Chapter 341 – Recognized by the Evil God

Nidhogg stopped at some point on the outskirts of the Great Forest.

When he came out, a much more serious situation was unfolding than what Milone had told him.

“I’ll turn.”
“Mother World Tree…”
“… Already like this?”

Apparently, the ugly army of prosperous landed at a place a little farther than where it is staying.

When we came out, what greeted us was not a recording full of vitality unique to Daesurim.

Leaves dried and twisted like fallen leaves while embracing green, tree trunks that cracked and broke when struck.

The big tree is this much, but what about the others?

The small grasses were crumbled like sand, and the animals that had grown bizarrely gigantic thanks to the life force of the Great Forest shrank, leaving only bones and skins.

A strange sight, as if the energy of the whole forest had been sucked by someone.

“We’ve already expanded this far… ?”

Yes. This is the aftermath of the elemental absorption carried out by the ugly army of prosperity.

It’s usually an ability that the Yinma family often uses, but even other races can do similar things if they receive the power related to the ugly prosperity.

“The speed of expansion is faster than I thought, Master.”

“… No. This did not come naturally as the army expanded. It sounds like you passed through here a long time ago.”

It would be easy to think of sheep and pastures.

What would happen if the sheep grazed in only one place? All the grass in the area will disappear, and eventually the sheep will starve to death.

So the shepherds always periodically shift the position of the sheep. We have to keep looking for grass to graze on.

“The same goes for the army of ugly prosperity. Keep moving along the place where there is energy to absorb, where you can satisfy your sexual desire.”

So when I sat still and heard the news that they were gathering forces, I thought it was because they weren’t ready yet.

When the scale is small, you can survive by using people who have been kidnapped from somewhere as portable libido processors.

But when it comes to scale, that’s not enough. That’s why you have to keep moving.

It is because of this characteristic that it is called a kind of snowball.

Their strength is weak when they are scattered, and they hide or run away if necessary, but… When they grow in size, they destroy continents like a runaway locomotive that never stops.

“Did the scouts post false information… ?”

“It won’t be.”

At my murmur, Cardinal Tumilla shook his head.

“The Prime Minister is indeed a sensitive person, so it is a rule to cross over various information several times. Planting a scout or two as spies would be hard to avoid that paranoid suspicion.”

In H&A, as a cardinal of circulating life, the high elves who inherited the blood of God were very sacred, and on the contrary, I came out as a role that looked down on the chancellor who took away the rights of the high elves.

That’s why I was at odds with Milone… Conversely, it is said that he is also a person who knows Milone that well.

Maybe that’s right

“Then there is only one answer. That all scouts were deceived. There is no other way.”

“… A seething silence.”

She whispered, Carla, who had already been burned once, murmured.

“That’s right. Perhaps the seething silence did something. There’s not much you can do for a guy who has lost his apostle’s lumber and lost his body’s power too much, right? For instance… It must be to the extent of getting revenge on other evil spirits.”

At my words, Helena let out a sigh as well, wondering if there were any clues.

“Even when she invaded Solaris, she used her powers to deceive the perceptions of her surroundings,” She said. She evacuated all the residents of the nearby village, so it would only have to fool the eyes of a few scouts.”

“Tsk. I don’t know if they knew we were going to attack first, or if we were just trying to sneak in, but it’s not a hopeless situation. Look. This leaf. It looks like it will break if you touch it a little… It’s still not brown like fallen leaves, but green, right? This means that it has not been long since he died due to regular absorption.”

“Rather, it means we can hit them in the back.”

“If only I knew the right direction. Iris? Is wide-range search magic possible?”

Iris, who was looking at the withered grove with a hopeless expression, came to her senses at my voice and nodded.

“You can do it. However, extensive search consumes a lot of mana, and the intense mana waves will be perceived by the opponent. In that case, it should be seen that the surprise attack is over the water.”

“Write. Still, where is it possible? It’s better than taking the wrong direction and wandering around and missing it. Then please…”

“Yeah…”

The moment I was about to ask Iris for wide-range search magic. Among the elves, one of the few beastmen raised a hand.

A man from the Xijok (鼠族) who looks weak for a Beastman tribe with a generally strong impression. He continued, flapping his large mouse ears.

“I know how to handle animals. How about asking Lucci to look it up in the sky?”

“Lucci?”

“Ah, my friend. It’s a dove.”

Saying that, he proudly lifts the cage attached to his waist.

Inside the ornate gilded cage, a dove with dim eyes sat. If you look closely, you can see that magic light shimmers around her eyes.

… Didn’t you say you were friends?

It’s not familiar magic, but brainwashing magic.

But. It must be that the Beasts aren’t sane at the point of becoming wizards.

Anyway, I was certain that looking up from the sky would be helpful, so I nodded.

“Let’s try it. That… Lucci? I’ll leave it to the boy named, and if that doesn’t work, then I’ll use a wide range search magic.”

“Yes, yes!”

Heehee laughed out loud and took out a pigeon from the cage and whispered something.

Every time that happens, the magic light that grows stronger and the focus quickly blurs in inverse proportion to it. In the end, when the pigeon’s eyes change to those of a doll, he sends the pigeon away.

Looking at it now, one of his eyes was shimmering the same color as the magic light I had just seen.

It must be some kind of vision-sharing magic.

The dove, which had been flying around the sky like that, suddenly stopped at some point and started coming back this way at high speed.

“Tea, I found it.”

“Where are you?”

“There… 5 minutes to go there… No, the other side is also moving, so it will take a little longer. Anyway, it’s that way.”

Saying so, he extends his finger and points in one direction.

“The direction has been set.”

***

Even at the same level, the mobility of a middle-ranking wizard and an auror user is the difference between heaven and earth.

Unless you’ve learned teleport, it’s usually much faster to use Aura.

However, if you ask the wizards if there is no way, then that is not the case either.

I, who was overflowing with one mana, cast a few auxiliary spells, and Helena gave her a blessing, so the wizards were able to run at a decent speed.

And the green back of the head that I found shortly thereafter.

At the very end, he found a goblin walking erratically.

As I said before, the wizards and priests secretly prepared the most powerful shot.

The knight shed his sword and was ready to attack at any time.

And the moment you want to send a signal at the right time.

“What is this… !”

Numerous senses of incongruity suddenly caught in the cultist detection feature.

“Shoot at once! Knights, don’t go out with me and be alert!”

According to my cry, colorful magic and sacred arts cross the sky.

At the same time, blurry figures rushing from all sides.

These are the Assassins of the Seething Silence that have been besieging us for some reason.

Explosions and screams erupting from behind. Then, ignoring the heat that prickled his skin, he focused on the sensations the cultist detection provided.

“Annoying bastards!”

Two assassins approaching quickly. I cast Shining Ray at the head of one of them.

Although the power was weakened due to the use of an incantation spear, the fact that it is an intermediate level magic does not change.

It was said that an assassin who looked like a bishop at best was an attack that could not be avoided or prevented.

Fuck!

He manages to twist his neck, but in the end, half of his head is blown off and he rolls on the ground at the same speed as he was running.

The other just hit me with a new staff as soon as I approached.

Caang!

A body that doesn’t get pushed by quite a few knights, and overlapping buffs. And the staff, whose impact was maximized by the strengthening magic, sent the guy flying with a clear sound.

The one who flies like a kite with a string cut off and falls down.

What? Why are you so weak

I looked around and saw that others were in the same situation.

Surprised by the suddenly protruding assassins, he gritted his teeth and swung his weapon… A look of bewilderment at those who fall down more vainly than expected.

But soon after, I was able to understand their intentions from the myriad signs coming from the front.

It was just a throwaway card to prevent a surprise attack.

The ally’s magic obviously dealt a significant blow to the ugly prosperous army.

However, the knights who had to stir up the inside couldn’t fulfill their role because they were paying attention to the assassin.

Because of that, it became a simple frontal battle rather than a melee.

I have to wait for reinforcements to come in a few days anyway, so I fight moderately here and then fall out. Rather than how much damage you do to the enemy, you should put more meaning in safety and delaying your steps.

The moment I tried to send a signal with such a meaning.

“?”

For some reason, the ugly prosperous army that is confronting us doesn’t move.

Guys who stand upright, put their hands between their legs and twist their bodies, but never come towards us.

While we stopped at the amazing sight in many ways. A cultist walked out between them.

An elf woman with long ears and a beautiful appearance. However, unlike an elf who values ​​chastity, she was wearing vulgar clothes that even a prostitute wouldn’t wear.

Even at this moment, the guy dripping juice from his legs and smacking his lips was a familiar face to me.

Poor Mariel.

An ugly Archbishop of Prosperity and a mini-boss that you meet with a random chance while walking around Changgwan.

She wasn’t very strong, but she was a tricky guy to meet in an unprepared situation.

That said, it’s not a big threat right now.

I don’t know what the Archbishop is trying to do, but it seems clear that he has an intention anyway.

I gathered her mana, thinking that there was no need to hang out there. I tried to retreat after blowing it up like this.

Guung-

One step ahead of that, change happened.

The ugly aura of prosperity spread thickly over the surrounding area. I hurriedly cast magic, but it was blocked by a thick curtain of divine power and disappeared in vain. Not just my magic, but everyone else’s magic.

“Under.”

Even at an intermediate level of magic, so easily? In a situation where there is no apostle to be a stepping stone?

It must have consumed a considerable amount of divine power. And as if to support my speculation, the more uglier fertility began to grow heavier.

As if seeing the seething calm that had engulfed Fiona’s body the other day.

“Are you really crazy?”

Of course, Mariel is absolutely not an apostle. If so, he would not have been an archbishop, but rather a higher rank.

In fact, Mariel’s body, which could not handle the ugly power of prosperity, was rapidly melting.

Mariel’s flesh dripping down, bones falling out, and blood coming out of every hole.

Ugly prosperousness, who barely sent down his consciousness by consuming his followers as if throwing them away for one-time use, opened his mouth through Mari El.

[Ah… It’s a really obscene scent.]

Could it be that he noticed Carla’s qualities?

If I hadn’t intervened, Karla would have become an ugly prosperous saint. She is said to be a good match for her.

As I hurriedly blocked Karla’s way and glared at her bastard, Mari El’s half-collapsed eyes curved into crescents.

[Yandel, our nemesis. And you naughty kid Won’t you be my apostle?]

“What… ?”

That I’m so mad with lust that evil spirits covet it?

This is mothership!!!!
