The sound seemed to vanish at that moment, and a sharp pain swirled in Kanzaki Teru's mind.
It was as if they wanted to completely tear his brain apart, leaving no room for anything else.
"Is it still a bit of a stretch to use 3717 as a backup?"
The excruciating pain vanished without a trace the next second, as if it had never existed at all.
However, the lingering feeling clearly told Kanzaki Hikaru that what he had just experienced was not a hallucination.
"What was that just now!?"
Looking at WL in front of him, Kanzaki Teru tried hard to suppress his emotions.
"Reality."
"How can this be!"
"Reality."
To reiterate, WL expressed his meaning using only the simplest of sentences.
"That's impossible! I still remember that day perfectly."
I even remember the temperature of my mother's body! My mother never said anything like that that day.
His emotions seemed about to burst forth, and Kanzaki Hikaru's tone was somewhat agitated, but before that, there were more important issues to resolve...
"It's not yet time."
With a gentle push, a force once again repelled Kanzaki Hikaru out of this space.
"Damn it!"
That roar was probably only audible to Kanzaki Teru himself.
Feeling the somewhat cold ground behind him, Kanzaki Teru knew that he had returned to reality.
However, this situation was really hard for Kanzaki Teru to understand. It was a memory that had never appeared before, but it seemed so real.
If that's a lie, then what is the other party's purpose?
Unable to understand, unable to think, unable to imagine...
Countless thoughts filled Kanzaki Teru's mind, but he couldn't figure out the reasons behind them.
Only tears streamed down his face, a bitter resentment that belonged only to him.
Whoosh—a gust of cold wind blew past Kanzaki Hikaru's body, causing him to shiver involuntarily.
"Although it's autumn, it's a bit too cold."
It was this cold air that calmed Kanzaki Teru's mind a little.
As he said this, Kanzaki Teru opened his eyes.
However, when he saw the scene before him, his brain froze for a few seconds before he grasped the situation.
"Did it work? This must be a parallel world..."
Looking around, Kanzaki Teru felt the biting cold wind and shivered slightly.
"But it's really cold."
Sensing the surrounding temperature, Kanzaki Teru made a preliminary judgment that this world should be in the winter season.
However, there was a slight sense of unease in the surroundings, but before that...
Chapter 407: Cold Wind
"Where are they?"
The three of them hugged each other during the transfer.
Only Kanzaki Teru was using his ability, so he didn't stand too close to the others.
Based on this, it's possible that something went wrong during the transfer, leading to the current situation.
"Achoo—it's definitely getting a bit cold."
A gust of cold wind blew by, and this time Kanzaki Teru sneezed.
"Let's find some clothes to wear first."
Kanzaki Teru was actually wearing quite a lot of clothes, after all, his body temperature was already relatively high, and he had undergone special training.
So under normal circumstances, even in the slightly chilly autumn, he can go out wearing short sleeves without any problem.
In winter, you only need to add a coat to keep warm, but in this world, the temperature is frighteningly low.
Although the temperature is measured only on the skin surface, it is already at least minus twenty degrees Celsius here.
The cold wind blowing against Kanzaki Teru at this temperature was really unbearable.
"Why is it so cold?"
Even in winter, the coldest temperature is only around minus twenty degrees Celsius.
However, it now appears that the temperature is not only not going to warm up, but is even trending towards getting colder.
"If it's those few people..."
Recalling the thin clothes worn by Illya and the other two, Kanzaki Teru was also a little worried.
If they were exposed to such low temperatures directly, they would very likely catch a cold.
It's even possible that they could die outside due to the rapid temperature drop.
Although he was somewhat worried, Kanzaki Teru was still unable to determine their location.
And although he seems a bit unreliable, he is still a legitimate and renowned magician.
With this thought in mind, Kanzaki Teru headed ahead into the city. He figured he wouldn't die for that reason.
Snowflakes were constantly falling from the sky; although they weren't heavy, they still somewhat affected visibility.
The ground was already covered with snow, and when you stepped on it, the snowflakes were so deep that they went all the way up to Kanzaki Hikaru's ankles.
Just how desolate is this place...?
Even though we had already reached the city center, for some reason, there wasn't a single person on the streets.
They thought everyone was staying home because of the heavy snow, but when Kanzaki Teru closed his eyes and sensed the atmosphere around him...
However, they found that there was not a single person in the huge city, and this unusual scene made Kanzaki Teru feel a sense of unease.
Or rather, this is no longer just a simple sense of incongruity; something truly enormous has definitely happened.
Although there was no one in the city, there were unusual footprints in the snow.
Even Kanzaki Teru couldn't tell what kind of creature's footprints they were; he had never seen them before.
"Since there's no one here..."
After apologizing, Kanzaki Teru simply broke into a random restaurant.
The room looked like it had been abandoned for a long time; even the doorknobs were rusty.
Upon entering the house, a large amount of dust floated in the room.
If I had to put it in perspective, the room and the outside of the room are even somewhat similar.
Because the dust inside the room had also accumulated into a thick layer, exactly the same as the snow outside.
Kanzaki Teru casually picked out two thick clothes to wear. Although the styles were a bit outdated and even a little too small, Kanzaki Teru had no other choice but to wear them to keep warm.
Gurgle—but before the coldness in his body, Kanzaki Teru's stomach was the first to protest.
Starting yesterday, Kanzaki Teru ate a crepe.
For Kanzaki Teru, an eighteen-year-old still growing body, one crepe is simply not enough.
"Sniff, this is..."
As if arranged by heaven, a fragrance wafted from afar.
He closed his eyes and looked around again, but this time he only looked in the direction from which the fragrance was coming.
Kanzaki Hikaru's detection range is limited, but if it's only in one direction, it can increase the distance.
Then Kanzaki Teru sensed the presence of a human in the distance, a discovery that relieved him.
After all, if there is no one at all, then the city is a complete ghost town.
This unusual situation is actually quite dangerous, but the fact that someone is still living here at least proves that it is not as dangerous as imagined.
"Let's go, maybe we can fill our stomachs."
Despite having this thought, just as Kanzaki Teru was about to leisurely walk over, he discovered an extremely serious problem.
Just as he was about to shut down his detection ability, he suddenly sensed several more presences.
Chapter 408: Ramen That Can Kill People
However, these auras were not human auras, and each aura was exceptionally strange and powerful.
Upon realizing this, Kanzaki Teru immediately activated his ability.
After all, this type of aura is definitely considered quite powerful.
Faced with such a large group of enemies, that person might not have any power to resist at all.
So Kanzaki Teru kept activating his teleportation ability, and in just a few seconds he teleported hundreds of meters away.
They arrived at their destination in the blink of an eye, but what they saw before them surprised Kanzaki Teru even more.
"Wow, it's shocking that there are still people in this city."
"You're the one who's more surprising!"
Even Kanzaki Teru hadn't expected that the other person's first words would be like that, but that wasn't what surprised him.
What truly shocked Kanzaki Teru was the scene unfolding before his eyes: a vast number of corpses of creatures lying haphazardly on the ground.
Even Kanzaki Teru had never seen these strange creatures before. Each of them had horns, like wolves, but no fur.
Or rather, what covers them is not fur, but a kind of magic.
However, even such a monster was no match for the person in front of it.
