A Reincarnated Person With a Sub-Dimension

Episode 51

soaked in the bathtub

My body melted in the warm water, and the drowsiness came over me.

“Oh, I’m tired.”

After being awake for close to three weeks, I felt real exhaustion, both physically and mentally.

As my body loosened up, a strong desire to sleep surged up.

I got up from the bathtub to properly wash off the old grime and go to bed.

But then.

“Ian. Are you inside?”

Eva’s voice came from outside the door.

I knew someone was coming, but I didn’t know it was Eva.

“Yeah, wait a minute. I’m washing up right now.”

I got out of the bathtub and wiped my wet body.

After changing into comfortable clothes, I opened the door.

In front of the door stood Eva’s older sister with a nervous face.

Sister Eva smiled brightly.

However, he soon put on a pouty expression and tapped my chest.

“Where are you coming from? Do you know how worried I am?”

“Since we were hunting, the schedule got a little longer. I thought I’d visit you soon, but how did you find out?”

“I asked the inn staff to let me know as soon as you arrive. So you’ve been hunting all along? Nothing special?”

“Yes. What happened?”

At my question, Sister Eva let out a long sigh.

“Ha, really. No. You must be wrong. Let’s go inside.”

Eva’s sister came into the room with unknown words.

We sat across from each other at a small table.

That’s how Eva’s story began.

“…So we’re fighting with each other to recruit the mercenaries from Jerome’s mercenary team.”

‘I almost got caught.’

After hearing the story, Erita became noisy because of me.

Shortly after I killed Jerome, Captain Luna arrived on the scene.

Sister Eva, who arrived soon after, confirmed Jerome’s death and started a search to find me.

Sister Eva wandered around the forest for nearly a day.

However, it is impossible to search the entire northern part.

The search stopped when I couldn’t find my trace the next day.

After that, Jerome, the source of my concern, died, so I returned to Erita with the hope that I would be safe.

While Sister Eva was out in the North.

Erita was abuzz with the news of Jerome’s death.

When I think about the first time I ran into Jerome, Eva’s sister also didn’t have a friendly relationship with him.

My sister had no acknowledgment to pick up Jerome’s body.

That’s how Jerome’s body was discovered by chance, even though it was a rare place.

The existence of the mercenary corps depended on the presence or absence of skilled masters.

Now that Jerome’s death was confirmed, the Jerome Mercenary Corps had no choice but to disband.

So, mercenaries were competing to recruit silver mercenaries who belonged to Jerome’s mercenaries.

Since the mercenary corps has a structure in which the more talented members there are, the higher the profits, so it was only natural that they be proactive in recruiting members.

“Of course, we are not interested at all. If they had accepted us as talented, the size of our mercenary group would have grown several times.”

“That’s right. My sister’s mercenaries also look at personality. Anyway, you must have suffered a lot because of me.”

“No. How grateful I am to you. After all, Jerome died because you went away.”

Sister Eva caught her breath for a moment.

“I’m going to talk about it in detail, but I have a bad relationship with Jerome. Unni’s training like crazy was all to get revenge on him. Unnie seems a little discouraged, but from my point of view, I’m very satisfied. It’s all thanks to you. .”

“Really? My sister likes it, so I like it too. But didn’t Captain Jerome say it was the eighth rank? Who the hell killed such a talented person?”

He is confident that he has erased all traces left after the battle with Jerome.

Still, I asked in case I didn’t know.

“It was probably me and my sister who first discovered Jerome. Judging from the fact that his upper body was cut off at once, it seemed that he died without even fighting properly. So I couldn’t find any clues to identify anyone.”

“Is there anyone suspicious?”

“First of all, judging from the traces of sword cuts, it must be certain that they are master warriors. So I checked the whereabouts of the mercenary leaders, and they were all clean. If you see that it’s not in Erita, it’s probably in the heart.”

‘I knew it. Of course they would think the suspect was a master.’

Even Sister Eva knows that I’ve recently been promoted to silver mercenary.

During the mercenary screening process, you can’t hide your level of mana, so you won’t even suspect that the culprit is me.

“Did you check the access records?”

“Yeah. I don’t know if it’s someone else, but since the master warrior died, the military readily cooperated. First of all, the master warriors who are active alone are all out to the north.”

Sometime after Jerome died, he still hasn’t returned.

They were the ones who put their necks on real training.

“Then it will be difficult to confirm until you return.”

“That’s what I mean. I barely stopped her from going to the simcheo herself because of that.”

“ah.”

‘How are you going to find people in that wide place? Is it passionate or has no countermeasures?’

I nodded quietly, and Sister Eva continued.

“Still, there are people who can guess. Regina Rowe is a single warrior of the old ranks, and she has a deep grudge with Jerome. In the past, she was in great trouble because of Jerome’s magic sword, and she may have taken revenge on him.”

“A demonic sword? Isn’t the demonic sword a strategic weapon, so not everyone can get it?”

Unexpected words came out of Sister Eva’s mouth.

Actually, the first thing I tried to do after returning to Erita was to find out about the demonic sword.

Originally, I was planning to inquire about the magic sword at a nearby bar after taking a break, but my sister brought up the story first.

It was a good thing for me because I was able to get information naturally.

“Yeah. It’s originally like that. But he said he had a high-level magic sword. I don’t know where he got such a treasure when it’s hard to find even low-level ones.”

“A high-level magic sword? Did the magic sword have a grade?”

“I didn’t know. You can think of ejecting outdoor air as lower grade, pulling out air like threads and ejecting it as intermediate level, and being able to stack mana, the source of magic, as upper grade. But the results are almost the same: lower level single-target attacks, medium range attacks, and higher range attacks.”

Sister Eva continued to explain.

Mages, like samurai, have the characteristic of discharging mana rather than compressing it.

Therefore, it was impossible to express external energy even for a master.

However, wizards had a unique skill called mana stacking.

The ninth-level wizard created an effect similar to compression by innumerably overlapping the projected mana.

It didn’t have as much offensive and defensive power as outside air, but it possessed just as much power, and was capable of wide-range attacks that were impossible with outside air.

The ability of a high-level magic sword is a skill that superimposes the magician’s source mana on the surface of the outside air and ejects it.

As much as a huge amount of source mana was consumed, the value was also said to be more than 10 times that of a mid-level magic sword.

After organizing what I had heard in my head, I asked a question.

“Then, how powerful is the advanced magic sword?”

“A high-grade magic sword is a weapon worthy of being called a strategic weapon. When mana is ejected overlapping, it not only deals wide-area damage, but also allows a single attack on the target due to the air inside. It’s because it can do damage. For example…”

A confrontation between a sword and barding of the same class was similar to a confrontation between a spear that pierces anything and a shield that blocks anything.

However, the story was different when a high-level magic sword and an intermediate-level barding were to face each other.

It doesn’t have as much power as outside air, but mana stacks are equally powerful.

In the position to deal with a high-level magic sword, you will receive the same damage as if you were continuously attacked by external air.

If he did not use his mana to surround himself with outside air and prepare for it, even a master warrior wearing barding could have lost his life in vain.

For this reason, the distribution of high-grade magic swords and high-grade barding was carried out through special management.

“Did Jerome have such a great treasure?”

“That’s why I’m puzzled. If I killed someone and stole it, I’m sure there would be rumors.

‘thanks. Jerome.’

Thanks to Jerome, I got my hands on a great treasure.

As such, it seemed necessary to be careful in future use.

Sister Eva was happy to meet me, so she told me various stories, from Erita’s situation to personal chatter.

And after a while, after seeing the yawn that came out without me knowing, Eva’s sister left, promising the next time.

‘Let’s take a deep breath after a long time.’

Fortunately, I learned about the magic sword’s ability, so there was no reason to go outside.

The next destination is a place worth visiting tomorrow morning.

I decided to get a long sleep tonight.

I summoned a pocket watch and moved to the sub-dimension.

At the same time as the vision was reversed, the fatigue of the body disappeared as well as the exhausted mental power was filled up.

I drank the cool spring water.

Spring water’s strengthening effect is reduced by half every day.

In other words, even a grain of dust on a bean is strengthened every day.

Perhaps this is the cause of keeping the body and mind in the best condition, I thought.

Going to the Sub-Dimension consumes the mental energy charged in the pocket watch.

Conversely, when I return to reality, I use my mental strength.

When I returned to reality, I felt a pleasant fatigue.

It was similar to the drowsiness you feel after eating a full meal.

He pulled the cozy blanket and fell asleep.

dawn the next day.

Before sunrise in the morning, I visited the temple in the fort.

The temple built with huge stones was full of divine dignity even in the twilight of dawn.

As I entered the temple, I was greeted by the light of candles that brightly lit the interior and the subtle scent wafting from the incense burner.

In the center of the temple was a large and beautiful altar, and in front of it a priest clad in white was preaching a sermon based on the scriptures of Teres.

“So today I am going to meditate on the greatest grace bestowed by the Almighty Lord. We all know how much sin and suffering this world is full of. But the Lord did not forsake us. Rather, these countless The pain experienced in sin is the test and grace of the Lord God to lead us to heaven.”

The priest stopped preaching for a moment and looked at the people gathered in the temple.

“Because of the Lord’s mercy, we have the Spirit, which is a fragment of the Lord and the evidence of salvation. If so, what do we need to do to be saved? is to build up.

We at present are just a cross-section of a soul that is accumulating karma to ascend to the heavens. However, even though it is a small and feeble life, we must keep in mind. This means that the present life is the process of preparing for the eternal life. Just as raindrops gather to become a river and rivers gather to become an ocean, cause and effect in the present life lead to the next life.

don’t forget It means that cultivating and training the hundred (魄) where causes and effects of the present life gather is the process of building a stepping stone to go to the eternal kingdom.

love your neighbor Reject evil. Stay true to your present life.”

After a long sermon, the service ended with a priest’s prayer.

The people gathered in the temple worshiped the statue of Teres and left the temple one by one.

I approached the priest coming down from the altar.
