Water Magician

Chapter 298: Dark Insanity

It was complete darkness.

They couldn’t even see ten centimeters ahead, let alone one meter ahead.

But suddenly, in front of their eyes, a light appeared. The resulting light rose and stood still at a height of about five meters.

Based on that light, Niels intently explored his surroundings and pondered.

(Etho and Amon are here. Harold, Zeke, and Gowan are also here. There aren’t any others. The man who was wearing something like a priest’s uniform? Where did he go? He said welcome, but what did he mean... )

At the very least, the six people from ‘Room 10’ and ‘Room 11’ were there.

Furthermore, he noticed that below his feet were cobbled stone.

(The streets in ‘Baudelin’ was just hardened soil. In that case, this place we are now is not Baudelin...?)

Thinking up to that point, even Niels began to break into a cold sweat.

If they were moved in that split instance...

(Was it teleportation ...)

Teleportation isn’t an ordinary occurrence.

An example of teleportation in the Central Nations would be the case where the investigation teams were forcibly teleported to the 40th floor of the dungeon after the Great Tidal Bore ... and there is a Baron from the Empire capable of using some sort of teleportation.

That’s it.

(That’s right. Come to think of it, in the Western Countries we’re heading to, I recall there’s a dungeon with teleportation traps...?)

Just as Niels’ thoughts diverted, a man appeared in front of the six.

“Ah, the man from earlier...”

Niels stopped Harold from instinctively reaching out.

The man who appeared was dressed like a priest, one of the survivors of the small country mission.

However, that was just his appearance, and the atmosphere it emitted was completely different.

“What the hell are you...”

Involuntarily, Niels muttered.

Not ‘who’ but ‘what’.

That was how peculiar it seemed.

It was an atmosphere that Niels and the others from ‘Room 10’ had never experienced before.

Or should it be called presence?

The eyes of the ‘priest’ who said that were wide open.

Then he started thinking about something.

A small whisper leaked out of his mouth.

“Hmm, this... well, it’ll be a shame to kill them here. It’s really a shame. But, those who know about ‘Fallen’... should I restrain myself...? Hmm, right, I’ll do that.”

Then, he declared in a voice that carried far.

“First of all, I’m not an angel. Also, the truth is, I was going to take your lives here as well, just like the other guys. But I decided not to. Since you all gave me an interesting experience. By all means, let’s have you go to the Western Countries.”

At that moment, the vision of the six people cleared.

When the six looked around, they were at the crossroad of ‘Baudelin’.

Furthermore, adventurers from the Kingdom mission were running around the area.

“Niels, Etho, Amon, everyone!”

Niels and the others heard a familiar voice.

A water magician hugged the three with a crying face.

“I’m glad ...”

A small mutter escaped from Ryo’s mouth.

Author’s note:

Just an introductory appearance.

One of the themes throughout ‘Water Magician’

‘Energy supply’ or ‘endurance’, ‘fatigue’...

I have always wondered.

How does an angel who has left God (that is, a fallen angel) continue to exist...

In the first place, is it possible to continue to exist?

Ah, but as he says in the text, this person (?) who appeared this time is not an angel.

What he is will come out in the next few hundred thousand words, maybe.
