The sun was shining at such a murderous pace that it seemed like a different kind of celestial body to René, who was born in the north. It reminded him a little of the heat stroke mass production equipment he had seen in the concrete jungle of his previous life.
The desert in early spring had yet to show its true power, but the heat was already intense.
The group was in the middle of the desert.
Far from human settlements and off the path of the caravans, the tracks leading to this place were obscured by the magic of the wind.
The dunes, formed by the wind, contrasted sharply with the light and shadows, and went on forever.
A number of small, crude tents that looked like canopies supported by random sticks were lined up, under which an oddly shaped army (some of them beautiful) was resting. It looked like a refugee camp.
A huge mithril golem, wrapped in cloth to prevent it from turning into a frying pan in direct sunlight, caught my attention. Next to it, a group of mummified hippogriff zombies sat in a sphinx pose.
Around the tent, a magic circle shaped like a hula hoop was carved in the sand, and magic stones were placed at almost equal intervals.
Thanks to the magic circle, the temperature in the tent was kept at around 28 degrees Celsius, which made the Ministry of the Environment happy.
The ghouls have been consuming corpse meat since we entered the desert to keep their bodies from weathering, so they're consuming a lot of food. We'll have to replenish our supplies as we exit the desert.
”Well, we've just gotten some data on undead marching through the desert.
But I think we should not march non-stop. We'll just walk at night until we get through the desert.
Rene and Everith, desert travelers in sun shrouds, were in a meeting in the center of the camp.
Instead of a chair, they were sitting in a solid coffin that could hold the mummy of a pharaoh.
”I'm sorry. It's my fault we're stuck here. ......
Beneath their asses, Miaranse's voice came from inside the solid, shaded coffin.
The desert is a place where the sun's element is strong. The sun was beating down on him, and even with his protective gear, Mihranze was reaching his limits.
Don't worry about it. I think the human team should have rested by now.
”No, no.
It's getting harder and harder to cheat with magic and potions and stay awake.
Most undead can keep moving as long as their energy supply is sufficient, and they don't feel fatigue. Most undead can keep moving as long as they have enough energy and don't feel tired.
The group had been marching tirelessly since they had escaped from Teiral'are. It might be a good time to take a break.
”Well, Princess, let's go over what we're going to do in the long run.
Right here, right now?
We've been so busy that we haven't had time to talk.
There's too much to do on the road.
Everisse dipped her hand into the Japanese thief's wrapping cloth style storage magic item. It was the one she had been carrying when she and Rene had first met.
From inside the four-dimensional furoshiki that was supposed to hold the large amount of junk and artifacts that filled her studio, Everis pulled out a teaching aid. Somehow Rene reminded him of the evil gods he had encountered in the past.
It's easier said than done, though. ......
If we're going to stop the Great God, as the princess wants, we need to destroy this world first.
In order to do that, we need to seize all the geological points in the world and launch the world-destroying magic all at once. In other words, we have to practically conquer the world.
Everis took a swing of his teacher's whip, and a world map of light appeared in the air. The screen of pale blue light had a hint of science fiction about it.
What appeared on the screen was a huge continent with a distorted shape, and several islands that seemed to be attached to it.
This is the only continent that makes up this world: ...... ”Pangaea”.
No one who has gone to see the end of the sea has ever returned, and this continent and its islands are the only world for man and demon alike.
On the map of the continent, there was a knitting pattern carved like the skin of a muskmelon.
The flow of magical power through the earth. It's called a vein.
Are you going to destroy all this ......?
”Yes. That's why it's practically impossible without world domination.
But it's not that easy.
...... You know that this world is designed to be balanced between the great gods and the evil gods, right?
I'm not sure what to make of that.
I heard it from the evil god himself.
If the human race is in trouble, the Great God will be able to provide powerful support to the human race.
On the other hand, now that the humans are so dominant, the Great God can do almost nothing, while the Evil God can do many things. ......
Yes, yes. The princess was born as a result of this.
