The Great Ancient Wizard, Enter Additional Scenarios (4)
“It’s the power of the Devil.”
Cattleya murmured while trembling.
“The Devil is striking a barrier all over the Demon Realm…he’s taking direct action. This is ridiculous.”
“The Devil himself?”
―This is a big problem
―What the hell is going on? Is it because of the Spirit World?
―But he was neglecting it all this time?
―That’s right, did the Spirit World feel more than he was willing to accept?
Cattleya, as well as other Succubae, were panicked even though it was no big fuss. Meanwhile, Evan’s party looked at him in unison.
“Oh, what now?”
“Isn’t the causal relationship too clear? You destroyed the tower by killing Imma and also the dragon, and then you beat the Samma guy…so, the Devil got pissed and opened a barrier to confine you here?”
“As an authoritative priest, I have to say that that is for sure.”
At times like this, Aria was on Leo’s side to put Evan on the spot. Evan wanted to refute, but he kept his mouth shut, recalling that it was very rare for the Devil to directly move himself.
“Maybe you’ve done too much?”
“I haven’t even started.”
It was so unfair for Evan. Even if Evan has done this in the Demon Realm, the only thing he had done was kill two of the big-shot demons plus 100,000 Demons! Of course, he destroyed the tower that was believed to have been built by the Devil himself and robbed the Hell Ruby from him. Well, that might have been a little harsh.
“By the way, it would be convenient for us to organize the Demon Tribe.”
“Wouldn’t it be possible to break external barriers if it were you, Master?”
At Maybell’s words, Evan nodded.
“But if that happens, it’s like signing up for a match with the Devil right now. It’s possible, but I don’t want to do that right now.”
Not only have they not yet secured their own armament, but this place was the Demon Realm. That meant it was a space where the power of the Devil was extremely strengthened. He didn’t have to rush to fight in the environment that was most unfavorable to him.
“What are you so worried about? Didn’t the Demon Tribe earlier say that there were 2 Demons organizing them anyway?”
“That is also true.”
“Then that is that. If something really happened and the Demons couldn’t be sorted out… even if they joined forces with the monsters of the Spirit world to become even stronger monsters, we can still deal with them. Rather, the experience we can get from them will increase.”
“Hmm, indeed…!”
After all, the protagonist of Yo-Ma Great War 2 was different. The idea of deliberately neglecting to evolve mobs and getting more rewards by catching them was an idea that was difficult for people in this world to do!
“After listening to Grandpa Leo, I think that would be better. I’m worried that it won’t go down the way I want it to, but I just need to keep Rose alive somehow.”
“It’s a troublesome problem, but it won’t be impossible to solve. At least that would be better than having a fight with the Devil right here and now.”
“Good idea, Grandpa Leo.”
Receiving a respect-filled glance from Evan for the first time in a while, Leo shrugged his shoulders while coughing. Cattleya looked at them from the side and looked puzzled.
“You guys, why are you talking about fighting the Devil? Don’t know what the Devil is? Are you idiots?”
―The Devil is an absolute existence.
―The only being with the same power as the creator.
―The Devil is irreversible. You would have no choice but to refuse and die or reluctantly follow him.
The Succubae were very good at speaking. However, Evan knew very well that the Devil wasn’t an absolute being. Anyway, it did take damage, although it was immune to poison. It ignored most other abnormalities too. And his HP bar is so long that it looks like it would come out of the screen. Even with the power of the Great Ancient Wizard, the official fraud character of Yo-Ma Great War Zero, he was only sealed!
“We will take a closer look at the Devil later, but let’s get out of here for now.”
“We can’t go out because there is a barrier, so you really are an idiot.”
“Maybell, I will leave the kid’s etiquette education to you.”
“Oh! Master, you’re accepting the wish I longed for!”
Maybell smiled as she clung to Evan. Her smile held a sense of relief that she had a relative advantage over the woman she thought was a new competitor. After seeing that, Cattleya finally realized that the Succubus queen, whom she feared most, was following the orders of that handsome man.
‘He doesn’t look so strong on the outside, but how the hell? Hmph, no way!’
Cattleya was frightened and fell back from Evan with a growl.
“It’s like a real cat that is scared of people.”
“I am a Beast! Not a cat!”
“Okay, then I will open the entrance.”
Evan opened the entrance to the Necklace World, feeling a little resistance. Was it because the situation was in the subspace of the Succubus? If not, because of the Devil’s barrier on the outside?
“Let’s move quickly.”
“Yeah!”
As Maybell exuded her magical power, the palace of Succubus rose again in the air and rushed at full speed towards the entrance of the Necklace World. In the meantime, two small shadows fell from the palace. It was said before, but there was still a guy who didn’t come out and held on. When Evan looked closely, both were small cats that had pure white fur. Yes, it was the same color as Cattleya’s ears and tail.
―Meow!
―Meow!
“Meow-one, Meow-two!”
“Her naming sense is similar to Serena.”
Cattleya ran eagerly and took them into her arms. You mean those guys are also Beasts? In many ways, it couldn’t be a visual that deviated from expectations.
“Okay, then I’ll put the palace in.”
―The palace really disappeared!?
―How did you do it, Queen?
―What is this hole? How did you break through the barrier of the Devil?
“Just get in instead of asking questions.”
Maybell kicked the Succubae with her feet and pushed them into the gate. Maybell turned so violent against her people, Evan gained some new information. Looking at the side, there was the figure of Cattleya trembling while watching the Succubae getting sucked into the gate.
“You go in, too.”
“No, no! If I go out of here, I’ll die.”
“So you’re going to be left here alone? I would rather run into a new environment.”
It was easy to say that Evan would protect Cattleya, but it was also easy to actually protect her. But Evan wasn’t a philanthropist, and he never thought of letting his power roll around in the corner of the room.
“Woo…”
Cattleya cried and ended up taking a step back.
“I’m sick of just being swung around by the situation…”
“If you don’t like it, you just need to be strong. I’ll tell you how.”
“Well, I’m sure!”
Really. However, her experience of being buried by reason was quite new, so Evan decided to stop taking favor with her with sweet words or actions. It wouldn’t be bad for one of them to have someone begging Evan like that.
“So, you won’t go in?”
“I’m going in!”
Like an adolescent girl, Cattleya jumped into the gate, getting mad at nothing. Evan thought about something alone and blankly muttered again.
“No, she really is a teenage girl.”
“I am only three years old now. It’s too early for puberty.”
“…Three years old?”
“Yeah. Didn’t you know?”
Do demons have the ability to guess each other’s age at one glance? But wasn’t she too young!
“And they were aiming to make such a child into their wife, these bastards…?”
They were all Lolita Complex criminals who need to be locked up in a cage!
“Because there is no order or law in the Demon Realm. It really doesn’t matter how old you are to have children. Our way of thinking is different.”
“You are a demon, too. Don’t bury it gently.”
Since Evan’s very young age, he remembered that Maybell crossed the boundary between legal and illegal things.
“Now, we also go in. For some reason, even opening the Necklace World like this consumes a lot of energy.”
It would be right to say that it was the feeling of indirectly competing for strength with the Devil over the barrier. The Devil was clearly aware of his existence now. That fact made Evan a little creeped out and a little excited.
‘Sooner or later, sooner or later.’
His performance in the Demon Realm was a bit insignificant. Still, it could be said that he got the Hell Ruby and killed two of the top-ranking demons, so he got everything he needed. Now, returning to Middle Earth and proceeding with the scenarios that need to be carried out, the military was also cultivated to be usable…
Once he saw the real serious monsters in the Spirit World and took care of them…the time will come when he would meet again with the Devil.
“I’m finally out of the Demon Realm.”
“The Demon Realm… I thought this epic adventure would end by killing Queen Rose.”
“I can stop looking at the red sky now? How exciting!”
“Ok. Let’s eat something delicious when we go outside, Lian.”
The Arpeta family first crossed the barrier. Evan looked around the subspace of the Succubus with nothing left and then looked back at Maybell and Mirole, who remained next to him.
“Let’s go, too.”
“Okay, Zero.”
“Yes, Master. I think I need to hurry.”
Mirole first clung to Evan’s arm. However, Maybell stuck to Evan’s remaining arm and looked back with anxious eyes at the subspace where they had been staying.
“I think it will collapse here soon. If it weren’t for us, of course. If it weren’t for us, the Devil wouldn’t have done that in the first place…those Succubae may have died here with Cattleya.”
