Invincible Saint ~Salaryman, the Path I Walk to Survive in This Other World~ - Volume 15 - Chapter 373

373 The Feather of Light Dancing in Nerdal and the Settlement

　I carry the Pope on my back and fall into the well.

　The experience lasts for a very long time, and silly things come to mind.

　Originally, it was a fountain that looked great as camouflage for the magic elevator, but a well wouldn't make the courtyard flourish...

　Come to think of it, last time there was an exit that led to the magic library, but this time I wonder if we'll have to go up this well...

　Ah, I don't regret releasing the Spirit Queen Rafiluna, but will the crops fail if the World Tree doesn't take root in the earth?

　There, the Pope's arm on my back became tighter, and when I was brought back from the world of thought, I could see the bottom, my final destination, so I activated floating magic, conscious of the magical power of the wind attribute.

　Then, the speed of my fall suddenly slowed down, and I was able to land lightly.

"Luciel, you're slowing down. And I'm wondering why you don't respond even when I talk to you."

"I'm sorry. I was just thinking about something."

　I couldn't believe they were ignoring the Pope...

“I’m sorry for giving Luciel so much trouble.”

"No, then let's go get the magic tools. So where are the magic tools?"

　The Pope seemed apologetic, probably thinking that the burden was concentrated on me and I was tired.

　However, since I was just thinking, I felt embarrassed and decided to urge them to retrieve the desired magic tool.

"If I remember correctly about the concubine, then that's the place."

　And the Pope from my backinstructionsInterferenceWhat I did was the sealed gate leading to the room where Water Dragon and Wind Dragon once confronted me.

　Then, I became convinced that the magic tool that I had not been able to hear about until now due to bad timing was the magic tool that would become my secret weapon.

“Pope-sama, this is the magic tool, but could it be this?”

"Why does Luciel have it?"

　When I took out the magic tool from the magic bag, a voice of surprise rose from behind me, and the Pope got down from my back and picked up the magic tool...the pot.

　However, I never thought that it was a magic tool that served as an emergency device to make Nerdal levitate.

"This was a souvenir from when I freed Water Dragon and Wind Dragon from the evil god's curse."

"The water dragon and the wind dragon were protecting me."

"That's right. So, Pope, that magic tool was intended to be used as a secret weapon in the fight against the evil god..."

“In that case, it would be a good idea for Luciel to keep it.”

　The Pope handed me the jar without hesitation.

"Are you sure?"

"The top priority should be subjugating the evil god. Besides, even if Nerdal were to fall, the barrier would not activate and cause no damage."

"Thank you. Oh, do you know anything about this?"　

　I took out the old bow that Water Dragon and Wind Dragon had left with the pot.

"Hm, what?! Why faster!!"

　Then, the Pope was even more surprised than when I showed him the pot, picked up the bow, and began to channel magical power into it.

"Pope, if you push yourself too hard, you'll collapse again."　

　However, the Pope was already concentrating to the point where my words could no longer reach him, and his magic was flowing into his bow.

　Then, as if in response to the Pope's magical power, the bow began to shine and grow little by little, and a pattern appeared on the bow.

　At that point, the Pope finally stopped the flow of magical power into the bow and seemed to explain what the bow was all about.

"Luciel, what I'm about to tell you is the concubine's selfishness. I know that your master was busy getting involved in various things. Also, I understand that it can't be helped if the concubine is thought to be useless. There you are.”

"No, that's not true..."

"That's good... Still, the details of the reports, communications, and consultations are too thin. Especially when it comes to magic tools, he prides himself on knowing more than anyone else."

"very sorry"

　I thought it was enough because Doran had taken on arms and Paula and Risian had taken on work related to magic tools. He just doesn't have much magical power, and he completely ignored this bow.

"This bow is a magic tool, but it's not a magic tool for attacking enemies."

"Well then?"　　

"Hmm. This magic tool can emit light that tracks the target.pursuer's eyetracking eyewell. Father used this to corner the evil god who escaped through teleportation.''　　

　It's a very useful magic tool depending on how you use it. However, since that evil god escaped by teleportation, I feel like Lord Rainstar could have chased him without any problem even without magic tools...

“Then, if I use it now, will I be able to find out where the evil god is?”

"Hmm. However, the tracking light requires magical power."　

　I see. I have been preparing countermeasures for the battle against the evil god, but if I had been able to use this, I would have been able to confront the evil god before the magic circle appeared.

　However, it was because of that preparation period that I was able to prepare myself to fight the evil god, so I personally think that it was not a waste.

“Then you don’t have any business here anymore, do you?”

"That's right. Rumina and the others are worried too, so hurry up and join us."

"yes"

"Wait, Luciel. You're asking to be carried on your back again."

"Oh, yes"

　Silently handing over the magic crystal ball, I carry the Pope on my back and look up at the well into which I fell.I imagine the power of the Wind Dragon and release the magic, and my body rises to the surface and rises all at once.　

　In the midst of this, he thought that the number of magic crystal balls was becoming rather disappointing, and hoped that the situation would not occur where his magic power would be depleted before he could fight the evil god.

　Just as I was relieved that I was able to return to the ground smoothly, the sharp sound of swords clashing violently reached my ears.

　Since the sound of an explosion was no longer heard, it was assumed that weapons using spirit stones could no longer be used and the battle had shifted to normal combat.　

“Pope-sama, I will continue to join up with the Battle Maiden Holy Knights.”

"Hmm. In the worst case scenario, I will also allow you to destroy the Duchy of Brange's teleportation device."

"I've got it"

　I flew straight to the place where I heard the sound of sword fighting, and found that the carefully maintained garden had been completely destroyed, and the ceiling and walls of the hallway, which had been gorgeously decorated, There was a big hole.

　I couldn't stop the Pope's curse-like murmuring from behind this situation, and I hurried to join them.

　Then, when he captured the swarm of undead fighting the Valkyrie Holy Knights, he tried to activate the purification wave as usual.

　However, before that, the feathers of light fell from the sky, and the undead, who had no sense of pain, screamed and collapsed on the spot, writhing around and being consumed by pale flames.

　Also, the undead that have not become flesh hold their heads, burst into flames, and disappear into dust.　　

　Furthermore, the parts of the demons who were fighting against the Battle Maiden Holy Knights swelled up as if they had been burned, and their fighting spirit disappeared, and the Battle Maiden Holy Knights, who had absorbed the situation, tried to stop them. It takes a stab.

　I thought that being able to fight advantageously against monsters and demons was my unique advantage.

　But if Lord Leinstar's beloved daughter, the Pope, doesn't take it personally, she can do the same thing as me.

　However, I feel like I'm a little tired, probably because I used large-scale magic again.

“Pope-sama, there is a limit to the magic crystal ball, so please be a little careful.”

"What's that about being stingy?"

　I was surprised to receive a lighthearted reply.

"Isn't your magic power exhausted?"

"Currently, the concubine is fully equipped to fight against evil gods. The amount of magic power consumed has decreased, and the consumption of magic power is also reduced due to the affinity of spirit magic with spirits. Furthermore, even if magic power is consumed, a certain amount of magic power is automatically recovered. I’ll do it too.”　

　As expected from Lord Rainstar's beloved daughter, she must be equipped with legendary weapons...

“Then what about the magic crystal ball?”

“I was saved because when I activated the magic to save the spirits, it was really depleted.The magic crystal balls I received so far were kept in stock to fully support everyone fighting against the evil god.”

　I can't tell exactly because he's on my back, but I get the feeling that he's wearing a smug look on his face as the prank was a success.

　It's a harmless prank, and I can see that the Pope has no malicious intent.

　This probably has to do with the environment in which they were raised.

“Pope, it would damage the relationship of trust, so it’s best not to do that.”

"Is that so? In the past, everyone was happy about it..."

"It's almost impossible for an adult to be happy by doing the same pranks as a child."

"I see... Luciel, I'm really sorry."

　He sincerely apologizes, and since it was a prank he genuinely thought would make him happy, he didn't mean any harm.

　This contradiction, where the atmosphere becomes heavy and I feel sorry for myself, is a matter that I would like Lord Leinster to deal with.

"I hope you understand. I think I have stocked up on magic crystal balls. There will be more attacks, so please hold on tight."

"Hmm"

　While I was talking with the Pope, I saw a blade of miasma approaching.

　I dodge further into the sky and look down at the person who fired the miasma blade.

　There, there was a demon who looked exactly like the self-proclaimed demon lord who fought in the labyrinth of trials, and although he was already seriously injured, he managed to fend off Rumina-san's attack.

　But what if in that state they fired an attack precisely aimed at us...

"Rumina's overwhelming victory. Rumina is currently unaffected by the miasma and won't suffer from abnormal conditions."

"I think we have the upper hand, but I'll be careful."

　I covered Rumina-san and the demons with a sanctuary barrier so as not to disturb Rumina-san.

　That must have bothered the demons. It glared at me with an angry expression, and when it swung its tail, the blade of miasma flew towards the sanctuary barrier.　

　The miasma blade then hit the Sanctuary Barrier, but without exploding, it gradually became smaller as it hit the Sanctuary Barrier, and then disappeared as if being sucked into it.　

　Then, this time, he was shocked and was talking to Rumina-san with a panicked expression.

　However, Rumina-san shook her head, seemingly rejecting the demon's proposal, and slowly pointed her sword at the demon before raising it.

　For a few minutes after that, the demon started to attack Rumina with a series of attacks using its four arms and tail, seemingly desperate.

　Rumina-san parried all of their attacks and slashed at them, and the demon, who could no longer raise his arms, released dark magic that converged the miasma.

　Rumina cut through the magic with her sword, then approached the demon and slashed it crosswise.

　At that moment, everyone in the Valkyrie Holy Knight Corps cheered, but it quickly turned into screams.

　The demon tried to stick its tail out, as if waiting for Rumina-san to cut it and calm down.

“It was a battle.”

"Yes. It was an overwhelming victory."

　The tail's surprise attack, which was the demon's last struggle, passed through Rumina's body, and blood droplets gradually danced from her legs, arms, neck, and tail.

　It was a rapid succession of attacks that gave the illusion that he was acting as a double.

　I never expected it to go that farEighteenth numberOhakoI can't believe he didn't even use the newly acquired light attribute magic Prism Phantom, which uses light refraction to create illusions, let alone the accelerator boost.

　The Pope's reinforcement magic is amazing, but I think what's most amazing is his ability to adapt to unfamiliar reinforcements and fight properly.

　And as everyone in the Valkyrie Holy Knights cheered as if celebrating Lumina-san's victory, I descended to Lumina-san's side with the Pope still on my back.
