Invincible Saint ~Salaryman, the Path I Walk to Survive in This Other World~
331 A nastier title than the brave
Waiting ahead of the transfer was a space-time dragon that was still going to decay and a spiritual queen activating some magic beside it.
"I'm back now. Dear space-time dragon, what does it look like..."
"Luciel, your attack was too strong, and they blew the body you were fixing on, didn't they? The attack prevented me from keeping you alive."
So, isn't it pretty important?
Was it true that the Spirit Queen said she couldn't fight?
"It didn't seem like there was that much damage when you transferred me? And he refused to recover."
"This generation had already reached its limits. Still, the reincarnated dragons were sealed, so they anchored themselves in this space to stay in the world for a little while longer."
Maybe I've done something terrible? Something about doing bad and activating the actions of evil gods......
I'm afraid to ask directly, but I decided to open up for a little while and then ask again.
"Sometimes I blew it up, but the other reincarnated dragons have opened up, and are you okay with all this?
"Well, I guess it's okay. As for the reincarnated dragon, there was a poisonous dragon who gave it the role of dragon god, and it was certain that this body would decay when it was attacked and blown away anyway."
"Really..."
Shouldn't you have blown it? I still think so.
"That's right. If I were dead, I'd just be unable to get out of this labyrinth. I've activated delayed magic all over my body, except my head, so thank you."
Thank you. I'll sit down.
I have a lot to say, but if it had vanished, you couldn't have just left... really good.
And does that mean the healing magic was pointless? Is it aging... I envy you.
But what happens to that pain if you stop time with a serious injury? Were you in pain for about fifty days? Or can space-time dragons block pain?
All those things came to my mind, but it was pointless to ask, so I decided to switch the subject immediately.
"Was it...... it took me about fifty days to get that back, but is there still a continuation of my training?
"Haha. Luciel, you love training. But my body won't move anymore, and I promised the Spirit Queen that I'd free you from this labyrinth."
That was the word I was supposed to want.
And in the center of the room, magic formations appeared to respond to the words.
Now you can gradually go home.
With that in mind, a new anxiety arises in my head when I look at the decay of the space-time dragon.
"Thank you. I'll sit down. But before you go, I'd like to ask you something."
"What?
"Can I defeat or retreat from evil gods as I am now?
I never thought it would be that easy to stop time or let it transfer.
On the other hand, I don't think it's just because it's a space-time dragon, and even if I remember the space-time attribute, I'm not confident.
"Well, you can't. So I'm going to give you another power."
"You say clarity. But another force, ah!?
When the body of the space-time dragon glows for a moment, the reincarnated dragon neckline emerges from the neck, and the light from the space-time dragon is sucked into the neckline.
Not only that, but the light poured in from the necklace to the fantasy sword.
"Now all the reincarnated dragons will have power in their necklaces. If the time really comes to fight the evil gods, you should summon whoever you want with that necklace as your subordinate. The only way to use it is to call those who imagined it with magic."
I seriously think it was such a great thing.
"... can you call Master Kleia with that summons?
"If you're a space-time dragon, you'll be glad to join the war."
I guess this means artifacts even if they don't.
Well, given the future, it really helps.
"Thank you so much. I'll sit down. By the way, I think I poured into this fantasy sword, does it work any good?
"Of course I do. Reborn, when you are confronted with an evil god with it, the people around you will not be undead if they are caught or touched by the evil god."
It was more performance than I thought.
You can fight with your masters with this.
Well, if you can fight within activated sanctuary junctions, it seems to have the same effect.
"Thank you. I'll sit down. Now...... ah"
"Hmm? What's wrong?
Here I thought it was like a fantasy sword was a holy sword.
And if it's my role to get rid of evil gods...
When I think about it, I get a strong feeling of being very nasty.
"That space-time dragon, this doesn't make you a brave man or anything, does it?
"What, reincarnator, did you want to be a brave man? Then you should look at this one all the time and get some protection from the silent Spirit Queen."
I look blatantly nasty and see the Spirit Queen.
"Though that face doesn't like to get protection from me, or doesn't want to be a brave man, or is it both again?"
Reflecting that it was just rude, I sincerely decide to say that I don't want to be a brave man.
"Excuse me. I'd like some protection to increase my chances of survival if I can. But you don't want to carry the role of brave man. And the brave ones show up in about forty years, right?
It was the space-time dragon who answered my question.
"Right. It's just someone with the brave factor, to be exact. The reincarnated are the real brave ones who, like you, get their own protection."
It's going to really push the role as it is.
"... then we will fight the evil gods with fantasy wands, not fantasy swords"
"That's rational. But if you don't want to be so brave, there's a way to give them protection that doesn't make them brave."
"Is it true!?
"Uh, I'm bored."
I think what the Spirit Queen is saying is true from how the space-time dragon looks.
But is this space-time dragon really on the verge of decay? It just seems interesting.
If you think so, the Spirit Queen begins to talk about it.
"Shut up, space-time dragon. Do you know that a brave man is a pair of demon kings?
"Yes."
"What you're trying to deal with is an evil god. That's why you don't have to be brave."
That word will save me.
Then it is decided that you should get protection.
"That's what I'm asking you to do."
"Let's do it after we get out of here."
"... Yes"
I still think it's a good time.
"Come on. It's time to go. We can still afford it, but we don't know when it's going to happen."
"Okay. I'll see you soon."
"The space-time dragon, sooner or later"
"Yeah. I'll take care of this world."
I want you to say that to those who will be brave.
Though I thought so from the bottom of my heart, I finished my greeting and the Spirit Queen proceeded to the magic formation, aiming for the earth.
"Ah, the world tree is properly responsible for transplanting where it was."
Where such a space-time dragon's voice was heard, it was swallowed by the light of the magic formation.
Then immediately the light subsided, but that was not where the dragon gods were.
It was just somewhat familiar.
"Do you know where this is?
"Looks like you're back on the ground safely. This is the site of a world tree."
Was it because of that that I looked familiar somehow?
But really, the Spirit Queen looks happy.
If the Forenoirs meet again, I guess the Spirit will make everyone happy.
"Really? Then we will immediately transfer to the location of Forenoir and Dragon God."
"I want you to wait a little longer for that. I want to inform the spirits of their return now."
I could somehow guess what it meant to meet the Forenoirs differently, so I decided to let the Spirit Queen do whatever she wanted.
There doesn't seem to be any particular problem with opening up here anymore.
"... ok. Let me know when you're done."
"Okay."
That's what the Spirit Queen said and closed her eyes.
It was when I tried to stay away for a little while that I would lack concentration even if I was nearby.
It was as if the Spirit Queen danced slowly to set the stage for the stump of the world tree.
And when I think the slightest magic of the Spirit Queen felt, all of a sudden the world was covered in various colors... so illusory that all of a sudden I feel like a ball of light gathered to see the Spirit Queen dance.
I'm sure this whole thing is the Spirit.
Then that voice suddenly sounded in my brain.
Pyron [Title Won Blessings and Protections of the Spirit Queen]
When I saw the Spirit Queen, at some point the Spirit Queen's eyes were open.
"It's Luciel the Wise. I sincerely thank you for freeing me from the labyrinth of the world tree."
"It's good to be able to help."
"Has it changed that Luciel the Wise doesn't want to be a brave man?
"Yes."
"Now let's call it the Guardian of the World."
"What, I don't want such a grand title..."
Pyron [Title We have earned those who defend the world]
I don't need titles sticking out of people's boundaries. I feel like I've been repaid with a vendetta.
"Now can you take me to my daughters?"
"... Yes"
I didn't feel like complaining about spiritual sentiment, so I dropped my shoulders and moved to the foot of the Dragon Valley.
