Chapter 149 – 33. East Again. (6)
… In addition… !
When I opened my eyes, I saw an infinite space and a huge door standing tall there.
When Elena was in deep meditation, she would often wake up in this space.
She felt an inexplicable chill as she stood in front of this questionable door that was impossible to interpret. Perhaps it is the awe of the unknown realm beyond the scope of understanding.
The door of the origin.
She hadn’t touched the door since she’d pryed it open once before. …… All she could see through her slit was an abyss as dark as space.
But inside her door, she felt something in her keep calling her. Come on, open it up and come inside.
…… You can’t just avoid it. It is a door that must be opened someday. Maybe that’s my destiny…… !
After taking a few deep breaths, the sucker master finally made a big decision and stood in front of the door.
A door of overwhelming size.
According to common sense, the udders were not big enough for a female sorceress to open them by force. However, this huge door in front of her eyes was something far from common sense. In the first place, it was mana, not power, that opened the door to this source.
Woo woo.
After rubbing her hands against each other in front of the door several times, she placed her hands on each door. Then, with her teeth clenched, she raised her mana in anger.
ㅡㅡ!!
The door, which did not budge at first, slowly… , Very slowly, began to open.
And then you start to see through the gap, then that distant abyss—-.
…… Ah…… !
She almost stepped back for a second at the fear of the unknown, but this time she held on tightly to her spirit.
Do. This time, for sure!
To overcome her fear, she remembered her beloved Lord Dan.
Mr. Allen, I will do it. Certainly… !
Elena envisioned a happy future with Allen for the rest of her life, and she moved on. Even in pitch-black darkness… , The light of love was bright.
Just like that, Mister Sutong opened all the doors to the source.
…… Something was blowing right there. No, not the physical wind, but the wind of mana—-.
Elena, who had been lingering in front of him for a long time, swallowed her saliva, clenched her fists, and took a step in front of her……… , The moment I stepped on it, I fell into pitch-black darkness.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The giddy sensation of her falling made her unable to scream. The red land slowly began to be seen in the gaze of the patong master who was falling endlessly into the abyss. At the same time, the heat that came crashing down on her body. …… The land, boiling with heat, stretched out in all directions without end.
Strangely, the fear of falling slowly disappeared. Her body felt as light as a feather, and she landed lightly on the floor.
At first glance, this place was not a real land. Beyond the gate of origin, the space of mana—-.
“… That’s not Elizabeth….”
Oh… !
Elena looked behind her, startled by the sudden sound.
A middle-aged man standing with his hands behind his back. … She never expected to meet people in a place like this. …… No, is it really a person?
Just in case, she was ready for battle right away. Then, a loud laugh was heard from the side. This time it’s an old man with gray hair.
“Look. Did I say He’s too arrogant to do it. It will take ten more years to open the door.”
Next came a middle-aged lady. He must have been born noble, and his every action was noble.
“I thought there would be a child who came before Elizabeth…. I guess he’s very clever too?”
Elena was confused in her mind. She couldn’t figure out what the hell was going on. … She crossed the Gate of the Source, and never thought there would be people there.
As she panicked, her middle-aged man stepped out.
“First calm down…. Don’t worry. Because we are all open-doors like you. A kind of senior.”
The old man, who was scratching her temple with the tip of her cane, which was as tall as her, asked, impatiently.
“What is your name?”
Elena dragged on her words and rolled her eyeballs, then cautiously announced her own name.
“Elena… , Said Horgan Herrera… , Do.”
“…… Elena? It’s a name I’ve never heard of before. Where do you belong?”
“I am from the Herrera family. … Ah, now he belongs to the Allen Mercenary Corps.”
Allen-mercenaries?
The middle-aged man who heard that name said ah, and she gave a short exclamation.
“I think the person who came to the capital the other day as Viola’s companion was Allen Danzoo…. Is not it?”
“You’re right.”
“…… The rumors don’t seem exaggerated. Seeing that she has talent like you.”
And then he gently held out her hand.
“Nice to meet you. Granzo – Danju Granzo of the mercenary corps.”
ㅡㅡㅡ!!!
The moment Elena heard her name, she couldn’t help but be astonished.
A strong 10 master and a master of fire magic, the immortal Grenzo—.
If Magnus, the Sword Emperor, was the idol of swordsmen, Grenzo, the immortal demon, was the idol of wizards. Of course, Elena couldn’t have known.
“Hey, it’s an honor, Danju… !”
The two shared a deep handshake. The old wizard introduced himself next.
“It’s a scone. Just call me old man.”
The last is a noble middle-aged lady.
“Shetlan. Nice to meet you, comrade.”
After Elena shook hands with both of her men and women, she asked, pointing around.
“By the way… , Where is this place? She crossed the door, but suddenly fell here….”
“Here…… , Ah, for a moment.”
Just when the fire ghost Grenzo was about to explain something, the ground suddenly started to shake as if an earthquake had occurred. And a gigantic hand bursting through the seething land.
There was a tremendous evil energy pouring out of it. To the point where I wondered if the devil had appeared.
However, the three men and women were very calm. Just like people who have been through this situation all the time.
“Today is…… , Is it my chalian?”
The fire-ghost Glen Joe took a step forward, lightly shaking his hands and bending his neck left and right. Then, with his arms spread out to the sides, he began to pump up an enormous amount of mana.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!!!!
Granzo’s mana swallowed up the evil energy that filled the surroundings at once. Elena couldn’t help but be awed by the amazing sight.
All of her wizards she had seen so far were at the level of a child, and it was safe to say that the difference was enough.
… That’s it, a real wizard!
Just then, his hand that rose above the ground touched the floor, and his head and chest rose up. It was a hideous looking monster. It’s hard to tell whether it’s a monster or a demon.
A large, red eyeball stuck in the middle of his head stared at Granzo with his arms outstretched, then pretended to slam him down with his hand on the floor.
And at the same time, Grenzo, who had stretched out both of his hands, brought them to his chest.
Her fog-like mana gathered towards the monster and grew red hot, soon becoming her blazing flame. It swallowed the monster’s chest, head, and arm as it was, burning it completely without leaving any ash.
The monster that tried to climb through the ground died and fell back down, and the ground that had been opened closed again as if it were alive.
From the battle to the finish, the entire process is literally instant.
When the battle was over, Old Scone grumbled.
“You gave a lot of effort just because your juniors came.”
“It’s been a while, comrade. You have to show off your cool side.”
Grenzo smiled and looked back at Elena, who looked dumbfounded.
“Did you ask where is this place?”
He spread his arms again as if he were using magic.
“It is the end of the world, and the beginning of hell. It is the boundary between the two.”
The end of the world and the beginning of hell.
“And the three of us are a group of people who opened doors. ……… No.”
Grenzo pointed his finger at Elena.
“Now there are four.”
A meeting of those who opened the door.
“Welcome, comrade.”
The middle-aged woman slowly approached Elena with a meaningful smile. She then took her hand and gently lifted it up, then she put her own finger on her wrist and cut her straight.
Oops
The hot energy penetrated his skin and he drew a picture. It is the symbol of the cross.
“Because it is the first time, many things will be strange and curious. Of course you will be afraid. … But don’t worry. We will be by your side in the future.”
This time the whole world started shaking.
“It’s time to close the door.”
Then, old man Scone, who was giggling eerily, glanced at the three men and women and said,
“I have a new comrade, so why don’t we all see each other for the first time in a while?”
“I like it.”
“Is it so?”
Grenzo, the poor ghost, and Shetlan, the middle-aged lady, also agreed.
“Comrade Elena. If you have a chance, come visit me in the capital. If you are busy, you can come after work.”
“All right. I will definitely visit you.”
“Yes, comrade. Don’t worry too much … It was a pleasure meeting you today.”
Grenzo held out her hand to Elena. The bodies of the four were already faintly blurred.
And the moment she clasped his hand and said goodbye, her eyes flashed.
ㅡㅡㅡ.
… Ah….
When I look back, what I see is a dark dorm room. Master Patong was sitting on the bed, just as he was meditating earlier.
Elena glanced at the blind saint sleeping on the bed right next to her. …… It doesn’t seem like too much time has passed.
It all felt like a dream to her. However, what is different from a dream is that all memories and sensations are so vivid.
Just then, she felt a slight pain in her wrist.
On her left wrist, the cross drawn by Shetlan, a middle-aged lady, was engraved.
…… Elena,
She realized that she had become a member of a group of open people.
