Day 71 Before dawn, Murimuri Castle Interior
Ive used up a good chunk of my mana. The remaining magic power wont be enough to activate Lifesaving. For the sake of this day I refrained from selling magic stones, using them to augment the mana battery, but destroying a castle turned out to be harder than expected.
I mean, I never thought that middle-aged men will revive, and add 30,000 more middle-aged men to the counter? And all of them are middle-aged men?!
Moreover, I had to thoroughly destroy it and bury it, sealing them underground to make sure that even if they wont be able to do anything even if they are revived withRise from the Dead, wasting extra mana. Without preliminary arrangements there was a chance that mana wouldnt even be enough.
Even the bamboo grove in the beginning, I already had seeds planted beforehand and only made them grow. Thanks to that it cost me only a fraction of mana that I wouldve used on Ice Needle. Even the traps at the Old Murimuri Castle were made byEverlasting Trapso I barely used any magic power.
I actually even managed to restore some with Magic Absorptionwhile I was running around. And while I was operating the souvenir store at Fake Dungeon I was carving cracks on walls and pillars of the Old Murimuri Castle to ensure a clear collapse of the structure.
Even the explosion and the fire itself were produced by igniting large quantities of volatile oil, which I found in the Capital, placed in hidden passages and rooms of the castle beforehand, so I didnt use mana for that.
The biggest miscalculation was being forced into using it at this stage because of Rise from the Dead. Even so, new Murimuri Castle is a part of stampede countermeasures, so its not like I could avoid making it.
I made the foundation and base parts and then buried them, so it was far less energy consuming than making it from zero, even so, in terms of remaining magic power, it was a huge loss.
It cant be helped, but on top of having been forced to play one of my cards, my remaining mana was reduced by more than a half in one go, a heavy loss!
After all, there is no way the Churchs knights or that coffin girl would die from something as trivial as fire or cave in. I was taking them too lightly, but those knights have enough strength to evenly match 29 of my classmates in battle. Their equipment also wasnt bad. And that girl is too much.
Yeah, that sexy body, with beautiful temping toned long amber legs, that while appear well-trained, also have a certain sweet thickness, with round buttocks and slender waist and lovely exposed stomach and navel, its definitely way way way too much in highschool boy sort of way But she is in the same tier with Armored Pres-san and Slime-san?
Risking a nuclear decay In the worst case scenario but thats the only way to defeat her. Moreover, its a chance to hold tight to a pretty girl! Thank you for a treat?
This little shit, calling God an old fart! He has to be first tortured, reformed, and forced to cry plenty before being given Divine Punishment, riiight?
Right, you ask? Arent you a bit too shameless to do all of this on your own and then pushing the blame on a higher being? If you truly believe in all of this, then pray instead of causing mischief, and if prayer alone triggers it, then its a real divine punishment.
If you do it then its just a massacre. Whats up with the Church pushing the fault their own atrocities on others? Well, if there is a line about mass slaughter in the old geezers teachings then it is his responsibility?
Well, if there is such a thing as a god in the world, then all of the tragedies are their responsibility, and if they cant take responsibility then they arent a god? What Im trying to say, God Is Dead, and if they are still alive Im killing them myself.
Thats why you guys are just deviant old man fetishists, and will die as a bunch of mass murdering perverted degenerates. Well then, die?
I cant deal with a stampede. With that girl around, even saving ones own life seems unlikely, forget about trying to save energy or mana for later. Thats why Im first going to crush the low-life knights. Then I can do something about that girl.
I cant see it going anywhere, but doing something with pretty ladies is my passion and my profession, so Im going to do my best!
Thats why, Im going to send those geezer fetishists to the old geezers White Room. Then they can love each other there as much as they want!
Going all out without holding back Ill defeat that girl while she is still restrained. While going through self-inflicted decay IMagic Wrapskills one after anotherTeleportation,Gravity,Atomic Manipulation,Holdingin a completely uncontrollable state, strengthening myself to the max.
Without trying to save on mana I pour all of it into Staff of the World Tree. Sucking up my mana the staff grows extremely fast, and begins to pulsate. By now I already know what is going to come out of it After all, it uncharacteristically chose to confess?
