Abandoned Priest at the Hero’s Party

Visit of the Evil God

When I heard that I wanted to participate in the Battle of Suwang, my heart sank. That is a dangerous challenge. Even if you succeed somehow, you never know if it’s worth it.

This fight must be conducted fairly. Only Loka cannot fight with the aid of divine power. A large number of people gathered and it was impossible to deal with Epirna.

Only by himself and alone, he must overcome Epirna to qualify as a new beast king.

When I saw a child who was not interested in the position and was about to challenge the king, my heart also became disturbed. However, it seemed that Roca had his own thoughts as well.

“You seem confident. right?”

“I’m not quite sure.”

He pricks his ears and smiles hehehe. Still, it was nice to see the confident confidence in those eyes.

“I don’t know if I will win, but I don’t think I will lose. That’s for sure.”

That’s what I’ve been saying, and I’ve been told not to do it. It’s what you think and decide for yourself.

When asked why he had changed his mind, the child only smiled and did not answer. Still, it was certain that there had been a change of heart.

“If you really want to go on a battle of water kings or something, you have to make sure you do it right away. Be sure to come back and win. I didn’t teach you much, but I was your first teacher.”

At the words of the princess, Roca inflated her cheeks. At first glance, he looked dissatisfied, but his expression changed abruptly in the following words.

“Azahadaka-sama… Ah, now the dog has taken it. Anyway, he said that Epirna had a strong magical barrier. Your sunset slash did cut it once, but it probably had been restored by the time the battle was over.”

“Ah, I see!”

As if reliving the battle from a while ago, Rocca’s expression became serious. It happened from a distance, but I certainly saw it. Even though the line of sunset drawn in the air clearly cut Epirna, it was distorted and flowed by something intangible.

“That’s a barrier made by magic… Could Epirna be able to use magic too?”

“He never showed us how to use magic while fighting us. But you’d be right to assume you can. If you can create a barrier, you can definitely do other things.”

“She couldn’t use magic. But I can’t be sure of this either. All my memories are now a thing of the past.”

Leon, who was passing by, interrupted our discussion. Rocca muttered with a still unsettled look.

“Your words are out of date and close to fraud. It’s not a mirror that’s closer than it looks, it’s several times stronger than what you said.”

“Ugh…! I have nothing to say.”

“Then it is better to assume that you can use magic for now. The question is what level of magician you are…”

When you think of a wizard, the first person that comes to mind is Parnell. Oldman Top Lord was only face-to-face, and although Grimudo was a wizard, he did not use magic very well.

In fact, except for the dragon, the originator of magic, he would be the strongest wizard, but the word “Demon King” is much more appropriate for him than a wizard. There are plenty of other skills besides magic.

“I’m not sure he’s a mage on the same level as Grimudo or Dragon, so it’s better to assume that he’s a human archmage. It would be better to overestimate it a bit than to underestimate it.”

Of course, there was a possibility that the barrier that Epirna was using was not her own power, but now is not the time to take effect by hitting the enemy. First, you need to estimate and prepare for the opponent’s strength as high as possible, so that it will be easier to fight face to face.

Assuming that Epirna has Parnell-class magic skills, things become quite difficult. Loca will have a really tough fight.

“It doesn’t seem like he was hiding his power that much, but for now, let’s assume it is.”

“Then, first we need to think about how to deal with Epirna using magic between attacks…”

Rorka broke a branch of the shrub and began to write on the stone with the power of magic in it. Every time I squeaked it, the stone was engraved little by little and the letters were written, but I didn’t write very well.

“Epirna’s mysterious ability to recover. We need a way to stop it or seal it.”

The princess pondered and said, If Epirna can’t prevent her from recovering her power by some unknown means, Roka’s options are greatly reduced. If you go to a long-term battle, you will lose due to lack of magical power, so you must unconditionally seize a win within a short period of time.

“It doesn’t matter anymore.”

But at this point, Rocca shook her head. The boy replied in a confident voice.

“If it were me now, I wouldn’t be pushed back by fighting with her strength. Even if the fight is long, there is no problem. I will not be defeated for that.”

“Then, all that’s left is Epirna’s Light Geumganggi. If we find a way to deal with the power of Kang Ki, we can try to win. The important thing is that she now knows some of your tricks.”

As Leon said. I also added a word.

“Because we can’t conclude that what she has shown us is all she has.”

It is difficult to find an existence that clashes with all of them from the first fight. As I felt in the demon realm, what even demons who couldn’t even reach the axis of the demon king often had was a trump card.

It was impossible for an existence of the same phase as Epirna not to have such a thing. The princess thought deeply and said.

“I was overwhelmed by the dragon sword, but it seems that the gongsword was a bit eaten by the light sword. It’s the kind of attack that toughness can’t stop.”

“So?”

“Gongsword is a skill that does not require qualifications, bloodlines, or public technique. You’ve probably seen me use an empty sword a few times, so maybe you’ll be able to use it to some extent.”

Even if it is difficult to use it as a main weapon, it means that there is nothing wrong with having it as one of the conversions. Leon said while scratching his chin.

“Don’t do this. As promised, I will teach you how to sign language. There is less than two weeks left until the battle, so you can learn that much by then.”

“…I’ll just practice on my own.”

“What? No, this is a really great secret, isn’t it? Yamma, if the Lions had not fallen, there would be no reason for me to say this. Is this something that needs another trick?”

“In such a great way, why did you lose to Epirna?”

It was Rocca who stabbed a painful wound, but in fact, it was worth it. Because Leon-san was already branded as a liar in the child’s mind.

“After all, there are limits, isn’t it?”

“Epirna… No, because sign language has been handed down to tigers as well.”

No one pushed him, but after taking a few steps back, Mr. Leon, who sat down on the floor, muttered.

“In the end, we lost, but the important thing is that Epirna also knows the secret of sign language. you don’t know This could be the deciding factor at the decisive moment.”

“……”

“Anyway, the remaining time is not enough time if you are trying to practice something properly. Your level is so high right now, in fact, even if you dig into something for two weeks, it’s hard to advance your skills.”

the child admitted nodded.

“In that case, I’m just saying, wouldn’t it be better to learn a new skill called sign language? Sheesh. Now that the beast people have fallen, there are people who shake their heads even if they tell you the secrets of the clan.”

“I don’t think it’s bad to try.”

He slowly approached Rocca’s back and patted her on the back. The boy opened his eyes wide and looked back at me with a bashful smile.

“If you learn the basics, then you can use the power of the seedling to reach higher places.”

You have subjugated Death Worm, one of the monsters that have been infamous for a long time. Of course, we did not subdue alone, but we subjugated together with three people, so we have to take that fact into account, but even so, it must have accumulated a lot of karma. This means that the seedlings are eligible to be used again.

“I wonder if there is any meaning even if I learn it…”

The child who had been scratching his head still glanced at Mr. Leon with a look of disgust, then nodded reluctantly.

“I’ll listen to it anyway.”

It was an expression of contempt.

*****

-hi?

When Rocca left to learn sign language, and stayed in the hut for a while, contemplating.

An unexpected guest appeared in front of me. When she realized that it was a woman, not me, reflected in the window, she had already entered the hut.

“I didn’t know you would come to me.”

– You don’t welcome it?

“Is it possible? A simple visit is always welcome.”

I’ve been looking for Yanid nearby for a while, but I can’t find it. It seemed that he had manifested away from her for a moment.

Oberta’s floating spirit body looked at me and smiled. That’s weird. He probably doesn’t like me that much.

“By the way, what did you come here for…”

-Yes, you. Everyone I met was asking about the North Pole. But he didn’t even ask me. thank you i know So I came to you myself.

It doesn’t look like you’re really here to joke, are you really here to tell me?

“Has the evil spirit ever been to the North Pole?”

-right. So you probably know the Arctic better than you do.

We wouldn’t be that close, which is strange.

– Let’s start with the conclusion. I want you to go to the North Pole once. Neither I nor the Demon King could even set foot there, but if it were you, it would definitely be possible.
