episode_0175

It was truly an imminent situation. As the sweet singing voice continued to penetrate my ears, I began to feel faint. The reality is that my body has already begun to move without my control. It was truly a shocking sight.

No matter how I belatedly tried to use my faith to take action, I squeezed out one last move, feeling my body rapidly breaking down as if I had been administered an anesthetic.

“……Ugh.”

What I see before my eyes is the beautiful planet of this world and outer space. Yes. He left the lower world like he always did. Of course, he regained his freedom by escaping from the Siren’s temptation range, but the problem still remained.

“What should I do, my body….”

Unlike other gods who had already built enough faith and achieved liberation, I had not yet cast off my body, so I had to leave my body behind whenever I came here. In other words, my body was just as it had been taken over by Lorelai.

“You’re in big trouble… It’s a big problem if you throw away your body like this.”

The reason I can move around the underworld without any restrictions, unlike other gods, is because I still have that body. This is the precious body that my parents gave birth to, who are still alive and well on Earth.

Of course, there was no way for me to solve this situation right away. Therefore, the choice I made was natural.

“Prinia~!”

It was to visit Prinia.

“What happened again this time, Eugene? It’s nice to see you often these days.”

“That….”

Prinia, who heard what I had done, shouted urgently.

“You fool! Quickly go back to the underworld!”

“Huh? What, what is it?”

“If you are here now, your body in the underworld is no different from that of an ordinary human being. The Siren can be ruined the way she does it!”

“Wow.”

After realizing the situation, I quickly left without even saying thank you. In the meantime, I had the illusion that I heard Prinia sigh… but she kept showing me her ugly side, so I was afraid to meet her next time.

‘Yes…?’

Returning to my physical body, I breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, while I was here, time in the underworld passed slowly, almost as if it had stopped, and nothing had happened yet.

“Hmm~ Hmm~♪ Now, what should we do now~”

Lorelai hums without stopping for even a moment, wondering if I might escape from her fascination. Judging by the fact that she was worried, it seemed like she had no intention of eating me.

“It’s been a while since I ate~♪ It’s difficult to overeat~♪”

Despite the beautiful tone, the lyrics are very creepy. The situation was so scary that it would not have been surprising for an ordinary person in their right mind to faint, but for now, I was relieved of my worries.

Judging from the fact that Prinia yelled at me to quickly return to my body, it seems that it would be difficult for the Sirens to at least eat my body that contains faith.

If you think about it a little, it’s obvious, but I didn’t have time to think properly in the urgent situation of losing my mind. Anyway, they must have decided that I had caught them all, and the song didn’t contain such a powerful charm, so I didn’t completely lose my mind when I came back.

‘Let’s stay quiet for now.’

As long as you are sane, you can respond in any way. I protected my head with faith in case something unfortunate happened. I didn’t usually use my faith because I was trying to conserve my faith, but this incident made me feel the need to prepare for unexpected events.

“There’s nothing we can do~♪ It’s a waste, but I have no choice but to throw it into the sea like this~♪”

That’s a really good idea. Since I didn’t need to breathe, I wouldn’t have died if I fell into the sea.

“Okay then, goodbye~♪”

My body followed the song and slowly walked towards the sea, as if I were trying to kill myself. From ankles to waist, shoulders and neck. As the water slowly rose, paradoxically, my body regained its freedom. He began to escape the siren’s temptation.

Gurgling…….

If you were an ordinary person, it would have been meaningless for you to come out of the fascination so late. Since your lungs are already full of water, you will die regardless of how well you swim.

“Keuheup!”

Of course, I had none of that. As I hit my solar plexus hard and snorted and cleared my throat, water came out of my lungs. After that, he swam out to the surface.

“…What happens now?”

All around is the sea. I could see the coast not far away, but if I swam openly, there was a risk of being discovered by Lorelai again. Of course, this time I was protected from head to toe with faith, so I didn’t have to worry about being charmed again, but if the other person ran away, it would be a disaster.

I need to give her proper education, but without Sirocco, I can’t catch her, who can fly.

While I was worrying about whether it might be a good idea, I heard a familiar voice from far away.

“Yujieeeein!”

“Sirocco?”

It was Sirocco’s voice that returned from afar, creating a strong gust of wind.

“It went well. You came back at the right time.”

“What are you talking about? Eugene called you, right? That’s why I rushed over.”

It seems that the sound of me calling Sirocco right before I lost consciousness reached her. There was nothing strange about it, since we usually communicated without words, just with our thoughts. Of course, if that were the case, Sirocco would come later than expected.

“Where did you go?”

“Hehe, I was so excited to ride the sea breeze. I went to another continent and came back.”

“That’s why I brought this wind…”

Sirocco, who roamed freely on the sea breeze, returned by creating a huge typhoon. Although typhoons are said to grow enormously in size in the ocean, this one was truly huge.

“Hehehe… If we go inland with this kind of wind, it’s going to be a big problem, right? If nothing happens, I’ll let the wind go somewhere else and come back.”

“No. It just worked out well. There’s already a bird I want to scold. This much wind is enough.”

“Really? Then charge like this!”

“Please take some out for me too.”

When I stretched out my hand upward, Sirocco used the wind to pull me right out of the sea surface. My damp clothes and body quickly dried in the extremely strong wind, and my appearance returned to how it was before I fell into the water.

“…So I guess it’s really Notos or something.”

The wind blows like crazy. However, thanks to Sirocco’s help, the area around my body was quiet without any disturbance. Is there really a separate god of the wind, as he is flying gracefully in the eye of the storm?

“Let’s go.”

As soon as I reached the coast at a speed that was incomparable to usual, I saw Lorelei, the siren who had been toying with me just a moment ago. He looked very flustered.

“Ugh… Why is the wind blowing like this all of a sudden…? I’m going to fly like this!”

In fact, it is already on the verge of flying away. All I can do is hold on tightly to the reef with both arms and hold on somehow.

“Bring him in front of me.”

“What on earth did I do to be so scary…”

“To put it bluntly, I can say that I almost died because of him.”

Of course, he doesn’t really die. I would have lost my body and spent most of my remaining life in outer space. Then, of course, my chance to meet Arjen would have disappeared, and I would have lived a life as good as dead.

‘And Arjen, who can’t see me, will destroy everything again…’

Perhaps that Siren had almost done something that would have harmed countless lives.

“He’s a bad guy. I’ll catch you right away.”

When Sirocco made up his mind to manipulate the wind, all the wind flow that was a natural typhoon took on an artificial movement and rushed to one side. This was the direction Lorelai was holding on to.

“It’s holding up better than I thought?”

The monster, being a monster, was quite strong in its ability to withstand. Sirocco snorted at my words.

“Hmph. Is this still a joke? Now let’s get to it!”

As soon as Sirocco proudly shouted the start, surprisingly, the entire reef that Lorelei was holding started shaking. How strong does the wind have to be before a rock larger than a human body is blown away? In fact, the greatness of the spirit was that the surroundings around me were eerily quiet.

“Wow!”

In the end, the one siren that was floating in the air along with the rock let go of the rock, probably because it felt like it would hurt itself more if it held on. Sirocco did not miss the opportunity and dragged the much lighter Siren in front of me, leaving the rock alone.

“Gotcha.”

“Wow!”

Lorelai, who had a bewildered expression on her face as she felt the sudden gust of wind that made it impossible for her to breathe, was immediately caught by me. It looked like he was holding her face with one hand in the form of covering her mouth to prevent something that might happen.

“Hey. I was in a lot of trouble earlier.”

“Ugh!?”

“How are you alive? I’m going to die now, so what can I do?”

This wasn’t a threat, it was sincere. Once you try to kill me, there is no room for compromise. Even if I let him go, he would be killed by Arjen if he found out about this later.

No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think Arjen will kill her more appropriately and kindly than me, so it would be better for the Siren if I end it here.

“Ugh!!”

I didn’t know exactly what he was saying because his mouth was covered by my hand, but I could tell from the look in his eyes that he was asking for help.

“Umm… let’s do it like this. Since you didn’t kill me yourself, I’ll do the same to you.”

I just threw her into the sea. To prevent anyone from escaping by daring to fly, rough waves were created with the power of Sirocco, and I personally went in with them, so no matter what I did, I couldn’t escape.

“Kkeup…!”

After going into the water at a sufficient depth of about 30m and spending about 2 minutes, I got out on my own, leaving Lorelai struggling for her life.

“Don’t be too upset because I was left in the water for exactly the same amount of time.”

If she has anything to be upset about, it’s that unlike my lungs, which are just decoration, her lungs are a very sensitive and important organ.

I watched the sea level for a while and never saw Lorelei come up.
