Chapter 190 – Mission

000

A research facility in the basement of the crystal tower, Mercury, the control artificial spirit of the laboratory that sent Cleon’s party out, continues to grip the wall with his hands while staggering his body from the ground-shaking vibrations.

“Really… A body with a physical form is extremely uncomfortable…”

As before, if you can operate in the form of a halo of light that can float and move through the air, you will be able to control the laboratory regardless of earthquakes, waves or whirlwinds.

However, due to the strong stimulation, the connection between the body and the soul was so strong that he couldn’t help but click his tongue at the fact that he couldn’t separate his soul from this temporary body.

Cooong!

And the heavy vibration rang once again.

Unlike normal earthquakes, shocks that continued to reverberate through the ground occurred irregularly on the surface and were transmitted underground.

That is, it is not an earthquake.

On the welcome screen where you can observe the ground surface, two girls run across the ground, clashing their huge weapons as if dancing.

On one side, a huge white hammer wrapped in fancy decorations resembling angel wings.

At its tip, a magic circle made up of divine magic spreads out, and it was a weapon like an incarnation of purification capable of destroying all unclean beings it touched.

As if branding a heretic, each time he swung it, he wielded enough power to leave a magic circle pattern on the ground with just the shockwave.

The girl wielding it is also a crusader clad in pure white armor.

Even on the other side of the screen, I could feel her desperate efforts to defeat the enemy in front of her as her platinum hair fluttered.

Confronting her is her massive black greatsword her, which ultimately pursues the essence of her weapon while being rugged.

As if it didn’t need any fancy decorations or beauty, the huge greatsword made of black metal, like black iron, had a murderous mass just by looking at the width and length of its blade.

Besides, the ferocious torrent of magic that swirled around the Sword God was spewing out darkness, seeking victims.

A succubus wielding a sword with apparently physically inexplicable powers, fluttering her dark hair, sometimes flying through the sky and attacking the girl from mid-air.

The expression was cold, and though there seemed to be no emotion in her eyes, she seemed more laid back than the hammer-wielding girl.

When the weapons of the two collide, a powerful shock wave spreads around due to the repulsive action of the black magic and the divine magic.

The ground shakes, and the trees around it fall down in the aftermath.

The crystal structures in the village seemed to be cracking little by little.

“I don’t mind fighting, but I don’t want you to destroy the pylon. It’s necessary for the recovery and maintenance of the barrier.”

She knows that what she says will not reach them, but she speaks naturally to herself.

And then, all of a sudden, she realized that she had a habit of talking to herself.

“…Is this also an influence that has settled in this body? Really, it’s a troublesome body…”

Thanks to the five senses, the cold of the research facility, the anxiety about the darkness, and the discomfort of tinnitus, which I did not know in the days of the spirits, constantly attack my body.

With such an unstable being, it might be better to kill yourself and return to your astral form.

However-

“…”

There are things we know as being strongly connected to the living body.

Right away, all living beings live with anxiety.

The weakness of the body, the vanity of life, and the limited intelligence that cannot predict the unpredictable future.

He is always enduring the anxiety and fear of the uncertain reality that stems from such things attacking him.

Mercury thinks.

They have intervened in the world of humans through Adam and Eve from the back of history from the end of the primitive world to the present, following the will of Trismegistos.

They thought that was the meaning of their existence.

But, do they deserve it?

Obviously, the start may have been a creation they created.

Living for eons of time, I couldn’t understand the anxiety and agony they had because they didn’t have a body.

All that was entered was ‘the pleasure that can be obtained when academic advancement occurs’.

So, I was looking at humans and the world as materials for a kind of experiment.

“If I don’t get rid of that arrogance. I wonder if I can’t truly understand humanity… The maintenance of Trismegistos.”

After questioning himself with his habitual self-talk, Mercury’s gaze, which had stopped shaking, turned to one side of the laboratory. You find a cabinet that was neglected close to 5000 years ago.

If you turn the construction and redeployment of the defensive wall technique back to automatic, walk carefully and open the door in preparation for the vibration that will happen again.

It contained the clothes prepared for Tris Megistos and his assistants, which had been neatly preserved without leaving any traces of time by the laboratory’s management function.

From now on, if you have to live as a person, as a human being, you will need it.

Wearing a suitable sky blue sweater and jeans, and a white gown over it.

Looking at themselves in the mirror hanging on the wall of the room, their outfits were similar to those of the Creator and his assistants who were making them in the past.

Thinking that something was lacking, he rummaged through the cabinet a little more, and found the glasses that his master had kept in his past when his master died in front of him.

There was a sword in it, but if you coated it with magic power, you could see straight ahead regardless of that.

“It’s like imitating you. Tris Megistos.”

Saying so to the creator of the day, he turned his body and returned to the machine.

The important thing now is the girls fighting above – especially the ‘Dark Demon Clan’.

Probably a prototype archetype B-type female body created by one of the Eves it was sent to.

“…Why did the race change into demons. If we don’t find out about that part…And maybe Adam’s involvement in that too…”

After looking at the lab’s magic power generator for a while, I quickly start moving my fingers in front of the huge keyboard.

“Establish a new spell for restraint… Hold on until that happens. Pylon… And- Saint Princess.”

001

“…It’s troublesome…That hammer, that figure…And the overflowing divine magic power.”

While saying that, Lilim rotated his body around her and added magical claws to Pandora’s track.

Until now, what Lilim thought was a type of magic, strictly speaking, she was only drawing out and using Pandora’s power that had been trapped inside her.

However, regardless of that, Lilim’s power was her as a demon was something far beyond the realm of humans.

It is already a story of a racial gap.

Clearly, the Saint Princess is in a position closer to a transcendental being who has directly received power from a being that is like the will of the divine magical power called the Holy Spirit.

Even so, Amelia’s experience and growth her were still insufficient to overcome human limitations.

The level of hairy hair for the general public.

Raising it to the same level as a monster (devil) even forcibly was entirely due to Amelia’s power her as a saint princess-the backup of the divine magical power that can be received from the position of adversary of the devil.

However, it is the duty of Saint Princess to be the ‘Guardian of the Royal Road’.

Her pendant her, which can be said to be a storage device for her large-capacity divine mana her, accumulated her power drawn from the elemental cross energies of the royal road El Cerdo and bestowed it on her her.

Of course, if you start using your powers to fight high-ranking demons, the magical power stored in the pendant to maintain its output quickly dwindles.

Amelia herself was well aware of that.

“You… What the hell are you? Aren’t you a being created to stop runaway heroes…!? In a way, you’re also the protector of mankind-“

“Things like that. Things that don’t matter to me… My mission – ‘Cain’… ‘Cleon’. To connect with the previous life form and prosper the clan.”

Lilim’s unfeeling voice denies Amelia’s words her.

However, Amelia couldn’t help but frown at those words.

An illusion of the past that Mercury showed.

What the creators of the two wanted in it was to stop the divine magical power from turning into a weapon of war and destroying their fellow human beings.

Although the war started sooner than expected, it didn’t work out-

The meaning given to be born, this demon gave up too easily.

That too, for personal desire and twisted mission.

“As expected, you’re wrong…! I don’t mean to deny that it’s love…! But. If you hurt others in the process…! I’ll stop it!”

Tears welled up in Amelia’s eyes as she cried.

From the time she was born, she was deprived of all the happiness she had originally been able to enjoy.

I was locked up in a cage-like place where no one really approached me.

The reason why she, who was like her doll her, regained the meaning of her life her was because she had a ‘mission’given to her her.

Even though, the people of her kingdom her turn arrows of her hatred her against her.

If you say you have something to do, if it’s your duty to protect them.

If someone—Aurelia, like her mother her, needs power of her own.

Carrying a heavy hammer, wearing pure white armor, she did not hesitate to walk alone in the shadowy night of the royal capital.

Because that was what had to be done.

Amelia Chaldearis. Confined princess. Daughter of Lucius Chaldearis. Saint Princess.

There was only one thing left of her.

If she gave up even that, even her mission of her, she would have nothing left for herself.

“…”

She felt a tingle, something in her and down her shoulder her.

It was a feeling he had felt before, but now he had the imprint he had received from Cleon, and that was holding back its growth her.

So she, too, suppressed her pain and rushed at Lilim, brandishing her hammer her.

“Haaaaa!!”

When I raised my voice with emotion, the huge hammer and black greatsword collided head-on.

From each other’s magical organs, they constantly send conflicting black and white magical powers to cause them to collide.

Each time, a wave that vibrates the surroundings spreads out, and finally there was an emerald that could not stand it and began to collapse.

“My mission is to stop the demons…! If your ambitions become a threat to the world! I will do my best!”

“…Because the amount of mana possessed was reduced… Did it come out as a short-term match…”

Lilim’s arm her, which receives Amelia’s power her, was also slowly bending and losing her momentum.

Obviously, Lilim looked at the point of impact of the weapon coming closer to her with an expressionless expression, but Amelia saw it and felt her triumphant spirit in her.

Divine magic and dark magic act to oppose each other, but the purification effect of divine magic generally exceeds the rejection of black magic.

If magic power of the same level collides, the divine magic power will almost always overwhelm the black magic power.

It was for this reason that even priests who were originally far from fighting were able to win if their opponent was a devil with a body composed of black magic.

‘Just a little more…!’

As if triggered by the rage of her heart her, more divine magic is injected into the hammer she wields.

She herself did n’t know it, but in response to her desperation of her, not only her pendant of her but also the magic organ inside her of her were rapidly creating her canonized magic of her.

The naturally bursting waves only got bigger, and the crystal tower vibrated even louder.

Soon, Lilim’s Pandora’s sword, which could not withstand the overwhelming output, was slightly cracked.

Every time my heart beats, pounding, pumping, I pour my will into the torrent of magical power that pours out.

The cracks on the sword body only grew.

“…”

“Please…! With this…!”

The moment after Amelia cried out-

“Swallow it. 〈 Pandora 〉”

When Lilim, who still had n’t changed his expression her, said that, a storm of black magic burst out from between the cracks in the blade.

It took the form of the black beast itself and spread around Amelia’s body her, enveloping her completely.

“Kuh…! Why! The demonic sword is about to be destroyed that much, but the output can be increased…!?”

“Destruction…? You must be mistaken. You, this sword.”

Saying that, Lilim put her hand on Pandora’s blade-

The sword body with the cracks is shattered and scattered.

And – what Lilim was looking at – what he mistook for a sword god was the truth.

The true face of Pandora. That it was a physical seal orb given to suppress the blade of pure black magic.

“—Huh?”

Amelia uttered that voice without realizing it.

It had no choice but to do so, when the torrent of black magic that tried to engulf her body her completely spreads out, it creates a realm.

A small area that reduces the influence and power of all divine magic, including recovery magic and offensive exorcism magic.

[Dark Magic Realm]

In an instant, the aura of divine magic disappeared from Amelia’s body of hers, and it was n’t just her body of hers, but the armor and weapons that maintained their existence of hers with her magic of hers were no exception.

Kwajik!

A sound echoed from the great hammer.

The crack started where it met the sword and quickly spread to the entire hammer, swallowing up the pure white armor as well.

And-

With the sound of shattering glass, the power as a Saint Princess that covered her whole body her disappeared.

Her face her is colored with amazement and despair, and her beautiful body her is caught in a black turbid current.

“…With this, there is only one intruder. It’s gone.”

Even in the royal capital, Saint Princess was like a thorn in the eye that constantly hindered herself and Ishtal.

Not only that, but also her previous life her, Cleon, first came into contact with her body her and received an imprint.

Even the self from the previous life, the imprint she did n’t receive because her body was like a child.

Although, she said it was part of a plan to plant a small seed of darkness within her, she wasn’t without feelings of jealousy.

In any case- except for Amelia, who can fight with divine magic, the one who can stop him is the half-angel who is healing the reincarnation over there.

Although it seemed that she herself, her power control her was not working properly.

Then Pandora and himself would not be opponents.

The two of them fighting the flying monsters from above…

“Now, get rid of everyone here… ‘Cleon-sama’…”

When Lilim says so, he tries to turn her body away from her.

Bang! And she looked down at something grabbing her own wrist her.

Looking down, a slender girl’s arm and hand had come out of the darkness and were holding Lilim’s wrist her.

“…Shall I cut it off. This arm.”

Maybe she was annoyed that she would never let go of herself, although she said it as if she were intimidated.

If Lilim tries to wield Pandora once again-

[It held up well. Saint Princess. Now, the barrier has been reactivated.]

In the next moment, the pylon itself created a wave-like wave and developed an invisible wall around it.

The wall gradually widened and spread throughout the canyon, covering the entire village.

“…”

When Lilim confirmed the sudden voice and the re-activation of her barrier, she turned her head-

Suddenly, she felt the dark magic power that had been manifesting and devouring her Amelia weakening.

Of course, so did Pandora.

“This is.”

Lilim is no less embarrassed and staggers her body.

She, too, was reincarnated as a demon.

It was no exaggeration to say that her body was made of black magic.

[Output enough to artificially create a realm of dark magic. It was interesting. However, you didn’t seem to know that the opposite concept of the realm of dark magic exists.]

“…The opposite…?”

As Mercury’s voice rings out, Lilim looks down in disbelief at her own fading power of her.

[Okay. It would be appropriate to call it the opposite of the realm of black magic – the realm of divine magic. But people use different terms. It’s called ‘Sanctuary’.]

The newly opened barrier had a thicker mix of divine magic than the previous barrier.

If the realm of dark magic is to spread high-concentration dark magic wide and contain things that use divine magic within it.

Sanctuary is the complete opposite concept. With divine magic, it is to contain and weaken things that use black magic.

In this, not only the power of recovery magic, but also divine magic becomes stronger.

[And this is the end.]

The next moment, a magic circle unfolds at the tip of the pylon, and the new restraining spell, completed only to restrain Lilim, extends in the form of a chain and flies to Lilim.

Lilim tries to escape from it by spreading her wings and flying at high speed.

However-

“A foot-binding shower!”

“Infernal Chain!”

When Sasha and Laila, who quickly returned to the ground due to the regeneration of the barrier, use the restraint-type technology at the same time, a momentary deceleration is made to avoid it-

“Angels Prison…!”

Quon reached out and created a prison made of divine magic around Lilim, who had stopped.

Of course, you could swing Pandora and break it, but if you get caught up there. Was to follow.

“Lilim!!!”

Without any strength of her own her, she jumped and jumped with only her own strength, which she had.

Then, he grabbed Lilim’s legs of her and greatly upset her balance.

“Amel…Lea…!!”

The moment after Lilim called her name her with her anger her.

Lilim’s body her, her chain her penetrated.

[A restraint spell for the great devil. Metatron!]

As Mercury’s voice echoed, the chains turned into 12 pairs of gigantic wings that completely wrapped around Lilim’s body in her.

And, just like when Lilim was saved by Cain, her body is fixed in a huge ice-like blue crystal.

“Clue, Leon… Sir…”

She stretched out her hand and shouted at Cleon, who was lying on the ground, but-

Without that voice reaching him, Lilim was sealed on the spot by divine magic.

Losing Lilim’s support, Pandora’s body falls to the ground, left to her gravity.

And- Cleon opened his eyes almost at the same time.
