Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

"Well, let's get to Lois. ...... What are you doing?"

The Dragon King looks a little irritated. I take one look at him and quickly look away.

Now I am cutting down a tree with my wind magic. The wind, sharpened like a blade, cuts down a tree and removes the branches from it. Then I shave it cleanly, shaping it. Wind magic works in my hands and is quite easy to use, as long as I have a good image of it.

Tsune watches me with a stunned look on his face. The Dragon King, on the other hand, is completely furious. I can understand what he is trying to say, but I dare to ignore it.

"So much for ......."

As I muttered this, I held a thick stick in my hand. I thrust it vigorously into the ground.

"At least, that's my apology. It's too pathetic as it is."

With that, I got down on one knee.

"What the hell are you doing?

The Dragon King spoke to me in an angry voice, as if he could not control his anger.

"I'm building a tomb, you know."

"Tomb ......?"

"Yeah. The Shoals Tomb."

With that I slowly put my hands together and chant the Heart Sutra in a low voice.

"...... what are you saying?"

Tsune finally opened his mouth. As expected, he did not understand the sutra.

"It's like a ...... spell to make sure you can go to the other world. The next time you are reborn, be happier ......."

Tsune looked as if he understood or not, but then he seemed to shout and lay down on his stomach. Somehow, I guessed that he himself was trying to make a memorial service for his brother.

"I'll have to go back and make a grave for Tacha next time," he said.

Tsune remained silent at my words.

"Now that you mention it. I have something to tell you.

Suddenly, the Dragon King opened his mouth. What a tactless fellow to be remembering the dead black dragons. He looks at me with a grin on his face.

"While we're at it, I'll put up some of those wards you're so good at. Otherwise, you'll never get to Lois. Rejoice, I commend you."

"Huh?　I'm not sure I understand what you mean?"

The Dragon King gave me a wry smile.

I was so surprised.

"......"

At that time, Royce sensed that his two brothers had disappeared. Perhaps they had been knocked down. But he did not want to think that the space he had created had been destroyed.

Royce was absolutely confident in his spatial magic. There was no one who could break it. Perhaps it would be impossible to even find it. The space he had given to his brothers this time was one of his most carefully crafted and confident creations.

"Lured, huh?"

While searching for the presence of his brothers, Royce sensed the presence of the Dragon King, his brother Tsune, and Rinos.

No way, my brother is .......

Royce mutters to himself. According to his original plan, his brother Tsune should have been defeated by the Dragon King or Rinos. But now, he is working with the Dragon King and Rinos. This was something far beyond his expectations.

Or is he being dragged around by force?

They are forcing him to tell them where Lois and his brothers are. ....... It wasn't out of the realm of possibility. But he does not know where they are. It is highly unlikely. If that is the case, then .......

"My brother betrayed you. ......

In the space he has created, Royce mutters to no one in particular and smiles wryly. I don't know what he was told or how he was told, but that explains why he is working together with the Dragon King and others.

...... wait?　...... No, let's not.

A good idea flashed through Royce's mind for a moment, but he quickly dismissed it.

For a moment he thought about attacking the house of Rinos. The Dragon King, Rinos, and Tsune are working together. Moreover, they have gone to his brothers' place. That means the house is deserted. This is the best chance to eat the girl who controls the Dragon King.

But if those three are in cahoots, I have a doubt in my mind that they would make such a foolish plan. It could be that they are setting up some kind of trap.

...... may be a diversionary tactic.

Using the girl as a decoy to lure him ....... It is not inconceivable. In fact, it is quite conceivable that the Dragon King would do something like that. It would be good if we could catch her efficiently, but if we make even the slightest error, there is a risk that the Dragon King will catch her. I am confident that I can escape if I escape into the space, but I can't make it very quickly. Lois had come to the conclusion that she should not go to attack the girl now.

"Don't panic. They can't get here by mistake. Even if they do, they can't destroy my space, even if they are the Dragon King. ......

He mutters with a wry smile again. Nevertheless, a touch of uneasiness rises in his heart as he wonders how his two younger brothers were defeated. ...... No way, was his space destroyed?　The thought flashed through my mind again, but I could not believe that my space, which even the Dragon King could not break, could be destroyed.

Royce was a rare dragon who was born with the ability to manipulate spatial magic. He himself loved spatial magic and used it as a toy. Such spatial magic had saved Royce and his brothers many times.

First, when they decided to leave the Black Dragon clan, this spatial magic helped them to prolong their lives. By hiding in the space, the brothers were able to get past the Black Dragons who were chasing after them. Moreover, when they had to fight against the Dragon King who did not allow them to leave, Royce's spatial magic saved them.

He hid the wounded brothers in the space and continued to heal their wounds after they ate the Dragon King's powerful and unparalleled attacks. The battle against the Dragon King therefore became a long and sleepless one, and everyone was pushed to the very edge, but they finally succeeded in escaping from his pursuit, and were able to successfully secede from the clan.

Many years have passed since then, but I do not believe that the Dragon King has mastered spatial magic. Magic......, especially when it comes to spatial magic, is a matter of innate talent. I have never seen anyone who can manipulate space as freely as I can.

Spatial magic is effective from level 4 and up. Below that level, at most, it is possible to create a space that can store something, like "infinite storage", but the creator of the space cannot enter into it. Incidentally, the infinite storage lent to Rinos by Mrs. Bertham when he was a slave was created by LV2 spatial magic. It is a leather bag that can be found anywhere in the world, but it has a magically created space in which things can be stuffed.

When the level reaches LV4 or higher, the creator himself can enter the space. In addition, the contents of the bag will have the advantage that it will not be affected by presence detection and magic detection. Furthermore, at LV5, it can be used simultaneously with other magic, in other words, it can be given a magical effect. Therefore, if a person can manipulate recovery magic, it is possible to give the effect that wounds are healed as soon as they enter the space.

However, since it consumes a huge amount of magical power to do so, Royce himself could not abuse the LV5 spatial magic without hesitation.

......Well, never mind. As long as I'm here, I can't lose. I'll just sit tight and wait for the right moment.

Lois slowly closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep. .......
