Chapter 93: Space Magic Is Not That Hard
I continued looking at the giants being paraded on the streets, they were being swayed by muscular guys as if they were twigs.
This parade cannot be related to Urduja, she is not that tall after all, nor does she, according to the history said to me by the prophet of the god of the undead, have any power related to gigantification.
[But everyone's taller than you, how can you say that?]
I have this overdue theory that Urduja hails from my motherland or at least in Southeast Asia, or if not, there is a country in this world that has the same culture as her, the land I can see as the closest is Indio (the rebellion and all) but because it is against slavery, it is more like the United States.
Just as I was saying that mine and Momoiro's eyes widened before they returned to normal after just a slit second, I raised my eyebrow and then squinted my eyes as I continued to normally watch the street dance while I connect my eyes to Kabuto, surely, I can see my back as I did so together with Kabuto's words: "Master, I think I need not report anything to you, I will leave this matter to you."
I replied with an: "Alright, good job." as I hung up, I pretended to look at a lady and smirked a little, in response, the lady blushed a little and continued dancing while looking bashful (and I admit, that was cute) well, I can't reveal myself now, can I?
_Yes, state visits are fun, but I doubt I can do it often, so I will be sure to satisfy myself to the fullest._
Momoiro looked at me deadpan as she normally is, but some of its eyes were darting towards her back, which seemed to not be sensed by the person who was watching us, I also looked at her eyes and then her lips, back to her eyes as I crept my hand into her waist, it is quite amusing how all of her eyes swept across my hand that is grabbing her, but I ignored it as I started to take the lead and walked towards our destination.
[Is waist grabbing her necessary?]
Shut up and give me the map of Urduja.
[3rd Person POV]
In a certain place of all blue with geometric lines widely known by mages as the 4th dimension, a man inhaled a deep one and suspended his breathing even though he was huffing hard just moments ago, after a minute or two, the man stabilized himself, an evidence of his adeptness to such actions and great constitution of his race a man who can do such feats is not a human.
_Being a devil is just convenient for this occasions..._
The devil spy after doing the simple preparation for his espionage started to move forward in the "space" he was in to accomplish the mission his leader, Hebi Tsukaiza had given to him. The mission says as such: "Tail Sophia Demiurge using escape as your primary priority and measure how many meters will she be able to realize that she is being followed, of course, because she is a being higher than Kabuto, you have to use your Space Magic."
The first one he followed is the spy/assassin of Sophia, Kabuto, and the said target just needed ten meters to discover someone was following him, now normally he would never be discovered by people when he is inside the 4th dimension however, the devil that he is, plus the fact that his leader is the strongest soldier of Loki, his lord, he knew how to limit his confidence, plus even though he is one of the rare ones "chosen by fate" that can acquire Space Magic from the system, the truth is, from the moment he got it until now he is only in level two because he really cannot understand the concept of space, nor there are any scholar who can describe it comprehensive enough to systematize the knowledge about space magic even elves cannot, that is why, he cannot utilize the vast potential of the magic and can only use it to hide in the 4th dimension, he's not even using fourth dimension as a name and just calls the space "Blue space".
_But still, because of it, I am regarded as one who has the greatest potential, we have a long lifespan so I have forever when I retired as a spy to learn it._
He lamented and looked at the couple who started to eat street foods again, at that moment, he did not feel nor see anything strange to the people he was following, he was just casually puffing his cheeks sitting in an Indian seat, and stared at the sugar and rainbows the two are creating as they smiled happily while eating skewered sweet potatoes.
_I am not jealous, nope, I am not..._
The spy unconsciously muttered as such in his mind, distracting himself from the thoughts of what happened earlier, he instead analyzed the man who caused him to be almost out of his breath, Kabuto, the spy of the Queen of Kamatayan and the person that will become Hebi's opponent, honestly, he still have some lingering fear over that person. First, the undead discovered his pursuit 10 meters in, the spy shuddered immediately at that moment, but that was not the end of it, Kabuto suddenly gave pursuit that of course Hebi's spy immediately felt, it was like being chased by a lion, but that lion doesn't roar, doesn't breath and is not looking for his meal, it was a lion that will just chase him for the rest of his life.
And of course, by instinct, the guy relied on his space magic and finally lost his pursuer and the perfect thing is that he appeared in front of his mission, Sophia.
_Why is Captain Hebi want me to do this again?_
The guy wondered for a while and then suddenly made an "Ah" sound in his mind.
_That's right, she said that if there is such a servant, then there is such a lord. So basically, she wants to measure the strength of her potential opponent by telling how strong the lady of her opponent is, well that is quite clever and except for the fact that I don't know how Sophia discovered our existence in Gjallarhorn, it is something to be expected from captain... She is taking her time._
The spy squinted her eyes as his lungs started to ache, it was already an hour and over a kilometer of repeated stops to eat, giggles and almost lips-to-lips since he started tailing but it was as if they were not even aware of his existence, it was weird, he checked his stats but it was the same as ever, there is no addition of a level in space magic nor any of his stealth skills that is forcibly developed by his early life training.
_What is going on...?_
Alongside his aching lungs, his heart suddenly throbbed a bad feeling enveloping the celebrated spy not only by his captain but also by the lady and lord of Valentine themselves. He only has about 30 minutes to loiter in the 4th dimension and he is still very near the target, the worst thing is that the target is still flirting with her "second wife" (as what other people assume).
_Shit, I think something is wrong._
And indeed, the moment he said those words, it was like a cue to the two people he was following, the lady with a lot of eyes suddenly spoke.
"So Sophia, do you have any idea when will he appear?"
The spy's eyes immediately widened whilst Sophia replied with her ever so casual smile and sticky stare.
"Any moment now."
At this moment, the man who was spying on them started to palpitate, his heart raced and his lungs were close to erupting, if not for his devil constitution then he would have already died, the 4th dimension around him started to sizzle and the space in the back of Sophia started to ripple, Momoiro and Sophia looked at it whilst the guy inside shouted in mind.
_I HAVE BEEN DISCOVERED THE MOMENT I STARTED FOLLOWING THEM!?_
That was all he could say before he fell to the ground out of his "hiding spot" in front of the two couples, the two stared at him, Sophia was smiling while Momoiro's eyes on her face (including her forehead) were covered with veins, the man cannot even look at the future predicament he is about to be in, Sophia immediately backed away as she saw the eyes in the arms and legs of Momoiro full of veins too.
After a full five seconds, the man looked ahead of him and saw the glowing eyes of Momoiro glowing in a rainbow shine.
"Ahh..."
The man grunted for he felt a pain in his head, but that pain immediately intensified.
"AHHHH!"
Such a shout startled all bystanders but seeing that it was one of the daughters of Lady Urduja, they let her be for they knew that no daughter of their Lady is unreasonable enough to punish people without a reason, but still, Momoiro is quite terrifying when she is mad, so they still ran as fast as possible, surely their decision was correct for when the street finally got empty.
"AAAGHK!?"
The head of the spy exploded.
"That went longer than expected, he is not human."
[Sophia's POV]
_That is your commentary after you make his head explode?_
[You really like them weird huh?]
That was the only thing that me and [Guide] could say as the two of us looked at her. I just dismissed such thoughts and walked forward a little bit and touched a part of the skull that is most intact, figuratively speaking, of course. Anyway, I am quite sure that I can't memorize the exact number of flesh that comes out of a head that just exploded, but I actually can right now, who knows being a hero will make my brain even more powerful.
[It is actually n- OOWW! FUCK, ALRIGHT I CAN'T SAY IT!]
... Another weird tick from [Guide], but I already resurrected the head of the guy and let Momoiro explain.
"From how he looks like, he seems to be a devil... Well, I don't need to ask if you protected your territory enough, but I think we have to cut our tour short and report this to Mother."
Momoiro seemed to lower her head a little when she said that, even all of her eyes simultaneously looked down, she seemed to be sad, I feel guilty because I am quite happy because I get to use one of my unique skills, well that unique skill is mostly useless because I can most probably understand and copy things without relying on it, but anyway, here's what I got:
[Notice: Via Unique Skill [Observe], Magic skill [Space Magic Acquired.]
[Notice: Fallen Hero Sophia Demiurge is detected to have a full understanding of the concept of space, she is given full access to the abilities of space magic.]
Well, I am happy because Space magic is not that hard, I mean except for gods that are in the 4th, 5th, 6th, etc. dimension, space is 2d, 3d, and 4d, the basics of quantum mechanics can explain this magic, with that, I tried to inject mana into the ground and draw a stickman and give him breath, he waved his hand on me and then started following me, I dispersed him immediately.
[That's just ridiculous.]
I call it high school science, but people in this place call it the most complicated magic to ever exist, also I realized that flame, water, and earth here work differently from their earth counterparts, meaning that our science about dimensions is mostly correct.
[You're a registered physicist, shut up.]
Ok ok, I'm sorry, As I was having a conversation, we finally reached the mansion of Urduja, Momoiro still looked sad, I wondered how many people could see such a face of hers, I patted her head and then smiled.
"Well, we can always continue next time, though if you are saying that this man is a devil, then we have to cancel our plans at least for the whole day, do you understand?"
Momoiro looked at me for a moment and then nodded, I said "Good" as we continued to enter the mansion, while I was shaking the smiling head unconsciously, I looked at the ceiling.
_I enjoyed my time with another lady other than my wife, I wonder if that is fine._
Well, It is not like that matters right now, so I set that aside and then went to sit in a room with a sofa and table.
I was left alone by Momoiro given the fact that the country closer to Valentine is mine, so I have the legal jurisdiction of any information this head will divulge to me.
"Well, are you ready?"
I put the head on the table whilst I sat on a sofa, I then asked, unsurprisingly, the head replied.
"YES MASTER!"
People I turn into undeads become my simp, you know.
