In a Different World with a Smartphone

# 265 Burning capital, and crystal skeleton.

In the desert, far from Astar, the second capital of Sandra, he found three of Kuno's best.

In the meantime, apply "recovery" to everyone and send them straight to the quarantine infirmary at Brunhild Castle by "gate". To get Flora and Tika to test it.

Just in case it's some kind of germ or something, it's gonna be a big deal. Though I think it's okay.

I misplaced it and asked Sister Kanna and Sister Blades to come in when I was free. If you're insane, including me, it doesn't matter about germs.

The sun is going down, so I'll put the two of you on it and fly all the way to Astar with a magical carpet.

Along the way, there were several different carriages than the ones that had escaped from Astar.

I didn't seem to notice this one at all because of the cover-up magic, but he seems to be a traveling merchant. There were no survivors on the earlier maps, and probably saw the misery of the visiting Astar and escaped.

Eventually, in the twilight desert, we saw a fortified city nestled with potpounds. Is that Sandra's second city, Astar?

A high protective wall made of reddish brick-like stones would have prevented enemy incursions and protected the city. However, the gates into the city remain open and have not served.

Several humans had fallen and died in front of the gate. From where you're wearing armor, is it a gatekeeper,

"This is..."

They are all dried up like mummies with a distressingly distorted look on their faces. From all over the body, hexagonal columns of crystals are popping up, seemingly bursting out of the interior.

When I followed that crystal with the blade tip of Brunhild, I rolled off every root body tissue.

When I took the fallen crystal in my hand, it was only too brittle strength for the crystalline wood of the fraise. Easily breaks like a candy worker when force is applied.

"What the hell happened in this capital...?

When one shrugs, Sister Shiraguchi and Sister Kanna, who were lying on the side, peek into the falling corpse with a difficult face.

"I knew this was..."

"That doesn't sound wrong."

The two nod face-to-face.? What the fuck?

"Have you noticed anything?

"Right. I don't know what happened, but the people rolling here are eating their souls"

"Are they eating your soul?

What's this all about? I've heard people say things that make me lose my soul.

"To put it plainly, when man dies, his soul leaves his body and goes to heaven below the divine realm in which we live. So they wash their souls and send them to their new bodies to be reborn again. He's a reincarnator."

"Well, too sinful a soul can only be shredded and reincarnated by animals because it will require powerful purification, but still not removed from the circle of reincarnation. But......"

"Their souls here have not ascended to heaven. Winter night, the divine eye... concentrate your divine power on both eyes and look at this corpse."

Sister Kanna is right, I try to stay divine in both eyes and focus my gaze on the corpse.

Then in the corpse, I saw something like a weakly glowing sphere. Is this the soul?

But the soul, by the way, was lacking like a worm eater, and the twitch seemed to weaken the light.

Did you see that? That's the "eaten soul". All you have to do is disappear. Even out of the circle of reincarnation, never to be reborn into something again. It's a real extinction. "

Real extinction. Existence disappears from this world and from the afterlife. I'm not sure about that.

"How can I manage to help my soul alone..."

"There is, but it is the work of God." We can't just use it here on earth. You're not gonna try, are you? Shinjin, the new god, is overly loaded. "

Sister Kanna stabbed me with a nail.

"And we have to burn down all the bodies we have here. Sometimes when the soul does not rise to heaven, it settles in the flesh. That way undead is inevitable. Zombies seeking raw and roaming the earth will be born"

When it comes to Sister All Blades, it seems that the state in which the soul has settled in the flesh even after death, whether the soul is indispensable or not, is undead. Some undead have the will, out of resentment and raw obsession, but not the soul lacking undead.

Normally, if we purify the undead, the soul is free from the flesh and bound for heaven. But a missing soul cannot climb to heaven. We just have to disappear with the flesh.

Will they really be removed from the circle?

When I entered the city, my soul was devoured, not only by people, but by horses, dogs and birds, growing crystals from my body and desperate. I wonder if this is Frase's fault after all.

I've thought a lot about it, but I thought I should cook this city by city. There would be merchandise, cash, etc. in the house, shop, etc., but I didn't feel like wasting it or getting it. I don't want to imitate you like a graveyard thief.

Leaving it, I say, will become the property of the heartless and the bandits. Then I felt like I should just erase it from the ground with my owner.

I had the idea of giving it to the Kingdom of Sandra, but there's still the possibility of germs, and it'd be troublesome if it was used to fund mass production of the "collar of slavery".

Search magically make sure there are no organisms and bake this city with the heat of melting gold, silver coins and even metal.

Every soul that has fallen out of the circle.

"Flames, madness, purgatory fire, prominence"

The whole capital will be engulfed in the magic flames I have activated. In the darkness in which the sun has set completely, the burning fires that scorch the heavens burn all things.

The walls of the house collapse, the roof falls, wrapped in flames, and melts.

I was looking at it and feeling terrible. [M]

"Is it common for souls to be eaten?

"In the case of spiritual demons, I wonder if it's possible. Reyes, Phantom, Specter, etc." Soul Eater "demons are attracted to human negative emotions. Souls infested with dark emotions are a great treat for them."

"The easiest target is fear. They love souls dyed with anxiety, fright, despair, those emotions. So they don't show up, they hunt down their opponents with mental fear." Fear of the Unknown "for something we don't know is the emotion that everyone has."

Speaking of which, you've heard in something that only humans are afraid of the darkness. Humans work their imagination that there might be "something" in that darkness. That creates "fear". "Fear of the Unknown" comes from imagination.

Well, I found out that spiritual demons sometimes eat souls. But I don't think this is the work of demons. [M]

The same goes for that crystal, and it feels impossible to prey on all these people. Well, if tens of thousands of Leis attacked, it's not a story I don't know.

Something's... I don't know. Something's moving.

"One thing comes to mind"

Sister Blades squeaks as she looks at the burning capital.

"Something that eats souls and grows...... maybe an evil god is about to be born"

"Uh, I see. There it is. Because this world's artifacts are only about" sorry, hon. "in winter and night... is that the subordinate god," Don't be "?

Is that an evil god? In the artifact, where the power of the gods dwells, and so forth, the evil heart is gathered together to be born God's failure. I guess it's not so much for the gods because they say they're below subordinate gods, but it's important to the people on earth.

Because I say evil gods, but they're not gods, and they're things born on earth, basically the gods seem to be non-interferent. However, I am certain that the power of God is involved in its birth, so I do not leave it irresponsible, although I seem to do enough to give the brave man a divine sword or a holy sword or something.

Subordinate God creates artifacts and plots the birth of evil gods?

"Well, there's nothing to worry about because there's you in this world at winter and night, trying to create an evil god."

"Neither is God with the power of God. But one or the lowest layers of the gods, the conflicting things created by the subordinate gods, the relatives of the opponent or the Almighty God. It won't be a battle."

"... I hope so..."

I'd like you to give me a break about evil gods or something. Well, if it's any lower than that Nettle God, I think I can handle it.

I care more about that crystal symptom than that. I don't think so...... Frase and the subordinate gods put their hands together or something?

I'd like to think that's stupid... but that suspicion doesn't go away.

I also feel like Frase is involved in the birth of an evil god or something. It's only a survey yet......

"... hmm? Something's wrong with you, huh? Something... moving?

Ha, face up to the voices of Sister Blades, who was watching the burning Hellfire. What the fuck?

Shadows swinging in flames. Stupid. Iron's a melting flame too!?

Before I was surprised, a crystal skeleton popped out of the flames.

"Whew!?

Sister Kanna's unleashed arrow of crystalline wood shoots through the head of the skeleton, shaking her arms and attacking her.

The crushed skeleton fell on the spot, but the crushed head regenerated back to normal. This is the same as Fraze......!

The reclamation is over, the skeleton of a loosely raised crystal. Around its heart was a red, shining nucleus of golf balls.

"Huh......!!

Pull Brunhild out, aim for the nucleus, and pull the gun claw Hikaru. As the released bullet pierced the nucleus, the skeleton was scattered in pieces all over his body.

regenerative capability. Crushing the nucleus stops the activity. Exactly like Frase. Probably won't even work with magic. Otherwise, there's no way we can get this far through that flame.

Is this... because of the crystal that was growing out of that body!?

"Looks like it's still coming out. Apparently, bodies all over the capital have been frayed..."

"It's hard to fight here! To the desert!

Back to my voice, both of you. From the gates of the burning capital, one crystal skeleton after another, Skeleton, crawled out of the walrus. As I distance myself from it, my bullet and Sister Kanna's arrow shoot through the nucleus.

Some of these little skeletons are just kids, and I felt like I could tighten my chest, but I still shoot and smash that nucleus.

Their souls will not be saved anymore. If you don't become a Buddha, you won't sleep in peace. It just disappears.

Sister Blades comes forward and crushes the nucleus of the skeletal fraise with a sword. The hell it's not strong, but it's troublesome when there are so many of them.

Strength itself is a level that even ordinary swordsmen can defeat. Then...

"Darkness, come, what I seek is Skeleton Warrior, Skeleton Warrior"

One white skeleton after another crawls out of the summons I opened to the ground. Skeleton Warrior, a skeleton warrior with a sword in his right hand and a shield in his left.

Eyes in the eyes, teeth in the teeth. Skeletons. Skeletons.

"Defeat the crystal skeleton coming out of the castle gate! Poke the nukes in your chest!

Unlike other frays, the nucleus of the crystal skeleton is peeled and can be targeted from the crevices of the ribs. It is also possible to crush each rib by force. There are no minor threats.

Summon one skeleton warrior after another. That number, thousands. There is no way that my magic power will do that.

Battle against an army of crystal skeletons and an army of skeletal warriors crawling out of the flames. Apparently, crystal skeletons, like Frase, attack humans by instinct, and even though Astel has other gates, they all come this way.

That's what the Skeleton Warrior walls hold back and lightly crush the crystal skeleton. I don't know what to say...... that's a task.

Wonders and non-human horses, dogs, etc. did not fraze. Is there any condition?

"The battle between the skeleton and the skeleton... It's like a hell of a picture."

Besides, it's a burning city behind it. It doesn't even seem like it came off.

Over the course of two hours, the crystal skeleton was completely expelled by skeletal warriors. The flames that were burning the capital are already going away. I can't find anything that's working anymore by searching.

Thus Astar, the second capital from the kingdom of Sandra, disappeared.
