Episode 245. Invading! (6)
I blew away the soldiers guarding the room and quickly woke them up.
It seemed like there was no particular harm done, as they were sleeping soundly.
Fortunately, Prince Totema, who had been hidden using stealth magic, also appears to have not been caught.
“Huh…? Radon, what the hell is going on?”
Jenny, who had just woken up, rubs her eyes and says.
“Umm…. Good morning, my friend.”
“Why did you suddenly come to this room?”
Then Mary stood up and opened her mouth in a haggard voice.
There was a surprising reaction to the fact that I, who was supposed to be hiding in the next room, suddenly barged in as soon as the morning came.
Besides, they also had an eye for detail.
The sight of the soldiers lying in front of the door and me gathering up all my luggage caught my eye.
“Wake up quickly.”
Then the story is quick.
“I’ll attack head on.”

Kwaaang!-
Chiriririk!-
Kookung!-
A huge explosion occurs from the magic, the ground freezes, and a pillar of ice is created.
Cold and heat danced in the air, creating simultaneous shock waves.
A threatening and gruesome phenomenon occurred in the middle of the village, but did not cause any harm to the residents.
The only ones who suffered were the foolish soldiers who got involved.
“Catch those guys…, Aaaah!”
“It’s Radon Crowler! The face I saw on the flyer… Kehehe!”
A number of soldiers were scattered like sand by the flames that Mary lightly used.
The soldier who was hit in the head by a non-lethal magic arrow shot by Ruska lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
“Prince Totema is with you too… Huh?”
The soldiers were frozen solid without even being able to approach Jenny due to the cold air she radiated from her hands.
“I think I’ve finally sorted it all out.”
『Fortunately, there was no damage here. You have become much stronger than before, Master.』
And the troops approaching me were made to crawl on the ground by the spirits I controlled.
Now, the entire Papiyas force that arrived in this village to capture me has been annihilated.
They were so unilaterally destroyed that they couldn’t even put up a fight.
Of course, they are by no means easy beings. They have undergone all kinds of training and have practical experience, so there is no way they would be weak.
It’s just that the power here was too strong. To the point where you wouldn’t think they were just cadets in uniforms.
Last year, we would have been cornered by this force, but now, other than some dust on our clothes, we were barely harmed.
“Eight, the muffler is disheveled again. And the skirt is flowing down too.”
“Shall I dress you up again?”
“Okay! If you do that, you’ll look even sloppier than you already are!”
Even when they woke up, they were in such a hurry that they couldn’t even dress up properly.
Whenever Ruska ran around, her pants would fall down and her muffler would fall to the floor.
The same was true for Jenny, who defeated the mercenaries in one fell swoop despite her uncomfortable state.
“Jenny, you better button up your shirt properly. I can see your chest through that white shirt.”
“Me, really?”
“And wear your stockings properly. I can see your panties.”
“Oh, what should I do?”
As Ruska said, Jenny ended up wearing the top and bottom.
When she was starting to get really embarrassed, Ruska raised the corners of her lips and said something.
“That’s a lie.”
“Hey! Do you want to die!?”
When Ruska teased Jenny about her outfit, Jenny’s face turned red and she got angry.
The situation was not so dangerous for them that they had to engage in such banter.
“Guys! I forgot how to wear this.”
“Why do you look like that!”
“Quick, put on some proper clothes!”
However, when they saw Mary suddenly barging in, the two stopped arguing and became startled.
That’s because Mary was in a more serious situation than they were.
That’s understandable, since he came out wearing only underwear. He was holding the uniform he had to change into in his hand.
“I can’t live because of you!”
Eventually, Ruska ended up dressing Mary herself.
Jenny created a wall of ice to block the view of those around her undressing.
Now that I had defeated all the troops, I could put on my clothes in peace.
After about five minutes of me guarding the ice wall, the wall finally gave way and they returned to their original form.
His neatly dressed appearance was a living example of an Alighieri cadet.
In the meantime, I also brushed off the dirt from my clothes.
“Master, are you okay?”
Aisha, who had been watching the surroundings, flew over and asked me.
I dusted myself off and said with a smile.
“If it weren’t okay, this kind of fuss wouldn’t have happened.”
Since piloting Diora yesterday, the power that had been depleted has been revived.
When I woke up one night, both my magic and stamina were fully charged.
Now that my body was completely healed, there was no need to hesitate.
“Everyone! Are you okay?”
At that moment, Prince Talema, who had been hiding, came running in a hurry.
He looked very worried, as if his conscience was pricking him, as he was still under protection.
“Thank you so much! I am indebted to you again!”
“No. I have a favor to ask. Can you grant me one?”
“Of course!”
I told everyone in front of me what I had heard from the soldiers last night.
Secret experiments conducted within the Papyrus. The capture of the divine beings that have gathered in the empire.
After hearing that, Ruska realized why her eyes had been sore last night.
“Haaah… Papyrus hasn’t changed at all from then to now.”
“Even if my father, Talema, is gone, the basic ideology remains the same.”
“Those damn bastards.”
Although it was once the place where he grew up, Ruska had no affection for the place.
Rather, it is a region that is like an enemy that took the lives of my parents. There was even a time when I tried to destroy the place for revenge.
An incident where they once collaborated with Enviel to blow up the kingdom itself. That incident is about to happen again.
“Do you have any idea what’s sleeping underground in the Kingdom of Papyrus?”
“The corpse of the evil god….”
“And that corpse is perfect as a vessel for the God of Destruction. That must be their goal.”
Jenny and Ruska held their breaths when they heard that, because they were so dumbfounded.
Why would they go to such lengths to bring down that dangerous being?
This is all related to the current imperial situation.
“Jenny, you must be afraid of your father becoming the emperor. Those who betrayed the Chainsilver family in the past are now bloodshot in fear.”
“Just because of that….”
Jenny herself knew that her family had once been inferior to other nobles.
That’s why guys like Travel Wilde in the beginning started a fight.
It’s not just the Bayold family. I don’t know how many guys have bullied Chainsilver in the past.
His father, Gerard, likely remembers all of that.
Of course, Gerard was a man of integrity and would not have taken revenge, but they seemed anxious because they did not know that fact.
If Chain Silver takes control of the empire, they will be in danger.
So Jenny couldn’t help but get even angrier.
“They don’t even reflect on what they did in the past… they just think about overturning it.”
Didn’t they say that frogs don’t know what they were when they were tadpoles?
Didn’t they say that even dragons don’t know about their hatchling days?
It was all their past karma that brought them into this situation.
He probably didn’t know that Chain Silver, which he had sold so hard for, would grow like this. However, he completely forgot about his actions back then and was only worried about his own comfort.
They took the lead in calling down the God of Destruction to alleviate that worry.
“I can’t forgive you!”
It was truly selfish and disgusting, like a worm-infested pumpkin.
And we were the only ones who knew about their dirty plans.
From my perspective, knowing the ending of this world, there was only one thing I had to do.
For a comfortable ending.
“I’m planning on heading to Papyrus now. I’m currently on a mission, but we’re the only ones who know this.”
It’s not specifically about moving toward world peace and justice.
Just for my own peace, I just want to create a world where I can stretch out my legs and live quietly.
To do that, the top priority is to prevent the signs of the resurrection of the final boss, the God of Destruction.
“Even though her face is known through flyers like wanted posters, she can be fooled by Aisha’s ability.”
There is no way to know when that resurrection will occur.
At a point where the main story is basically useless, it wouldn’t be strange if the god of destruction descended right now.
Even if no one goes with you, you must go alone. Because if you don’t fight, you can’t get peace.
“The choice is yours.”
There is no need to force yourself to follow me.
They have no reason to step on the land of Papyrus unlike me… .
“I want to go too.”
“me too.”
“me too!”
As expected, they chose to be with me.
When asked why, they answered one by one.
“The reason they want to summon the God of Destruction is to strike our father. Then it will directly affect our family. There is no reason why I should not get involved.”
“I’ve long since given up on Papiyas, but it’ll be a different story if they start messing with Shinsoo again.”
“I’ll stick by my friend’s side no matter what! Do you mind?”
There was another reason besides the fact that he wanted to hang out with me.
Except for the last little guy.
Finally, after confirming our feelings, we joined hands and strengthened our friendship.
Now, they and I were in a relationship that could not be burned no matter how hard we tried.
“Prince Talema. Can you relay everything we’ve talked about so far to Lord Shaikhar?”
“Yes, with my intuition, I could send telepathy to the lower spirits. But I hope you don’t call me prince….”
I kept calling him prince out of habit.
It was quite an impolite act, so I was wondering what to change my title to.
“Then how about a pretty boy?”
“Pretty boy?”
“Pretty Boy #2!”
Mary, who had suddenly barged in, was making strange noises again.
Are you saying that since Heidern was number 1 before, Totema is number 2?
“That would be great!”
“Okay! Starting today, you are pretty boy number 2!”
It really varies.
Anyway, after parting ways with the second pretty boy(?), we got on the carriage and headed to Papiyas.
It was quite a distance, requiring an overnight carriage ride and then a transfer to a horse-drawn train.
I didn’t forget to hold a countermeasure meeting along the way.
“But Radon, your face is known there. Are you sure it’s okay?”
“As I said before, it’s something you can do by deceiving them with techniques like illusions.”
“Then you’re just wasting your magic power.”
No, the magic power has increased quite a bit, so now I can use it without any problems.
I can understand why Jenny is so worried.
But this worry was quickly resolved.
“Don’t worry! Just do the Flash ritual again.”
“….”
The ritual of flash. Female makeup.
The girls raised the corners of their mouths once again at the mention of that word.
The sight of him looking like a hungry fox sent shivers down my spine.
But for some reason… .
“okay.”
I didn’t feel any resistance.
Why am I suddenly like this?
I’m obviously a guy with a lower body and no chest bump?
It shouldn’t be like this.
Why on earth… .
* * * * *
The Kingdom of Papyrus, a military state.
Apart from the image of a barbarian who only knew swords and fists, the castle at the center of the kingdom boasted a splendid appearance.
Although it had the basic appearance of a kingdom, its insides were still barbaric.
Because it was a small country founded by such people, the scope of their heinous actions was bound to expand.
The underground of the Papyrus Kingdom, where no one is allowed to enter.
The screams of non-human creatures could be heard from there from time to time.
Kkiaaaaaa!-
Krrrrrr!!-
A four-legged beast was howling while trapped in a special iron cage.
He had needles stuck all over his body, connected to strangely glowing strings, and was suffering from an unknown energy circulating through the strings.
They were no ordinary beasts.
At first glance, it looked like a large wolf or fox, but it had multiple tails or wings.
Humans call them ‘gods’.
“Can we really awaken the God of Destruction by doing this?”
‘Torma Blip Papyas’, who was appointed as the current King of Papyas, spoke with concern.
Then, among the many people sitting in front of the large table, an old elf opened his mouth.
“Recall what Elder Enviel was trying to do. If we use the power of the Divine Beast to cause a huge explosion on this land, we can pull out the corpse of the evil god.”
The elf who led all this, Grisha Highend, had a neat expression on his face.
Harkel Byold, sitting next to him, also opened his mouth at the sight of that eerie sight.
“But no matter how evil a god may be, he is still just a corpse. He has no wisdom or driving force to move.”
If you have magic power, you can move corpses.
However, obtaining enough magical power to move a being of the level of an evil god is like trying to find a needle in a haystack.
It is impossible unless you take away the body of the evil spirit and a suitable soul.
“No, there is.”
But Grisha drew a line and said:
He placed what appeared to be a small bead on the table.
When asked what that was, Grisha said with the same expression.
“This is the most suitable soul. Should we say that it is the will of Emperor Machia, who was called the Demon King a long time ago?”
Machia, are you talking about the Machia that is captured by the Zodiac Cross Divan?
To their curiosity, Grisha began to explain little by little.
The gods who began to eavesdrop on this began to cry out in pain and fear.
They were shouting for help with all their might.
Please stop that devil.
