Chapter 176: The Sage Learns Part of the Truth

At that moment, I felt my mind go blank.

Astonished, I thought over the truth I'd just heard.

The Will of the World gave me power

Of course, you're surprised about it. Even I'm surprised about it, after all.

Gwen said that in agreement.

She then continued in an aggrieved tone.

Based on what I feel, you got the support after you entered the spiritual world. It seems to allow you to ignore your opponents ability. Congratulations!

Gwen clapped as she stared back at me.

However, it was clear that she didnt really appreciate it.

She then began to complain in a slovenly manner.

I thought it was strange from the beginning. I couldnt dissolve the geas regardless of how much time has passed. I originally tried to dissolve the magic while you were busy fighting the two. I never knew it was something I couldnt dissolve.

Gwen continued her monologue.

She was dissatisfied that her own countermeasure ended in failure.

I understood that feeling.

I had suffered from unforeseen circumstances many times.

I'd experienced that both during my time as Sage and Demon Lord.

Even though I was in a different position now, I figured that difficulties would always come my way.

The Will of the World Although we, the beasts of the outer worlds, refer to that with another name, basically its power is troublesome. To those of us who are trying to invade this star, we consider it as something close to a nemesis. By its very nature, it would always stand in our way.

You know the true nature of the Will of the World?

I asked her with certainty.

I was always impeded by the Will of the World ever since I became the Demon Lord.

It seemed the beast of the outer world considered it as their nemesis, but that was also true for me.

The Will of the World was always trying to get rid of me using unreasonable phenomena.

Gwen sighed loudly and replied while having a distant eye.

We tried to slip through it by trial and error, after all. Well, I guess I suffered damage from it brilliantly this time.

Gwen laughed as if she found that funny.

After laughing for some time, she became expressionless.

Well, lets put the end of our chat here. Although I have fun talking with Havelt-san, I still have tons of things I have to do. Its time for us to part.

Do you think I will let you go just like that?

I pointed my magic powered sword at her.

The forbidden spells were ready to be unleashed at a moments notice.

Gwen put her hand on her waist and pondered.

And due to whatever reason, she folded her fingers in front of her chest.

Uhn can you let me go if I beg you?

She looked at me with upturned, moistened eyes.

Obviously, I didnt lower my sword.

I kept exuding my killing intent.

Gwen then shrugged her shoulders exaggeratedly.

She then exhaled sulkily.

Of course, thats what you do. I knew that already, really.

Gwen mourned as her outline collapsed.

She lost her form and transformed into innumerable tentacles from end to end.

Her body rapidly swelled, to the point I had to look up.

Then what appeared before me was a mountain of tentacles sitting above the sand.

gess Ill wam up befre fightng the defense mechanism

A voice came down from above.

On the surface of one of the tentacles, there was a mouththe only thing left from her humanoid figure.

Then eyeballs emerged from it and spun around as it stared at me.

Wll then, it's serius tme fr Gwen-san will sh you lik an inect, so b redy for it, okay?

Gwen, who'd turned into a tentacle monster, attacked with the momentum of an avalanche.
