385 Dark Continent
I'm sorry for leaving you alone for so long.
……that? We should have been swallowed up by the space-time dragon, right? Before I knew it, the sacred dragon's transformation had been lifted, and I was supposed to be inside the space-time dragon's womb...
Before I could blink, I was first surprised to find myself standing in an unfamiliar place, then I was surprised by the density of the miasma that covered my vision, and finally I saw an eerie castle that seemed to have been carved into a cliff and emitted black-purple light. It makes me understand.
This place is not in the womb of the space-time dragon, nor is it in the Principality of Brange...
Like me, the masters also checked their surroundings and realized that this was not the Principality of Blanges, so they seemed a little confused, but they immediately began to be wary of their surroundings without exchanging words.
When I saw them, I was relieved to see that no one was missing.
So I raised my gaze, looked down at me from the air, and decided to call out to the Space-Time Dragon, the being that brought me to this place.
“This place is no longer in the astral world…Is it okay to understand that?”
``It's okay to understand that. I didn't expect the Evil God to be on the Dark Continent, so I brought him here by mistake.''
“You said you brought me here… Is this the dark continent sealed by Lord Rainstar?”
The sky is dark red, the sun is hazy, and the earth is parched and full of miasma.
I immediately understood that this was not a place where people lived, but I never expected it to be the Dark Continent...
"that's right. It seems that the evil god has lost more power than I imagined, so I guess he teleported to the Dark Continent in order to accumulate as much power as possible.''
“Regaining my powers means I don’t need that…ah.”
The Space-Time Dragon's words reminded me of the magic stone I had obtained when I defeated the self-proclaimed Demon King.
If that magic stone was necessary to regain the evil god's lost power, then it probably wasn't perfect.
It makes me want to sigh and realize that it truly exists in a different dimension.
If that magic stone had been crossed, I would feel sick just thinking about it, but I guess I should be happy that I was able to avoid it first.
Now, here's the problem.
The main god Crya told me earlier that this place is the Dark Continent.
Because of that, I had the impression that monsters and demons were all over the place, but I couldn't find them anywhere, and there wasn't even a sign of them.
On the contrary, the demons we were fighting earlier were nowhere to be seen, so I decided to ask them about it.
"What happened to those demons we were fighting?"
I was thinking of purifying it and saving my soul, but I couldn't find it anywhere.
``That's true, but those demons...dark continenthereAs soon as I entered, it disappeared. So I was careful, but nothing happened.''
I thought that the main god, Crya, could see everything, but I guess he's not that omnipotent...
Or maybe the evil god, who is the same god, has a better ability to hide things, so it might not be obvious right away.
The only other thing I can think of is that it might have something to do with the fact that there are no monsters or demons around, but this is just my imagination.
In the end, I guess it's true that you won't know anything unless you go to that eerie black-purple emitting castle...
“Actually, I wanted to go back to where I was instead of going to that creepy castle, but...”
“It is possible to teleport to the original continent.”
It's tempting to take advantage of the sweet words of the main god, Krya, but that's the same as giving the evil god time to accumulate power, so he can't.
That makes me very sad. in addition…….
"Even if you manifest as a space-time dragon, there will be limits. Will you fight alongside us?"
``Unfortunately, I won't be able to spend much time in the real world. So, before it disappears, maybe I can teleport it to that continent? ”
I listened to the words of the master god Crya, and when I turned my eyes to my masters, my master smiled, Lionel closed his eyes and smiled, and the Pope and Rumina-san shook their heads and then nodded.
Ah, I guess these are the kind of people with aspirations that appear in heroic tales.
I suddenly thought that and looked at the space-time dragon and swore that I really didn't want anyone to die, no, even if I had to lose my holy attribute magic again, I would never let anyone die.
"If the evil god could stay out of our world for the rest of his life, I'd really like to go back. I know that's impossible, so I really wanted him to help me more. ....You can't summon it again, can you?"
“Since it was in the astral world, I was able to respond to the summons, but it would be impossible to summon them again in this world...”
After all, even though he was dependent on the creator god, it was unreasonable to summon a god in the body of a human... Well, I guess I was really lucky to be able to try it out in the astral world. Thank you very much to the lucky teachers.
"By the way, if there was an evil god when you were summoned to the astral world, could you have sealed it or made it disappear?"
``Of course...'', I'd like to say, but even if I were summoned by this yorishiro, I would probably have done my best just to block its movements and prevent it from escaping.''
Sigh, that's unreasonable. Even though the creator god is the yorishiro, he still has to fight an opponent he cannot defeat.
"...Do you at least have any advice on how to defeat the evil god, such as its weaknesses?"
``Even if he's an evil god, he's still a god, so he won't disappear. Because He is that God, He also has limitations.''
I had only vaguely imagined it, but I guess it can't be made to disappear in the human body.
“What are the limitations of beings who can turn you into undead just by touching you?”
``The evil god's body is also dependent on him, and if he continues to lose his magical power and miasma, it will be difficult for him to manifest.''
“But wouldn’t that mean he would be revived immediately?”
``If you've done that far, you can leave the rest to me. It is our domain to remove foreign objects from the world.''
I want to believe in the words of Creation God Crya, but because his domain was invaded, an evil god appeared in Lord Rainstar's era and in our era.
It seems like I have to think about it just in case.
"I understand. We are now going to defeat the evil god."
"Luciel-kun and his friends, we asked for the fate of the world."
His words were very light, but perhaps because there was dignity in his voice, I felt like he was entrusted to me.
"Thank you for letting me escape from the astral world."
"Yeah. Oh, and you can return to the other continent until Yorishiro disappears, so if you think that's impossible, retreat.''
"I'll do my best to make sure that doesn't happen. However, if it does happen, I will rely on you."
``I was entrusted with it.''
After saying this, the space-time dragon drew a figure eight in the air and ascended into the sky.
I turned my gaze to everyone.
"I'm sure you heard, but apparently this is the Dark Continent. A fierce battle is expected, but you were able to warm up, right?"
"Ah, I'm finally getting warmed up. From here on, I'll kick the enemies away."
"Whirlwind, I can't help it, so I'll leave the small fry to you. Even the evil god will be a shield for Luciel-sama and the Pope."
"Well, I guess that would be better. What should we do about the Holy Knight girl?"
“If Senki-dono will take over the protection of the Pope and Luciel-kun, I will also expose myself.”
“Pope, are you ready?”
"Hmm. The world that father and mother protected will now be protected by the concubine and the concubines."
Apparently, their motivation is so high that there is no need to stir things up, and they are calm and able to decide on their own roles.
This is a situation where if I don't try my best, I'll be in trouble. That gave me a sense of security.
"Okay then, let's go."
"Oh!" "Ha!" "Yeah" "Um"
Then, with my master in the lead, we ran toward the castle that was glowing black-purple.
Thank you for reading.
I've managed to get back to writing, so I'm going to resume writing without pushing myself too hard.
