Chapter Ten 'Border Prison'

At this moment, let's set aside how the 'God of Fantasy' and the 'Goddess of Beauty' plan to handle the current anomaly, and just look at the group of people currently trapped in that underground labyrinth...

"The current situation is indeed very strange."

After Kong was the first to notice some unknown signs of abnormality, he immediately sent a message to Ying.

immediately……

"Sure enough, it seems we've been 'isolated'."

It should be noted that whether it is the Traveler Twins or the Genshin Impact clones, anyone associated with the 'system', including Ling Shu himself, can bring up a semi-transparent virtual interface to view 'map' information by simply following their will.

This can be considered a convenient feature that comes with the 'system'.

Previously, when Ling Shu was conquering dungeons in Orario, he made full use of its assistance and thus never got lost.

And now...

“Kong, many of the roads I’ve traveled have overlapped with the places you’ve been before.”

“But I have never seen any marks left by you nearby.”

Ying is comparing their respective 'map' data with Kong through a mental link.

As she said, many places had completely identical overall structures, and if the two sets of map information were put together, they would overlap directly, but Ying just couldn't see the route markings left by Kong.

And on this basis...

"This fork in the road..."

The third party... that is, the two Paimon teams, has now arrived at a fork in the cave.

Coincidentally, Ying also saw the same scene.

However, compared to the latter...

"We can see arrow marks on the wall!"

The two Paimons flew to a rock face and immediately spotted an arrowhead mark that was clearly made with a sharp tool.

The Traveler Twins can share visual information with their respective summoned Paimons, just as Ling Shu (the main body) can remotely share the five senses of the Traveler Twins and their Genshin Impact clones.

Therefore, Ying is now 100% certain that she and the two Paimons are on the same coordinate system.

but……

"Even though they're standing in the same spot, they can't sense each other's presence?"

In light of this fact, both Ying and Kong considered a certain possibility.

There's no way around it, the sense of déjà vu is just too strong.

"Where did this Limbo (Border Hell) come from?" ×2

Limbo, in the Catholic doctrine of our home planet Earth, refers specifically to a special region located between 'Heaven' and 'Hell', but not the 'human realm'.

To put it simply, it can essentially be seen as different 'layers' within the same space.

If we had to find a point of reference, it would be quite similar to the concept of 'mirror space' in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

at the moment……

"Ying, bring your people to my 'coordinates' first."

"Paimon is the same."

"Get as many people as possible together first."

"And then..."

Kong suggested, "I can try and see if my 'Eternal' power can help you escape."

The development capabilities of 'Eternity' correspond to the powers of 'Herrscher of the Void'.

This is the power that the 'system' obtained from Ling Shu's 'world in his previous life (the Collapsed World)'.

Now, through the same optimization of the 'system', it has been reproduced in the form of [development ability] on him and the Traveler Twins.

In short, the Herrscher of the Void possesses the power to manipulate space, and once fully developed, she may even be able to open the gate to the Imaginary Space.

Using this characteristic, Kong might be able to break through the current abnormal situation of this 'suspected border prison'.

It was precisely because of making this decision that...

At that moment, Kong, Ying, and the two Paimons informed everyone of the unusual phenomena they had observed and the solutions they had devised.

Unfortunately, many people these days are only meeting for the first time, and the level of trust between them is not high.

Therefore, some things still need to be clearly explained before taking action.

Even if it's complicated to explain... for example, technical terms like 'border jail' require a lot of explanation before Amid, the priestess, and others can even begin to understand their specific meaning.

I also need to share my knowledge about 'space' with others...

Honestly, it's fortunate that these adventurers know how to grasp the key points, otherwise... they would have been completely confused.

Not long after...

"Whoo~"

The two Paimons were the first to breathe a sigh of relief.

Unaffected by the anomaly, they were finally able to reunite with the latter team by following the marks left by Sora, Bell, and Goblin Slayer.

at this time……

“Miss Amed, I’m so glad you’re alright.”

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Crane."

At this time, the rabbit boy wasn't particularly close to the [Battle Maiden], but they had at least fought side-by-side once before and could exchange a few words. (PS: This is from the mobile game's storyline; Bell and Amid had temporarily joined the Rivera Town's extermination team to hunt down a Goliath.)

On the other side...

"So you got dragged into this too, huh, Nenekirimaru."

The miner-man shaman had already walked up to Goblin Slayer, laughing and joking around.

"In short, it's good that everyone is safe and sound."

As the lizard monk performed his customary ritual, he casually joined the conversation, "Young Assassin, what are your plans for the future?"

"Let's just follow them."

Goblin Slayer answered bluntly, "We have a serious lack of experience in dealing with this kind of anomaly, and... we don't have enough 'cards' (combat power) on hand."

"Most importantly, we don't know what other troubles await us, so there's no need to split up and increase the risk."

Hearing him say that...

"You remain as calm as ever, making people feel at ease and reliable."

Right now, the 'Sword Saintess' is speaking to Goblin Slayer with great respect.

It's not hard to see that the timeline in the 'God Slayer world' should be after the 'Water 7 quest'.

and……

"Your Excellency, how dare you be so humble towards this raggedly dressed adventurer?"

The 'Thousand Gold Swordsman' who was traveling with the 'Sword Saintess' had a very surprised expression on his face.

At this moment...

"It seems the 'movie version' incident hasn't even begun yet."

Standing aside, witnessing the current situation, Kong secretly made a plan in his mind.

Through the memories he inherited from Ling Shu (the original body), he learned that the girl 'Thousand Gold Swordsman' only gradually grew up in the later part of the 'Goblin Slayer' movie timeline.

Right now, she's probably the kind of careless person who thinks, "How could a mere goblin possibly stump me?"

To put it simply: he's stubborn and won't listen to advice from outsiders.

"Hopefully she won't make things worse."

Kong looked at a deserted spot and said, "The current situation is already troublesome enough."

At this moment, among all his allies, only he, possessing the power of 'Eternal Calamity', could 'see' Ying and her accompanying squad.

"Just as I guessed, this space has been 'folded'."

Chapter Eleven: The Advantage Lies With Me

The world of 'Goblin Slayer' is fundamentally different from the world of 'DanMachi'.

This is because there is no such thing as 'divine grace' within the former. Even the 'elite' level individuals among the sorcerers have a very limited number of spells they can cast each day. Therefore, the vast group of adventurers within the Goblin Slayer world are more skilled at studying things that can be collectively called 'skills'.

This includes 'drawing maps'.

Although there are 'Mappers' in the DanMachi world, and these are usually the ones surveying the terrain of the dungeons... they are still not as professional as the Mappers in the Goblin Slayer world.

As things stand now...

On Kong's side, the 'Sword Saintess' who just joined them is a very professional illustrator.

Despite the psychological trauma she suffered from in her early years, which makes her weak in the knees and completely unable to fight when she encounters goblins, she is still a highly renowned and extremely rare "Gold"-rank adventurer in the "Goblin Slayer world".

She can do everything: identification, response, map drawing.

at the moment……

"That's amazing."

Standing beside the 'Sword Saintess', Amid couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "What an exquisite map! Even the 'grids' are marked."

She actually had one more thing to say, because she felt it would be impolite.

At once……

The 'Sword Saintess' was blinded in her early years when goblins played with her using torches and burned her eyes, so... she is actually blind.
