Episode 176: Evil, Justice, and the End and

"Chi, hey! Mr. Ult, if you touch that..."

Because you heard that voice?

No, you don't?

Anyway, Mr. Ult stopped his hand a little in front of him.

"Alim... she's really strong."

That's what Mr. Ult said.

"What do you mean..."

"Alim told us yesterday? Isn't it? 'I can't beat myself'... because I'm strong. You're absolutely right. I'm still trying to fight."

Oh, that's the thing.

Actually, I did.

Despite what I'm saying, Mr. Ult still has, like, dead eyes.

"... Alim, we're all dead. The people in the king's capital were also dead. Palasna... Bacchus and the others... Mr. Gilmers, the King and Micah."

"That's... yes... but not yet..."

Still, I can bring it back to life.

I tried to say that, but Mr. Ult blocked it.

"Not yet... right, there's hope. The hope of defeating the demon god is you."

"No, I'm not..."

"... that's all I can do"

Is that what you're panicking about?

Mr. Ult doesn't try to listen to me.

I can't help it, this guy doesn't know he can bring us all back to life.

That's what I'm trying to tell you, ____.

"Good luck with that, then"

When Mr. Ult said that, in an instant, he became the last man, and he hand-scratched the black beard drifting around me.

At the same time, Mr. Ult fell to the ground and stopped moving.

Wasn't Mr. Ult immortal?

There is no way to come back to life.

... Should we bring it back to life now?

No, I guess we should do it later when it's safe, just like Micah.

From where Mr. Ult dismissed it, we can go outside.

I got out of there so I wouldn't waste Mr. Ult's act.

Yes... I'll bring it back to life later.

Mephistophales flew back as I stepped out of the siege net.

If you look closely at him standing on the ground, he's covered in scratches. I guess that's how they threw me hard.

"Chip... because of the interrupter... have you gotten out of the net of Harmagedon..."

Mephistophales put his hand up in heaven again, but I expanded the zone, cut the feathers, and absorbed the MP.

Now, it doesn't seem to be smoke, and the attack went through.

To avoid missing this opportunity, as it were, create a lot of legendary restraints, put them on Mephistophales, and eventually lock them in an Orihalcon cage.

And release the zone.

"Kuh... MP out...!? And this..."

All right, it's like my win is already confirmed.

I guess I should have knocked him down lighter.

Then you didn't have to sacrifice Mr. Ult.

In this war, I'm... full of things to reflect on.

I was licking it, but it's true that all the people I need to protect are killed... already.

If I didn't have the means to bring people back to life...

"It's my win, Mephistophales. Give it up. MP's gone, right?

Mephistophales looks at this one with a flashing face.

After a while, Mephistophales was in that condition, but laughed out again with Nitanita.

Is there anything yet?

"Ku... hehe... no... not so much... Are you combining your time-stopped skills with your item creation skills?... very invincible... it's cheesy, like this... The MP is lost, and I can't use the contract or the smoke magic. Besides, when the feathers of the evil demon were cut off and no instant death attack was possible"

Oh, that wax was out of my feathers.

I didn't realize.

"Ha... my loss... right, this. Complete defeat. A little more... a little more... but I could go home..."

Mephistophales continues to laugh at Nitanita.

It's like it's broken.

By the way, did Mephistophales just say he wanted to go home?

Where? Earth, after all?

Let's check my Mephistophales hometown theory. In person.

"Mephistophales... he said he was going home... where?

Having heard the question, Mephistophales quit laughing and stared at this one.

But soon, again, Nitanita and I laughed out.

"You have no idea... but... well, let's just say it's a different world..."

He has such an atmosphere that he looks away somewhere, nostalgic.

Another world, I'm sure... that would be the world where Miho and I were. I feel that way.

"Hey, Mephistophales"

".................. what is it?

"What is that place in Mephistophales that you want to go home to... possibly... Earth?

Mephistophales opened his eyes and mouth wider than he had just done.

The face was very human, unlike the monstrous and strange of clowns so far.
