Ex Strongest Swordsman Longs For Magic In Different World

380 Formerly The Strongest, Arriving In The Holy City

The Somas on their way to the Holy City were able to go along the road so lightly that they clapped out.

Finding the first village was the one that had some difficulty, but it was probably about that time that I had a struggle-like difficulty.

And if I could find one, it would have been easy to find the next.

No matter how despicable the place is, I know about the nearby villages and cities.

All you have to do is go from there to where it exists in certain directions of the Holy Capital.

If we repeated it, we could definitely get closer to the Holy City.

Not to say the shortest, but where we rushed for the shortest, it could well be that it would take longer as a result.

What mattered now was certainty.

Also, we were able to go light on the road because there was nothing.

Instead of being as confused as it was in Veritas, there wasn't one.

Everywhere is peaceful, and even demons rarely show up.

The journey of Soma and the others went too well.

Naturally, we listen to stories about the Holy Capital on the road.

But at least from what I've heard, there didn't seem to be anything unusual about the Holy Capital.

It's not just the villages and cities away from the Holy Capital, but getting close to the Holy Capital doesn't change that, and you can just hear from anyone's mouth how the Holy Capital is doing as usual and makes no difference.

"Hmm... well, as expected, but still an anomaly"

But it's an anomaly in itself.

To Soma's words, Eina and Sheila also nodded.

"Right. I was honestly relieved at first... but it seems like it's going to last."

"... no one said anything unusual... but I didn't hear from anyone who came back from the Holy Capital"

Yes, as Sheila says, we don't hear stories about coming back from the Holy City, even though we hear stories about going to the Holy City.

Yet everyone tells him that there is no abnormality in the Holy City as if he had all his mouths together.

How can you say that there is no abnormality when there is no such thing as knowing what is going on in the Holy City today?

But well, it's not so surprising that that happens if you're away from the Holy Capital.

You won't be very involved with the Sacred Capital, so it would be natural to assume that it wouldn't be the same without hearing about the anomalies.

Except for villages, cities, etc. near the Holy City.

The people who live there live with little involvement with the Holy Capital.

Because people are stopping by and dropping money on their way to the Holy City.

It's not just about going, it's about going home, they're a valuable source of income.

Of course, the Sacred Capital doesn't care about the trend of people coming and going to the Sacred Capital.

But even though no one was coming back from the Holy Capital, it didn't even look like they cared.

At the end of the sentence, there's nothing unusual about talking.

No matter what anyone thought, it was only an anomaly.

"Besides, even that city, the closest to the Holy City, was the same."

Looking back at the city we just left behind, breathe out a sigh of sight.

Sure, it's only been about ten days since then, but still, if you think normally, someone should come back.

But even that city, which is quite large, said that there was no abnormality with all the alignments.

That is an anomaly and at the same time a reminder of one thing.

"It's similar to Veritas, in a way."

"... there's a similarity in that I don't feel an anomaly.... the devil after all?

"Well... I don't know"

"Is that it? No? I thought so too..."

"It's true that it's similar, but I don't know exactly what it would be like to do that. The only anomaly is that no one cares about the Holy City."

"... to keep you from worrying about the anomalies in the Holy Capital?

"I don't want to make you realize what's going on in the Holy City... I think that's a little different. At least something's happening, and that's how we find out."

"... I don't know if I can even think about it, and I'm going to go further than that. Whatever it is, it would be quicker to see for yourself."

"... yeah, sure"

As I mentioned earlier, the city that I just left behind is one of the nearest cities in the Holy City.

In other words, not so far from here, there is the Holy Capital.

Thomas advanced his legs as he squeezed in wondering what was happening there after all.

And.

It was not long after that that that I was to stop that leg.

That is because we have finally been able to see what the Holy Capital looks like... and that sight has come to our attention.

No... can I say that I was able to see the Holy Capital in the first place?

Because in the place where the Holy Capital was supposed to be, there was something like a white sphere, and I saw nothing in it.

"... what, that"

"Hmmm... I could have wiped out the Holy City instead, or the Holy City would have wiped out because I could have... No, neither of you is sticking together."

"... in the first place, I doubt the Holy Capital is extinguished"

"If they say so, there's obviously no holy capital."

"Not necessarily, is it? It's just that we're invisible now. Well, for now, let's see if we can get close."

"He said he'd come close and make sure... to me? Are you all right?

"Well, you don't know if you're gonna be okay or not."

"... yeah, sure"

There's no sign of him attacking this one, but he's never been over alert.

While checking the surroundings, proceed with caution... but without even seeing something happen, we were able to get close to each other.

"Hmmm... on the contrary, it's enough to clap out"

"If nothing happens, you should do it. Nevertheless... if there's nothing so far, that's gonna be a problem."

"... I don't know what this is after all"

"This is... somehow, but I don't feel like I've crushed it, I feel like I'm covering the Holy City."

"Uh... sure if you ask me? This could happen if you cover the Holy City with a junction and visualize it like a white wall."

"... I mean, this is, like, a junction?... or are you covering and attacking with something?

"Attack, I guess not. It doesn't seem unpleasant, it seems to protect it in one way or another. However, it seems to be a very powerful thing to say about the juncture, so it may be homogeneous but superior."

And it was when I was saying that.

I didn't see any irregularities. I thought some of them were slightly waved, and I heard voices.

"-That's right."

It is a familiar voice, and shortly thereafter a familiar figure emerges from the other side of its rippled place.

It was Eleonora.

"Hmm, does Eleonora show up... still mean this is you or Satya's work?"

"Yes, you're right... but you're not surprised I showed up, are you?

"When I realized this was for protection, it was something I could have assumed."

"You're really just as good as ever. Well...... some of you have a first look, and I really just want to exchange greetings, can I skip it? Unfortunately, I can't afford it. Including telling stories that have accumulated over time."

"... no problem"

"He said he couldn't afford it... well, I know there was something to see, but what the hell happened? No... it's happening, should I say?

"Right...... of course I'll explain it well. Because this is how I came out to explain it in the first place. Well, it wasn't that hard, was it?

That being said, the condition of Eleonora, who tilted her neck slightly, was hardly anything that really happened.

And.

"- It's just a little bit that the Holy City is about to disappear."

He uttered those words in the same manner and tone.
