After messing around with each other, we came to an area that was insanely deserted, and a house was standing in the middle of it. Well, seeing it, even an infant could tell it was a trap, but this Ashoka was not looking in the mood of playing around, so he started to quickly summon a few of his soldiers and started to search the area.
While they were checking it, Ashoka and I felt that the old man who was asking for help was missing; even I wasn’t able to detect his presence or anyone else’s, but Otaku spoke in somewhat tense expressions: “Master, that guy crossed the space rift and is making a run. Well, judging by his speed, he isn’t an average old man, so please keep your guard.”
Hearing his words, I felt that this manifestation of misfortune, Ashoka, was right, so I spoke, “Ok, but can you catch him or track him?” Hearing my question, he sighed and spoke, “No, master, as crossing the space rift means that he has entered another space, so it will be more like searching for a needle in the entire galaxy, so it won’t help us, even if I try to!”
Hearing his words, I nodded, and his words seemed sensible, and judging his nature, he wouldn’t make a random excuse, but still I was feeling that in my presence, he also learned to make excuses to avoid work.
Still, if a person that skilled came to our space and even dragged us into this mess, that means that the guy was some kind of powerhouse, and if he dragged us to this house, then we have two options: either to run away from it or to check it.
So now ashoka’s minions started to explore the house, and after sometime, the sounds of clashes started to rose from the house, and ashoka’s expression started to change, and he started to call more skilled fighters, but the results shook even us, like those minions also lost in less than few moments.
But instead of looking angry or frustrated, the expression on the face of his changed, and this motherfucker started to have that evil grin on his face while casting some strange incantations, and the powerhouses from his training ground started to appear, with the dazzling aura radiating from them.
So in a mere blink they went in and started to clash inside; after a few moments, the house dissolved, and it was revealed that a single swordsman was fighting the minions, and mostly bandits were either slaughtered or fled from that area.
Well, seeing the same scene that person described made me feel strange, as it was feeling really strange, but seeing them clash was looking pretty interesting, as that man was a real skilled swordsman, as he was holding these many Ashoka’s minions alone, and his movements of wrist and legs were way too astonishing.
So feeling the excitement, I gestured towards Ashoka to let me fight him. Hearing it and seeing my gesture, he sighed and dissolved his minions. Seeing the minions disappear, he looked at our side and began to take out a smoking pipe and spoke, “You people, I will give everyone a moment of time to explain why you disturbed my sleep, and if you fail to explain, then my sword will start talking!”
Seeing this type of attitude in front of us was interesting; we all couldn’t help but giggle while looking at each other, because this person could be said to be either stupid or courageous, but in both cases, he didn’t have a chance of survival if he fought with us, as Ashoka was the greatest necromancer in our continent (as he claimed).
Niona was the witch of calamity, and Otaku was literally the god of void, and finally me, well, an average person like me—what can I even do to him? Heh-heh!
But I was more interested in knowing his story, as that old man was crafty and powerful, so there’s no way he could have called us for a mere group of bandits or this above-average swordsman.
So I spoke in a calm manner, “Sir, first we don’t know you, and you don’t know us, as there was a strange old man that came to us for help to drag you all out from his house, and he stated that you guys forcefully entered his house and kicked him out, so we were here to inquire about it, but the moment we came here, that bastard went beyond the space rift, so I want to ask you to stop trying to fight us and think rationally.”
Hearing my words broke his composure, but instead of listening, he started to charge at me. Well, now, I could just sigh and gesture towards Otaku to capture him. As in, with a mere flicker of hands, Otaku captured him without leaving any trace outside of his existence.
Well, now everyone was looking at me in disbelief that I could even talk rationally with any person, but what kind of freak do these bastards even take me for? There’s no way I am going around the world to fuck their rules.
So, after settling matters with him, we started to look in this place carefully, and now we were very sure that there should be at least something that person was hiding, because there’s no way that for a house this rusty someone would cross the space rift.
So we started to explore, and I saw that there were strange symbols under their houses; it made us wonder, because even Niona didn’t even know about the letters, so it made me wonder if Otaku knew anything about them, so I called him to our side and showed him the symbol.
Seeing the symbols, his expression darkened, and he spoke with deep expressions, “Master, this is the language of us deities, and it is pretty high class, and this language couldn’t even be learned by low-level deities, and here the words that are used are for a ritual of converting the energy from this land to somewhere.
So this ritual works more like a converter, but converting the energy of mortal realms is clearly forbidden because mortals already have a negligible amount of energy in their realm, and if we deities use that also, then your realms will perish due to misbalance in power.”
Well, hearing his words, I felt that I reincarnated in the wrong realm; like, seriously, I didn’t even get a chance to bang any hot woman, and here these futher fuckers are trying to blow away these people: “Master, I think a major deity is included in this mess, as it will become a hassle if anyone in the divine or demon realm gets news that the mortal world is being used like this, and it can even wage wars to conquer your realms, so it is better to remove all the traces of it and investigate it sneakily.”
