"Change to 'ghost' is success"

One man shrugged in the woods out of the village.

There is a considerable distance, and ordinary humans cannot be able to check on the state of the village, etc. Still, a man who was not a normal person had a clear idea of what the village was like.

The purpose for which you are monitoring is to confirm your own achievements.

He's the one who's creating the 'ghost', Teng himself.

"But did you succeed until the change..."

There's no point in me changing it to 'ghost'.

"Who is it?

I didn't seem like a special person when we talked earlier. No, he seemed stronger than the average person because he was an adventurer. But it didn't seem like enough to defeat the 'ghost'.

That's how she looked like a normal girl.

In fact, in normal times, the Mars are restraining their forces to avoid useless whimpering. It is difficult to discern the power unless you are so well endowed with welcoming abilities.

And those who are watching don't have that much power.

"You're in trouble. You can't get 'ghosts' with this"

His aim is to get a little more 'ghosts'.

"It won't be possible to take it from there."

Looks totally restrained just looking from the woods.

"Unfortunately, we don't seem to give up on the 'ghosts' we were supposed to get in this village"

Furthermore, he had also discerned that the adventurers had only the power to destroy the 'ghosts'.

A finished 'ghost' wouldn't even kill you, but it seems like there's nothing you can do with a newborn 'ghost'.

Organize when the situation is spoken and put into words.

"Let's retreat."

Turn your back on the village to get away from this place.

"Where are you going?

……

I look back at the voice of a woman heard from a direction in the village where I turned my back.

"Huh..."

In the eye of the man who turned around were two chains that intersect in front of his chest.

Then two women standing in chains next to themselves. A blonde and a pale woman.

"Well, let me ask you something because there's so much you want me to tell you"

"... who are you people?

See a silver-haired woman with a restrained man standing in the front.

A woman holding a cane and wearing a robe. A style that you can clearly tell is a wizard. But there is a strong sense of killing emanating from it.

"Can you tell if you're a fellow adventurer in that village?

"Chip, was it a mistake to be sitting near that village because someone showed up who could change into a 'ghost'"

A man hits his tongue when he is ashamed of his own lapse.

Thus, he tries to pull a thousand chains that bind him with force.

"It's no use. The chain is not a substitute for breaking even those who are proud of their power."

The chain that binds the man is a special chain called the 'fanatical chain'. It has the effect of sealing the skills of the subject in captivity.

It was also clear from the fact that the man was not a normal human being, that he was monitoring the village from a remote location, and that he was involved in a disturbance that was further transforming it into a 'ghost'. The 'fanatical chain' was used to prevent the use of special skills that a man would possess.

And strength also draws a line with normal chains. It's impossible to get out if you put restraints in order to make it impossible to use skills that reinforce it.

……

Figure out a way for a man to escape.

But it's not easy to get out with your skills sealed.

"This is the first confirmation. You're the merchant who traded in that village."

……

"Silence is not a solution."

A silver-haired woman standing in the front - Melissa's eyes and wand glow demonically purple.

"... yes"

The Man Implied by [Dark Attribute Magic] - The Merchant Affirms Lightly.

It is only because [dark attribute magic] is available that it is possible to make him confess that Melissa takes on a dangerous interrogator by standing in the front and continues to be concerned for Sylvia and Illis to remain in custody.

Those familiar with magic can also resist allusions.

However, the merchant was to be easily accepted because of his low resistance to magic.

"How are you producing 'ghosts'?

- The power of faith.

"Faith?"

"That's right. Lord Tishua, who was believed in this land."

Tishua, the god of abundance.

The beast man himself trapped in another world in order to retreat the god beasts who were raging around in the kingdom of Memphis.

Later, her thoughts on her would elevate her to God, and she was rewarding the scourge of visiting the Kingdom of Memphis through 'witches' and giving her favors by raining on those who wanted grace.

"Looks like you were saved by Master Tishua. Why would you do something like this if you were supposed to believe her?

"Because this is what Tishua wanted."

Melissa asks Tishua for confirmation by reading.

But Tishua's answer, obtained via Noel, was' denial '.

"She doesn't want this."

"That's not true. It is Master Tishua who gives me this power and wants divine punishment. He appeared before me in despair when I was told he had lost his status as God, and he gave me great power!

A merchant who can invest in his whole body.

Seems like he's trying to do something, but he can't use any skills in a state bound by the 'fanatical chain'.

"It's a nasty chain."

- Dokun!

Melissa and the others felt the unpleasant power increase among the merchants.

It resembles the power of God. However, it felt like something completely heterogeneous just because it was similar.

"He who withholds the will of God shall be judged by the power of God"

The merchant's body in captivity swells up for a moment and immediately returns to its original size.

When you sew up the gaps you made in between and jump up, you land on the tree branches that are around you when you get out of the 'fanatical chain'.

"I just want to say...... this one also has no reason to confront you guys over lack of preparation. I'm going to let you back out here."

"Never let them get away with it!

Lin, trying to restrain the merchant when branches are created and stretched out of the tree by Melissa's magic using the situation.

"Oops."

But it is played by the merchant's waving hand.

It was no ordinary branch that tried to restrain me. Branches created in a state enhanced by Melissa's magic. It's not a substitute for being played where normal humans pay for it.

"A woman shouldn't have such a blade."

Even Sylvia's dagger, wielded from behind by poking more surprises, was grabbed by the blade and taken.

The blade is hit. But there is no way the blood is flowing and it is flat.

"It's no use."

An ice-cold strikes directly at the merchant's chest.

However, the clothes have not been fatally injured to the extent that they are torn.

"My purpose is this way"

Cold air emanating from the ice column freezes the feet of every branch on which the merchant stands.

I have to seal my movements and hear what I have to ask.

"No power is meaningless in front of faith."

The merchant's legs get huge and crush the ice from the inside out.

The magic of Illis had completely frozen the merchant's feet. You shouldn't be safe if you imitate like you're forced to crush it.

... I realized that the thought was a mistake when I saw a dewy merchant's foot.

"Red and black skin - 'ghosts'!

The merchant's feet discolored red and black, and a number of white lines were running.

If you look closely, the inside of your hand, which is taking Silvia's dagger, has changed in the same way.

"There's really no reason to confront you guys. It's time to let them disperse."

"Yikes!"

A merchant throwing Silvia alongside the dagger he was grabbing.

"Knock..."

Hard to restrain.

Melissa creates a light sphere and hits the merchant, which she decides is better than being able to escape.

"It doesn't work like that."

It was fogged by the 'ghost' arm, which completely changed to the shoulder.

"You can't let them get away with it! We need to find out how to undo those who have turned into 'ghosts' somehow!

"How to undo...?

The foot of the merchant who was trying to escape stops.

I regret getting away with it over being interrupted. At least I want to see them regret knowing the truth.

"There is no such thing. Only those who have become 'ghosts' will continue to wield their power forever. That's what God wants!

A merchant who escapes with a leg that turns only the last word of despair into a 'ghost'.

"Wait!

"Let's stop it"

"Why!?

Melissa stops Sylvia from trying to chase an escaped merchant.

"Now it's a priority to explore ways to undo those who have become 'ghosts'"

Melissa's role is to hear how to undo it from the killer who changed it to 'ghost'.

But there is no way to undo it based on what it looks like when you leave. At least, I'm pretty sure the killer doesn't know.

"So what do you do?

"The Lord knows what's going on here."

Marus had grasped this situation while detaining Zanga, who became a 'ghost'.

It doesn't look like the killer gave up because he didn't know how to undo it.

"Let's go back and help first"
