Magic Chronicles : Fallen RaceChapter 77: Chapter 77: Idiot (Part 2)
Vielsia closed her eyes, and with her hands crossed and placed on her chest, a green glow emanated, and a scroll began to float slowly out of the elf’s body, spinning gently.
Reji looked at the scroll, and instead of complex and cryptic symbols or incantations, he saw a series of images similar to a landscape painting.
As Vielsia continued her gestures, the scroll unfurled before Reji like a 3D projection, and the mountains, rivers, and land depicted on the scroll transformed into a lifelike miniature world.
Then, with another wave of Vielsia’s hand, the scroll began to roll up again, and the projected world above it seemed to be rolled up as well, disappearing one by one.
Vielsia’s demonstration was over.
This was the sealing technique that the elves had painstakingly researched to seal the Demon Race.
“It’s like a two-way mirror, isn’t it?”
Vielsia looked confused. “What are you saying, Teacher Reji?”
“Nothing, I just understand the principle of your sealing technique now. It’s like sealing the Demon Race into your painting, right?”
Seeing the elf girl nod, Reji felt a chill run down his spine.
‘Heh’
‘That’s harsh.’
‘It’s like compressing the Demon Race from a three-dimensional world into a two-dimensional one’
“According to our plan, we will take advantage of the moment when the Demon Race is preparing to descend but has not yet completely broken through the Chaos Rift. Using the passage of the Chaos Rift, we will cast the scroll’s seal into it, thus capturing all the demons in one fell swoop.”
After listening to Vielsia’s explanation, Reji nodded.
The Chaos Rift was an independent black box outside the world.
Whether the Demon Race wanted to escape or the elves outside wanted to seal the Demon Race, they would have to wait for a gap in this black box.
No wonder Vielsia and the others chose this moment.
“Earlier, you mentioned that you wanted my help. Does that mean that with the elves’ current strength, you still can’t use this sealing scroll?”
At Reji’s question, Vielsia looked dejected and lowered her head.
“Yes, Teacher Reji, the roots of the spell ritual on this scroll do not originate from our elven clan. Instead, they were discovered by our ancestors through studying the Son of Destiny from a thousand years ago, and it is a spatial spell.”
“Discovered… Son of Destiny? Spatial spell?”
This information from Vielsia surprised Reji.
As the Son of Destiny from a thousand years ago, how could he not remember having such a powerful “two-way mirror”?
‘Wait!? Hold on!’
Reji suddenly realized that he had fallen into a cognitive trap.
The elves’ research was not necessarily about his abilities.
It could be… Game system functions!?
And when he thought of a function similar to a “two-way mirror” combined with the keyword “spatial spell,” Reji immediately thought of a game function.
Home Realm!
The Home Realm system was an external function, so Reji did not inherit it when he crossed over, which he found quite a pity when he checked the system.
Simply put, the Home Realm was a function similar to a “mini-world in a pocket.” Its physical form could be a scroll, a gourd, a handbag, etc., and its appearance was up to the player’s preference and did not matter.
In the game, Reji had shaped the appearance of his Home Realm into something like a Pok Ball.
This was a bit twisted.
Because the main purpose of the Home Realm was to store companions. As mentioned earlier when building relationships, placing new characters in the Home Realm and not visiting them would still slowly increase their affection over time. (Hail: Think of it like Genshin tea pot)
This was quite common in many games, and many players who were enthusiastic about their Home Realms would make the interiors incredibly beautiful with various landscapes. But Reji was the kind of person who casually placed all sorts of luxurious furniture in his Home Realm without much thought.
Bringing his thoughts back, if the sealing scroll in front of Vielsia was indeed modeled after his Home Realm system from a thousand years ago, then he had misunderstood. This was not a two-way mirror but more like a… Spatial folding spell’
The living beings inside could still live well, to put it simply, it was like moving into a big house.
To verify, Reji quickly asked, “I see mountains, rivers, and other such things in the scroll. What are their purposes?”
“They are all real, used to provide for the survival of the demons sealed inside.”
“Huh?”
Reji was completely caught off guard.
“Provide for the demons’ survival?”
“Yes, although we seek revenge against the Demon Race, the lives of demons are also lives, and they are also living beings. Unlike the Demon Race, after we seal them, we will have absolute control, and at that time, we will eliminate all sources of evil, the nine apostles and the Demon King.
As for the remaining low-level demons, we will leave them and let them live in this scroll forever.”
Reji: “…”
“I see.”
It could only be said that the elven race had high moral values. Actions like not exterminating the enemy completely and leaving their descendants behind were something Reji felt humans would never do.
Humans were always selfish.
That was why.
“Vielsia, can you give me the scroll?”
Reji extended his hand to the elf princess.
He was asking for the scroll.
Vielsia hesitated subconsciously, recalling the warnings of the Great Elder, who had repeatedly instructed her never to hand the scroll over to any outsider. But after a brief pause, Vielsia also extended her hand.
“Here, Teacher Reji.” Ꮇ√ᏞЕᎷⱣႸЯ.СОМ
Reji, who had formed a “Princess bond” with her, was no longer an outsider. Her teacher who had repelled the terrifying Shadow Demon was undoubtedly on the same side as the elves in the fight against the Demon Race.
Therefore, Vielsia trusted Reji greatly.
Otherwise…
Could it be that everything they had experienced together was fake? Deliberately orchestrated?
Vielsia had considered this possibility.
After all, if she could use a false identity, others could too.
But the battle with the Shadow Demon had completely dispelled her doubts.
‘It could be said that Teacher was acting before, but what about that terrifying Shadow Demon? Was it also invited by Teacher Reji to act?’
‘What kind of status would Teacher Reji have in the Demon Race?’
‘A leader?’
‘An apostle?’
‘Or the Demon King?’
‘Assuming that all of the above is true, it would be self-contradictory because if Teacher Reji were truly an apostle or even the Demon King, it would be easy to manipulate me. So why go to such great lengths to put on an act?’
‘To obtain the sealing scroll? The prerequisite for sealing is that the Demon King and the apostles are still trapped in the Chaos Rift. Now that the Demon King has emerged, what is there to fear from the sealing?’
To obtain her body or the secrets she hides? The Demon Race’s method would be to capture her like the Black Beast Legion did in the past generation and have the Wicked Demon Apostle brainwash and transform her. She would then become the Demon Clan’s most loyal servant, willingly revealing all secrets.
What else could they be after? Vielsia couldn’t think of anything else.
Unless… they wanted to win her heart? This was something that the Wicked Demon’s brainwashing could never achieve.
But… in the end, Vielsia found herself thinking absurd and laughable thoughts.
Laughing at how stupid this Demon King was.
After giving the scroll to Reji, nothing happened. From Vielsia’s perspective, Reji carefully examined the scroll for a while before returning it to her.
‘See? If Teacher Reji had any ill intentions, would he have returned it? He would just steal it and kill me’
After Reji obtained the scroll, an item panel appeared, displaying:
[Sealing Scroll (Replica)]
‘Hmm. As I expected’
‘It seemed that the Great Elder of the Elven race was well aware of the princess’s nature and had left a backup plan.’
‘In that case…’
“How is it, Teacher Reji? Do you have any clues?” Vielsia asked eagerly.
“I have some, but I need time to study it carefully. If I could have some more elves come to assist, it would probably be faster.”
“Ah! Really!!” Hearing that Reji had some clues and might be able to use the sealing scroll, Vielsia was incredibly excited.
The current situation was that the Demon Race was showing signs of descending, and they needed to act quickly.
So, to speed up Reji’s research… “No problem!”
“I’ll write to the Great Elders right away! Teacher, rest assured, the Great Elders are just outside the Royal City in the church area, they’ll be here very soon!”
Reji nodded.
‘So, they were just outside the Royal City? That would save me some trouble’
“Thank you, Vielsia.” Reji expressed his heartfelt gratitude.
Soon, under the princess communication magic, the letter turned into a small bird, which Vielsia released from the window, flying into the dark night sky.
This small bird, filled with the hopes ofVielsia’s expectations, soared in the night sky and flew out of the Royal City.
The small bird arrived at a forest in the suburbs, reaching a very secretive area that seemed perfectly ordinary from the outside. As it descended, it saw the barrier of the Elven race.
If it entered the barrier, the small bird would have completed its mission, but…
*Swish!*
Unfortunately.
A shadow claw appeared from the void, grasping the small bird. Despite its struggles, it could not reach the barrier.
Shermen’s petite figure floated in the air, moonlight shining on her Shadow Demon cloak, revealing a few cold, expressionless features on her face beneath the shadow.
She activated a communication ritual.
“My King, I’ve confirmed the location of the other elves.”
-Inside the Arcane Academy in Ilinor.
Reji bid farewell to Vielsia, assuring her that he was fine and politely declining the elf’s offer to take care of him further. He walked out.
After completely leaving Vielsia’s line of sight, Reji stopped.
He took a deep breath, raised his head, and looked at the full moon above.
After pausing for a few seconds, Reji no longer hesitated. He turned and entered the shadow, arriving at Shermen’s side through the shadow tunnel she left for him.
He arrived at… the headquarters where the other elves were hiding, above the forest barrier.
“Send a message to Dian, Eileen, and Eris. Tell the three apostles to drop everything they’re doing and gather here in one minute. Surround this place completely.”
“As you wish, My King.”
