Transferred to the entrance to the Magic Guild, the heart of the aerial city state of Nerdar. Then, somehow, I was drifting to Nerdar again.

Unlike just a few months ago, it was not as dense as the vision was blocked by black and purple, but about the shallow hierarchy of the labyrinth.

Still, I thought I had removed all causes of irritation, so I immediately became more alert.

"Apparently, I'm distracted. Demons may also appear, so just in case, the Maiden Saints of War should devote themselves to escorting the Pope"

"I understand."

Mr. Lumina solidified the Pope's surroundings when he looked and nodded at the Maiden of War Saints without speaking out.

"Pope, let's move on the premise that there is a raid"

Then the Pope looks at me with a strange face and then asks.

"Do you see Luciel so clearly?

The Pope seems to have the protection of the Spirit King, so I thought he was looking exactly like me, but he doesn't...

"Yes, Pope. Even when Nerdar was targeted by the evil gods before, he managed to deal with it."

At that time, several evil plants were exhaling when they arrived in Nerdar, and the brainwashed researchers were demonizing the inhabitants, and building weapons with spiritual stones.

If it had been too late to go to Nerdar at all, if I hadn't seen my temper, it would have been catastrophic.

"I see...... Are there any peculiar people who can see magic and temper..."

The Pope whined with some small voice, but the voice was too small to hear.

Still, this Nerdar seems like an iron wall because it floats in the air and a junction is stretched without outside interference, but if you can't transfer it when you have enemies inside, it's no different than a prison.

Maybe you should ask the Spirit of the Wind how to escape...

Then I'll show you around.

I lead the Popes into the Magic Guild to move to a space with a world tree where Lydia is protecting the Spirits and the Spirits, and down the stairs through the reception now deserted.

And as we continue down the corridor that leads to the accommodation of the Republic of St. Shroud, we can see that we gradually become more distracted.

I didn't feel any signs or magic, so I tried to speed up the hallway while I was worried - at that time.

Shortly after I activated the sanctuary junction, red and black magic scattered across the junction.

There's still no sign of it, and I don't feel any magic. Still, someone definitely attacked me.

"Luciel, what's the attack now?

"Apparently, you have a demon clan or a family of evil gods."

"Isn't it possible that the Evil Gods have attacked us?

"Yes. If the current attack was an attack by the Evil God, I'd be happy to do the opposite..."

Without destroying the tenacious bond, there was no crackling.

Well, still, it would have been a dangerous enough attack if it had eaten properly...

When I activated the purification wave, it was bounced with some purification waves in order to distract me from the darkening and if it worked on the target I had attacked.

I wonder and practice more magic and pour magic into the purification waves.

Then, of course, a red and black junction appeared that resembled the sanctuary junction in a place where there were no signs or even magic, and immediately after the junction entered, it was broken and scattered, capturing the multiple figures who were in the junction.

It's just that the wrapped temper is too thick to see the opposite, so I activate the purification wave continuously without putting my hair in.

"As always...... hey, just kidding Chee...... Gwaaaaaaaa"

I heard something, but even though a blue and white flame wrapped around my distracted body and I saw it firmly, all I could tell was that I was just a demon.

"Luciel, was it good?

"What is it?

"No, that leading, burning demon tribe? was a mouthful like someone I knew?

"Pope, I did hear a little voice too, but I don't know any demons, do I?

Seeing the demons well, I've still seen them... I don't know.

"I'm kidding."

Looks like the Demon Man went up sharply, but he couldn't move off the spot, leaving the Demon and the other Demons already left the Demon Stone and disappeared.

He's the type of demon who can talk, so I had a lot to ask him if I had time.

Still, taking the Pope under the Spirit Queens first does not change that it is a top priority, so I was not lost.

"I'll stab the stop"

I pull out my fantasy sword, and as I put my magic into it, the Demon Clan forms a red and black magic formation with a magic stone that surprisingly rolls.

"Don't lick me! You cheat bastard!

When I heard the words, I wrinkled between my brows.

Because only a limited number of people have ever called me a cheat bastard since I came into this world.

Whether it's because you've become a Demon Nation, or because you've blown up, there's no shadow at all of that time anymore.

Still, I figured out who he was, that's all.

"It was that slave trader, Brad... is it? I didn't know you came back to life as a demon..."

"It's too late to even notice. You will feed my vengeance."

Red and black magic formations had already been formed around Brad.

And when the magic formation wrapped Brad in red and black and light, Brad seemed enlarged and his magic bounced up, considerably enhanced.

"Come on. The filling is sweet. Shall we have some time to chant the sentence of resignation? Hahahaha."

I didn't say anything, I just activated the sanctuary junction flipped to wrap him up.

Brad cautioned that I might be attacking him, but it seems strange that he tied the line on Brad.

"Brad, is there anything left to say?

"What, you got room for that? You must be the one who's dangerous."

I didn't mean to stir anything up, but maybe I did.

"Enough, I'll wipe you out and plunge the world into despair."

Brad magically attacks the junction, but the sanctuary junction doesn't even freak out.

I would have just wondered the first time. But if that goes on twice, three times, Brad starts to see the rushing color.

"It may not be a mistake to think that being a Demon has made me stronger... I just think it's chronic to stop using the skills you could have used when you were a person."

"Say what... Become!? Levels are creepy. What the hell kind of cheats did you use?

Brad screams in amazement, but he's not sure he can put it to words well.

"It's not just an effort... There were people who met and were saved and guided their will to be strong"

"Can that just make you that strong!!

Brad tries to cleave the sanctuary junction with his sword as he screams less of anger, but the junction plays the sword.

If I hadn't haunted you, only the sword would have passed, but I wouldn't have taught you that.

"Instead, we have to fight evil gods. So, Brad, all I can do is put you back in your circle as a person."

"Ma'am, wait. I need your help."

Brad raised his voice and poked his knee as I tried to activate the purification wave.

"I pray you'll live happily ever after with whomever you want."

"I'm a chosen being! It's true."

I guess Brad hasn't given up until the end. I know how to attack the Popes behind me, so I can take them.

That's why I wanted to talk to Brad for real.

"If we'd met sooner, if we'd been able to save our fiancée, we couldn't help but think so"

……

When I hear my words, Brad has turned against hostility that has not been compared to the previous one.

Still, I go on.

"If there is to be an afterlife, now I want to be friends, not hostile"

Then Brad's hostility disappeared as if it had been a lie, and he looked at me with a frightened face and then turned away and said.

"... I'm sorry I'm friends with cheat bastards"

I gradually activate purifying magic into the world.

"That's terrible...... But if you could have gone to the same place as your fiancée, think about it for a second."

"Can you do that?

"I sound like a cheat bastard, so I'll try my best."

"Shit makes me expect... Do me a favor."

"What?

"... make sure no one like me can do it anymore"

"... I promise I'll do what I can"

"Then I'll purify you."

"Oh, I'll purify you."

"Don't lose to the evil gods."

"Oh."

Then soon Brad left the demon stone and disappeared.

Then my back was supported by two hands.

"Luciel, are you okay?

"Luciel, well done..."

Did they think you were hurt enough to worry about the Pope and Mr. Lumina? But don't worry about it.

"The life as that person was over. So at least I wanted to save my soul, that's all. Come on, we're almost to the accommodation with the World Tree."

I will lead the way again, entering the facility to which the Republic of St. Shroud was assigned.

And shortly after I opened the food vault door, I was to see something incredible.
