Chapter 426
After that, we moved straight to Heukseong.
“This… … .”
No, it would be more accurate to say that they moved to the vicinity of Black Castle.
“How do you get in there… … ?”
Above the sea near the island where Heukseong was located.
Sunchan said with a smile.
“No, is there a way to get in in the first place?”
The state of Black Castle was beyond imagination.
Mana is a mess.
Wouldn’t it be this much even if the largest mana repair shop in the United States exploded?
If I collect all the magic stones that exist in this world and collapse them all at once, I wonder if it would be exactly like this.
“… … well. Maybe I can find it.”
It’s so messed up that I can’t see the angle to get inside.
I have no idea where the gaps are and where the dangers are.
Everything is messed up and I can’t get a feel for it.
“Then is there any way to find it?”
“… … I’ll have to look for that too.”
How messed up it really is, I can’t even come up with a way to infiltrate it.
You have to find a way to find a way to infiltrate.
I wonder if this makes sense.
“… … Is that right?”
“Is that right?”
Sunchan shook his head with a bewildered expression.
I also made eye contact with Sunchan and shook my head.
“… … There are far fewer answers than I expected.”
“I know.”
I didn’t even think it would be like this.
It went beyond what could simply be called a dungeon or maze.
There is nothing strange about calling it another world or another dimension.
“Let’s just wait. Elena-sama and Mimir went looking for a way.”
Mimir and Elena. And Aslan.
These three are not here now.
Danteroa is in a state of going to find a way to each other.
“… … Can you find a way to find it? It’s such a mess.”
“It will be difficult, but… … . Because there might be a way.”
For now, it is right to wait.
Considering the degree of risk, it is right to avoid taking action on your own.
“Everyone, if you have any idea, tell me right away. I don’t know if it will work or not, but it would be nice to have it as a hypothesis for now.”
“What do you think of when you see that?”
Sunchan shook his head with an expression telling him not to say nonsense.
“I didn’t say anything to you.”
I pointed at Adela, who was idly observing the Black Castle next to Soonchan.
“aha.”
Sunchan nodded his head with an understanding expression.
It’s an expression that seems to say, ‘If you asked Adela, it’s okay.’
“Adela?”
Adela did not answer.
He is still staring at the black castle with a blank expression.
A look that seems to be thinking deeply about something.
It must have been so deep in thought that I couldn’t hear my words.
“Adela!”
I called Adela again, louder.
Adela trembled.
“yes yes?”
Suddenly, I heard a loud voice, and I was startled.
“Why so loud… … ?”
Adela said with a puzzled expression.
“I called, but there was no response.”
“ah.”
Adela replied with a pitiful expression.
“What were you thinking, can’t you hear me?”
“It’s nothing, that… … . hmm… … . just… … . I was observing the movement of mana.”
“The movement of mana?”
“yes.”
“It probably isn’t mana that you can observe just because you want to observe it.”
As I said, the mana around the planet is a mess.
To put it in an easy-to-understand analogy, it can be seen as a state in which hundreds of millions of threads, invisible to the naked eye, are woven here and there to form a skein.

And observing the movement of mana is the same as unraveling those tangled threads one by one.
That is physically impossible.
“yes. It is difficult.”
Adela looked dazed again.
“still… … . After chasing it, I feel like I’m getting a sense of something little by little. So I was watching.”
It was like that.
I was wondering if you were thinking of a way to infiltrate. It didn’t seem like that.
‘If Adela and I can’t even get a feel for it… … . It can be said that there is nothing we can do here.’
That was when I made my own conclusions.
“I… … .”
Stella, who had been silent the entire time from just before departure until now, spoke for the first time.
“How to infiltrate. I have one thing on my mind.”
“… … uh?”
It was an unexpected answer.
Stella came up with a way.
‘… … how?’
A swordsman and a wizard are different.
The only thing they have in common is that they deal with mana.
It is no exaggeration to say that everything else is different.
“I don’t know if this will really work… … . Because it could be… … . May I speak to you?”
medicine to the pharmacist.
to the black swordsman.
magic to wizards.
The vortex of mana surrounding the Black Castle is derived from magic.
Therefore, only wizards can analyze this phenomenon.
That’s why I didn’t ask Stella for her opinion.
I thought it was not a situation that Stella, the prosecutor, could solve.
But, is there a way to come to mind? What method did you come up with?
I was so immersed in thought.
“… … Was he offended? Will you be quiet?”
Stella said in a timid voice.
Seeing my serious expression, he withdrew for the time being.
“no. what’s unpleasant I was just a little surprised and blankly. say.”
“… … yes.”
Stella nodded with a strangely withdrawn expression.
“Then that… … .”
That’s what I thought before.
Stella’s mood has changed a lot. Should I say that I have noticed a lot of other people’s attention?
Stella’s backbone of confidence and self-confidence had completely disappeared.
‘This is why Captain Charles didn’t trust Stella.’
Lack of confidence.
He’s the type that Captain Charles hates.
‘I thought he had fully recovered while being trained by Sein-nim.’
It seems that it was not.
Although he has recovered, it is still difficult to see that he has fully recovered.
I’m sure there are still psychological scars left.
‘No, more than a mental wound. Should I say I don’t have the face to see other people?’
Even though Captain Charles had said something that crossed the line earlier, Stella did not show any reaction.
With a bitter expression on his face, he just lowered his head as if he had no excuses.
As Captain Charles said, she must be ashamed of herself for crying as if she had become a princess of misfortune all by herself.
So maybe that’s why it’s like that now.
‘In that state, good opinions won’t come out.’
That was when I was making up my mind.
“maybe… … . I think I can bell.”
Words came out completely unexpectedly.
“… … cut?”
“yes.”
“That one?”
“yes.”
Say it with a face that lacks confidence and a voice that crawls.
Of course, I thought there would be negative talk.
‘suddenly… … ?’
to suddenly cut
It was a word that did not match at all with his facial expression, tone of voice, and behavior.
What kind of harmony is this?
I stared blankly at Stella.
“… … I’m sorry. Can’t you believe it?”
Stella cowered again.
I was just looking at you, but the word sorry came out first.
It was a reaction that could not have been more passive than this.
A person like this said something so bold?
Even thinking about it again, it was a situation that I couldn’t understand.
“No, it’s not that I don’t believe it. If you say you can cut it, then you can cut it.”
I remembered what Sein-nim had said right before we left.
‘Stella is strong. probably more than you think. So you can trust and rely on it.’
I believe in Sein-sama’s words.
I believe in Sein who believes in Stella.
If Stella can cut, I think she can cut.
“then… … .”
“however.”
but.
“Let’s postpone that for a while. Like I said earlier, it’s only right to take action after Elena-sama returns.”
Apart from believing, you cannot act right now.
Elena-sama may have come up with a better way.
It’s okay to wait for now.
“Ah, yes. sorry. I was too hasty… … .”
Stella bowed her head again.
It’s like your self-esteem has been shattered.
How much trouble did she have to go through, how did that proud Stella end up like this?
It was unfortunate.
“Heir. We are here.”
Just in time, Mimir returned.
Following Mimir, Elena-nim and Aslan-nim also appeared one after another.
“great job. how is it. Did you find a way?”
I stopped talking and smiled wryly.
Roughly, just by looking at Mimir’s expression and mood, he seemed to understand the situation.
“I couldn’t find it.”
“… … huh.”
Even though these three put their heads together, they couldn’t find a way.
“It is difficult. There is no way it comes to mind.”
Miss Elena said with an embarrassed expression.
I couldn’t find a way, let alone find a clue.
Elena-sama’s expression said so.
“Now that it’s like this, even if I take a bit of a risk, I’ll have no choice but to act forcefully.”
Aslan-nim said with a serious expression.
You have to make some sacrifices. It looked like he was saying that.
“No, I said that it takes four people to open the sealing ark that seals Mora. Sacrifice is impossible.”
Aslan-nim laid her eyes down and clicked her tongue.
“It’s embarrassing.”
“… … .”
“… … .”
Mimir and Mistress Elena were silent at the same time.
maybe it’s good
There’s no answer.
He seemed to think so.
“… … excuse me. So you’re saying there’s no other way out?”
Stella quietly raised her hand and said.
“… … uh. doesn’t exist. The only way to do this is to go back and start planning again… … .”
“then… … !”
A tinge flowed from Stella’s eyes. It was such an expression that I could feel the atmosphere of the confident Stella from before.
“Is it okay to eat?”
Mimir tilted his head.
“hemp cloth? what?”
“Those messy mana bundles.”
“… … what?”
Mimir widened his eyes.
Elena-sama, who was quietly listening by her side, also became surprised.
“Can you ring?”
“yes. Maybe.”
“That one?”
“yes.”
Mimir’s eyes narrowed.
“By what number?”
“It’s not about doing anything, it’s just… … .”
“I’ll tell you in advance, even Sein Binoche can’t cut that.”
Mimir said with sharp eyes.
“Of course, if it’s Sein Binoche’s sword, it can be cut. But that’s all.”
Mimir pointed to the manas surrounding the planet.
“Because it will be restored only when it is cut down.”
In short, it is the same as cutting the whirlpool of the sea.
Once you try to cut it, you can cut it, but other seawater fills the cut right away.
The whirlpool will be restored as if nothing had happened.
“You mean you know that and you can cut it?”
“… … .”
Stella shut her mouth.
It was a mysterious expression that I couldn’t tell what he was thinking.
“If it’s just that you can cut… … .”
“I can bell.”
Stella closed her eyes.
As if resolving something, I close my eyes and catch my breath.
“Me and my mother, of course. perfectly.”
The next time she opened her eyes again, Stella had a completely different expression from before.
some angry expression.
“There is nothing that Binosugar’s sword cannot cut.”
He was angered by Mimir’s words, ‘Even Sein Binoche can’t be cut.’
Who are you to conclude that your mother can’t cut? what do you know
Stella’s expression said so.
“now. I will prove it here.”
Stella takes two steps. moved forward
Swoop!
The sound of drawing a sword.
The sword and scabbard rubbed against each other, and a clear sound rang out.
“mum… … !”
Mimir looked bewildered and tried to stop Stella’s actions.
“Mimir. wait.”
I stopped Mimir like that.
“see.”
“but… … .”
I know what Mimir is worried about.
After cutting that much mana, the aftermath was no joke.
They must be worried that Stella will get a backlash and get seriously hurt.
It’s the right situation for me to worry about.
“are you okay.”
But why?
I’m not worried.
Was it because Stella, who was holding the sword, had a similar atmosphere to before?
Or is it because Sein-sama looks overlapping from behind?
It is unlikely to fail.
“just. Let’s watch.”
“… … .”
Mimir kept his mouth shut with an expression that he did not know what was going on.
“… … okay.”
I don’t understand, but it’s my word, so I’ll be quiet.
It looked like he was saying that.
I turned my gaze back to Stella.
Stella took a deep breath and gently grabbed the sword.
A strange light shone on the sword that was slightly raised.
Familiar yet unfamiliar light.
It is composed of mana, which I am most familiar with, but the crystal of mana that has changed into a form that I cannot but be unfamiliar with.
“that… … !”
Miss Elena opened her eyes wide and shouted.
“Sein’s heart sword!”
Elena-sama’s words did not carry on to the end.
No, it couldn’t go on.
Stella’s sword cut Miss Elena’s words.
With Elena-sama’s words, the world was cut down.
“… … Nonsense.”
Mimir murmured with a bewildered expression.
“really… … ?”
Chee-in!
Stella put the sword she had swung back into the scabbard and turned to face me.
“Did you see it?”
He smiles brightly with a confident and dignified expression and gestures that do not show the weak side at all.
“There is nothing in this world that Binoche’s sword cannot cut.”
heart sword.
A swordsman’s secret skill that only Sein Binoche could fully use.
It was perfectly reproduced in Stella’s hand.
