This weapon, which seemed to have completely opposite attributes compared to 『Muspelm』, was an average 《Mythology》 grade, named 『Kakura』. The reason why it had a black appearance was because most of it was made of adamantine. There was a little amount of orichalcum in its core, and mithril was used for the Sanskrit characters; as a result, it could deal with the opponent’s magical and physical attacks.
“Even though I thought that you were no ordinary person, when you concealed such a thing…”
“I went through many hardships to obtain it, so please keep it a secret if possible.”
Shin confirmed his senses by taking a swing of 『Kakura』, which was enveloped by a red aura.
By contrast with its thin appearance, because the material was adamantine, its weight was as heavy as Rionne’s 『Muspelm』. The gust of wind conveyed the weight of a single swing.
“I just wanted to ask one thing, where do the Sacred Place investigation teams enter? I have a feeling that they exit over there.”
“Among the gates are four cardinal directions, they enter through the southern gate; of course, it won’t be so easy to pass by.”
“Is it difficult to climb the surrounding walls?”
“Ah, there was one person who tried it once. It’s fine to do it from the outside, but when you try from the inside, monsters seem to only target you. Evasion is also difficult once noticed.”
From the place where Shin and Rionne were, walls that surrounded Kalkia were seen.
Even if one climbed the wall which, by the way, was higher than Bayreuth’s, and did so without any hindrances, it would probably still take a considerable amount of time.
It would take even more time while on the lookout for monsters.
(But if I get serious, it’s possible to do it…)
Though Shin could do it, his ability may be known to Rionne, and it was a simple matter to escape for the two people.
The technique of combining martial arts and magic skills to run up the wall quickly was a relatively popular technique in a battle between players. If he forcibly used the technique little by little, he may be able to do it with just either one of the skills alone. However, according to what he heard from Rionne’s story, that technique must have been lost too.
“Well then, Shin, let’s advance cautiously.”
“Yes.”
The two people moved toward the south gate while observing their surroundings for presences.
Because Kalkia was a city from the game era, Shin thought he could restore the map; however, against his expectations, when he tried there were no significant changes. Still, the map seemed to have been drawn from scratch again.
While watching the presences of monsters, they moved along and jumped onto a roof, and Shin felt his view was distorted.
“What?”
Shin found himself standing on the ground before he knew it.
He intended to jump onto the roof above, but the sensation that transmitted to his feet certainly came through the ground.
“Shin, you felt the same thing too?”
When Shin turned around, Rionne stood there with a similar perplexed expression.
“Wait a minute. Let me try it again just to make sure.”
Saying so, Shin kicked-off the ground a little stronger.
As usual, he only put enough strength so that he could just jump over the roof of the building. However, nothing happened.
“Is this a transition point?”
It was possible to jump to a certain extent. However, when one reached above the height of a certain level, the body that should be jumping up landed on the ground.
“Rionne-sama, how did I look to you?”
For confirmation, Shin asked Rionne.
“You certainly jumped, there’s no doubt about it. However, there, when you reached the height just above the roof of the 1st floor, your figure, which should have been heading up, disappeared, and you appeared on the ground in the next moment.”
While Rionne pointed at the roof of a certain building in front of Shin, she explained how she saw him.
“I see…If we assume that that will happen every time we try to ascend above a certain height, it means that it is blocked.”
Shin concluded.
“This is the first time I’ve seen such a phenomenon. Shin, do you know anything?”
“I think that I have some idea of what’s going on. Can we move continue along the road as is to confirm my hypothesis?”
“I don’t mind, so I’ll leave it to you.”
Shin moved through the readjusted boundary of the main street.
In the middle of the street, they finally stopped in front of a narrow alley that could barely fit two people.
“Rionne-sama, I will enter the alleyway now, please wait here.”
“Okay.”
After saying a few words to Rionne, Shin walked into the alley.
In the following moment, when Shin’s whole body entered the passage, his vision became distorted, and a different scene of the alley came into view.
In Rionne’s eyes, just like what happened to Shin a while ago, Shin seemed to return from the alley unnaturally.
“What on earth is this…?”
Rionne looked at Shin with a puzzled expression.
Although it happened in front of her eyes, she seemingly c
