155 [3-12] VS. Global warming (2/2)

With yesterday's progress, we should be able to reach the entrance to the jungle by midday.

”Oh, good, good, good.

Alastor, who is standing by, gives the report from the caller.

From the point where the magic circle was laid out, there was a straight line of trees cut down to the north. On the other side of the road, work is being done at a rapid pace to connect the road to the outside of the jungle.

It's not much of a path, since it's just trees cut down and grass cleared, but it should be enough for now.

We'll do our best, then.

”Miaranse, are you okay with your pen?

”No, I'm fine!　I'm sure you'll get a perfect chant ......!

I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.

She had only been given her powers as a vampire by Rene, and she still lacked training and actual combat experience. And yet she had been sent out to do something that would change the landscape, so it was natural for her to be nervous.

Besides, we are in a situation where there is no way to get back if we fail.

This is a huge spell that requires not only the veins of the surrounding area but also Rene's own magic power. If we fail to activate it and waste the magic, our schedule will be greatly disrupted and we may be in a tight spot.

I'm sure you'll be fine.” ”No, well, I'm the main one talking about technology, so you don't have to be so nervous.

”Let's get started, Everis. Maybe the longer we wait, the more nervous I'll get.

”Okay. Okay, let's follow my lead.

”Yes, yes!

Everis began to weave a cheerful chant, followed by Rene and Miaranse.

The light that illuminated the three of them (or should I say one and two? The light that illuminated the three of them (or should I say one and two?) shone strongly and weakly, flickering in time with their voices.

Rene feels a sense of emptiness, almost like an intense hunger.

He is rapidly consuming magic power.

Rene's magic capacity is comparable to that of a hotspot in a medium-sized city, but this one is too large.

She is using the full power of the veins in her area of influence to assist her, but it is still not enough.

This magic is barely possible by offering the evil gods the power of the countless sacrifices of demons ...... placed throughout the mountain as Everis and his friends crossed the mountain.

In the end, the three of them concluded their chanting in unison.

”'Devil's Passage'!

As the wands were swung down, the magic circle shone more strongly than ever.

The core of the magic circle was in the center where the three of them stood. A mass of light was born there, and as if a fuse was burning, it rushed straight toward the mountain.

The rushing light exploded at regular intervals, spewing a pale glow into the sky as if it were erupting.

This was the point Everis had carved out for him when he crossed the mountain.

From the foot of the mountain where the magic circle was laid out, the light rushes in a straight line to the south, following the points lined up at almost equal intervals.

In accordance with the program, it crushes the earth as if it were taking root and transmits further commands to the next launching point.

The magic power is sucked up from the veins of the earth flowing through the Ku Lhukaru Mountains.

The corpses of demons that had been sacrificed and piled up in the mountains were drying up. Magic that should not have existed there is poured into the formula as divine grace.

Light runs.

Magic spreads.

The magic propagates, cutting through the massive K'lukar Mountains.

And just as it reaches its final point of activation.

There was a sound that could only be described as an explosion.

The mountain was cut off.

It was as if a super-duper divine knife had been inserted.

Sandwiched between cliffs thousands of meters high on both sides, a narrow path, barely wide enough for one or two people to pass, had been cut through the mountain range.

The soil and rocks that made up the blank space were shattered and blown away, scattered by the wind.

A narrow slit appeared after the wind had blown enough sand to stain it.

This is a form of landform called a ”cut through,” where mountains and cliffs are excavated vertically to create a path for traffic.

Of course, they are not usually large enough to penetrate the mountain ranges.

It was a very small change for the whole of the K'lukaru Mountains, the ”backbone of the earth”, but for this world it was too big.

But for this world, it was too big a change.
