214 197. Sealing

"... here... what?

When I woke up, it was a dark place. I don't even know if I'm standing straight or upside down or falling asleep without knowing the top, bottom, left, or right.

But it's a place I remember. You can't forget. Because this place...

"Did you wake up"

I heard a beautiful woman. Turning to the voice, a beautiful woman stood there as usual.

"Long time no see, Goddess Astel"

"Yeah. It's been a while. Mr. Ravelt Runwalker. We met before when we first fought the Demon General."

Astel, the goddess who looks at my face (I don't know if it does) and smiles Ugh. But you called me here.

"Mmm, I think I could talk to you a little bit more."

"But what do you mean you called me here?

Astel, the goddess who read in my heart, swells her cheeks. When someone with a beautiful face like made swells their cheeks, they are incredibly cute, but not now. I'd like to get down to business as soon as I can.

"... you have no choice. Then let me tell you why I called you. Even so, you must have already noticed."

"The one possessed by you, Devil's Sword?

When I ask, the goddess Astel shakes her head vertically. Is it still true? The atmosphere has changed gallantly since that black sword possessed you. I guess that was the cause.

"The Devil's Sword you say - the Haidong Master had my protection. He was giving the title what he called the 'Bearer'. The ability was simply to be strong just by taking it."

... I didn't know the Devil's Sword - Kaido had protection. Because there are five of you in this world, were you the last one to go with me, Caro, Tigris and Chanel?

Besides, can you be strong just by taking it? I don't know the details, but I'm guessing it's because they attacked me.

"It's not only an attack, it's also a curse, etc. But that has become a vendetta. As you nicknamed it, he had the Devil's Sword. If it's true, if you have that one, there's supposed to be some abnormality in your body. But he was able to use it normally."

"You think the cause is because of the protection?

"Yes, I have withstood enough because of the protection I would not have been able to withstand. Because of this, we also have the power of the demons that no one else can have."

Sure enough, the guys with the Devil's Sword mutated their bodies without exception and were in a state where they were rampant without self. But Kaido normally used it as a sword.

"So, what's the guy who possessed the body of the ocean? I had some pretty creepy magic."

"Yes. Possessed by him is the demon god Baron, whom the Demon Generals are trying to revive"

"... still?"

I had some anticipation. When it comes to opponents with such disgusting magic and all seven demon generals lowering their heads, there will only be about as many demons.

"Yeah. But it's not a complete resurrection. I haven't unsealed it yet."

"Sealed?"

"Yes, five seals on this continent. There's still something I sealed the baron a long time ago."

A seal that stays on the continent? Then the next thing they know, they're coming for you.

"It would be unsealed. If the seal is lifted, the demon god Baron will be completely resurrected. Mr. Ray, I have a favor to ask you."

... If they say this so far, you don't have to say any more. You want me to keep my seal. Astel, the goddess who can read my mind, sees my heart whine and looks like she's about to cry.

"... I know you're the only one who's made it impossible. Sorry, sir."

"Nothing. It will be now. As I've said before, I've been involved enough. And you can't let me destroy the world I live in right now."

My resolve remains the same. Will they ruin the rest of my life? Astel, the goddess, felt my resolve, too, pounding and weeping. And when I wiped it, it turned into a divine look this time.

"Now, my apostle, Mr. Ravelt Runwalker. I'll tell you where the seal is. The place is the Great Divine Tree in the Kingdom of Forestfaria, the Temple of the Water Dragon in the Kingdom of Sealia, the Great Golden Mountain in the Federal Republic of Eernort, my temple in the Archadian Papal State and finally the Devil's Land in the Kingdom of Nanol"

All of this sounds like an important place.

"Speaking of which, one Azel of the Demon General said the final point was the Demon's Land, is there something over there?

"The body of the demon god Baron is sealed over there. Didn't you wonder? That only that land is unusually overflowing with demons. The reason is because of the temper that leaves the body of the demon god Baron, even if it is sealed. Because of this, demons grow stronger."

I had no idea that was the cause of the demons of the devil's earth. Sure, I've wondered, but I thought that's the place.

"Mr. Ravelt Runwalker. Forgive me for entrusting you with the fate of the continent. No apologies, but I'll give you this."

What glows from Astel, the goddess who said so, flies to me. It fits in my hand, and I look at it.

"Keys?"

"Yes. It is the key to opening a certain door. You'll need it sooner or later. The Dragon Kings know where the door is. It will be up to you to tell me."

I don't know what it is, but is it difficult? And you're done for, my goddess Astel's body glows.

"I won't be able to come out for the time being. I can only entrust you to forgive me."

"What, we'll protect ourselves as much as we live in. Astel, the goddess, wishes us well. As the goddess of victory."

When I say such a thing, the goddess Astel squirts and laughs.

"Okay. I hope you all win."

And finally my consciousness interrupted the smile of Astel the Goddess.
