173-167 Overturn unreasonableness

Brad, who held the core of the labyrinth, couldn't believe that he was still alive after his master's slash.

He touched his body repeatedly and seemed very happy to feel that he was alive, but he didn't move or make a sound.

Maybe she thinks she's awake or something.

But right now, I don't care about Brad.

''Master, get over here now.

I drank the high-grade magic potion and began chanting, making sure that my master also entered the range of magic.

[Holy Healing Hand, Mother Earth's breath, feed on my magic power, and create a great sanctuary that feeds on the light wings of angels, a shield to repel the ungodly and dispel the evil defilements, Sanctuary Barrier]

A blue-white light is emitted, and a dome-like hemisphere is formed around me.

It's the trump card of the Anti-Villain.

If it wasn't for that nuke, I could have stepped through it without a problem but it's more important to think about survival than what's done.

'Luciel, what is this hemispherical body and the mirrors that revolve around it?

''This is my original warding magic that I created by applying the Sanctuary Circle, and I named it the Sanctuary Warding. Think of the spinning shield as the durability value of this barrier.

I was tempted to explain the awesomeness of this, but I don't have time to do so, so I'll explain it later.

''Is that person who normally holds the nucleus that produces so much miasma unconcerned?

You're almost out of your mind already, aren't you?

Lionel and his master were talking lightly, but his forehead was covered in sweat.

Lionel had broken a similar sweat once when he fought a red dragon, but as far as Master was concerned, it was something he had never seen before.

''Those spirits are scared too but we can get out of here, can't we?　We'll see your sister again, won't we?

Keep your fingers crossed. And if you can, keep your support alive.

There must be a reason for Lydia to stay here.

Will the genie bring the gods to me too?　I'm not in a situation where I can speak so lightly, so I'm patient and wary of Brad.

Hahaha, that feels good. I have a lot of strength in me. You guys were looking down on me earlier, weren't you?

Brad came up to us and began to speak, but his voice was doubly audible.

It was as if telepathic, magical powers were in his voice.

'Did it look like you were looking down on me?

I'll be conversing and timing my mentors' attempts on Brad.

Your eyes are just like those of that rotten nobleman from the duchy of Brange. I'm a reincarnation, you know. I had the appraisal from the beginning so I could become a merchant, and since there are only slimes, goblins, and horn rabbits near the town, I had a lot of fun defeating them, leveling up, and taking their skills.

You had a good time, didn't you?　Then why are you acting like you're trying to bring others down?

While burning his own body with the sanctuary wards, Brad continues to talk without pain.

He must have completely lost his sense of pain because he became undead.

A nobleman's son, who was a fool, kidnapped my lover, who swore a vow to be my future, played with him and then killed him. Why do you think?　I didn't like that the commoners seemed to enjoy it, that's all.

I'm sympathetic to you. But even I don't condone this nobleman. But that's what you're doing with your aristocrat.

Because I couldn't kill him by setting him up for a trap, I dropped him into slavery, which is a great crime for kidnapping and attempted murder.

That's when I realized that the world is not as strong as it seems. "I realized then that the world is not a place for the weak and the strong.

The words I threw at him finally stopped reaching Brad.

'Luciel, I think that guy's head has already flown off the handle.

Apparently, I've already been hallucinating.

Brad ignored the sanctuary wards and didn't stop walking as his body burned, and finally his body began to melt, but he didn't stop the action.

However, after a little while, he understood that he couldn't advance from a certain distance, he grabbed the labyrinth core and raised it high and opened his mouth.

''You want to stop this me?　I can't stop until I take Meena's enemy (katakata). I will kick out all those who stand in my way and turn them into nothingness [My body, my blood, and my magic are my sustenance, the violence that turns everything back to nothingness, manifest].

In the next moment, the place Brad was in exploded and was engulfed in black and purple smoke.

And from the black-purple smoke, I can feel a tremendous sense of intimidation swelling up more and more.

'Oi oi, I can feel an uncommon pressure from that smoke.

The sweat on Master's forehead was amazing.

''Master Luciel, can you activate the Sanctuary Circle in that state?''

Lionel asks me to do it, but I don't want to die, so I decide to do everything I can do too.

'I don't want to die, so I'll do it [Holy Healing Hand, Mother Earth's Breath, I wish to feed on my magic, and create a sanctuary for angels to use their light-winged, cleansing shields to scorch all evil and impure things, Sanctuary Circle].

A blue-white light swallowed up the smoke and engulfed everything.

The moment it seemed so, a crack appeared in the sanctuary circle, and as soon as it cracked, the evil god that he would have never wanted to meet if he could, finally manifested his appearance.

Although its appearance was closer to the demon race, it was very similar to a human figure.

''You are rude to attack me out of the blue, aren't you?

The figure is close to a human being, but just by hearing that voice, even if you have mastered the mental tolerance that has become Skill X, you can feel a pressure that gives you goose bumps all over your body, Lydia, who has no tolerance, sat down and shivered.

You can't even dare to disparage that figure of an evil god as being like an evil god.

''I apologize, can you leave?　I don't think the Lord God Kraya is going to be manifesting them forever...

That's harsh, to traverse this labyrinth in the person of a man is quite a feat, to be near the core of the labyrinth and not be undead... perhaps you are labyrinth raiders.

Where did they find out?　But he's not likely to leave if I admit it here, so he speaks with an effort to lie naturally as he exhales.

'What are you talking about?'　We just came after the one who blew up earlier, okay?

Kukkuhkukku, he's a god, but he's a god, so you can't lie to him.

If so, I'll try to maintain the ward while screaming in my mind to not ask him from the beginning.

The next moment I thought that, the evil god reached out his hand and waved it from left to right.

That's all there was to it.

And yet, the sanctuary ward wavered, the shields that were spinning around it cracked one by one, and the ward was also cracked.

''Holy Healing Hand, Mother Earth's breath, feed on my magic power, and create a great sanctuary that feeds on the light wings of angels, a shield to repel the impure, and dispels the evil defilements, Sanctuary Barrier.''

O holy healing hand, breath of mother earth, feed on my magic, and create a great sanctuary wherein angels' light wings serve as a shield to repel the ungodly and dispel the unholy. Sanctuary barrier]

[Holy healing hand, breath of Mother Earth, feed on my magic, create a great sanctuary where the light wings of angels, a shield to repel the ungodly and dispel the unholy, Sanctuary Barrier]

I manage to get away with what by activating the triple sanctuary wards.

''Ho, that's quite a feat.

Thank you. And goodbye. Now that you're done, please leave.

I really want you to leave. Lord Kraija, God of Sanctuary, your ancestors, the evil gods are here.

Please come and help me quickly.

I extend the conversation until my time is up, praying desperately for them to leave.

''Kukku, you're an interesting guy.''　

'It's no fun at all. Why are you intervening in the battle between the heroes and the demon king?　Both the reincarnated dragon and the spirits are a nuisance!　Don't put the public in more danger than that.

Isn't it okay if there's a world where demons are dominating the streets?

I've just never done it before, so let's give it a try.

I was under the illusion that he was just being flippant about it.

And I understood what he was saying.

It was simple. He's at the top of the pyramid, and he's just too curious to resist his urges. Well, you don't want to suppress it.

I could do it, so I did it. That's all there is to it, isn't it?

No matter how much you persuade this kind of opponent, he or she will surely continue to do so if you don't change the fact that you can enjoy a future dominated by the demon race.

''I don't know what kind of race the demon race is, but if their solid abilities are superior to those of humans and beastmen, they won't be able to live a peaceful life. Please, just go home.

Hmm, I like the idea of speaking frankly, of being an undead pawn in my own home, watching the world go by.

Oh, shit. That's when the evil one tried to show his power.

"I won't." "Perish.

Master and Lionel attacked with an all-out slash.

However, the slash was bounced off an invisible wall thirty centimeters in front of them.

Still, the two of them continue to unleash their slashes.

I'm grateful for that and put my magic power into it to make it stronger in the sanctuary wards.

Hm, it's interesting that you know that your attacks against me are meaningless, yet you still continue to do so.

Then if you get hurt in any way, just give it up and go.

"We will tear down God's walls to protect his disciples.

Slash and burn?　You'll be the first to go undead.

The Evil God is seriously going to laugh so hard that he's going to play with the two of them as toys.

''Master, your opponent Lionel is a god, even if he's in human form.

They laugh at my words.

They must have acted with full understanding that the other party is a god.

That's why Master and Lionel also set it up.

Because I could only see the future of annihilation if I didn't.......

Even so, when I thought that, Master called out to me.

'Luciel, I'll tell you this may be the last time. No matter how painful it is, if you give up, that's the end of it. If you keep struggling, even if it's muddy there, you might see the light. That's what I taught you.

''I'm your master, but there's a chance that Lord God Kraya will come to your aid if you buy some time.

'Luciel, do you think a god, even an evil god, wouldn't consider that possibility?　Well, let's just leave it to the master.

Master.....

Although his back is tremendously large, I can only see the future when my master dies.

And Lionel, who is comparable to that master, also smiles at me and expresses his gratitude.

It's not just us, but this world has seen a new light since we met you. It's not just us, but many others as well. If I can save you like that, I will give my body, which is turning into old bones, to you.

'Lionel, you're a slave because you haven't settled it yet.　Besides, you know what Nahlia's like.

'Nahlia understands me. And the reason I was a slave was to redeem my personal vendetta. But the days I spent with you saved me from the narrow mindedness of a personal vendetta. And because it is my duty as a servant to work for the Lord.

"Lionel...

They were both ready to die.

They were willing to burn their own lives to save mine.

How do I keep them from dying?　What can I do?

You've already said goodbye, right?　Come on.

The evil god's words sounded like he was laughing.

That pissed me off, and I stopped being scared that I would die if I didn't get through this anyway.

'Evil God, you really should just give up and go home, I won't let anyone turn you undead as long as I'm here.

Holy healing hands, the breath of Mother Earth, I wish to feed my magic, create an armor that will create a sanctuary for angels to protect themselves from all defilement with light wings, Sanctuary Armor.

Holy healing hands, the breath of Mother Earth, I wish to feed my magic, create an armor that will create a sanctuary for angels to protect themselves from all defilement with light wings, Sanctuary Armor.

I activated the second trump card, Sanctuary Armor, on my master and Lionel.

It was only a few days ago that this magic was successful.

''Master, Lionel, I won't let you die, so let me beat you to a pulp with Naruhaya and retreat.

"Oh.

I'm guessing Whirlwind Brod.

I'm guessing it's Lionel the Warrior.

The two of them go all out from the beginning, leaping out of the sanctuary ward and attacking the evil gods, but their attacks are stopped by hitting an invisible wall.

Not once or twice, however, the two of them continue with their coordinated attacks.

There are attacks from the Evil God as well, but he avoids them all and launches a counter attack.

''It's been a long time since I've fought a human race, but it's a bit weak, they're gradually making our attacks faster and faster, but if they hit you, you'll become undead, so be careful.''

The evil god laughed at that.

But thanks to the fact that he had been holding back until now, he understood why the verbal attacks had stopped.

That invisible wall was the miasma.

The miasma has become transparent, but the moment the attacks stopped, the faintest trace of purple smoke was visible.

Whether this was a hint given by the evil god or a trap, I might not be able to judge the situation correctly, but I decided to bet on it.

My mentor and Lionel had attacked me many times, and it was an opportunity that I grabbed after avoiding many attacks.

In order to repay that debt, I activated an unchored sanctuary circle at the right moment when the two of them crossed paths with the evil gods.

As a result........both of the Evil God's arms were scarred, albeit faintly.

I look at the two of them, curious about their words, but nothing has changed at all.

'I don't want to see you anymore, so go away. And what happens to the magic circle that comes out of here?

The Evil God threw the core of the labyrinth and just before he disappeared, he announced the conditions for the magic circle of return to appear and disappeared.

''Once the undead are gone, you can leave the labyrinth.

What the hell does that mean?　Lydia, are you okay?

Nah, that's something. Oh, I'm sorry I can't help you.

Lydia, who was sobbing, decided to let it go.

''Master, Lionel, you two were really awesome. The two of you and........what?!

When I called out to them, they smiled happily and broke down.

Their sanctuary armor had been shattered into pieces.

I don't know if you're a master... but I'm glad you're... safe...

I'm glad to be able to do my duty as a squire...

The two of them looked calm and were beginning to accept death.

''I'll heal you now...!

I wiped the tears that had unexpectedly spilled out of my eyes and was desperately trying to think of a way to save them.

'I'm sorry.......but I've already become.......half undead. At least.........kill them and receive........the experience.

Quickly ... before you fall into ... darkness.

A thin layer of miasma was beginning to leak from their bodies.

They would rapidly become undead from here.

Are we going to continue like this?　

People will eventually die.

But is such an inexcusable death acceptable?　Since the evil gods are gods, I'm frustrated with the Lord God who doesn't handle the evil gods by doing evil things.

All the things that have been turned into undead by the same evil gods before have been purified and not saved as life, but you're saving them because you know them?

I felt like I could hear a lot of voices, but my answer was surprisingly simple.

''If the lives of ordinary people were reincarnated and came to this world, then it was probably to save these two people. If you think about it that way, this is a place to bet on. Besides, it's not like we're going to die for sure.

I take out one high-grade magic potion after another and drink it as I stand up.

''You two don't know? (Gok, gok, gok, gok) The undead don't have much experience (gok, gok, gok, gok) What will happen to my peace if my master and first squire die at once?　Think about it for a minute and say something.

I call up the status and start manipulating the SP.

'Master, what Master said long ago didn't lie. I never thought I would use the accumulated SP for a proper reason.

I'd spend SP from the status screen to get the limit-breaking skill for two hundred pounds and the supreme luck for one hundred pounds.

It was explained that breaking the limit is something that exceeds your limit, and the disadvantage is that the recoil is twice as much against things beyond the limit.

The great luck teacher wasn't able to take heart in this matter, so I asked the high luck teacher to come to me.

It was a gamble, so I wanted to put my trust in luck.

''Lydia, take care of this.''

I throw two hermit keys and a small bag of white gold and gold coins to Lydia.

''If you lose consciousness, put it in the coffin. And if you don't have enough money to live on, you'll have to come up with that.

I said and smiled at Lydia and didn't hear her reply, but this time she looked at her mentor and Lionel and laughed and said something from above.

'I'm going to let you two die once. It probably hurts enough to die, but there's a lot I haven't taught you two yet, and I still want you two to laugh at each other and put your training on, so be prepared.

I slapped my face, took a deep breath once, and quietly began to chant.

[Holy Healing Hand, Mother Earth's Breath, I wish to feed on my magical power, and create a sanctuary for angels to scorch all the evil and impure things, using the shield of purification, like light wings, Sanctuary Circle]

First, I don't want them to remain undead, so I activate Sanctuary Circle.

Furthermore, to prevent everything from disappearing as it is, I continue to apply an extra heel.

[Holy Healing Hand, Mother Earth's Breath, I wish to feed on the magic power, the breath of the angels, restore his person to his original form, and wish for the mystery of life. Extra Heel]]

And before their souls ascend to heaven, I will call them back and establish their souls.

Even if it's the magic of X that has been designated as forbidden magic, if the intervention of an evil god unreasonably picks your fate, you can overturn that unreasonableness, right?

[O God of holy healing, O God of destiny, by the ancient oaths, I hope that you will bring those who are not destined to decay back to their original destiny (Linne), and feed them with my magic, and in the name of charity, weave life into the future, seeking the judgment of the gods, Revive]

A golden light, different from the pale light, fell on Master and Lionel.

I watched it and was about to exhale in relief at that moment. My heart raced as if it was going to burst with a thud, and I almost lost consciousness there. But our bodies hadn't yet fully regenerated.

I clenched my teeth and felt something warm flowing from my nose and ears, but I put strength into my legs and stepped on them to put my magic into them.

Then I managed to watch as Ni's body fully regenerated and recovered, to the point where the golden light lost its glow, and I finally lost consciousness.
