CH 5

Volume Title: The protagonist’s heart is shaken.

「Now I can finally go outside.」

When I went into the magic circle on Alicia’s behalf, I didn’t think that I would be returning alive. But now that I’ve escaped from the castle of the evil god, I’m slowly starting to feel like I’ve survived.

「Anyway… I don’t know how to open this iron fence.」

There’s no keyhole, by the looks of it. The fence is cut into the ground, so maybe I can get it up by tweaking something….

「Let’s just give up on that idea」

Once I was away from the fence, I stacked crates on the wall next to the fence and climbed up.

「It’s faster to look for another way out rather than forcing myself.」

I can jump from this height because my status has increased. I tried to get down from the other side of the wall, but…..

「What the hell is this? Is there an invisible wall?」

Something was blocking my way and I couldn’t move forward. When I touched it, I felt a hard texture. It seems that there is an invisible barrier.

「Let’s try slashing it with the divine sword Borumunk for now.」

I took out my sword and drew it from it’s sheath. I held it wide and swung it down with all my might.

——Ginーーーーーーーーーーーtsu―― 1

You can hear the sound of metal clashing.

「What!?」

I feel the impact on my hand and it goes numb. It seems that this barrier cannot be broken by the divine sword.

「Could it be that even if the evil god dies, this barrier still operates?」

Apparently, the evil god’s house is well secured. If the sword with the highest attack power in my hand doesn’t work, it doesn’t matter what I hit it with.

I put my hand on my chin and I began to think. If there is an impact, it means that there is a substance. The problem is the hardness of it. If I can do sometihng about that, I can….

「Oh, yeah, that’ll work!」

Once I came up an idea, I had to act. I activate the Evil Beam I had in my inventory.

Then I hit the invisible barrier and heard a “jabbering” sound. It seems that I have successfully penetrated the barrier, and it widened the hole so that people can pass through.

「All right, I’ve managed to get through!」

I turn around and try to hit the invisible barrier. I was able to get out safely.

「Hm?」

I see some kind of distortion in front of me. It’s just where I hit the Evil Beam.

「I see, it automatically repairs itself.」

I thought that if I left it alone, I could use it as an entrance again, but it seems that I have to lose one of my Evil Beams to enter again.

I may come back to it eventually, but I’ll deal with it when it happens.

This is how I left the Evil God’s castle.

「For now, it’s important to know where I am.」

I walked through the forest. I’ve been walking straight ahead for several hours since I left the Evil God’s castle.

「If there was a village, I could ask someone.」

But no matter how far I walked, there was no sign of anyone. If there was a village, I could ask someone.

Isn’t it possible that the Evil God’s castle is located on an isolated island and there are no humans here?

「If this is the case, please show me anything!」

I haven’t seen not even a small animal since a while ago. I’m hoping to see anything that moves.

——gasagasagasagasagasa――

I heard some kind of noise. I hurriedly headed towards it. And then, after passing through the forest, I found a hall-like place and I saw there was.

「AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!」

A blood-red huge body that was over several meters tall. A horn extended from his forehead. A heavy club in his right hand.

「I know I said anything is possible, but I didn’t want this kind of thing!」

I was furious at the monster in front of me.

「Um, I’m going to ask you just in case you missed it or something?」

From what I’ve heard from people, the closest thing to the Titan in front of me would be an Ogre.

But the giant in from of me is clearly a size larger than the ogre and has a strange skin color.

「AEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!」

「I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I know you’re not going to miss it.」

After all, they’re raising a club. They’re ready to crush me.

「I survived the sacrifice ritual, but I’m not going to die here.」

It was the first humanoid monster I had ever met. Normally, I would be too scared to move, but the pressure of the monster in front of me was nothing compared to the Evil God.

There is still some distance between us now. If I ran into the forest, there was a good chance I could shake it off. That’s what I was thinking….

「Hmm. Is that……?」

I spotted a human behind the ogre.

She was wearing a hood, so I couldn’t see what she looked like, but from her build she looked like a young woman. 2

「I can’t just leave her to die?」

She seems to be unconscious, but if I run away, she’ll feel prey to the ogre.

I’ll need to attract this guy and let her go.

「I don’t have a choice. I’ll deal with him.」

I was so excited that I drew my divine sword and headed towards the Ogre.
