Beyond the Gate

Abel didn’t know what had happened. One moment, he felt his body floating. The next, he was landing on the ground, his surroundings completely different from what they had been. He found himself in a meadow that stretched for ages in every direction...

He looked to his left and right and was a bit relieved to see Rihya, Lyn, and Warren. Not too far away, he spotted Arthur and the rest of the Bureau’s research team.

“Rihya, Lyn, Warren, are you all okay?”

“Yes.”

“Yup.”

Warren nodded.

“Arthur, what about you?” Abel called out to the Bureau’s advisor.

“I’m fine. Looks like the rest of my team was transferred too, eh?” Arthur replied while surveying their surroundings.

“What do you mean by ‘transferred’?”

“A long time, I experienced the same exact thing in a dungeon in the Western Provinces. I can’t rightly tell if we’re on another layer of the dungeon or somewhere else entirely. But...I do believe we were forcefully moved.” Arthur explained as he approached Abel and his party.

The members of the Bureau’s research team picked themselves up and followed naturally after him. Several of them held residual magic detectors.

“Are the detectors working normally?”

“Yes, they are, Sir. I think they’re transmitting this location’s data to the analysis team on the surface...”

“Which means help might come for us, right?!” Lyn said happily.

“I wonder...” Arthur’s expression was doubtful.

“Something’s clearly bugging you, Arthur, huh?”

“Yes. This space. Rihya, don’t you think it resembles something?”

Rihya the priestess contemplated the advisor’s question while gazing up at the sky. After a short time mulling it over, the answer came to her.

“It feels like a Sanctuary Square...”

Only high-ranking priests and priestesses could use Sanctuary Squares. They were a type of Absolute Defense Magic said to be divine miracles. A Sanctuary Square’s ability to repel all kinds of magical and physical attacks made the moniker of “divine miracle” a fitting one.

However, the fact that this situation resembled a Sanctuary Square meant...

“Basically, you’re saying we’re trapped inside some kind of barrier?” Abel asked.

“The likelihood is high, yes,” Rihya responded. “Although, it’s so massive there’s no telling where the boundary is.”

At the very least then, they were imprisoned in a potentially dangerous location. Even Abel understood that much. For now, they needed to investigate their current circumstances.

“Lyn, do you mind using Probe to see if there’s anything around us?”

“Yooou got it! Bring to me the pulse and existence of life. Probe.”

Her spell spread throughout the air and returned information to her.

“A large number of life-forms detected in an area roughly five hundred meters over there. I’d say around a thousand people? Aside from them, there are also fifty additional life-forms I’ve never encountered before now.”

“A thousand people...” Abel muttered.

“Well, the most likely answer is that Clive and his people were dumped in here with us,” Arthur said.

“Seems we were dragged along with the canaries. Neither of us had the time to escape, eh? What a right pain in the arse... At any rate, our only option is to head in that direction...”

“Yeah, I suppose you’re right.”
