Chapter 290 Strongest Sage, Faces off the Swarm

" . . . This should be fast enough . "

I lowered the lever for acceleration once the magic freight car had gained enough speed .

"Aah, it's not going as fast as the one we rode here . . . This is so much nicer . . . "

Alma looked relieved as she said that .
Looks like the magic freight car we took to get to the research facilities proved to be too much thrill to Alma .

"Yeah . This magic freight car has got to stop before it gets there . . . We'll find the [Broken Star] at the terminus of this line, but the track is probably not intact . I'll stop right before the spot where ancient monsters prowl around, then I'll head off along with Iris from there on . "

Afterward, I check the mana situation with [Passive Detection] .
I'd put the brakes if I sense a monster ahead of the track .

"So me and Alma are to wait on the magic freight car?"

"Ruli, please support us from afar with Augment magic . . . Since there's a Dragon Vein near where [Broken Star] is, you'll have to meddle through Dragon Vein . "

"Dragon Vein . . . Like how I did at Dungeon City?"

Ruli played a support role through Dragon Vein when I was fighting a demon in Dungeon City .
That should serve as a good practice .

"Yeah . Hinder the monsters' movement with your magic through Dragon Vein as medium . . . It'd be much harder than that time, but I'll end this one quick . Bear with it until you can't anymore . . . Alma, protect Ruli . Ancient monsters may be strong, but I'll make it so those you can't beat won't pass through . "

"Gotcha!"

Alma also nodded readily .
Looks like these two have gotten much more courageous than ever, guess fighting all those demons were not for nothing .

◇

After a little while--A sign of monster showed up in my [Passive Detection] .
I immediately tell the three .

"I'm stopping the freight car! Hold on to something!"

I fully lowered the acceleration down, and put up multiple layers of barrier in front of the magic freight car .
The freight car crushed the barriers with a loud sound and decelerated .

"GYAA!"

"I-it's shaking so much!"

The girls tightly held onto the interior enduring the impact as the magic freight car hit the barriers .
And it managed to stop before it reached the monster .

" . . . That huh . "

There's an abnormally gigantic mana reaction three kilometer away from where we are now .

It's emitting mana even though [Suprnatural Art] is not magic .
However, its mana pattern is extremely bizarre, like it's not of this world .
I've never seen something like this before even counting my past life .

"W-what an incredible mana reaction . . . "

"I've never seen this mana reaction before, you could tell even from here . . . "

"This mana feels yucky somehow!"

The girls sounded surprised to see the mana reaction .
Heck, even Iris who usually never noticed mana reaction could sense [Broken Star] power .
Normally, you won't even notice its existence at this distance .

This is the power of [Suprnatural Art]
It's on a whole other dimension than the powers that exist on our planet .

A power this great exists in this universe .
. . . And I need to eventually catch up to these bunch .
The thought alone sounds fun .

"This mana reaction is [Broken Star] . I'll be going now to reach that . "

"T-three kilometers inside this . . . "

Alma murmured so to hear me .

That much distance is nothing if you only need to walk .
However, swarms of monsters are crowding the area around [Broken Star] with nary a gap .
The tunnel that connects to [Broken Star] has been destroyed, the spot slightly ahead of us is gouged out .

All other outbreaks we have seen so far look like normal forests compared to this [Broken Star] surroundings .
It's easy to imagine why Anmorr brothers gave up trying to fetch [Broken Star Flake] after seeing this spectacle .

Even if I ride on Iris dragon form's back and fly in the air, the problem persists .

Though there's not a lot of monsters capable of flights in the current era, that's not the case with ancient monsters .
Even the ground monsters have many ways to shoot at airborne objects .

Rather, the sky above [Broken Star] is the worst danger zone in the whole world right now .
Pushing our way on ground is still a better choice here .

"No choice but to break through the front line . . . Ruli, interfere with the Dragon Vein and spread as many dense movement jamming as you can . Keep at it for just three minutes . "
