115 – Climax (5)
It was two hours.
The time I expected it would take to secure Rose and Seiji and join Dian, who was enduring Envy’s tricks.
In addition, I prepared an artifact with the teleportation magic.
It wasn’t that I didn’t trust Dian, but it was true that I couldn’t guarantee that there wouldn’t be a situation where Dian wouldn’t be able to resist Envy.
To prepare for an emergency, it was necessary to reduce the time it took to reach Dian as much as possible.
To be honest, I thought that having prepared this much would be more than enough. No matter how thoroughly Envy planned it,
But, that wasn’t the case.
Envy came up with a more creative plan than I could have imagined, and it succeeded in making my head tingle.
I couldn’t even imagine. I didn’t know that he would completely lure Fran, the hero candidate, and use him, and that he would detect the existence of the artifact I had prepared and render it useless.
‘The biggest problem is Envy…’
There is a higher possibility that he may have noticed the existence of the artifact I gave to Dian.
It was difficult. If that artifact becomes useless, no matter how Dian it is, it won’t be able to withstand Envy’s tricks.
I predict that Dian can last less than 30 minutes.
If you do not join Dian within that time, Dian will become corrupted like Envy.
‘Can I arrive in 30 minutes?’
After thinking for a moment, I quickly shook my head.
No matter how much you fool the scales and use maximum acceleration magic on your body, no matter how fast you go, it will take at least an hour to reach the Cave of Illusion.
Then, is there any way to arrive earlier than running at full speed?
For a moment, with my mind in full swing, I realized there was only one option for me.
‘I can’t help it…’
After making my choice, I sent Seiji and Rose out and immediately started deceiving the balance. Don’t deceive lightly, but so boldly that Libra might notice.
‘It will work, right?’
While I was moving my finger and drawing a magic circle in the air, I couldn’t help but have that question.
Because, the magic I was about to manifest was a 9th circle magic, teleportation, which even I, who had deceived the balance as much as possible, could not guarantee.
Actually, teleportation was a magic that I was very interested in, so I was good at the theory. I asked so many questions that Master got sick of it.
However, it requires so much mana that even I feel like it is outside the realm of possibility, so I have never tried it before.
‘If I hadn’t learned Mana Burn, I wouldn’t have even thought about trying it.’
After learning Mana Burn, I naturally possessed a vast amount of mana that was incomparable to before.
In addition, I was even able to utilize the fraud-level trait of ‘the one who deceives the scales.’
So it was natural. I am not yet at the level of the 9th circle, but I am confident that I can cast the 9th circle magic, teleportation.

“Nothing wrong… Wow…!”
Magic circle, magic circuit, mana array, surrounding environment, my state, etc.
Even though I carefully checked various factors, I couldn’t help but feel nervous.
If one of the factors I mentioned is even slightly off, not only will the magic fail, but part or all of my body may disappear or go to another world.
Once you recognize the danger, you start to worry. I’m wondering if I should just run right now.
“···I’m not a dick.”
After thinking about it and coming to that conclusion, I quietly chanted and unleashed my magic.
“Teleport.”
-Piyung!
Then, a group of lights suddenly appeared and blinked my vision.
****
Teleport. A 9-circle space spell that moves the caster to the desired coordinates.
I have experienced this useful magic several times thanks to my teacher.
Is that why? I was convinced that I felt a subtle moment where my entire body seemed to be disintegrating into particles and then being reassembled.
The fact that I succeeded in teleportation, a 9th circle spell.
-Piyung!
The blurred vision returns, and a clearly changed landscape begins to appear.
And.
“Wow…!”
Due to my nausea, I also start to feel nauseous.
“It’s like this every time…”
I thought I would feel less nauseous if I cast it myself. I guess I was just prone to motion sickness.
“Ugh…”
While I was holding on to my bitter stomach, I took out a potion flask with a fan shape drawn on it from my pocket and drank it straight away.
Gurgling, gulping down the purple liquid, thinking it was the water of life, my nauseated stomach began to calm down little by little.
“···Oh my god, look at this?”
I was only then able to properly look around and was confident as I looked at the black object raised at the entrance to the cave of illusion.
Envy, this woman already knew what kind of artifact the ring Dian was wearing was.
Is that why?
“Huh…”
A sigh of relief bursts out. It almost would have been a really big problem.
If I had made a choice other than teleportation, it was obvious that no matter what choice I made, it would have led to bad results.
I felt relieved and immediately started moving my body.
-Chrrr!
When you put starlight in your hand and place your hand on the black object, the black object begins to split with an ugly sound.
“Kieek?”
“Well, that’s it…!”
“Krrrlam To’s – Crurrr!
As soon as I step inside the cave, ugly-looking monsters that recognize my presence begin to attack me.
Either way or not. I just walked towards the thick demonic energy that I felt from deep inside the cave.
-Chaaa!
I pull out the sword of good and evil filled with starlight and swing it lightly.
“Kk, kkk!”
“Geueoeook!”
“Kyaaa!”
Every time you lightly swing the sword, you can hear monsters crying in pain from all directions.
How long did it take to walk like that?
“As expected, I knew it…”
When I found a ring on the floor, I frowned and increased my walking speed.
“But how did you know?”
A question suddenly occurred to me while I was moving.
How was Envy able to notice the existence of the artifacts I prepared?
Eavesdropping magic, detection magic, Envy’s characteristics that I don’t know about, Envy’s artifacts, etc.
A number of assumptions came to mind, but I decided to put this concern aside for a while.
“Let’s just ask directly.”
I thought so too, but as I walked, I came to a place where there was a translucent barrier.
“Hmm… The Seven Deadly Sins are definitely the Seven Deadly Sins.”
When I looked at every corner of the barrier spread out in front of me with my celestial eye, I could see how tightly woven this barrier was.
“It’s pretty well made.”
With a reasonable amount of power, it won’t even be able to produce incontinence.
I decided to admit that fact, nodded, raised my sword, and took a stance.
“God’s sword type 1, soul cutting.”
While chanting, he swung the sword of good and evil.
Is it because the balance was deceived as much as possible, and mana burn was added?
-Chaaa!!!
A thick, pure white line is drawn on the barrier, much clearer than the solid line drawn before.
-Wow!
The translucent barrier broke like a glass window, and a new landscape began to unfold in front of us.
You can see a man and a woman engulfed in a black haze. Cursing reflexively comes out of my mouth.
“···f*cked up.”
Dian slowly closes his eyes that have lost focus.
Envy is looking with eyes full of desire and wrapping his hands around Dian’s waist like a snake.
After seeing that, I was convinced.
If I had arrived just a little later, the situation I was worried about would have happened.
“I’m so sorry.”
It’s not that I don’t understand Dian, who almost became Envy’s servant.
An encounter with an old love, the fantasy magic and brainwashing magic of the Seven Deadly Sins that manifest old memories as bait. As a result, Dian’s deep-seated emotions must have exploded.
However, looking at Dian with a blank expression, I couldn’t help but feel annoyed.
That’s true, I told Dian clearly.
What kind of fantasy will Envy show you?
What kind of things can you experience?
What kind of emotions can you have depending on the situation?
How can they reach out to you like that?
So, you don’t know anything else, but you must protect the ring I gave you at all costs.
Then, I think we can buy some time.
I said so. It was clearly like that.
If you look like that, how can I not be angry?
“···Camel? Why are you making that expression… Celetina?”
Has he finally come to his senses?
Dian, whose eyes returned to focus, rolled his eyes and then broke away from Celetina’s arms.
“You bastard…”
Envy, who had lost sight of Dian in front of him, frowned like a demon, glared at me as if he were going to kill me, and muttered.
“Professor. “Let’s get it right first.”
Either way or not. I, who had already kicked my feet, swung the back of my sword at lightning speed.
-Bwak!
When the back of my knife exploded on the back of Dian’s head, which contributed to worsening the situation and failed to follow my instructions properly, Dian fainted and fell to the floor.
“The situation is what it is, so let’s deal with the rest later.”
I wanted to show Dian the pinnacle of the low.
Anyway, it won’t help in its current state, and Envy might catch it, so it would be better to just knock it out first.
After deciding that, I whispered this to Dian, who had fainted, and then threw her behind me.
“Treat Dian so carelessly!”
Then, Envy, with an enraged expression, screamed and exploded with magical power.
“Carelessly? Hey, Celetina.”
I was very angry with Envy because I was pushed around for a considerable amount of time.
“Ah…!”
He rushed in like a thunderbolt and grabbed Envy by the hair, and scolded Envy in a calm voice as he looked on with a shocked expression.
“You f*cking b*tch.”
