Disciple of Immortal
Episode 62: Zorophilia, the God of Terror
"This, it shouldn't be... oh, the New World is right there... I'm the last descendant of Nigrade..."
Notts fell on the spot and poked his hand at the ground.
He looks up at me with his breath absurd.
"... in this city, I'm sure, I can't keep you in captivity. I don't know what you did this for... but let me drop that neck."
I set up the Hero Sword Gilgamesh.
The notes are too dangerous.
He had just planned to kill all the human beings in this city of Aaroburg by the Sacrifice of the Person (Sacrifice), or something still lay ahead.
"For what,... f, f, f..."
Notts laughs.
"In this situation, what..."
"It's a shame that I'm dying here and I can't do my part as a cleric at all... but it's already trivial, like my life. The Sacrifice of the Person is only a juncture for magic replenishment in order to exercise more high-ranking magic…"
That's what Notts says when he doesn't mind if he dies.
It's just, you know, strengthens, right?
No, Notts, I don't think he's the kind of person who talks about that.
"I… have used the magic of Sacrifice to finish the Ritual of Liberation of the Sealed God (Nirvana) before you came here. Thanks to you, like a piece of magic, who approached the deepest part of the junction, it was full of magic much earlier than planned. Zolophilia, which was sealed by man's stupidity and his cause, has already returned to this world…"
Notts opened his eyes and lifted the end of his mouth wide.
The expression was full of hatred and malice.
The purpose of Sacrifice was not to attack cities.
He used the magic gathered to activate the "Enclosure God Liberation Rite (Nirvana)" and the goal was to unseal Zolophilia, the god of Notts' faith.
"No one can stop me anymore...... Zorophilia will only this time dye everything in this world with fear, without a shred of forgiveness. F, F, F………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Oh, oh, more inherited than ancient times, the time has come for my clan's grief to be fulfilled! The world will take today as its frontier and change the way it is! What a small thing to say about my life and death there...!
Just then, the whole basement started to shake.
The first ominous signs I felt drifting in this hall were not those of Notts.
There was something else already in this place.
"Ooh, ooh, ooh! Come, come, come, come! Come, come, come, come, come, come! Zorophilia, our God, is coming!
Notes start laughing out loud.
"... so, bo"
Something came up.
It was creepy, as if it were sounding from the bottom of the earth.
"A...... so, bo......"
Something appeared behind me.
I checked it softly with my ass.
A huge green and red mask was floating around.
The mask contains multiple patterns of spirals, with empty eyes poking open to the left and right.
The mask was nearly three metres high, and from the back there was a creepy mass of meat, as emerald as the mask, that hung plants and animals together, from which several tentacles were stretched.
The tentacles were also vividly shaped, like plants, but somewhere reminiscent of human hands and feet.
chunks of green organs to wear masks and would be best suited to describe them as such.
"Hey, what is this monster..."
I felt my spine get cold.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Zorophilia! Our God! Oh, how beautiful! With these eyes, I didn't know you could see! Oh my God... Oh my God! Oh, Father, Mother, the great ancestors who died in humiliation on a distant day! I, I finally, did it!
Notts wakes his body and arms together, weeping and praying to the alien monster.
Is this what this grotesque thing is about Zolophilia, his god of faith?
When I was distracted by the unusual excitement of the notes and, above all, the anomaly of Zolophilia, countless tentacles stretched from Zolophilia hit me.
"Gu!"
The reaction was delayed.
As I turn my back, I wave the Hero Sword Gilgamesh to amputate Zolophilia's tentacles and fly behind my back.
But soon another tentacle tangled my leg.
"A... SO, BO... A, SO, BO..."
"Ugh!
Zorophilia wields my body with her tentacles.
On my back, a hall wall hit me.
Zorophilia keeps swinging at me, even as I sharpen the stone walls.
"Huh!"
As it was, he was made to circle the four sides of the hall wall.
When I twisted my body and tried to cut my tentacles with the Hero Sword Gilgamesh, Zolophilia let me go and threw me against the wall.
One side of the stone wall runs, collapses, and a landslide hits me.
"Ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! I was on the verge of it, but now I'm saved too! Oh, Zolophilia, great beloved God of Terror! I meant what I was born for today! Zolophilia, lead the world distorted in the hands of fools to the way it should be! Ahahahahahahahahaha!"
I hear Notts laughing.
I left the wreckage of the wall and crawled outside.
"A...... so, bo............"
The enormous mask of Zolophilia was fast approaching the present.
"... around level 2000, by the way"
That's how I shrugged, waving my thoughtful "Hero Sword Gilgamesh" across the street.
A hero's blade runs on the mask.
A large groove was formed, the surface was shredded, and tentacles like arms were pulled off a thousand times.
"Aaaa, aaaaaaa!
Zorophilia flew up with the impact of the slaughter as she screamed.
Break through the ceiling and make a big hole.
Around, the wreckage of tentacles and meat chunks chopped a thousand pieces from Zolophilia were scattered.
"Ahahahahaha, ahahaha............ what?
Notts follows Zorophilia up to the ceiling, then looks at me with his mouth wide open.
I was stuck by accident and I was supposed to get my first shot, but that's all.
Zorophilia is weaker than I am.
I was a little surprised by the appearance, but, well, that's the grotesque I occasionally see in The Curse Mirror of the Distorted Realms.
Hard to say god of fear.
"If it's a stronger demon, I've seen it several times in Hell's Hole (Coquitos). To this extent, there is no way to reach world rule. Fear God is a good place to lose a name."
In the upper hierarchy, I saw Zolophilia anguished.
"A, Azo, Azo, Bo... A..."
Even that would be too much of a threat from the inhabitants of the city of Aaroburg.
If you let them escape, they could destroy this city.
I have to stab Todome fast.
