Souta actually wanted to walk on land but it seems that there was something interesting that was happening right now in this world. This was his vacation so he should enjoy this as much as he could. Yet, it feels like his vacation was that horrible experience that made him numb to death.
He was getting numb. He didn't want to lose his emotion. After all, if he couldn't find anything fun in this world then what's the point of living? He wanted to fight and experience the thrill once again.
Souta stretched out his hands and grabbed the space in front of him. He used the space to travel faster than before. The [Void Entanglement] was a passive skill and one of its properties gives him a high perception of the fabric of space.
Ohm!!
He was grabbing the space without even damaging it.
In just a second, Souta traveled hundreds of thousands of kilometers. Heimer, Baldur, and Princess Dreimi experience something that they've never experienced before.
Whoosh!!
Before they could even process what was going on, they arrived at the battlefield. They landed on the ground and they started puking all over the place.
That was too much for them.
Their stomach couldn't handle that speed.
"We're here..." Eilish arrived as she observed the surrounding.
Everything was chaotic. The radiation of energy in the air could kill low level creatures. It was distorting all sorts of phenomena.
A big battle has definitely occurred here.
There's no doubt.
Judging from the fluctuations of energy alone, the experts were stronger than her.
Eilish took a deep breath before she snapped her finger.
Ohm!
A barrier appeared and covered Heimer, Baldur, and Princess Dreimi.
"This will protect you for the time being. Just don't go to places with high energy fluctuations. The experts that caused this is stronger than me." Eilish warned the three sternly.
The three nodded at her words.
"We've arrived at the border..." Souta paused as he glanced at the three who were gasping for air before he asked, "But what country is this?"
Baldur and Heimer observed their surroundings. After a few seconds, they glanced at each other as they reached a tacit understanding.
"If I'm not wrong this place is the border of Sydfri Kingdom. One of the most powerful countries in the continent. Although the appearance had changed because of the destruction, I'm sure that this is Sydri Kingdom." Baldur explained.
"What?!" Princess Dreimi was shocked.
The Sydfri Kingdom was no ordinary country at all. It possessed a powerful military that could stand at the of the world.
"Don't tell me the Dawn Break Tower...!!" Princess Dreimi said.
Heimer glanced at her and shook his head. "I don't think so, Dawn Break Tower is powerful but they will not be able to demolish the border of Sydfri Kingdom in a short amount of time that we're gone."
It wasn't a secret that Dawn Break Tower was expanding its territories. It even tried to fight the Sydfri Kingdom yet their battle led to a stalemate. Both of them just lost their forces in the battle.
Baldur and Heimer's positions were high so they knew a lot of things about other countries. They knew it better than normal people.
"Lady Eilish said that the one who did this is stronger than her... Dawn Break Tower didn't have an expert as strong as Lady Eilish." Heimer said grimly.
Souta rubbed his chin. He knew that Heimer was correct. There was no way that this mid-level world could produce a top-notch expert that was stronger than Eilish. A Three Shackles expert was a huge problem but...
He was sensing something else. There were several hints of higher power in the atmosphere. There were Four Shackles experts present in this situation.
Someone that broke a great shackle was too much for this world.
"Sydfri Kingdom? Is that the country that you mention to me that summoned a hero from another world?" Souta asked.
"Yes, Your Grace, Sydfri Kingdom had a strange ritual where they are able to summon a being from another world. I don't know the details since only the upper echelons of the country knew it." Baldur said.
"Is it similar to the portal that I've used to arrive in this world?" Souta asked.
"Probably not, they said that the two parties have to form a contract that they have to fulfill to each other. Of course, they could forcefully summon weak heroes. Aside from that, I don't know anything else." Baldur said.
Saya said, 'It's probably similar to a demon ritual.'
"Oh, now that you mention it... It sounds similar and different at the same time." Souta nodded. He smiled and said, "I want to meet that so-called hero but it seems that I wouldn't be able to do it."
"Why?" Princess Dreimi asked curiously.
"Well, the hero will not probably be able to handle the level of the experts that are attacking this kingdom," Souta explained.
Hmm...?
Souta turned his head looking in a certain direction.
"What is it, Souta?" Eilish asked. She followed his line of sight and didn't find anything.
The three were confused about why Souta was looking in that direction. They didn't ask since they knew that their senses couldn't be compared to the Messenger of God.
After a few seconds, a group of people appeared in their vision.
"They are..." Eilish was a little bit surprised.
The group of people arrived close to them. They were wearing armor and armed with sharp weapons.
"You guys are then..." Souta paused as he turned his head to look in the direction where the intense fluctuation was coming from. "Then who's the one causing all of this?"
The people who arrived were warriors of Athen's Champion. Souta and Eilish recognized them from the emblem on their armor.
"Grain Leader Souta!!"
They saluted to him first before they explained their appearance here. They told him that the instrument used to sense the sub-worlds under Athen's Champion detected foreign creatures forcefully entering the atmosphere of Planet Plunyx.
The headquarters dispatched them to support Grain Leader Souta in investigating the foreign creatures. But as soon as they arrived on this planet, the land was already in shambles. Various countries had fell including the powerhouses of this continent.
The warriors realized that the foreign creatures were hostile. They went around to find him while supporting the other countries that fell. The entire continent was engulfed in chaos in just a short amount of time.
Right now, the enemies were targeting the Sydfri Kingdom.
There was nothing they could do in stopping the enemies. All of them were just One and Two Shackles. Their role was to support him. After all, the higher-ups were convinced that Souta's strength was enough to combat the enemies. He just needed a little bit of support.
Souta nodded after he listened to their explanation. He glanced at them. There were ten warriors and the leader was a Three Shackles expert while the rest were One and Two Shackles.
"But who's the one fighting the enemies?" Souta asked.
"That... That's the hero that Sydfri Kingdom summoned. We're also surprised when we found out about this." The warriors answered.
"Hero...?" Souta narrowed his eyes.
From his knowledge, the strongest person on this planet was on the other continent, the land on the other side of the Devil Sea. That person was only at Three Shackles. The rest of the top tier was just Two Shackles. Even so, Souta was sure that Eilish was a little bit stronger than them. Perhaps, they could beat her if they fought in two on one but Eilish would win in a one-on-one battle.
So... The hero could fight a Four Shackles expert?
How?
Souta felt like he needed to watch the battle with his own eyes to believe it.
"Grain Leader Souta, the higher-ups lend us an artifact to support you." The warriors said.
"Hmm..." Souta nodded.
"They said that if you fought Four Shackles experts, this land will not be able to handle the consequences. It would receive great damage. I'm sure you can feel it already. The space is already distorted in this land." The captain of the warriors explained. He continued, "The artifact will create a powerful dome that will cover you and our enemies. It will protect this land from receiving further damage but the barrier will only last for thirty minutes."
"I see..." Souta nodded as he understand what the higher-ups wanted. "Sigh... They knew that I have enough strength to defeat the enemies. They are just worried about the state of this planet when the battle was over so they sent these warriors to set up a battlefield for me."
The three were shocked inwardly. They just heard a big piece of news. They didn't expect that the entire continent was in chaos at this moment. They just thought that it was a battle between two countries but it seems that the problem was bigger than they imagined.
"Let's go, I want to see how this so-called hero holding the enemies," Souta said.
