65 – His World (7)

The answer was actually decided.

I couldn’t go back now.

Because even if they said they were going back, the world was already on the verge of the appearance of the Demon King.

It is not certain whether I will become strong enough to skillfully use all the 7th tier even if I train like crazy for the rest of the time.

Actually, the only chance for me to defeat the demon lord was with 7th tier magic, and it was right to see that there was no chance of winning since it had been stopped for 8 years.

Of course, you can grow to the point where you can use 7th tier magic without the help of artifacts.

But even so, it was still unknown whether they would be able to stand against the Demon King.

It means that you can’t be sure of victory just because you can only handle the 7th rank without any actual combat experience.

Of course, even so, the people over there would be desperate for my existence.

“I… “

I was ready to spit out my sincerity, and I finally raised my head and looked at the three people.

All three were messy people who hadn’t been able to wash or eat properly for several days.

His hair was thick, and his skin, which used to glow white, was crumbly.

They must have been unpleasant, but they were still looking at me with earnest eyes.

Like a puppy abandoned in the rain.

As if waiting for a new owner, he was looking up at me with eager eyes.

Those three people’s eyes made my heart shake, but I closed my eyes tightly and opened my mouth.

This is correct. Because people have to live in their own place.

“I… not… “

“It’s okay, Ian.”

“No… ah… ?”

“I knew I couldn’t go. You don’t have to force yourself to say it.”

“Miya… “

I can’t go. I’ll prepare the magic, so leave by yourself.

I couldn’t bring myself to say it easily, but Miya interrupted me.

“I really don’t care about the continent’s future. This world seems a bit strange, but… I think I can get along well with Ian. I really came all this way because of Ian… Don’t tell me to go back It’s okay even if you don’t save the continent. I hate being hard on Ian. It would be even more difficult if we fought and died for no reason.”

“Miya… “

Miya took a step closer and grabbed her by my collar.

Eight years may have passed, but her eyes looking at me and her beauty were still the same.

Her smile was as bright as when she reached out to me for the first time in her slave life, and her eyes as she looked at me were warm.

“Me, Miya! Be mean to yourself!”

In Miya’s case, her mother is the leader of the demon tribe, and until she met her mother, she lived as a slave and didn’t have many ties, so she understood her choice to stay here. .

However, the other two seemed unable to declare it as easily as Miya.

In the case of Lorraine, there was a family to be responsible for, and it was safe to say that the future of the continent rested on the shoulders of that family.

It was clear that Kana would want to keep her barely won happiness with her father.

Both of them couldn’t do things like staying here saying that they would live alone, knowing that the other side of the world would perish.

“Thank you, Miya… really you… “

There was no one like Miya on Earth.

I have always been hit by competition in competition, and I had to lead a social life wearing a false mask to make myself known.

At some point, I started to make friends calculatedly, and I grew farther and farther away from my innocent childhood friends.

That was the reality on Earth, and it was the relationship and life in the desolate modern world.

However, Miyawa’s life was different from modern times from one to ten.

She didn’t count anything and met person to person.

Because we met as slaves, the bottom of the bottom of humanity, and started with nothing to hide from each other.

In a way, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the most sincere relationship out of all the relationships so far was Miya.

“… Okay. Let’s do it. Give me the artifact that stores that mana.”

“Mr. “

“TS… Me, I can stay too, but take a little time to think… “

“I don’t have time to think. Come on, give it to me. If we return at least a day soon, the chances of defeating the demon king will increase.”

“Me, I am not only a family business… uh, what? Defeat the Demon King?”

“Yes. I want you to be a warrior. Don’t you have time?”

“Eh, eh… therefore. Are you going back together?”

“Don’t make me say it twice. ‘Cause I’m leaving right now If you think about it a little more, you will change your mind.”

It could have been an impulsive decision. Perhaps.

Even this time, blowing away the job opportunity I had barely seized was probably a foolish thing.

But returning to that world again. She couldn’t possibly ignore that choice.

The sense that countless innocent lives are hanging on my shoulders. That I can save those lives.

And above all else, protecting the world of a precious person was worthwhile just for that.

After all, if you put your mind to it, you can come back. It will be difficult right now, but if you practice repeatedly, you will be able to return to the modern world at will without the Pearl of Yeohwa.

I didn’t want to worry about it any longer.

These uncomfortable feelings that have surfaced from time to time for the past 8 months.

I wanted to erase the cause of those feelings now.

“Just call the coordinates. I’m going to cast my magic right there.”

I put on the earrings of the Dearheart family and the Pearl of Yeohwa, which I had buried deep in the drawer.

Now, with this, it would be possible to cross the dimension with only the mana stored in the infinite fountain of mana.

“Ian… !”

I set the coordinates delivered by Lorraine as the destination and immediately started the calculation.

The mana stored in the artifact began to flow as if a dam had been opened, and in an instant the mana settled in my body familiarly and began to flow.

It’s been a while. The sense that the speed of thought expands rapidly and everything slows down.

Using the mana nestled in my body, I unfolded the thought acceleration I was accustomed to and started calculating.

As always, the moment when the complex calculation was completed and the mana formed a flower and exploded was the best feeling.

The light that covered me at the last moment in that world began to fill my small room this time.

***

“It’s great… Are you back?”

The same terrible headache as when I first crossed the dimension.

According to my calculations, the magic succeeded perfectly.

Me and the other three should have been accurately transferred to the correct coordinates.

“But here… What.”

I heard from Lorraine that the coordinates she specified was the garden of the Duke’s residence in the Dearheart family.

However, the place where I opened my eyes was in front of a temple that seemed to only appear in ancient myths.

The temple just floated solidly in the blue air, as if floating in the sky. I was the same too.

It was so huge that it was impossible to see everyone at once, but the atmosphere at first glance was definitely desolate.

The pillars that were supposed to support the temple were broken here and there, and like a waterfall flowing down, the remains of the collapsed temple were flowing down from one side.

It was quite a beautiful sight to see the remains of the temple floating in the air like a waterfall.

“Welcome. Warrior.”

“… Who is this!”

As I endured the headache and barely woke up, a voice came from above my head.

It was clear that this was an unusual situation, so I immediately raised my head in response to that voice.

“I called you to this world for the first time, yes. In the language of Middle-earth, is it a ‘goddess’?”

“Goddess… ?”

It was a light source rather than a life form.

At first glance, the shape was set as if it formed a torso and a face, but that doesn’t mean it has a human shape.

It was like a phenomenon that occurred because the essence of its existence could not be recognized properly.

“I have to apologize to you first.”

“An apple?”

If you are a goddess, it means that you are the one who chose me as a warrior to protect the continent.

Of course, it is true that I went through hardship there, but there was something incongruent about the goddess apologizing.

The reason why I went through such high school was purely because of the stupid imperial family there, and from the goddess’ point of view, I would have had to appoint anyone as a hero anyway.

“Right. In fact, as prophesied, about 10 years ago until the return of the demon king. In response to the summoning of the hero, we should have secured a hero who could stand against the demon king as the middle world.”

“Isn’t that why I went?”

“Of course it is, but there was a little problem.”

The existence of a goddess who came down to where I am and stepped on the same space started talking.

Since the eyes, nose, and mouth don’t exist, it just looks like a voice is coming out of the light source.

Still, the mystery in her voice convinced me that she was more than human.

“That’s why I couldn’t give the gift to the hero. Originally, you should have met me a long time ago. It means that I should have gone through this place at the moment I was summoned about 10 years ago.”

“… What?”

What the f*ck? I tried to say that, but I cut off the back words.

Then you mean that the logic of those idiots in the imperial family is all right?

“Didn’t you think it was strange? In the first place, the existence of a hero usually takes the form of fighting with a sword.”

“But if you interpret the prophecy, they say there is no such story?”

“That’s true, but prophecy has to convey a lot of messages with minimal language, so many parts are omitted. If you pour too much power into prophecy, there will be holes in other places. Instead, ancient stories spread throughout the middle world play the role of prophecy.”

“Then it means that I was hit by an alien with no powers.”

“That’s right. Still, you did very well. Even I didn’t expect that you could reach the 7th level. That area is an area that can never be reached in the middle world. It is a skill that is like a remnant of the power of the goddesses left over from the ancient war 10,000 years ago.”

“No, f*ck. It’s just calculus… Ha, no… I’m speechless, so I’m speechless.”

I thought it was a dream, but the sensation was clear.

So it doesn’t mean that I was summoned as a hero just by accident, who is fluent in calculus, and that I have reached the 7th level that humans can’t reach.

I wondered if being a goddess could be so irresponsible.

“We had no choice. But I could definitely say that I was lucky.”

“It couldn’t be helped?”

“You already know the story of chaos. Originally, at the time you were summoned, the chaos level in the middle world should have increased so that you could intervene to some extent in the middle world from the heavens. But contrary to expectations, at that point, the chaos level was thoroughly suppressed, and thanks to that, you had to be summoned without getting any gifts.”

Is it Lilithia?

A demon leader who shouldn’t have existed originally remained in the middle world, so the chaos level was suppressed.

And because of that, did you mean that there was no room for intervention in the heaven world to the extent that the gift could be handed down?

“I understand. It’s not a very difficult story.”

From the perspective of the goddess, there was no reason to lie. After all, they are also in a position to defeat the demons in the war.

Anyway, the reason why things turned out this way was all because of Lilithia.

Or should I just blame these f*cking incompetent goddesses?

It was just certain that it was a beggar world no matter what.

I just wanted to go home.

Honestly, because I couldn’t get the gift, I was angry as I remembered all the humiliations I had suffered, but I held it in.

The fact that the goddess called me even now must mean that she still has a purpose.

“Of course, apart from that, I’m angry. Still, she must have told me something. Would you like to give me a gift? sh*t?”

“That, please refrain from such words and actions. In fact, I still don’t have enough energy to drop the gift. No, there is, but now we have come to a situation where we have to intervene in the middle world in earnest, so I have to say that it is difficult.”

“Then what should we do?”

“One thing instead. I will tell you the location of the magic circle of the last 7th tier magic that humans have not discovered yet.”

“A 7th tier magic circle?”

“Yes. Originally, there would have been no existence among humans that could use that magic, even if it was a hero, but you would be different. The name of the magic is ‘Demon Lord Slayer’. The story related to him contains the story of a fellow member of the warrior party who sacrificed his life instead of the hero to target the demon king’s weakness.”

“If you have that magic, you can defeat the demon king.”

“That’s right. It’s definitely the devil’s weakness. Don’t worry about snowflakes. It is a magic that does not force any sacrifice on the caster.”

The magic that can defeat the demon king… I don’t get a sense of it, but it seemed like this was the only corner I could trust right now.

“There is just one thing that worries me.”

“What is it?”

“The place where the magic circle is located… It is the Devil Castle in the west of the continent.”

“… Demon King?”

No, damn it then.

“No, then f*ck it. It’s no use looking for it, right? I should have followed you before then.”

“That, so that… But for now, that’s the only way… “

“Ha, f*ck it… “

It is a magic circle to catch the demon king, and it is located in the demon castle. Then what do you mean by going to catch the demon king, finding the magic circle, and calculating it on the spot to defeat the demon king?

“How come there is no normality in this world? Normality.”

I thought humans were weird, but from the beginning the goddess wasn’t normal.

This is why all the humans in this world are stupid.
