"Transcontinental transfer? I recognize every single word you say, but why can't I understand anything when they're put together?" Paul looked completely bewildered.
"What's so hard to understand? It's just what it says." Eris shrugged, looking completely matter-of-fact.
"It's not hard to understand." Rujierd nodded.
"Magic capable of traversing continents has always existed in this world, so it's not incomprehensible that similar artifacts appeared in ancient times."
"Come on! This is such an outrageous thing, why are you all so calm and collected?" Paul couldn't help but complain.
"Because we're all used to it," Rujierd replied calmly.
"You're... used to it...?"
Paul's lips twitched slightly.
How much has my son grown up over the past few years?
So even something capable of crossing continents is no longer considered a novelty in their eyes?
" Rudeus, can you tell me what abilities you, as the Son of God, possess?" Paul couldn't help but ask.
Rudeus pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke:
"I can predict the future."
His voice wasn't loud, but it gradually made everyone's expressions serious.
"The world is being shrouded in a massive conspiracy, and my purpose is to prevent that catastrophe from happening."
"As for my abilities... they truly awakened around the age of ten. It was from that time that I gradually came to know all of this."
Paul stared blankly at his son, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
"So... that's how it is..."
His voice trembled slightly.
"Saving the world... My son has been burdened with such a mission all this time..."
At this point, Paul could no longer control his emotions; his eyes reddened, and tears slowly slid down his cheeks.
"I really..."
Before he could finish speaking, he choked up.
Seeing this, Lilia walked to his side, put a hand on his shoulder, and patted him gently, as if to comfort him silently.
Rudeus, however, did not allow this emotion to fester.
"No need for further words. Let's set off immediately."
His expression was solemn.
"Every second of delay could lead to unforeseen circumstances."
After saying that, Rudeus turned around and prepared to leave with everyone.
"Wait a moment, Master Rudeus."
Lilia quickly spoke up.
What about Aisha and Norn?
"Oh, God! I want to go too!"
Aisha immediately raised her hand and shouted.
" Aisha, this is the one thing you can't do impulsively. Listen to me."
Lilia crouched down and patiently persuaded her.
"Don't want!"
Aisha didn't listen at all; she rushed to Rudeus's side and hugged his legs tightly with open arms.
"Brother! I want to go too!"
Rudeus looked down at Aisha, who was hugging him tightly, and couldn't help but chuckle.
" Aisha is definitely going with us, and so is Norn."
He raised his head and looked at the crowd.
"Because for them, only by staying by my side are they truly safe."
"Are you sure it's okay?"
Paul was still somewhat uneasy.
"Trust me, Father."
Rudeus spoke with firmness.
"I would never joke about my family's lives."
After he finished speaking, his gaze fell on Norn in Paul's arms, and the seriousness on his face softened a little.
" Norn -chan, you haven't forgotten your brother, have you?"
Rudeus smiled and extended his hand.
"Do you want to go with your brother to find Mom?"
"Um!"
Norn nodded vigorously.
"Although I don't remember much, my brother was the best person ever."
"Hahaha..."
Rudeus laughed immediately.
"Then, can I have a hug from your brother?"
Norn did not answer, but simply opened his arms and reached out to Rudeus.
Rudeus picked her up.
Norn wrapped her little arms around his neck and nestled obediently in his arms.
Seeing this, Aisha could no longer stand still and immediately rushed forward.
"Onii-chan! I want a hug too!"
"Haha, okay, okay, okay."
Rudeus smiled helplessly and then pulled Aisha into his arms as well.
Lilia stood to the side, watching this scene with satisfaction.
"That's nice... just like before."
Rudeus glanced at his two younger sisters in his arms, then looked up.
"Then, everyone stand next to me."
Upon hearing this, everyone did as instructed, standing on either side of Rudeus.
Rudeus took a deep breath and began to unleash the immense magical power within him.
The next moment, a vast surge of magical energy suddenly spread out.
As magic surged, the " World Moon Teleportation " slowly appeared before him.
Immediately afterwards, a complex and mysterious giant magic array appeared beneath everyone's feet.
Countless magical patterns intertwined, radiating a breathtaking brilliance.
The next moment--
boom!
A dazzling white light suddenly erupted, completely engulfing everyone's figures.
Everyone suddenly felt as if they had lost control of their bodies.
Up, down, left, and right all seemed to lose their meaning; all that remained was pure white.
This feeling made everyone's hearts instinctively tighten.
Because of this scene...
This is so similar to the Teleport Incident from back then.
That enormous disaster changed the fate of countless people.
After a short while, the blinding light finally dissipated.
Everyone slowly opened their eyes.
The next second, everyone was stunned.
As far as the eye could see, there was an endless desert.
A scorching wind whipped up a cloud of yellow sand, howling past everyone.
"Where... am I?"
Paul looked around blankly.
"This is the Begaritt Continent."
Rudeus answered calmly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the magic within him surged once more.
Blue magic flowed through his body like a tide, rapidly spreading outwards.
[ Perception ] Activated.
In an instant, the commotion within a radius of several miles was all captured by his consciousness.
After a moment, Rudeus frowned slightly.
"Found it."
"The maze is nearby, about two kilometers from here."
He paused for a moment, his expression gradually becoming serious.
However... it seems there's been a slight problem.
"What? Something's wrong?"
Paul's expression changed drastically.
"What are we waiting for? Let's go!"
Rudeus nodded without the slightest hesitation.
The next instant, he raised his hand and summoned the greatsword.
Everyone climbed onto the giant sword.
With a whooshing sound, the giant sword instantly transformed into a streak of light, carrying everyone away into the distance.
In just a few breaths, they arrived at the front of a huge cave.
This is it.
Rudeus gazed at the dark entrance to the cave.
"This is a Teleportation Labyrinth. Once we're inside, just stick close to me."
"Don't worry."
Eris patted her chest and said confidently.
" Rudeus is very powerful. Besides, I'm not bad either; I'm the Magic Sword Emperor!"
As she spoke, she turned to look at the pink-haired man beside her.
"You're right, aren't you, Rujierd?"
Rujierd nodded slightly.
"Um."
"Yoshi!"
Rudeus knelt down and picked up his two younger sisters.
" Aisha- chan, Norn -chan, sit on your brother's shoulders."
"Cheer for your brother when he fights the monsters later!"
The two adorable little sisters immediately answered in unison:
"Okay, Onii-san!"
Rudeus smiled, then strode towards the entrance to the maze.
The crowd followed closely behind.
Upon entering the cave, the group was immediately greeted by a strong stench of blood and decay.
At the entrance, there were already many monster corpses lying there.
The body was mutilated, indicating that it had been dead for some time.
"This place has already been cleaned up."
Rujierd glanced around and said in a deep voice.
As they ventured deeper into the land, they surprisingly encountered no monsters.
However, just as everyone continued forward—
Tap, tap, tap!
Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps echoed from deep within the cave.
Rudeus suddenly looked up.
A figure was seen rushing out of the darkness.
She was a tall woman with long, curly hair.
Her steps were unsteady and hurried, and her figure was somewhat unsteady, clearly indicating that she was injured.
However, before she could run very far, she heard a flurry of footsteps behind her again.
The next moment, a group of ferocious figures emerged from the darkness.
The crowd finally saw clearly what was chasing the woman.
They were a group of demons wielding longswords and clad in armor.
"Tsk."
Rudeus's eyes narrowed.
Without the slightest hesitation, he raised his hand, and dazzling magic instantly gathered between his two fingers.
[ Light-Guided Arrow ]!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two beams of light shot out suddenly.
A dazzling streak of light pierced the dim cave, precisely bypassing the fleeing woman and heading straight for the horde of monsters behind her.
boom!
A dazzling light suddenly burst forth.
The pursuing monster didn't even have time to scream before its body rapidly disintegrated in the light, turning into countless tiny particles of light that vanished into the air.
At the same time, the woman finally exhausted her last bit of strength.
His legs buckled, and he collapsed to the ground.
Rudeus then quickly stepped forward.
When he saw the woman's face clearly, he was immediately stunned.
" Elinalise?!"
How did you get here?
Only then did he notice that Elinalise was covered in wounds, with her left shoulder being particularly badly injured, its hem stained with blood.
Rudeus immediately raised his hand.
The gentle magic quickly covered her wound.
[ King Rank Healing Magic ]!
A dazzling light flashed, and the gruesome wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, even stopping the bleeding quickly.
Elinalise's previously scattered consciousness gradually returned.
She slowly opened her eyes.
The moment she saw the person in front of her, her pupils contracted sharply, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.
" Rudeus?!"
The next second, she grabbed Rudeus's arm suddenly, her voice extremely urgent:
"Quickly... quickly go save Roxy!"
She's about to die!
"What?!"
