Alexios, who was firing bombs nearby, started to argue, as if he was annoyed.

“By the way, you bastard, what the hell were you fighting with?”

I didn’t like that attitude, but it’s true that it’s helpful, so I’ll be honest.

“Pyeongwang Thanatos.”

“I know that, you’re asking why that bastard is staring at you like he’s going to kill you.”

“Oh, was that what you meant? You should have said that from the start.”

I’m still breaking out in a cold sweat because of [Myungwang] who is getting closer and closer, but I’m talking strangely.

I’m in a hurry, so I’ll keep it simple.

“I provoked you.”

“That’s why it’s drawn on my head… … .”

It’s good that I understood it at once, but it hurts a little when I say that.

Doesn’t it sound like I’m just such an outgoing person?

But if you think about it, that impression is correct. Because I’m playing the arrogant and aristocratic Oz.

“Come to think of it, I’ve been wanting to ask you for a while, but what the hell is that strange and ignorant magic?”

“It’s magic for planning. don’t mind.”

“I mean the plan… … .”

Of all the magic I know how to use, this is the only one that is most effective.

And there are a few reasons why this magic is necessary.

“But whatever the plan, if it’s like this, you can’t stop him. Can’t you see that bastard is getting stronger in real time?”

“… … .”

Myungwang’s body was gradually evolving from a skeleton as his morale increased.

Now, metallic armors are beginning to form over the bones.

Maybe sooner or later we’ll even have weapons.

“hey.”

“wait.”

Unlike me, Alexios had no penalty, so he must have realized how dangerous the opponent was.

Of course, there are fewer non-threatening entities to me.

“Do we have to buy time until Arrieta comes?”

“yes… … . We need Arrieta’s help to defeat that thing.”

The Dragon Emperor does not come to [Myungwang]’s side to fulfill my request.

In order to resolve the current situation, not only Arietta but also Eleanor’s strength was needed, but that amount of information would be enough.

“Isn’t it pretty lax for the plan you’ve made?”

“It’s because of you… … .”

Originally, there was a separate place to use the [Ruler of Mana]’s guaranteed draw.

As a result, it could be said that the point of the plan itself was twisted because of Alexios.

Thank you for helping me like this, but I hope you don’t find fault with my plans.

“Are you saying that the plan was twisted because of me? That’s good.”

“What?”

“Then I’ll give you some time.”

At the same time as he said that, Alexios escaped from the area of the [Flaming Cloud and Thunder Regime] and rushed at the [Myeongwang].

“Surely strong.”

It’s on a different level than when I was dealing with you. The power of [King of Fist] without penalty could be said to be beyond imagination.

It was the [Myeongwang] wearing the armor before I knew it, but I wasn’t worried.

“Would you be okay with an attack like that? yes?”

“cheeky!”

Alexios has powerful long-distance attacks, but is basically a warrior character whose role is to break the opponent’s formation.

Of course, close combat is stronger.

“Sigh… … !”

bang!

The [Great Collapse] used in melee state knocked [Myeongou] off balance and knocked him over.

Alexios immediately began pouring attacks toward the defenseless upper body of [Myungwang].

but… … .

“Chit! After all, are my attacks not enough to pierce the fraud?”

“It’s time out.”

Squak-!

“What?!”

The huge sword that formed in the hand of the [Pyeongwang] cut off Alexios’ ankle.

That’s not good.

The ankle, which is the basis of movement, was cut anywhere else.

With this, Alexios can no longer actively step forward.

[The Ruler of Mana Lv. 2]

[2/100 until SSR grade magic confirmed]

Use [Master of Mana] to help Alexios exposed to the onslaught of [Myeongwang].

The mana, which had been draining away rapidly, escaped in a lump.

[Blue Fire Line]

Fortunately, the protruding high-level magic blocks [Myungwang]’s pursuit.

It retreated at a speed unimaginable for its size.

“Well? Was it simple magic?”

“Aren’t you ashamed to call yourself the King of the Underworld when you’re so cowardly?”

When you open your mouth, provocation automatically comes out. Is this guy’s snout real?

『… … I will send you to the most painful place in ＜Underworld＞.”

“under! They said it was a provocation, but that face made me angry!”

“If you have time to talk, avoid it, Alexios.”

I was lucky.

I tried to keep my composure, but I couldn’t evaluate it that way.

In fact, no matter what magic came out, it wouldn’t have had a big impact.

The reason this method worked was because [Myungwang] was wary of me.

I, who insisted on [Wizard’s Gear], used magic in a different way, so [Myungwang] stepped down.

With a sidelong glance, he examines the condition of Arietta and Eleanor.

Eleanor was still gasping for breath and Arrieta was singing incessantly.

It won’t take long… … .

“This one won’t take long either.”

Alexios is in a hurry to dodge the [Pyeongwang]’s attack.

I went to catch my ankle and got my ankle on the contrary, so there’s no way I can help anymore.

Still, Alexios is trying to buy a little more time.

Lucia, too, stopped shooting that didn’t work and walked around in front of [Myungwang]’s eyes to distract her.

『The Revelation Comes Down』

At that moment, a clear voice began to resonate throughout the battlefield.

Arrieta, who finished Eleanor’s treatment, began to sing the magic with all her might.

『I declare this land sanctuary in the name of God. So, all wrongdoers face their own sins.”

SSR Rating. That, unlike me and Alexios, was the special move of Arrieta, a priest character who was treated as active even before I became possessed.

『Repent.』

As the chant ends, the wings of an angel, the symbol of God’s representative, spread behind Arietta’s back.

[Recipe Sentia]

Arrieta’s power, with 12 pure white wings sprouting, began to color the surrounding area as her domain.

As the influence spread, the morale of [Myungwang], which was eroding the surroundings, began to decrease noticeably.

Of course, that’s not the problem.

『A saintess?!』

An extreme among extremes.

At this rate, the door connecting this world and the next world will close again.

If so, what will [Myeongwang] do?

The only options left to him are to use more force to maintain the door and give up and return.

But I don’t want to see [Myungwang] choose the latter.

“That’s stupid. Well, you should have been looking around.”

Hit him unilaterally and run away? can never forgive

Because [Myungwang] was arrogant, he didn’t look around.

Except for me, who pushed through the provocation, and Eleanor, who used unknown powers, it was just ‘other’ things.

Then you have to pay the price for ignoring it. Where are you going to run away?

“Do you think I would be afraid of a girl who is not God, not even the Pope, but his agent?”

“yes? Can you hear the sound of eyeballs rolling from here? are you thinking right now? Aren’t you thinking that you should do something about Arrieta first, not me?”

“jackanapes. There is no need to make such a provocation. There is no change to the plan to kill you first.”

provocation

Due to [Myungwang]’s personality, he won’t be able to take his eyes off me even if I scratch his pride a little bit.

“You are good at talking about topics that have not even reached me.”

provocation

In order to hide another dagger that I have hidden, I need to catch [Myungwang]’s gaze.

“If you are confident, come and see.”

calm your mind

I spin the [Wizard’s gear] faster and wait for him.

No more magic ejection. Only rotates the largest gear on the outside to collect mana.

[Myungwang] starts running towards me in a menacing way.

As if it were a heavy tank, it ran towards me while ignoring everything around me.

“… … Lucia.”

“What are you thinking, Prince Oz?”

“Remember what I said earlier?”

At my words, Lucia stiffened for a moment. Then she said in a terrified voice.

“You were looking all the way here? If that’s true, Prince Oz, you’re quite the madman… … .”

After that collapsed murmur, Lucia headed in the direction of Eleanor with her characteristic nimble body movements.

don’t shout

She is none other than the most intelligent of the group.

The fact that [Pyeongwang] still doesn’t pay much attention to Eleanor’s existence means you know how threatening a weapon it can become.

“Noah… … .”

“Lucia?”

Lucia, who approached secretly but swiftly, began to hesitate for a moment.

There won’t be time to explain.

Time would be too short to explain all the points of the plan at this moment.

“That… … .”

So I told her in advance the most precise words she had to say.

In fact, it was a word that was tantamount to insurance, but at this moment, there was no more reliable means of delivery than this.

“Dye everything with your presence.”

“… … !”

As soon as Lucia delivered those words, Eleanor started running towards me.

“Are you ready to experience death?”

“Well, I guess not yet.”

The [Myeongwang] who had arrived in front of me before I knew it, raised his sword high and declared.

This moment is your last chance.

“The stage is complete. So show me that you are the main character, Noah.”

“Yes, Master. thanks.”

“What… … ?!』

Eleanor, approaching behind me before I knew it, thrusts her sword into the center of the [Wizard’s Gear].

The reason I was maintaining the inefficient [Wizard’s Gear] was no different.

Because that was the magic that used the most mana.

Arietta’s divine power and Eleanor’s blow, which contained most of my mana, swelled up, dyeing the morale of the King in its own color.

“Marie, wait!”

Eleanor shouts.

Her greatsword pulverizes the sword of the [Myeongwang] that is being struck with all the mana of my magic.

“Now I’m going to break that nasty bastard and get him out!”

And as if Eleanor’s greatsword wasn’t enough, it pulverized even the bones that were wrapped around Marie, including the armor of [Pyeongwang].

The stronger the opponent, the stronger the [Understander’s Key] that absorbs that power and dyes it in one’s own color.

“Give it back!!!”

『Kwaaagh!』

[Myeongwang] screams.

He devoted too much of his soul to resisting Arietta’s [Recipientia].

The influence must have flowed through the soul and reached the body.

“number of animals! come out!”

“Noah… … ?”

Eleanor tramples on the wreckage of [Myungwang] that has been smashed and reaches out to Marie, who was crouching inside.

It looked as if he had come to make a life-and-death decision, but it must have a different meaning to the two of them.

“Sorry… … .”

But Marie shook off that hand.

Something is strange.

Marie must have known better what the situation was going to be like now.

Wasn’t she actually connected to [Myeongwang]?

If so, she must have known at least that the [Myeongwang] was mortally wounded.

As a result, the [Myeongwang] will be exposed to numerous threats, and the fact that her family will also be safe… … .

“No, no way… … .”

What if the connection with [Myeongwang] hadn’t been severed yet?

The moment I remembered that assumption, a deep morale began to rise from the incarnation of the [Myeongwang].

“Noah, get away!”

“Yeah?”

『Do you know how I maintained my position as Myungwang?』

At that moment, the incarnation of [Myeongwang], which should have been destroyed, struck Eleanor with its huge hand and sent it flying.

“Kuu?!”

“Because I did not accept defeat. I kept this position because I did not choose the means and methods.”

Eleanor’s attack power is outrageous, but her durability is different.

She only temporarily became stronger, but in terms of defense, she is still only at the level of an R-rank character.

“Because of you, my plans have completely gone awry.”

The plan was obviously successful.

『So here I will do my best to teach you defeat.』

But it was too successful.

In the game, [Pyeongwang] had successfully left Tia in digging into the secret she was hiding.

But this time, [Myungwang] couldn’t get even a single advantage.

“This crazy… … .”

[Myungwang]’s pride was more dangerous than I could have imagined.

He intends to win the present victory without thinking about the future.

『Open.』

The ability of the key possessed by [Myeongwang] Thanatos is the [Immortal Key] that erases the boundary between this world and the next world.

『The Boundary of Life and Death.』

＜Underworld＞ began to invade this world by dyeing it black.
