Last party member – 1
huh?
widely.
He stepped back with exactly eleven steps left.
In an instant, a cold sweat ran down my back.
But on the outside, he asked with a grin.
“Why are you leaving? Were you scared?”
“You can’t narrow the distance any further than that.”
“What are you talking about. Who says no.”
“Well.”
I got a lightning bolt of realization.
Trail groans as if he was right.
[Ok. I think it’s Idria. I told you how to become a hero and what you do.]
‘You just saw my technique and recognized it right away? That ten steps is the limit?’
[Rather, it’s weird that the demon king doesn’t notice.]
Kayle said.
“As soon as I get closer, I will unseal the Jewel of Destruction.”
Then Neril whispered.
“Do you have that skill distance limit?”
“Uh, yes. It’s quick.”
“Whoever sees you approaching so sneakily will notice. Anyway, wait a minute.”
She hurriedly signed the seal.
restraint magic.
It was one of Neril’s long-term magic that tied him up when King Wu went mad one day.
An intangible chain wrapped around Caled.
However.
shruck. Kagang.
When Kayle lightly inflates his muscles, it breaks so easily.
It was as if some old thread had been cut, and the rest of the party, except for me, were quite shocked.
“no!”
“Isn’t it through magic?”
“No, that’s absurd. That magic has bound even the runaway jewels of desolation.”
Offense narrowed his eyes and looked at Caled.
“After all, magic doesn’t work for you. I’ve been wanting to do it for a while.”
Xenia also broke a cold sweat and accepted his words.
“The last time I took a day off in the capital, I heard something from my father.”
“……”
“Kale said he overheard conversations in a magically soundproofed room. At the time, I thought it was something wrong…”
This time, Ardwin opened his mouth.
“By the way, wasn’t it like that when we first met at the Tetra estate?”
“yes?”
“I cast a spell to hide the soul, but Cald found it casually. At that time, I thought it was because he was a person who was acting like a hero.”
“… Maybe magic or magic doesn’t work for him at all?”
With those words, I drew a picture of Kyle in my head before returning.
From the first time we met, when we performed various quests.
When fighting monsters or when faced with all kinds of trials.
Kayle was not injured on any of the schedules.
never bled.
Neryl shook her head as if in denial.
“When I hung the Append View, it worked just fine. And Serene healed the wounds she had suffered from Maid with a healing technique.”
“Something that is good for you may work.”
At Offense’s answer, Neryl bit her lip.
And he opened his mouth, pretending to be calm.
“huh. yes anyway Last time Maid beat me to dust on a rainy day.”
“Nah. I don’t remember being hit so unilaterally.”
“I didn’t tell you. And don’t laugh like that.”
“Nevertheless, I was really curious about that. Why did I bleed on that guy? Did the sword that he threw pierced his stomach?”
“……”
“It was quite a refreshing shock for me, who had never been ‘injured’.”
damn.
He spoke up there and clapped once.
“Give me two days.”
“……”
“Think carefully for two days and choose. Will you come under me, or will you just keep your eyes open and watch your hometown disappear?”
“Or we could go get your neck.”
“Are you going to throw away the title of Immortal Swordsman? Well, that would be nice.”
he said with a sly smile.
“It will take quite some time for the Paladin to activate the enchantment purification. If you can afford it, it’s not too difficult to deal with you guys who will be slowed down by the Jewel of Destruction.”
“……”
“And Maid’s new technology isn’t that scary if it’s only ‘ten steps’ apart.”
Also.
I grinded this out.
“I will be waiting for you in the middle of the Baharma Mountains for two days. It will be interesting to see which one you choose.”
He turned around very calmly.
Even though he is completely giving up on us, he is very relaxed.
fast.
Neryl grinded her teeth and tried to make another seal, but I stopped.
“done. Don’t lose your strength.”
“I just did it because I wasn’t feeling well. Do not misunderstand.”
“If you don’t get me wrong, cancel the magic. Let’s discuss what to do about it.”
Offense makes a squeaky sound.
“I think a guy who wants to become a hero would come out like that.”
“……”
“How many assassination secrets can I solve? If it’s poison, it might be of no use.”
Even Offense himself, who said that, was not confident.
We didn’t answer, and he shrugged as if admitting it.
I said.
“I think I have no choice but to kill myself. Because I was the only one who made him see blood.”
“Made. But… regardless of whether that is possible under the power of destruction, is it really okay for this land to disappear?”
I did not dare to answer easily.
That was then.
Suddenly, someone else’s voice was heard.
“Or, you can do the magic purification a little faster.”
We looked around.
Ardwin said.
“uh? What is this voice?”
I looked at the side where the voice was heard and opened my mouth.
“It is nice to see you again. The Emperor’s Companion.”
“You don’t have to come here and show your face like that. We’ve all seen each other.”
“haha.”
“And I’m going to give up the nickname of the emperor’s companion. It’s a name that only the current emperor would be pleased with.”
Whoops.
Lissell Bint.
And Magna Neros.
she showed up
“My only emperor is Grade-sama.”
“Hello.”
“Ah yes. Hello.”
Lissel put her hands together and bowed her head politely.
Even in this situation, I was always polite, so I smiled and opened my mouth.
“Mr. Rissel doesn’t have to show that face either.”
“Hmmm. Anyway, I was just observing the situation.”
“her. Elemental magic is amazing. Neither Kayle nor us noticed that you were right next to us.”
After all, Lissel, the king of spirits, can turn even his own body into a spirit.
Lissel answered, twisting her platinum hair once with her fingers.
“Because I’m not particularly good at combat skills or strategizing. There has to be some kind of trump card like this.”
“okay. What do you mean by what you just said?”
“Before that, I want to tell you this. Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever officially said anything.”
She seriously fixed her expression.
I had to struggle to keep the corners of my mouth going up.
Because I expected her back story.
“That, over there. It may not help that I am a little short.”
“……”
“no. It’s probably not going to help at all… but you’re still pretty good at cooking, right?”
“……”
“If you accept me as a party member, I will be responsible for cooking. I’ll do the dishes too.”
It was indeed a Resell Down subscription application.
Neril whispered.
“Why is he so mean?”
“He lived about 1,300 years older than you.”
“yes. By the way?”
“……Nope. Anyway, it is a system that has been abolished for many years, but anyway, that kind of attitude pops up from time to time because the former status is a slave.”
“It sounds like you’ve seen him for a long time.”
I shrugged.
said Jenny.
“I’m a big fan!”
“I’m glad that you are good at cooking.”
“No. By the way, Mr. Rissel, by any chance, what Maid asked last time…”
Lissel flinched.
“I was going to say that anyway.”
She took a deep breath and continued.
“I tried, but I was rejected.”
“ah.”
“So, please call Serrain here too.”
“yes?”
“I’m sorry for being rude. But I’m not asking you to call me to be comfortable. Did Xenia-san intend to carry out a tactic purification? Serene can do that too.”
For a moment, I almost applauded.
Without even hearing from Lissel, I knew that Serene could perform a purification.
Didn’t he solve the quest with that in Ardwin’s estate before the return?
Offense narrowed his eyes and said.
“That ungodly Serene?”
Everyone, except me, who had already known, widened their eyes.
okay.
Serene doesn’t believe in a heavenly god.
To not believe here does not mean to deny existence.
It means not relying on the heavenly god.
So her nickname is the monster of God.
After all, if you were full of faith in the first place, there would be no reason to want to abolish the priesthood.
He said the trail was absurd.
[Isn’t that guy’s divine power a joke? Wasn’t it at a level that overwhelms Zenia?]
‘That’s why it’s really funny and ironic. I don’t know by what standard the heavenly gods grant divine power.’
[……]
‘Well, the nickname “God’s Monster” was coined by us. Of course, before the return, Serene was introduced to the continent as a more faithful believer than anyone else.’
If it became known that the party member’s priest had an awkward relationship with the Heavenly God, it would have taken a devastating blow to Caled’s reputation.
Then Xenia said.
“I can’t believe he has no faith. Then what was that monstrous divine power?”
“I was curious about that too, but he said it with his own mouth.”
“……”
“Already, various types of magic are closer to the realm of paladins than priests. Just because you have a lot of divine power doesn’t mean you can use magic.”
But Lissel shook her head.
“Serain is a very unique person in many ways. You can’t measure it with common sense.”
“That’s right, neither are we. Because there is no one who is not unusual here.”
I very much agree
Except for me, of course.
I said.
“I will make you believe what Mr. Rissel says. In other words, if Serene and Xenia perform a tactic purification…”
“yes. I’m sure we can speed up the time it takes to activate.”
“How much?”
“That, well. I guess I’ll have to hear it for myself.”
“Then let’s hear it. Where is he?”
Instead of answering, Lissel raised her index finger.
“Focus on my finger.”
Our eyes focused on her fingers.
Whoops.
Soon something began to appear in a blur.
It was as if a small child had been reduced to about 1/20.
Something transparent, blue, and round as a whole.
“government ordinance!”
“yes. Right. It’s the first time I’ve seen it, but you’re right.”
“No, the spirits say they don’t want to appear in front of people.”
“I persuaded him well. If I can’t see you all, I can’t bring you Serene.”
Russell continued.
“Mr. Seraine wanted something from Kayle, so she refused to join us. But I have attached a wind element to her.”
“……”
“The spirit will guide you to where Serrain is. Please bring her.”
“Aren’t you going with Mr. Rissel?”
“Because I feel a little bit hated. If I go, it will be counterproductive.”
Her expression turned bitter.
I shook my head and told Offense.
“Offense. Can you bring me?”
“It’s not difficult, but why am I? I must have been very hated by Serene too.”
“why?”
“Anyway, you are a traitor. Wouldn’t it be much faster to use Xenia’s Agril?”
“Agrill is so conspicuous. You might be caught by Kyle. and……”
I smiled and continued.
“Who comforted you and told you to bring it?”
“Well?”
“Whatever stuns you, just bring it in front of me. I will do my best to convince her.”
Then Lissel said in awe.
“Mr. Maid! In a way that is too violent…”
“Don’t worry. I also don’t want to be hated by my future colleagues. To you and to Serene.”
“……”
“Once the offense brings them in, from then on, I will persuade them purely through conversation. Trust me.”
Lissel looked at my face silently and nodded.
asked Neryl.
“But do you really have the confidence to persuade me through conversation? He has an innocent face, but I don’t think he’s an easygoing person at all.”
“don’t worry. Because I made the owner of a more formidable personality on my side.”
“ah. Did something like that happen? who?”
I stared at Neryl.
she tilts her head
no, I don’t know what
