Side: leon's

"... what do you think? How ugly am I?

I had already decided what to say when I woke up.

Well, since it was rude to use yourself as a material for monster creation, it's no wonder the shape has changed.

Well, that's what I asked Bell, but with Bell's crying face... I couldn't tell if I looked human.

"No... it's incredibly beautiful... and I think it's very respectable... and cool."

Huh? Is that... really me? Have I changed into some kind of god...?

I'm worried, so I have to look in the mirror later.

"That's good. Hah... I thought he was really dead just this time."

Whatever you look like, I'm glad you didn't have to die anyway.

After all, Kate's sword is vicious.

"Uhh, uhh... woaahn"

"Hey, bell... naked!?

When I tried to comfort Bell, who started crying out loud again, I realized that Bell was naked now.

That's right... I guess I tore all my clothes when I beautified them.

Next time, we need to create clothes that can't be broken even if we beast them.

"That's... that's not... that doesn't matter. I'm really glad Leo is alive...."

"Thank you...."

Even if you saved yourself... no, it's hard because you're the only one who saved you.

It was really hard when Grandpa helped me.

In that sense... I wanted Kite alive for Elaine, who was left behind.

"What happened to Kite?

"If it's Kate... I'm fixing it now."

"Ah, Lina...."

When she hurriedly turned her face towards the voice, Lena, whose eyes turned bright red, was treating Kite.

"Already... I really wanted to be with you, too..."

"I'm really sorry...."

"It's fine. But... I'll cry as much as I can."

"Please soften your hands... So, you think Kite's gonna get better?

"Wake up... honestly, it's five minutes. I feel little vitality. All the wounds have been healed, but in this state, it's impossible to recover the lost arm...."

Right. For now, I just need to thank Lena for not dying soon.

I see. Thank you for your help. "

"It's true... Why should I treat someone who stabbed my beloved husband?"

"That's right... But Kate had to fight for someone she loved. Please forgive me for a moment."

Kite didn't have much time.

If you think I was in the opposite position, you don't hate Kite...

"Besides... I have to ask Kite to stay alive. Isn't that right, Shadowsman?

"Shadowsman?

"That's not true. My plan was for a brave man to die here."

When I called, a voice that I was used to hearing from Kate's shadow flew in.

"Eh? Mr. Barth...."

"You two won't understand. The magical items he's wearing are the kind of things that can earn absolute trust from people."

Along with magical items to prevent appraisals, Barth had magical instruments that could be trusted by people like enchanted magic.

That's why we kept trusting Barth, who was supposed to be suspicious.

"Have you noticed that Mr. Leon has already quit?"

Yes. Perhaps this magical item is only intended for people.

That's why I'm no longer human.

"That's what you are, right? So this is an order from the Creator?

"Ooh ~? Did you notice so much?"

That's right. Otherwise, I'd be dead already. "

If Barth had been a saboteur, I would have been killed.

A reincarnated man who has lived longer than me, and can't even control that demon king to kill me.

Well, I don't know why I tried so hard to kill a brave man like this.

"If you ask me ~ ~ I'm sure it is ~ ~"

So, tell me the answer.

"Half... no, this time, three-quarters is the order of the Creator ~"

"A quarter is your decision... Killing a brave man?

"Correct. If you want the gods to blow you off, the brave are in your way. But the gentle creator is still lost in his decision. That's why I decided to force you to make your way... to this action..."

"In order for God to blow a bubble... you want me to pull it off?

"Yes. To do that, there are only three powers left in this world: Creator, Destroyer, and Demon King."

Yeah, that's right. Otherwise, you can't die at the same time.

"No, then... you..."

There's no balus in that condition.

"Of course, I plan to die within 80 years ~ ~"

"Are you sure?

"Don't worry ~ ~ I've been alive for 300 years, so I've had enough fun."

Three hundred years... I can't imagine the length.

Sure, I think that's enough for me to live with.

"I see. So why would a creator hesitate to kill a brave man? You've been alive for almost a thousand years, haven't you? I can't believe it...."

"That's not true. Besides, you know Leon's personality is a copy of the Creator. Master Leon, you tried to save the brave man even though you were dying."

"So the creator feels similar?

Can't you kill a brave man like me?

"Ha-ha-ha. I can't kill someone who's already in love, even if they betray me."

"I see. So why did you do so much trouble this time? You could have killed us easily, right?

"There's a complicated reason for that. One is my own rules."

"Rules?"

"Yes, I would never kill someone with my own hands ~ ~ And I won't force you to kill anybody ~ ~ I'm only going to give you that choice from the shadow ~"

"That's how you've provoked people....."

I see. All mysteries have been solved.

The King's sudden brilliant actions and the raid on the royal castle.

It's all because he was manipulating people in the shadows.

"Of course, I know you're self-satisfied, but I'm still obsessed with this way. Even this time, the hero stabbed Mr. Leon with his own will ~ ~"

You give that choice where there's no other choice... you look like a demon.

Well, you're not the only one who kills people indiscriminately.

"So, is there still a reason for that?

"I can't tell you that ~ ~ ~ In the meantime, I've been called, so let me go home. Ah, a message from the creator ~"

"The Shadowsman idiot did something wrong. Come to me after a break. You already know the location, don't you? Ah, if you use magic now, you'll die, so don't forget that. I'm looking forward to seeing you. Bye ~"

More than what? You're kidding.

If you use magic, you die? What is the Creator going to call me and tell me?

Hah... it doesn't make sense to think about it anyway.

"Still... I didn't know this war was the work of the Creator, not the Destroyer."

I expected the reincarnated to be involved, but I didn't think it was the faction I thought was on my side.

"Uhh...."

"All right, all right."

While stroking Bell's head, which still didn't stop crying, I tried using magic sensing to feel my magic.

... hmm? The magic is leaking little by little.

I see... you've become a body whose magic keeps waning. Sure enough, if you use magic, you won't die.

Leo, are you okay?

"Ah, Shelly. What happened outside the wall?

Looking back, Shelley and Lou were running towards us.

Looks like the battle over there is over.

"Successfully destroyed. The General's body was found."

"Really... You lost someone."

General, it was a bit outrageous, but I wanted to pull you out of the kingdom because you were brilliant.

"More than that... why is Belle crying naked? Maybe Leo...?

"Chi, no."

What are you talking about? I was dying just now.

It's just... I'm not thinking of something useful... Mm-hmm.

"I know. I could see Belle as a wolf from the wall."

"... did Sherry and the others know who he was?"

"Of course. How many times have you been helped in the dungeon?"

Oh, you look familiar in the dungeon.

I wish you'd shown it to me. Well, if you're naked every time you transform, you don't want to do it.

"Belle, when you look like that, you're really strong. This time, you won the championship."

"Well, that's right... no, I can't help hiding it."

That said, I showed them a scar on my belly.

That said, there are no scratches on my body. To see the holes in your clothes and the blood.

"That's a lot of blood... What's wrong?

"Actually, Kate had a fatal wound."

"Eh!?

"So, were you okay?

"Yeah, well, with creative magic."

"Are you sure you can manage...?

"Yeah, I'm fine. I can't use my magic anymore."

Probably. It'll be fine.

Sherry and Lou didn't react, so they'll stay the same.

When it comes to decreasing magic... all I have to do is ask the Creator.

"Eh... can't you use magic?

"Yeah, if you use magic on this body, you're gonna die."

"That's not true....."

"Besides, it looks like there's still something going on, so I have to go to someone I know better."

"Someone familiar? Who's that...."

"I'm a creator. Behind that dungeon."

"Eh!? Even though you can't use magic, is it okay to come in!?

Ah, if you ask me... Can I fight without magic?

No, I can't.

"Hmm... I think I'll have everyone protect me. I don't mind light exercise... but I'm scared if something happens to me."

"Okay. Now it's our turn to protect Leo. Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Because it's dangerous, Shelley would be angry if she answered my messages here...

Well, actually... Shelley's magic is better than mine, and it's probably hard to attack without Shelley.

"Please. Ah, but... you might need enough power to take on my dungeon. Anyway, it's a dungeon that someone like me would have built with all my might."

"Eh...."

"It's okay, I'm serious!

Lou smiled beside Shelly, who was in shock.

I'm sure you'll be glad to have the opportunity to be unraveled for the first time in a long time.

"No... I don't think the Creator is taking measures against the Destroyer, so I think it's tough with Lou."

"So, what do we do?"

"Let's get ready for a week. So I have to challenge Herman with Alma, Gillette, and Gil."

If that's impossible... well, we'll have to give up seeing each other.

Well, I don't think the creator has that many thoughts, and I think he can probably tackle it even if he struggles.

"Okay. In a week, you'll be at your limit."

"You don't have to. Ah, yes. I'll give this to Belle."

That said, I handed over Missanga, who was wearing her feet, to Bell.

"What is this...?

"It's like an amulet that makes you stronger. Even if I wear it now, it doesn't make sense, and the bell is wearing it."

It's Missanga that goes up faster.

This has caused me to grow up strangely.

Well, it's an emergency right now, and I don't know what to do with Bell's level.

"Oh no... I don't know."

Sure enough, Bell didn't try to take it.

You're really cute.

"Belle will protect me, won't he? That's what you promised."

"But... I couldn't protect Leo."

"No. I'm alive and I think I can protect myself."

"Still...."

"Still? Will Belle no longer protect me?

"No...."

Well then, that's good. Put this on and get your eyes full. "

"I see...."

With Bell's approval, I put Missanga on Bell's feet.

Strengthen the bell instead of me. I asked for it.
