Episode 89: The Dark Line

"... ugh..."

"Ah, Mr. Rage. You've woken me up.

Um, are you okay?

Ling Ji opened her eyes and tried to see the one whose voice was uttered when she heard the groaning of her awakening.

It was not possible to foresee too well due to the dimness of the area, but it was nevertheless possible to barely discern the neat face of the blonde girl, the lord of the voice.

Of course, there is no inconvenience because I knew who it was with my voice even if I couldn't see my face.

Ling Ji, who was unconscious, apparently had Tena's knee resting on his pillow, and her face was just ahead of him. He's half hidden because of his inappropriate possessions, but not enough to be invisible.

There had been several times before when she was given a knee pillow, but Ling Ji woke up in a hurry with the same soft feeling.

"Uh, what about here?

Looking around to delude his reddish face, he recalls what happened before he passed out in a dark space that he could only slightly foresee by being illuminated by flames.

"Yes, indeed, fight the shadow golem that came out of the stone statue of the Dark God..."

Initially, Ling Ji and the others were fighting to defeat the Dark Beast Anbar, which emerged from the stone statue of the Dark God, but along the way I realized that the choice was an error.

And instead of trying to do damage, he tried to revive the Dark God from a petrified state by hitting his stone statue with an attack of Dark Attributes that heals the other way around.

The aim was right, and Anbar, the darkness god who had been petrified, was brilliantly resurrected... Ling Ji and the others were blown away and passed out in an attack that could be described as its eight hits.

I remember that. When he looked around again, apparently all the other members were already standing and working, waking up before him.

"Oh, is it finally happening?

Damn, let me take my time. "

"Because you blew it up in the first place."

"Chip, I know."

A grumpy voice can be thrown at Ling Ji who got up, but he got a scratch from the side and shut up.

Apparently he was frustrated that he was waking up late, but he had to shut up when he was stuck that it was the cause of that stun.

At that point, it was obvious who the person who came to voice was.

There was a slightly galloping, bad-looking young man with a red coat and long, thin green hair.

"Dark God, are you?"

"If you're a Demon, you're not my believer. I'm not asking you to be like me."

"Huh? Then, uh..."

I had the opportunity to exchange words with him even before he was dropped into this space, but at that time I didn't have the impression that there were other light gods, Sophia and Henri, who were also there, who had a head-on conversation.

Though at that time he had been absent while being flushed by the currents, I wonder in what manner he could come when he wanted to have a conversation alone again.

To Ling Ji, who called the boulders with honor that they should not be abandoned, the Dark God answered with his face as unnecessary.

Apparently, I didn't care for the kind of honor I was forced to take.

Nevertheless, it can be easily deduced by Ling Ji that the attitude of insulting him before the presence of Eligor and Miliers, the demons, would be awkward.

You blamed him for wondering what he called it, and the Dark God continues his words with one sigh of sigh that seems troublesome.

"It's Amber. Call it appropriate."

"Okay. Okay, Mr. Amber."

"... well fine"

He reluctantly decided to accept it, although it seemed like the only way he chose to call it as a compromise because it was no good to call it out or treat it like it was a compromise.

"Unfortunately, I heard a lot about the situation from the previous demon king."

"Really?

Let me now turn to the stand-alone question.

We need to get out of this space, and I need to get back into the world.

We must defeat the Lord who is creating this space.

Can you help me?

"Ha, not now."

Amber snorts Ling Ji's request.

It was originally about challenging true and evil gods at the request of three pillars, including him.

In the end, it was interrupted by enemy cross spears who had intervened earlier than expected, but there is no doubt that there is no alternative to working together and rewarding an arrow as early as possible to get here.

I couldn't help but say that he was now.

"Thank you!

By the way, I'd like to ask you one thing... "

"What? Say it."

"That's the plan I heard before the enemy intervened.

I was talking about giving me the power of the gods.

Can you do that now?

At Ling Ji's request, Anbar, the Dark God, gives him a serious look and stares at him head-on.

"If you can or can't, you can.

But a serious woman said that back then, didn't she?

"In a short time," we can embrace the power of the three pillars.

Conversely, it doesn't last long. Not in front of you.

We should do it near the showdown. "

"Can't you stand the 'power of the three pillars' for a long time?

So, how about a pillar?

"Ho?

To Ling Ji's rebuttal, the Dark God hoists a single eyebrow like it caught his interest.

"I see, even if you certainly can't stand the power of the three pillars.

Maybe I can handle it if I'm the only one.

But you have to try, don't you?

Is that why you're taking that risk?

"My powers are not enough now to try ahead.

So, please!

The battle against the Dark Giant Beast Amber could be cut through because it was possible to notice the hooking problems prepared by the true and evil gods.

But when I say how it was as a simple win or loss, I have to say I didn't see a win.

Physical attacks didn't go through, and magic didn't do any hectic damage.

If it means a lot of trouble, Ling Ji is one of the top drawers in that world.

No one takes a pull with sword moves, magic, skills, or the variety of powers they hold together.

But still, it was no match for the Dark Giant Beast.

The reason is extremely simple...... I simply didn't have enough "power".

Insufficient output.

Physical attacks that were nullified by not having an entity like a shadow were horns and magic could not pass because there was simply not enough firepower.

Most importantly, you would be denied saying this elsewhere: "It's odd that that's not enough output".

Ling Ji, of course, has other party members who are also at the top of the list in the world in their respective areas of expertise.

In fact, the magic attacks of that time had so much output that there was no more as a power that people could put out.

That didn't make sense for one reason, simply "they were bad" to the end of this.

Anyway, the opponent was created from the power of a pillar of the administrator who manages the world.

There's nothing you can do about it in people, because that's who you were "beyond people's knowledge".

But Ling Ji couldn't help but think that he couldn't win for a reason.

In the hierarchy that lies ahead, there is not always an enemy comparable to the Dark Beast Amber.

Instead, if you think about Sophia, the light god, and Henri, the evil god, who has been turned into a stone statue just like him, you can certainly expect two more to come out.

The Dark Beast was extinguished by revitalizing and reviving the stone statue of the Dark God that is at its core, but we cannot be optimistic that a similar means will be effective after this on the boulder.

"... ok, fine"

"Huh! Thank you!

Did Ling Ji's serious thoughts come through, Anbar, the dark god, gave it back with a little thought but an acknowledgement.

◆ ◆ ◆

"Well, you ready?

"Yes, sir"

Ling Ji was confronting Anbar, the dark god, as he looked worried, or watched with interest, about the faces of the party.

My torso is naked because I removed the lightweight armor that I had wrapped around until earlier and the inner part is also removed. Trousers are worn on boulders, so they are not completely naked.

The women stare at him with such shyness or indifference or cancer sight in their respective attitudes.

"Normally, if power is to be shared, it is in the form of protection to be a family member.

But what I'm giving you this time is fundamentally different. "

"Why can't you be a relative?

"A relative can only have one pillar of the Lord.

I have to eventually receive power from the three pillars. I can't use this method in front of me.

Besides, power as a family depends on the faith and years of the recipient.

I was forced to give it to Je in front of me, and it won't do much good. "

"I see."

What is new to my memory as someone who had strong power as a family is Imperial-Death, who confronted me just before the lowest level of the "Sanctuary of the Evil God".

He had tremendous power because of his long-standing faith in absolute faith - which is technically a mistake.

However, it is difficult to say that Ling Ji has a lot of faith in the three pillars and so on, and he can't be taking the time to do so.

For this reason, I had no choice but to convince myself of the Dark God's explanation that kinship would not allow me to gain great power.

"So what do you do?

"As an alternative, make a line"

"Line?"

"Oh, connect the lines with us to provide strength.

What's missing in front of you is the power itself.

If you can bribe it from anything else, you don't have the means to fight it now. "

"Okay, please."

To Amber's explanation, Ling Ji nodded with a serious look.

The Dark God's point that the output itself is insufficient is consistent with the problem he had in mind.

If you're going to supply it externally, wish or fulfill it.

"Come on."

The Dark God faces his palms around his chest and begins to gather magic there.

Though Miliers' small Flame-Marionette flame illuminates the area, this space, closed by darkness, does not turn into dim.

But a pitch-black sphere is created between the palms of the Dark God that is firmly foreseeable even in such darkness.

Even if it were a space with no flames and no vision at all, that would surely have been felt.

The color alone was the same pitch black as the surrounding area, but it was denser than the surrounding black.

When Amber turns his palm toward Ling Ji, the sphere floating in the air quietly advances toward him.

As he stared at it breathlessly, the sphere disappeared, trying to be sucked into the area around his chest.

"What happens after this - Gah!?"

"Mr. Rage!?"

His condition changes at that moment when Ling Ji, who strangely saw the sphere sucked into his own body, tries to ask the Dark God.

All of a sudden, he tried to hold the area around his chest and he suffered.

The others who watched around reveal their impatience.

"Don't talk, just breathe."

At Amber's direction, Ling Ji takes a deep breath while holding her chest.

"Think of the sphere you just gave me like a heart.

As blood flows through your veins, the magic you draw from it fills your body. "

Ling Ji closed her eyes and imagined that the sphere would become her own new organ, as instructed.

I already understand the magic that surrounds my body when I learn magic.

Considering that this time the newly obtained sphere of darkness was the pump and reservoir responsible for its flow, it sounded like something had fitted in.

As soon as that happened, a tremendous dark magic burst out of his whole body.

It was a fetus of power comparable to the magic that blew them away the other day when the Dark God was resurrected.

Assuming Ling Ji had done that before, he would have run out of power in no time.

But now he was powered from somewhere by the sphere, a new organ he had just accepted, and that was never-ending.

I can somehow guess that the source of that power is the incarnation of darkness that stands before me.

"The supply of power can be cut off from me, but now it's in front of me."

"Oh, I see."

Ling Ji put his hand on his chest again and hung on to dampen the force that circled from the sphere so as to drop the pulsing heart.

Within a few deep breaths, the dark magic that was gushing from his whole body became quiet and eventually stopped back to normal.

"Safe, you've been accepted.

If you use the power you're sending in from me now, you'll be able to produce a different kind of fire. "

"Oh, thank you!

Tena and Aurain, who received that the ritual had been successfully completed and watched worryingly, also rushed over.

As they approached him, they leaned their necks towards the figure.

"That, Mr. Rage. What's that chest pattern...?

"And even the color of my eyes"

His chest is engraved with a black pattern that is shaped like a reverse of the letter V, which was not supposed to have existed until earlier.

Also, the color of the eyes, which should have been the standard color as Japanese, was stained with crimson only on one side.

It wasn't there until just before, so I can't think of anything other than the effects of the ritual right now.

When I thought so and looked at the Dark God, I opened my mouth in pain of realizing his doubts.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, there's a part of me that changes my appearance somewhat.

Give it up. "

The complaint was kicked off just when it had to be accepted, and Ling Ji reluctantly gave up that reference.

When I go back to the original world, I just pray that it disappears.

After the ritual, the Atlandam line and the Dark God Amber rode the magic formation that had at some point risen where the stone statue was located and proceeded to the next hierarchy.
