Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Sword Master Chapter 90

Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Sword Master (90)

After returning to the deepest part of the cave within a few minutes, Leonard and the members encountered the purple crystal, the medium of the ‘crack’.

Galano frowned with inexplicable discomfort, and Ninian did the same. Esther seemed to be the only one interested, so she approached the area and tried to cast a spell, but it was immediately canceled as direct magical interference with the medium did not work.

She gave an expression that said she knew that would happen, but she couldn’t completely erase her feelings of regret.

“Hmm, I was wondering if it was possible to magically separate mediums. Well, if that were possible, someone would have brought it long ago.”

It was an object that could break down the wall that existed between dimensions and fix the gap. A strange phenomenon that cannot be reproduced with existing magic methods. If it had been possible to bring it to the workshop and study it, the magic tower lord would have rushed out barefoot.

It was a desire that was difficult for non-magicians to understand.

Ninian, who was glaring at the medium next to him, said.

“… The spirits are disgusted. That crystal is the same as materializing unnaturalness itself. “Foreign substances that should not exist in this world will become contaminated if exposed to them for too long.”

“pollution?”

“It is true that orcs have an excellent ability to adapt to the environment, but the sea oak is an exception. “If all they did was turn into a purely marine creature, wouldn’t it be okay if they created a new home in the sea without having to live inside the ‘crack’?”

When I thought about it, it was exactly as she said.

The spatial scale of 〈Sea Oak’s Lair〉 was class C, and was about the size of an island that could be explored in its entirety in a few hours. It was not large enough for thousands of Sea Orcs to live in.

Nevertheless, staying inside meant that it had become an entity that could not survive outside of the power of the ‘Crack’.

‘Has the mutation into an alien organism already been completed?’

Moreover, if the source of the mutation was a vector, humans should not remain in contact with it for a long time. The stronger a person is, the longer they can endure, but as a result, they will not be able to endure indefinitely against a medium that exerts dimensional power.

“hmm?”

It was then.

‘… … What if there are humans walking around this world who are contaminated by mediators?’

It was a possibility that passed through Leonard’s mind and could not be ignored.

‘If the path to the elixir provided by Pablo, who can be said to be the leader of the Rift Preservation Sect, exists in the he is hiding… And what if they had been in contact with Aquamarine before the incident where they were destroyed? ‘Isn’t there a possibility that even the Transcendental Mirror has been contaminated?’

It was too grandiose to even be called a conspiracy theory, and the only basis for it was speculation.

If this guess is correct, it will be an enormous disaster.

I couldn’t explain it in detail to anyone.

I couldn’t reveal my past life experiences, and using Cárdenas as an excuse also had its limitations. A relationship built on lies would eventually fall apart due to a single mistake or coincidence.

“Why but, boss? “Your complexion doesn’t look good.”

Galano looked into his face and asked a light question.

“No, looking at the medium makes me feel a bit uncomfortable. Let’s destroy it quickly and return to Aquamarine.”

“I agree. “If I continue to be exposed to those unpleasant waves, my head will spin.”

“wave?”

Leonard asked back with a puzzled look.

“Can you feel the waves? From that crystal?”

Because he wasn’t feeling anything.

Perhaps he misunderstood the meaning of the question, Galano scratched his beard with an embarrassed expression and said,

“of course. It may not be as good as the captain, but I have pretty good senses. “It stings like I touched a sea anemone, so it’s strange that I can’t feel it.”

Ninian also added a word.

“It’s a sea anemone, I feel like I’m being stung by a cactus. “As more time passes, it will become a level that cannot be ignored.”

“Is it because we have become closer to the medium? “I didn’t feel anything when I was outside the cave.”

“Maybe so. “Anyway, I think it’s better to get out quickly.”

After listening to the two people’s story, Leonard realized one more ability hidden in Cardenas’ blood.

Ability to resist contamination from otherworldly laws.

There were probably no people who came into contact with the medium of as often as the Seven Knights. However, if they had not yet encountered any problems related to contamination, there was a high possibility that they, like Leonard, were either immune to contamination or had a strong tolerance to it.

‘It’s not that bad from my point of view. You may need to be careful when accompanying the members.’

Even at a trivial level like 〈Sea Oak’s Lair〉, it seemed that only master level people could access the medium within the greater rift.

Leonard thought so and pulled out his sword.

“Now we destroy the medium. Esther, prepare for the floating spell.”

“okay.”

Saying that she wouldn’t make the same mistake as when she entered here, she put her palms together and spun the circle.

Leonard saw that and raised his sword.

and.

Kiiiiing!

The sword struck down like a thunderbolt and cut the medium of into two pieces.

It was right after that.

As if the entire space, including the inside of the cave, was collapsing, cracks appeared and split apart. Unlike when I crossed the space door, I couldn’t see anything beyond the crack.

Beyond that darkness is a second dimension outside the dimensional barrier, a place governed by completely different laws than this world.

Leonard calmly glared at the terrifying sight and tightly grasped the hilt of the sword in his hand.

‘-Someday.’

Hoping to cut down even the outside of the world, Leonard and his group were banished back to their original dimension.

* * *

It was around 4 hours and 20 minutes after the four members entered ‘The Oak Lair’.

Francis, Marian, Vivian, and Jack Russell were all waiting on deck for the group’s return. If no one escaped after 5 hours, the Jack Russell would enter, but no one was thinking about the possibility of that happening.

Vivian spoke carefully while looking at the entrance to the “crack” that was open on the sea.

“Are you coming out of that hole the same way you went in?”

Francis answered her.

“Well, right? “If you want to escape from the ‘crack’ in a way other than suturing, you have no choice but to use the doorway.”

The inside and outside of the are completely isolated, so it is impossible to escape using magic that manipulates space. If it were 〈Magic〉, it was possible to try because the boundary between this world and the outer dimension had collapsed, but in 〈Crack〉, it was impossible even if you died and woke up.

It was the same whether it was the 7th or 8th rank.

You had to be at level 9 to enter the realm of dimensional magic to be able to take some risk and get out.

“What happens if it comes out with sutures?”

“The entrance to the ‘crack’ is crushed, spitting out all the people who entered it. In the world beyond, we are perceived as intruders. “When the medium is destroyed, the connection point between the two dimensions disappears, and both are sent back to each other’s dimensions.”

If there are Sea Orcs that escape from the ‘Sea Orc Lair’, they will all be reverse-summoned.

Vivian said, “Ah,” in understanding the explanation, and stretched out her finger.

“Like that?”

“yes? I beg your pardon?”

Francis looked back in the direction she was currently pointing with his eyes wide open.

The entrance to ‘The Oak Lair’.

The haze of space a few meters away from the water was distorting into a mess. He knew this because he was Francis, who grew up seeing the phenomenon of ‘cracks’ being sealed since childhood.

Leonard and his party really sealed up the ‘Sea Oak Lair’!

“… Hehe, if I had known it would turn out like this, I would have followed suit.”

Even the Jack Russell was so excited by this rare phenomenon that he mumbled, not even noticing that his glasses had slipped down the bridge of his nose.

Sealing the means capturing and destroying both the medium and the sleeping inside it. Both were exciting research materials for wizards.

Then, with the four people watching, the ‘Sea Oak Den’ shattered like a glass window, expelling the intruders.

“It’s out!”

Vivian jumped up with a bright smile on her face,

“[Levitation]!”

This time, Esther was not late and activated the floating magic and brought the four people onto the deck of the Aquamarine.

Vivian, who ran ahead of anyone else, fell into Ninian’s arms, and Francis welcomed the others, smiling at the reunion.

“great job! “They really sutured it. This time, it greatly exceeded my expectations!”

“It was not a difficult opponent. In addition to the ‘Rift Guardian’, I have defeated one Spirit Demon Lord, so you can check later and submit it to ‘Bermuda’.”

“oh? really?”

Leonard said, pointing to the members lined up behind him.

“This is the guy that three people defeated while I was dealing with the ‘Rift Guardian’. Please treat it as their credit.”

“all right!”

In fact, Leonard had done more than half of the work, so the three of them accepted his favor even though they were embarrassed.

“Shall we go to the conference room? “You’re not too tired, are you?”

It was impossible to talk on deck forever.

Leonard accepted the suggestion and suggested that the rest of the group should be sent to the training room before resting. The experience gained during this expedition was considerable, so it was necessary to look back on it again before the feeling faded.

Ninian and the other two, who were delighted with Vivian’s cuteness, turned pale, but they did not have the power to make the decision.

“If it’s an investigative report, one leader would be enough. “I do that.”

“… “I’m going to train, Captain.”

“… Vivian, let’s go together.”

“… Hey, are you there? Master? Aren’t you curious about the eyewitness accounts of the medium and the “Rift Guardian”? “I can tell you this in a very realistic way!”

Finally, Esther clung to her teacher and tried to find a way out.

“I promise later. “I have high expectations, my student.”

The Jack Russell wasn’t the type of person to leave that alone.

Esther, who became sullen at his cold rejection, followed the three people away to the training room.

Then, the people, led by Francis, moved to the conference room and sat down in the same positions they had left a few hours ago.

Francis and Marian, Jack Russell.

Leonard began to tell the story he had organized in his head as he received the expectant gaze of the three people. From entering the and landing on the surface, to breaking through the defense line and killing the garrison leader, Seaok, it started from there.

“… … .”

“… … .”

“… … .”

At first, they just made funny faces and clapped their hands in excitement at the story.

As his story progressed, the two people’s faces became more serious.

Only Marian was excited about the three people’s collaboration method and combination of combat techniques, while Francis and Jack Russell were focusing on other aspects.

It had to be that way.

“… “I apologize if you say it’s my guess.”

When Leonard’s investigative report was almost over, the Jack Russell raised his hand and faced him.

That unwavering gaze was the proof.

I didn’t try to hide it.

It was as if they were telling me to notice.

“Although ‘Sea Oak’s Lair’ is small, it is impossible for four people to search the entire island. “Inside the Rift, means such as search magic are fundamentally blocked, and the presence of a medium cannot be felt even by a transcendental warrior unless he is fairly close.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“But you found a medium in three hours. “When I looked back at the traces left on the map, I reached that location in the shortest possible distance without getting lost even once.”

There was a truth that anyone with their head properly placed on their neck could be convinced of based on the information just listed.

The chief elder of the Atlantis Magic Tower asked a question to Leonard, who was still calm and weak, in a slightly trembling voice.

“Can you find the medium for the ‘crack’?”

Leonard, who had initiated this situation from the beginning, answered calmly.

“yes.”
