215 Episode 82: 3/11 Updated 4/4 Beyond the Onimon Gate (1/2)

A huge torii painted in bright vermilion.

That was the appearance of the gate that the Dagger family had protected for 300 years.

The moment the Wisp Gate entered my sight, it would be a lie to say that I didn't feel emotion in my heart.I once wanted to overcome the ritual of trying to become a Blue Forest Flagmaster and fight to protect this gate.I didn't expect you to step in this way.

However, the emotion melted like light snow as we approached the gate.Because the magic of trembling fear was pouring out of the gate.

It crawled down to my feet like cold air, spreading twitchy skin and crawling up.It resembles, but not exclusively, the magic of the Onigami that confronted us on this island before.The magic of the Onigami was certainly intense, but I didn't feel such a perhaps familiar thrill.

This is the original power that does not go beyond the existing combs such as Mana and Odo.Heterogeneity that can be understood at the instinctive level as incompatible with me.When I noticed it, the pores in my whole body were relieved and a stiff sweat sprayed out.

I know the same thing, or something very close.What came to mind was the unknown hole in Titis's deepest depths - the dragon hole.

I see, this is how Kleia talked about the name of the Onimon at that time.

The first time I discovered a dragon hole, Craia lost consciousness after giving the name of the gate.I'm sure Claire felt the same way about me now.

The Onimon Gate and the Dragon Hole share the same power at their root.I can't say it's identical, but it's definitely homogeneous.

”... is there something wrong, sir?”

Craia, who was walking a little behind, asked modestly.Maybe he felt a little upset about me.

Ha, ha, ha. I answered in a calm tone.

”What, I just thought it was creepy that there was only a gate that contained the world's misfortunes - Ursula, would you let it pass like this?”

”Yes, I have the flag general's permission.”

As Ursula said, the flagmen guarding the gate did not stop us.However, I guess I couldn't help but catch a sharp gaze from there.After all, Craig, who committed the great sin of leaving the island, and his brother-in-law, who had been forgiven, are about to enter the Onimon gate.

What was a little surprising was that I didn't feel much insult or contempt in the gaze directed at me.Not at all, but much more interesting and observational.

Because of my mind, I think there was something favorable about it.When I sneaked up with Ursula, he said that there were many strange flagmen, but they honored the talented honestly.The fact that young Ursula is sitting in tenth place with many of her predecessors in her ass is said to be commensurate with her strength.

Perhaps the strength doctrine has taken root in a good sense, just fighting inside the Onimon Gate while enduring this creepy magic every day.

With that in mind, I stepped into the gate.

Suddenly, he was struck by a strong shock similar to his dizziness, and stopped his feet unexpectedly.

In a strong sense, it was like riding Crow Solas and climbing up into the sky.At the same time, it was similar to the feeling of jumping off Crow Solas's back at high altitude and falling to the ground.

Inconsistent discomfort and discomfort, where contradictory sensations overlap and make your body uncomfortable.Your vision is shaking with such disgust that you're about to fall on your knees.

I couldn't help but bite my back teeth and break my knees.We can't let Claire and Ursula look pathetic in front of us.As I scolded both my knees, I kept standing there.

I don't know exactly how long the feeling lasted.It feels like it was a few seconds, and it seems like it lasted longer.

When I realized it, there was a completely different scene in front of me from Onigajima.

The first thing that jumped into my eyes was the rusty sky.

As I learned later, this was not a change in the sky that shifted (depressed) depending on time, from sunset to sunset.This turbid red color is the ”clear weather” inside the gate.

There is also the sun, but just because it is blurry like sunlight, it does not cast sunlight on the ground.It's more like the moon than the sun, so it doesn't hurt my eyes at all when I look directly at it.

I will shift my gaze from the sky to the ground, thinking that it will not dry my clothes.
