Domain Magic

My name is Heiterge, and I am an ordinary soldier in the Demon King's Army.

The nights on the Northern Plateau are very cold, much colder than in the Central Countries.

It's strange, really. Even though it's summer, the night wind feels like a knife, cutting right into your bones.

The [Hero of the South] said that this is because the Northern Plateau is at a higher altitude, and the temperature decreases with altitude.

There are many other reasons, but I didn't understand them.

I am just an ordinary soldier, and I don't understand these complex and profound concepts.

"Heiterge, you must remember your name."

This is a sentence that Lord [Hero of the South] specifically sought out and said to me before continuing his journey north.

I didn't quite understand, but I silently kept those words in my heart.

Until that day.

My team received a mission.

Eliminate the remaining Demons near a certain city.

I have carried out this kind of mission many times since I came to the Northern Plateau.

After all, even though the heroes are powerful, it is impossible for them to completely eliminate all the Demons in a certain region.

At this point, we need to conduct a thorough search to eliminate the Demons.

However, the previous ones were all villages, but this one is a city.

The size of the team also changed from a squad to a legion of hundreds of people.

Upon arriving in the city, we methodically began clearing out the remaining Demons in the surrounding area.

They encountered Demons army led by the [Corrupt Sage] Qual.

[The Corrupt Sage] Qual.

The originator of [Man-Killing Magic].

Each time the pale beam of Mana appears, it takes the life of one of their companions.

I was terrified, but I still rushed forward.

Because I am a soldier.

Qual didn't even glance at me, continuing to cast his [Man-Killing Magic] as if nothing had happened.

A sudden, inexplicable force struck me, and I lay back down on the ground where I had been before.

I tried to stand up, but my body wouldn't obey me.

After an unknown amount of time, the roaring stopped.

My last vestige of consciousness told me that our punitive expedition, consisting of several hundred people, was finished.

It's over in the literal sense.

I don't blame the hero who was in charge of clearing out the Demons along the way.

No one could have imagined that Qual, known as the "Corrupt Sage," would appear here.

I just feel a little resentful.

That's all.

Tell me your name.

A calm voice suddenly rang out.

I looked in the direction the sound came from, and there stood a person.

A young man dressed in strange clothes, standing on empty air.

"Heiterge."

I replied instinctively.

I feel like I've forgotten a lot of things.

However, I still remember my name.

In the canyon.

Rienta had barely finished speaking.

Nearly ten Magic Array Patterns appeared in the void around him.

The swords scattered throughout the canyon became Anchor, connecting with the largest Magic Array Pattern at the foot of the Rienta.

Countless pale blue streaks of light spread out.

Inside the canyon, the black flames were gradually covered by a pale blue glow.

At this moment, the massive Barrier Magic above the canyon also began to shimmer with light.

But Rienta didn't notice this anomaly.

Of everyone in the canyon, only Frieren, who was analyzing the Magic Array Pattern, noticed it.

Frieren didn't stop analyzing; she just stared at Rienta's back as she fell into deep thought.

Blood as strong as steel, heart as fragile as glass.

He has fought countless battles and never been defeated.

"Although we were not defeated."

"Yet they are not understood."

"He often stood alone atop Sword Hill, reveling in victory."

Therefore, his life was meaningless.

"His body is destined to be formed from the Infinite Sword!"

As the chanting ended.

Rienta and Heiterge, one human and one demon, disappeared into the canyon.

"Huh? Where's Rienta?" Stark exclaimed.

However, Frieren and Fern were not available to answer this question at the moment.

Simply because...

The black flames that once filled the canyon and the massive Magic Array Pattern above it also disappeared along with the Rienta.

Fern could understand the previous onslaught of swords and spears.

After all, Lady Frieren has already made it very clear.

But what's the situation now?

After a moment's hesitation, Fern asked softly, "Lady Frieren, Rienta...?"

Frieren looked at the sky above the canyon with some disappointment and sighed.

"It's alright, don't worry."

"It should be Rienta's [Domain Magic]."

As her mentor, Frieren immediately recognized the purpose of the Magic Array Patterns surrounding Rienta.

The effect of creating a domain is achieved by layering and releasing multiple spells.

It's like how magic is greatly amplified in Kanne in an environment with abundant rain and water.

Whether it's the swords that serve as Anchors, the Magic Array Pattern that connect the swords, or the incomprehensible incantation.

All of this was within Frieren's expectations.

After all, Rienta had asked her many times about [Barrier Magic] and [sealing magic].

She was also very interested in developing [Domain Magic].

Therefore, I have communicated and exchanged ideas with Rienta many times.

However, Rienta is now gone.

According to the setting of [Domain Magic], at this time, a barrier should appear, with swords as Anchor, connecting Magic Array Pattern to form a Barrier with effects such as sealing, suppression, and enhancement.

'It must be because of that [Barrier Magic] in the sky.'

During Rienta's incantation, the [Barrier Magic] exhibited an unusual activity.

The way they looked was as if they were cooperating with Rienta to unleash [Domain Magic].

Within [Domain Magic].

The Health Bar and White Bar bars above Heiterge's head disappeared, and the black flames in his eyes transformed into vertical pupils.

It sounded like the voices of several people overlapping.

"Where... is this place?"

Rienta shifted her gaze away from the Magic Array Pattern that shouldn't have been in the sky.

He glanced at Heiterge's empty head and said calmly:

"This is my world."

Heiterge looked around and his heart sank.

Just now, while it was standing there in a daze, it had already reached a consensus with the 'Demon Xiao Long' and shared the information they each knew.

Of course, it was mainly 'Demon Xiao Long' that was talking, and it was listening.

After all, it has only just begun to recover.

The Shendu was somewhat helpless; it couldn't understand it.

Why is it that after finally escaping hell, I have to face this kind of opponent right after I get out?

Heiterge remained expressionless, chuckled softly, and said, "An interesting compound magic."

"Young people..."

Heiterge stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence.

Rienta didn't know why Heiterge had stopped, but that didn't matter.

His mind was now connected to all the swords and blades within the entire domain.

The moment he has a thought, Heiterge will turn into minced meat.

Just then, Heiterge spoke up again.

"Who are you? Did the [Hero of the South] send you?"
