Chapter 343 – Recognized by the Evil God (3)

The majestic appearance of the meat tree growing from Mariel’s corpse made me mutter unintentionally.

“It sucks, really…”

The true value of Ugly Prosperity is not in direct combat, but in the buff/debuff that weakens opponents and strengthens allies.

And the fact that that meat tree grew on the battlefield put us at a significant disadvantage.

So far, we’ve been able to take down quite a few without any casualties, but… That’s because most of the dead tremble.

There are still a lot of ugly prosperous troops left, and there must be a lot of guys stronger than the guys you’ve dealt with so far.

Aren’t they the ones who take their children as their followers and drive them to the battlefield, and live with the crazy mindset that even if that child dies, they just have to give birth to it again?

Those with some strength are trying to figure out our strength behind the scenes… You must be waiting for the power to wear off.

If we want to fight further here, we must also prepare for considerable damage. And this is contrary to its original purpose.

If everyone dies here, who will protect Alfheim? That is why he cried out without hesitation.

“Don’t fight, be nice!”

Allies who stopped for a moment. However, if I were to say it, Karla, who moved before thinking, took out a yellow potion bottle from her bosom and threw it with telekinesis magic, and only then did I follow her and start rummaging through her pockets.

Instead of swordsmanship and magic that had been constantly flying in, potion bottles flew across the sky.

Low-ranking priests and monsters with slow reactions were sometimes covered with yellow liquid, but most of them were intercepted and poured onto the ground.

But it’s okay. You don’t have to touch it directly anyway, just the smell spreads.

The pungent smell of pungent nose and the acrid smell of hallucinogenic substances mix with the disgusting scent of chestnut flowers and spread around.

A bizarre smell that frowned on allies as well as enemies. In response, one of the priests of ugly prosperity shouted.

“This guy! How dare you try to cover up the blessings the goddess has given you with this smell!”

He had a short shaved head and a muscular body that could be 1.5 times the size of an average person. However, he was a man who wore an unconventional fashion called a leather bondage outfit.

He was a guy whose existence itself was no different from a mental attack… His bubbly demeanor did not last long.

“It’s a stupid trick! Purple! We, the children of Prosperity, are still in good health, and you guys are not having a hard time controlling yourself… Hmm? Go away, Goblin!”

“Keeik!”
“Kick Kick!”
“Keruk!”

“What?! What is this power… Um, stop! There… That ah ah ah!”

A muscular giant who was surrounded and subdued by goblins in an instant. Contrary to how it looks, it seems that the power is weak.

Or the goblin has become overly strong.

It seems that something beyond my imagination happened at the point where it attacked me as if it didn’t matter if it was a man or not a woman in the first place…

Is it because of the buff spread around that meat tree?

Unlike other greenskins, he is an ugly dwarf who has no desire for honor or struggle, and lives only for sexual desire. That’s a goblin.

And the representative buff power of Ugly Prosperity is the physical ability to become stronger as sexually excited.

Such is the disgusting aura that emanates from that meat tree.

In other words, when you try to rape the other person, the power rises several times… !

The effect of the urine potion and the authority of the meat tree overlap, and the fully erected goblin’s body is dramatically strengthened… Until now, even men and women do not discriminate!

What a fearful being! What the hell have I done?

Well, good news for us.

Their formation started to be destroyed in an instant by the rampaging goblins, as if they didn’t mind anything as long as they could drive them.

“Stop! Now, the order of the ugly Prosperity comes first… Whoa!”
“I-I prefer to fuck him hehe… !”
“This is not the time to sneakily enjoy yourself! They run away!”

The ugly prosperous followers who try to chase after the goblins by subduing them or, if necessary, killing them.

But if you don’t know anything else about goblins, aren’t they huge monsters in terms of their number?

No matter how much I cleared it, there were few people who could properly chase it as they were tied to the goblins that kept popping out.

To put it bluntly, it’s about priests and monsters of Archbishop level or higher…

“Emergency attendance!”
“O boiling fury, become a great barrier and burn my enemies! Fire Wall!”
“O circulating life! Your power here… !”

It is said that an angular stone is right.

They fall after being hit by the protruding swordsmanship, or are blocked by magic and struggle. Some were chained to the stems and roots that rose from trees they thought were dead.

I also decided to prepare one last gift as I deliberately stayed in the rear to keep the pursuing enemies in check.

Pounding-

The hot energy flowing through the heart. Even though the highly concentrated mana filled the entire body, it even flowed into the staff he was holding.

The staff accepts mana without much resistance, probably because it is a weapon that is synchronized with me. The magical light at the end of it draws a large magic circle in the air.

The patterns were intricately intertwined to the extent that they were incomparable to any magic that had been used so far. It is a characteristic of magic that calculation is more important than intuition.

… I intend to gloss over that calculation with words.

“[A crack in the void. It is a longing that cannot be satisfied. I tell the shackles on everyone’s ankles without anyone knowing. Right now at this moment. Break down your own laws and assemble at my call.]”

The magic circle drawn in the air begins to turn dark purple.

At the same time, the vision is gradually distorted. However, my eyes are fine. Because what is distorted is space, not cognition.

Instinctive anxiety unique to space-time magic that touches something that shouldn’t be touched. I forcibly suppressed it and concentrated my mind.

The starter words that follow.

“[Gravity Fall.]”

There was no loud noise. It was dyed black from the center of the magic circle, as if someone had spilled ink on it.

The black speck, which quietly grew in size, swallowed the whole magic circle before it reached the same size.

As we slowly aim the raised staff at the enemies, a long stretch of magic blocks us from them.

Soon after, an incubus that had escaped through countless obstacles reached the black barrier.

“At las! Stop running away and calmly accept the ugly hands of Mr. Uh huh?”

It didn’t take long for the boy’s bewildered voice to turn into a scream.

“Queueeeee No, nonsense! I… This is me… !”

He fell flat on the ground like a fly crushed by a giant hand.

He tries to get up somehow, but every time he does, his joints twist, his muscles tear, and he repeatedly slams into the ground in a bizarre posture.

After a few missteps like that, he ended up squashed into a bizarre pose like a broken doll.

Even considering the tenacious life force unique to cultists, he would have died at that level.

Gravity Fall. As you can guess from the name, it is an advanced magic that concentrates gravity.

Simple power is not enough compared to other magic… It’s a very tricky magic, so dispelling it will take quite a bit of time. Even if you try to break it by force, it won’t be easy since the mana I put in is considerable.

Of course, if we turn around and take a detour, we will be able to break through without any problems, but at that time it will be after we have already widened the distance.

I thought this was enough, so I shouted to those who were frantically preparing for the next attack.

“It’s okay, so take it back. Get out of here!”

Only then did those who dispersed mana and aura join those who went ahead.

***

After that, a few chased after them, but most of them fell into our hands or we were able to quietly run away.

It is said to have dried up due to the absorption of life force, but it is still part of the Great Forest.

No other race is as free inside the great forest as the elves. The guide was competent, so the speed of movement was fast.

The nearby Nidhog platform that somehow arrived.

Knights with strong bodies were at least fine, but wizards and priests were spread out on the floor and panting.

“Keugh.”

The dizziness felt as the manifested characteristics of the dragon disappeared back into the body.

The reaction of Yonginhwa and the sense of reversal caused by the shrinking of the expanded senses were mixed and expressed in the form of a sense of helplessness.

As if carrying several heavy weights, he dragged his languid body and looked around.

Everyone was a bit tired, but no one was killed or seriously injured.

Although their combat abilities are somewhat lacking, it must be thanks to the circulating Priests of Life who specialize in recovery.

Then I relaxed and sat down with my butt on the floor.

“Whoa…”

A sigh of relief.

At this, Grimhill and Tumilla, who were the representatives of the rest of the party except for my women, approached.

“Can we talk for a moment?”

“Ah, that’s right. Because things have turned out this way, there is a lot to talk about.”

After saying that while sitting down, the two nodded and opened their mouths in turn.

“The size of the enemy is considerably larger than I thought. What do you plan to do next?”

“I am concerned that an even uglier prosperity is actively intervening, even using up its followers as expendable items. Duke Lindelheit will never change his mind, but if he is captured by any chance…”

The two voices full of worries.

But. If I made a mistake here, Alfheim might fall into the hands of those lunatics, so it must have been a natural reaction.

For them, this is the hometown where they were born and raised for a long time and where the roots of their faith exist.

“Once you look at it from a broader perspective, it worked out as planned. Anyway, we unilaterally fooled the opponent and escaped safely. But it’s all thanks to the urine potion I threw at the end. The next engagement will not be like this one.”

“Oh that…”

“Don’t fight… Hmmm. You mean that?”

The two couldn’t bear to say everything and coughed. The important thing now is not my naming sense.

“The effect was good, but they are out of stock now. We have to think of another way.”

“I think so too. But if you leave like this, you won’t be able to eat or die.”

“Yes. They’ll pillage the surrounding villages and make their way to the World Tree. At that time, you will have a stronger army than you do now. So we have to solve it somehow before we get to Yggdrasil.”

“… I agree, but even with reinforcements I don’t think we can win.”

That’s right. In the first place, the original plan was built on the premise that the ugly prosperous army had yet to gather properly.

It’s just that the snowball hasn’t rolled, and if you want to deal with a fully prepared army like now, you need to do your best as a nation.

It’s not something that can be done with only a small number of elites like now.

As Grimhill said, even if you join forces with the Levantine Empire’s reinforcements, it means nothing if you can’t defeat them.

But.

“There is a way.”

There’s a minor problem that’s a bit dangerous, but that’s what I’ve never been.
