Chapter 186: The Sage Fights Together with the Great Spirit

I thanked the Great Spirit.

Sorry for having you help. I appreciate it.

Im merely doing my duty as a defense mechanism.

The Great Spirit responded coolly.

She was one of the defense mechanisms that protected the world.

Although she rarely acted, she possessed tremendous power.

From the perspective of humankind, she was practically a living disaster.

I also consciously controlled my actions to make sure Im not being hostile to the defense mechanisms.

Because the beasts of the outer world were the opponents this time, we ended up in such cooperation because our interests aligned.

She was a very dependable ally.

The Great Spirit silently gazed at me.

She seemed to notice something.

Then spoke up as if she was impressed.

I see that youve been defeating the beasts around. I also appreciate your efforts.

Its my duty as the Demon Lord.

I replied in a similar manner to hers earlier.

The Great Spirit probably sensed the miasma of the beasts contained inside me.

She must have inferred my actions from that.

Both of us happened to wish for the beasts elimination.

Although the Great Spirit was unreasonably strong, she was only an individual regardless of how strong she was.

There was a limit to how quickly she could subjugate them.

Perhaps that was why she wanted my cooperation.

The Great Spirit continued and pointed out.

It seems that the beast which consumed your spirituality has been driven away.

Aah, I had a hard time doing so, but I managed to solve it.

I answered as I remembered Gwen, who was imprisoned.

After a lot of hesitation, I tried to confirm with the Great Spirit.

Did you change your course of actions?

It must be your imagination.

The Great Spirit denied my doubts.

It felt like she meant to say something else.

However, if I asked her too much, she might end up in a bad mood.

I decided not to push the matter further.

Perhaps there was something that made her change her mind.

I will proceed to destroy the beasts on this continent. Can you help me with that?

Of course I will.

I gave an immediate response to the Great Spirits request.

It was something we ought to do as soon as possible.

There was an undeniable possibility that the beasts reinforcements might come soon.

Before such a thing could happen, I wanted to diminish their strength as much as possible.

By using the beasts of the outer world as sacrifice to the Valley of the Dead, my powers would also be amplified.

Moving to exterminate them would only give me an advantage.

In that case, we will split up and defeat them.

The Great Spirit turned away and flew to the sky beyond.

She disappeared into a distance beyond my line of sight in the blink of an eye.

Although it was hard to tell from the conversation earlier, she seemed to be quite enthusiastic.

Shell likely tell me off later if I do it too slowly.

As I worried about that, I left Grom and Yuura by transferring away.

I went towards a beasts location that was far away from where I was.

After that, the Great Spirit and I defeated the beasts in various places, and we managed to expel the beasts within the continent after about half a day.

There wasnt any particular danger and we managed to quickly reduce their numbers.

As a finishing touch, I transferred the members of the Demon Lords Army that were spread about the different battlefields around after the battles, and made them collect the beasts carcasses. That was the end of the turmoil.

And so, the continent came to experience brief tranquility.
