Funeral, what should I do if I reincarnate as a demon?

"Master Ash, if you keep doing this, I will really get angry." Although his tone was normal, Philen's voice had become stern.

But he just waved his hand lightly: "Just kidding, even if I want to set a good example for you, I won't leave directly."

"Shouldn't you provide help directly at this time? Why did it become for me? .... I can't accept it." The straightforward words made Philen a little shy and a little upset.

But Ash didn't plan to say more, but smiled and ate other people's dinner by himself.

After a while, Zain, who was checking the villagers, came over with a distressed expression:

"...It's a bit troublesome. I can't find out what kind of curse it is. I just know it's a very special curse."

"It's really troublesome? Ash, have you done a lot of research on curses?" Fulilian slightly widened her eyes and subconsciously looked at Ash: "What kind of curse is this?"

"I've seen it among the monsters kept in the Kingdom of Ester. This should be the curse of the Chaos Flower subspecies."

"The Kingdom of Ester even has this kind of monster...? They are really not afraid of being attacked by the monsters." Fulilian couldn't help but frowned when she heard his words.

Even if she didn't have the help of the monks, she would be hit first and then killed before she found the other party.

Or even if the brave team didn't have Haita, they would face a monster like Chaos Flower. If they were not careful, they would be completely destroyed.

Because... even if they are in the village now, they are actually in the range of the Chaos Flower's curse.

And Fulilian could clearly feel that she was being attacked... but she had no way to defend against this kind of attack.

Feiren could also feel something unusual, but... if it wasn't for someone reminding him, he wouldn't even be able to figure out that he was being attacked.

She had no idea about the curse at all, and couldn't even find the source of the attack. This made Fulilian look at Zain, who was also still having a headache: "How is it? Do you have a way to remove it?"

"... It's possible, but it's very troublesome. It requires a ritual and some props. If possible, it's more convenient to directly solve the source of the curse."

"Can you find the source of the curse?"

"I'm sure of the general direction... It's better to say that this is the only way now."

Zain shook his head with a bitter smile, because now he just lacked enough props and didn't have the time to perform the ritual.

There was no way. Now the village was within the range of the curse, and it was taking effect now. Even if he could not guarantee that he would not faint if he slowly prepared the props and performed the ritual.

After all, the goddess's blessing only made him resistant, not that he could be immune.

It was too troublesome to use the goddess' magic to remove it, so after confirming the plan, everyone immediately headed towards the forest next to the village.

.............................

.............................

Because the distance was too far and the actual location was not very clear, the sky became completely dark as they shuttled through the forest.

At this time of nightfall, because they were magicians and monks, their physical strength was not much different from that of normal people, so they could only rest a little in order to prepare for the battle.

However, Ash had just built a bonfire to dispel the cold of the night, but he felt a tug at the corner of his clothes.

He turned around subconsciously and saw the purple-haired girl behind him who had already been drowsy. She was almost unable to open her eyes, but she was still trying to look at his figure, making a vague and uneasy sound: ".... Master Ash... What should I do? I seem to be unable to bear it... "

"If you are sleepy, just go to sleep first." Facing the uneasy girl, he showed his usual smile, put his hand on her head, and gently stroked: "Don't worry, I will wake you up when you sleep comfortably."

"... Then please... I will make... Master Ash's favorite... breakfast tomorrow..."

It was just a simple promise, and the anxiety on the girl's face disappeared completely. She unconsciously showed a reassuring smile and murmured like a dream... Although she lost consciousness before she finished speaking, her body also fell beside him.

But even if she had fallen asleep, that hand... was still tightly grasping his clothes, just like the uneasy nights when he was young.

Zain noticed this scene and couldn't help showing a surprised expression: ".... This child trusts you too much, doesn't he even doubt your words in this situation, and is really relieved?"

".... To be honest, I am sometimes a little worried about this child, Fen. I guess when he is deceived by this guy, Ash, he will foolishly find excuses for Ash." Flillian, who was taking a short break nearby, looked at him sideways and couldn't help shaking her head repeatedly.

"What, envy?"

"Maybe a little... But I am more worried about what will happen to this child when you die; I have a headache just thinking about it; after all, even if Fen and I have a good relationship, I don't think I can replace your position in her heart."

"What are you talking about?" The strange worry made Ash shake his head and laugh:

"Everyone is irreplaceable in the hearts of others. I can't replace you in her heart, right? There is no point in thinking about this."

"....Is that so? It seems so." She watched Ash cut off the corner of his clothes, carefully placed Philen by the tree, wrapped him in a sheet, and cast a barrier.

Although she was still a little worried about the future, she couldn't help but smile teasingly: "But you can say such reasonable words, it's really rare."

"...What kind of role do I play in your heart."

"Well..." She tilted her head and thought about it, but did not give an answer. Instead, she looked at Zain and asked: "Speaking of which, Zain, can't your magic temporarily wake up Philen?"

"It's a bit difficult. Without the ritual and necessary props, it can only wake up... for about 5 seconds at most?"

"Then don't use it now."

"I think so too."

Looking at the girl who fell asleep peacefully, as a person who had not fallen asleep yet, Zain now looked worried.

There was no way. Even though he knew Fulilian was very strong, it was hard for him to feel at ease in such a scene. After all, he and they had not yet established a deep friendship that could trust each other in such a situation.

.............................

After Ferren fell asleep, the three of them did not rest for too long. In order to avoid the situation becoming irreversible, they forced themselves to speed up their pace and cross the jungle again at night despite their tired bodies.

Zain in front tried to find the source of the curse, and he couldn't help but feel nervous. He said without turning his head:

"-- We are almost there, the reaction is very close! It's nearby!"

"Is that so... Then, Zain, wake me or Ash when you find the monster... You are a monk, fighting is not your strong point..." Fulilian, who was just holding another corner of Ash's clothes to block the current, seemed to be about to collapse. She lowered her head and gave the last advice:

"Don't fight it alone... I or Ash can go anywhere... Even if it's five seconds... I can definitely do it..."

Before he finished speaking, Zain turned around in surprise. Before he could say anything, Fulilian fell down like a kite with a broken string.

But before she really fell to the ground, she was picked up by the quick-eyed Ash, who put her under a tree and cast a protective barrier, complaining:

"...Really, since you can't hold on, why didn't you say it earlier, so I have to cast the barrier twice?"

"Uh... um??"

Zain looked at his complaining face, opened his mouth and hesitated for a long time, wanting to say something but not knowing how to say it. After a while, he suddenly realized the source of the discomfort that Ash brought to him.

In this case, they are all magicians and monks, but if they are warriors... I'm afraid they will faint after walking around the village.

But Ash is not only fine in the village, but he has been walking in the forest for so long that it's already dark, but he still looks lively.

Zain, who just remembered that he should be a warrior, was dumbfounded:

"——That's not right! You are a warrior, right? Why are the magicians of the legendary hero unconscious, and you, who don't have any goddess protection, can still stay awake??"

"Didn't I tell you? I actually know some magic." Ash answered casually with a nonchalant look.

But in fact....he is not completely supported by magic power, it is purely because the bodies of demons have a strong resistance to this kind of curse. After all, they can't get the goddess's protection or use the goddess's magic. If they don't want to be bullied to death by this kind of monster, they naturally have to have similar resistance.

He couldn't explain this, and Zain.....

He didn't believe that this so-called "a little bit" could reach this level, and even suspected that the excuse this guy made was an insult to his IQ.

Ash's casual answer made Zain feel fooled, and he couldn't help but want to rush up and shake his shoulders.

"A little? Really just a little? Is it really that serious?"

He just shouted a sentence like a complaint, but before he could ask in detail, he felt the ground shaking, as if something was getting closer.

This made Zain give up investigating further, but he looked around cautiously, without turning his head, and said: "Is it really okay to leave it to you? Let me make it clear in advance, I only know a little bit of the goddess's combat magic, don't expect me to defeat the monster that can cast this level of curse."

"It's okay, I will find a way to solve it at the critical moment."

"No... As expected, I'd better take Fulilian with me." Although he seemed to be really confident, Zain entrusted his life to him:

"With such a strong magician like her, I can feel more at ease... Although I can only make her recover for five seconds."

"You really don't believe me."

"Do you have any very impressive achievements?"

"No, but we are all companions, you should have a little more confidence in me."

"-No! What if you can't do it, then the village and I will be finished!?"

.......

Although he could resist the curse, Zain had no choice but to put all the important things on the fact that Ash might be strong... He excitedly asked to take Fulilian with him.

This made Ash a little helpless. In order to reassure him, he could only remove the barrier and directly pick Fulilian up.

He didn't explain to him... Sometimes it's more dangerous to have no reputation, just like the nameless big demons are basically dangerous.

.............................

Zain, who was walking in front, took out the holy book and walked in front again carefully. He kept trying to calm himself by taking deep breaths, and looked around nervously, searching for the monsters that seemed to have appeared nearby.

However... the other party did not disappoint him.

Not long after, his eyes locked on the real body of the monster that released the curse in an open area - it was undoubtedly, as Ash speculated, a subspecies of Chaos Flower.

Its shape is bizarre and spectacular, with a huge colorful flower blooming on the top, green vines below, and branches and leaves at the end. The overall configuration is like a "standing" octopus, which is both weird and shocking.

Although this creature obviously belongs to the category of plant monsters, and its height is only between two or three floors, it uses its seemingly weak branches and leaves as feet, slowly gliding on the ground, and its body is shining like a mirror.

"——Three shots of the goddess!!"

Even though he was so nervous that he was sweating all over when he saw the other party, Zain did not hesitate to open the holy book in his hand and release his most proud attack magic when the other party seemed to notice him.

Three bright golden lights cut through the air, pointing directly to the core in the center of the petals, trying to hit it with one shot.

However, what was shocking was that this seemingly clumsy and heavy chaos flower actually closed the small opening between the petals in an instant.

The three leaves quickly blocked the petals, accurately blocking the incoming golden light.

Then, the golden light was refracted wonderfully, scattered in the surrounding forest like a meteor shower, leaving a series of dazzling and short tracks.

"——How is this possible?! It can actually reflect magic?!" Zain was slightly dazed, and suddenly turned back to look at Ash, only to see that he was slowly putting Fulilian in his arms on the ground.

Seeing this, Zain couldn't help but get anxious about his lack of tension, and couldn't help shouting loudly: "——Don't be so slow with Fulilian! It can reflect magic! Hurry up...!"

"Okay, okay, don't be so nervous, didn't I say I would take care of it?"

Ash shook his head helplessly, and when the Chaos Flower noticed him and slapped him with a leaf as big as a car, he casually waved his palm.

In an instant, purple lightning surged out like a torrent, tearing the tranquility of the night.

Boom——!!!

The leaves, which were originally as smooth and flawless as mirrors, collapsed and disintegrated under the abnormal pressure.

The scene of destruction spread all the way, and the terrifying destructive force oppressed the earth while "devouring" the "delicate body" of the Chaos Flower from the front without any hindrance.

.............................

.............................

In just a moment, the Chaos Flower seemed to have encountered an unreasonable and huge force, and was completely dismembered from the front.

Yes, the scene was as literal as the meaning, which was jaw-dropping.

Zain was almost ready to mourn for Ash. After all, using magic to deal with the monster that could reflect magic from the front... was almost the same as seeking death.

But the development of the situation was far beyond his expectations.

He witnessed the earth collapsing under the Chaos Flower, and the huge body was crushed into pieces without any resistance, deeply embedded in the soil, and completely lost its vitality.

Outside the abnormal gravity pressure area, the dust and sand rose up, and the Chaos Flower was squeezed by a powerful force, just like a hydraulic press squeezing an octopus. Outside the gravity restraint area, the internal organs were naturally flying everywhere.

The scene created by just a simple blow explained the destruction and devastation, which made Zain, even as a friendly, feel tightly bound by fear, and his heart was indescribably shocked.

Whenever he recalled this exaggerated scene that seemed to tremble both physically and mentally, he was a little speechless for a while.

After a long time, Zain recovered from his dumbfounded state, turned around with an unbelievable expression, and looked at Ash, who seemed to have done something insignificant, and his voice trembled unconsciously:
