Zongman, Rebirth of the Heaven-Defying Kirito

Haji Malimas

Haiming City, night.

On the edge of the roof of the tallest building in the entire city, a girl in a black dress and long golden hair stood on the edge.

The scenery of the city below rippled in her eyes, and she seemed to be immersed in a state of quiet thought.

"Fate, are you ready to go back?"

A voice from behind interrupted her thoughts.

The person who spoke was a girl with orange hair and animal ears wearing a red and black cloak.

Her name is Elf, and her prototype is a giant orange-red wolf. She is also Fate's familiar.

The girl called Fate responded calmly: "Well, I have also collected three Holy Stone Seeds. I can take them back to my mother first."

After getting a positive answer, the girl with animal ears drooped.

"I have to see that woman again. I really don't want to go back!"

The 'woman' she was talking about was none other than the mother of her master 'Fate'.

But in her opinion, that person was not qualified to be a mother.

It would be bad enough that he doesn't love his daughter, but his feelings for her have even reached the point of disgust.

He would lose his temper and curse and physically punish his daughter at any time.

It's really annoying.

Hearing the other party's complaints, Fate also understood very well.

After all, it's for your own sake.

But the two had a different attitude towards that person.

That is Fate, who is not loved, but still wants to regain the gentle mother in her "memory".

So she turned around and looked at Elf: "Don't say such things anymore, we are just helping our mother fulfill her wish."

Now that the master has spoken, I dare not disobey.

So he sighed and said, "I know..."

Then the topic changed and we saw the item in Fate's hand.

“…That’s…a cake?”

"Yeah." Fate nodded: "Since you are going back, you should bring some gifts... It seems to be the etiquette of this world."

Elf narrowed her eyes in thought.

But no matter how she imagined it, she didn't think that something as beautiful as a cake would be compatible with that vicious woman.

So I brought it up: "I don't think she would like this kind of thing."

Fate was silent for a while, then slowly spoke:

"...I see...But the gift for meeting someone depends on the intention. If the intention is conveyed..."

Oh no, we’re talking about a heavy topic again.

Why did he have to talk about that woman again? Why didn't he say something else?

While blaming herself, Elf looked around for a topic that could ease the atmosphere.

Soon she found something strange not far from the two of them.

Then he pointed to one side and asked, "By the way, was that something Fate prepared in advance?"

Looking in the direction that Elf pointed, a blurry barrier came into view.

The barrier was square no matter which direction you looked at it from, and the surface was blurry and you couldn't tell what was inside.

It is not big, about the size of two doors.

"I didn't prepare it."

Fate denied it immediately. She couldn't remember when she had made such a strange thing.

They both looked at the thing.

First of all, people in this world should not have similar technology, and secondly, it was not invented by Fate.

In this case, there is only one target to speculate.

"Could it be the Space-Time Administration?!"

As she spoke, Elf even jumped back a few steps, as if she was on guard against the enemy that was about to emerge.

"Calm down, Elf."

As Fate spoke, he took a few steps closer to the barrier.

After a close observation, I concluded:

"I don't sense any magical fluctuations from this thing. It shouldn't be a magic item from the Spacetime Administration."

After hearing this, Elf also breathed a sigh of relief and followed Fate's example to observe more closely.

Touch it with your finger.

There was no feeling at all, it was like being swept by light.

“It’s a really peculiar thing.”

As she said that, Elf stuffed half of her hand in.

The arms can stretch freely in it, and it does not seem like something that the Space-Time Administration would use.

After basically confirming that it was safe, Elf even put her entire head in.

"I want to see what this thing is, or what treasure is hidden inside?"

But the scene inside was shocking.

The moment I opened my eyes, light pierced into them.

Elf quickly pulled her body out: "Fate... This is a portal!"

Portal, a technology that connects one place to another.

It should be easy to achieve with the technology of the Space-Time Administration.

But the premise for the use of all technologies is that there must be fluctuations in magic power, and the thing in front of us obviously does not have that.

This also made Fate start to carefully examine the things in front of him.

So he asked, "By the way, Elf, what's the scene inside?"

“Although I only took a quick look, I felt that this world was very different from the world outside the 97th Administration.”

Elf scratched her head and told what she saw, but it would be difficult for her to describe it in detail.

After some thought, Fate came to a conclusion.

She couldn't let a portal of unknown origin open so close to her, as it might affect her mother's plan.

"I see. It seems we need to investigate further."

Hearing this, Elf reminded:

"Wait... Didn't Fate say he wanted to go back to the Spacetime Courtyard? Why did he have to investigate on the spot?"

Fate said calmly: "It's okay, it's just an inspection and assessment of the danger level, it will be over in a moment."

"Lightning Axe, please."

(Yes sir)

A mechanical sound sounded.

What responded to her was a golden triangle outfit worn on her right hand.

The next second, golden magic power with lightning enveloped the whole body.

The original black dress disappeared, replaced by a red and black cloak, black tights and a battle skirt.

Her long golden hair was tied into two ponytails with a black ribbon.

In his hand he held a battle axe with a yellow core embedded in it.

If the world in front of us is dangerous, this transformed outfit will be the biggest trump card.

Not only can it reduce the damage she receives, but if combined with the intelligent magic device in her hand, she will be confident that she can escape safely even if she encounters danger.

“Let’s go.”

After saying that, he rushed forward to cross the blurry barrier in front of him.

Looking at her master's back as he rushed in, Elf had no choice.

"It seems there is no way."

Then they entered together.

When they arrived at the world behind the portal, the two had a certain understanding of this place.

Firstly, this is a vast area that is being developed, which can be explained by the mines beneath our feet.

The two were just downstream of a water source.

The lake water came from nowhere and flowed down, with countless pebbles on both sides.

They are made up of sand shells of various colors such as yellow, red, black and white.

No, considering the scene in the surrounding mining area, those are definitely not ordinary pebbles.

It should be a rough gemstone that has not been polished.

After all, who would open a mine in the same place where ordinary pebbles are produced?

“But it’s really spectacular.”

Elf was referring not only to the countless mines of all sizes around.

Even looking into the distance, those towering rocks and mountains are also made of raw stones, but they are much larger...
