611 609 The Road to Tragedy (1/2)

Fran and Ursi rush out again, following the pseudo-fanatical sword that slipped past us.

Fran also seems to be quite upset, releasing range magic and so on. It was like a storm, the lake was rolling backwards. This, if there was a ship around, would be letting it overturn.

I already ran quite a distance. It should be pretty deep into a lake the size of a small country.

Where exactly is the pseudo-fanatical sword headed?

It was just after I was wondering.

”Fran! Stop!

Fran responds instantly to my voice, suddenly braking. But he couldn't stop pitifully on the spot, and Fran's heel rubbed the lake.

Severe water splashes rise, like fountains.

Even though he became a wet mouse that way, Fran had managed to stop.

”Fran, let's go a little further if we can”

”Mmm.”

”On!”

”Is Ursi back?”

I guess Fran and Ursi have already noticed. Honestly follow my word, about 30 meters down from the place.

”After all, this is where it is”

Various sensory skills have taught me not to go further. I don't see anything on the water. But there were signs of what seemed like countless warcraft underwater.

”Vivian Guardian”

”Definitely.”

I guess this is the realm of guardians, where Vivian Guardian will attack you if you try to break in.

I don't feel any signs of aggression. Sure, if it was to the extent of an accidental intrusion, it would have to be to the extent of being blocked from going. I guess we're still at that stage, too.

”But what about that sword? Why are you okay?”

'Hmmm...... Is it because it's inorganic or because there's no sign... Let's try it.'

”Daijibu?

”Well, if it looks bad, I'll be running away as soon as I can.”

”Mm-hmm. Careful.”

”Off”

”Ooh.”

I slowly made my way to an area where there were signs of Vivian Guardian as the Frans dropped me off.

Normally, you're going to miss about a single sword that's inorganic...

But soon I realize that this operation will fail.

Anyway, the sight of the Vivian Guardians around me is pouring all over me.

It is definitely noticed.

Still, it broke into the realm of the guardian with a glimmer of hope.

Immediately afterwards, a white warcraft of a form resembling a squid stands in front of me. It wasn't just one. Five guardians were holding me back, using me as a wall.

”Hmm, can't I?”

In the meantime, I'll try to block the magic and so on as much as possible. Now I can barely feel the magic, only a chunk of metal.

But still, it didn't work. Vivian Guardian came around before me on a big detour.

”These guys aren't so highly perceived...”

Then this is it.

I activated Dimension Shift and tried again. Though visible to the eye, it is inorganic and has no sign. Now I'm supposed to be close to a pseudo-fanatical sword in transmission...

”I can!”

Again, Vivian Guardian didn't move. They can't even react to someone in different spaces.

If we keep poking around like this...
