189 – Spirits’ NTL Quests
The road to the Devil’s Castle became the most comfortable route.
It wasn’t because Ciel was by my side, but literally, the road just became easier.
“Is this really the way to the Devil Castle?”
Ciel sighed as if he had collapsed at the sight unfolding in front of him, and walked towards the verdant meadow.
Originally, the only living creatures in the land encroached on by demons were monsters that preyed on demons… Now, it has changed like some kind of sanctuary.
how to say Do I have to say that I changed very sacredly?
“It’s because Neiros fell. If it were an ordinary place, Neiros’ divine power would have spread almost everywhere, so it would have been difficult for Ciel to enter, right?”
Certainly, the sacred power unique to the Church of Neiros could be felt in parts of the ground, but even if it did, it was only to the extent that the apprentice priest worked hard.
No matter how much Ciel’s level is lacking… It won’t be this hard or anything like that.
“right?”
“Yeah, I can endure this much.”
I couldn’t see anything strange about Ciel’s movement as he gathered Magi in his hand and lightly swung it in the air.
“And a chance to hit that Neiros? I’m not a demon king so stupid as to miss this.”
He smiles lightly at Ciel’s words of resentment and walks down the street.
One hour to walk through a meadow where no monsters can be seen.
At this point, I thought it was time for something to come out.
“… Warrior?”
At the right timing, several spirits popped out.
When spirits of fire, water, wind, and earth with very appropriate attributes popped up in front of my eyes, I took out Nemesis and Ciel prepared to kill them quickly by making a sword with magic… .
“He’s a warrior!!”
“It’s real!! You are a true warrior ah!!!!”
“Eh?”
The spirits rushed at me smiling brightly, like a child who saw a hero.
As if he had come just to meet me without attracting any mana.
The spirits that approached me hovered around me as before and stirred their bodies, but the situation is very different from now and in the past.
When I met the spirits in the past, I maintained a favorable state thanks to my warrior skill, and if the spirits liked me because I gave them things they would like, now there is a demon king near me.
If I, a hero, have a liking for children like spirits and feel negative feelings toward monsters, the devil, on the contrary, has a liking for monsters, and on the contrary, it is a situation in which spirits are reluctant.
That’s actually +-0.
“Why are you guys like this?”
But now, the spirits are strangely friendly to me.
The spirits I saw in my first life are so innocent that the child comes to mind. From the lower level to the middle level, they are sticking to me and showing good feelings.
“Perhaps, as his godhood increased, his ability to gain favor with the spirits also strengthened.”
As Rachel presents a hypothesis, she puts the spirit that has approached her on her hand.
Looking at the situation roughly, I can see that the ability to have a liking for the spirits written in the torch skill is better than expected.
The spirits who had been walking around Ceres with me, Ciel, and Rachel laughing and approaching Ceres came to a sudden stop like a broken clock.
What’s going on?
“dirty.”
“It’s ugly.”
“Don’t come any closer.”
The frowning spirits moved away from Ceres and hid behind Ciel’s back.
Hey, a spirit that hides behind the demon king to avoid being dirty… I see with my own eyes something so rare that it is similar to going to catch a goddess with the devil and the dragon.
“More, dirty… ?”
“yes! You are so dirty!!”
When the spirit launched a heavy fact attack at Ceres, Ceres walked slowly, staring at the floor with his head bowed without saying anything.
By the time they had almost reached the Demon Castle with the spirits who cursed Ceres.
Hwareuk!
Bright red flames approached me at high speed.
A familiar flame fell in front of me, transforming into a human form in an instant.
“… You were there too.”
at Le Rue.
Like Neros in the past, the first summoned beast, the spirit Leru, who had served me as a summoner, approached me and quietly took out a flame.
“Hero.”
“Still, do you call me a warrior?”
It was a little strange that the honorific language rather than flat language came out, but at the point of taking out the flame, it was no different than that he was going to be hostile to me, so I took out the torch as well.
Fire.
As the pure white flame flared up, L’ruët also changed the color as if he couldn’t lose, burning the flame even stronger.
Looking at the flames of Leruhe, which turned from pure white white flame to blue flame, and then to black flame in an instant, I admired it and threw it at the black flame that was about to fly to me.
“… Seriously, are all the abilities of gods abnormal?”
And the torch sitting on top of the black salt swallowed the black salt as it was.
Ciel burst into laughter at the sound of a battle of nerves unfolding between the same flames, looking at Rruhe and me alternately, before turning his head away.
Seeing Ciel interacting with the spirits as if I wouldn’t get tired of it anyway, L’ruhe took a step closer to me.
“What, are you going to have a hand-to-hand combat?”
Did you know that he could do hand-to-hand combat?
It’s not that I can’t do it at all, as far as I remember, but that doesn’t mean I’m good at fighting like Rain or Minel.
it’s just plain normal
But what the hell is it that comes to me?
“Hero.”
Leruhe, who called me once more, looked at me from a distance where his fists couldn’t reach… . suddenly fell to his knees
“I am so sorry!!”
It was a beautiful doggeza.
I wondered why he was acting like this all of a sudden, but after going through this situation several times, I started to get tired of reacting to him one by one.
“… Why are you remembering?”
“Goddess… I regressed several times to use it when I needed it.”
Did you bring it here to use it?
It’s the same with Rianne, to the point where I wonder what the hell the goddess Neiros is doing.
The management of the spirits is left to Lianne, and it seems that the spirits have also been tasked with several times… If you kill at least the 12 gods and take the place of a god, shouldn’t you show an action worthy of it?
[‘Hestia’ says that if that was the case, there would never have been a victim like you in the first place.]
“I guess so. So, everything they do from now on is for their own benefit.”
[‘Hestia’ agrees with your words and sends strength.]
After finishing my conversation with Hestia like that, I looked at Rruye again, and I had a sudden thought.
“What are you sorry about?”
The day Rruye met me was the first time in my life.
At that time, until right before he was killed by Zenobia’s blade, L’ruhe fulfilled his role by leaping at the demon king to death according to my order.
The reason why he couldn’t even help me was because he was reverse summoned due to lack of magic while fighting the demon king.
“The unscrupulous over there tried his best not to apologize to me… You don’t have to apologize.”
“really… Are you?”
Grabbing Lruhe’s hand and pulling him up with an expression like a lamb saved by God… I had a very good idea.
“By the way, Rue. What kind of relationship do you have with Neiros?”
“It was a subordinate-master relationship. Goddess Neiros trusts me so much that I’m positioned as her first confidant… What are you doing?”
“No, I just thought of something funny.”
One of the pieces of information I got from that apocalyptic world, and I figured out a way to give back to the damn goddess what I’ve been through so many times.
“Then let’s find some other spirits before that.”
If you’re going to do it, you should do it right.
To give back what I’ve been through.
