Re:Zero: Starting from the Great Transformation

Page 111

Under the guidance of Silvalir, we soon arrived at the room where the transfer magic circle was located, to be precise, on the third floor of the basement.

There was no lighting in the room, but the magic circle on the floor emitted a bluish-white light. The complex patterns gave people a very profound feeling. With Rudeus and I's attainments in teleportation magic circles, we were completely unable to understand it.

"As long as you pass through this magic circle, you will reach the town of Licaris in the Demon Continent."

Said Silvalir.

"The other end of the magic circle has been sealed, so you'll have to find a way to leave. But this shouldn't be a problem for you two, right?"

"of course."

That's right, Rudeus and I are an ace duo.

Rudeus possesses the ability to see through the eyes and perform magic without chanting, and his total magic power is comparable to that of Laplace.

I possess the king-level swordsmanship of the third school and an immortal body that can cope with any harsh environment.

If the two of us join forces, even defeating the Demon King will be no problem.

"Then, let's go."

"Wait a minute, Ron."

Just as I was about to step into the magic circle, Rudeus called me.

He said seriously:

"Isn't it about time you explained why you didn't want Nanahoshi to know about this, no matter what?"

Look at his serious expression.

If I don't explain in detail, I'm afraid they won't agree to set off.

I sighed helplessly.

“…Because I might die.”

"What do you mean?"

"Those of you who have traveled to the Demon Continent before should be very clear about it... No, even you may not fully understand the horror of the Demon Continent. After all, you had Ruijierud to protect you at that time, so it was actually quite easy."

"Well, I don't deny that."

"That's why, Rudeus."

I said seriously:

"If everything goes well, we'll be back in two or three days. But in the worst-case scenario, we might even face a war with the Demon King. Even if we say we want to return alive, we still might die."

"..."

"So, what would happen if I told Nanahoshi?"

"..."

"If I return safely, there won't be any problem even if I don't tell her. But if the worst happens, and Qixing knows that I met with misfortune in the Demon Continent for her, how will she feel?"

Qixing is a girl who is not good at speaking, but she is thoughtful and sensitive.

Once faced with that situation, she would inevitably be under tremendous pressure.

Maybe he will blame himself for my death.

That's something I absolutely don't want to see.

I took the risk so that Qixing could continue to live without worries in this world, but if Qixing had to bear heavy pressure because of my risk, then I would be putting the cart before the horse.

Therefore, this matter must be kept secret from Qixing no matter what.

She is the last person in the world who should know about this.

"I see, Ron."

Rudeus smiled helplessly.

"Although it's strange to say this now, Ron, I really admire you... You're the most special person I've ever met, bar none, to risk your life simply to help others."

"Don't make the atmosphere so tense, Rudeus."

I patted his shoulder.

"Didn't I tell you? We must come back alive."

"Yeah, that's true."

Rudeus took a deep breath, holding his wand in one hand and holding mine with the other.

We stepped onto the magic circle together.

As Silvalir activated the magic circle, light gradually surrounded Rudeus and me.

Rudeus suddenly said:

"By the way, don't you Chinese have a farewell saying, something like... The wind whistles and the Yi River is cold, the hero leaves and never returns?"

"Fuck you."

Chapter of Human Gods: 110, The Great Emperor of the Demonic World

Likaris Town.

One of the three major cities in the Demon Continent.

During the war between humans and demons, this was the town used as the base by the Demon Emperor Chishilica Chishiris.

The entire town of Licaris is built in the depression of a huge crater. The walls of the crater have become natural city walls. They have resisted enemy invasions several times during the previous wars between humans and demons. Now they also play a role in preventing the invasion of monsters and are a natural barrier.

In the center of town stands the half-collapsed city of Chichiris.

This castle was destroyed during the Battle of Laplace, leaving behind traces of the battle between the Demon Lord of the Chishilica faction—specifically, Badigondi—and the Demon Lord Laplace.

It allows people to clearly understand the power of the Demon Emperor at that time and the harsh history of the demons.

“Thinking about it now, that period is quite nostalgic.”

Looking at the town in the crater in the distance, Rudeus muttered to himself.

"Although I ended up in a strange place for no apparent reason and had to take care of a restless young lady, I didn't have to think about anything else during that time. I just wanted to go home."

"I don't know how Alice is doing now..."

"When Ruijie Lude came a while ago, he said there might be some kind of misunderstanding between Alice and me. I don't know if it's true or not."

Thinking back to Alice, Rudeus's mood was obviously a little depressed.

I patted his shoulder.

"Rudeus, in fact, Alice has always loved you."

"Why do you suddenly say such things?"

"You know, I've been to the Holy Land of Swords before."

I said softly:

"When I arrived at the Holy Land of Swords, Alice was also training there. Every day, she persevered in the boring training, fighting various opponents, becoming stronger so that she could stand by your side."

"What did you say?"

"Alice has always been working hard for you and has never thought of abandoning you."

"Are you kidding..."

Hearing this news suddenly made Rudeus' expression become quite interesting.

His expression changed several times, finally turning into a wry smile.

"Why did you wait until now to tell me?"

"If I had told you in advance, things wouldn't be going so smoothly between you, Sylphy, and Roxy, right?"

"That's true... but I only found out about this now. If Alice comes back, how should I face her? Should I tell her honestly that I already have two wives?"

"don’t worry."

I patted Rudeus's shoulder.

"When we get back, I'll explain everything to you. Whether it's Alice, Roxy, or Sylphy."

"Really... I'll be sorry to trouble you then."

Rudeus sighed.

The skill of speaking.

We have come closer along the desolate ground to the confines of the town of Licaris.

During the journey, some foolish monsters emerged from the ground and tried to attack Rudeus and me.

There are so many monsters in the Demon Continent that they can almost be seen everywhere. They are more common than wild dogs.

A sandworm that is thicker and heavier than a tree that can be hugged by two people, and more than seven or eight meters long.

A demonic tree waving its branches like a frantic swordsman.

Packs of scavenging wolves hunt corpses.

In just half a day's journey, we were attacked more than ten times.

This is unimaginable for people in the Central Continent.

However, after Rudeus activated his foresight, this level of sneak attack was still within his control. Basically, Rudeus would issue a warning of the attack and point out the direction.

A huge sandworm weighing almost seven or eight tons opened its bloody mouth and attacked me.

I punched him straight in the face without dodging or avoiding.

"boom--"

As the fist wrapped in fighting spirit was swung out, the surging fighting spirit directly blew away the sandworm that was attacking from the front. The skin that was originally rugged and hard enough to pass through sand and gravel instantly became riddled with holes.

"Rock Cannonball!"

Rudeus casually fired a rock cannonball, hitting the head accurately.

The monster that fell to the ground and struggled was completely killed.

"It's much more dangerous than the Beccarit Continent."

Rudeus was amazed.

"That's all there is to it."

I used a little force and crushed the head of the giant monster in front of me.

I recalled in a trance that there was a time when I had to use all my strength and rack my brains to defeat such a monster.

But now I don’t even need a sword, I can just blow it up with a punch of my bare hands.

"If only the process of obtaining Socas Grass could be so smooth..."

I couldn't help but sigh.

"anyway……"
