67 – Not just once (6)

Ardel, who was rescued thanks to Reinhardt, expressed his gratitude.

“Oh, thank you.”

“matter of course.”

Reinhardt looked away after receiving his thanks.

The city was in chaos.

No matter what Argal did, the number of tentacles was significantly reduced, but they were still causing great damage.

Reinhardt made a decision after much thought.

Anyway, Argal’s battle is not an area that can help.

Rather, even the tentacles that were collapsing the city had to be slashed in order to rectify the chaos.

“I intend to kill more of those tentacles. Ardel, what are you planning to do?”

When asked, Ardel also fell into trouble.

I want to help my brother

But it lacks power.

He didn’t even have the ability to fly into the air, and that didn’t mean he had the confidence to defeat the Black Pagoda Master.

But should I stay still?

“…I want to watch more.”

The situation seems to favor Argal a bit more, but we don’t know what will happen in the future.

At that time, I wanted to help in any way possible.

Because it’s his brother, because it’s his family.

I had to protect

Reinhardt did not deny this choice.

He nodded and moved to sever the tentacles.

It was an excessively tough tentacle, so there was no one other than Reinhardt to defeat.

Of course, Ardel is not an idiot.

Standing in the open can be dangerous.

Just like I was attacked by tentacles a while ago.

He tried to hide through the rubble of a collapsed building.

Seeing the opportunity, I plan to help when I can.

As I was moving like that, I heard something from under the rubble.

“Is there anyone up there? Get me out of here!”

“…Raeli?”

The voice was too familiar.

Ardel remembered that she had been away for a while.

I didn’t know what purpose it was, but why was it still inside City Hall?

Wooddeuk-

With all her might, she pulled out the large rubble that had imprisoned her.

Although Raeli’s strength is on the strong side, it was difficult for her to push the wreckage alone.

Fortunately, Ardel was able to clear the wreckage.

Raeli, who barely died and came back to life, felt the joy of returning to life with her eyes full of water.

She expressed her gratitude as she climbed out of the pile of crumbles covered in dust.

“Gee, I really thought I was going to die. Thank you. brother.”

“What the hell were you doing, trapped here?”

“I was in the bathroom for a while, but of course.”

Ardel knew roughly what that meant and kept his mouth shut.

It would be rude if I asked more.

Anyway, there was another important thing.

When I turned my gaze, the battle situation had changed again, and there were three demons standing next to the Black Pagoda.

“…Devil?”

“Now, wait a minute, what the hell happened?”

“I don’t know either.”

If one thing is certain, it seems that even Argal, who was stronger than the Black Tower Lord, was helpless in front of the devil.

When the demon moved, Argal had to stand still, unable to do anything.

Even watching that, I felt ominous, and I tried to come up with a countermeasure somehow.

Raeli asked Ardel.

“Is there anything I can do to help?”

“I do not know.”

It was the first time I had ever seen a demon with my own two eyes.

A fairly high-ranking demon, too.

Besides, as if this wasn’t the end, the black pagoda owner threw an object high into the sky and covered the surroundings with a black film.

Raeli was startled as if she knew what this was.

“This… .”

“You know what?”

“I’m not sure, but it’s a fairly strong barrier. To a level that can’t be penetrated unless you’re a hero or a transcendent.”

“Then no one can escape, and no one can help?”

Raeli sighed and nodded.

It’s such a barrier.

Virtually no one could get out of here.

Besides, it seems that the Black Tower Master is trying to do something to Argal.

She began to concentrate fully, and Argal, too, closed her eyes and passed out.

I don’t know exactly, but it seemed like a really dangerous situation.

“This, if I don’t help, it will be in big trouble, right?”

“I guess so.”

Ardel drew his sword.

Even if he died here, he was determined to save as much as his brother, and he tried to move forward.

Jerebuck-

Then, when he felt a presence behind him, he immediately turned around and held out his sword.

Ardel then immediately withdrew his sword.

Because I knew who it was.

It was Fran who approached right away.

The only problem is that it is covered in slimy mucus all over the body.

“There is a way.”

“F-Fran what’s that like?”

“While trying to get there as quickly as possible, we encountered a tentacle monster… . Even if it’s me, Raeli, why are you like that?”

Both girls were not in very good shape.

Frank didn’t care, and muttered as he looked at the demons standing still.

“I staked my soul.”

“…You risked your soul?”

“Yes, if this is over, the owner of the Black Tower will have his soul split by the demons and suffer forever, but I don’t know why he made that decision.”

Warlocks are rational monsters.

Always look for practical benefits and do not do anything that causes harm to yourself.

So, no matter how dire the situation, he did not sell his soul.

Because handing over the soul meant suffering in eternal hell.

So Fran felt strange.

If there’s a reason a warlock makes a deal like this, it’s obviously because there’s a way to circumvent the contract.

However, it was not possible to hand over the soul.

Destruction is predestined after death.

But now that doesn’t matter.

She explained her method.

“As the value of the soul is great, the demons are completely subordinate to the Contractor and will do whatever they tell them to do. So it’s dangerous.”

“So, isn’t there a way?”

“I have it. If the contractor is fully focused like that.”

Jerk, jerk.

Frank stepped forward confidently.

Ardel and Raeli freaked out and tried to stop her, but she was faster to get ahead.

Fran appeared before the demons, but strangely, the demons didn’t do anything.

“Be still, are you there?”

“It’s not like you’re doing what the devil didn’t tell you to do.”

Ardel nods here.

“Then there must be a way.”

“I still don’t know how things work.”

However, Raeli was confused as if she couldn’t understand.

Here Fran explains in more detail.

“The devil moves according to the contractor’s orders, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t do what he’s told.”

“I know that.”

“And what if the contractor is left unprotected?”

“Because the contractor can’t make the demons do anything… .”

Raeli also finally understood and said happily.

“So you’re saying demons are defenseless? Then, can we attack the Black Pagoda Master at this time?”

“That doesn’t work.”

Fran shook her head.

If it had gone so easily, Fran would have attacked the Black Pagoda Master with all his might.

“Because the devil at least has a duty to protect the contractor.”

“Then what about attacking demons?”

“The devil doesn’t actively move for the contractor, so if they attack them, they will of course counterattack.”

“What, then it doesn’t make any sense.”

Raeli was happy for a while, but when she realized that there was hardly any breakthrough, she was sullen.

Looking at Raeli, Fran sighs.

“Take an idea. What if we prepare to attack, not attack?”

“Ready to attack? Is that okay?”

“Ardel oppa and Raeli bring Argal out somehow. As soon as the Black Tower Master comes to his senses, I will prepare the most powerful magic that can be fired.”

Unbelievable magic power surged through her body like an explosion.

Her necklace was connecting the amplification beyond the limit.

“You know how powerful a prepared mage’s attack is, right?”

Enough cast time, perfect close range, and defenseless opponents.

In this state, if a powerful bomb was detonated right in front of the nose, how could it not work?

Even though the demons know the reason that there is a high possibility of hurting the contractor at the end of the process of preparing such magic, they will still stand by.

There is an obligation to prevent an attack on a contractor, but there is no obligation to prevent an attack from being prepared.

“So please protect Argal as much as possible.”

“…Okay, but what about you?”

“I have a way to live.”

If there was a problem, she too could fire the strongest magic at close range.

If the magic exploded there, not only could it not succeed, but if it was severe, it could die.

However, Fran saw.

The image of Vesiah risking her own life to stop the Black Tower Lord.

Rather, because of this, the dark magic of the Black Tower Master prevented the destruction of the city.

Then she will have the same heart.

Otherwise, the answer was non-existent.

Even in the terrible agony of mana running rampant in his body.

because she smiled

“…Isn’t this why everyone resembles Argal?”

is this the worst

If you can’t handle just one Argal, and everyone becomes a sacrificial psychopath, that would be a bit terrifying.

Still, I am willing to move on.

She prepared the strongest magic in her life.

Black Tower Juice connected my mental world.

In order to steal someone else’s body, the method of forcibly embodying the world of images that had not been realized and digging into it was used.

…So, the world of images that I couldn’t see even after transcending the past was placed in front of my eyes.

I’ve always wondered what my image would be like, but to some extent it was as expected.

“Are you being abused?”

The Black Pagoda Master muttered that while looking at my image as if he felt the same way.

“No, if I had been abused, I wouldn’t have had such a wide image, but why the hell is there such a hellish space?”

“Well.”

The image world was collapsing.

It was as if, together with the hero, the bloody battle with the demon king had ended and the world was being destroyed.

That said, my mind was collapsing.

The more you gradually regain your emotions, the more you get out of madness.

Unable to bear his own sins, he was gradually disintegrating.

“If this condition continues, you will die mentally.”

“Is that what you think?”

“Even if it’s not trivial, aren’t things easily solved anyway? With such a weak mind, it would be easy to take your body.”

smiled a little

My image, unless it is directly composed by a transcendental person, reflects my mind and memory entirely.

So, the Black Tower Master must have looked into my past indirectly.

If you dig deeper, you’ll probably find out before the regression.

I wonder what kind of evaluation the Black Pagoda Master would make if he looked at my life.

I wanted to correct her misunderstanding.

If it was to collapse, it would have collapsed long ago.

But I am not dead, for I am immortal.

The madness that dominated the mind made it impossible to break it.

In this process, the vessel called the spirit became hardened and widened to the extent that it was too excessive.

Even if your mind is cracked and only a future that will gradually collapse remains.

Hundreds or thousands of years had to pass before this spirit collapsed.

Just because there is a hole in the tank containing the sea, how much time will it take for all the water in the tank to drain?

Even so, can you really break the water tank that holds the sea?

Some time passed, but the image did not change.

She too was perplexed as if she felt something strange.

“Wow, how big is it? I still can’t control the image… .”

In the meantime, when I snapped my finger, her whole body was torn to pieces.

She couldn’t even scream and disintegrated into thousands of pieces of flesh.

The world of images came completely into my hands.

Originally, the Black Tower Master who composed the world of images would have been able to manipulate my images.

But the imagery was so broad that I failed to steer it before I took full ownership of it.

I thought as I lifted my hand once more to regenerate her.

Until you run away from your image, I’ll make you feel the pain of hell.
