99 – Arch-Enemy (2)
I was taken aback by her words and asked again.
“Destiny…?”
“Yes~ Yes, Destiny! You and I are bound by chains of fate that cannot be broken!”
What makes me so happy? Eriak, the evangelist of misfortune, opened his arms toward me and burst into a big smile full of tears.
Inversely proportional to him, my mood went downhill.
“Don’t be mean. All of my fate is tied to Aisha.”
“Ah~ that b*tch. Doing bad things to you every night.”
Wicked? Don’t be funny. There’s no way Aisha would do that to me. She rather wanted her to do cute things that made me happy every night.
“Are you… Archbishop?”
“Hmm? It seems you know more about us than you think. Information about the archbishops is strictly controlled.”
A swamp of five elements that worships Erek, the god of wealth who is considered separate from the three evil gods. Five archbishops leading them.
They are collectively known as the ‘Five Planets of Disaster’.
I asked just in case, but as far as I know, this Eriac isn’t included among them.
“But unfortunately, I am not an archbishop~”
As expected.
“Then what are you? You’re not even an archbishop, but you’re using such a strong ‘Kara’?”
As soon as Eriak heard me, he stomped his feet, making all sorts of fuss.
“Mommy! I knew it! Erek had a reason for possessing you! I thought you already knew about Kara.”
f*ck. Why is every single one of these words like this?
Although she is obviously a beautiful woman acting cute, she just can’t forgive her existence.
Pretentious and disgusting. I feel like I’m going to vomit right now.
“As expected, you are the man who suits me the most! Come on, get out of that b*tch’s clutches!”
“Please stop talking nonsense. I’m Ayesha’s, down to the hair.”
“Ah! I can’t be this sad! I am the woman of your destiny!”
Eriak, who was shaking his body awkwardly from side to side like a clumsy theater actor, suddenly turned his gaze to Aisha, whose time had stopped with a flash of life in his eyes.
“As expected, I should kill that b*tch first.”
As Eriak raised his hand, black mana instantly shot from his palm towards Aisha at a speed faster than an arrow.
As soon as I saw it, I quickly snapped my fingers.
Damn!
Then, it went back to the situation when I first encountered Eriak. The skill effect of ‘I came to make a deal’.
By temporarily sacrificing my stats, I go back to the point where time was frozen.
The fact that the time was fixed also meant that even if Eriak’s Kara hit Aisha, it would not interfere in any way. This is a space where physical interference does not work.
However, not only does she not know the identity of her ability to use, but she thinks that Aisha may be harmed, so she unconsciously turns back her time.
As time went back, Eriak took off the hood of his robe and stomped on the ground with his feet as if he was embarrassed.
“What! Honey! What the hell have you done to me!?”
Phew… It took ten years.
But damn, don’t call me that way. You almost vomited. At the first meeting, a light-year appeared who called me honey!
After that, Eriak tried to attack Aisha five more times, and each time it was blocked before finally giving up. It’s a relief that you applied for a conversation using the skill in advance.
She shrugged her shoulders once and pulled out a long snort.
“If I get released from the frozen time anyway, I’ll have a chance to kill a woman like that, so I’ll put up with it for now.”
“Don’t try to justify yourself even though it’s because you failed, right? It looks ugly.”
“Oh! Are you excited because Honey’s selling is so thrilling?”
f*ck.
Eriak put her hands around her own shoulders and took a deep breath into her hot, melted face. Seriously. She was really excited, that b*tch. For the safety of the continent, we must kill as soon as possible!
“You can kill the Great Witch of the Cold at any time? That’s a lot of bluff.”
“Huh? Pooh! You’re misunderstanding something, honey.”
“Don’t call me that, really.”
“Then my love?”
Her organs twisted and her ears went choked, as if her brain refused to listen to her any more.
“Call me Luatir! Otherwise, there will be no further conversation!”
“Ugh… I barely got a chance to talk to Honey, but I can’t. Then Tyr…”
“No.”
“Chit!”
Unhappily kicking a stone at his feet, Eri Ark puffed out his cheeks.
“Then I’ll call you Loatire for now, honey.”
I wanted to tell you not to call me by name. However, it seemed that she would quarrel endlessly at this rate, so she nodded her head.
“That girl over there is not as big of a threat to us as we thought. I just kept them alive because they are blocking annoying dragons.”
Ayesha, who is the best wizard on the continent and wields three unique magics, is not a threat? You have to bluff in moderation. Who believes that
“The same goes for the rest of the b*tches called archwitch. Well, honey… No, it’s up to Loatire to think.”
Saying that, Eriak slowly began to walk towards me.
“I bet the archbishop couldn’t deal with the archwitch?”
“They are like that. But not me. It is the body that Erek is most favored with.”
Her title from the notification window is ‘Evangelist of Disaster’.
It was a title I had never come across on any route. She thought she knew everything about the swamp of the Five Elements, but she didn’t know there were variables like this.
Eriak, who had come right in front of me before I knew it, stretched out his hand to my cheek and whispered sweetly.
“How are you? Luatir, won’t you join me in serving Erech?”
Before her hands touched my skin.
Damn!
A snap of her fingers turned her time back.
“Don’t be fooled. I am unreligious.”
Time rewinded, Ariak took off his hood again and bit his index finger with his lips with a regretful expression.
“Sorry. Erek’s protection suits you much better than the protection of the trivial gods.”
Where are you going to use the beauty world now? You know what’s deadly! No-nonsense!
“Don’t fool around and die quietly.”
“Whoops! Is there anyone else in the world other than you who can blackmail me? But sorry! I can’t die yet for a happy future with you!”
Aisha is also a guy who proudly says that she is not a threat. What on earth does that guy see in me and is she talking like that? She’s like Nemenia.
It’s oddly obedient, which makes it even more irritating. It’s just that every single action and word that guy does arouses annoyance.
To the extent that I was surprised that I had such a low ignition point.
“Then go quietly.”
“Yes~ I am a woman who is devoted to her husband!”
She made an absurdly simple declaration to back off. Really? Is she really going to step down like this?
It can’t be.
“What are you going to do after you catch me off guard?”
“Ah~ It’s nothing special. Just after Luatir frees this frozen time.”
After a moment of silence, Eriak raised black mana from his whole body and spoke with a full heart.
“I will just kill that b*tch who possessed you and leave.”
It wasn’t a bluff. Her momentum now emanating from her had pierced my skin and squeezed her heart. It was the first time since the encounter with the old dragon that he had encountered this level of power.
I smiled awkwardly and asked her another question.
“You… What the hell is Kara’s ability?”
Unlike her mana, Kara is not the source of her magic powers. Rather, the power that has been neglected by the world makes it possible to use its own unique ability.
She is said to be in her greatest favour with Erech. She, like all her other bishops, will use her own unique powers.
I asked her a question to get at least a little bit of information about her, and Eriak answered cheerfully without hesitation.
“The name of my ability is ‘Four One’! It is the ability to add all the powers and abilities of a single person that I designated to my own abilities. Of course, that target is you, Luatir!”
I doubted my ears for a moment.
“What…?”
“Can you believe it? Hey, hey, here he is!”
She spread her hands proudly and used her magic. The unique magic that Aisha and I perfected.
Eriark took out a black shiny metal bracelet using ‘future borrowing’ and put it on. Although the color was different, it was unmistakably a magic circle.
In addition to my stats, I also use skills and unique magic? I couldn’t even say how ridiculous it was.
To inherit my strength and ability as it is. Should I say that it’s fortunate that it’s not robbed like the re-account scene? No, it’s too f*cked up to understand that.
In other words, the stronger I get, the stronger he gets. Looking at the strength of the power that guy is using now, the inverse relationship doesn’t work.
Well, he has all those scam skills!
You said ‘Encounter with the old enemy’. Yes, it’s really just the ability to become my nemesis.
I was aware of Jae-Aksin’s ability and was preparing for it, but I never thought he would have prepared an ambush like this. Erek… You all have plans, right?
Eriak mischievously twirled the magic circle on his wrist towards me who was completely stunned and laughed out loud.
Then he asked with joy, like a child full of mischief.
“So? What would you like to do?”
What should I do?
I don’t know.
