The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

but.

Since he's not in the Shadow World, he might not need to use magic cards.

The magical artifacts on their bodies can also be used.

Dekan snapped his fingers lightly.

Suddenly, a mysterious power surged across the grass, and the grass began to undergo subtle changes.

At first, only the vines on the grass trembled slightly.

However, in an instant, this change rapidly expanded, and the vines that broke through the soil seemed to be injected with life force, and began to grow wildly!

Their speed was so fast that it would be unbelievable to anyone who hadn't seen it with their own eyes; even the cloaked woman hadn't expected the plants to cause such a disturbance.

Although her combat awareness and experience allowed her to react immediately, the grassland seemed to have become a prison that confined life. Strange vines intertwined and formed a dense network that covered the entire grassland. Before she could retreat, her legs were tightly bound by the wildly growing vines!

She struggled to break free, but the vines seemed to have a mind of their own, tightening their grip and making it impossible for her to move an inch.

"Damn it? Did you set a trap here all along?"

The cloaked woman shouted angrily.

The wood-based magic that could conjure up such a powerful plant out of thin air was definitely beyond the magical power of the man before him.

I just felt a terrifying outpouring of magical power.

It's likely that this man sowed flower seeds here long ago and then used special magic to bring them to life!

"Yes, after all, we clerical workers can't beat you."

Dekan readily acknowledged his weakness.

These vines on the ground were seeds of demonic plants that he had secretly scattered when he arrived here.

These are all special plants that were carefully cultivated after being brought out from the Demon King's Tomb.

After being allowed to grow wildly by 【Starlight Irrigation】, it can easily trap enemies of level five or six.

Even a seventh-tier enemy can be bound for a short while.

"How long do you think these vines can hold me back?"

The cloaked woman asked coldly, and at the same time, terrifying magic erupted from her body. Accompanied by the shadows of bright red claws, the vines began to be suddenly severed one after another!

She was briefly astonished by the abundant magical power emanating from the human before her.

This means that this human's rank is not low, but because he is a mentally specialized type, his combat ability appears weak!

Such fancy methods most likely indicate a scholar's auxiliary function!

Or it could be a healing role like that of a priest! Because there are only a few development paths for those with only spiritual power!

But she soon figured it out.

No matter what kind of support you use, even if you're at the same tier, you can't beat her in a one-on-one fight.

But the plant couldn't hold her for long.

Before she could break free, even if the other person wanted to escape with the little girl, they wouldn't be able to get very far; she would catch up with them in an instant!

Dekan did not reply.

She simply took off a ring from her hand and tossed it gently to the enemy.

To avoid accidentally injuring Zestellila and to reliably capture the enemy, using this item is the safest option.

After all, Zestellila could not withstand the aftershocks of any magic of the seventh rank or higher.

Besides, even if I defeat the cloaked woman, I might not be able to capture her.

And so, to the fascination of the cloaked woman.

The moment the ring was about to touch her body.

Suddenly, a terrifying surge of chaotic magic twisted and expanded from the ring, transforming into a demonic eye that seemed capable of tearing through space and time!

Instantly, space twisted into a deep blue void vortex, but no harmful magical energy spread.

Less than a second.

The space was restored.

The cloaked woman's figure then disappeared.

……

at the same time.

A similar magical fluctuation was generated somewhere in the town.

The living room is warm and inviting, brimming with the warmth of everyday life.

Sunlight streamed through the windows, adding a soft glow to the entire room. The warm sunlight shone on the wooden floor, filling the space with a natural beauty.

The soft beige walls are adorned with exquisite decorative paintings, exuding tranquility and harmony.

There is also a small coffee table in one corner of the living room, paired with two comfortable chairs.

It seems that the two people living here can enjoy delicious tea and snacks while admiring the scenery outside the window, spending a pleasant afternoon together.

Where...is this place?

The cloaked woman, who had appeared out of nowhere, steadied herself, instinctively maintaining her balance, and stared blankly at her surroundings.

The sudden change made her heart pound.

The living room, which looks like that of an ordinary family, is located in a house full of love, and every corner exudes the warmth and comfort of home.

The only difference is that there is a void door on the wall of the living room.

It seems that I was just teleported out from the edge of the void gate.

Spatial magic?!

As the cloaked woman thought rapidly and gained a deeper understanding of the current situation, her breathing became rapid, and her heart beat faster.

She never expected that the man would casually toss out a magical item that contained spatial magic!

Thankfully, it's a functional spatial magic rather than a destructive one!

Furthermore, given the portability of this device, it would be impossible for a man to teleport her over long distances using the magic power he himself possesses.

and so.

That guy.

In order to escape from her, he teleported her to a coordinate as far away as possible.

However, this place is...

Just as she was thinking.

"Dekan?"

A slightly puzzled voice came from the direction of the kitchen, which connects to the living room.

"Is that you back?"

Following the sound of footsteps, a soft voice came again.

Like a wife waiting for her husband to come home.

The cloaked woman remained silent.

But at that moment she also caught a glimpse of the photos hanging on the wall, one of which was none other than the gray-haired man from before.

Is it...

Is this his home?

She seemed to understand something!

And this time.

The red-haired woman, wearing an apron, emerged from the kitchen and looked at the unexpected guest in the living room with a slightly surprised expression.

She was holding a small kitchen knife in her hand.

She looks frail and weak.

"Hmph... Hmph hmph hmph..."

A joyful, yet heavily suppressed voice finally escaped from the cloaked woman's lips.

That idiot isn't skilled in spatial magic!

I thought he was some kind of amazing guy!

I never expected to make such a mistake—I chose the wrong teleportation coordinates!

That red-haired village girl is probably your wife, right?

Just wait until you see your woman's horribly mutilated corpse, and you'll completely regret your decision!

The cloaked woman could no longer suppress the smile on her lips.

They sped toward the red-haired woman!

Side Story 06 Cornelia's Skill is Ultimate

This is the living room of an average family in a small town.

The cloaked woman aimed at the red-haired village girl, her fingertips drawing an arc in the air, carrying a deadly force as she headed straight for her neck.

Her soft, sinister laugh echoed throughout the space, her eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty light, as if announcing her imminent joy in indulging in extreme torture and murder.

In the blink of an eye, the attack, which turned into a black afterimage, was as swift as lightning.

If left unattended, none of the guards in this town would have any chance to react!

Faced with a sudden attack.

Cornelia frowned slightly.

The knife in her hand suddenly fell, and the ground around the cloaked woman suddenly cracked!
