Bracelet
Kugugung
The three of them reached the end of the dungeon.
After destroying all the golems and reaching the end, the door that had been blocking their way slowly began to open.
“Is this the end of the dungeon?”
Viceus walked slowly as if it was his first time in this place.
Indeed, he had only encountered it in the novel and had never been here before.
As he entered through the door, a small room appeared.
On the desk in the center of the room, there was a small chest.
Viceus approached the chest and picked it up.
“I’ve seen this before.”
“You’ve seen it.”
The two women, seeing Viceus naturally enter the room and pick up the chest, confirmed that he had been here in the previous chapter.
Viceus opened the chest.
Inside, there was a small bracelet.
Just like in the novel!
Viceus was amazed to see the item that appeared in the novel exactly as he had expected.
An artifact containing the sealed demon Lucifer.
As the demon was sealed, the artifact was extremely dangerous.
It was a relic that could consume the user’s body and corrupt it due to the overflowing magical power.
On the other hand, it was also a double-edged artifact that brought about a tremendous increase in power.
For this reason, the protagonist and his group in [Eclipse] couldn’t properly use the bracelet even after obtaining it.
They couldn’t find a way to periodically suppress the demon inside the bracelet through overwhelming divine power.
But my situation is different now.
Viscus looked back at Artoria.
The sight she had shown against the golems a moment ago.
It was even more overwhelming than the one Artoria had shown in the latter part of the novel.
For some reason, if she had gained power through that dream, she might be able to purify this artifact immediately.
Viscus raised the bracelet.
– Kill!
– Revenge! Sweet revenge against the wicked angels!
– Kill the women in front of you!

As he grabbed the bracelet, voices filled his mind, filled with evil.
Countless voices filled his head, and at the same time, his senses closed off.
Viscus had expected to some extent, as there was a story about the devil’s consciousness in the novel, but he didn’t think Viscus would be so powerful.
– Kill them!
“…… I will kill.”
Because of the consciousness that filled his mind, Viscus unconsciously brought his hand towards the sword.
His eyes had turned red without him realizing.
– Kill the woman with divine power in front of you! It’s the day of revenge!
“To kill Artoria… No, I can’t.”
Although he had pulled out the sword halfway, he immediately lowered his head.
It’s nonsense. How can I kill her?
Viscus remembered the sight of Artoria smiling brightly and bombarding golems with hundreds of holy swords, slaughtering them.
The overwhelming difference in power.
Knowing that she would be unable to use her power and be defeated when she attacks, the demon’s resolve, which momentarily seized Blythe, scattered.
…It was dangerous.
I thoughtlessly picked up the bracelet that sealed the demon.
If I had been controlled by the resolve and attacked Arthuria…
Even so, Arthuria wouldn’t have been harmed, but it could have been dangerous.
In the novel, Janice, who picked up the bracelet, heard the voices of the resolve, but she easily brushed them off, so Blythe thought she could do it too.
I underestimated Janice’s mental strength too much.
Meanwhile, as they held the bracelet from which a faint aura emanated, and saw Blythe return to her original self with her eye color changed, the two women thought:
“It’s certain. The lady from the Empire has come here.”
“Your Highness… Have you used that bracelet before…?”
“Arthuria. Can you purify this bracelet?”
Blythe approached Arthuria and handed her the bracelet.
“Purify?”
Arthuria looked down at the bracelet that Blythe handed her.
An evil aura that felt thick.
“I can do it!”
As Arthuria exerted her divine power, the evil aura emanating from the bracelet subsided.
“Thank you, Arthuria.”
“No… If it’s for Your Highness, I can do anything.”
Secretarys, who confirmed that the devil’s presence had disappeared, picked up the bracelet again.
As long as the devil was sealed, the power of the bracelet would continue to be provided, so it wouldn’t end with just one purification.
Continuous purification was needed.
After that, he could seek Artoria’s help again.
Creak.
Returning to his room after finishing the adventure in the dungeon, Secretarys closed the door.
Since the achievements of the dungeon exploration had to be shared, thanks to both women allowing Secretarys to do as he pleased, he was able to bring the bracelet.
Secretarys looked down at the bracelet hanging on his arm.
The bracelet of the Great Devil.
Since wearing the bracelet, Secretarys had been able to feel the overflowing vitality throughout his body.
In his current state, he felt like he could overwhelm Naber in one blow.
Although he was somewhat clumsy, almost falling under the control of the devil’s presence, I had taken a step forward.
I successfully completed my first practical dungeon exploration and obtained the artifact included in the plan.
If I continue smoothly like this, I can survive the “destruction”!
With a sense of accomplishment, Secretarys lay down on the bed.
Tired from his work in the dungeon, he quickly fell into a deep sleep.
Thud.
Secretarys realized that he was in an unfamiliar space.
Is this another dream?
Where am I?
A white space?
No, it’s not.
It’s above the clouds.
The place where Bieseus stands is another land that resembles clouds.
Or should I call it heaven?
Kuwoong
In front of Bieseus, a black darkness gathered into the shape of a person.
“Archangel Bieseus….”
The darkness spread its huge wings and looked down at Bieseus.
“Lucifer.”
Just like in the dream before, Bieseus’ mouth moved on its own.
Lucifer?
Could that woman be the notorious demon, Lucifer?
“To think that you would change the course of the battlefield that leaned towards us with just one move. You truly are the first angel of Deus.”
Lucifer showed a tempting smile.
“Do you have no intention of joining us? If you do, we can give you the highest position in Pandemonium. You can have whatever you desire.”
“I’m not interested.”
“…Right. You were only interested in Artoria, that woman, huh?”
“Don’t you dare mention her name with your vile mouth!”
“Ahahahahaha. I thought you had no emotions, but it seems like you do? Well, it’s okay. I should have targeted that woman from the beginning if I knew it would be like this. Well, it’s fine. I’ll just catch that woman next time.”
“There is no next for you in four years.”
Oooong
A massive amount of divine power enveloped Versus and Lucifer.
“A territory? Just like that!”
Lucifer was taken aback by Versus’ territory, which appeared without any warning.
“Because this is the end for you, Versus.”
The divine power took shape, resembling a colosseum.
A prison of divine power from which nothing could escape.
“Ha. Was it a trap?”
“When the battlefield’s landscape is overturned, it was more than enough to expect that you, Versus, who has confidence in your personal strength, would come here alone. There was no other possibility.”
“Should I call it a talent that is too regrettable to be corrupted by an angel?”
Kwaaang
As Lucifer summoned his magic, Versus drew his holy sword and charged at him.
“I won’t let you leave.”
“Hey. Are you suggesting that we both stay trapped in this space forever? If we seal off the territory like this, you will also be trapped here, won’t you?”
“It doesn’t matter. I trust her.”
“That’s why angels are like this! …Fine. Let’s make a bet then. Whether our Pandemonium will arrive first, or the one you don’t love so much will arrive first. The loser will be sealed here for eternity.”
Kwaaang
Lucifer, holding his demonic sword, and Versus, holding his holy sword, clashed once again.
Pahh
Familiar ceiling.
Chirp chirp.
Through the sound of birds chirping, Vissus realized that he had woken up from his dream and returned to his room.
A dream…right?
This time, it seemed to be a part of the dream that Artoria had dreamed.
Vissus was an angel confronting a demon.
Lucifer.
The demon sealed in the bracelet he had rescued yesterday.
Could it be the same demon?
Vissus picked up the bracelet lying on the desk.
Whirr.
Then, a light emerged from his hand.
“W-What is this!”
Divine power?
It was a light similar to the divine power used by priests.
Why is divine power coming from my hand?
-Vissus! It’s you!
And then, a voice came from the bracelet.
What is this again?
