117 – Eiluse (2)
“Samael!!! You stupid bastard!!”
Serafia, whose direct intervention has been destroyed in vain, roars and rages.
The divine power he poured into the underworld, and his own people he created as a result, all just disappeared without producing any results.
It is said that the culprits who created all of this are the thoughts of Faust and Stella, but Serapia is more angry at Samael than the two of them.
“You couldn’t do what you were told to do, so why did you play and play aimlessly!!
From Serafia’s point of view, Samael was just playing around without fulfilling his duties.
No, even if it wasn’t for Serafia’s gaze, it was true that Samael was playing.
Didn’t you sit on the top of the tower and watch the Aileu Festival to watch the people suffer, even though you couldn’t concentrate on solving Stella’s interruption?
Serapia intentionally causes the people of the world to suffer, but she doesn’t really enjoy it, it’s just part of her work, so she doesn’t understand Samael’s taste at all.
“That… Shall we send down a new angel right now?”
The angel, trembling and receiving the wrath of the god, carefully exhorts Serapia.
If I interfered with the underworld any more than this, the underworld would be completely distorted, but neither the angels nor Serapia cared about the underworld.
“No, get on the defensive. It’s too late now.”
“…Yes, Serafia-sama.”
However, the angel’s mantra is not accepted.
If I tried to interfere any further, Serapia, which is not in the celestial realm, would not be able to fully demonstrate its power, so it was certain that the intervening Faust would block it.
Above all, Serapia, who realized that Faust was about to invade the heavens, had the highest priority to completely block the invasion, so interfering with the underworld has now become a useless act.
In the time to do such a thing, you must strengthen your defense posture to firmly block the invasion of Faust.
Because that’s the only way to protect your precious identity.
‘To think that there were still remnants of Stella… Gut, I made a mistake.’
Serafia confirms Stella’s will in Faust’s body, and is greatly frightened.
It meant that Stella harbored a grudge against him and put all his remaining strength into a place where he could harbor that grudge.
In other words, if this intrusion cannot be prevented, Serapia thinks that she will end up just like Stella.
Of course, Faust does not have any interest in the god of light, but Serapia cannot even think of such a possibility, as living beings who do not have interest in the god cannot exist.
“I must… be chosen.”
“…”
Hearing God’s lament filled with remorse, the angel kept his mouth shut.
The angel, who knows very well what Serafia has been doing and why she is doing it this way, only laments Serafia’s greed and regrets Serafia’s fate.

“Ummm…”
“What else are you worrying about?”
“It’s still lacking a lot. After the processing of the Goddess is over, you’ll enter the world of Cerapia in earnest, but isn’t this level of strength not enough?”
Meanwhile, Lena and Celestine, who have to stay at Ailyuje for the time being, try their best not to waste this time.
It is said that they raised their level by killing the attacking angels, but if they left their hands alone like this, they could be threatened with death in the near future. At least it should be enough to get out of that threat.
“It’s… it is.”
“If you follow Faust in this state, the only future left is Faust’s burden.”
Lena’s concerns fit exactly.
It was not for nothing that Faust had been steadily training the warriors’ party until now.
If only Faust goes to Kael, the celestial realm, the remaining warrior party must endure the invasion of Cerapia without Faust.
Realizing the truth after hearing Lena’s answer, Celestine frowned and pursed her lips in pain.
“…Then I’ll have to practice.”
A few seconds later, Celestine, barely finding the answer, answers Lena’s question.
However, Celestine’s answer is too far-fetched. It is the most rigorous theory that has no room for refutation, and because of that, anyone can think about it.
“I guess. But… can I really follow that by practicing?”
“…”
Of course, since it was an extremely reasonable argument that anyone could think of, Lena had thought about that plan as well, and Lena had thought of the answer to that plan ahead of time.
Time is running out.
It could be as short as a week or as long as several months, but it is unimaginable that in the meantime, it could grow to the point where it could perfectly resist Cerapia’s attack.
“My bow and this outfit have been worn for a very long time, so I’ve become attached to them, but it’s the first time I feel as sad as I do now.”
First of all, the equipment is very poor.
This is not a problem unique to Lena.
Excluding Lucia, who has been using magic without any equipment, Iris, Lena, and Celestine all have very poor equipment and are unable to wear equipment appropriate to their level.
Celestine is said to have changed her clothes with Stella’s blessing, but that’s all, since she’s just an avatar, it can’t be called equipment.
“Well… But why don’t you try training first? It’s better than just sitting still.”
“…That’s right.”
“Well, first go into the Mage Tower and deal with the remnants of Serapia. The dungeon conversion has been resolved, but since there are so many angels created when the Mage Tower was a dungeon, it is said that the basement of the Mage Tower is still teeming with angels that have not been dealt with.”
Hearing Celestine’s words, Lena laughs bitterly.
Certainly, that is the only option left for them now.
Of course, it is better to train a little more and become stronger than to let go, and since you are fighting angels, it is certain that going to Kael will be of great help in your own way.
“Okay. I’ll have to go to the basement of the Mage Tower. But… what about Lucia and Iris?”
“Of course he will be by Faust-sama’s side. Let’s go sing together.”
“sir…?”
Upon hearing Celestine’s answer, Lena’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Faust-sama, Celestine had never called Faust ‘sir’ until now, but only Mr. Faust.
However, Celestine now acts as if there is no sense of incongruity in calling Faust an honorific.
Although she doesn’t feel the same fanaticism as Iris, it’s true that she still has a sense of incongruity, so Lena is a bit dumbfounded.
‘It was a little strange when I saw that light, but…’
Lena vividly remembers Celestine shuddering at the sight of the light symbol on the podium in the church when it shone brightly.
Her eyes widened and her body trembled a little excessively, but at the time she acted normally, so she didn’t question it too much, but looking at her lines just now, Celestine’s condition is somehow strange. Isn’t it like a god serving Faust?
Above all, those clothes.
“Celestine.”
“yes?”
“Aren’t you ashamed of those clothes?”
Elves have a notion that it is rude to invade their personal territory, so Lena, who had been desperately ignoring Celestine’s outfit until now, opened her mouth and pointed it out.
It’s a costume that makes you feel like you’ve lost your mind somewhere.
Walking around the streets wearing something like that, to the point where I felt ashamed just by walking with them.
The fabric on the chest is so small that the breastbone is visible, the shoulders and forearms are exposed, the side slit where only the smooth flesh is visible where the panties should be visible, the piece of cloth that covers the belly that flutters so that the belly button can be seen when the wind blows, and it would be better to just take it off. Even the tight fishnet stockings, it was the attire of a prostitute, let alone a saint.
“Are you ashamed?”
“…Yes?”
“This is the outfit Stella gave me to serve Faust-sama, so there’s no shame in it, right?”
Upon hearing Celestine’s answer, Lena’s mouth fell shut.
crazy
Totally crazy.
Isn’t that the kind of clothing that serves someone, even if you consider that someone a sex god? It’s like talking to someone who has been hypnotized and whose common sense has been completely distorted.
Iris went crazy with Faust, and now Celestine has gone crazy too. Lucia was crazy from the beginning, so it’s out of the question.
Thinking so, Lena shuddered and spoke to Celestine.
“Celestine, please. Don’t do that to you either.”
“Lena…?”
“…”
Now that she is the only normal person at the warriors’ party, Lena can’t hide her gloomy feelings.
Seeing the melancholy, Celestine rather tilts her head as if Lena is strange, examines Lena’s condition, and sees Celestine not becoming self-objectifying, Lena is gripped with even more frustration.
‘Even if it’s just me… I have to wake up.’
At the hero’s party where everyone has gone crazy, Lena braces herself to avoid becoming the likes of Iris and Celestine.
If not for work, you should always keep your distance from Faust.
Lena thinks that if she doesn’t have any kind of personal interaction, at least she can keep her own spirit.
