Trap (5)
-What are you doing here, Transylvania······!-
“What does it matter to you what I do?”
-······-
Murderer Transylvania.
And the Frost Monarch next to him.
The expression of the Great Demon facing the two of them became distorted.
The Frost Monarch who controls the north, what is he doing in Elvengard?
And why is the murderer Transylvania standing next to him?
The Great Demon could not understand the situation unfolding before his eyes.
Although she is now on a different path, Transylvania was once part of the Four Heavenly Kings.
Moreover, Transylvania originally feared the Great Demon.
Rather than fearing the Great Demon himself, she feared ‘that person’ behind him.
However, Transylvania was only a little nervous at first.
She glanced at the Great Demon and soon came forward, revealing her intentions.
The Great Demon was greatly embarrassed by this.
-Aren’t you afraid······-
“What? You who have been abandoned by ‘that person’? You sound funny.”
-······-
Caught.
He was caught that the power of ‘that person’ had disappeared.
The Great Demon no longer had the qualifications or the power to open the door to ‘that person’.
Noticing this, Transylvania now looked directly at the Great Demon.
She was ready to attack at any moment.
“I don’t know who you are, but since you’re Eugene’s enemy, I’ll have to kill you. If you surrender quietly, you might have a chance to live. How about being captured and kneeling before Eugene?”
-Stop talking nonsense······!-
“Then let’s fight?”
Yerina’s expression turned cold as she gripped her sword.
The Great Demon felt that there was no room for compromise anymore.
Although it was the first time they had met.
The Frost Monarch was already filled with hostility and had finished preparing for battle.
-Ahahahahaha!!!-
“······?”
Suddenly, the Great Demon burst into laughter.
Yerina tensed up and flinched.
‘So that’s the Great Demon. The one who used the Cologne market as a servant······!’
He is not an easy opponent.
Yerina thought so and began to prepare herself.
She sharpened her senses, not knowing what kind of attack would come from a being from another world.
“What are you doing, Frost Monarch! Attack him now!”
“What? But what should I do-“
“That bastard’s body is so weak that you can subdue him with one hand!”
“······?!”
Transylvania shouted and jumped out.
The Great Demon is weak?
I believed that a being who exudes such intense magic could not be weak.
As Transylvania leaped forward, creating a sharp wind with her sword, the Great Demon spread a large amount of magic all around him as if shedding his skin.
This momentarily obscured the view.
By the time Yerina had used the mana in the atmosphere to disperse all the magic, the Great Demon had already escaped and crawled back into the dungeon.
“No······. You’re using this much power to escape?”
“That’s what he is. A guy whose talent is all about running away or leeching off other people’s abilities. Even if he used all that magic in a fight, he wouldn’t be able to beat me.”
“If he’s so weak that he can’t beat a weakling like you. He’s surprisingly weak. I thought I’d have to risk my life to fight him because he’s the Great Demon.”
“······.”
Weakling.
It was the first time she had ever heard such a word, so Transylvania couldn’t help but stiffen her expression for a moment.
The Frost Monarch was the only one who could treat a murderer like this.
She wanted to say something in retort.
But even if she did, Yerina would just beat Transylvania down again, proving it with a rematch, so she decided to keep her mouth shut.
“Thank you, Frost Monarch······!”
“The Frost Monarch is here!”
“Palana has come to support Elvengard!”
The surroundings became noisy.
Reinforcements from the Elvengard army had arrived.
While the wounded were being treated and the defenses of the dungeon were being strengthened, Yerina was praised here and there.
Yerina just turned away, annoyed.
“Greetings, Frost Monarch. I am Rex, a high-ranking warrior of Elvengard. Thank you for fighting the enemy while the reinforcements were delayed.”
“The security seems to be very lax. If this continues, won’t Elvengard be conquered by the dungeon in reverse?”
“······.”
“How about I help with the security?”
“Yes. Those elves don’t look very good no matter how I look at them, so you keep an eye on them, Transylvania.”
Leaving Transylvania in front of the dungeon.
The Frost Monarch entered Elvengard at the guidance of the high-ranking warrior.’They called me because of the dungeon. But they didn’t say that the dungeon belonged to the Great Demon······.’
I was a little, no, very perplexed.
I came to see the situation once Elvengard requested support, and to decide whether to dispatch troops.
I didn’t expect a battle from the start.
The Great Demon, the author, is actually considered weak only in the realm of superhumans like Transylvania Yerina.
If he were to face ordinary soldiers, he could probably crush tens of thousands of them by himself.
This high-ranking warrior seems quite strong.
But even so, it was obvious that he would not be able to match the Great Demon.
If he were to burn all of his life, he might be able to fight on equal terms, but the elves, who value their lives above all else, would never commit such a suicidal act.
‘It must be very urgent.’
Passing through Elvengard, I saw quite a few mercenaries lying dead on the streets.
The elves, who are extremely wary of outsiders, have allowed mercenaries into the city.
Even many of the citizens have packed their belongings and are preparing to evacuate.
I could sense that Elvengard was now in a life-or-death crisis.
Since we can’t call in mercenaries, are we now going to borrow the power of a foreign country?
It seems that Elvengard’s status will not be easy to restore to what it once was.
The moment Yerina felt a little compassion.
With a loud noise, a carriage approached from behind.
Two carriages racing side by side as if in a race, arriving almost simultaneously.
The two doors opened.
From each side, two women stepped out.
“Huh······?”
“Long time no see, Lord of Frost?”
“Why, why, Lord of Frost······.”
I knew it when I saw the carriage’s emblem.
But when the saint, Jill Diner, and the witch, Julia Petenburg, stepped out, Yerina could only sigh in disbelief.
The three of them had once joined forces to achieve a goal.
I thought I would never see them again after that day.
The three of them were gathered together in one place again.
It was too unlikely to be a coincidence.
The three of them gradually realized why they were all here, and their eyes widened.
“What?! No way!”
One thing they all had in common.
It was Eugene.
.
.
.
It’s coming.
What I have to face.
My karma is coming for me.
I felt my heart pounding and I sensed it instinctively.
“Eu······ Jin······.”
Hesitantly.
Muming, who was holding onto my sleeve and calling my name.
Muming, who had regained control of her body when Kaliga fainted in surprise at Belphegor’s attack.
“Ugh······.”
She put her hand on her head and stroked it, closing her eyes and moaning in pleasure.
And then, at one point.
Muming put my hand on her chest and said.
“I also······ Help······.”
“······?!”
Something began to glow in Muming’s chest.
When Muming took her hand off her chest, a crimson aura emerged from it and took on a circular shape.
It was folded once more in Muming’s hand and compressed into a familiar shape.
[Kali’s Soul Stone]
[Condition: Good]
[A magical tool made by processing the soul stone of the druid Kali. It will bloom when the time comes.]
[Accumulation: 0/62,500]
It was Kali’s soul that had been returned to the form of a magic stone.
With only her own power!
And then, Muming held out Kali’s Soul Stone to me as if to tell me to take it.
“No. No. Put it back in.”
“Ooh······.”
“Oh, you crazy. The accumulation has been reset to 0?”
Muming looked a little sullen.
In the meantime, I felt dizzy.
The accumulation had been reset to 0 again.
That means I won’t be able to return Kali to her soul state until I reach an accumulation of over 60,000 again.
The plan is in danger of falling apart.
The moment I racked my brain trying to come up with a plan.
Noticing that I was in trouble, Muming began to fiddle with Kali’s Soul Stone again.
“······!”
And Kali’s Soul Stone disintegrated and transformed into a fluid form.
The crimson aura became a circular shape at Muming’s fingertips again.
As Muming brought her hands together and pulled them towards her chest, it slowly seeped into Muming and lost its light.
Kali’s Soul Stone had returned to its soul form and dwelled within Muming.
I sighed in relief.
“A talent for handling souls······. I didn’t know you had such a talent.””Help······!”
“Yes. It seems like it will be helpful. Thank you.”
“Woof!”
I just became certain.
This guy, Myeong, is not an ordinary guy.
There was no skill or ability needed for me to return Kali’s soul in the form of a spirit.
I just filled up the amount and activated the function that exists in the item.
But this guy is different.
Myeong is handling Kali’s soul itself, regardless of the item’s function.
If Temulen is just watching the soul, this guy is at the level of manipulating the soul as he pleases.
How is this even possible, I can’t even sense what kind of ability it is.
What is certain is that this ability has infinite potential.
I definitely have to raise and teach Myeong and make him a powerhouse.
At that moment, the door opens and Mia enters.
“Eugene. I’ve escorted all the guests.”
“All?”
“Yes······. They all arrived at the same time.”
“······.”
It seems like Yerina wasn’t the only one who arrived.
It’s time to face them.
The monsters I created.
