155-149 Wish

The people who were killing the demons were Garba-san, Walrabis, who I honestly didn't think would be able to fight, and the adventurers.

We rushed into the crowd of demons as we ran through, and a pile of dead bodies was created without me ever touching them.

The adventurers were trying to collect them.

The smell of the scene was horrible and awful, and I wanted it to rain and wash it all away, but with the blue sky, it didn't look promising.

That's why I had proceeded while casting a cleansing spell, but considering the uncommon pile of corpses on the front lines and the effort to remove the smell, it was indeed a headache.

''Gulgar!　Are you saved?

Garba-san passed in front of me and I found myself hugging Gulgar-san.

My brother was dying soon after returning from Yenis, so many demons must have died a miserable death.

It's obvious from the look on Walravis' face that he is about to die.

I'm sure they had to put a slave Walrabis in place so that Mr. Gurger would know when he was dead.

His thoroughness of character seemed to have been further refined in Yenis.

'Ah. Luciel kept me alive.

Garba-san reacted to Gruger-san's words and turned to me and thanked me with a smile.

You were so worried about Gulgar-san that you didn't even notice my face earlier.　

''Luciel-kun, thank you so much for helping Gulgar.

The trouble is mutual. Thank you for all the help you gave me in Yenis.

He looks really happy, but I think he's really disciplined, even though he's a benefactor to me.

'Yeah. Everyone was sad that they couldn't see you off. How did you manage to win the hearts of so many beasts?

Well it was with the help of both of you.

He tried to assess the situation, regretting that he had broached a topic he didn't want to be touched upon himself.

However, Galba's sharp eyes turned to Master Brod.

'In exchange, Brod, it's good that you defeated the chimera, but don't just go straight into it and fall over, ignoring your command. It's annoying.

Don't stare at me like that. So what's going on now?

Well, I could tell immediately that Garba-san wasn't really angry either.

I didn't see any signs of murderous or angry temper at all.

Master Brod knew that and immediately began to check the situation.

As far as I can see, they are not fighting with the demons, but rather stripping them off.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

Apparently he's mostly settled in, but is he still going to stay here?

I decided to follow Master Brod and watch.

'I see. So did that raccoon over there help you?

Ummm ... a little bit?

Walrabis' ability is a transformation, but it comes back immediately.

I don't know what good it will do, so I decided not to interfere.

"I was desperate to burn the odor-eliminating herb," she said, "but I don't want to be scolded. I don't want to be scolded again~

'Walrabis, how do you like your life as a slave?'

Why are we so comfortable with our lives as slaves and why are we here, saints?

Just as I called out to him, the Walrabis started to shake.

For some reason I was shocked that he was shaking that much.

'I'm not a saint, but I finished my term of office in Yenis, so I went to Meratni for a term.

"It's a nightmare~. I can't believe that a demon that emits a blue-white light will appear right after Galba's return...

I couldn't pick up the sound of Wallabis whispering something to me, but Kefin and Ketty seemed to have heard it well and were giving me a sharp look.

I decided to stop devoting so much time and emotion to the Walrabis.

And I had found the sealing gate, which I could see from a distance.

I really wanted to get my head around the situation, wondering why on the plains... why outdoors.

When do you expect to clear the site?

Master Brod and Galba react to my words, and Master Brod answers me.

''Well I don't know, the demons are coming from Grandle, but wouldn't it be better if the adventurers over there eradicated the demons boiling from the labyrinth?　We took out the stronger demons in the mines, so I'm sure this one will be fine for the time being.

I don't want to die, so I can't blame them for thinking I heard it.

More importantly, what do we do with that thing?

I only had one choice.

Don't you need a recovery officer for the time being?

Yeah. No one seems to have been injured that badly. Why do you ask?

There's a big gate over there, does anyone else have a view?

Everyone looked in the direction I was pointing, but the reaction was very muted.

'Luciel-sama, could it be?'

The first person I noticed was Kefin.

Lionel and the others looked at me as if they were surprised, but I wanted them to know that I was the one who was most surprised.

''Ah. That's the gate of the seal.''

'Luciel, what's going on?　What is that seal gate?　Explain in detail.

I thought that Instructor Brod, the guild master, might know, but apparently not so much.

I was about to open my mouth, thinking that I could explain it to my master, but Estia and Walavis caught my eye and stopped me from explaining.

''........First of all, I can't talk with Walravis here. I can't talk about this with anyone other than those I can trust.

Are you sure this is important?　Then I'll take the Walabis with me.

'I'm sorry Galva. I'm sorry, but could you please refrain from taking Esther out as well?

Yes. Okay.

Mr. Galva grabbed Walrabis by the scruff of his neck and moved away, letting go of Estia to follow him.

It didn't seem to me that I had any choice if Estia had still betrayed me.

I decided to give everyone an official tip other than to tell them about the sealed gate.

I decided to have them take the pledge as a prelude to that.

'I'll have everyone pledge, not just Master Brod and Mr. Grugar. The price is a few minutes of memory from now. The moment you try to tell someone in any way, you lose your memory.

'All right. I'm the guildmaster and I have a right to know.

After Master Brod said that, everyone took the pledge.

After the oath is finished, I begin to explain.

''The seal gate is for reaching the place where the dragon is sealed. When the dragon is unsealed, a large magical stone will appear in this vicinity. Promise that no one will ever touch it. If you fail to keep it, we will all die.

''I'm not sure, but that magic stone is cursed, but is it important to Luciel?''

It certainly doesn't help that people think I want a magic stone.

Even I would think so if I hadn't seen that scene.

''No it's just that an evil god will appear and turn everything around the magic stone into undead. That's all.

?!!!!

Everyone couldn't hide their surprise as I assured them, including Lionel and the others who knew the situation.

''Then why don't we just leave that sealed dragon in place?　Then no one has to die, right?

''That's what I thought too, but unfortunately, if that happens, the world will be swallowed up by demons and monsters before the brave are born.

I knew Master Brod was a good man, but because he's a really good man, I decided to have this man put a lid on my mind that wanted to run away from the door in front of me.

This was my consideration, which I hadn't even told Lionel and the others about.

When I laughed helplessly, astonishment once again took over the place.

''Well why would you be in such danger?''

It just happened, but I just broke the dragon's seal. From then on, I've been working within the limits of what I can do.

I slap my chest and show him a smile.

''Well I see. You've become a real adventurer without even knowing it.

If this is real, I'd love to be an imposter.

Master Brod felt as if he had made up his mind about something, but it was only for a moment, and then he smiled.

'Well I get it. I'll leave this one to you.

''Do me a favor. You all can still cut anyone who tries to get close to you, you can cut them to the point of not dying. I'll cast a recovery spell on you later.

""What."

Then I'll go do a quick unsealing before I purify.

I told him and started walking to the gate of the seal.

There were no demons around the gate and it felt like they were waiting for me to come.

'I don't want to touch it, but it's no use. May it be a quiet dragon, if possible.

I make a wish and touch my hand to the gate and the magic begins to be sucked out.

'Gushing yellow?　And that means a thunder dragon?

As I was thinking about this, a pattern emerges and the door opens.

I turned around to check it out, but I could see by the look on their faces that they still couldn't see us all.

I raised one hand and ducked under the gate and the gate slowly closed and the retreat disappeared completely.

There were no stairs like before, but I could see a dragon lying across the passage, discharging blue, yellow, and black lightning.

''If this is a trap, I'm confident we're going to die a few deaths lightly.

Fearfully but surely, I went ahead and almost reached the magic circle when a voice rang out in my brain.　

''Liberator of the Evil God's seal, Holy Dragon, Fire Dragon, Earth Dragon's curse-release, you have come to break my seal this time.

Apparently the owner of the voice is a thunder dragon.

It's stranger than that.

'You can stay sealed and still be conscious!

He was the last of my dragons to be sealed, so he has time to spare.

It is true that the dusky miasma does not seem to be covering the body from the outside.

It's a very good idea to be able to have a good idea of what to do with it.

It's a very good idea to have a good time.

'I see. Then may I ask you a question?

All right, the liberator has the right to know everything.

The thunder dragon seemed to be languid, but he seemed to answer and turned his head towards us.

''Quickly, how many seals do you have in all?''

Eight. Free me, and I shall have four seals left to seal.

Light, dark, water and wind?

Oh, and the spirits are the Six Spirits, which is the information you need to become a sage.

Do you understand?

If the sage's condition is the blessing of all the spirits and all the dragons, I would not want to take it, but....

''My reborn dragon, the one who knows everything.

''Then how do we prevent the evil gods from coming out of the demon stone that remains after the dragon is released?''

Now that we're facing this, I thought that if we could get through this, we wouldn't have to give birth to undead anymore.

However, the thunder dragon told me right away that it's not that simple.

''In the deepest part of the labyrinth, it's not the magical stone that remains, it's the core of the labyrinth that remains, if you touch it, the manager of the labyrinth will be called.

...What an unreasonable world we live in.

'Is there no countermeasure?　You know, informing other gods and stopping the evil gods from acting.

The moment you move the nuke out of the building, the labyrinth will be gone.

'Then what does this place look like?　The mine sank, and the sealing gates were outdoors.

《? That's not right, this labyrinth of intrigue in Grandle should not have collapsed.

"I entered these gates from the town of Meratoni in the St. Schlur Cooperative State to the ruins of a mine on the road to Grandre.

Then I shall seal up my spirit and hasten to the labyrinth of Glandle.

The thunder dragon suddenly raised its body and electric discharges flew all over the place.

As expected, I didn't feel like I could prevent it from getting an electric shock, so I managed to jump to the side.

''Whoa!　That's dangerous. What is it all of a sudden?

Luckily, I managed to avoid it without snatching it.

''If this is the case, the maiden is in danger, hurry.

His voice sounded like a cry of grief to me.

It sounded as if he was worried for his beloved family.

''Well where will you go when I leave here?''

You will be returned to your rightful place in the maze of Glandle's labyrinth. Now go into Glandle's maze of intrigue and rescue me!

As the thunder dragon's tension increased, another discharge came flying in.

''That's why it's so dangerous!　We're not letting you go, we're leaving.

Don't stop the wheel of destiny. Be sure to save the maiden.

Because as expected, I think it's easier to live in a world where adventurers stroll around than a world where demons and demons stroll around.

''I can't make any promises, but I'll do my best.''

We will see you through.

I activate the Sanctuary Warding. As I look at the thunder dragon that doesn't move even though it should be in considerable pain, I feel lucky that I didn't have to fight it, and the black discharge gradually disappears.

''Kukkuk. Liberator, I entrust you with my blessing and my power. Sono Waist Wand in front of you.

When I put the illusion staff in front of me, the light of the lightning dragon was sucked into the illusion staff.

''I'm sorry to wind you up, priestess to protect the future.''

'There's no such thing as a dragon begging.

"Lucielu, my knight. We are the knights of the world, and now we are the equilibrium of the world, Rafiluna...

I was about to hear the thunder dragon's voice as he muttered something that sounded like a name, when pain rushed through my body.

''Guaaaah high heels.''

After the thunder dragon fell, a bolt of lightning shot across the room.

''I thought you were going to die, as expected.

I almost died from the unexpected leftover gift of omnidirectional lightning, but I decided to get all the items in the lightning dragon's room as a consolation prize.

Knowing that the items and money here are in the control room of the labyrinth, I jumped into the magic circle that appeared with my head in my hands.

When I was surrounded by light, the usual mechanical sound announced the acquisition of the title.

Pilon [Title: We have acquired the blessing of the Thunder Dragon]　

The light subsided and I opened my eyes.

It seemed that I had been transported from where the gate was, to a place that had been moved a bit.

As I was assessing the situation like that, Master, Lionel and the others ran over to me.

''Did you defeat the dragon safely?''

Master Luciel, I see you have returned.

Without answering their voices, I decided to proceed to keep my promise to the Thunder Dragon.

''We will head to the Labyrinth of Grandle immediately now. ''Master, Lionel, everyone please lend me your strength.''

My sudden statement frightened everyone for a moment, but then my answer came quickly.

"Hurry up and get the carriage out of here. "Hurry up and get that carriage out of here!

"We are Master Luciel's followers, so we will accompany you.

I really appreciate it.

Mr. Garba and Mr. Grugar remained at the scene, and the rest of us were to accompany them.

'I'll be back as soon as I can, so please wait and see.

If you can, you should go and traverse the maze over there.

There's some lunch in there, you can eat it later.

Thanks to the kindness of Garba and Grugar, he and his trusty friends set off for the labyrinthine city-state of Grandle.
