Instant Death

The maid doll was staring at the blurry, shining wall and snapping her neck.

There are no major problems in the progress of the Kensei selection and there are no cases to be dealt with urgently. But there were a few things that bothered me. Even if it's not enough to take one at a time, if it overlaps too much, that makes it a problem.

This is the basement of the tower.

In a stone room about ten metres square, one side opens wide. From there he was able to ascertain the canyon, the figure of the demon god and his family. This room exists on a cliff.

Though the moonlight comes in. It's dim in the room. But the footage shown on the wall lit up the area. That's where you'll find information about the state of the tower and the junction.

This was the hub of control over everything in the tower and the place where the demonic sealed kingdom was needed.

"What's it like?

There the old master, Kensei, was revealed.

"The selection is progressing well. But there are a few things that concern me. The first is the situation outside the First Connection. I saw movement of more than one person. Details are unknown."

The First Connection was a massive one covering the perimeter of the tower, covering up the presence of the tower and the demon god.

There is no way to see the outside world from within the junction, and perimeter surveillance is carried out by regular reconnaissance. I'm sending in an automatic doll just like a maid doll, but I didn't know anything more than someone wandering around.

"That's the only way to see how it goes. Sometimes it's just passing."

But no one comes aimlessly to a deserted canyon. You will need to be vigilant.

"Next inside the tower, but there are more deaths on the first day than usual. This is mostly by Teresa, the swordsman."

"I could have expected this to happen at a time when he was mixed up. But most of them die anyway. Sooner or later."

"Why won't you kill them all right away?

The maid doll heard what she had long wondered.

Seoul is needed to maintain the bond, and people need to die inside the tower to get Seoul. Then you shouldn't have to go around, but you should have killed them all by the time you put them in the tower.

"That's easy. Because choosing Kensei is also true. There are too many people dying in the selection, so we're just trying to maintain the bond. I don't think it's as much of a problem as it usually is."

"Theresa died."

"Whoever dies, you care. It's not this way, is it?

"Yes. But the numbers don't match. Theresa and I are not among the recovered spirits"

"... Hmm. If it's true that he's dead, maybe he ghosted it before the tower absorbed it."

If Seoul was the energy to drive the body, it was said that Spirit was the command tower that commanded the spirit. Both diffuse after death, but spirits sometimes remained intact, which sometimes happened in the case of high-ranking mages and swordsmen.

"We have confirmed Theresa's body, but we do not know the cause of her death"

I can tell you the current state of the tower in this room, but I couldn't even grasp what happened in the past.

"So far, there is room for the amount of spirit needed to maintain the bond. But if the same thing were to continue in the future, it would be dangerous."

A good quality spirit can multiply the power of Seoul. It was an essential element in maintaining the bond.

"I have a few years' worth of savings at the moment. Doesn't mean it's a problem right now."

"Rather, the problem would be generational. It's time to reach the limit. It doesn't mean we need this one right now, but the alternative (spare) seems a little unforgivable to the three of us."

"Hmm. No, you had a guy who was good at magic. Wouldn't that work?

What Kensei says is about the girl who unleashed her magic on the roof to the demons.

The maid doll confirmed the girl's current position.

The girl was resting on the eightieth floor. The tower consists of a hundred levels, still far to the ground floor, but seems to be successfully clearing the trials.

"What shall I do?"

"In the meantime, I'll keep the selection going, but if you're dying, collect it. You can use it if you live. So, what else do you care?

"Yes, there was an intruder inside the tower. It's a summons."

"I feel that's quite important, to the extent that you care?

"Yes, it was the body of a woman with no particular power who was summoned, and the surgeon extends to sexual intercourse"

"That's a lot of courage. In this situation, you summon me for something like that."

Kensei said as impressed. Summoning is not something that can be done so easily, it requires immense magic. I guess you didn't think to use that for the exude of lust.

"There is one more thing that concerns me inside the tower. Master is among the candidates."

"Hmm? Your master would be me, though?

"No, my producer, the Great Mage Iglesia."

"That's the guy who fought the demon gods a thousand years ago. Are you still alive?

"I don't know the details, but I can't possibly see the master wrong"

"He said he wouldn't refuse to come. You know it's Kensei's choice, these guys?

Says Kensei as if he was stunned.

From what the maid doll has seen, only about half of the candidates can be purely swordsmen. I don't have a problem with what kind of qualities if I have the strength, but it would be difficult to be named Kensei even though I can barely use the sword.

"Finally, about the family of the demon god. A unique individual is trying to get out of the Second Connection. The expected time to cross the border is noon in three days."

It is the second kingdom that seals the demon god, and the center with the demon god is the most effective. And the effect was diminishing so far away from the center. In other words, the families in the surrounding area will eventually emerge from the bond.

For this reason Kensei was unable to leave the tower for a long time. Because it is the duty of Kensei to defeat the occasional family members.

"Want to hit the candidate? I don't think Kensei is responsible for taking down his family."

"Sounds tedious."

"That's all we got, huh? Don't use it. What do you do?"

"Do I need to add a hand?

"What good is a man dying in a trial?"

Head to the opening where Kensei was made large. The maid doll stood next to it.

What Kensei sees is a space in which the canyon is spherically decided. In its centre, there are demons and holy kings.

And around it were also the families who were fighting with the demon gods.

The movement is not so visible. But he was definitely getting closer.

"Human-type? That's a hassle."

Kensei crushed with blur.

That was laughing.

closest to this one. It was something in the shape of a person.
