Lord Who Visit Another World

Chapter 83 - Upgrading

"My lord, this is the place where you put the core of the barrier you created?"

I nod at Leonardo, who decides to come with us. I decide it is time to increase the barrier strength and prevent anyone from casting their spying spell. The diamond I have in my possession has enough mana to be used as the barrier's first layer.

When Lucina and I decide to have a journey around my land, Leonardo decides to accompany us on our journey. Coming with him are ten elite soldiers he trained.

"Yes."

"But there is nothing here."

"Yup, because I bury the barrier core deep on the ground. Please stand behind me. I need to do something."

When they hear me, they begin to walk behind me. Seeing them stay behind me, I take a deep breath and flex my magic before suddenly the ground near me begins to open up and create a spiral staircase.

"Come on."

I cast a Lumos spell and begin to walk down to where I place the barrier core. The hole is rather deep, around two hundred and fifty meters deep inside the ground. When we arrive, we can see an altar-like structure, and on top of the altar is a crystal that floats slightly above the altar.

The altar is made of a tree, and there are also four pillars made of the same tree. I'm the one that grows those with the power of Green Magic. Those trees will stay alive as long as they have magic inside of them. Luckily I make them be magic absorbers. They will be the one that absorbs the wild magic in the air and purify them into usable magic.

This process is the same as how humans absorb wild magic from the air.

"How do we change the core, dear?"

I snap from my thoughts when I hear Lucina's voice.

"For now, I need to take the crystal away from the altar."

I release my magic to the air and let the pillar around the altar absorb it. As it recognizes my magic, it shines a little before suddenly the crystal drops on top of the altar, and I can feel the first layer of the barrier I created in the past disappear.

The first layer of the barrier is the barrier that prevents any teleporter from appearing inside my land without my permission. They will either get into the dungeon under my castle or be killed by the barrier.

If the intruder did not force their way through the barrier, the barrier would teleport them inside my dungeon. If they use brute force to try to teleport inside my land, they will die. The latter will also happen if the teleporter decides to appear in some important place, like Lucina and my room, my mother's room, Ginerva room, or the vault.

I then look at one of the soldiers and say.

"Hey…?"

"My name is Silas, My lord. Silas son of Varul"

"Then Silas, please take the crystal, will you? Lucina and I need to prepare the barrier."

"Of course, my lord."

While Silas takes the crystal from the Altar, I sit on the ground with the fully charged Diamond from my pocket dimension and place it on the ground. Sitting next to me is Lucina and in front of her is five Rune Crystal we bought from the Suikoden world.

Anyway, after placing the diamond on the ground, I begin to meditate. As I close my eyes, I suddenly can see the magic inside the ground. It was like a spider web. It spread out to the other place, but it connects to one place, here.

The first time I do this, I need five hours because I need to disconnect the branch that is connected to the monster spawner. I don't want my barrier to become a monster spawner after all.

This time I only need to re-connect the magic in the ground to the four pillars. After doing that, I then connect it to the ten kg worth of Diamond I hold. The jewel in my hand has already been carved with all the rune we need to cast the ward around my land. The diamond is used as the projector that projects the ward we carved on it into the area we want.

I can feel the change in the air around us. It got thicker at first before it returned to normal. To the normal people, it did not feel anything but to the people that are energy sėnsɨtɨvė; there is something that changes like Lucina and Leonardo.

After I finished connecting the jewel to the leyline, I looked at Lucina, who controlled her physical energy and connected each of the runes to the pillar around the crystal I connected to the leyline.

After a few minutes of working, one of the runes in front of Lucina floated toward one of the pillars. The first one is the Fire Rune which attaches itself to the pillar. The second rune is the Water Rune; the third one is Earth Rune, the fourth one is the Wind Rune, and the Lightning Rune attached itself to the altar instead of the pillar.

I can feel the barrier getting stronger by ten times than what it originally was. Now, I can breathe a relief breath as I know the spying barrier will be almost impenetrable. Even when someone tries to brute force their way in, I can feel it and send my own magic into the core and enchant it several times over.

If they still try to brute force their way in then, they will exhaust their reserve to the point of death. However, I still need to create another core for the next layer of the barrier. Sadly it needs to take longer than the first layer.

I already have an idea which curse I will set on the second layer barrier. The first curse I can think of is a curse of infinite illusion. It was like Tsukuyomi, but instead of outright killing you, it trapped your mind in an infinite loop for a few years.

Inside your mind, it will last for a few millennia, but on the outside, it was only a year. What makes this curse more terrifying is that this curse will not let the victim get used to the pain they feel. Each of every pain, be it mentally or physically, is as good as the new pain. It was like the fate Diavolo from Jojo got at the end of Jojo part 5. A nerfed version of it.

What makes this curse even more terrifying is that the victim will be seen as a person that dies peacefully in their sleep or a victim of a heart attack. Indeed, the Harry Potter universe, while not the most powerful magic world in the universe, compensates for it by their verstilelity.

Sadly most of that knowledge has either disappeared because of the death of the family that created the spell or the government decided it was a dark art.

The next one is a little bit more merciful. It was a simple curse that froze their target and trapped them into ice. However, instead of died instantly, it will torture them. The people trapped there will feel a burning feeling that is so intense that it usually makes a human unconscious, but the ice will not allow that to happen.

It will continue to eat the victim slowly but surely before it ends their suffering. It usually takes two days to kill the victim.

"Isaac!"

I snap from my thoughts when I hear Lucina call my name.

"Ah! Sorry about that. Let us go back, shall we?"
