Chapter 267 Closed

In a faraway place, Conrad who was enjoying his lunch suddenly stopped his spoon before the food touched his mouth. Conrad froze for a moment.

'What was that?'

He felt a strange jolt that he felt from an unknown place.

Conrad glanced around. But he saw nothing different other than the soldiers and scientists enjoying their lunch.

As if time was running as usual without any problem. But Conrad felt the feeling so clearly.

It didn't make him feel any pain. However, Conrad felt anxious.

If he, as someone who could use Magic felt such a jolt, that would mean...

'It's definitely some kind of Magic. Someone is casting really strong Magic!'

Conrad finished his lunch even though he had not emptied his tray.

Conrad immediately went to meet Thomas. When he reached Thomas's room, Conrad immediately knocked on his door loud and fast.

His uneasiness kicks in the inside of his chest. Conrad would not be able to calm down until he could confirm what he had just felt.

Thomas opened the door. His eyes were slightly closed. And he was only wearing a t-shirt and boxers.

His hair also looks messier than usual.

"What?" Thomas asked in a hoarse voice.

"You were asleep?" Conrad was surprised to see Thomas seemed to just wake up. It made Conrad's attention a little distracted from what he should have said.

But it didn't take long, maybe a split second, for Conrad to remember the important thing he had to tell Thomas.

"Yeah, I-" 𝙛𝘳𝘦e𝓌e𝗯n𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝚘𝑚

"It doesn't matter," Conrad cut Thomas off.

Thomas gave him a full scowl.

"I felt a strange jolt. We need to talk."

Because Conrad said that with a clear sense of urgency in his voice.

And his face that broke out in cold sweat became a clear indication that Conrad was panicking.

Thomas ignored his annoyance and let Conrad into his room.

"What happened?" Thomas asked.

Conrad and Thomas sat in chairs opposite each other.

"I feel a jolt from Magic being used somewhere. Did, for some reason, Steve or Annie go somewhere to do something?" Conrad asked.

But Thomas shook his head. "No. They didn't go anywhere. They were in his room after lunch."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course. They are being watched in the room twenty-four hours straight. We will know if they do anything," said Thomas. "What are you feeling?"

Conrad sighed. "This is something similar to what I felt in the world of the Elves." 𝒇𝑟e𝙚𝑤𝙚𝐛𝗻𝐨ν𝚎𝘭.c𝐨m

Thomas frowned at that.

"What do you mean?" asked Thomas, starting to get more curious.

"There is someone who uses a large amount of Magic, Thomas! And I mean in this world!"

Thomas's eyes opened wide in disbelief.

"But...How...?" Thomas was also at a loss for words.

His genius brain momentarily froze in shock. How could anyone else use Magic in this world?

"I don't know either," said Conrad.

"Wait, are you sure you felt it? Are you still feeling it now? Is it real, or is it just a complication like what you had before?"

Conrad had indeed experienced a feeling of uneasiness when he had just returned to this world.

It was as if the Magic he had brought here couldn't adjust to this world that was foreign to it.

But the feeling back then, to how he felt now was completely different.

At that time he only felt a feeling of homesickness that is difficult to describe.

But now Conrad felt a feeling like something just exploded inside his chest.

"No. This is different. I'm sure someone has used Magic in this world!" Conrad spoke through grinding his teeth.

Cold sweat began to appear more on Conrad's forehead. Thomas was of course aware of that too.

"Alright," said Thomas. "Do you have any guesses about where this Magic was used?"

Conrad sighed. "I felt a brief, very strong jolt. But it was too brief for me to know exactly where it was."

"Okay," Thomas stood up. "We have to find a place where an anomaly has happened."

After that, Thomas got dressed and they went to find the source of Conrad's anxiety.

On the other hand, Dragon-Erend who was fighting with that strange monster felt that his victory was getting closer.

After he had pulled the monster's tentacles towards him, Dragon-Erend slammed a fist into Squid's head.

Having learned from his mistakes, Dragon-Erend felt that it was the squid's head that was spewing out the pitch-black liquid.

Then he must quickly destroy the squid's head.

But it turns out that the octopus head that saw all that would not allow Dragon-Erend to do whatever he wanted.

When Dragon-Erend wanted to open his mouth and shoot Thunder breath toward the squid's head, there were a dozen tentacles that bound his body from all sides.

The tentacles even bound Dragon-Erend's head which made him have to shut his mouth again.

"GRRRHH..."

Dragon-Erend, who was fed up with all the tentacles and everything this monster did, released a large amount of his Magic energy again.

*JZZZCCCHHHHUUUTTT!!!*

The lightning that shot out from Dragon-Erend's entire body shattered the tentacles in an instant.

The monster let out a sound similar to a scream of pain.

Dragon-Erend strangled the squid head and the octopus head with both hands simultaneously.

'I'm done with you!'

Dragon-Erend channeled his lightning Magic energy into his two hands.

*JZZZCCHHH!!!*

The monsters were squirming, realizing that their death was very close.

But no matter how hard they tried to escape from Dragon-Erend's grasp, in the end, they couldn't go anywhere.

Lightning poured from Dragon-Erend's hand. Striking furiously and then finally reaching the head of the octopus and squid.

*JJZZZCCCHHHTTT!!!*

*BOOM!*

Lightning flashed with such force that it once again surfaced.

*CRAAATTT!*

*CRAAATTT!*

The two sea creatures' heads were instantly destroyed by the Dragon-Erend's lightning strike.

Dragon-Erend then just threw it. The creature's corpse fell deeper into the ocean floor.

Dragon-Erend watched it disappear deeper and deeper with eyes burning with rage. But now at least the anger had lessened a little after he had killed it.

"Huh..."

Dragon-Erend exhaled through his nose. The sigh came out as a large bubble rose to the surface.

After that, Dragon-Erend dived deeper into the red blob that looked like gel.

The blob looked bigger than before. Maybe because Dragon-Erend was hampered by the monster. Thus giving time for the dimensional leak to enlarge.

Dragon-Erend who realized the urgency of this immediately flapped his wings to shoot toward the dimensional leak.

After a few moments of swimming closer, he didn't notice any enemies that had suddenly come out from within the tear of space-time and ambushed him just like before.

Dragon-Erend finally arrived in front of the red blob that looked like gel.

It didn't look like the dimensional leak he had in mind.

He thought he would see some sort of hole wide open like a tear in that space-time.

'Tut, do I just have to do the same thing as when I stopped Chaos Magic back then?' Dragon-Erend asked.

[ "Yes." ]

'Alright.'

Dragon-Erend focused his mind, using his will to seal the dimensional leak.

If what Tut said was true, he just had to focus his will and this dimensional leak would be covered.

It didn't take long for that red gel to react with Dragon-Erend's Magic.

It started moving towards Dragon-Erend as if it was being pulled by a strong force.

Dragon-Erend kept his eyes open. When the dimensional leak gel started to touch his scale, he saw what scenery lay on the other side of the dimension.

'It's just like that time,' Erend thought.

Back then, when he was handling Chaos Magic in the Elf palace, Dragon-Erend saw glimpses of a world that existed on the other side of the dimension.

At this moment, he too saw an almost identical flash. But this time he felt it much more clearly.

Not only can he see it, but Dragon-Erend can also feel the atmosphere beyond that dimension.

Arid, dry, and feelings of hatred have accumulated for a very long time.

'Damnit! What's this? I've never felt this kind of feeling before!'

Dragon-Erend gritted his teeth. The lightning around his body also reacted by flashing even harder.

He absorbed more and more of the dimensional leakage energy.

Then, he saw a scene in front of him.

There was a very tall tree in the arid reddish land.

There was only one tree in that vast area. As if it was a lonely single ruler.

The trunks and branches of the trees were emaciated. But the tree is very tall.

From here Dragon-Erend saw it like a stick standing in the middle of a large field. Because the tree has an unbalanced diameter and height.

Strangely, the tree has no leaves. Even so, the tree bears fruit.

The fruit hangs from the branches. The fruit of the tree is blood red and shaped like an egg.

'Shit, what the fuck am I looking at?'

Dragon-Erend felt uncomfortable feeling as he stared at the strange tree.

Coupled with the disturbing feelings that had filled his chest earlier, all of that made him want to finish this as soon as possible.

Luckily, he was a little closer to absorbing all of that dimensional leak energy.

Several minutes passed until he finally managed to close all the dimensional leaks that spread evil Magic.

[ Urgent Quest Completed! ]

[ Progress: Close the Dimension leakage (Completed) ]

[ Reward: 500 Exp. ]

[ You Leveled Up! ]

After getting the notification, Dragon-Erend immediately swam back up.

In his heart, he felt a sense of relief.

Finally, he managed to overcome the unexpected and very dangerous threat.

Even though there have been casualties.
