Anime, starting from Re:Zero (Zero - Starting Life)

But this is obviously a summoning ritual. Could the aftermath of the ritual alone have the level of water god-level magic?

If Gao Wen hadn't cared about the safety of his relatives and friends, he would have laughed out loud.

Never been so excited!

Never been more excited!

He suppressed his fighting spirit and awakened the two confused people:

"allow..."

A flash of incandescent light suddenly entered his sight, and Gawain's good mood froze instantly. He raised his hand and grabbed the dagger that was stabbing at Rudy. The faint smile he had just put on now looked dangerous.

"What do you want to do to my friend?"

The man in the fox mask looked over in disbelief, then turned into light and flashed behind Gawain, switching to his primary target.

But the fox man who had just completed the speed of light movement met Gawain's eyes again. Under the other party's sarcastic gaze, he was beheaded by the knife before he could dodge.

"Did you think the speed of light would render me unable to react? You flea from the human world."

It was not until the fox man's body turned into a point of light and reassembled in the distance that Rudy and Sylphy's brains barely processed the few frames of images captured by their eyes.

Rudy shrank his head subconsciously:

"Brother Gao Wen, I hope you won't hit me on the head with your knife again. It's a bit scary."

Sylphy raised her hand swiftly, took out the magic spear and fired a shot with ten times the acceleration. Although the opponent dodged at the first moment, half of his abdomen was directly shot away, and he turned into a point of light waiting to gather again.

Realizing that ordinary physical attacks were ineffective, Gawain was too lazy to waste time with the opponent:

"Who are you? Did you arrange this summoning ritual?"

Hearing this question, the other party was stunned for a moment, put away his weapon as if surrendering, and quickly explained:

"I am the glorious Almanfi, a familiar of the Armored Dragon King Pergius. I have been ordered by the Armored Dragon King to investigate this matter and eliminate all suspicious individuals."

"It seems..."

Just at this moment.

The dark red gem suddenly shrank inward.

Just like Gawain's ice-blue eyes at this moment.

He casually threw a punch, and with the wind from his fist, he blasted Almanfi, who was not sure whether he was a friend or foe, and the vast grassland behind him into dust. Then he came to Rudy's ear and said to him:

"Go back to Alice."

He helped Rudy activate all the protective shields on his body, including the Weixing technology that he had not told Rudy, and then kicked Rudy lightly to dozens of times the speed of sound, causing him to fly backwards towards Roya City.

With Gawain's speed of thinking, he even had time to see Rudy's confused expression, Almanfi quickly and completely dissipating into light particles, the eight swirling clouds flashing madly with dirty colors, and Sylphy trying hard to turn her head and look at him.

He even had time to think about what everyone in Buena Village should do, how he could get there in time, what to do in Roya City, whether Rudy could handle it, and what purpose this thing had appeared to achieve.

Something is completely wrong.

Gawain picked up Sylphy and covered her with gravity manipulation.

Something is completely wrong.

The vortex cloud with a diameter of 400 kilometers was sucked into the place where the orb disappeared within 0.2 seconds.

Something is completely wrong.

This is indeed a summoning ritual, but something has gone wrong! What has gone wrong? A vast cloud, brewing rich magical energy, is being extracted...

Yes, Gawain raised his eyes, and his magic eyes could no longer see any trace of magic in the sky.

He used his magic to tear open the air towards Buena Village as much as possible, throwing off as much resistance as possible to accelerate himself to the limit. In one second? Two seconds? Three seconds, he could be back...home.

Yes, that thing still requires magic.

The summoning ritual was incomplete, lacking a huge amount of magic power. It should have failed under these circumstances, but for some reason it was forcibly activated.

Gawain thought with gritted teeth.

A pillar of light piercing the sky blasted down from the core of the ceremony, then spread out to the surroundings at nearly the speed of light.

That wasn't a speed the Vitrum couldn't touch.

But Gawain was out of time.

The figures of mom and dad leading the villagers to escape have appeared in the corner of the vision. They are very small, even smaller than ants, like two anxious pixels.

Gawain did not catch up with the light.

Luo Qixi's journey home

A known:

The Holy Sword Avenue is approximately 5000 km long.

(Refers to the distance from Milicion to the entrance of the Great Forest, excluding the Holy Sword Avenue section inside the Great Forest.)

The Kingdom of Asura is larger than the real United States.

It takes about two months to travel by carriage from the Red Dragon's Jaw to Fitoya Territory.

In the original work, where walking was the main method, it took four months to get from Eastern Port to the Kingdom of Shillong, and another four months to reach the Jaw of the Red Dragon. The distances of these two sections were almost the same as crossing the Kingdom of Asura.

It can be roughly estimated that the distance from Fitoya County to Licaris City is about 45000-50000 km along the main road in the map.

If Lokisi cruised at 250km/h, it would only take 180 hours to reach Licalis City. If she continued flying, it would only take about 8 days to reach her hometown.

————Set to 200km/h cruising speed, 50000km range, the required flight time is 250h————

【Itinerary Segments】

1. Feitoya received the Red Dragon's Jaw

2. Red Dragon Jaw to Eastern Port

3. Arrive at Western Port by boat

4. Traveling through the Holy Kingdom of Milis

5. Pass the Holy Sword Avenue

6. Sand and Gravel Port to Victory Port

7. Crossing the Demon Continent to Reach Licaris City

【Segment Overview】

Leave on April 4th.

1. The straight-line distance is about 10000 km, and the flight takes 50 hours.

Inside the Kingdom of Asura, Lokisi would use at least half of her magic power to travel every day, but she would also land earlier or later in the suburbs of cities along the way according to the map, and rest in the town until the next day, and then walk or take a carriage to the suburbs to set off again.

(Around April 16) It took Loki twelve days to reach the Jaw of the Red Dragon, and she rested there for a day, and then spent another day crossing the Jaw of the Red Dragon (around April 18).

2. The zigzag distance is about 18000 km, and the flight takes 90 hours.

Passing through seven nations, Roxy abandoned flying and relied on a carriage when approaching the capitals of each country. Due to a penny-pinching habit, she would buy souvenirs in each nation's major cities and capitals, calculate her savings, then visit the Adventurer's Guild to see if there were any good jobs she could find. Finally, using the need to make a name for herself as an excuse to conquer the maze solo, she convinced herself to do so.

I cleared almost four medium and large mazes and nine small mazes in seven countries alone. In order to avoid being envied and avoiding a large number of recruitments, I kept fleeing to the next country. I actually enjoyed this process very much.

Two extra months were spent in carriages, on foot, and in extra stays in the city.

In this area, Lokixi only dared to use a quarter of her magic power to fly every day. Adding the distance for gliding and landing, each flight consumed about 2 hours of magic power, and the total distance was more than 500km. Putting aside the distance traveled by other means, it took a month to cover most of the distance.

But it took almost three months to complete the maze.

Then, I spent almost ten days trying to find the place where Gawain described him being picked up, and to find out why Elinarize picked up Gawain. (I received a commission to investigate the meteor.)

Arrived at Eastern Port on November 4th.

After resting for 3 days, Luo Qixi, who was well prepared, boarded the boat.

3. The voyage took three months as the ship made numerous stops and reached the western port.

Arrived in Miris on February 8, 415 of the Ankylosaur calendar.

4. The distance to the main road is about 10000 km.

The entire carriage journey takes two months.

In the Holy Kingdom of Milis, in order to avoid being shot down as an enemy, Lokisi had to move through other means the entire time. In addition, because the demons were discriminated against, it was difficult to find a carriage willing to ride in areas near big cities and the capital.

To avoid unnecessary complications, Lokisi spent over three months traveling across the Holy Kingdom of Milis. (Originally, she wanted to visit old friends, so she reserved time to avoid the rainy season.)

Arrived at Holy Sword Avenue on May 21, 415 of the Jialong calendar.

5. Holy Sword Avenue 5000km+.

Since the whole route was safe and straight, Loki continued to keep her magic power at more than half and did not stay any longer. It took her four days to cross the Holy Sword Avenue.

January 25, 415 in the Jialong calendar.

Afterwards, they waited for the end of the rainy season at the settlement of the Long-eared Tribe and spent several days leaving the big forest.

On June 30, 415 of the Jialong calendar, we arrived at Sand and Gravel Port.

6. It took a day to prepare and fly across the channel.

On July 1, 415 of the Jialong calendar, we arrived at Victory Port.

7. About 14000 km, the flight takes 70 hours.

In the dangerous Demon Continent, Lokisi would try to conserve three-quarters of her magic power and travel as fast as possible, so it took about 30 days to reach the city of Licaris.

Stay in the city of Lycaris for about three days.

On August 6, 415 of the Ankylosaur calendar, he left the city of Licaris.

8. On August 9, 415 of the Jialong calendar, he returned to his hometown.

----------------------

----------------------

It took Lokixi 16 months to return home.

To sum up, if Roxy travels at full speed for safety, it will take about 9 months to return to Roya City from her hometown (avoiding the rainy season).

End of volume remarks

I originally just wanted to write a fanfiction where Sylphy's storyline was more extensive and more dominant, at least that was one of the core goals.

Therefore, Gawain was set to be Lorz's adopted son and Sylphy's older brother.

But when I started writing the first volume, I realized a serious problem. That is, Sylphy in the first half of the Buena Village period was completely still a child. She was completely unable to drive the plot forward with her own subjective initiative, and she even lacked the possibility of appearing on a large scale.

Even Gawain is difficult to portray in detail. After all, the brother and sister are still little kids. It is difficult to control Gawain's transformation and Sylphy's growth rate.

In the second volume, since the two old men had overcome their mid-life crisis and started a new life in the previous volume, this volume should have been the home court of the brother and sister, especially Sylphy, whose age was barely enough to sit at the table.

However, due to the limitations of age and the speed of change in thinking, as well as the evil Rudy and the assassin Lan who took up too much space, Sylphy's story is still not as long as I imagined.

Moreover, Sylphy, who has completely deviated from the growth environment of the original work, is almost a new character who has inherited some of the basic tones of the original character. Sometimes when I write, I also worry about whether such a portrayal will go astray or appear exaggerated.

Fortunately, Sylphy in this game also has her own problems and crises. Her growth arc and changes in personal thoughts are traceable and logical.

But it is precisely to enrich Sylphy's arc in this work.

This is why the plot of Sylphy in this volume has irreversibly changed from "I want to create a beautiful world where Sylphy can be the main wife, has a lot of sweet plots, and is not hurt" to "What is needed for creation is anger, jealousy and murderous intent."

I'm sorry, Sylphy.
