Maou no Hajimekata

"You......!

"This is the one who wants to be fierce. How dare you let me kill my sister?"

Holding the falling corpse of Eunice, Zytreed raised an angry pregnant voice.

"I'd love to kill them all, but they say the main body is in the labyrinth. Wash your neck and wait. Get in now and I'll crush you without leaving a piece of meat behind."

Zytreed is right, wave the sword. The Ouls became fragmented pieces of wood in one blow and scattered around.

"There's no need for that. I'm gonna put up a fight here right now."

Amber light blinks on the ground and the oul transfers from the labyrinth. In its arms, a woman was imprisoned.

"You...!

Tied with a rope in the back hand, it was Zaitrid's wife, Hilda, who was protruded.

"This woman's life..."

"imitate without going down."

Before Oul finishes his words, Zytreed flashes his sword. A sword pierced Hilda's chest and she stared at Zaitrid with eyes that seemed incredible.

"Um... I..."

Spitting blood from his mouth, Hilda fell to the ground. As soon as possible, her figure will not resemble Hilda's, it will belong to a strange woman.

"I don't hear any sorcery. Or did you think I'd be upset, knowing I was a phantom?"

He waved his sword and paid his blood, and Zytreed sent Oulu a scornful gaze.

"Oh. No magic will work on you. I don't get lost in that sword, I don't get alarmed, I even get my real sister"

"... what do you want to say, what do you want to do. You think you can beat me?"

"No alarm, no stray. I'm telling you, it's alarming."

Oul kicked and rolled Hilda's body and grabbed her soul up.

"You..."

To the ghost floating in the void, Zytreed opened his eyes. Because the figure was indisputable and belonged to Hilda.

"The soul cannot be deluded. You'll see that this isn't a lie, it's a real Hilda soul."

"Stupid......!?

Zytreed shook his body and stared at the ghost as he ate in. It is not a phantom by magic. It can't even be mistaken for someone else's aerial resemblance. It's the truth, her soul, her appearance.

"Stupid hero. You disregarded witchcraft as a prank, and you trusted your eyes too much. You can change your appearance, like meat or bones."

Scratch and distort meat and bones and perform healing magic in a fixed state. The meat and bones then change shape along their fixation. And Oul did the same thing in the womb of Pharaoh, the girl of Kuduk, all over Hilda, who had been stripped.

The voice of the original Hilda can be covered with illusion after the throat is burned and the voice is changed. Phantom was the truth.

"You ah!!

"Do you mind? I can make it back to life, right?

Throw down the sword and hit the head of Zytreed trying to grab it by Oulu, Oulu said so. That finger is about to tear the oul apart, and Zytreed's arm stops.

"Poke your chest with a sword. Brilliant arm. With this wound, resuscitation is still possible. Fortunately, this is how I preserve my soul. If you heal the wound and restore your soul, this woman will come back to life. With witchcraft."

Oul embedded Hilda's soul in his body. This way Zytreed can't get his hands on him.

"To be honest, you are tired of falling apart... but spare that arm. If you accept the curse and become my men, I will resurrect your wife."

"What..."

Zytreed's "The Curse of Lead" is a self-inflicted one. Its strength depends on his creed… i.e. the value of saying that what is called witchcraft is not enough to take, that it is a lowlife. Naturally that curse can be broken if he craves and accepts the protection of witchcraft and wishes to resurrect his wife.

Zytreed was troubled. Hilda's death is not like Eunice's.

It's not the difference between my sister and my wife, it's the difference between a hero and just a tyrant. It's the difference between what is destined to die unemployed sooner or later and what left the possibility of leaving the world in peace.

"... will you help Hilda if you do what you say"

"Oh. Let's not leave a scratch, but let it come back to life."

Oul nodded.

"... right"

At the next moment, his body parted left and right and ended up just a piece of wood.

"I refuse."

That was a bitter decision for him. Kill your beloved wife and bear the sin. Even so, you can't stop being a hero. Otherwise, there is no reason for my sister not to stop being a hero until I kill her.

Nobody's gone. So Zytreed was attacked by nothingness.

Destroy the evils of this world, fight irrationality, and protect people. That's the mission given to the hero. But he has not kept his word to that mission.

My wife, my sister. Because he had something to protect, he had fought and dyed his hands with countless pieces of blood. But there's nothing left to protect. He himself killed them both.

"You!"

So he couldn't resist it.

"Hilda......!?

Zytreed hugs her body as she rushes over and hugs her. Soft skin feel, that face I love more than anyone, the voice I'm used to hearing. Undisputed, it was the look of my wife.

"You were safe...?

"Eh......!

Embracing her in tears, Zytreed gently mouthed his wife. Pleasure fills his chest, relief fills his heart. It was a bad dream. I killed my wife, I killed my sister. Thus, he unconsciously accepted the phantom...... magic.

In happiness, the hero's heart stopped moving. The succubus who looked like his wife took all his life.

"... Phew"

Lil exhaled as she undone herself. Hero's vitality has a fine flavor that can be called boulder, and I usually just want to beat it with one of my light mouths, but I don't feel like boulder next to Eunice's neck rolling.

"Owloo, give this child back to life."

Lil gave Eunice's body and head to the shape of Oul, who emerged from the shade of the tree. When Oul touches the cross section of its neck, her neck connects back to normal without any trace of blood. But Oul said without changing his expression, pompous.

"I can't."

"Huh?"

Regardless of Lil listening back, Oulu proceeds on his steps and puts his hands on Hilda's body. This one too, the wound that opened to his chest instantly went back to normal. Then I'll trace the time back to my face and bring it back to its original face.

"... what do you mean you can't"

Lil asked Oulu as he processed the body pale.

"You can't resurrect a hero.... take a good look at the body."

"... Shh. No soul!

Eyes on the body as I was told, and Lil screamed. Without a soul, resuscitation is impossible. No matter how much you undo your body, it's just an empty saucer.

"The soul of a hero returns to heaven as soon as he dies. That's how it's decided."

"... that"

Lil remembered much of the same phenomenon.

"It's nothing to say hero.... there's no big difference between a magician and a magician who made a deal with the devil."

Oul nodded and threw up at Lil losing his word.
