A few days have passed since my encounter with the witch.
I am now at the outbreak point of the junction stretched inside Demon King's Castle.
The curse only allowed me to follow what the witch had to say, but in this way I was free to walk through the Castle of the Demon King.
So I was able to get in without difficulty to this place, where the bond of avoidance of the Grounds was stretched, which was what I was supposed to be here for.
There was... one girl in the room that even the needs couldn't get close to.
…………
The girl with pure white hair is asleep on the bed.
And there was something like a transparent barrier, separate from the Earthly avoidance junction, so as to enclose that bed in squares.
Trying to reach for the bed, but that barrier is in the way, unable to touch the girl.
That's all you need to do, but I guess this girl has it.
By the way, this is the third time I've been in this room.
Both the first and second time, given that the girl remained asleep, it is likely that she will continue to remain asleep all the time.
"... Sure it was named 'Skill Le Rail'?
I predicted that this girl was a skilled god, Skill Le Rail.
Because when it comes to witches being so far and isolated, I thought it would be about God already.
"Ugh... you're right... she's the skilled god that was sealed in the land of this continent of Fuvel"
Suddenly I heard a voice, so I looked back.
Behind me, there was a witch - Earth - who took over Crail's body.
Behind the ground, Kara also refrains.
Did you come to see how I was doing, or did you need more help with the girl over here?
Either way, I didn't really want to see these guys.
"... Speaking of which, I heard from Cross that you were defeated a thousand years ago by the Skilled God?
Unharmed by the earth, I said such questions in order to distract my deliberate mind.
Cross said, Skilled God defeated Earth.
Yet Earth has taken over Crail's body and still lives like this.
I'm not sure what the situation is.
"Sure, I was destroyed once by her... by the hand of my skilled mother... but only my soul wasn't destroyed..."
"Soul...?
"Yep... my soul was diving into my skilled mother... watching the opportunity to take over her body..."
Think about taking over God's body or something... awesome.
There are things that are still just feared by the Earthlings.
"The takeover of my body managed to move to execution, anticipating when my skilled mother was exhausted... it took me hundreds of years..."
Ground tells me that he has a hard time telling me about his past.
That's, from what looks like fun at first sight, maybe, bragging.
"But... the boulder is my mother... you have taken over my body and yet you continue to reject me... so much that if I step out of the bond I have knitted, I may be forced to change my body's lead immediately..."
"... so you're trying to make Crail's body your next takeover destination?
"Ugh... yeah, you're right..."
The takeover of God's body is incomplete, so Earth craved another body... so...
"But... how could it be a crawl? What the hell is Krall to you?"
I asked Ground why he took over Krall's body.
Did it have to be Krall's body on purpose?
If I don't know that, my doubts won't diminish.
"Claire... as I took over her body, she had strength, beauty... and depth of familiarity..."
"Familiarity depth... for God's sake"
Strength and beauty, somehow, I know.
But the familiarity depth doesn't make sense.
Is there something familiar between Claire and Earth?
"A thousand years ago... I housed the headquarters of my soul in my skilled mother... but other than that, I had divided what should be called a shard of my soul into one of my bodies for what I had created..."
"What...?
"Mother Cross did something similar to you... the logic is the same as that..."
…………
Cross was anchoring a piece of his own soul in my body.
Is Earth capable of doing the same?
"And the shard, I... I gave birth to one girl, thinking of any resurrection..."
…………
The moment Earth said that, I had a bad feeling.
"No way... I mean the girl..."
"Ugh... yeah, I am. That child is Krall... my greatest masterpiece..."
To my dismay, Ground approaches me with a creepy grin.
"Krall... was created from the beginning to be my dependent bills... for me to be God... to rule this world..."
…………
I held both fists tight as I heard Ground whisper in my ear.
"... Claire is not your tool"
"Ugh... right... she's my precious daughter..."
"Then..."
"But... so what is it? And Claire... would you be honored to help me, my mother?
"Don't be ridiculous!
To Earthly's lesser remarks, I bared my voice.
At that moment, a severe pain ran on my body and I couldn't even stand.
"Gu..."
"You're a person who doesn't learn either... then you'll be dead soon..."
"Ugh... shut up!
Damn......
Just being hostile to Earth is what this Zama is...
I feel so sorry for you, I think I'm going to cry...
"Now you don't seem to be willing to try restorative magic on me yet..."
Ground, sighing zero, turns his back on me and walks out toward the door of the room.
I haven't done any healing magic on Earth in the last few days.
Because exerting healing magic is equivalent to this guy increasing his power.
Even if I am forced and suffer from severe pain by refusing to do so, this is all I decide to do.
"Nothing, it doesn't mean it has to be your healing magic... instead, you can see as much as you want... uhhhhhh..."
…………
And that's what Earths left out, leaving the room.
Apparently, Earth was just here to see how I was.
The result was like staying in parallel as before, but I don't know how long my body will hold it either.
"You're a fool. Just give it up and it'll be easier."
And Kara, who remained in the room there, called out to me.
Can it be easier...?
Sure, if I'd listened to Earth honestly, I wouldn't have to suffer this much.
... but.
"I'm... a bad guy for giving up."
I said that to Kara, calming my breath while I was in pain.
"............ I knew I hated you"
Then Kara groaned so abominably and glared at me.
"... Needs Fjord's crowning ceremony just ended. Within the next few days, an army of demons led by the Needs Demon King will march to the continent of Wolds"
Keeping an eye on him, he has now explained that to me in a tone that lightly performs business contact.
"We'll accompany that army, too. Of course, the witch is with us."
"... are you going to go to war"
"Oh yeah. People's deaths are the only food for witches, more than you use healing magic."
…………
Kara tried to blame me and threw that word away.
"How many Earthlings die because of you... let me take a closer look..."
Is it my fault...?
Regardless of my recovery magic, the witch was going to go to war to keep this world in her hands.
So Kara's words are off target.
Or so, I don't have the strength to say back to this guy here.
Because no matter how much I put it back here, it only makes me self-satisfied, more than I can stop the beginning of the war.
"... I don't know. That's him."
…………
As I remained silent, Kara snorted hun and walked out of the room.
"What am I supposed to do... I..."
I mourned my powerlessness in my heart as the room became quiet.
"Hey... guys... what am I supposed to do..."
And I looked up to cry, thinking about everyone who was breaking up on the Meermill continent.
