Chapter 350 – Permission

000

The magic power flowing through the air made a slight vibration.

The distortion of magical power created by the influence of distorting space and dimension is transmitted to the goddess of death, the ruler of the realm.

When the eyes of the goddess who had faintly lost her mind slowly opened, she felt a headache from the number of unfamiliar signs she felt.

Only after blocking the senses from the distracting thoughts they emit and the shaking of the unstoppable realm, the normal five senses return.

‘The aisle… Is already closed. The only thing that can open the passage to this place is the ‘World Tree’.’

Then, it must be his colleague who came to retrieve Cleon.

In a headache that won’t go away, she snaps her fingers after checking the mess around her.

The chairs in the cathedral, which were randomly scattered, return to their original positions as if time went back, and as the broken parts are restored, order returns to the chaotic landscape.

Then, raising her body her, her eyes her turned to the back of the throne she was sitting on.

There, of course, is the gigantic inverted cross that she has devoted all her strength to protecting her since becoming her goddess.

And, the ugly flesh wriggling like a parasite on that inverted cross.

There was no change in the way they were gathered, but now there was a female warrior clad in black armor, holding back the growth of the flesh of the inverted cross with her sword drawn.

When her and her goddess eyes meet-she speaks with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

“Sleepy Goddess. You’ve finally opened your eyes.”

“…Durahan? Why did you… No, more than that, you would have ordered the Lich and the Death Knight to ‘burial’…”

There are no undead outside of the goddess’ family in this realm, but she is a bit special.

Dyurahan is an existence between the spirits and the undead, so the goddess ‘forced mind control does not work, and because of that, her memories and self from her life are still retained to some extent.

Hundreds of years since this realm was created, originally, she would have been unacceptable in the realm of her immutability and eternity of her, but I forgave her because the power she possesses her becomes her ‘substitute for herself’.

The goddess felt impatient with the ego of the Lich and Death Knight, who had recently become stronger.

In addition to that, I wanted to avoid the fact that her durahan her had her her past memories her being passed on to the two of her her, so I cut her off by weighing the balance in her head and the stability of her realm her. She has made a judgment.

“I dug up the ground.”

“…Two disobeyed my order- no, the lich’s side…”

The goddess of death shows no great agitation, she simply draws a silver rapier from her own waist her.

If the two of them say they haven’t done their part, it’s up to them to figure it out.

“As expected, it was my mistake that I forgot you for a long time.”

“It hurts. To hear such a thing.”

And then, a silver flash that swung around.

A single thin ray of light that seems to tear through the space.

However, the light bounces off as it is blocked by an invisible wall.

“…”

Her goddess her eyebrows twitch, and when Dyurahan raises the corners of her mouth, the goddess recognizes the barriers her Dullahhan has spread to protect her own body her.

“A barrier created by divine magic…”

A barrier made of magical energy that contains the concept of life as opposed to the magical energy that maintains the entire realm.

Since it was a power that was in conflict with the power of the Goddess of Death, it was annoying to be able to ignore the relationship between the upper and lower powers to some extent.

“Either way, I’m helping the goddess.”

“It’s my job to get rid of that flesh. I don’t need your help.”

To her emotionless words of her, Dyurahan shook her head and replied.

“The growth of the flesh can no longer be stopped by the power of the Goddess alone. The boiling crucible, which has been suppressed for a long time, is now about to break the lid and come out.”

“…”

As the goddess listens to her words, she quietly lowers her rapier.

“Goddess, I think she’s been doing well by herself for a long time. But suppressing her isn’t enough. We have to get rid of her.”

“What are you planning to do?”

“It’s a rebellion against the goddess. It’s to end this imperfect, makeshift world and free all the souls that were bound to it.”

The next moment, when I thought that the red eyes of the goddess were shining, several lumps of black magic appeared and scratched at her barrier at random.

However, the barrier made the strength stronger and withstood the attack, and Dyurahan continued to speak.

“If this world hadn’t been created, the souls of the dead inhabitants and your companions would have forever hovered in the rift of the other dimension, corrupted and polluted by that magic, and turned into mindless monsters…”

Her ceremonial sword her, which she holds in her hand, glows strongly with her divine magic her, protecting her master’s body her from the enchanting power of the goddess that surrounds her.

The mana she had accumulated for hundreds of years, on this day, for this moment, was doing its job in her.

“But. Being undead, with no self, no memory, and forever existing in the unchanging world is also another form of hell. Since we are ready to release them, the time has come to let them go.”

“This world will not change. Forever… Forever. It is unacceptable for this realm to disappear.”

When her obsession with her realm her, which is close to the madness of her goddess, is revealed, Dyurahan questions her.

“Why?”

“—Why, say?”

To Dyurahan’s question, the goddess could not give a proper answer and just kept repeating the question in her mouth.

“With your memories sealed to yourself, without knowing what you’re suppressing. And obsessing over it without even remembering why this realm was created, it’s because you feel embarrassed that you couldn’t protect everyone and endangered your comrades… So, this time, the contradiction of a goddess who cut off everything else and threw it away in order to protect what she had to protect.”

“…”

After Dyurahan’s words her, Illennu, the goddess of death, takes her step backwards, placing her hands on her throne her to support her body her from about to fall.

Her forgotten headache weighed heavily on her head once again, and she could see the shaking of her mana flowing out of her.

Then, her shadow shuddered, and a figure resembling black mud stood up from there.

Dyurahan saw her shadow her and opened her eyes a little wide, and she looked at ‘him’ with a bitter face.

“… You’ve been there. For hundreds of years, by her side of her.”

[…

The shadow doesn’t answer.

It was just to look at her Dyurahan while supporting the body of the goddess who suffered as if she was about to collapse.

Dyurahan, who could no longer move or speak, turned her gaze away from the flesh that began to swell and gradually take on a human form-

Concentrate on suppressing Alexios’ body.

Even if you annihilate Alexios in an incomplete state, it is impossible to completely eliminate him from this world.

To buy that time until everything is ready.

Dyurahan was prepared to use all of his remaining magic power of his.

001

Considering the number of people in the entire party that arrived, it was impossible to get everyone together and talk in the cramped old cabin.

In the end, the party come out of the cabin and face each other.

Lich, Death Knight, and Banshee, a combination of undead that cannot be underestimated-

Amelia’s party, where the last surviving beings from each world gathered.

While each side with a strong personality was looking at each other curiously, Cleon explained the situation to the party in the meantime.

“I see… Is Yggdrasil-nim worried about the monster the goddess is sealing?”

Freya nods her head knowingly.

“Yes. If the monster fully awakens and absorbs the power of the goddess… It might become more dangerous than the Thunderlord and try to absorb the entire realm of exile.”

“If that happens, that being will become a top predator and escape this realm… That it could pose a threat to the world we originally lived in, right? Mr. Cleon.”

At Cassius’ words, Cleon nodded.

The way to get out of the banishment area is to use a huge amount of mana to forcefully twist and open the door to escape.

If not… To become an existence that transcends even the realm of banishment by consuming countless souls and mana, and becoming a ‘predator’ capable of devouring other worlds.

“We have to stop that much…!”

At Amelia’s words, Gray clenched her fist and nodded her head.

“Well, I don’t care as long as I can fight hotly. If it’s dangerous enough to devour the entire realm, it’s rather welcome.”

Moose, who has always been thirsty for battle, burns his will to fight.

“And, if we are to survive, we must stop that monster, huh… “

Sif heard Cleon’s words and put his hand on his waist as if he understood.

[If Cleon-sama wants it, I will fight no matter who the opponent is. I’ll use these proud tongs to make huge scars on any monster’s body.]

In a sense, when Utgart, the most trustworthy person, burns his fighting spirit his, Peruluca quietly looks at the party’s resolution and opens his mouth.

“I-over there…”

“What’s wrong? Peruluca.”

As if Cleon had read the anxiety or worry in her expression her, when he turned his gaze to her, the gaze of the entire party naturally turned to her.

Peru Luca talked about the situation, shrinking her body a little.

“…When the battle is over, Mr. Cleon, the princess… Gray… And the wise man return to their original world, right?”

“…That’s how it will be.”

When Peru Luca heard that, too, as if she could n’t stand it any longer, she stepped her foot her in front of her and raised her voice.

“Are you breaking up with us?”

“…”

Between the party, a heavy silence flows.

As for Cleon, his mouth her was blocked as if he had never thought about it too deeply.

Come to think of it, Sif, Utgart, and Moose and Peruluca.

These four were lost to their original realm by the Thunder Lord and had no place to return to.

If they went to the realm of Yggdrasil that was friendly to them, they could prosper, but no one knew how long the existence of aliens could be tolerated in that realm.

“──To go to our world together…”

“No, Amelia.”

Amelia was about to speak when Cassius interrupted her.

When both Amelia and Gray looked back at Cassius’ unexpected decision, Cassius was talking to Amelia with a serious expression different from before.

“Unfortunately, these are alien beings even in our world. … It is bound to cause another chaos.”

At Cassius’ words, Sif let out a sigh and smiled wryly.

Dark elves, who are said to have been cursed by dragons, are a race specializing in cursing others using black magic and witchcraft.

They were hostile to the elves, who didn’t interact that much with humans anymore, but even humans, there weren’t many people who had good feelings for them.

The Utgart is a man-eating insect whose roots and nature specialize in cannibalism.

Although it is possible to refrain from that cannibal urge with natural intellect and reason, no one knows if it can be maintained even in the world of Cleon, which is full of humans.

Also, the gigantic body was enough to give people a sense of intimidation and fear.

Peruluca’s body is inhabited by ‘Aleista’, an evil sorceress who tried to rule over mankind.

Also, how much chaos would it cause if her book of the law that she possesses falls into the hands of someone else.

Moose is a dangerous warrior whose existence itself is unstable, intermediate between the flame spirit and the undead, and whose only instinct is to fight.

Even if we stood together on the battlefield as her allies her, we could n’t leave her so unstable that she would n’t know when to go berserk in a kingdom or a continent full of her people her.

Even though they are now joining forces, and there is no problem with their personalities and ways of being, their roots are exiled beings.

Cassius could not understand the methods of the Exiled Church, and he could not tolerate their work.

Still, they are dangerous, and considering the aftermath of their crossing into their world…

Even if it was cruel, it was for everyone to part with them here.

“Cleon. If it’s you, you’ll understand.”

Cassius said that while looking at Cleon.

The most reasonable decision here is an adult like yourself.

Cassius thought it was Cleon who understood their danger better than anyone else.

Cleon had no choice but to shut his mouth at his words her and clenched his fists.

Cassius’ judgment was certainly not wrong.

He was convinced by his words of her and he could n’t deny that he was.

However, if they remain here – in the banal banishment area.

In the end, what awaited them was extinction due to disharmony with the realm that would come soon.

That’s why, when Cleon tried to kill the voice of the ‘monster of rationality’ within himself and open his mouth.

“Ah~ah~. Then, is this the last adventure?”

Sif opened her mouth first, blocking Cleon’s words from her.

[Before he died, he was able to see Cleon himself. Even if I perish like this, I have no time.]

“It doesn’t shake, Utgart.”

[Na Utgart. The wick is as straight as this proud horn.]

“No, you’re a stag beetle, so your horns are bent.”

Sif laughed while talking like always.

Then, he talks while looking at Cleon and Amelia.

“There’s no need to worry too much about it. Originally, we were meant to disappear together when the realm was destroyed. Being able to use that life for someone else is important, isn’t it?”

“Sif…”

Amelia clenched her fist at Sif’s words, and Cassius only turned his head away from the guilt that Cassius had hidden under his rational judgment.

The destruction of their realm was because he had aided the Thunder Lord.

“…Yes. Yes, yes…”

Peru Luca also nodded her head in agreement and put strength into her arm her holding the book of law in her arms her.

“I’ll do my best!”

Having already heard from Cleon that Luca in Peru was the focal point of the operation, she raised her head and looked at Cleon with barely any motivation.

“…”

As for what to encourage Cleon to say to them, he could not come up with an answer within himself.

That’s why I just turned around because it was painful to see their faces.

However, there was not much time left for them to be immersed in sentimentality.

In the next moment, a great magical pressure was felt from the side of the cathedral.

“The thing just…!”

When Lila raised her voice, the Death Knight closed her eyes to focus her attention on her, then raised her voice.

“The goddess’s magical power… Mixed with another, impure magical power… Could it be that the monster is already…!?”

“…Let’s hurry up. First of all, we have to solve the problem in front of us.”

With Cleon’s words, the party moved their feet.

The destination was the cathedral where the throne of the goddess was located.
