Chapter: 501
Agra might be a pathetic coward and a loser, but his power and authority are real.
Look at how many deities joined him the moment he rebelled. If they thought victory was impossible, would they attach themselves to Agra?
Even now, with Agra sealed into multiple fragments, his authority remains unchanged.
He is still the center of the Evil Gods and the embodiment of all wickedness.
Look at how the Void Evil God ignored his will and bestowed power upon Luca. Agra’s strength is so overwhelming that it can crush even the thoughts of other deities.
If you twist this idea a bit…
If that loser Agra truly wants to mess with someone, wouldn’t it be possible for him to draw the surrounding darkness toward him?
Having come up with such a thought, I asked Grandpa. Since he had actually fought against the Evil God Agra, I thought he might know.
[What kind of insane thought is that!]
Grandpa was shocked as soon as he heard my question.
‘Is that a no?’
[It’s not just a matter of yes or no! Lucy! What you just said implies that you want to bear the darkness lurking within the barrier all by yourself!]
‘Not quite that much, though.’
What I wanted to say wasn’t that I would take it all on myself against the Evil God.
Such nobility belongs to Phoebe.
[Then what! Why are you asking that!]
‘Because it’s my fault that all this happened. I should bear at least some responsibility.’
Right now, all I want to say is that I won’t run away, which is a ridiculously foolish statement.
It would be incredibly burdensome if heavy words like sacrifice got thrown into the mix.
It makes it sound like I’m being forced to die.
I don’t have the slightest intention of dying.
[You really!]
‘Ah! Seriously! Just stop talking and answer me! It’s urgent!’
It’s not like we have the luxury to persuade one by one right now! I can’t even tell what’s happening up there, how much longer are we going to keep whining!?
[But…]
‘You don’t trust me!?’
<… You will be fine. It’s still only a guess, though.>
‘That’s enough!’
Having received confirmation, I quickly jumped back using the shock from Luca’s heavy blow.
“Are you already tired?”
“What are you saying?♡ I’m not like you, a premature ejaculator!♡”
I knew it was possible to provoke Agra and draw out his energy. But I can’t just recklessly draw in pressure.
Otherwise, I, along with the idiot swordsman next to me and that old hag over there, would end up dead.
So, let’s get to work.
To ensure that the immense energy existing within this barrier could withstand its presence.
To create the best possible outcome, not just a suffocating end.
“Idiot swordsman. Go help that old hag over there. If this keeps up, she won’t even get to leave a last will.”
“Huh? Lucy. But…”
Frey tilted her head, trying to respond, but upon seeing my face, she nodded her head and quickly moved her feet.
I’m glad she listened, but… well, I can ask later. For now, it’s enough that I’ve eliminated the variables.
“Perverted Professor♡ Do you know what that jealous uncle who hates you thinks of you?♡”
“Are you trying to buy time with nonsense? I’m delighted, though.”
“Even though you’re weird, you’re not a bastard!♡ Hahaha♡ Isn’t that hilarious?♡ A trash who betrayed his oath and sold his soul to a fool isn’t a bastard!?♡”
The start is to blow Luca’s sanity away. I can’t let him have rational judgment.
If his tiny brain starts working well, my plan’s foundation will collapse.
“Ah♡ Speaking of which♡ That crazy lady thinks of you as a benefactor?♡ Apparently, thanks to you, he could become a Sword Saint?♡ Hehe♡”
“Is that so? Haha. That’s quite an honorable thing. To be a benefactor of a Sword Saint.”
“So♡ You were only jealous of the talent and wanted to kill him, and now you’re called a benefactor!♡ It’s fortunate that your skills are as shabby as can be!♡ Right?♡ If you had just been a little better, there would be no Sword Saint today!♡”
Luca smiled as if nothing was wrong, but it was clear his insides were twisted.
How do I know? Because ecstasy is bubbling up. The ecstasy from Mesugaki Skill, proving that the opponent is feeling embarrassed because of you.
“Why don’t you stick to that lustful lady even now?♡ That foolish lady is your greatest achievement in life, right?♡”
“It’s too far gone now. It would have been nice if I had known months ago.”
“Right♡ If you were such a sloppy pervert, you would have dashed over and banged your head against her by now!♡ I bet that uncle would have enjoyed it if you licked his toes and sucked him off!♡”
“…That’s true.”
“Ah~♡ That would be impossible!♡ Someone as thin-skinned as you wouldn’t suit that uncle!♡ A loser who’s out of place both as a human and as a man should stick to whacking off alone in a corner!♡ Right?♡”
Telling him that the person he’s obsessed with has no interest in him at all made Luca’s expression vanish for a moment.
Tsk. Normally, Luca wouldn’t have fallen for such blatant provocation. The disgusting nature of that filthy human who has worn a mask all his life wouldn’t reveal itself so easily.
But now it’s different. The Luca in front of me is being captured by the Evil God’s power. In a state where maintaining rational thought is difficult, does he have the capacity to withstand provocation?
“What kind of face is that?♡ All you lousy ones can do is that, right?♡”
“…”
“What do you think you can do against that lustful lady?♡ Hahaha♡ Can’t you self-reflect?♡ A stone like you can’t possibly affect a star!♡ So~loopy♡”
As if resonating with Luca’s emotions, the energy around us starts to move, and at the same time, Luca charges forward. The weapon in his hand remains unchanged from before.
Good. It feels like a fair amount of his sanity has flown away, and next…
BAM!
Enduring the shock that comes through the shield, I smile.
“Is it urgent?♡ You think your sloppy attack will work twice?♡”
This statement is full of bravado. I’m not strong enough to effortlessly take Luca’s attack granted from obtaining the power of the Void.
If it were the usual Luca, he would have sniffed out my bravado.
But now, who knows.
“Then how about this!?”
Suddenly Luca’s body is engulfed in darkness, and his weapon changes. The moment I saw the new dagger in his hands, I couldn’t help but grin from the bottom of my heart.
Now that I confirmed my bravado is working, from here on it’s just a simple task.
I’m just guiding.
To ensure that the weapon Luca holds…
is something I can easily deal with.
Turning Luca, who is difficult at the Soul Academy, into a fool.
Essentially, Luca’s logic is all about determining how to truly educate me.
If I intentionally shine a light on his weakness, he can’t help but fall for it.
“You look like you’re struggling a lot!”
I pretend to exhaust myself. I act hesitantly as if it’s hard to fend off the opponent’s attack.
“How long do you think you can keep blocking?”
I twist the shield to intentionally produce a bizarre sound. A shield that should never find its limits pretends that it will break.
“Is the light from your star just that?!”
I minimize the movements of my feet. By pretending to be dull, I become the target for the opponent.
“Lady Allen!”
At the end of this entire performance, what Luca holds is an axe that requires two hands to grip tightly.
A dual-purpose weapon that serves the role of both a spear and an axe, commonly referred to as a halberd. The worst weapon that turns the boss named Luca into a fool.
The moment the tip enveloped in the Evil God’s power collided with my shield, I bit down hard to endure the shock.
“You, and that shabby God, are both pathetic losers who can only get stomped on in life!♡”
“What nonsense are you talking about!”
Hearing my voice, Luca’s veins bulged, but I didn’t respond to him. The one I wanted to provoke wasn’t Luca.
“Using such shabby trash as your proxy, how could you ever hope to defeat me!♡”
But there’s someone lurking behind, someone lower. A disgusting pervert who will always be watching me. A pathetic, vile loser.
Struggling desperately to win but destined to remain at the bottom forever.
“Then~ if you knew that, you wouldn’t be getting stomped by a shabby God, would you?♡”
I embed the Divine Grace of God into my voice. Making the shield and mace in my hands shine with the Divine Grace of God.
“Or not?♡ That being called a god wouldn’t be so foolish, right?♡”
I illuminate the space with the existence of the target that the Evil God Agra most despises.
“Then why?♡ Why do you keep getting stomped and cling on so shamefully?♡ And why don’t you even think about it?♡”
As Luca listened to me, his eyes had turned black.
No, I shouldn’t call him Luca anymore.
Calling that completely soulless idiot Luca would be disrespectful to him.
“Are you a masochist?♡ Am I right?♡ You feel ecstasy from being stomped on, don’t you?♡ Don’t deny it!♡ It doesn’t make sense unless your stupidity can be explained!♡”
The completely blackened Luca grabs the halberd with both hands.
“Mhm♡ If you’re a masochist,♡ does that mean you like that shabby God?♡ The shabby pervert God must be pitiful,~♡ To be tormented by such a loser like you♡ For the first time, that perverted guy seems pitiful!♡”
Above the weapon that Luca holds, darkness begins to swirl.
Although it was the power of the void, now the energies that had escaped its control began to gather.
