Book 5: Chapter 27
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
The Red Gate was wide open due to End Fang. It seemed like a large monster could easily pass through.
A lot of troops had been redirected to fight End Fang. However, more monsters have been pouring out of the Red Gate, and a fierce battle unfolded there as well.
I ran through the battlefield of soldiers fighting, and aimed for the Red Gate.
The wind blowing from the Red Gate was dense and contained a strange miasma that caused a burning sensation in my lungs. According to【World Ruler】, it was slightly poisonous.
Considering that End Fang has appeared, the destination where the Red Gate was connected to was most likely the “Undeveloped Land Canion” in the “Back World”. It is the land where the 8 giants live.
「That thing is……」
Although it was only visible as a black silhouette, it was the same size as End Fang. Its form was round and its movement sluggish.
It was the giant turtle, Lost Jewel.
『OOOOO…』
Light was emitted from its wide open mouth.
The beam of light pierced the ground on this side of the Red Gate with a deafening roar, causing large cracks to run across the earth. The beam of light continued in a straight line, splitting high-rise buildings in half one after another and disappeared. A moment later, the slashed buildings collapsed as if slipping off.
「This is ridiculous!」
The turtle’s eyes emitted a dark red light, meaning its emotions were dominated by anger, and it had gone wild. In other words, it was being controlled by the mediator just like End Fang.
We wouldn’t be able to fend that thing off if it reaches this side.
Lost Jewel approached the Red Gate step by step. Fortunately, it was slow. But it would surely reach this side in a few minutes.
I arrived under the Red Gate. The monsters that died from the fall formed a mountain of carcasess, giving off a terrible rotten odor. Additional large monsters fell from the Gate, and started scattering around and scavenging for corpses.
While hiding behind a building, I pulled out【World Ruler】from my body.
「…Uh!」
My heartbeat accelerated, and I started sweating profusely. It seems that I was overwhelmed in terms of emotions. Those emotions were suppressed with the presence of【World Ruler】, but without it, I felt like running away from the battlefield as far as possible.
「Pull yourself together! Only I can do this task!」
Instead, I will take in the 12-star skill orb,【World Alliance】.
This… This can only be done by me.
I am a reincarnated person from a different world, and possess 16 skill holders. There is none other than me who can use this skill orb in this situation.
(I am the only one who can do this, but that doesn’t mean I am alone!)
I have friends. I have allies.
Fighting back the loneliness that rushed in, I raised the skill orb—it entered my body as if it melted into me.
I could see where the current “Pledgers” were.
The information on the Covenant that formed the two worlds came into mind clearly.
「As expected, that Red Gate is an irregularity! It is a complete violation of the Covenant!!」
I could clearly see how the Red Gate connected the two worlds.
La-Fisa created the “Labyrinth of 9 Emotion” with the aim of being able to go back and forth between the two worlds freely.
There are certain routes which connect the two worlds, one of which I used to walk through to the Front World, but those are monitored by the mediators and could easily be closed at any time.
La-Fisa tried to create a route outside the mediators’ control.
The “Labyrinth of 9 Emotions” has accumulated “9 emotional” energy for many years. With “9” being a number that exceeds the fundamental “8” of “Skill Orb” which makes up the two worlds, the directed emotional energy made a hole in the Covenant that connects the two worlds.
That hole is the Red Gate.
Once that hole is anchored, the two worlds will be connected.
However, La-Fisa’s plan was not perfect, it seems.
The energy stored was not as high as expected due to the collapse of the labyrinth due to aging. As a result, the hole was not anchored, and End Fang was able to forcibly expand it. Which means, the reverse is also possible.
「I can close it!」
Red Gate was an irregularity to the Covenant. The energy flowing from the “Labyrinth of 9 Emotions” was now clearly visible to my eyes.
「But… I won’t make it in time!」
The solution was simple. I just have to go to the “Labyrinth of 9 Emotions” and stop its function. I don’t have to stop every one of the labyrinths. I just have to stop enough of them where it can’t maintain the Red Gate anymore, so three or four should be fine.
However, Lost Jewel will reach this world before I could dive into each labyrinth and stop its function.
「What do I do, What do I do!? I know how to close the Red Gate, but I don’t have enough time–」
I failed to notice something until this very second. It might have been because I removed【World Ruler】, or because I was distracted by the terrible odor and miasma.
I didn’t realize that such a huge creature was behind me.
《Child of Disaster.》
I turned around.
《We didn’t know how to close it and could do nothing but stand by and watch… The Vision Ogre has crossed the limit of its role as a mediator.》
The creature had huge wings, and its scales were covered with mana.
The one I saw in the Achenbach Dukedom was close to a gold colour, but the individual who spoke to me was red. And four others – blue, purple, purple, and green – were flying in the sky behind him.
They were the mediators of this world, the dragons.
《Tell me how to close the crack. We will help you.》
