Episode 262. Raid (1)
Shocking news was delivered to those who had regained their happiness.
Bayman came running, leading a giant golem, and got off with Radon on his back.
Then he ran and brought Radon and laid him down.
An ominous aura passed over Bayman as he had a very serious expression on his face.
“My brother-in-law isn’t breathing!”
At one word we finally heard, our collective hearts sank.
Because not breathing sounded like nothing else but death.
But why? He was fine until he boarded the golem a little while ago.
There was no physical damage to him whatsoever, except that his magic power level was reduced to 0 due to exhaustion.
It was literally out of the blue.
“No, are you kidding? No way….”
Of course, from Jenny’s perspective, it was nonsense.
It is medically impossible for a perfectly healthy baby to lose its heart within a few hours.
It’s hard to believe that this happened because of the shock Bayman experienced while controlling the Golem.
If Bayman had driven that recklessly, there would have been bruises all over Radon’s body.
“That’s strange…? It hasn’t been that long since my heart stopped.”
“Besides, my body is still warm and I am physically fine.”
Mary and Ruska immediately conducted a thorough examination of his body.
Mary’s magic could tell what kind of illness Radon had, and Ruska’s hand gestures could tell what kind of physical defects Radon had.
Their diagnosis, reminiscent of a doctor’s, was completely ‘normal’.
“Then why did it turn out like this?”
Jenny screamed as if she was about to cry at that very moment.
For example, it wasn’t just Jenny, but everyone here felt the same way.
Radon was a friend that was inseparable from others. More than that, he was very special and important to them.
Because they were inseparable, he couldn’t predict what path they would take if he died… how they would explode.
“Get out of the way!”
“Let’s give it a try!”
At least Angela and Nevia came forward and examined Radon’s body.
They were the two most powerful saints in this land. At least they could produce more profitable results than Mary and Ruska.
however….
“Ugh…!”
“Eek…!”
“what’s the matter?”
The two saints who were examining Radon’s body with sorcery suddenly gasped.
When Jenny asked why, the two saints spoke tremblingly.
“Something… is lurking.”
“Radon Oppa’s soul… is being eaten by something!”
Jenny and Ruska didn’t understand what the term meant, as it was related to the priesthood.
But suddenly one important fact occurred to me.
That’s the deadly risk that radon poses.
“Did you happen to get caught in that■ and your heart stopped?”
Jenny’s question was quite plausible.
The Liar’s Curse. If you can’t lie, your erosion rate increases, and when that erosion rate reaches its maximum, your life is taken.
A terrible curse that can never be revealed to the outside world unless there is an Eternal Flame or two saints present.
In fact, Radon was currently unconscious. So, since he couldn’t lie, it’s possible that the erosion rate increased while he was sleeping.
But that opinion was rejected.
“That’s not it.”
“Why?”
“You heard it before, Jenny. When the erosion rate reaches its maximum, the body turns to sand.”
“then….”
If death was due to a curse, the body should have turned to sand and died.
Not something like a sudden cardiac arrest.
“In short, Brother Radon’s erosion rate is still fine. But who knows when it will rise again.”
I understand that something is trying to eat away at Radon’s body.
Perhaps they were trying to chase his soul away and take his body, but I couldn’t tell who it was.
There’s not a single clue other than the fact that it’s something very ominous.
I was wondering where his soul had gone.
-Ugh.
-Huh?
They were startled by the sudden sound of a beast howling nearby.
I turned my head, wary that it might be a demon, and there were two wolves standing there.
I wondered what kind of guys these were, but they were some rather unusual wolves.
“Shin Soo…?”
One Mara had nine tails like Angela, and the other Mara was a wolf with angel-like wings.
In particular, Ruska and Angela were able to identify the species at once by looking at the two.
Of course, there were some questions.
“Why is Shinsoo in a place like this?”
As if a fennec fox had emerged from a snowy field, Jenny wondered why such a rare animal was present in such a ruined site.
But if you think about it, there was no need to be strange about these kids being around.
“Maybe they were the ones being experimented on underground.”
“But somehow you survived the explosion.”
None of them knew that these kids had been saved by Lyman’s speed.
But strangely enough, the mythical nine-tailed animal is a fox, but in this case, both of them were wolves.
There was a time when I wondered if it might be a mutation that occurred over time.
-Krrrrrr… .
-Awww~
What were they crying about?
The sight was unexpectedly cute, and Jenny almost reached for it without realizing it.
“What? You want to help us?”
That’s when Angela understood what they were saying.
In fact, it seems that Angela also has the blood of a divine being flowing through her, so communication seems possible.
-Woooow!
-cadet!
The kids were talking, but everyone except Angela had question marks on their heads.
“What are you saying?”
So when Nebia asked, Angela translated what the gods were saying.
“Let us take you inside this guy’s imaginary world… Leave it to us…,” he said.
“Imagination world?”
That was the first time Angela had heard that.
I don’t know if he’s some kind of divine being with special powers, but any help is always welcome.
-Ouch! Ouch!
-Aww!
“What are you saying this time?”
“Let’s liquidate the light that saved us… That way, we’ll feel better…?”
Two divine beings speaking with a somewhat loyal tone.
I heard that Radon saved these two when he went underground.
Angela continued to translate what the two gods were saying, and through this she learned how to obtain Radon.
“It’s an imaginary world….”
“I learned about it in class. It’s a space in the mind realized by magic.”
Since I only learned it theoretically, I couldn’t know the details unless I went in and tried it myself.
They moved as the two gods requested.
First, Jenny and Ruska lay down, each holding Radon’s hands, then Mary held Ruska’s hand, and Naevia held Jenny’s hand and lay down in the same way.
In that state, they share sensations by sending magical power to each other.
Everyone was preparing to enter the same imaginary world.
-Awwwwwww!
-Awwwwwww!
And then the two divine beasts roared loudly and bared their teeth.
Then he places the mysteriously glowing tooth into Radon’s arm.
Then he carved the same wounds on them as they lay down.
Although the pain was excruciating, it was something he could endure to revive Radon.
“Be sure to bring Radon.”
“Of course it should be.”
“Alright! The ninja squad of assassins is on the move!”
“I’ve never formed a group like that!”
The moment each of them said a word, their eyes closed on their own and they fell into a trance.
They had sent their consciousness into the imaginary world where Radon existed.
“Everyone must return safely.”
Angela, who was the last one left, slowly breathed her holy power into Radon’s body.
According to the two divine beings, the only target they can send is ‘humans’, and their power does not work on their own kind.
After all, Angela was of the same species as these two.
Instead, the last remaining Angela also had an important role to play.
“Is this really the way to stop Radon Oppa’s body from being eaten by someone?”
-Wooooow~
-Ugh.
The two divine beasts nodded their heads in agreement.
I don’t know exactly what kind of ritual it was, but the only thing they had to rely on was the method that Marie had shown them.
Actually, Angela was doing the right thing.
Because she remained in reality and protected Radon’s body, the erosion of the God of Destruction was slowed down.
* * * * *
-Huh? This is….
In the pure white space of the mind, the god of destruction, Endless, tilts his head.
Having torn Radon Crawler’s body in half, he now sought to completely absorb his psyche.
So I tried to stretch my body a bit more and swallow the radon.
It was at that time that my body was transformed into mud or slime.
-This light is….
Radon’s spirit body, which had been torn in half, suddenly began to glow.
It wasn’t so dazzling as to blind her, but Endless gave up on touching him.
It’s pretty hard to absorb when you’re surrounded by that light.
Endless was only able to understand after seeing the situation outside.
-I see. Was it the saint’s interference after all?
A saint with fox ears and nine tails was protecting Radon’s spirit body.
It would be easy to descend the main body right now and eliminate that saintess, but Lyman’s interference is currently annoying, so I can’t descend.
In addition, he is gradually being pushed back by Lyman. The reason is probably because the zombie evil spirit was brutally neutralized.
Now that it’s come to this, we need to absorb a new vessel, Radon Crawler, as soon as possible.
-Hehehe. Even so, it won’t last long, Saintess.
It would probably be hard for him to keep the light surrounding Radon.
Once that time limit is up, Radon’s spirit body will be taken over by Endless.
Ultimately, it may seem like an act that only serves to waste time.
-No, aren’t you alone after all?
On either side of Radon Crawler were girls lying, holding his hands.
There was an air of joy and sorrow in the air as I held his hand.
And Endless saw the teeth marks on their arms.
-That means, after all…!
Endless smiled as if she found it interesting.
The sight of the corners of the mouth going up on the black face with nothing engraved on it was truly bizarre.
Then, as he had expected, someone was summoned into the imaginary space where there were only two people.
“Wow!”
“Ouch!”
“Ugh!”
“Crap!”
The four girls who suddenly appeared fell from the air and hit each other in the face one by one.
As soon as they raised their heads, they confirmed where they were.
“Where is this?”
“Did we come to the right place?”
“It’s completely white. I can even feel the pain.”
“Besides, my hearing is fine. What the heck is this place….”
Despite being in an imaginary world, all senses were intact.
Since they had a prejudice that the spiritual world was no different from a dream, they were somewhat dissatisfied with whether this place was real.
But after looking around, the question was somewhat answered.
-As expected, there were uninvited guests.
A black figure spoke to me.
A being that has the form of a black human like a shadow, but whose body can twist at will like a liquid monster.
It was so disgusting to see the corners of his mouth going up on that pitch-black face.
“What is that…?”
“Is that the monster that’s eating away at Radon’s soul?”
Girls who intuitively knew that he was not a good person just by looking at his appearance.
And Mary immediately revealed horns on her head and took up a fighting stance.
“Friends, be careful. That guy… is very dangerous.”
“Yes, I’m neither human nor monster.”
Nevia also noticed his darkness with her saintly instinct.
Jenny, who still didn’t know, asked the black monster.
“Are you perhaps a monster trying to take over Radon’s body?”
-… .
“Where is the radon?”
Quickly return Radon’s soul and get out of the body.
There was no need to go that far.
-Radon Crowler… . Ah!
The guy’s black arms move like tentacles, bringing something.
It was the body of a man whose upper body had been split in two.
Their eyes widened when they saw it.
-Are you talking about this?
In an instant, the atmosphere became cold and an indescribable magical power swept over me like a whirlpool.
-Hahaha! Is that all your strength is?
But the monster just laughed at that.
-I am the being you call the God of Destruction.
Then, the black figure grew larger and larger, oppressing them.
-I’ll teach you what fear is.
