398 Now is not the time to cry
The battle between Rainstar and the Evil God was so shocking that it was unrealistic.
The moment the evil god spread its wings, Brodo and his friends definitely felt the presence of the god of death and the approaching despair.
However, that feeling disappeared in an instant, as if it were a hallucination.
Before I knew it, a loud explosion shook the air above me, and Rainstar, who had been by my side until just now, was far above me.
"Hahahahaaaaaa... Shit! I'm pissed at myself for being satisfied with just getting stronger."
The first person to open his mouth was Brodo, who tried to give a half-smile as if he were stunned, but his frustration oozed out.
“Whirlwind, Lord Leinster must have put a limiter on that one too.”
Lionel also feels frustrated as he wonders how he can reach that realm.
"That's why. If Luciel's body can fight that much, it means we can become that strong too!"
As warriors, Brodo and Lionel were intently looking up at the sky, trying not to miss any of Rainstar's movements.
In a place a little far away from the two, the half-demon god Avarost was also looking at the mythical battle, praising his bravery as a warrior and not choosing to antagonize Lord Rainstar.
(I never thought that humans had the potential to become that strong... Well, humans can only live for a fleeting time, which is less than a tenth of what we do. If we continue to defeat the evil god, they will live as promised. Let's rule this dark continent while we're at it)
While the two warriors and the half-demon were fascinated by the battle between Rainstar and the evil god, the Pope believed in his father, Rainstar, and Lumina was only concerned about Luciel's safety.
"Father is the only one who can fight that evil god. Luciel must have realized that."
"That's not true. Luciel-kun was just preparing for the worst situation."
The Pope seemed a little excited, but Rumina, who knew Luciel's thoughts and determination, tried her best to hold back the mixture of various emotions that brought her to tears.
The evil god spread its wings again, reminding everyone that this was still a place of death.
However, Rainstar once again blocked the attack, but in return he was captured by the evil god.
There, we were made to realize clearly that we were in limbo.
Even so, they can't do anything but become mere bystanders watching the battle between Rainstar and the Evil God.
That fact made everyone's mouths heavy, and all they could do was pray that Rainstar would win against the evil god.
I was so helpless, but maybe that's why my prayers worked.
Rainstar released golden magical power, overcame the desperate situation, and blew the evil god out of their sight.
But no one was happy about it. Because he realized that Rainstar didn't have the luxury of having to blow it out of sight.
Among them, there was only one person who was willing to take action.
“Pope-sama, please reapply the magic that has expired.”
"Rumina, I don't think you're going to chase after me, are you? The concubines are already tied up."
"I have no doubt that Lord Rainstar will defeat the evil god. However, Lord Rainstar resides in Luciel-kun's body. If the evil god is defeated and Lord Rainstar disappears, what will happen to Luciel-kun! ”
Everyone was stunned by Rumina's words, which sounded like a scolding. And the half-demon Avalost was no exception. There was a high possibility that Luciel's promise would be broken if he lost his life.
"I understand. But I won't allow you to approach me until the battle is over."
“I understand.”
I understood that even if I wanted to get close, I couldn't. Still, Rumina followed Luciel's example and assumed the worst.
"I'm going too. I don't want to lose my apprentice."
“I don’t want to lose my master either, so please give me some magic.”
Looking a little embarrassed, Brod and Lionel offered to accompany him.
"It can't be helped. It looks like the concubine will have no choice but to go as well. [Many spirits, gather under the concubine's magic power, feed them, and grant them the power to ward off evil presences and impurities. Holy Attribute Grant]"
In this way, I completed the minimum preparations using magic granted, and used the Pope's spirit magic to fly from the castle to where Rainstar and the evil god had moved.
"We'll have to see what happens with the promise."
The half-demon Avalost said this, generated miasmatic wings of magical power, and flew away from the castle together.
The battle between Rainstar and the Evil God was fierce, and the sound of explosions that shook the air could be heard many times.
However, just as the sound of the explosion suddenly stopped, the sky split open and the space-time dragon appeared.
Everyone was surprised by this, but now that they knew the exact location of Rainstar and the Evil God, they decided to approach as far as they could without interfering with the battle.
Then, the evil god attacks the space-time dragon without any warning, but Rainstar just watches from the sidelines, and everyone is confused.
After that, red-black lightning strikes the space-time dragon several times, but Rainstar just stares at the evil god and the space-time dragon, showing no signs of taking any action.
I couldn't understand what was going on, but when I thought that Rainstar finally started to move, it slashed at the evil god and the space-time dragon with a golden magic sword that had grown so large that it looked like it could cut through the sky. It was gone.
The group froze on the spot due to what had happened, but that was short-lived as they were unable to maintain flight in the face of crushing pressure that they had never felt before, and were dropped to the ground. Oops.
The saving grace was that he was flying at a low altitude to avoid getting in the way of Leinstar, so he probably didn't get hurt.
The pressure never goes away, and I remain unable to do anything, barely able to breathe.
I'm not sure exactly how long that took. It just felt like everyone was being held down for a very long time.
Until that moment comes...
Up until now, I had been inside a wall that gave me a sense of security, like I was being watched over, but now that wall suddenly disappeared, I was crushed by the pressure I had been able to withstand until just now.
Various negative emotions dominate my thoughts, and I feel like I'm forgetting the purpose of my life, and tears overflow. I felt like I was going crazy from the endless despair.
Even so, everyone was able to endure somehow because they felt the magical power of the people they had raised, watched over, trusted, and loved.
However, that magical power seemed like it was about to disappear at any moment, but it still felt like it was shining brightly, as if it was burning up all its life without giving up.
The pressure they had been feeling completely disappeared, and light illuminated the dark continent, but everyone lost consciousness and hurried to the falling Luciel.
And Rumina was the one who flew to Luciel before anyone else and cradled him lovingly.
However, Rumina's face quickly turned pale.
This was because there were countless holes in Luciel's body, and he was bleeding from all of them.
Although there were exceptions, it was common knowledge that recovery magic was useless if you lost too much blood.
Rumina immediately activated recovery magic and hurried to the Pope who was the only one who could activate recovery magic more powerful than herself.
The Pope was also surprised by Luciel's terrible condition, and immediately used spirit magic to encourage Luciel's recovery and succeeded in closing the wound.
However, as his magical power was depleted and he lost too much blood, Luciel never regained consciousness, and his pulse was so weak that it could have stopped at any moment.
Rumina and the Pope, who learned that Luciel was a reincarnated person due to the evil god, shed tears, saying that Luciel had fulfilled his mission by risking his life to defeat the evil god.
However, this man was the only one who would not allow Luciel to die before him, regardless of whether he was a reincarnated person or not.
"Are you giving up and crying? Ha, if this guy regains consciousness, he'll probably do something on his own. If that's the case, what we should do is not wait for him to die, but try to awaken his consciousness even a little."
Brodo said so and told everyone about the strategy to restore Luciel's consciousness.
When Lumina and the Pope heard about the plan, they tried to get angry at Brodo, calling it an unbelievable act, but Lionel had heard about Brodo's plan and had already finished preparing for it.
"As long as Luciel-sama is saved, I don't care if he gets scolded later. Besides, I don't think Luciel-sama will end up in a half-hearted place like this."
In the end, Rumina and the Pope had no choice but to agree with Lionel's words, and since they could not think of any other plan, Brod's plan to awaken Luciel's consciousness was carried out.
