Chapter Title: Whoever you are, come on out.
Translator & Proofreader: TheDoru
ăNow I can finally go outside.ă
When I went into the magic circle on Aliciaâs behalf, I didnât think that I would be returning alive. But now that Iâve escaped from the castle of the evil god, Iâm slowly starting to feel like Iâve survived.
ăAnyway⊠I donât know how to open this iron fence.ă
Thereâs no keyhole, by the looks of it. The fence is cut into the ground, so maybe I can get it up by tweaking somethingâŠ.
ăLetâs just give up on that ideaă
Once I was away from the fence, I stacked crates on the wall next to the fence and climbed up.
ăItâs faster to look for another way out rather than forcing myself.ă
I can jump from this height because my status has increased. I tried to get down from the other side of the wall, butâŠ..
ăWhat the hell is this? Is there an invisible wall?ă
Something was blocking my way and I couldnât move forward. When I touched it, I felt a hard texture. It seems that there is an invisible barrier.
ăLetâs try slashing it with the divine sword Borumunk for now.ă
I took out my sword and drew it from itâs sheath. I held it wide and swung it down with all my might.
I feel the impact on my hand and it goes numb. It seems that this barrier cannot be broken by the divine sword.
ăCould it be that even if the evil god dies, this barrier still operates?ă
Apparently, the evil godâs house is well secured. If the sword with the highest attack power in my hand doesnât work, it doesnât matter what I hit it with.
I put my hand on my chin and I began to think. If there is an impact, it means that there is a substance. The problem is the hardness of it. If I can do sometihng about that, I canâŠ.
ăOh, yeah, thatâll work!ă
Once I came up an idea, I had to act. I activate the Evil Beam I had in my inventory.
Then I hit the invisible barrier and heard a âjabberingâ sound. It seems that I have successfully penetrated the barrier, and it widened the hole so that people can pass through.
ăAll right, Iâve managed to get through!ă
I turn around and try to hit the invisible barrier. I was able to get out safely.
ăHm?ă
I see some kind of distortion in front of me. Itâs just where I hit the Evil Beam.
ăI see, it automatically repairs itself.ă
I thought that if I left it alone, I could use it as an entrance again, but it seems that I have to lose one of my Evil Beams to enter again.
I may come back to it eventually, but Iâll deal with it when it happens.
This is how I left the Evil Godâs castle.
ăFor now, itâs important to know where I am.ă
I walked through the forest. Iâve been walking straight ahead for several hours since I left the Evil Godâs castle.
ăIf there was a village, I could ask someone.ă
But no matter how far I walked, there was no sign of anyone. If there was a village, I could ask someone.
Isnât it possible that the Evil Godâs castle is located on an isolated island and there are no humans here?
ăIf this is the case, please show me anything!ă
I havenât seen not even a small animal since a while ago. Iâm hoping to see anything that moves.
ââgasagasagasagasagasaââ
I heard some kind of noise. I hurriedly headed towards it. And then, after passing through the forest, I found a hall-like place and I saw there was.
ăAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!ă
A blood-red huge body that was over several meters tall. A horn extended from his forehead. A heavy club in his right hand.
ăI know I said anything is possible, but I didnât want this kind of thing!ă
I was furious at the monster in front of me.
ăUm, Iâm going to ask you just in case you missed it or something?ă
From what Iâve heard from people, the closest thing to the Titan in front of me would be an Ogre.
But the giant in from of me is clearly a size larger than the ogre and has a strange skin color.
ăAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!ă
ăI donât know what youâre talking about, but I know youâre not going to miss it.ă
After all, theyâre raising a club. Theyâre ready to crush me.
ăI survived the sacrifice ritual, but Iâm not going to die here.ă
It was the first humanoid monster I had ever met. Normally, I would be too scared to move, but the pressure of the monster in front of me was nothing compared to the Evil God.
There is still some distance between us now. If I ran into the forest, there was a good chance I could shake it off. Thatâs what I was thinkingâŠ.
ăHmm. Is thatâŠâŠ?ă
I spotted a human behind the ogre.
She was wearing a hood, so I couldnât see what she looked like, but from her build she looked like a young woman. 2
ăI canât just leave her to die?ă
She seems to be unconscious, but if I run away, sheâll feel prey to the ogre.
Iâll need to attract this guy and let her go.
ăI donât have a choice. Iâll deal with him.ă
I was so excited that I drew my divine sword and headed towards the Ogre.
