387 Demon Castle
Part of the castle wall was destroyed, and the invasion was quite rough and sloppy, making a roaring noise.
For that reason, I expected that demons and monsters would gather soon, so I kept on guard while maintaining my sacred dragon illusion, but there was no sign of them at all, and the inside of the castle was enveloped in silence as if nothing had happened.
"It's eerie that not only can you not see the demons or demons, but you can't even feel their presence."
"Perhaps it wasn't just the monsters outside the castle that turned into a miasma vortex in an attempt to break the barrier."
I nodded slightly to my master and Lionel's impressions, and while feeling eerie, I canceled the Holy Dragon Illusion and landed.
"Lionel, please prepare a large shield so that you can defend against a surprise attack, Master and Rumina-san, please keep an eye on the surrounding area, and Pope-sama, please detect the magic power of monsters and demons."
With that instruction, I set out to find the place where the evil god is.pursuer's eyetracking eyeI took it out of my magic bag, pulled the string while imagining the evil god's face, imagined it hitting my forehead, and released it.
Then, the light emitted from the pursuer's eyes extends in a straight line down the hallway in front of him.
"For better or worse, it seems that the evil god is on this floor. If that's the case..."
I decided to deploy a sanctuary barrier to block the entry point and the path that did not extend from the pursuer's eyes, to avoid a useless battle.
It was just that, but it made me feel at ease and gave me the time to take a closer look at my surroundings.
The hallway of the castle we entered was paved with pitch-black stones, giving it a cold impression, but it was clean and clean, as if it had been polished to the point that it reflected the slightest reflection.
It seems that the same jet black stone is used for the walls and ceiling, but perhaps this castle was originally built from a rocky area, and the walls and ceiling have a strong exposed feel, giving it a natural labyrinth-like feel, but it is similar to that of the Dark Continent. Perhaps it's because it's breathing in the miasma, or maybe it's because it's discolored red-black and emitting light in places, but it looks like it has a floating pattern.
Apart from the pattern's luminescence, the hallway was eerily illuminated by purple-black flames that gave the illusion of a miasma burning.
It's a continent where only demons and monsters live, so it's even more brutal.skullskullI was just imagining something like a labyrinth with bones embedded in it.simplesimpleBut it feels sophisticated.
However, our purpose is not to see the Dark Continent or this castle, so we immediately follow the light emitted from the pursuer's eyes and advance into the castle.
However, since the castle is large and everyone is silent due to the fear of the evil god and being nervous, I felt mentally exhausted and decided to share my impressions of this castle.
"It's a world where only demons and demons live, so I was imagining more of a demonic realm."
"I guess that means there are many different types of demons. That's because the barrier that Lord Rainstar put up seems to have prevented high-ranking demons from leaving this dark continent."
"That's true. Now that I think about it, Pope, I understand that Lord Rainstar has set up a barrier on the Dark Continent as my master said, but how do you build a barrier that prevents only high-ranking demons from leaving the Dark Continent? Do you know if it was done?”
This is just something I was concerned about. My sanctuary barrier can also be made to prevent demons and monsters from passing through. However, the moment low-ranking monsters touch the sanctuary barrier, they are purified with blue-white flames.
I wanted to know the principle behind it.
``I don't know what kind of barrier the Dark Continent or Holy City Father has built. However, Father often says that all magic uses magical power as a medium, and is created by setting and imagining phenomena. You were there.”
Can you imagine and create? When I developed magic, I simply improved existing magic. But Lord Leinster certainly taught me that magic can be created through imagination. I know I still haven't improved enough to catch up with Lord Leinster, but it's frustrating because I know I'm lacking in strength.
However, since it is a barrier that will not be destroyed for 300 years, it must be supplemented with magical power to maintain it.
What is considered to be the case is...
“Did you imagine and create a new barrier instead of using existing barrier magic?”
"Hey, Luciel. It's time to concentrate. There's still no sign of demons or demons, but the unpleasant feeling is gradually getting stronger."
"yes"
I replied to my master, but when I looked at everyone, it wasn't just me, but everyone was tilting their heads at the unpleasant feeling that my master had. However, considering the steam rising from his master's body and the abnormal sweating, there is no doubt that the master is sensing an unpleasant sensation.
"Ah, this is what the whirlwind is feeling. Luciel-sama, it looks like this is a castle where there is only an evil god."
This time, Lionel held out his large shield and lowered his hips in preparation for the attack.
"Is it a curse or something like that? If so, I'll immediately activate dispel and purification waves."
"Calm down. Luciel and the Pope have already given us magic that allows us to be okay even if we come in contact with an evil god. This is not like that, it's like being forced to the brink of death by something unknown. is"
“Do you mean to aim at Master and Lionel?”
"Ah. Warming up before fighting the evil god."
"Mr. Left. I will make sure to join you before Luciel-sama defeats the evil god."
The two of them told me that, and I trusted them and nodded, and soon after that, a huge door like a sealed gate was blocking the light from the pursuers' eyes.
Just to be safe, Lionel and Lionel put on sanctum armor and activated the area barrier before Lionel and Master opened the huge door, but there were no demons or demons inside the castle. The room was surprisingly large.
However, the light in the pursuer's eyes suddenly disappeared in the center of the room.
"I think I've set something up."
I activated the purification wave and a wave of pale light traveled through the room, but the purification wave disappeared in the center of the room, but nothing else happened.
In that case, I tried activating a dispel that could erase curses, but nothing changed and I didn't feel any fluctuation.
“Pope, are there any phenomena that come to mind?”
“I’m sorry, but I have no idea.”
"I see. But it looks like we have no choice but to move on."
"That's right. Luciel, if you have any extra swords, please bring them out."
"yes"
I took out the remaining holy silver sword from my magic bag and handed it to my master, who suddenly slammed the sword into the ground, then swung the sword at the ceiling in the same way, causing the holy silver sword to shatter.
Master didn't care and threw the useless sword into the center of the room. Then, the sword flicked in the center without disappearing with a high-pitched sound.
"It seems that my opponent is able to erase not only his appearance but also his magical power and presence, and erase Luciel's holy attribute magic. Is that so?"
Then, as if responding to the master's voice, something came out of nothing.OoniaugerA knight clad in jet black armor with six arms and a huge body appeared.
At that moment, a chill ran down my spine. Maybe it's as bad as the evil god, or even worse...just thinking about it makes his legs tremble.
"What I seek is a deadly battle with the warriors. If you want to advance to the evil god, either defeat me, or proceed while you fight my sacrifice."
Saying this, the jet black knight turned on his heel and returned to the center, disappearing.
At that moment, the pressure disappeared and sweat began to form on my forehead.
"Luciel, move on while I fight."
For a moment, I didn't understand what my master was saying.
"Master, it would be dangerous if we had it. Let's all fight together."
I can't let Master alone fight such a monster.
"No, I'm sorry, but you're tied up. Recovery magic has no meaning against an opponent like that. If you let your guard down even for a moment, you'll die."
"but"
"Oh, Senpai, you don't seem to have any confidence. Since you were looking for a warrior, shouldn't it be okay for me to go instead of you?"
When I tried to persuade him, Lionel announced that he would take his place as master.
But I can't accept that either.
"Huh? You said that was the evil god's warm-up."
"Really? He seemed so lacking in self-confidence that it just looked like he was trying to get ahead at the cost of his own life."
"Hey, you just need to protect Luciel properly."
"Indeed, I am Luciel-sama's chief servant. So, as Luciel-sama wishes, I will defeat him and that, and then join up with Luciel-sama."
I also think there is a possibility that we can overcome this together...
As if noticing my situation, Master looked at me with a suspicious expression.
"Huh? What's with that face? Maybe you can't trust your master?"
"Can you win? No, can you win and come back before I defeat the evil god?"
I forced a smile.
"Hmph, I might not make it in time if I were alone, but I think I'll make it in time since Senki is here."
“Luciel-sama, I will definitely take Whirlwind with me, so don’t worry.”
"Make sure Lionel comes back safely too."
"We know"
Lionel nodded firmly.
“Daughter of the Pope and the Holy Knight, please make sure Luciel doesn’t lose to the evil god in a quick attack.”
“What!?”
"I'll leave it to you."
"I'll protect you properly."
"Well then, see you later."
"yes"
Master and Lionel slowly moved towards the center and disappeared.
Then, something that was blocking the light emitted from the pursuer's eyes disappeared, and the moment the light touched a large purple-black sphere that appeared at the back of the room, it burst and disappeared.
