The book reading (session) ended.
Summer Night said goodbye and left. Little Shi went to take a shower.
Seiji's feelings were rather complex now that he had lost his pleasure.
Although it was stressful, it felt great to have two women on each side … No, what was he thinking about!
He didn't have two women on each side at all; he just sat closer to her! He didn't do anything impure; he just had fun reading a novel together!!
He forced himself to stop thinking about it.
At this moment, his cell phone rang.
He checked and saw that it was the landlord.
"Haruta-kun, is Mika with you?"
"She's not with me."
"Do you know where she went, then? I can't reach her cell phone. "Nozomi's voice was filled with worry.
Her cell phone couldn't be reached? Seiji had an ominous feeling.
"… Maybe she's with Chiaki," he responded.
"I'll ask." Nozomi hung up.
Something flashed in Seiji's eyes.
A moment later, he walked out of his home and knocked on Uehara's door.
Soon, the door opened.
"Haruta-kun …"
"Mrs. Landlord … how is it?"
"She's not with Chiaki." Nozomi had a worried expression. "I don't know where Chiaki went either, and I'm currently asking around …"
The ominous feeling in Seiji's heart became even stronger, but he didn't show it on his face in case he increased the landlord's anxiety.
"I'll go look for her as well."
"Sorry to trouble you, Haruta-kun."
"Don't say that."
It was already quite late, and Mika still hadn't returned, and her cell phone couldn't be reached. Seiji felt that it was highly likely that something had happened.
When he returned home, he immediately cast a spell in his study.
[Interdimensional Locator]!
Target: Mika Uehara.
His vision instantly turned pitch-black, and his consciousness became hazy. He hazily saw red lights flashing by, along with many fragmented images and faint sounds.
In this ambiguous realm, Seiji's consciousness was driven by an invisible force towards a certain direction.
"What … is this place …"
"Monsters … So many …"
He heard Mika's voice!
"How terrifying …"
"How can I go back …"
He saw a blurry scene of grey and blue, accompanied by some strange noises.
"Seiji …"
"Save me …"
He could feel fear and despair, as well as the emotions of begging for help.
"Mika!"
Seiji suddenly opened his eyes.
A miniature white formation appeared on the back of his right hand, but it was extremely faint, as if it could disappear at any moment.
He had to hurry!
There was no time to put on a full set of combat equipment. He hurriedly took out his spiritual saber and shield and rushed out of the house.
Activating the Body-strengthening Technique, he followed the guidance of the mark and ran at full speed!
Although he deliberately ran on a road with few people, there were still some passers-by who happened to see his figure passing by at the speed of a speeding car. Some were stunned, and some thought that their eyes were playing tricks on them.
Soon, he reached the river bank.
Seiji felt that there was something strange nearby, but he couldn't tell what it was.
"Yomi, wake up!" Seiji asked his bonded spirit for help.
"A door was previously opened here. I can help you reopen it," Yomi's voice spoke in his mind.
"I knew that I could count on you!"
He immediately began casting a spell.
Seiji formed a seal with both hands and uttered an incantation. Soon, a gigantic golden formation appeared on the ground.
Then, the abnormal feeling became even more obvious. It was as if something invisible and sticky was surging through the entire space around him. Then, a black oval with a red circle inside slowly appeared, as if a mysterious eye had opened.
This was … a "Dimensional Eye"!?
Seiji was astonished.
A mysterious phenomenon that could drag Spiritual Ability users into an Inner World … wasn't this something that only appeared in Spirit Worlds!?
The moment that this question appeared in his mind, he suddenly saw the world spinning around him. Everything in front of him transformed into a vortex, and he heard raspy noises as his consciousness became hazy …
Then, the vortex suddenly opened up again and transformed into a clear scene. Seiji's consciousness returned to normal.
Seiji discovered that he had arrived at a mystical place.
The ground under his feet was gray, while the sky and all around him was blue water. There were all sorts of strange creatures in the water, making this place seem just like an aquarium.
However, this place was far scarier than an aquarium.
That was because these creatures … some resembled plants, some resembled fish, and most of them had strange appearances! Or rather, they were eerie.
Not only that, there were constant low or raspy noises that sounded just like the sound effects from a horror movie.
If an ordinary person came here, they would definitely feel fear.
Seiji saw several octopus-like creatures speedily approaching. With a whoosh, they shot out of the water and attacked him with black tentacles with sharp teeth!
* Shing shing shing … *
Seiji instantly unsheathed his sword and flashed!
The octopus monsters were all chopped down. Not long after they landed on the ground, they transformed into a blue-red mist and dissipated.
As expected of Spiritual Creatures.
This place was probably a Spirit World … or more accurately, an Inner World!
That symbol was the Dimensional Eye.
A Dimensional Eye appearing in a place outside of a Spirit World … was this a new phenomenon?
No matter what, the most important thing right now was to find Mika!
Seiji started running in the direction that the symbol was pointing him in.
Countless creatures in the water noticed him and started attacking him.
Seiji did his best to dodge, but he swiftly eliminated those that he couldn't. He continued running without stopping.
This was just like how he had tried to steal the silver fruit from the Forest Palace in the Spirit World. But this time, he wasn't doing it for resources. He was doing it to save his companion!
He ran to a wide area and heard a low sound that shook his eardrums.
When he looked up, he saw a gigantic creature with the upper body of a crocodile and the lower body of a cuttlefish. This creature was speedily flying through the water above him!
The next second, a gigantic mouth filled with sharp teeth suddenly emerged from the water beside him and bit down at him!!
[Bullet Time], activate!
Seiji dodged this attack.
"I don't have time to fight with you!"
He had no intention of fighting this powerful creature. He wanted to escape.
However, the gigantic monster jumped up and blocked his path. It then swung its gigantic front paw at him!
* Boom!! *
Seiji dodged the attack once again.
"Damn it …"
Since his path was blocked, he had no choice but to fight.
He didn't want to waste too much time, so he decided to use his new ultimate ability.
His system had rewarded him with a new major spell that had the triple effects of killing, purifying, and imprisoning! It was most suitable for dealing with large demons.
After Seiji's body recovered, he immediately began practicing it. It took him more than a week to learn it.
When he tested it out, he discovered that it was far more powerful than he had expected! Compared to [Dragon Counterattack], although it consumed more energy and was more troublesome to use, it was all worth it.
* Boom! Boom! Boom! * …
The crocodile monster continued to attack with its front paw with astonishing momentum.
As Seiji, who had transformed into his golden form, dodged and blocked the attacks, he also formed a seal and cast a spell, setting up multiple golden spell formations on the ground.
* Whoosh!! *
The crocodile monster suddenly twisted its body and pushed off the ground with its front paw. It swung its lower body, and many gigantic blood-red tentacles surrounded it!
Seiji was unable to dodge, nor was he able to block them.
However, he didn't need to.
The spell was complete. The spell activated —
Sealing spell, [Demon Suppression Bell]!
* Boom!!! *
