Chapter 451 – The Holy Sword and the Arena (22)

#

Ariel flinched once as if he had been attacked unexpectedly, but soon opened his mouth with his characteristic expressionless expression.

“I also have a clear memory up to the corridor, but after that it is vague. When I opened my eyes, I was here. But she did not hallucinate that she was bathing in gold coins. What I saw, hmm.”

Ariel said, rolling her eyes upward as if to jog her memory.

“Okay. It was something I would be able to do when my magical abilities improved.”

“Huh… For example?”

Yuri pressed her face against Ariel, unnervingly.

“Huh? For example?”

“Uh, um. For example, yes. Like using the powerful magic he showed me earlier…”

Ariel had no expression, but she couldn’t make eye contact with Yuri and she was wandering her gaze from place to place.

This guy, as I’ve felt before, is an expressionless one-tool. She can’t hide her feelings at all. Anyone can see that there are kangies!

“I heard you can guess the identity of the monster only if you know what you saw? Is that all there is to it? What is it specifically?”

Yuri was tenacious. He said that he would die because it would be unfair for only him to suffer shame. Finally, Ariel said with the tips of his ears red.

“Kuh…Possibility of promoting physical development or something…”

“Physical growth? Exactly?”

“Ugh, well, to be precise… Phew, the size of the chest increases… Isn’t that enough!”

Ariel finally stopped screaming at her.

“Huh, heh. That’s right. Enlarging your breasts, you must have wanted to do something like that?”

“Oh, that can’t be! It’s just a hallucination that the monster gave at will! That’s not what I wanted!”

“Yeah, let’s say that.”

Yuri seemed to be laughing so hard that no one would believe him at all.

But she said now she wouldn’t be the time to laugh. If I hold you to the same standard, all you’ve always wanted to do is fuck my ass… I can’t. When I go back to the mansion, I’ll have to scold him so he doesn’t think of that again.

Did you notice my eyes? Yuri suddenly jerked her head and bent at me.

“What did you see, brother?”

An arrow coming back to me from here?

“Uh, um.”

To say that? You saw a hallucination where I grew tentacles and raped every woman in the world?

“I, I am nothing…”

Do not lie. You can see it just by looking at your attitude.

“Kuh…”

Ariel added to Yuri’s words.

Shouldn’t you be able to infer the identity of the monster if you tell me what you saw? Just say it If you’ve seen something similar to ours, it’s probably pretty far-fetched.

Hmm. It’s quite calm and seems like a valid logic, but his eyes are intense. Aren’t you just trying to get me to join you because you’re ashamed of being the only one?

“So, how is it?”

“Speak quickly.”

The two shook their heads as if they couldn’t just gloss over and move on. In the end I could only tell what I had seen in my hallucinations. Of course, I omitted a lot of it!

“…Wow.”

There were a lot of distortions and omissions, but even so, the eyes of the kids got a little worse.

“Really? Is it really that, to the extent that you want to have more sex…Sex even if you stretch out your body?”

“No, because I am not!”

“But I don’t think it was just a hallucination…”

I felt like crying. No, how hard I tried to dispel that ridiculous fantasy?! Besides, if you put it that way, this guy!

“Then you really want to pierce my ass too, huh?!”

“No, what are you talking about? Oh ho, oh ho ho.”

Yuri ran up to me and blocked his mouth. Oh ho ho, where the hell did you learn that stupid laugh?

“So, let’s say this human is like that, what about my sister?”

This time the arrow went back to Lenny. Such a blatant diversion of the topic. I’m too shy to say anything.

Yuri had a very interesting face, as if it wasn’t all about changing the topic, but Lenny just shook her head with her stiff face.

“I felt nothing but discomfort and… Pain. Even before I entered this space, something seemed to reject my divine power, but after the monster appeared, I felt as if the divine power inside me rebelled against it…”

“The divine power rebelled?”

“It’s hard to explain. It’s the first time I’ve felt like this…”

Seeing Lenny’s serious face, everyone shut her mouth.

After a while, Ariel spoke.

“…Right. I am convinced now.”

“Yeah, I think I know.”

#

“Now I am convinced.”

“Assurance? What are you sure of?”

“That…”

In response to Yuri’s question, Ariel slightly closed her eyes as if trying to organize her thoughts, then opened her mouth.

“I don’t know how, but it seems that the monster can give you the ability to make what you see in your hallucinations come true. I couldn’t understand why they set up a research facility in such an odd place, but it must have been because of that monster earlier.”

“What? How?”

Yuri’s words seemed completely unexpected. But I had already guessed.

Ariel looked around us and said.

“First, hallucinations themselves are a problem. Have you ever seen a monster that uses magic in a dungeon?”

It was.

Whether it’s a guild, a clan, or whatever, it was physical power that mattered when dealing with monsters, not tricks like hallucinations.

Ariel continued talking.

“Not only that. To see each of them show different hallucinations at the same time. It’s difficult even for a high-level wizard, but monsters do it? And above all, the content matters.”

Yuri tilted her head as if she didn’t understand.

“It was just nonsense, funny bullshit. What kind of abilities do monsters show like that…”

“Think about it. What was it about? What did the hallucinations we saw have in common?”

“…”

Yuri kept her mouth shut, but I seemed to know.

The words Yuri and Ariel said, and the scenes I saw. With a little thought, the answer was clear.

“That monster seems to stimulate some desire. Some secret desire you have inside.”

Ariel nodded at my answer.

“The monster read our minds. And it showed a hallucination that fits there.”
“
“Keck.

At Ariel’s words, Yuri made a sound as if something was stuck in her throat. Then he glances at me and spits out words.

“I-I don’t need any of that at all?”

“…!”

Hearing Yuri’s words, Ariel flinched, then looked at me as well and spoke quickly.

“Hmm, hmm. Of course, I’m not dissatisfied with my body either, but hmm. There is no such thing as complete satisfaction.”

Look at these guys You’re telling an obvious lie

I couldn’t even tackle it.

Because if I tackled it here, it would be like admitting that I have the desire to become a tentacle monster.

“…”

I fantasized about becoming a tentacle monster, but these guys at least covet my butt and grow some breasts? They didn’t tell you everything they saw. Are you sure.

“Hmm. Hmm. And.”

Ariel hardened her face, trying to catch her mood again.

“And… Did she feel that reality? It’s not just a hallucination. Don’t you know too?”

“…”

At the word reality, the atmosphere hardened again.

Yes. Realism was the problem.

We could all instinctively know.

I felt it when I faced the monster, but it wasn’t just a funny hallucination or displaying monster.

The welcome you showed me. There was a sense of reality that could not be described as just a delusion. The certainty that if I had given myself to the monster, I could have made the hallucination a reality. That conviction still held strong.

“…Then, what the hell is that?”

No one could answer Yuri’s words. All we can know is that it is an existence far beyond our ability. If the middle 2 hadn’t intervened in the middle, we’d probably be there…

“Heh, heh heh. That.”

“Eww?!”

I almost jumped at the sound of sudden low laughter.

I turned around and saw the second grader smiling with his nose raised. It was spread to a large size just a moment ago, but it seems to have recovered completely.

…No, judging from the fact that he was still holding his breath, did he just wake up because he wanted to intervene?

“Heh heh, that’s right.”

The second grader repeated the same words twice as if what he was saying was very important.

“It is a demon born from an alien darkness, and crossed a dimension. A great evil whose only purpose is destruction.”

“What…? Devil?”

It’s the devil A very random word came out. Looking back at Lenny, he notices that he doesn’t understand what he’s talking about.

“A devil, what exactly is that?”

“Hmm. I don’t know what exactly that is. This is the first time I’ve seen it myself. But don’t worry. As long as I have this body, that kind of thing…Sniff?”

Having said that, the second bottle suddenly frowned and pointed his head at Yuri.

“Sniff, I think there’s a strange smell coming from…”

“What?! “

At the words of the second grader, Yuri was taken aback.

“Did I wash properly? And since it’s a dungeon, that’s possible!”

“I’m talking about contamination, not the actual smell. I see signs.”

“What do you mean again?!”

Ariel, who was watching the two of them quarrel, said.

“I don’t know what you mean.”

“I agree.”

This guy has real abilities and he knows something, but he doesn’t know exactly. It feels like I’m repeating something I heard somewhere.

“Rather than that, what happened to the document you said you were recovering earlier? It would be quicker to see that way.”

“Heh, that much is nothing with this body’s ability.”

What are you doing with your equipment?

He didn’t bother to come out of his mouth. He had to look at the wad of paper he pulled out.

“Hmm…This is…”
