Chapter 32-"Shayo" and "Golden"

(TL:By Rafael)

Two days after returning from "Glad Shi-Im".

Rain, myself, and Moriah, the wise man of "Skordia," gathered the clients, including the Marquis of Bedivere, in the guild meeting room.

I think it's not right to summon the clients, who are also high ranking nobles by nature, but the contents of this case are too heavy.

"In other words, that labyrinth is a city in another world, and they dared to move into our world by using special magic?"(Marquis)

"That's what I'm talking about. It seems that the magic that originally transported one person to another world was modified to move an entire city."(Yuki)

The Marquis de Bedivere twists his head at my explanation.

"But you told us that the inhabitants have vanished, and strange demons seem to roam the streets."(Marquis)

"......These demons are the inhabitants of Glad Shi-Im, my lord."(Yuki)

A journal found in an underground canal, a diary obtained from a residence.

And a daily record book that I read in a large library.

From these, I began to understand how things were in the world.

The "Shayo," in which all of the gods that supported the world of Kahana fought against each other.

King Vordan, who was the king and one of the gods, tried to save his country, "Glad Shi-Im," from the destruction caused by the war.

He gave up on the crumbling world and set his sights on a new heaven and a new earth.

King Vordan may have already been insane when he made this decision.

After all, it was impossible for him to do such a thing.

......No, if we are talking about "possible" and "impossible," perhaps it can be done.

For example, if our world were to become like that, it would be possible for some people to escape from this world. Adventurers like us are at the top of that list.

We will break through the "Colorless Darkness" and cross the "Abyss Gate," the innermost door of the Abyss.

If I am right, we will be able to cross the world.

But it is a risky proposition.

Even if all adventurers set their sights on the Abyssal Gate, only 10 percent of them would be able to reach the deepest level, or even less.

It would be impossible for the average person.

Therefore, the king had no choice but to take crazy measures.

To make the impossible a distorted possibility.

"He sacrificed his humanity."(Yuki)

"What do you mean?"(Marquis)

"The magic I was exposed to in the Great Library of Vordan Castle was quite extensive, specific, and insane."(Yuki)

It's a way I'm afraid to speak out.

I don't feel like I can explain this horrific magic in an inadequate way.

"Yuki, it's okay. I'll cover for you."(Rain)

Rain, sitting next to me, nods at me.

Moriah, sitting on another couch, nodded to me.

I was the one who directly touched the magic. I should be the one to explain.

"It is assumed to be a large-scale substitution magic using the 'gold' as a medium."(Yuki)

"Gold? Substitution magic? Both of these magics are unfamiliar to me. How about you, Mr. Boardman?"(Marquis)

'I don't understand either. Well, let's hear his explanation. First, can you tell me about the gold?"(Viscount)

Nodding to Viscount Boardman, I take out the ring from my bag.

Yes, the golden ring that the monster monsters of Glad Shi-Im have.

:This is a part of the "gold" ......, or rather, something that is also gold itself, although it is difficult to explain."(Yuki)

"What do you mean by "itself"? I'm told there are a fair number of them as drops picked up from demons?"(Viscount)

"Yes. They are individual, yet all the same and one. Rain, take that one."(Yuki)

"Yeah."(Rain)

Rain pulls a thin vise-like magical tool artifact with a square crystal plate out of his magic bag.

"This is something you used to make at the Royal Academy, isn't it?"(Marquis)

"Uh, yes. Here, take a look."(Rain)

Rain with a ring on the magic tool artifact and a small stream of magic.

On the crystal plate, an image is projected with noise.

"The sky is still red today. ...... What's going to happen to us?"(??)

The view from the first-person perspective moves around.

The crystal plate showed the main street of "Glad Shi-Im," where people were passing by.

:This is the ring found in the body of the chrysalis-like monster that attacked us."(Yuki)

"Are you saying that the ring is a visual medium like a magic stone?"(Viscount)

At first I thought so too, but it was of a much worse nature.

'No, sir. What is recorded on this ring is information about ...... the human being itself."(Yuki)

"No way. ......"(Marquis)

It was a crazy idea.

I am sure that King Vordan had already been affected by the "shady" situation.

If he could not cross the dimension as a human being, he should not be a human being.

The "One Gold," a huge, willful magic stone.

The king gave the people the "gold ring" created from it.

Yes, the king supplemented the people's humanity with the ring in order to save "Glad Shi-Im". But it was not perfect.

The "one gold" that served as the medium for the "wish-fulfilling magic" was also distorted by the "sunset" and must have been as mad as the royal city.

The magic was still activated in its unfinished state,......, and the "Glad Shi-Im" crossed the dimension with the unprecedented elimination of the "Dusk" still in place.

Fortunately for us, the magic that was invoked was incomplete, so "Glad Si-Im" manifested itself as a labyrinth dungeon.

Thanks to this, we had the advantage of time against this "culling".

When I looked at the Marquis de Bedibois after explaining all this, he was thinking with a difficult expression on his face.

'I understand what you're saying, but what happens if we end up leaving the ...... thing as it is? Hero."(Marquis)

"From here on out, I'm going to speculate rather than state facts, but the whole area will probably be swallowed up by the labyrinth. The light of the Shadow of the Sun will distort the spiritual forces, and in the place that has become the Kingdom of Vordan, the Golden Curse will consume the existence of all living creatures."(Yuki)

"I mean, what is it? Are you saying that if left unchecked, everything in this world will turn into a world crawling with those unidentifiable creatures?"(Viscount)

To which I nod.

This is the conclusion I reached with Moriah, Rain, and Silk.

"Let's call for A-rank adventurers from all over."(Marquis)

"I think it would be wise to do so. This is no longer the time to be choosy. At the very least, the overflow of the 'setting sun' has begun."(Yuki)

'Mm ...... I don't think a reprieve will do that. I'm going to ask "Clover" to continue the attack. Yuki Ferdio, you have been granted the duties and rights of a "hero". Serve the Kingdom."(Marquis)

I answered only "yes" to the marquis's words and took my seat.

Rain and Moriah followed suit.

"You have a trump card in your eye, don't you?"(Manuela)

Manuela, who had been quietly watching what was going on, glances at me with a sharp gaze.

Sharp as ever.

"I'll do what I can."(Yuki)

I returned it lightly and left the guild meeting room.

TL Note- It feels nice when one you have followed all the while becomes someone important as a hero, though it will bring large Responsibility and possibility of death. What is the trump card? Any will guesses from the readers?
