Minerva and Svengalli.
What the two of them advised me as a way out of this situation was to attract none other than another Seven Evils, someone comparable to Minerva.
This is the so-called Ize.
There were only two Seven Devils that could be compared to Minerva.
Venus is in a deep sleep in the deep sea.
After that, Yuno was just waiting for the right moment in the same depth as the ground, where lava flows.
These two are also mentioned in the original work, along with Minerva, that each of them alone has enough power to destroy mankind.
Therefore, even in the original version, the three did not move at all, and even if they did, there were very few cases where a direct battle took place.
Also, if Minerva is the sky, then Juno is the earth, and Venus is the sea.
As if they were deliberately aimed like this, they have different attributes.
Maybe that’s why all three of them treat each other as if they were a fighter, and they are defending their respective spheres of influence.
Above all, I was also well aware that all three were sealed at the same time.
So now, I could be sure that Juno and Venus were walking around just fine.
And there was someone other than me who knew this well, none other than Sbangali.
[Did you not tell me? As soon as you wake up from the seal… don’t you have a friend Jaejoon Lee. Remember?]
Jaejoon Lee.
A man who was the head of the Thorns Cross Society and had sympathized with and unsealed Svengali.
And he was a man who devoured every existence of Sbangali.
[Grip Guman… Anyway, woken up by him, I started raking in information about the other Seven Evils. There’s nothing wrong with knowing a lot, and… that, you know? You just saw it, right?]
Sbangali murmured in a low voice.
[I’d rather Venus or Juno sleep on a fictitious day and get better, but Minerva… In particular, when I saw Nana, Milited, and Margo, they regularly harassed me, saying that they were mean, filthy, and lacked honor. So I wanted to know. It’s because you’re just like a lightning bolt if you come along while you’re doing well.]

Of course, as Minerva said, Svengalli, Milited, and Margo these three are vulgar, obscene, and ignorant, but I fully understand how they felt.
No matter how much I was, I would have been terrified if I chased after the deaf figure I had just before and spewed out breath and poison.
Come to think of it, it must have been Sbangali, Milited, and Margo in the past. It reminded me that the three of them had formed an alliance and fought against Minerva. Of course, in less than a day, nearly half of the forces they had gathered literally evaporated, so all three of them fled in a hurry.
[Isn’t he misunderstood? Stop the bullshit, Sbangali.]
Then Minerva interrupted him in a hastily voice with a thin, trembling voice.
[…] Huh?]
[When did you spit out such a lie that your original woman had persecuted you?]
At Minerva’s words, Svengali mumbled something as if it was ridiculous, and then sighed.
[Yes, yes… I’m the only one who always talks nonsense… If so, now let’s get back to the point. Venus can move freely wherever there is enough water to cover his body. And there was the sea a little further from this mansion.]
As Sbangali said, Venus freely roamed the vast sea, unsuitable for his gigantic physique and sluggish personality, and for that reason, he had the ability to move just mentioned.
So, if you were to defeat Venus, the first thing to do was to get him out of the sea and bring him back to land.
… Of course, considering the mere size alone, it is three times larger than Minerva, and how can you bring out a monster that causes a tsunami just by struggling?
‘But the most important Venus is not around here.’
[It’s not close, but it’s not that far either. If my prediction is correct, I’ll wake up right away and rush to my feet.]
[My wife thinks so too.]
Minerva said so, giving strength to Svengalli’s opinion.
[…] In any case, the maiden, Venus, and Juno. Even if the three of them spend their entire lives like this, they will not understand each other and will not be able to tolerate the fact that they are under the same sky. Even now, when I think of Venus and Juno appearing in my realm, my head boils in anger.]
‘great… Then, let’s do as you say.’
Because it has to go down. If things don’t go well, you can hide in the shadows.
— Boo oh oh oh oh oh oh!!!
[aa!!! Back off, Venus!!! I mean, I don’t know anything about you right now!]
Minerva from the past seemed bewildered by the sudden attack, but quickly regained his stance.
But from the start, their strength was practically a whistle, even if Minerva was slightly more dominant. There, the place where the two are currently fighting is the sea. Most of all, she was preoccupied with me, and allowed a fatal surprise attack, which resulted in severe damage to her wing.
From the beginning, it was said that it was a fight against Minerva.
— Boo oh oh oh oh oh !!!
The huge whale twisted its body as if not to miss the dragon that was about to fly high.
No, maybe the whale was right.
It has a streamlined body like the ones that usually live in water, with dozens of fins.
Huge horns like the barrel of a battleship, compound eyes with dozens of moving pupils gathered in a single pupil. And several times larger than Minerva, with skin full of scars.
The explanation that it causes a tsunami with every struggle was literal.
Venus struggled with Minerva and sent a series of sharp, awl-like streams of water to hit her.
The streams of water were sharp as horses, and it was certain that, even if they were touched by that huge stream that looked nothing like a tornado, some ships would literally be shattered.
Minerva was twisting in the air, breathing out or flapping her wings, frantically blocking his attack.
And it was the same here that he was distracted by the aftermath of that fight.
[Wow, Kolok! Kup!]
It floated on the sea and was just swept away by the current.
Fortunately, I woke up immediately and decided to go into the sea to get out of the spot. Sbengali was nauseous and thirsty at the sight of me trying to get out of there by diving to the depths of the sea and swimming quickly.
[This is really, I didn’t expect this.]
[…] … .]
The lie was clear.
There’s no way he couldn’t have done such a simple calculation.
No, from that point of view, I must have been an idiot who misunderstood even such a simple thing. Even if there was a king of thorns and dragon blood, he seemed to have taken it too seriously.
[Still, I would have died if I had been a decent human being, but isn’t it so lucky? At least you’re not dead.]
[…] Shut up when you say nice things, really.]
[Hey, I went mad again.]
Surprisingly, while wearing the king of thorns, he appeared to be able to speak under water.
I didn’t want to know at all, though.
[Anyway, just think about getting away from here. Remember what I said before? Shrimp’s back explodes in a whale fight, but at least it’s better than a shrimp fighting a whale.]
Sbengali said so, trembling with a sense of humor.
[Yeah, why don’t we take this opportunity to defeat Venus as well? It’s an opponent you have to kill anyway.]
[Are you crazy? In this situation, you want me to break in between me and deal with them both at the same time?]
I continued to swim and answered.
[For now, I have to step back and fix the situation. … Above all, in this age, if possible, you should avoid getting involved with the Seven Evils or other people. Knocking it down is not even better.]
Meanwhile, I suddenly remembered what Minerva had told me.
She eventually said that I had taught her a lot of things as she got along.
Under these circumstances, was such a thing really possible?
With that thought in mind, I poked my head out of the water a little farther away.
It was to see how things were going.
[Ahhh!!!]
… Unexpectedly, the two were still fighting, and what surprised me most was the fact that the former Minerva was being pushed back. And Minerva whispered as if trying to resolve my doubts.
[The original woman is a little bit stronger, but it’s only as much as a turkey. The topography is not only advantageous to Venus, but also allows for a fatal surprise attack that hurts the wings, so it is natural to be pushed.]
[…] … .]
From that scene, I was thinking of her, who at some point threw herself to protect me and blocked the light of Aegis. was that so I reached out to check the situation, and without realizing it, I was drawing a bow from the shadows.
[Well? Please, wait, dear… !]
Before Minerva was able to say anything, I was empowered to shoot an arrow woven from the branches of the World Tree. And it wasn’t long before he could hear Venus in the distance, screaming in pain.
— Boo oh oh oh oh oh !!!
‘great.’
It was time to start running away again, thinking that Minerva of the past would not be seriously injured by this.
[Dear, I just… .]
Minerva said in a voice that seemed like a rare disappointment.
[You’ve just been too hasty.]
As she said that, she muttered, as if lamenting, but with a somewhat shy attitude.
[No, if it were someone else, you wouldn’t have done it… uhm. Was it the problem that the person who was entangled with your fragile heart was your real woman? but… uh… .]
[What do you mean, Minerva?]
[…] If it was a real woman, that is, a woman from the past, it meant that she would never look down on her previous actions.]
Minerva added quietly.
[If you were a real woman in the past, you would rather die, and you would never like someone’s help. Above all, there is no denying that I received help because it was a dangerous situation just to be seen by anyone… After all, didn’t the person who cut off the horns of the original woman provided such help?]
For a moment, I felt a chill, and without realizing it, I trembled and shivered.
[…] So, you’re saying that it only made you more excited for nothing?]
Minerva hesitated and answered.
[maybe… .]
Then she muttered in a long, hoarse voice.
[However, looking at the situation so far, it seems that the same thing is not repeated even if it is in the past. Is it a similar but different world? If something so intense had happened, I’d never forget her… Well?]
Suddenly, she stumbled and stopped talking.
When asked what was going on, she hesitated.
[Uh, uh… No, no.]
Then she frowned and shouted to look up at the sky.
[Han Soo-young! It’s her! She is there!]
[What?]
It was as she said.
Above his head, Han Soo-young was floating in the air, looking around as if he had just come.
Then, as if she, too, had found me, she approached this way at high speed.
“Jihyuk!”
[Sooyoung-ah, why are you running away?]
“I’m sorry, I won’t excuse Jihyuk for not doing what you said. But I have something more important to say, so I’m here in a hurry.”
Han Soo-young said so and told me.
“Let’s go back in time right now.”
[What?]
“It doesn’t sound like anything.”
Han Soo-young said so and took out a tightly closed potion bottle from her arms.
There was something inside, and as soon as I saw what it was, I knew it.
“Because I picked up Milited here too.”
[Uhhh!]
… … Sbengali burst into laughter as if delighted with her attitude towards the one who occupies a place among the Seven Evil Orders as if lost and found.
[Wait, Sooyoung. The story is so fast that it’s hard to follow.]
“It would be better to get out of here first and give a detailed explanation.”
Han Soo-young said so and held out her hand.
When I grabbed her hand in the ice, she smiled brightly.
“I marked the coordinates in a safe place. Let’s go there and start recovering.”
[…] okay.]
Eventually, I could feel my body being sucked into something around her.
In the meantime, I suddenly asked her as if throwing it.
[You want to go back right away?]
“Um, no.”
Han Soo-young said so and pursed her lips.
“150 years from now, that is, 150 years before our time.”
Let’s go back to the days of Shadow Walker.
Surprised and before I could even ask her what she said, I was reminded of the experience of teleporting, which I had felt so terribly intense in the past.
I swear it was an experience I would never want to do again.

Out of Venus’ view, Minerva sighed quietly and looked over the horizon.
This is where the man ran away.
Even though her body was covered with scars, as if she felt no pain, she just stood upright and kept looking over the horizon.
What was simply trying to appease boredom would be like this.
A series of events that could not have been expected at all made Minerva feel indescribable.
Above all else, a mere human wounded him, further cut off his horns, and brought in Venus to fight him, above all else. More than anything… .
[…] I can’t forgive you.]
A shrill voice escaped from her lips.
Like… No, definitely an arrow shot to help yourself.
And the arrow made a hole in Venus, and he was able to get his body out through the gap.
life was saved.
It was a disgrace and a disgrace.
Soon after, her heart was filled with only anger and hostility towards the man.
[Ji-hyeok, Ji-hyeok… .]
The man’s name the red-haired woman shouted out.
Minerva swore that he would never forget his name.
* * *
‘… Oh My God.’
And at the same time, another Minerva in another place was just moaning and fiddling with his own head. To be precise, he was stroking his own horns.
Her expression was so serious.
‘What is this… Since when?’
As if she couldn’t believe it, her fingertips, exhaling continuously, were touching the slightly cut horn surface.
