Chapter: 637
I watch the trembling, angry Piglet and think about how it will use Agra’s authority.
The usual way is to use its unique immortality. An opponent that doesn’t die is a hassle in itself. As seen before, even the weak monsters that disappear with a flinch have turned into terror by gaining immortality.
If monsters like Benedict or Lasha stand on the other side with immortality, it would be a disaster. I wonder if even the Lord could solve such a disaster. However, regardless of strength, this behavior is undesirable for a dungeon boss. Since this is a dungeon, there must be a strategy against immortality.
Honestly, if it just charges in with an immortal body, I’ll show my disappointment by whittling away its body, personality, and soul. But I doubt the Piglet will act so recklessly.
According to that fool’s thinking, I’m a girl who overcame trials with the Lord’s help, right? It wouldn’t dare to rely solely on immortality, so now the remaining thing is to fight using the Authority of the End.
What can it do? Could it show me something more disgusting than what I’ve seen?
“Are you trembling because you’re scared and peeing your pants?♡”
When it grinned and asked, a chill ran down my spine. Following my instincts, I raised my shield just as a strong impact pushed me slightly backward. So it knows the basics of using it?
“I’ll kill you last.”
“Why?♡ Is it hard for you to stand up in front of others?♡ Such a lewd little shame, huh?♡ So cute!♡”
I boost my divine power and heighten my senses to the limit. Then, I channel the Authority of Embrace into my armor, leading all attacks towards me.
Agra’s Authority of the End is, as the name implies, related to the end of all things. Therefore, it can shoot magic aimed at the end, striking right where it should slowly arrive.
It can make a bullet appear right in front of my forehead. This power is ridiculously OP, but there is still a way to deal with it.
Ultimately, the point of impact is determined when the magic is activated. If I see the magic being cast and redirect it with the Authority of Embrace, I can block it with my shield.
After forcibly changing the direction of the curse shot by the Piglet, I smile at the frowning Piglet.
“Do you want to strip off my armor that badly?♡”
The excited Piglet’s gaze never leaves me. It’s not his fault. The Mesugaki Skill doesn’t weaken even under the Lord’s authority and it’s a provocation that even the Dark Evil God couldn’t handle.
But even if it’s not his fault, my friends are not the kind to let it slide.
As Arthur’s sword nears, the Piglet’s head rises into the air. The confused expression in the decapitated head proves he hadn’t sensed this ambush at all.
“Frey!”
“Let’s bet on how many times I’ll swing.”
“I refuse! I’ll lose!”
The attacks don’t end.
Frey and Arthur swing their swords at the floating head. No matter which side, the speed of their swings is astonishingly fast, but their swords never touch each other.
These two have sparred whenever they had time. They know how each other swings their swords so well that they naturally sync without saying anything.
The Piglet, scattered into dust, reappears, but this time in the place Joy prepared her magic.
It’s been led there. To be swallowed by darkness.
To be stuck in an abyss, regretting its own immortality.
“What a trivial trick!”
Of course, the King emerged from the darkness. His Evil God authority is real.
Having absorbed part of the Evil God’s fragment, would he be swallowed by magic prepared on the spot?
However, it must have felt threatened. It must have realized that if its power weakened, it might truly wander in the abyss.
“You pieces of the kingdom!”
With the Piglet’s rage, the walls around us collapsed and the soldiers we had left began to wrap around us.
Is this the second phase?
“I hereby declare that this place has become the sacred ground of the great Lord!”
As Phoebe declared the Divine Realm, the soldiers were pushed back.
They were spawned by Agra’s authority. Once they step inside, they’ll melt away like ice cream.
Just because it’s Piglet doesn’t mean it’s unaffected. Holding the fragment of the Evil God, it can’t help but feel pressure within this space.
The only thing that cannot be helped by Agra’s authority is the Divine Realm.
Well, it can’t completely block it, though.
“Do you think you can stop me with this? Ha. How laughable!”
As it raised its hand, the swords held by Frey and Arthur snapped with a crack, scattering into pieces.
Joy’s staff breaks in half.
Though their clothes seem like they’re holding up, due to the divine blessing endowed on their bodies, it won’t be long before they lose their lives.
“Pray that the Lord’s grace does not end. The moment it disappears, you will meet the same fate as your weapons.”
This is precisely why facing Evil God Agra feels undignified. All the carefully prepared equipment turns to dust.
“Prince, do you have another sword?”
“I have one in my space pocket, but will it matter?”
“If you do something with your aura…”
“Here.”
I took out a sword from my inventory and threw it to Frey.
Frey, easily catching the handle, gazed at the sword I gave her with eager eyes as if she had found her destined love.
She seems to like the sword containing the miracles of the mythical age.
“It’s not free. If you mess up, be prepared. Foolish swordsman.”
“…okay!”
As Frey infused the sword with her aura, a colorless aura clung to the white blade. Something invisible, felt only by its pressure.
Then, as Frey swung the sword filled with her aura, the Piglet’s body was split in half.
“I’ll hold you to that!”
I shall vow once again. I will never fight with Frey again. Absolutely not.
As I raised my shield while reaffirming this decision, I locked eyes with Arthur.
“What?”
“No, um. What is it?”
“Ah! Right. I had something to give to the useless prince.”
“Is that so?”
I approached Arthur, who looked at me with anticipation, and whispered into his ear.
“Huh!? What?”
“A reward♡”
“Do we have time to play?”
As the resurrected Piglet shouted in annoyance, I grinned defiantly.
“Are you feeling jealous of your son?♡ Puhaha♡ So that’s why you tried to take it!♡ Our Piglet is ugly!♡ A peanut!♡ A premature ejaculator!♡ Smells bad!♡ Not manly at all!♡”
Unable to endure it, our Piglet charged at me. It had applied the authorities that had acted on magic onto itself.
However, unfortunately for it, its hostility was thick enough not to notice, allowing me to meet it with my mace. The Piglet’s body is slammed outside the Divine Realm.
“Just a sloppy pervert who can’t even do perverted stuff properly~♡”
The moment Piglet’s gaze, having gotten up far away, meets mine, ecstasy flows in.
The logic it lost in the air inadvertently declares: it’s a pathetic slop who desperately wants to dominate a small girl.
“Dare.”
“Are you mad?♡”
“Dare.”
“Do you want me to let you know you’re a little kid?♡”
“Dare!”
“Try it♡ If you can, that is♡ Sloppy Piglet♡”
The Piglet, whose reason had taken flight, tried to attack me in every way.
It poured out its own magic and curses, delaying the end, disrupting the balance by declaring an end to the earth, even temporarily mimicking the edge of nothingness, and ending the light.
The way it used its ability, for someone who was experiencing Divine God authority for the first time, was impressively skilled.
But that was it.
I could encourage it.
I could clap and say it was creative.
But that’s all it was.
No matter how many ways it tried to become difficult, a smile never left my lips.
Even while ignoring the attacks directed at it.
No matter how much that thing struggled, it was nothing compared to the evil I had seen in humans.
In the end, it’s a third-rate villain. Just like a sloppy pig.
While I handled the frenzied pig, my friends kept butchering it.
Its arms. Its body. Its legs. Just like how we turned its head to dust before, they disassembled it until we finally uncovered.
The fragments of the Evil God that were permeating Piglet’s body. After identifying the weakness, I made eye contact with my friends.
Then, I pretended to stumble and staggered.
Objectively speaking, it wasn’t a great act.
If Piglet had any reason left, it would surely have noticed how sloppy it was.
But the Piglet was in a lustful state, blind to everything, focusing only on base instincts, not rational judgment.
I saw the sword the Piglet swung. Ignoring the process, I watched the sword reach me.
It didn’t even realize it was being led.
Three. Two. One.
Now.
With a ping, the sword flew upwards, and the disgusting Piglet’s body was completely unveiled.
Ropes made of divinity wrapped around its limbs, Joy’s magic erased what was laid onto its flesh, and after the shriveled body was disassembled by the two swordsmen, I snatched the Evil God fragment.
The King, who had been recovering in an instant until now, was crumpling down like any weak monster.
“No, no, no!”
Desperately, it tried to snatch the fragments away from my hands, but the movements of a sloppy one who has lost their power were so slow they could make anyone yawn.
Even though it wanted to lose its hold, it couldn’t help but let go.
As I kicked its abdomen, darkness grasped its body as if it had been waiting.
“Let go! I am the King of this land!”
One leg gets pulled in.
“I am the great king who shall uphold the glory of Soladin for eternity!”
Its knee sinks into the darkness.
“What do you want?! Wealth!? Status!? Treasures?! Just tell me! I will grant your wishes!”
Its waist is submerged in the black lake.
“Arthur! Our son! I am your father! The man who loved you and protected you!”
“Because you thought it might be your body, didn’t you?”
“That little girl! I will give you the little girl you love! I will make it so you can play with her as you wish! So please!”
Did it think Arthur wouldn’t be persuaded? It turned its head towards Phoebe.
“Saintess! Please, grant this wicked man the mercy of Armadi! A chance to be good again!”
As Phoebe looked at him with sharp eyes and kept her lips sealed, he hurriedly moved beside her.
“Lady Partlan! Great Archmage Erginius’s disciple! Please, have mercy on this miserable life!”
“Lady Kent! Think of the honor that dwells in your sword and please protect this life!”
“Please. Please. Please!”
By the time only the King’s head remained, his gaze landed on me.
“Apostle of the Lord.”
I didn’t answer but walked toward him.
“If you want me to lick your feet, I will lick. If you want me to crawl on the ground, I will crawl. I will do anything you desire. I will participate in your good deeds with all my soul! I swear to the God of Oaths, I will!”
“How many times did I tell you I don’t understand pig language?♡”
As I stomped on the Piglet’s head and sank it into darkness, the darkness vanished, and the surroundings turned serene.
Ah, I really feel like I’m too good. I even gave a final reward to that ugly pig.
To be precise, it’s not the final one.
That guy will live forever in the darkness made by Erginius himself.
One could say he achieved his dream, so congratulations are in order.
Although he won’t hear my mocking words, now that he’s suffocated in darkness.
Phew. For now, it seems to be over.
As I confirmed a door had appeared leading outside, I slowly scanned my surroundings.
Just to check if there was something else around.
I’ve been ambushed more than enough times in the past.
I won’t feel safe until I get a message from the sloppy God.
“Young Lady!”
“Lucy!”
Ah, as expected. That pig seems to be trying to thrash around ugly again.
Where is it?
The eyes of those two are.
My arm?
<...It's my first time seeing that close.>
The aura flowing from the Evil God fragment was crawling up my arm. My arm, touched by this aura, had already reached a shade of death.
[Get lost! The remnants that lost to humans!]
[Oh. So there was a cursed servant of Armadi. Long time no see.]
The leisurely voice filled my brain, and my body naturally shivered.
My body temperature dropped.
The beating of my heart slowed. The will to live faded.
What should naturally happen to the body became unnatural.
[Do you intend to disrupt the balance?!]
[If I can crush Armadi with just one fragment, I'll do so gladly.]
[You won’t be able to!]
“Of course. I can’t.”
The breath, which had stopped, returned. The warmth blooming deep within my heart allowed the blood to flow again, and the warmth felt around me.
…Wait a second. This isn’t Phoebe’s divinity, is it?
Slowly lifting my head, through the tears of death’s fear, a hazy human form appeared.
“Finally, we meet in person. Apostle of the Lord.”
What is the Pope doing here?
