When I left the cave, I found myself in a forest. It had been a long time since I had been outside, so I took in deep breaths of air.

The sound and scent of the lush forest rustling in the air were nostalgic, reminding me of how much I appreciated nature.

I wanted to just relax and enjoy the forest, but that didn’t seem to be possible.

After all, a girl was fighting against a monster in a place like this.

Name: Buffalot

Attack Power: 543

Defense Power: 512

Speed: 144

Magic: 1

“Haa… Haaa…..! Why doesn’t it work?!”

The girl looked like a magician from her appearance.

The cow-shaped demon over there was a Buffalot, which was designated as a level 3 monster.

It was a bipedal cow-shaped demon that looked a little like a Minotaur. The difference was that it was less intelligent and didn’t have any weapons.

However, its arm strength can smash through an adventurer with half-baked armor. It was said that beating it would allow you to make a living as an adventurer, as long as you weren’t extravagant.

In other words, the fact that she could fight against it showed how good she is.

Name: ???

Attack Power: 2 + 320

Defense Power: 2 + 320

Speed: 2 + 320

Magic: 565 + 100

Skill: Halve Chant Time

She was properly reinforced with magic power, and her magic was not bad.

The advantage of magicians was that they could use their own magic power to strengthen their physical abilities as much as a vanguard,

She also had a very rare skill of being able to halve chanting time. It was so rare that you might be asked to become a court magician.

“If only the magic amplification value of this wand was more than + 100, I think I would have already won.”

However, ‘what ifs’ were meaningless in a battle where lives were at stake.

I was somehow reminded of the knight commander’s habit.

“Here, let me help you.”

“Eh…..”

The head of the Buffalot was cut off by my space cutter.

With a bit of time lag, the giant body fell forward and sunk into the soil of the forest.

“Eh? Wh-what’s going on?!”

“I’m sorry for startling you! I avoided any fancy magic since we were in the middle of the forest! I only used Space Magic, though, so the monster was instantly ripped apart!”

“Space……?”

“….Well, I’m glad you’re okay.”

I haven’t been in contact with people for a long time, so I miscalculated the tension in my voice

AD

“The Buffalot is a formidable demon with excellent offensive and defensive capabilities. You can’t defeat it just by shooting magic at it. There is a trick to it……. Umm, are you okay?”

“No, what are you?”

“Ah, I’m sorry again. I’m Soa…..”

I was about to say ‘Soalis’, but the saint Soalis was a criminal who dabbled in illegal potions.

I don’t think I will be identified as the person herself, but it’s best to be careful……

“My name is Soa.”

“Soa… san? Well, thank you for your help! I’m Erna, an adventurer! Umm, how did you just do that?!”

“Instead of standing around here talking, let’s go someplace more comfortable.”

“Then, let’s go back to the city! Although I’m not sure if I can calm down…”

The girl’s expression darkened. It looked like she was in some kind of situation.

                * * *

The number of monsters that attacked us on the road was abnormal.

As expected, there were no Buffalot-class monsters, but still, there were so many that I couldn’t shake the feeling of discomfort.

When the Demon King appeared and began to invade the kingdom, there were many monsters of the same class, but they settled down after being defeated.

I thought things had become much more peaceful after that, but now something seemed wrong.

What’s more surprising was Erna-chan’s ability. She had a hard time against the Buffalot, but that was simply due to a lack of skill and knowledge.

With proper training, I thought that she would be able to improve even more.

“We’re here. This is the city of Cadoina.”

“Cadoina……”

When I heard the name of the city, I finally remembered it. It was a city where strong knights of the kingdom were dispatched as it was rather close to the border.

If you build up your achievements in this city and show them to the knights of the kingdom, you would open up a way to join the regular army.

Because of such circumstances, I remembered that the whole town was somewhat tense.

That was in the past. Now, there was a distinct lack of activity. There were only a few people on the streets, and the stores were noticeably closed.

“This is a town where a lot of adventurers visit, right? I’ve heard some people have even joined the Knights Order from here.”

“It seems to have been like that before the saint sealing incident 20 years ago.”

“Hee, 20 years ago……. Eh?”

“It was a case where Saint Soalis was found to have been using banned potions and was sealed up. It seemed that because of this, the country was in turmoil and trouble. Don’t you know that?”

I started to feel dizzy and couldn’t keep track of the information in my head.

It had only been 20 years since saint Soalis, in other words, me, was sealed away? Are you kidding me?

“I wasn’t born yet, but it’s still such a famous case that I know about it. Speaking of which, where did you come from Soa-san? You must be a famous magician to be able to use such amazing magic!”

“That’s not true.”

“Eeeeeh?! But your magic that can cut demons without making any sounds is just amazing!”

“It’s not that amazing.”

Next to the chatty Erna, I was struggling to maintain my composure.

I couldn’t believe it was just 20 years. Could the flow of time be different in the Underworld Sphere?

Or did it take that long for me to create Space Magic?

I think that might have been it. If I had the composure to think about anything else, I would not have been able to complete Space Magic.

This was a mythical grade magic tool that even a complete understanding of magic formulas couldn’t detect.

This was likely an item completely removed from magic and magic power. I’m sure of it.

“E-Erna-chan. How old do I look?”

“Yes? Let’s see, I don’t think you look that different from me in age.”

Erna-chan also looks about 15 years old to me. So my physical age remains 16 years old.

Because I was in the seal, it might be useless to think about this using common sense.

Even so, this was quite a miscalculation. I wonder what has happened to the kingdom in the past 20 years.
