“Tzaca, is the landmass on your planet so vast?”
Tzaca took an object from inside his robe. It was an eight square.
After looking at the object for a while, Tzaca put it back in his cloak pocket.
Tzaca then pointed in a direction.
“Throughout the area was a lot of wide plains,” he then rotated as much as 90° and pointed towards his front, “In this direction, a lot of wide ocean.” Tzaca now turned as much as 90° again, “This spirit is a lot of wilderness, great goddess." Tzaca ended the explanation with his leg style as usual.
Anna gave a small nod after waiting for Tzaca to give her complete information.
In fact, at first, Anna just wanted to hear the answer 'yes' or 'no' only.
“Then, is there still your nation that inhabits in the land or forests?”
“Yes, great goddess. Our nation amounts to approximately three billion souls.”
“Hah?!”
Anna surprised.
3 Billion is a lot. As Anna knew, all Orcs had fighting skills with minimal average Mana energy like a C-ranked Hunter.
'That means, if the gate is still open…'
Anna did not dare to imagine what would happen.
“But your king is dead. Will your nation still want to continue fighting if it does not have their king anymore? Or will there be a new king appointment?”
Tzaca was silent for a moment. He was now completely convinced that this great goddess must not know each other with the god who had made the magic pillar and also the boundary maker of the war zone.
However, if asked to choose, Tzaca preferred to follow the will of the great goddess before him compared to others.
“There are seven kings who inhabit our planet, the great goddess. What you have destroyed is the king of the kingdom of Tchazabala, our kingdom.”
"Seven kings? So, there are seven kingdoms on this planet?"
"Yes, great goddess."
Anna nodded slowly. He then turned around and jumped onto the huge throne that used to belong to Tzullu and sat cross-legged there. Anna sat quietly for a long time.
In her daydream, Anna recalls information about the Dungeon's knowledge she had learned, both from her family members, from studying on the Association's official website, as well as from her own experience.
He finally knew a little why the same monster could come out of the gate of a different dungeon break, in a different country anyway.
‘Definitely those gates are connected at different locations also on the planet.’
That's Anna's conclusion. He once read, there used to be also dungeon breaks with Orc monsters. That is to say, all the gates that brought the Orcs to Earth, are connected to the planet.
Anna also guessed, other monsters must also have their own planets, just like the Orcs.
He was actually curious about the figure called god by Tzullu and Tzaca, yet they did not know who the god was because it had never met in person and had only heard the story from the Orc elders.
However, from what the elders told them, the god was just a disembodied soul figure who used black smoke magic energy as an intermediary for his soul to convey all his precepts.
°°°
After a long silence, Anna finally stood up.
“Tzaca, go back inside the gate. Tell the others, I'll come later.”
“Good, great goddess.”
After bowing his head deeper, Tzaca got up and went back towards the gate of Anna's created world, while the High Orc mage followed him faithfully behind.
Anna felt her body faintly as she was about to leave from that place, to the point that she had to stand still for quite a long time so that she could control her body again normally.
"What the hell is going on?"
Anna also felt this Orc planet as if it was sucking its Mana energy. Ever since she was here earlier, Anna had already lost as much as 0.01% of her Mana energy.
That Mana energy completely disappeared and did not recover as usual, even though he did not use it during the talk with the Orcs earlier.
After feeling her body return to normal, Anna jumped into the air, then flew and left the place.
°°°
On her way around the planet Orc, Anna finally finds some kingdoms like the one Tzaca infomated.
Feeling that something was wrong with her health, Anna simply hid while observing the activities within the kingdom.
He tried his best to dispel the aura of his being. The girl thought, it would be dangerous if she was caught and forced to fight against them.
Anna was a little worried as she recalled the moment she had already lost 0.02% of her Mana energy which had somehow evaporated to nowhere without being able to recover.
He also thought, it was possible that the Mana energy he used while fighting would simply disappear without ever returning.
Anna still could not understand the state of the planet that could absorb this power.
°°°
In addition to Orcs with the same 'species' as Tzullu, Anna found there was an Orc with another ‘species’ there.
The Orc-faced creature had two wings beside its body and had only two legs, without having any hands.
The winged orcs that lived around that fiery crater, had magic energy that was even stronger than the Orc King.
However, their numbers are not much.
Anna leaned her body against a large rock. The headache that he had been feeling was getting worse.
Despite several times trying to eliminate it by using his magic, somehow the magic does not work.
“Am I exhausted?” think Anna.
But that's not the right conclusion. Because he knew that he did not even use more than 5% of his Mana energy while fighting the Orc army on Earth.
So far, he had never even used his Mana energy more than 3% other than while fighting with the Orc King while protecting the 4 Hunters and Orc army earlier.
Feeling that her condition is not okay, Anna does not want to force herself further to investigate the planet and decides to return to Earth first.
"I'll be back later."
After focusing his mind there, his body disappeared from that place.
That was his method of teleporting.
Normally, the circumstances around him would instantly become dark or light in less than 1 second, before he finally arrived at his destination.
But this time it was completely different.
°°°
Anna found herself now among the twinkling crystal fog.
He felt his body move very quickly through the crystal fog.
Now, his body was in a dark void. However, he can see large objects, such as the Earth and Moon from the dim light that is there.
'Is it a planet?'
While still guessing about her existence, Anna saw a huge chunk of rock in front of her and she was now heading there at an extremely terrifying speed.
He wasn't sure if the massive object was an ordinary rock or a planet, looking at it from its size similar to the size of the Moon.
'What is a giant asteroid?!'
Knowing that her body was going to hit the giant rock hard, Anna wanted to crush the stone with her magic power, yet her hands were completely unmoved. He only realized that his whole body was stiff without being able to move at all.
Anna tried hard to move her body in panic, while continuing to stare at the approaching boulder.
Had it been an ordinary stone like the one she used to see on Earth or within the Dungeon, Anna would not have felt worried.
Because the size of the black stone was as big as the size of a Moon that Anna was worried about, especially with her speed approaching 'giant stone'.
However, just as he was supposed to hit the giant rock, strangely enough, he pierced through it.
‘What happened?! And why can't I control my body?!’
Anna was panicking.
After passing through that thing, he was now in a long darkness.
Although he could see there were 1 small point of light in the distance, but he felt like he would not arrive there in a short time.
His Mana energy was slowly drained.
So far, Anna felt her Mana energy had been drained to 8%. It was even greater than the Mana energy he used to fight against the Orc King.
A golden light shot out from all over the delicate pores in his body.
‘Akh…! What is it exactly?!’
Anna screamed from her panic, but it seemed to be swallowed back because she could not open her mouth at all.
His body continued to move at the speed of light, yet it was still within a long darkness.
Anna knew that her body was moving fast, because she could finally see the white dot had expanded to a little wider like a vortex of smog, which was white.
The longer, the more his Mana energy was depleted.
Anna realized that her Mana energy use had already exceeded 50%. He had never even imagined that he would use that much Mana energy in his state that could not move at all.
The longer he was in the darkness, and the more his Mana energy was drained, his body felt increasingly hot.
Anna tried to recite the spells she had learned in her mind while she was on an alien planet first, but what she wanted did not happen at all.
When her Mana energy usage had reached 90%, Anna felt an immense heat all over her body.
Nevertheless, the white vortex that was far in front of him seemed to expand even more and he could see the crystal dust inside.
‘That's a star?’
Anna finally realized that the objects she had previously thought of as dust were the stars.
'Crazy ones! Am I in space?!'
When his Mana energy usage reached 95%, the sparks of flames started burning the golden light that had been protecting him since then, especially when he had already entered the crystal fog region.
As the golden light burned away, his entire body began to burn.
Anna felt a tightness in her chest. His heart beats very fast. The entire organs within his body were churning as if they were about to explode.
Just as she was about to lose consciousness, Anna felt a flow of magic energy flowing out from all parts of her left body.
That magic energy the longer it took to reduce the sense of heat in his body.
The longer, the warmer the body felt as the magic energy circled the entire surface of her body as if it wanted to become a protector that coated Anna's entire body with a bluish glow.
[“I'll protect her, the rest I leave to you.”]
[“Sure. Leave it to me.”]
[“May we all be safe.”]
[“I will try. This is the first time we have defied the law of interstellar travel, without going through the gate.”]
Although a faint was heard, Anna could listen to two different voices, talking nearby.
The first is the voice of a woman, and the voice of a man recalls afterwards.
‘This man's voice?! Her voice was the same as the one I had heard before!’
Anna suddenly remembered the voice.
Although this was the first time she heard the woman's voice, she had heard and remembered the man's voice.
Her voice was the same voice as the one that told her about how long she had lived on an alien planet the first time she was in Gina's apartment.
However, this was not a good time to treat his curiosity.
When her Mana energy usage reached 99%, Anna lost consciousness and fainted.
