233. Thrown To Another World

Feeling his wounds starting to slowly heal, he remembered the first time he fought Hime after they met. At that time, his injuries were so serious that he thought he couldn't be saved. But this time, he only realized that back then, the cells in his body were slowly healing from the severe injuries he had received. As long as he didn't die immediately, he could be saved.

Even so, the girl in front of him was too terrifying. He thought Hime would do something when creating another dimension, as well as preventing him from escaping after knowing Izumi could use space magic.

He felt pressured by a power he couldn't beat, even Rori, who incidentally is a demigod, most likely couldn't do much against Hime.

After learning that the cells in his body were regenerating possibly because of his Kagune, he remembered the time he had asked Hime why she had let him live. But Hime instead asked back with a bit of surprise because she didn't know anything. Now he understood what Hime meant at that time.

Izumi tried to calm himself down for a moment while closing his eyes. His breathing and heart rate began to return to normal. His mind began to clear.

He had found and had an effective way to fight Hime. The unfortunate thing was, he couldn't finish it in just a week. What's more, he needed the help of external forces. Because Hime appeared so suddenly before he found something that might stop her, he was a little mentally disturbed since her strength was more dangerous if it was used against the people from the earth. Probably, she could even destroy the earth with her power. If Rori's strength is compared to the power level in Dragon Ball, Rori's strength only reaches the base form of Frieza's level. Meanwhile, D is at the third of Frieza's transformation level.

Izumi waited for some time for the wound to heal, then he realized that there was a slight change in him. However, he remained silent without expressing it.

Once Izumi had recovered and stood up, Hime said.

"Well now. I know you have some unique powers that might not be limited by the level system, so you should help me out a bit!"

Izumi without turning to Hime and just stretched his body while asking in an unconcerned tone.

"Wait! What now?"

"I will send you to another world!"

"Fine. Besides, it's useless if I refuse. But, I will ask first. Why should I go to another world? For what? You should have told me first so I had a clear goal in mind!"

"Eh, I thought you would refuse. Well, I want you to save my old friend's world. If you succeed, I will stop interfering with your life after that."

Even though she said that, in her heart. "Hehe, my friend's world might not be saved. He didn't know that the system there was broken. Well, I will save you in the last moment if you failed though."

Hime didn't know that the world she was referring to was already known to Izumi.

Izumi responded by simply closing his eyes. And because of his calm expression, Hime couldn't read what he was thinking.

"What the fuck! Who would believe what you said?" Izumi said inwardly. And after that, he raised his 3 fingers.

"I have three wishes."

"You think I'm a genie?"

"Short of. But, I really need you to grant my conditions if you send me to another world!"

"Oh, what do you want?"

"First, give me automatic translation capabilities in case our languages ​​are different!"

"Hmm, that makes sense. Then?"

"Second..."

Izumi asked for conditions before Izumi was sent to that world. And fortunately, the conditions weren't that difficult to grant, so Hime happily agreed. She also said that the flow of time in the world he was going to was much faster than the earth where he lived. And moments later, Hime waved her hand and sent Izumi into a world that could be said to be on the verge of collapse.

The Great Elroe Labyrinth is an enormous labyrinth under the sea that also connects two continents. It is home to a myriad of monsters that often have dungeon names attached to their names. Near the entrance of the Great Elroe Labyrinth on each continent, stood forts to anticipate the outbreak of monsters that came out in large numbers from the labyrinth.

It was noon at that moment. The clear sky and scorching sun accompanied the day when all of a sudden, a young man appeared on the top of the fort, where a lot of the fortress guards were looking after the Great Elroe Labyrinth.

That young man was none other than Izumi. His appearance out of nowhere naturally attracted a lot of attention from the people there.

"Who?"

A fortress guard immediately pointed his spear at Izumi who appeared all of a sudden. Likewise the other guards. Izumi, who had just arrived, was certainly annoyed to see the spearhead in front of his eyes.

"Tsk. Stop pointing at me! My mood is pretty bad now."

Izumi created a strong wind and made the fortress soldiers float in the air while spinning them around. If Izumi took back his power, those fortress soldiers would fall from a height of more than 30 meters.

"That bitch is really bad at sending people to another world." Izumi murmured while clenching his fists. Izumi could see Hime's previously confident face. She was confident because there was no way Izumi could beat her because his power clearly had such a significant difference. Since the world Izumi was sent to was a world under her jurisdiction, Hime believed that Izumi couldn't just leave that world.

"You will taste your own medicine because you have given me this ability without suspecting me. You think I can't escape this world?" Izumi had been planning something since Hime wanted to send him to another world. But he didn't know if what Hime said about the flow of time having a difference from his original world was true or not. He had to check it himself.

"For now, I have to find strong enough allies, and perhaps, Rori and Tabane can help me as well."

At that moment, Izumi turned his head, then another fortress soldier walked toward him and asked him to stop.

"Please stop, sir mage! As for my two comrades, I'm on their behalf to apologize if they did anything wrong to you, sir."

Hearing that person's apology, Izumi controlled the wind and put the fortress soldiers down. The rest of the fortress soldiers when they saw his prowess greeted him respectfully.

Even though Izumi was dressed like someone from the academy, with the ability to control the wind perfectly, he was mistaken for a great magician by the fortress soldiers. A magician with elemental manipulation like that could be said to be quite a rare thing. What's more, the magician profession is respected by many people.

"By the way, if we may know, what do you need to do in a place like this sir?"

"Nothing. I just lost my way. Anyway, where is this place?"

"Eh?"

The fortress soldiers were confused because the young man in front of them didn't know this place. One of the fortress soldiers whispered to the soldier who asked Izumi earlier, and it seemed he was the captain of their squad.

"Ah, that means, sir magician came here using the teleportation circle, right?"

"I was thrown here, that's why I don't know where it is."

Izumi answered while looking around. He was in a fortress built around the entrance of the labyrinth. He immediately knew that it was the Great Elroe Labyrinth. The question is, which side of the continent is he currently on?

"This is the Oths Labyrinth Fortress, sir."

Hearing the soldier's words, it sounded like the fortress that Kumoko destroyed, about two years after she was reincarnated. He turned his head towards the soldier who had just answered while asking.

"Has there been a monster outbreak lately?"

"Yes sir, many monsters are coming out of the labyrinth as if there are monsters from the middle layer of the labyrinth climbing to the upper layer of the labyrinth and frightening the monsters in that upper layer."

"Your deduction is probably correct, you know."

"What makes you think so, sir?"

Izumi curled his lips. He didn't reply as he had already sensed a terrifying aura running toward the entrance of the labyrinth.
