Chapter: 567
The man trapped in the magic circle frowned, trying to shake off the magic power clinging to him, but the Great Wizard Erginius’s spell would not let him go.
I know. I know how many centuries Erginius spent crafting that spell. His passion that never waned even once over such a long and tireless period.
His purity that never collapsed even in the face of numerous temptations. That’s why I believe. I believe that his magic will reach the Evil God of darkness.
“Ha. Amazing.”
In the end, Erginius’s magic completely adhered to the man’s body.
“Is that Erginius’s obsession reaching me?”
Hearing the man mumble, he forced himself up despite his broken body.
His flesh was healed by Divine Magic, but once again, pain surged through his head like a tidal wave, yet strangely, the suffering was bearable.
Perhaps it was because I almost died a moment ago, my senses were still dulled. As I barely recovered my body and turned my gaze around, the darkness began to recede into view.
Erginius’s magic had stripped the man of his control.
But it’s still not enough. This won’t do. To achieve our plan, the Evil God needs to exert more power!
“How does it feel to be defeated by the human you despised so much?♡ Huh?♡ Huh?♡”
“No need to get mad. I already figured out why that Erginius fellow cast such a spell on me. He wants me to devour all the darkness inside.”
…He figured it out already!?
This is too much! If one is incredibly strong, they should at least be a little dim-witted to keep things balanced! What do you do when both are outstanding?
“I won’t do anything. After all, just my mere existence freed from the seal will already bring change to this world.”
The man spread his hands and showed a smug, sneering smile.
He’s right. There’s no need for him to exert himself to shake off the spell now.
With the resurrection of the Evil God, darkness would spread through the world, and someday that magic will be unable to contain the immense power of the Evil God.
But
“Maybe it’s because you’re an idiot, but your memory really sucks♡”
The man is missing one crucial detail.
“Provocation won’t mean anything. Even if I can’t use my power, you won’t be able to land a single scratch on me.”
“True♡ I’m just a small, cute, and delicate girl♡ I’m so scared of a lecherous idiot like you that I can’t even move♡”
Even now, here is
“But a rotten, decayed aunt might be different?♡”
The dream of the Fairy Queen.
“I found it.”
With a voice that could turn the world into winter, the Fairy Queen appeared, rushing toward the man with eyes devoid of reason.
“You crazy bitch!”
For the first time, the man’s face wavered. The Fairy Queen’s level was a sufficient threat to him.
“Do you think a worthless little thing like you can withstand my darkness?!”
“Yes, yes, yes! Of course! This is my dream! In dreams, anything is possible!”
“Shut up and get lost! If you’ve lost your mind, become fertilizer under the soil!”
The Fairy Queen, intent on claiming the power of darkness, focused her gaze solely on the man. Has she found some room for leisure now?
Before I could let out a sigh of relief, I quickly turned my head to check on my friends’ condition.
“Everyone is fine, Lucy. You don’t need to worry.”
Though the faces of those gathered next to Joy were pale, they didn’t seem to have significant physical or mental issues.
“While Lucy is buying time, I’ve managed to push back the Power of Darkness.”
Sure enough. The man’s goal is to torment me. While his attention is focused on me, he managed to save his friends.
It seems that my provocation didn’t work, but in the end, I did a good job as a tank.
“…I’m sorry, Lucy.”
Huh? Why apologize? That was the best you could do at the time, right?
“I almost ended up killing everyone after saying I’d do everything I could.”
That’s true too. If we hadn’t broken the seal of the Evil God, we would have lost it to the Fairy Queen and ended up with a bad ending.
Joy, thanks to your confident words, I could make that decision.
“Even while you were screaming in pain, you couldn’t do anything.”
You didn’t do anything? But you saved your friends! What would have happened if you hadn’t taken that Authority of Evil God?
“I…”
Agh! Really! I don’t like how deflated you are! This way, you’re just an idiot inside and out!
Ignoring the commotion endlessly ringing in the back, I pinched Joy‘s cheeks.
“N-nuh.”
“Dumbass. Are your eyes just for decoration? We’re still in danger, you know?”
“B-but.”
“Complain after that lunatic is gone. I’ll laugh my head off then.”
“…Dee.”
“And let me tell you. If you’re a piece of trash who couldn’t do anything, what does that make the others? Worthless microorganisms? Just bugs hiding behind a girl?”
Hmm? That’s odd? Normally, Arthur or Frey would complain by now.
Huh? Why are those two looking so gloomy this time?
Ugh! This is so annoying!
“Everyone.”
Before I could say anything, Karl, who rose from his seat, spoke up.
“There’s a use even for bugs. We can afford to sink into self-loathing later.”
“…I guess so. We’re still alive, after all.”
“Right. There are still fun things ahead.”
“Do you really find anything fun after seeing that spectacle?”
I could vaguely imagine what they faced.
The sight of the Power of Darkness reflects the darkness in one’s heart.
Typically, facing that would break one’s spirit, yet my friends showed no signs of even a slight tremble.
“Still, it seems things are going according to plan. Joy, isn’t it still insufficient? The darkness he’s gathering isn’t impressive at all?”
“The problem is that the Fairy Queen’s reason has flown away. Since she recklessly charges in, it’s easy to handle.”
“Even if she regains her reason, it would still be troublesome. We can’t deal with her at our level.”
“Then how about we help the queen and attack the Evil God? Joy, what about interference with her powers?”
“It’s possible, but we don’t know how the spell inscribed on the Evil God’s body will change in that case.”
Instead, my friends were thinking of butting into their fight. Even though they had just escaped death numerous times, they were not scared at all and were eager to move forward.
[You’re quite similar.]
‘Whoa!? Why are you suddenly talking? You startled me!’
[Sorry about that. But I bring one interesting piece of news.]
‘…Interesting news?’
[It’s information from
Hearing Ganshu, I got immediately enraged, but the following story calmed my fury.
Ha. Haha! That old coot has a nasty personality!
I didn’t expect that he would even have the opponent’s weakness!
Got it! I had so many things I wanted to say to you, but with this, you’re forgiven!
Thanks to this, it looks like I’ll get to see quite the spectacle!
“Hey, shoddy ones. Don’t you want to watch that idiot writhing in embarrassment? Isn’t it hilarious?”
*
“Err?? How odd? It’s my dream, so why can’t I control it? Why? Why?”
“Think about that nonsense by yourself.”
The man dodged the Fairy Queen’s reach, which had crossed space to reach him, merely by bending at the waist, and landed on the ground to find a massive hole in what just moments ago had been solid ground. He clicked his tongue and created a darkness foothold.
“How tiresome.”
Normally, it wouldn’t be difficult to deal with the Fairy Queen.
With just a gesture, I could erase her from this world.
However, right now, I’m under the restriction of not drawing in darkness.
Even if I don’t like it, I have to endure.
Until the darkness casts a shadow over the world and no human can stop me.
“Please hit me!”
“I refuse.”
And when that time comes, I’ll play a lot with the toys the Lord Jushin cherishes.
Ah, I really want to hear those screams quickly.
I want to laugh at Armadi despairing at the cries of his beloved child.
But I have to hold it in. The last time I lost to a human, it was because I let my guard down.
I won’t make the same mistake again. Especially when it’s an opponent who has induced miracles multiple times.
“Wow♡ Popular, aren’t they?♡ It seems there’s someone who needs a loser like this!♡ How strange♡”
Following the voice, I turned my gaze to see the Apostle of God and various lowly beings.
To think the noble Apostle is one thing, but I expected the others to run away.
It seems they are garbage who know no worth for their own lives, just like the heroes; that’s why it’s even more rewarding to destroy them.
“You came here voluntarily, so you’re quite nervous. Did the mad queen turn out to be more incompetent than you thought?”
“Puhahaha♡ What nonsense♡ I wouldn’t expect anything from that rotten chicken coop aunt!♡ If she touches you, your expectation will rot away~♡”
“Oh? Then do you have any tricks up your sleeve? Do your best, or else I’ll make her sing again.”
Her scream was quite sweet.
After all, it was a lovely voice from a child chosen by the Lord Jushin.
Perhaps once she’s completely broken, I’ll use her as an instrument.
Not bad.
“Hey♡ Do you see this?♡ Huh?♡”
“…Ganshu’s symbol? How the Apostle of God has that?”
“You know♡ You realize this stinky old man has a nasty personality, right?♡ Is it because he’s locked up in that library? His heart is just full of moldy trash!♡”
No. That’s bravado. There’s no way that nasty guy would reveal his secrets to humans.
“I’m telling you, it’s so overly disgusting you can’t even answer?♡ To think you keep records of events from ages you can’t even count alone!♡”
There’s no way that piece of trash wouldn’t reveal anything to even his own Apostle.
“Do you think I’m just bluffing?♡ Puhahaha!♡ Yeah!♡ Of course!♡ You would want that!♡ Keep denying reality!♡ Even if you do, your dark history won’t disappear!♡”
…
“Ugh♡ Look at your pale face♡”
“You little…”
“Why?♡ Do you want to block my mouth now?♡”
“Stop it there. Or else…”
“What will you do?♡ What will you do?♡ Are you going to make me cry like back then?♡ Huh?♡ Huh?♡”
“…I’ll kill you.”
“Wow~♡ You’re so scary♡ Truly retarded!♡”
