Chapter 233 233 Finite Astral Collapse
[OP: ]
In a secluded clearing at the outskirts of the dungeon, Cary, her cute little dragon familiar, prepared to unleash a power that defied the boundaries of the magical realm. The open space around them became a stage for his unique shadow energies as Cary's unique scales shimmered with an ethereal glow.
Positioned amidst ancient symbols of purple and black etched into the ground that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, Cary's eyes glowed like miniature constellations as he commenced the ancient incantation in the original language of the Worldline.
The air in the clearing became charged with a strange tension that the people standing behind him felt clearly, and the runes responded, emanating a soft, pulsating light that mirrored the rhythm of the dragon's words.
He was using his [Dragon tongue] as well, the bloodline skill of all true dragons to make the chanting of ruins easier, however, the power that was being used was so fierce even El was surprised at this spectacle…
-Oooooooong!
As Cary unfolded his wings, revealing strange glyphs that seemed to materialize in the air, the magical aura around the small dragon intensified.
-Sweeeeeeeeeeesh~!
The very atmosphere seemed to vibrate with fear, and the clearing became a nexus of magical forces converging upon Cary's form.
[ "Well, damn. Would you look at this Lucy? My useless bastard wasn't as useless as we had thought." ]
[ "Of course dummy. He is a dragonlord, as well as a Supernova. He is one of the first beings to have come into existence so, of course, he wasn't as useless as you might have thought him to be.
He is utterly useless in the kitchen, that much is a fact. But otherwise, he could be pretty useful." ]]
He wasn't doing it intentionally, however, the very space around them was shivering as if in fear as he was calling out his skill. Something one does not see often in this Worldline.
Even the higher beings watching them were all stunned at the moment.
[ "Well, my useless Cary is quite something, alright. And that thing, it's a properly degraded Divine skill." ]
They did not know this single unique skill that he possessed would turn out to be a Divine skill, one of the highest grades of skills that were considered to be even more powerful than the [Grade-4] celestial skills.
-Ooooooooooooong!
Few beings in the Worldline possessed these skills, mostly the higher grade beings like the archangels and demon lords, or the true gods that have sultanates their divinity to a certain extent.
Only they could handle a divine skill that they themselves had gained after their life's worth of efforts and sacrifices.
In its true form, these divine skills could even tear apart words or cause miracles that are impossible to describe, or sustain a dying world in the rarest of its cases.
They are special powers, and, even though the one he was using right was degraded to the lowest state possible, this skill was unfathomably powerful on its own.
[ "He's cool." ]
-Oooooooooong…!
With a final, resonant incantation, Cary released the culmination of his magical might.
-Zaaaaaaa…!
An iridescent wave radiated outward, tearing through the boundary of the dungeon like a cosmic ripple.
-Oooooooooooo…!
The air crackled with the sheer force of the unleashed power, and the surroundings quivered in response.
-Ktktktktkt…
-Trrrrrrr…
[ "He did it." ]
[ "I said so. He's cool." ]
At the outskirts of the dungeon, the once-sturdy boundary yielded to Cary's command.
A portion of the system's restrictive wall crumbled away, revealing a glimpse into the bright, green, and fresh scenery beyond.
"The world of beauty and abundance, Bhat… we did it."
"It's almost over now."
The tear that had appeared before them glowed with an otherworldly radiance, and the clearing itself seemed to echo with the whispers of a unique energy that was different from this demon-corrupted land.
Beyond this newly created gateway was the world the family of four used to be from, the world where those with holy powers ruled, divinities roasted the lands and resided among the mortals, a land far different from the world the two of them belonged to, a place they weren't yet ready to visit.
However, the gate was created. Which meant their dungeon run this time had come to a conclusion.
[Ding!]
Amidst the aftermath, Cary floated, triumphant yet visibly fatigued. Using a divine skill of that scale that challenged the fabric of reality itself took a great toll on his small body, and, he was almost about to fall to the ground… however, his great master caught him before that happened.
"Good work little one. You are cool."
[[ Of course I am cool, stupid master. Haaa… but that was unexpectedly tiring.
I used to use that skill without any effort back in the day and it could even destroy an entire world if I wanted.
But now… just using this lowly version of it is so difficult…
Master, look… I have become a little weaker. ]]
"Nah~. You are pretty strong, baby~. Here's a kissy as your reward for the splendid work. Umha~!"
He had created a crack that was just the right size as they wanted, nothing too small, nothing too big.
It was just the perfect size, and, creating something so precise with that powerful of a skill just showed how much control he possessed over his powers.
He was good, and thanks to them, they had cleared this dungeon.
[Warning! Warning!]
[It has been detected that a part of the dungeon has been artificially destroyed!]
[A dungeon error has occurred!]
[Calculating data to find the cause and the solution of the error…]
The two of them looked at the family of four who were all still looking at Cary with a stunned, tearful expression as if they had witnessed the blessing of their god themselves.
The emotions they were showing at the moment were all understandable to the two of them, they had expected this kind of reaction from them as soon as they realized Cary's skill was, in fact, a divine skill instead of just some very good max-level celestial skill.
[Ding!]
[Calculation has been made.]
[It has been judged that the artificial destruction was an intentional action of the challengers who had successfully cleared all the given tasks beyond the perfect completion rate.]
[The dungeon has been cleared with an unexpected result and achievements that are unfathomable for the voice of the world. Requesting support from the Worldline.]
[ "It is over, so we should go back to our world for now. We still need time to prepare to go to your world and it would be better for you to make a complete recovery before you go there as well." ]
[ "We are eternally grateful for everything you have done for us." ]
[ "Haha, it is nothing. And it's not like we are doing this without expecting anything in return, right?" ]
[ "Hahaha, of course, of course. I will make sure to compensate you as best as I can." ]
[< Worldline has evaluated the situation and has judged the situation to be pretty simple. Worldline has denied support. >]
"Pffft. She must be furious right now, lol."
"It would obviously hurt anyone's ego if their superior tells them the difficult situation that they couldn't wrap their heads around isn't anything special.
This is just a part of the process, I would say.
She should learn the difficult things when she has the chance.
Worldline has already assisted her enough when we caused troubles in the past."
Their dungeon run was over, however, now it was time for the reward calculation and the very being that was supposed to calculate the achievements couldn't understand how to interpret our achievements.
[The reward calculation will be delayed…]
Which means they will have to just stay still and wait until that being was done… or, help them a little.
[ "Shall we start then?" ]
[ "Whenever you are ready malady." ]
The voice of the world was an entity akin to an administrator.
It was called a voice since it was quite literally just a voice for all the 'normal' beings within this world, however, few like the two of them knew the truth that this voice also had a physical form that resided at the center of their world.
They were an entity created by the Worldline or sometimes the creations of the Worldline, so, they were just below the Worldline and its offsprings.
They held great authority within their world, however, their existence was restricted to their own worlds. The two of them knew this better than anyone else.
As well as the fact that the voices of the world were complete omniscient beings that knew everything going on 'in their worlds'.
"Umm, Lucy? Do you know there is a simple solution to this issue?"
"Well, yeah. I do have a little idea, but, what do you think, El? What's your opinion?"
"Hehe, I think everything will be simple if they just ignore the fact that the error that occurred was above the correction baseline and keep this gate as is.
The rewards can just be calculated as us clearing the dungeon perfectly and, in addition to that, creating a 'door' that connects to the otherworld.
And, since this is a permanent dimensional dungeon anyway, we will obtain the rights to have this dungeon, so, this entire place would become an exclusive territory.
Isn't this simple?
Why go over with the big, long, boring calculations and stuff?"
They were good with their words and in this particular situation, quite convincing as well.
[Ding!]
It didn't take long for the new notifications to arrive after they had suggested those things to the world that was still listening to them, however, there was one strange thing among the notifications that had arrived for them.
[[ Ummm… master? Is this what one thinks this is? ]]
"Seems like it…"
And, it was strange enough to even steal Anna's attention from her interesting dimensional fragment…
