"Entrod..."
"Here, at the Torrential Court, have I really returned?"
After several days, it was still night in Entrod.
A figure erged from the gray vortex of the Mirroring Dream, looking around in disbelief.
That figure was naturally Edward.
Luduo, who had been in charge for the past few years, had indeed envisioned returning to this world, but he never treated the idea as a reality that would genuinely occur.
But now,
Edward was back, standing firmly on the land he had left years ago, a place he had lost hope of ever seeing again.
Swoosh—
As Edward looked around, the Mirroring Dream behind him stirred once more.
Turning around, he saw a disoriented Torrex erging, the Caster who lost his balance and fell to the ground.
"Careful!"
Edward instinctively stepped forward to support Torrex.
But he soon shook his head with a wry smile, "Ah, it seems returning doesn't change anything…"
Torrex was in dire condition.
The effects of the Naless Sea on humans were permanent.
Even having left that world, this forr administrator of Entrod could not revert to his original state and could only maintain his life in this manner.
Swoosh—
The gray vortex distorted again.
But after Edward and Torrex had returned, Ronald, the last mber to act as rearguard, finally appeared.
Monts ago in the Naless Sea, he had just killed the progeny of the deity, and he looked no different than before, except for a striking lantern in his hand, the bottom of which was connected to two rivets.
With just this lantern, the dim basent was filled with light.
However, Ronald did not focus on the two n at this ti; upon his return to this world, he first turned his attention to the corner of the warehouse.
At that location, where nothing had been when Ronald had entered the Mirroring Dream, a well-made four-legged high-back chair now stood.
Whoosh—
At that mont, a breeze blew through the basent.
The spell masking visibility was cancelled, revealing Costate, who had been sitting there waiting.
"Sir, welco back," he stood up and bowed.
"It's really you..."
Ronald smiled faintly at the maid, then turned to look behind at the Mirroring Dream before casually asking,
"Since you found this place, why didn't you co in after ?"
Costate's tone was calm,
"Sir, I believe in your ability to solve any problem. And abroad, the only known Mirroring Dream is the one here in Entrod. I had to ensure it was not tampered with by any malicious parties before your return."
"Mmh..."
Costate's explanation was very sensible.
Ronald nodded in appreciation, then also instructed the other two n,
"Edward, take Torrex and move back."
"I'm going to destroy the Mirroring Dream right now."
As he spoke, Ronald also raised the lantern he held in his hand.
Seeing Ronald's movents, a look of disbelief and reluctance naturally appeared in Edward's eyes. However, glancing around at Costate, who had just appeared mysteriously and whom they hadn't noticed before, and Ronald, who had swiftly killed the deity's progeny in the Naless Sea not long before,
The man shook his head and obediently took Torrex to the back.
…
For Ronald, the task at hand was much simpler.
He lifted the lantern, his newly acquired dominion allowing him to feel the frequency of the fla clearly.
rely by lifting the lantern, a rule-defying fla split off and gently touched the surface of the Mirroring Dream.
```
Sss—
Ronald's exceptional vision saw everything clearly.
Where the flas touched the Ring of Dreams mirror, the tal base of the mirror instantly turned red, softened, and then began to glow brightly. Soon after, the gray vortex on the mirror's surface also started to interact with the flas, with the brightness changing dozens of tis faster than the transformation speed of the base tal!
—What would such intense reactions lead to?
By common sense,
it was basically... an explosion!
"Costate!"
Boom—
Ronald only had ti to shout Costate's na.
The next mont, the Ring of Dreams mirror, quietly placed in front of everyone, had its grey vortex surface rapidly change color as it was illuminated, spreading like a lit fuse.
Then, the brightness on the surface of the Ring of Dreams mirror beca blinding.
Ronald could even feel the heat contained within it about to burst.
Boom!
As expected.
The anticipated explosion arrived on schedule.
The entire underground chamber was instantly destroyed by the violent impact, the items originally placed there were crushed into pieces in the corners, while the rest of the space was completely covered by shockwaves and blinding light.
And all of this.
Actually occurred in less than two seconds.
Of course, Ronald was fine.
Protected by a spell, he ignored all the damage and even turned back to look behind.
Costate's abilities were as reliable as ever.
Although Ronald had only shouted the maid's na in a mont of urgency, Costate had imdiately grasped the aning and managed to protect Edward and Torrex in the nick of ti.
…
Thud—
Just when everything seed fine.
A sound like a cannon explosion erged above their heads.
Normally, the force of an underground explosion would spread to all surrounding areas, but not this ti.
As an underground chamber, the warehouse where Ronald and the others were had a tunnel leading to the ground surface, which provided the shockwave a very convenient direction to pour out.
The next second, the airflow in the underground chamber changed drastically due to this event.
The chaotic airflow mixed with various debris violently swirled into a vortex, like a tornado.
Ronald struggled to discern the situation...
Directly above their heads, it seed like the explosion had already caused significant problems.
…
The explosion and blinding light ultimately wouldn't last very long.
As a pouring-energy-type explosion, the airflow brought by the shockwave soon disappeared in the underground chamber, only the heat remained lingering there, sustaining a furnace-like environnt in the basent.
This was no place for humans.
Looking around, Ronald naturally walked towards his companions behind him:
"Everyone, let lead us out first…"
Clatter—
Suddenly, a faint noise appeared above Ronald's head.
Then from the already shattered 'hole', R'lyeh was the first to jump down.
His gaze imdiately locked onto Torrex:
"You guys... have returned? Torrex!"
At that mont, Edward also pointed at R'lyeh, exclaiming in surprise:
"R'lyeh, how are you still alive?"
"Hasn't Entrode already ended!"
