Chapter 44 - The swordman and the bandits!

After messing around with each other, we came to an area that was insanely deserted, and a house was standing in the middle of it. Well, seeing it surely felt like a trap but surely this ashoka was not in mood of playing around, as he started to quickly summon few of his soldier and started to search the While they were checking it, Ashoka and I saw that the old man who was asking for help was not to be seen; even I wasn't able to detect his presence or anyone else's, as Otaku spoke, "Master, that guy crossed the space rift and is making a run. Well, surely he isn't an average old man, so please keep your guard." Hearing his words, I spoke, "Ok, but can you catch him or track him?" Hearing my question, he sighed and spoke, "No master, as crossing the space rift means that he has entered another space, so it will be more like searching for a needle in the entire galaxy, so it won't!" hearing his words, I nodded, as surely his words seem sensible and by judging his nature, he won't make a random excuse but if a person that skilled, came to our space and even dragged us in this mess, surely means that the guy is powerhouse and surely if he dragged us to this house, we should check it, as ashok's minions sarted to explore the area, after sometime, the sounds of clashing started to rose from the house, as ashoka's expression started to change, as he started to call more skilled fighters, as surely the results started to shake even us, as those minions also lost, well the expression on the face of ashoka started to change, as this motherfucker started to have that evil grin on his face, as he started to cast inchants and started to call the powerhouses from his training ground and as the dazzling aura started to radiate from them, as in mere blink they went in and started to clash inside, after few moments, the house dissolved and it was revealed that a sword man was fighting the minions and mostly bandits were either slaughtered or flee from that area, well seeing the same scene that person described, surely made me feel strange, as it was feeling really strange but seeing them clash it was pretty interesting, as that man was feeling like a skilled swordsman, as he was holding on with these many ashoka's minions, alone but surely his movements were looking truly great, as I gestured towards ashoka to let me fight him, hearing it and seeing my gesture, he sighed and dissolved his minions, as seeing the minion disappear, he looked at our side and began to take out a smoking pipe and spoke " you people, i will give everyone, a moment of time to explain why you disturbed my sleep and if you caan't then my sword will start talking!" Seeing this type of attitude in front of us was surely interesting, but that person can be said to be either stupid or courageous, but in both cases, he didn't have a chance of survival if he fought with us, as Ashoka was the greatest necromancer in our continent, Niona was the witch of calamity, and Otaku was literally the god of void, and finally me, well, an average person like me—what can I even do to him, heh-heh! But I was more interested in knowing his story, as that old man was surely crafty and powerful, so there's no way he could have called us for a mere group of bandits or this above-average swordsman. As I spoke in a calm manner, "Sir, we don't know you, and you don't know us, as there was a strange old man that came to us for help to drag you all out from his house, as he stated that you guys forcefully entered his house and kicked him out, so we were here to inquire about it, but the moment we came here, that bastard went beyond the space rift, so I ask you to stop trying to fight us and think rationally!" Hearing my words surely broke his composure, but instead of listening, he started to charge at me. Well, I could just sigh and gesture towards Otaku to capture him. As in, with a mere flicker of hands, Otaku captured him without leaving any trace outside. Well, surely everyone was looking at me in disbelief that I could even talk rationally with any person, but what kind of freak do these bastards take me for? There's no way I am going around the world fucking their rule. Well, after settling matters with him, we started to look in this place carefully, as we were very sure that there should be at least something that person was hiding, as there's no way that for a house this rusty someone would make them cross the space rift. So we started to explore. As I saw that there were strange symbols under their houses, it surely made us wonder, as even Niona didn't even know about the letters, so it surely made me wonder if Otaku knew anything about them, so I called him to our side and showed him the symbol. Seeing the symbols, his expression darkened, and he spoke with deep expression, "Master, this is the language of us deities, and it is pretty high class, and even as this language is not taught to even low-level deities, and the words here are used in a ritual of converting the energy from this land to somewhere, as this ritual works more like a converter, but converting the energy of mortal realms is clearly forbidden because mortals already have a negligible amount of energy in their realm, and if we deities use that also, then your realms will perish due to misbalance in power. Master I think a major deity is included in this mess, as surely it will become a hassle if anyone in the divine or demon realm gets news that the mortal world is being used like this, as it can wage war to conquer your realm, so it is better to remove all the traces of it and investigate it sneakily."
