XXXIX.

It is said that the secret arts and magic used by the Walpurgis witches were created to resist the barren and harsh nature with a woman’s body.

Their alchemy was developed to survive the harsh winters and summers when epidemics spread, and the curse was created to protect them from large monsters and monsters.

And the secret art of destruction was created to combat natural disasters that cannot be resisted.

― From The Rise and End of Walpurgis

◈

“Profit! Subvérsor!! Soo, Subersos!!”

Rumble – clang! Rumble – clang!

It is a thunderbolt thicker than the pillars of most temples. Bundles of thunderbolts, shining with a black luster and shouting that they are very ominous, are constantly pouring out.

Indeed, it is a destructive magic with the power to make it impossible for the Empire to take notice of the Walpurgis Witches, of whom there were only a few.

How should we express the appearance of the clown breaking the thunderbolt by tapping it with the red side as if shooing away a fly?

Expressing it in one word, “amazing,” feels too insincere. Would it be like watching a myth that prevents an uncontrollable natural disaster?

“Are you done~?”

A little while ago, it was a surprise attack, but the guy who broke through the witch’s defenses and cut off my arm is now gasping as he looks at the clown with tired eyes.

And I can see him rolling his eyes from side to side. I could see it with my own eyes, so of course I would have seen the clown as well.

just as expected. A chuckle can be heard as the clown turns his back on the side he was holding out to Abaddon and grabs it. Very deliberately and loudly, as if telling me to listen.

“Run away. You guys are good at it. Taljoo-Ninja.”

“How do you do that? Surely four years… ! Are you from the dimension where the madman, the Light Sword Master, lived?!”

“Hmm~. The lightsaber is from our dimension. Although he is much older than me. There will be more than 500 years difference? But you guys were famous even when I was alive. By running away. So, if you are at a disadvantage, running away or begging for your life is not something that happened yesterday or today. Now~. Go quickly~. When this sister sends it to me.”

I felt like I would get angry again at the sight of the clown waving his hands as if he was chasing away a vulgar cackling bastard. If it were me, would I run away after hearing something like that? I think about it, but the only answer I can come up with is ‘Well?’

However, the Taazuni factor that the clown said was not a complete lie, so he hurriedly got down next to the two remaining mid-level demons.

“Are you really going to send it to me?”

“Huh~? Even so~. Baby Chaam~. I told you to believe what this sister says~. Hurry up and go. How come you all look like that? It’s disgusting just looking at it. Boy~.”

Daddy Don’s hideous face twitches once again due to the clown’s blunt and violent scolding.

“Profit… !”

The teeth are being bitten so hard that the sound can be heard from quite far away. While he was thinking nonsense about hurting his teeth, the guy named Albadon controlled his anger and glared at the two mid-level demons.

“We’ll see!”

“Yes. no. Witch?”

“Please leave it to me. Obnéxus!!”

“Profit!! You dirty humans! Lie!!”

Every time the witch had performed a spell since she had been summoned, she had done so quickly and with all her might that she had been unable to convey its meaning, as she had explained to me.

A witch’s spell that appeared in an instant.

A thick, bluish tree branch rose from the floor and succeeded in entrapping all three demons.

It wasn’t a chain or a net, but a tree branch, so it looked like it could be easily broken, but all it did was struggle violently as if it couldn’t use its strength.

“Then why do you believe the enemy’s words? How dare you think we’ll just let the guy who cut off his own arm go? And this is where the power of God comes into play. It’s natural that you can’t run away, right?”

The clown is not the girl who was playfully dealing with demons just now. He made an unprecedented serious face, and especially during the part about ‘cutting off his own arm’, his fierceness soared, and his hair, including the clown’s red bridge, flew up into the sky.

“And lying is your specialty, right? There are degrees of naeronambuldo. Isn’t it a bit weird for a demon to say something based on a lie?”

Blood-red Aura.

Like those who have used other divine powers so far, a blood-red aura is spouting out around the clown, who has not seen any effect even though he has increased his power.

The clown’s fascinating lips open, and rather than a playful or lustful voice, the clown’s voice spreads calmly but widely, resembling the voice of a faithful priest praying to God as soon as he wakes up.

“The master of death and extinction, annihilation and extinction. Ruler of the underworld. I command the name of Mors. Perish… Dead spirits.”

It was a kind of declaration, a prophecy.

If you see that you can feel the sacred energy of divinity, which you have already experienced several times.

The blood-red side of the clown swinging at the distant demons was swung frustratingly slowly.

Something red, as if sword energy or strong energy was shooting out from the side that was swung slowly like that.

At first, the red glowing energy the size of the side held by the clown grew bigger and bigger, and by the time it reached the demons, it was hundreds of times larger.

Like the weapon used by the titans in legend.

“Uh, how… ! The power of the god of death… … !! Oh, no!! Cow, extinction… !!”

“Okay!”

Shoot!

There were no huge sound effects. No, that made it feel even creepier.

Three demons touched the blood-red side. Among them, there was one who seemed to be of high rank. However, the three demons quickly melted and disappeared from the part that touched the side. Like butter on a very hot pan.

The moment I confirmed that everything was over and both the clown and the witch turned around, as if to signify that it was over, I felt the string of tension that had been tight until now suddenly snap.

“Wow!”

“Wow!”

“Aaaaa!!”

.

.

Hearing the thunderous cheers pouring in from above,

“Ma, Master!”

“Master!!”

I closed my eyes, feeling that my mental strings were broken along with the tension.

◈ ◈ ◈

I am dreaming.

Does this space, which has a pool table, simple entertainment facilities, and various alcoholic beverages, look like a lounge?

I don’t know.

Above all, the people around me who talk to me are also people I don’t know.

“No, that’s still true. How can you put off designing the life of a hero who will control the fate of your dimension? Because of that, the guy who should have been a hero is now living as the son of farmer Juan. I’m planning to become a barista! And what are you going to do if the captain gets really angry?”

Is it a descendant of a dragon? The ‘I’ in the dream did not respond to the words spoken by the human-shaped being whose entire body was covered in scales. This is something that seems serious.

“That’s right. Elderly. This time the prank was too much. And then, if we really get angry, are we really going to ask to take off our rank insignia and have a fight?”

Following the words of a woman who gave off a somewhat rational and logical vibe,

“Stay safe. Previous era. It’s a shame because our pet is so kind-hearted.”

The last woman’s words attract the attention of nearby men. When I saw it from a third party’s perspective, it seemed like there was an unspoken pressure on their faces saying, ‘What bullshit is that!’ Except for women.

“Wow~. it’s good! This is delicious! But inspiration. I heard earlier that our captain was going to look for a sword for the first time in a while?”

“Huh? Why?”

Finally, the mouth of the person I assumed to be ‘me’ in the dream opened at the words spoken by the small child. Why would anyone be interested in going looking for a sword? And it seems like the feeling you’re feeling is that you’re embarrassed?

“I don’t know. Who should I fight with? I asked you?”

“But?”

“The captain said something I couldn’t understand. What did you say? ah! right! Did you say you were doing an ‘eBay match’ with a senile old man?”

“It will be a revenge match.”

“Ah! that’s right! It’s surprisingly useful, isn’t it? ■■?”

Unexpectedly, the man who corrected the small, child-like woman as she gulped down the pitch-black drink (probably cola or chocolate) and made muffled sounds with her tongue was a man I knew.

A man who called himself God.

The man who appeared at the moment of awakening and placed six levels of seals on me.

And the man I met not long ago through the Evergreen customer service application.

“Anyway, what are you going to do? now? If the captain found the sword, are you really mad?”

bang!!

At the same time, the door was smashed and a man with shoulder-length black hair floated into the air with great force appeared.

“Let’s take off my age and rank insignia and have a fight.”

His sword was not aimed at me in the dream, but at me, who was watching in the air behind him.

◈

Fortunately, the dream ended there. didn’t If I had fought, I would have lost, right?

Even if it’s a dream, dreams of losing to someone or getting hit one-sidedly are a bit… … .

I was able to escape from the dream in which a scary man appeared to the familiar voices of two women muttering softly and constantly.

“Did you forget the promise we made on the card?”

“But it is the Master’s choice.”

“Oh my? If anyone hears it, will they think that we picked you and chose you? Could you please stop saying anything that might be misunderstood?”

“I admit that there was a ‘bit’ of coincidence, but the Master chose me anyway.”

“True! You’re funny! They say the calm dragon blows the brass first. Hey! A ‘little bit’ of coincidence? When we fell, you happened to be there. As if the ground was there when he fell.”

So, I don’t know why the two women who are precious to me are fighting like this, but it sounds like it has something to do with me. The seriousness in their voices clearly made it feel like a big deal. It seems like a very big deal.

‘We need to get up and calm down the two women…’ … ?’

“But as a result, Master is sleeping comfortably and soundly on my lap pillow. As you see it now. So I think it makes sense for me to do it.”

“Wow! What are you? Am I talking to a wall! In the first card we made a promise. In the order in which they are summoned first, I decided to play older sister and younger brother. I’m giving you orders as an older sister. Move! You have to sleep on my lap.”

“That’s not possible. Are you saying that you, as Arcana, are now denying the Master’s choice?”

“Aaagh! I hate you!”

“I don’t really like you either.”

It’s probably better not to happen. okay. Let’s sleep a little longer now. Because I couldn’t sleep properly while practicing. So is this comfortable pillow I’m sleeping on the witch’s knee? It’s comfortable.

What was surprising was that even though the two women were having such a heated argument, their voices did not spread out very loudly, as if they were whispering. As if they didn’t want to disturb me while I was sleeping.

Just as I was about to fall asleep again,

“Arrived.”

An old man’s voice was heard saying that they had arrived somewhere.

Wait, we were moving?

I didn’t feel anything? how?

I eventually had no choice but to get up.

“Ma, Master!?”

“Baby!!”

As I looked around and heard the two women shouting, I was able to figure out what had happened.

What I was riding was a Flying Dish, similar to the ‘foot’ used as a means of transportation at Evergreen Academy.

The witch and I were on the Flying Dish, which appeared to have been created by the witch’s magic, and on either side were a clown and the three Caligo Heresy Judges we had seen before. Like knights escorting a carriage.

And when I looked straight ahead again, I saw a unique temple with half white and half black colors. There was a temple of the Evergreen Caligo Order.

“Evidence of trust~!!”

“Evidence of trust~!!”

“Evidence of trust~!!”

“Trust’s… … !”

.

.

And the priests of the Caligo Church in pure white priestly uniforms and the paladins in black armor were waiting for me.

The number is easily over two hundred.

These two hundred people were not just trainee priests. Judging by the fact that their bodies are tingling from the energy waves felt throughout their bodies, they are all unusual people.

‘What’s all this about?’
