Chapter 400 – Coalescing (3)

Aaaaah-!

The black and red evil god’s divine power began to burn the two-headed giant’s body.

As if trying to dye the empty drawing paper with your own color,

It’s a matter of course, but the two evil gods didn’t intend to burn the giant they had created. In the process of quickly and a lot of divine power, the overflowing energy just looks like a flame.

At this, Solari’s face contorted violently.

“Lady Solari? Can you guess what that is? First of all, it seems to me that they are trying to make that giant a vessel for an apostle.”

Although unconscious, the specs of the body itself are ridiculous. It was only natural that he had absorbed so many cultists and monsters.

The defensive ability to receive the minimal damage from the Furnishment I cast with all my strength is also a problem, but the bigger problem is probably the regenerative ability to rewind wounds in an instant.

The reason it is difficult to make an apostle is that the mind of a mortal must resemble that of a god.

If you don’t, you won’t be able to withstand the immense divine power and your body will explode. But with that giant, things are a little different.

A strong body will withstand the burden of divine power, and even if it collapses, it will recover immediately with more regenerative power.

In other words, it is a somewhat forced method, but it is said that he can make an apostle and project his power directly.

Now, even cardinal-level cultists and mutants of large monsters are no longer my opponents, but if I become an apostle, the story is different.

It won’t be as powerful as the ugly bloom right before the advent that I dealt with the other day, but at least it should be enough to deal with me.

However, as always, my expectations were wrong in a bad way.

“Half right!”

“Half?”

“It is true that he is an apostle’s vessel, and it is true that he is being appointed as an apostle… There is no consciousness in that body.”

“I’m not conscious… Even with Svid, Astrid disappeared?”

“There’s no way you can maintain your self after merging so many creatures, right?”

That’s it again No matter how tenacious Astrid is, she is only at the level of a mortal.

“So you’re just occupying the empty body?”

“You have to fill the empty body with your own mind and soul.”

“I’m asking just in case, but the person I’m talking about here…”

“A reckless roar and a clouded union. I’m talking about one or the other! No, since the two divine powers are being injected at the same time, it must be both!”

“…”

I’m tired

That’s why you are not the apostle of the evil spirit, but the incarnation of the evil spirit. He must have even possessed divine power twice that of a normal apostle.

The two evil spirits, who would never join hands, wanted to cooperate, but it seems that they are even thinking of merging.

That’s why you’re sincere in knocking me down. There must have been some calculations that if only I could defeat him, I would be able to conquer the continent of Eurelia.

Even if he is an apostle, he has the power equivalent to that of a sword master or archmage, but is he an incarnation that has become twice as strong?

I don’t know what to do if Havel fights directly when he’s perfect.

“In the end, there is only one way to turn around. You mean you have to kill that giant anyway?”

“… Huh. If I could do that, it would be like defeating two demons. Because it contained his mind and soul without any cushioning material, the shock of the death of the body will be transmitted intact.”

It is not that the main body that is supposed to be stuck somewhere in the seal will disappear. However, the spirit and soul that should dwell within it are broken and become an empty shell.

And the body that loses its essence loses the integrity unique to the transcendent along with the divinity.

How long would a lump of meat that was no longer a god and had no consciousness survive in the seal?

As Solari said, the ending was practically death.

“… But how do I take it down?”

“That’s the problem. Reckless Roar and Cloudy Conjunction risk everything to kill us, but we’re not prepared to face them. The good news is that it will take ten more days to fully transform into an incarnation…”

It’s good that you have time for more than 10 days. In the meantime, you can try anything.

Anyway, the thought that the immediate battle was over completely relieved the tension that I had left a little, and I thought of this and that in my head.

In a state where the divine powers of the two evil gods surround the giant like a shield like now, no matter what I do, I can’t stand it.

However, if we leave it alone, we will eventually have to fight and defeat the two evil gods who incarnated together. Perhaps this one is more difficult.

It took a while for the other women to sigh as well, as if there was no sharp way.

Suddenly, Fay jumped out from among the Dwarf warriors. What the hell did he do?

“Brother! I have an idea!”

“Is there any way to defeat that giant?”

“Huh! If the opponent is united, shouldn’t we fight together as well?”

Faye’s eyes peeked through her messy bangs, and she seemed to be able to sense ghosts.

I asked cautiously, thinking that maybe her head was ripped off by the power of the evil spirit that had spread all the way here.

“… Why are you talking dirty in such a crowded place?”

Whisper softly so that no one else can hear it, and Faye jumps up and down as if she’s talking nonsense.

“It’s not like what juniors think! The fusion is with the golem, not me!”

“Golem… ? Can you wait a minute?”

“That’s right. I’m talking about the giant golem that my junior recently invested in me and researched a cartload of gold!”

“Is that possible?!”

My voice rose without my knowledge. The dwarves around them seemed to be distracted by something else.

“You. Did you just hear You said you were sponsored with gold!”
“What? The dragon did not take the gold away, but received it… ?”
“It must mean that he cares for Lady Fay that much.”
“Miss Faye. You really…”
“Hmmmm… Since Mrs. Astrid and Prince Svid became like that, isn’t there only one next head of household?”
“Be honest. You have no interest in politics or power.”
“… I couldn’t believe what I just saw was alchemy.”

Therefore… Are you saying that Faey was recognized by the Dwarf Engineers in the process of improvising the shells?

A stubborn Dwarf, but there were always exceptions. It’s like that when you meet a master craftsman who is better than you in other fields.

Although the other dwarves were still looking at me in disbelief… It seems that he recognized Fay as much as he was a sapper.

Faye continued with a slightly proud expression.

“Have you seen prototypes before? It would be pretty soon since we just need to increase the size and change it to a way that the passenger controls it directly, not remotely.”

“Hmm…”

It’s true that there was no proper way anyway. It would be okay to try Fay’s method. Even if it fails, it just returns to the starting point.

“Great. What can I do?”

“… Help me heal my father.”

“?”

I don’t have any medical knowledge?

Faye spit out the words to me, embarrassed, with an expression that she would die of regret.

“With the junior’s horn and Miss Helena’s holy power, anything will work. I can’t make it on time by myself, so there’s nothing I can do about it.”

“To.”

Is it. Actually, I was not a dragon, but an antler.

***

“As I said before, the design for the giant golem has already been completed. Cultivation of artificial muscles has also been completed. But the problem is the skeleton to support all of this and the armor to cover the surface.”

“Didn’t you originally say you were using my scales?”

“That’s right. I liked the dragon scale because it was light and hard. But the problem is that mass production failed. You can’t tear off your junior’s flesh every day, can you? So, I succeeded in ducting an alloy with similar properties as much as possible…”

“Then can’t we just make it?”

“It is difficult to make. I make everything with alchemy in an alchemy pot, but the giant golem’s bones and armor are too big. I thought about attaching several small pieces, but that would make it difficult to get it right on time and reduce the overall strength.”

“Huh…”

Faye continued talking to me who was dumbfounded.

“Leaving aside personal circumstances, if you purely look at your skills, no one will follow your father. At least here. So, I want you to help me heal for a while.”

“If Fei-senpai says that, then I’m fine. But therapy… Do you know what kind of disease it is and ask for my horns?”

I’m not a unicorn, and horns can’t be a panacea.

Fei thought about it for a while, but when he looked closely, he finally confessed the truth.

“… No. Actually, what I’m trying to make from my junior’s horn is more like a pain reliever and stimulant that relieves pain for a while rather than a cure. If Miss Helena’s treatment is added to that, she will be able to return to her prime in a few days.”

“It’s cheating after all.”

“It is not. It was because I wanted to properly explain it to my father. However, the question is whether my father will help me…”

The relationship and the bad relationship are too deep, so it was yesterday that we said let’s stop here and go our separate ways. But it must be a bit uneasy to change your attitude and ask for help in one day.

It was the moment when the shadow on Faye’s face deepened.

Damn

A metallic sound from far away. Strangely, the sharpness that caught my nerves reflexively turned my head.

Rokan Jarnshard.

Even the iron staff was not enough, and the decrepit Dwarf, barely able to take her steps with the support of Lyubbina, was walking with difficulty.

Crowds of people splitting on both sides at every step. The feeling of intimidation as heavy as the slow speed.

I felt that I was getting closer, so I asked Fay a lot of questions beforehand… It arrived just in time.

Her cloudy, clouded eyes looked down at the ring on her finger, and then saw the two-headed giant burning with dark red divine power in the distance.

And at the end, Lokhan, who fixed her gaze on Fay, continued her words.

“No need to worry.”

“What?”

“If it’s a stimulant, you’re saying it’s a drug that gives a corresponding rebound after the effect ends. However, it doesn’t matter. Give me a chance to correct my vices. Let the ugly old man who failed to protect his family this time make the right choice, albeit belatedly.”

“…”

Words that seemed to refer to Astrid and Svid, but also to Faye and her mother, Laura.

Fei’s gaze wavered several times at this, but… Eventually, she regained her composure.

Calmly sunken black eyes shimmered like those of a master craftsman.

“Thank you. Then, I will prepare the medicine, and in the meantime, father call the others and order them to assist this side.”

“… Please.”

The eyes resembled Meister Lokhan’s.
