◆Foca◆

As soon as a surviving colleague priest lifted something, the surroundings were covered in pure black fog.

No, you're right, it's a poisonous fog.

Fortunately, there was an antidote magic item loaned from the temple, but the problem was that the most expensive antidote magic item broke apart.

Trouble is, this item turned out to be a single-use, passive detox magic item.

"Koo! Don't leave my side, you guys!"

Fortunately, Lamyz was able to erect the wind barrier, so I was spared another direct blow of poison.

But maybe it wasn't normal poison, and we were attacked by an illness.

Anchotte!

I use detox magic to detox my people over and over again.

"What the hell did you use it for?"

I stared at my colleague smiling at the treasure that was still producing the poisonous fog while shining black.

"Hahaha! This is amazing!" A magic item that creates a poisonous fog and neutralizes your enemies! "

"What kind of stuff do you use!" Stop it right now! "

But she laughs at my words with her nose.

"Hah, I got it up and running!" You can't do such a stupid thing! "

"Because of that, I've done too much poison!" And you're going to involve us! "

"If you don't want to get involved, just run away. I will conquer the pilgrimage. Most likely, instead, my faction will be the mainstream of my God's teachings."

Damn, you're bringing factional strife to this place!

"Hahahahaha!?"

However, for some reason, she was very good at it, and she fell to the ground.

"Ah, ah...?"

What's the matter?

"I-I think my body's numb... moving..."

Could it be.....

Did you get poisoned too?

"Oh, silly!? I have precious high-end antidote magic items!?"

That said, the antidote magic items that she had taken out of her pocket in a hurry were shattered unscathed.

Ah, this is totally broken.

Probably because I kept absorbing too much poison up close?

"Ok, help me!!"

She asks us for help.

The palm of your hand is so pure.

Nevertheless, even if you are a colleague who believes in the same Mother Earth God, you cannot abandon her to the stone.

Well, I'll ask you to put on the kejime firmly later.

Then stop that magic item!

"Oh no! I don't know how to stop it!"

"Why did you use such a thing!"

No matter what, there's plenty of it!

"The ally sent from the top gave it to me!" Just by activating it, you can kick the other participants out. "

So that's the way it is.

No matter how much you were out of line, the stones didn't have enough sense of crisis!

Rather, I guess that's why they used it.

"Then at least throw it away!" I can't get anywhere near it! ”

I see!

My colleague tries to hurry up and throw the magic items away. There's no sign of throwing away a magic item just by swinging something. What the hell are you doing?

"Wait, get away from my hand!?"

Can you get your hands off me? Could that be!?

I mean, it's a curse item.

It was Lamy's who immediately noticed the cause.

But this has turned out to be a mess.

When it comes to cursed items, you need to use purification magic to do something about it.

But there's a problem using purification magic...

As he thought about it, his colleagues' complexions were getting worse and worse.

Looks like you're still breathing, but it won't last long.

I wonder if she belonged to a faction that didn't hesitate to use the strongest means?

What are you thinking about using something that would get your men involved in?

"Hey, after all, what are you gonna do about it?"

Roddy asks her if she's right or what to do with the magic items he has.

Now I'm trying to tell you whether to stop their employer or ignore them and move on.

"I can't just leave him alone." We have to do something to stop it. "

We can't allow the Holy Land to be poisoned any more!

"If that happens, the poison will get in the way even if it destroys it." Ramses, can you get the wind to him? "

"It's impossible. This poisonous fog seems to have the property of gathering around that treasure. Even if you pay with the wind, it will come back." That's why we're affected by the poison. And that's the source of the poisonous fog. It's not as fast as here. "

When it was too dangerous to approach Bao-yu, Lamyz waited.

This is embarrassing. Honestly, I was counting on Lamise's strength.

"By the way, you should destroy the curse items as a last resort." In the worst case, the curse that was condensed inside will flood out at once and become a catastrophe. "

That's right, isn't it? Not all of them, but some cursed items can be dangerous to get around when broken.

When that happens, do you release the curse with the purification magic? Can you do that, Foca? "

"I can't. To do the purification magic, I need to do it with several priests in a purified shrine." But this place is very...... and it's not a place to purify in that situation where there's too much poisonous fog. "

Physical cleansing is impossible, and destroying it would endanger us as well as the Holy Land.

What's the matter with you.....

"Hmm, if I were to do it, I would go out into the poisonous fog and freeze that magic item with ice magic." If you harden it with ice, you can't blow out the poisonous fog. "

You can do it!?

Asked by Lamyz, he nodded quietly.

"However, you can't freeze only items without scratching the owner." He's going to eat his collateral damage, too. "

"Well, you deserve it." If you use Foca's healing magic, only your life will be saved. ”

"That's right. If that's the only way..."

When we decided on our course, we immediately tried to get out of the poisonous fog, but for some reason Lamise didn't try to move the barrier.

"What's the matter, Lamy?"

"The density of the poisonous fog and the power gathered in the center is increasing." Guys, you don't seem to want to miss us. "

I don't know, that magic item got us trapped in a poisonous fog.

"Ugh, if you stay like this, you'll run out of magic power and be killed!"

If this happens, we'll have to destroy one or eight of them!

“That's why you're saying it's dangerous to destroy without purifying it!”

"But if we keep going like this, things will only get worse." Then you'll have to get close to that Bao-yu and destroy it as fast as you can. "

It was Roddy who tried to shake us off, but suddenly he put his hands on the ground and fell to the ground.

"What's the matter, Roddy... ugh!?"

Roddy wasn't the only one, Lissou, Lamise, and I felt dizzy and poked in the knee.

"What the hell is this..."

dizziness, palpitation, numbness.....

"No way, it's poisoned!? A, anchotte!"

I activated my detox magic immediately, but it didn't seem like my numbness was gone.

"The magic is not working!?"

In other words, this poisonous fog is so strong that it can't be decontaminated by my detoxification magic!?

Until now, I thought my magic would do something about it, but apparently, the poison was eating away at our bodies unnoticed.

"This is finally dangerous..."

If you can't escape or heal, there's nothing you can do.....

The dizziness grew worse and worse, and my body fell to the ground on its own.

I can't believe we were called S-Rank Adventurers when we were poisoned by our allies.....

It is also the most sacred place for those of us who serve God....

"High Area Antidote!!"

It was then, and all of a sudden, my numbness disappeared.

Huh?

Thank goodness, everyone seems to have made it.

Yeah?

When I raised my face to see what had happened, there was a familiar girl's face.

"You are certainly part of the Lord God's temple..."

This child is definitely a priest named Tracy who works in the Lord God Temple.....

“I'm here to help you. How are you feeling?"

"Huh, yeah. It's okay..."

Is this the girl who killed us? But this child hasn't been a priest in a long time. I didn't expect to be able to detoxify the poison of this poisonous fog.....

It's okay because Nolier-san is there to help you, too.

Norrie? Oh, it was definitely a pseudonym for Rex's pal's child...!?

"No way!?"

Happy with Tracy's words, I quickly look around and look for Norrie.

And I found it.

The figure of Norrie on her way to her fallen colleague.

Beside him, that Bao-yu was still releasing poison.....

"No! Run!"

It's suicide to approach that venomous poison without any countermeasures, no matter how many of Rex's people...? Why are you pinning it?

We were stained with venom even when we stretched the barrier from a distance.

Norie reached out to her fallen colleague.

"Oh, that's how bad it was." First of all, if we don't do something about this, it looks like we can't detoxify it. "

Even though the poisonous fog was being released right next to her, Noriega didn't seem to be feeling sick at all.

What the hell!?

“Let's purify. Hypurification!”

The moment Norrie activated some kind of magic, the black Baoyu was enveloped in light!

Then Baoyu made a pounding sound and split it in two, and it turned into ashes and disappeared.

"Ehhhhhhhh!?"

Lies!? I've purified the cursed items by myself!?

Without any assistance!?

Impossible!!

High anchovy!

To my surprise, Norrie uses detox magic on her fallen colleagues.

Is that a hyang-an dute? Perhaps the top detoxification magic of illusion!?

Can she use it!?

Then, my colleague's body, which had been motionless for a while, twitched and trembled.

"Uu, uuuu..."

And the coworker's eyes faintly opened.

Are you okay?

"Oh, you..."

"I am a member of the Temple of the Lord God."

"The Temple of the Lord God? Why would the Temple of the Lord God help me...!?"

It is only natural that she should wonder. After all, we are now rivals competing on a pilgrimage.

"If there are people in trouble, it's only natural to help them."

"N-No!? For such a reason!?"

Well then, let's go back to the trials.

After saving our lives, Noriega offered us her hand to resume the trial as if nothing had happened.

Santoy, priest of the gods of◆ war.◆

"Ugh, this is... again..."

We were in the midst of a sudden flame.

Fortunately, thanks to the defensive magic items, we'll be burned to death.

This is not the only place where anomalies occurred.

Something else was going on where the other temples were.

The anomaly made me angry at the moment that the other temples were stealing the Bao-yu they had.

It also involved the people who used it.

Hmm, it looks like you didn't use it and it was the right answer.

I stared at the Bao-yu I had hidden in my pocket.

Yes, I had the same treasure that the other temples used.

This magic item brought by the liaison with the superiors was a trump card that would ensure victory, but it looks suspicious in the light of the situation.

I didn't use it, I couldn't.

The little shard of pride that was left in me made me hesitate to rely on something like this in front of her.

But it's funny that while I'm hesitating to use it, it's being used by other people.

The red baubles that gave rise to this flame were the priests of the Yagami.

Looks like they've built a barrier to protect themselves, but don't keep it that way.

Trouble is, this flame doesn't work with the magic of ice or water.

It looked like I couldn't get out of the barrier.

But the barrier couldn't stop the heat of the flames either.

Perhaps our last chance is when the magic items we wore run out of magic power.

"Tch, so far..."

If you can't move, there's nothing you can do.

It's quite pathetic.

Come on, don't give up in this place.

That's when I heard an unbelievable voice.

"Oh, you!?"

"Hey, I see you again."

When I raised my face, there was Janet's face that had just broken up.

"Go, you idiot! Run!" I'll burn you to death! "

What the hell is he doing back here!?

"Don't worry about it." That's because I'm going to blow it up. "

"What, what!?"

Blow this flame off!? Are you insane?!

"Lilliella's sister, please stay here."

"Yes, yes."

Along with the words, a cool breeze blew through the hot burning field.

No, it's not the wind, it's cold air.

If you look at it, it was surrounded by a wall of ice.

I can't use healing magic, so please bear with the ice.

That was the other daughter who was with Janet at the main god's temple.

"What..."

Our daughter, called Liliera, protected us from the heat of fire with a thick wall of ice.

But I've heard of it.

When using opposing attribute magic where the power of a particular attribute is strong, it consumes a lot of focus and magic power.

But she did it with a cool face. On the contrary, it maintains the ice wall completely!?

"Hey, I'll take this one too." Something's burning in one hand, so heal it. "

With these words, a woman of good stature was thrown from outside the ice wall.

And the woman wore the costume of the priest of the night God, and her right arm was carbonized, and her hand was not shaped.

Is this the one who used the jade?

And fortunately for me, my arm turned to charcoal and I ran away from Bao-yu as close as I could.

However, despite the protection of magic items, my whole body was covered in severe burns because I was exposed to the flames for a long time.

Keep it that way for a long time.

"This is terrible." We'll have to use the potions to make it to the rendezvous. It was definitely Lex-san who gave it to me... oh, there was one. "

Potion? There's no way this burn can heal.

Well, it might help with some pain relief.

Noooo...

When Liliera sprinkled the potions onto the priest of the Night God, her body glowed thinly and her body burned cleanly.

"... hah!?"

Huh? Has it healed? That terrible burn potion!?

And the arms! Even the ones that were carbonized and collapsed!?

"Nh, nh, nh!?"

It was me who tried to find out what I was using, but Janet, who was outside the ice wall, rushed out and lost consciousness.

”Nah, I'm going to finish it off so suddenly!”

Janet rushed toward Baoyu, who kept blowing out the flames as she stood up with her sword.

Huh? A sword!? That girl is insane!?

The surrounding area of Baoyu was enveloped in tremendous flames, and it was obvious that he would burn to death before approaching the center of Baoyu.

Above all, you can't just be slashed with a sword!

"Burning Melt Sword!!"

Janet's sword was covered in a pale flame. But what does that mean?

Idiot! It's a magic flame against a flame!

While saying so, Janet bursts into the flames.

Oh, my God!

"Hehe, let's go!" My new special attack!! Burning melt impulse!! "

The blue flame overflowing from the sword enveloped Janet's body, and behind it, the flame swayed like a sun flame.

Janet's body literally flew forward.

Janet is no longer running on her own leg.

It was like being pulled by a pale, burning sword.

And incredibly, the pale flame was cutting through the surrounding flames.

And I pierced through the heart of the flame, Bao-yu.

But at that moment, a great heat and flames spurted out from Bao-yu.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

What an incredible flame!

This amount of heat still feels inside the wall of ice!

"Hah! Little girl!!"

If you're feeling this heat here, what about Janet at the center?

"Little girl! Little girl! Eek!!"

This can't be happening!

We are the only ones who have stepped out of the way, and there must be no sacrifice for that friendly little girl!!

It's okay.

Lilliella tells me that she is trying to stop her little girl in a hurry while maintaining the magic of the ice.

"I'll take care of her." After all, the flame is her number 18. "

Do something about it!? How?

But unexpectedly, instead of going to help Janet, I couldn't even move from here, so I had to wait for the raging flames to subside.

And after a long time, when the flames finally subsided, Lilliera wiped out the ice wall.

This is terrible, isn't it?

As the saying goes, the place of trial was terrible.

The surroundings were burnt, and of course Janet was not there.

They must have been caught in the flames and burned to the ground.

Not even a single piece of bone is left.

As if to prove it, there was a pure white circle in the place that was the center of the flame.

Hmm? Yen?

What's that circle? Why is there such a thing in a bursting flame?

At the same time, I heard something strange.

HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!

"Hey, what the hell!?"

Earth smoke stood right where the white circle was.

"By the way, you're stupid..."

The girl was there, Janet.

I mean, I didn't think I'd blow up.

"Hey, hey, little girl!!"

I can't help but run under Janet.

"Hmm? Oh, it looks like you were safe, too."

"I don't know if I was safe!" What the hell happened!? What did you do!? Why are you safe?! "

I question Janet out of control.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Stop,

Janet looks around as she does so.

"Oh, let's see how well the flame went out." That's exactly what my brother and sister taught me! "

Have you been taught?

"Oh, I asked my sister." Anyway, to extinguish the flame, you just have to burn down the whole source of the flame by creating a larger flame. "

"Oh, that's not true...!?"

Put out the flame? Can you do that!?

Besides, what's the point of jumping into Bao-yu's flame and not burning his hair!?

"To the extent that it does, that white circle is the remnant of your super-hot space."

"Oh no! It's a technique to lock a fiery flame into a tiny space and squeeze it in to make it super hot!" Well, that recoil blew me right up! "

Hey, what's with that move!? I've never heard of such a technique!

And who the hell taught you that skill!?

"Anyway, the fire has been extinguished!" Let's resume the trial. "

Despite what she did, Janet tries to return to the challenge as if nothing had happened.

"Wait! Why did you help us...?"

I questioned Janet's actions, which were too confusing.

But Janet said this with a strange look on her face.

Nnh, there were people in trouble, so I decided to come and save them.

"Oh no!? That's why...?"

I came to help you because you were in trouble!? Without even looking at your personal dangers!?

Then we'll go. You still can't do it, right?

Having said that, Janet rushed out.

”Fufu, fufu... you can't beat an idiot”

The second time, my back was so dazzling that I couldn't even look straight at it.....
