    Mesugaki Tank Enters the Academy –
    189

    Miracle Recreation?! Why is a
    term that should appear only in the final part of the game showing up
    now?!

    There’s no way I can use it
    just because I’ve learned it now!

    Do you know how much
    preparation is needed to use it even once?!

    Don’t throw useless stuff at
    me and pretend it’s cool! You sloppy god!

    [You can do it.]

    That was the end of the
    message from the sloppy god.

    The message window cracked and
    then disappeared completely.

    At the same time, light
    started to emanate from the mace in my hand.

    Warm yet intense. Light like
    the sun.

    I had seen this light before.

    A few months ago, when I went
    to rescue Phoebe from Nacrad’s attack, Grandpa had shown me that
    light.

    Hmm. It seems the gods are up
    to something.

    I turned my head towards the
    voice that reached my ears, not my mind as usual, and saw Grandpa
    floating in the air like Adri.

    “Grandpa?”

    “Yes, it’s me.”

    What is this…

    Why is Grandpa, whose soul is
    only left in the mace, appearing outside?!

    “Is this some hidden
    function of the mace or something?!”

    “Now is not the time to
    worry about such things.”

    Grandpa said that and looked
    down.

    Below was the Evil God, who
    filled the entire cave with his flames and looked at me like a lion
    ready to pounce, licking his lips.

    I feel the overwhelming
    pressure emanating from him.

    I hear the crackling sound
    that will turn the world to ashes.

    I see the hatred-filled eyes
    of the monster.

    It’s a strange thing.

    Fear does not rise.

    This level of monster is
    glaring at me with killing intent, yet I remain calm.

    Why?

    “Little girl. Do you
    remember? The way to feel the divine energy within yourself.”

    “Of course. How could I
    forget that?”

    When Grandpa was teaching me
    [Divine Martial Arts], he drilled it into my head for several nights.
    How could I forget that?

    “Contemplate.”

    The moment I followed
    Grandpa’s advice and examined my body.

    I understood.

    I could feel it.

    The overwhelming warmth
    filling my body.

    Ha.

    Hahaha.

    Damn it, Armadi. Didn’t I tell
    you earlier to explain things properly?!

    When an Apostle speaks, you
    should listen!

    “Grandpa, I have something
    to ask you.”

    “Go ahead.”

    “Tell me how to perform a
    miracle.”

    “That’s quite a
    difficult request. It is my ultimate skill, after all.”

    Though Grandpa expressed
    difficulty, his expression was different.

    He had no intention of hiding
    his pleased smile.

    “However, if you’re
    asking, I should tell you.”

    The moment the conversation
    with Grandpa ended, the clock of the world began to tick once more.

    The descent started.

    “Georg! Quench the
    flames!”

    In the past, during the
    reckless days of rampaging across the frontlines of every
    battlefield.

    Benedict had encountered
    Georg.

    Georg, whom he had met as an
    adversary, was a troublesome opponent in many ways.

    If Georg had merely been a
    user of powerful magic, Benedict might not have remembered him.

    After all, brute strength can
    simply be shattered with greater force.

    However, Georg was different.
    Although he was undeniably a mage with immense magical power, his
    talents lay not in overwhelming firepower but elsewhere.

    His versatility allowed him to
    wield magic of all attributes freely.

    No matter the situation, he
    could weave countless spells together to provide the optimal
    solution. He was an individual that could single handedly emulate the
    strength of many.

    The people of the kingdom
    harboured both hatred and awe towards him, calling him Georg, the
    Mage of Myriad Spells.

    ‘It seemed he had only grown
    more powerful since then. This should be something he can handle.’

    “I’m already on it!”

    Georg, his usual manners
    discarded in the urgency, shouted as dozens of magic circles appeared
    around him.

    “Bishop Johan! Use the
    purification spell!”

    “It’s already cast!”

    “Impressive speed!”

    As the Prayer of Purification
    seeped into the Evil God’s flames scorching the ground, the corrupted
    energy within the fire recoiled, unable to withstand the divine
    energy.

    Seeing this, Georg summoned a
    waterfall to douse the flames.

    The sheer force of the torrent
    seemed like it could crush anything beneath it, and the flames were
    extinguished.

    Georg then raised the water
    left on the ground into a wall around them and froze it solid.

    Even though the ice wall
    formed new snow blossoms within it as it repeatedly melted and froze
    in response to the Evil God’s flames, it would serve as a temporary
    safety barrier.

    Benedict landed with a
    thunderous crash onto the now-secure ground, holding Lucy in his
    arms, and looked up at the enemy.

    White flames, burning
    intensely, seeped through the cracks in the wall.

    That creature called itself
    Vahda.

    “Bishop Johan. Vahda,
    isn’t that the name of the Evil God?”

    “Yes, it’s the one with
    the power of fire.”

    “A formidable presence
    has arrived.”

    “Haha. It appears our
    daughter is dearly loved by the great Armadi. To think that one who
    calls himself an Evil God harbours such hatred towards her. It’s
    quite displeasing.”

    “Thanks to that, Lucy’s
    in danger.”

    Benedict remembered Lucy’s
    expression at the moment the ground collapsed.

    Her eyes were quivering.

    His daughter, who had long
    avoided showing any weakness, was visibly shaken.

    Just from that, Benedict could
    tell that Lucy had not foreseen this situation.

    “Hmm. That means I
    shouldn’t burden Lucy any further. On the contrary, this is good. I
    get to show off how amazing her Papa is.”

    “It’s my first time
    facing an Evil God. Bishop Johan, how about you?”

    “As if I would have any
    experience with that. I am someone who learned about the Age of
    Heroes from books.”

    “That’s quite
    troublesome. Georg, how about you? Your family has managed this place
    for a long time. Is there some kind of secret technique?”

    “If there was, I would
    have mentioned it by now. I’m not foolish enough to hide anything
    when my life is in danger.”

    ‘No one knows how to deal
    with the Evil God.

    Well, if even I, who used to
    crush all sorts of creatures from all over, don’t know, there’s no
    way they would.’

    “Then we’ll have to attack
    from scratch.”

    ‘It’s not a big deal.

    The Evil God or whatever, that
    guy is just a loser who’s been defeated several times before.

    If he’s not invincible,
    he’ll fall eventually after enough beatings.

    I used to do this as a hobby
    in the past.

    Nothing I can’t handle.’

    “Stupid Papa♡ Did you
    forget someone right next to you?♡”

    “Lucy?”

    Benedict, who was smiling and
    preparing to fight, turned his head to the voice beside him.

    “…Do you have a method?”

    “Just hold out. Even a
    troll-like Papa who only relies on strength can do at least that
    much, right?♡ Or are you not confident?♡”

    Hearing that, Benedict looked
    into Lucy’s confident eyes.

    And he saw something surging
    within her.

    Benedict didn’t know exactly
    what it was.

    But he understood that it was
    something given by the great Armadi.

    ‘Is Lucy so precious to you
    that you would intervene like this?

    Goodness. This is both a
    blessing and a curse.

    How much more will my Lucy
    have to suffer because of this?

    Fine. Armadi.

    Just promise me one thing.

    Grant our daughter peace in
    the end.

    If not, I, Benedict, will risk
    everything to bring you to ruin.’

    Carefully setting Lucy down on
    the ground, he drew the enormous greatsword from his back.

    A weapon so massive that only
    he could wield it.

    Then, he enveloped his entire
    body with magic.

    A unique magical technique
    passed down only within the Allen Family.

    A secret technique handed only
    to the heir of the family.

    Its effect is simple.

    Enhancement of physical
    abilities.

    ‘Heh. It’s been so long
    since I’ve gone all out.’

    “Submit! Weak mortal!”

    Vahda raised both hands high.

    In his hand was an axe.

    Made entirely of flames, its
    edge was perpetually burning.

    As it struck the ice wall, a
    massive crack began to form.

    Anyone could see it wouldn’t
    hold much longer.

    Despite the danger, Benedict
    remained calm.

    “Did you both hear that?
    If we just buy time, my daughter will handle everything.”

    “That makes things
    easier.”

    “Both of you… ha,
    alright, let’s go with that.”

    Boom!

    As Vahda struck the axe again,
    the ice wall shattered, and the barrier protecting the group
    disappeared.

    Seeing Vahda preparing to
    strike again, Benedict grabbed the hilt of his sword with both hands.

    A grey Aura enveloped the
    sword.

    Not just any energy, but an
    Aura so dense it seemed to colour the space around it grey.

    “Die!”

    As the axe came down, Benedict
    moved.

    With a force that seemed
    capable of crushing the ground, he twisted his body and swung his
    sword at the axe.

    No matter how massive the
    greatsword was, it seemed like a mere ant compared to the axe blade.

    However, the axe could not
    overpower the sword.

    A human’s sword was blocking
    the wrath of a god.

    Beyond the greatsword, the
    surging flames looked insurmountable, yet a smile lingered on
    Benedict’s lips.

    Soon, the veins on Benedict’s
    neck bulged.

    With this, his already massive
    frame grew even larger.

    Muscles swelled along his
    bloodstream, making his armour creak.

    As a result, the Axe of the
    Evil God was gradually pushed back.

    Eventually, the axe flew into
    the air.

    Standing under the ascending
    flames, Benedict proudly pointed the tip of his sword upward and
    shouted.

    “Is this all it takes to
    call oneself a god?

    Behold, Armadi!

    When the worst conclusion
    comes, this is whom you will face as your enemy!

    Otherwise, this is who will be
    your eternal ally!”

    The aura of the curse emitted
    by Vahda was powerless before the divine energy of one destined to
    become a cardinal in the future.

    A curse that would originally
    have turned the mind of a person to ashes could only float aimlessly
    in the air.

    The flames used by the Evil
    God were similar.

    Flames that signified the
    potential destruction of all things were merely heating the air,
    stopped by the prowess of a mage.

    All the anger that sought to
    crush mortals was rendered powerless beneath a father’s will to
    protect his daughter.

    Everything.

    Every single thing present at
    this moment.

    Nothing was going as the Evil
    God desired.

    Of course, this must be
    irritating.

    His brows must be furrowing.

    Those who would have been
    nothing if he had retained his original power.

    Those who would have turned to
    ash under the flames burning the world.

    These are the ones now
    standing in his way.

    But that fellow won’t know.

    Compared to what is about to
    happen, this is nothing.

    “Do you understand?”

    “Of course.”

    Grandpa, who was observing the
    movement of the divine energy within me, stood up with a smile.

    “Well then, Little Girl.
    Are you ready?”

    “And what about you,
    Grandpa? Do you think you can manage?”

    “Who is worrying about
    whom? I am Ruel, one of the heroes who saved the world.”

    And then he stood next to me,
    raising his mace high into the air.

    Seeing him, I also raised my
    mace, imbued with Armadi’s divine energy.

    “It’s time to create a
    miracle.”
