Chapter 83: Conquering Other Worlds

Conquest of the alternate world

I begin my conquest of the alternate world.

Originally, the story was about the middle stage, where the battles become more intense, and Mel, feeling the growing sense of crisis, returns to the alternate world alone to conquer the temple and obtain the power-up item.

However, a twist in the story disrupted that plan, so now I need to quickly secure the item. Speed is crucial, and this time, it's not about sightseeing; Mel and I are here for a specific purpose.

So first, we arrive in the alternate world. After that, we're supposed to greet the king...

"You've come a long way, hero from another world..."

The king of the country where Mel lives in this world, King Melphy. Well, I still see him as just a middle-aged man with wings on his back, and that perception hasn't changed from my past life to now.

Now, after listening to his words, I should head to the temple, and Mel will guide me there.

"There's a temple, you see. But to get there, you have to pass through the Forest of Perdition. It's an unexplored area that no one has conquered as of now. To find the correct route, you need to decipher the inscriptions on the shrine in Artemis. Furthermore, this is called the 'World Quest of the Star's Great Trial' given by the spirits to the fairies, and no fairy has managed to conquer it."

I know.

"The Forest of Perdition is a place where if you don't walk the right path, you'll be sent back to your starting point, and to know that path, you have to decipher the inscriptions at the shrine in Artemis. Furthermore, furthermore, this is a 'World Quest of the Star's Great Trial' given by the spirits to the fairies, and no fairy has managed to conquer it."

I know.

So now we've arrived at the Forest of Perdition. It's filled with dense mist, giving the impression of a deep forest. As Mel mentioned earlier, you need to follow the path marked on the shrine to reach the temple, but... I've read the scene where Mel conquers this area multiple times, so I've memorized the route perfectly.

"Hey, don't just start running like that!!!"

I sprint while clad in magic armor. The route is a straight path. Just straight. Even if there's a rock wall suddenly appearing, it's just an illusion, not real, so there's no need to worry. Furthermore, in this forest, if you exceed a certain amount of time, you're automatically sent back to the entrance, so I need to be careful.

This is a straightforward run, so I just run desperately.

And so, we arrived at the temple. Numerous mystical pillars are placed here, covered in moss, and it's a sanctuary with beautiful creatures resembling fireflies flying around —- a true sanctuary. The temple is divided into five types, each with its own trial:

Temple of the Abyss – Trial of Shame

Temple of Lightning – Quiz

Temple of the Deep Sea – Dungeon

Temple of Roaring Flame – Battle

Temple of Glory – Puzzle

Now, let's start with the Temple of Glory. Though it's covered in moss...

There are five types of temples, each built side by side. In the middle of them all is the Temple of Glory.

Now, this temple requires deciphering the codes surrounding it and then correctly pressing the various switches in order.

In the story, Mel spent a considerable amount of time conquering this temple. The code changes based on the time and weather.

Furthermore, there are three different codes written beside the panels, both horizontally and vertically. Each has a mysterious code in this world's ancient language, but I don't understand it. Normally, light novels don't explain the details of the languages in other worlds, after all.
