of the forehead rises and a strange light begins to dance around.

Okay, you're ready.

Cyrus said so and stuck it to the ceiling.Not only that, but also slightly deform a portion of the Orihalcon and stick it to the wall.I am willing to relay it with my own body, just like the other four.

I will also serve as a buffer and relay with the Magic Cube.The other four are relays.Enjoy the magic in your body.Don't let go of the weapon. If we don't have him, we'll fall down.Ed, you can use the five of us to suck the magic in the shape of the groove drawn from the ceiling toward the floor, and you can flush it into the shape of your feet. "

"Yes"

A part of Sirus that buffers the ceiling, four relays and Sirus between the pentagon stars on the ceiling and floor, and Ed that magically inflicts Magic Cube on the floor.Everything except Loose was arranged, and the whole room began to get a little light and heat.

Cyrus, where am I!?

Ed's magic cube will open, and Alec will be able to see it from there.Speak up. I don't know if you're conscious, so if you don't move, drag me out of there! "

Got it!

Ruth crouched at Ed's feet.I don't know how the Magic Cube team opens, but it's like the floor opens because Alec is down there.

"Ed, can you get started!?"

"It's okay!"

All right, let's go. Keep your eyes open and keep your spirits together!

"I'll do it!"

At the same time that Ed said so, the silas that were stuck to the ceiling glowed.

The light flows out into the ditch and begins to emit white light.A pentagonal star painted on the ceiling of the dark room rises white and passes through the walls of the room step by step before proceeding to the friends.

Kh!

"Wow."

The companions who touched the light raised a small scream.The feeling of magic flowing through my body is close to the current flowing, but I am experiencing such a shock.

Eventually, white light flows from the feet of the companions to the floor and reaches Ed.The light gathered in the center illuminated Ed's hand and began to draw a mysterious crest, emitting white light on the grooveless floor.

"Wow."

As soon as it started to shake the ground.Instead of earthquakes and building collapses, something like a sea wave emerges from Ed's palm and spreads across the room like an impact group.The pattern that emerges from the Magic Cube spreads proportionally to the ripples in the waves coming out of Ed's hand, eventually covering the floor, walls, and ceiling.It was the momentum to paint the black walls pure white.

The whole room shines. Because of this, I realize that there was a space that existed beyond the black wall.

We're almost there, make yourself comfortable!

When Cyrus screamed, a loud crack appeared eventually.

The ground that was white-waved suddenly cracked, and a black space was visible at Ed's hand.It felt like a black world had emerged in a different hierarchy by splitting the white sea.It does not appear to interfere with each other, and black and white do not mix.

"Wow, what is this, black water!?"

But the black space was overflowing with semi-transparent black water.The viscous black liquid begins to erode the white room.Keep burying Ruth and Ed at their feet, and gradually increase their amount.

"Alec!"

Ruth saw Alec's blonde hair shine before the crack on the floor.I can see hair from the gap even though it should be inhibited by white waves and black liquid.It's not his golden aura, it's soft gold like a meadow shining at sunset.
