Journey to Planar World

The forest was silent, accompanied only by the gentle whisper of the wind through the leaves. Sunlight filtered through the gaps of the towering trees, creating dancing patterns of light on the moss-covered ground. The fresh scent of damp soil mingled with the fragrance of leaves and wildflowers growing untamed among the roots of ancient trees.

Birds sang melodiously, while the distant sound of trickling water hinted at a small river flowing peacefully. The forest seemed serene, untouched by the chaos of human civilization.

However, that tranquility was suddenly disrupted.

The air in the heart of the forest vibrated, as if reality itself began to distort. Space at one point folded and twisted, creating a swirling vortex of blue light that grew brighter. A soft hum filled the air, and then...

A young man emerged from nothingness.

He stepped out of the distortion of space-time, his white hair fluttering slightly in the wind.

The young man was none other than Charlie Avalon.

Raising his hand, he felt the cool breeze gently brushing against his skin.

”The air here is much cleaner than in the city...”

Suddenly, a stream of light flowed from his body, forming the figure of a girl.

Aishia.

The girl stood gracefully, her long peach-colored hair shimmering under the sunlight filtering through the leaves. Her gem-like eyes calmly surveyed the forest.

Suddenly, orbs of light in various colors appeared in the air, softly glowing among the trees. They moved slowly, circling Aishia in an elegant dance, as if drawn to her presence.

On the other hand, Charlie experienced the same phenomenon. Dozens of light orbs floated around him, spinning joyfully as if welcoming his arrival. With his Spirit Contractor magic, he immediately recognized that these light orbs were low-level spirits without consciousness.

”Amazing. There are so many spirits, drawn by their innate instincts.”

Charlie slowly raised his hand. One of the light orbs glowed brighter as it touched his skin, as if acknowledging his presence.

”Thanks to my Spirit Contractor magic, I can form contracts with spirits even though I’m not an Elementalist. Now, aside from the Demon King Solomon and Kazehaya Kamito, I am the third true male Elementalist. Unlike fake Elementalists like Jio Inzagi.”

After confirming that his Spirit Contractor magic worked, Charlie quickly recalled the important information he knew.

In this world, aside from the human-dominated realm, there is another world.

People call it Astral Zero.

It is a world inhabited by Spirits and Demons.

There are various spirits in Astral Zero with extraordinary abilities, and spirits have a close relationship with the human world.

The only ones who can communicate with spirits are pure and innocent girls among humans.

Girls who can communicate with spirits are called Elementalists.

Elementalists can use the contracts they form with spirits to summon spirits from Astral Zero to their side. By using spirits, they can achieve their goals in battles or other aspects of life.

After forming a contract with a spirit, an Elementalist can not only use the spirit’s magic but also command the spirit and even transform it into a weapon called an Elemental Waffe.

Thus, the hierarchy of women is higher than that of men. Facing women who possess spirits capable of wielding supernatural powers, men are powerless against Elementalists.

In this matriarchal world, many women view men merely as tools for reproduction. If women could give birth without needing men, a genocide against men would have long been carried out by extremist Elementalists.

However, a few hundred years ago, an anomaly appeared.

Somehow, a man managed to form a contract with a spirit and became an Elementalist. Even more surprising, it wasn’t just one or two spirits—he conquered 72 spirits!

Future generations called him the Demon King Solomon.

He waged war across the continent with the 72 powerful spirits under his command, bringing chaos and destruction to the land.

Hundreds of years later, although the deeds of the Demon King Solomon are still widely known, most people consider them mere legends.

And there is another person passed down alongside this legend.

The Elementalist who defeated the calamity-bringing Demon King Solomon and was hailed as the Sacred Queen who saved the world.

Areishia Idriss!

And the weapon used by the Sacred Queen to kill the Demon King also became widely known as a legend.

It is what the world calls...—the Demon King Killing Sacred Sword, or more commonly known as the Demon Slayer.

This is the true reason Charlie came to the world of Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance—to obtain the Demon King Killing Sacred Sword.

He wanted the beautiful silver-haired girl as a mascot... Ahem, the true power of the spirit that once contracted with the Sacred Queen is unquestionable.

”Well, how do we find the location of the temple that seals the Demon King Killing Sacred Sword? We only have less than three hours, and we must avoid confronting the locals of this world to avoid wasting time. After all, our time is limited. Any suggestions, Aishia?”

Surrounded by a tropical forest, Charlie only remembered the plot but had no knowledge of the geographical layout. If he searched for the temple blindly, he feared he would return empty-handed.

”Embarrassed to ask, lost on the road. That’s a proverb from your country, Charlie.”

”It’s just the two of us. I’ve already used Wind Spirit Art to detect, but there’s no one within a 1000-meter radius. Who should I ask?”

”Charlie doesn’t have to ask humans. Aren’t there many living creatures around here?”

”Hm?”

Following Aishia’s gaze, Charlie saw two birds flirting with each other on a tree branch.

”Even birds have found true love... Wait a minute!”

”It seems Charlie has figured it out. You can communicate with animals after acquiring the Crystallized Wisdom skill.”

”Thanks for the reminder, Aishia. I completely forgot about it.”

Then, Charlie and Aishia approached the tree.

This was his first time using Crystallized Wisdom, so Charlie was a bit awkward at first.

Perhaps the Goddess of Luck was on his side, as the two birds knew the location of the temple Charlie was seeking.

After promising food, the birds agreed to guide them to the temple.

So, Charlie and Aishia ran through the forest, following the birds flying in the air.

The forest landscape, filled with obstacles, posed no difficulty for the two. Charlie even asked the birds to fly as fast as they could, not worrying that he and Aishia couldn’t keep up.

”KYAAAAA...!!!”

’Hm? A woman’s scream? Forget it, I have more pressing matters.’

After reaching Level 4, all of Charlie’s senses were greatly enhanced, including his hearing. He could hear the embarrassed and angry screams of a woman in the distance.

Under normal circumstances, he would have gone to investigate. However, he could only stay in this world for three hours. Until his goal was achieved, he didn’t want to get involved in other people’s affairs.

Charlie heartlessly ignored a woman who might need help?

Sorry, but the happiness of some is often built on the suffering of others.

So, he wouldn’t sacrifice his interests for strangers.
