140 Resurrection of the Reaper (1/2)

Black haired wise man Chiyuki

Through the Hapi we go to the heart.

'What's this?! Is there a hell of a lot of magic (mana) flowing in?!

I let out a cry of surprise.

As I was climbing the stairs to the heart, I felt a powerful flow of magical power (mana).

'Oh, Chiyuki. That's a hell of a lot of magic (mana) ....... It looks like the enemy is doing something up ahead. Hey, Tona. Do you know what the enemy is doing?

Tona shakes her head when Rage asks.

'I don't know. But I have a bad feeling about this.

Totoona gingerly grips the cloth of Medjed next to her.

Totoona must be anxious about what is taking place down the road.

'But we'll have to go,'

We proceed.

At the top of the stairs, we reach a room that is about two sizes smaller than the large Happi Room.

This must be the Heart Room.

There are several people gathered in the center of the room.

'The serpent prince. And that one in the center?

There are snake princes in the room, naturally, among the hapi.

And it seems there are a few I've never seen before.

However, the one I'm most interested in is the man in vestments who is sitting in the center of the room.

The man wearing a mask that resembles a spider.

We met in the basement of Rox's kingdom before. He was the one who was with the Serpent Queen in the skies above the labyrinth.

''Yes, Raige. I'm sure it's the masked man. It's the god of death, Zarxis.

I glare at the reaper.

”Hm. Come on, you brave souls. But it's too late. The regeneration of my body is almost complete.

Zarxis laughs.

'Physical regeneration? Maybe that's why you took the lives of so many sacrifices.

Zarxis nodded at Tona's words.

'Exactly. You are a goddess of the blood of the abominable Mina. The pyramid you took from that foolish prince was useful. It amplified the life force of the sacrifice so much. But perhaps because I pushed them too hard, they don't seem to be able to last much longer.

Zarxys looks in one direction.

There is something like a sarcophagus placed there.

That glowing sarcophagus seems to be sending power to the magic circle where Zarxys is sitting.

However, the sarcophagus is cracked.

Maybe there is a keystone in there.

So the pyramid is no longer needed: ......

'That's right. Brave girl.

With that, Zarxis stands up and removes his spider mask.

I gasp as I look at his face.

The left half of his face looks like a well-groomed human being and the right half is an ugly monster.

The ugliness of the right half seems to stand out because the left half of the face is well-groomed.

'I see. ....... I'm sorry to play it back, but I'm going to have to break it again. Don't you dare run away.

Rage points the Sword of Light (Clave Solish) at you.

”Rest assured, brave man of light. I will not run away. I think it's better for you to think about escaping than that, don't you? You better watch!

Zarxis shouted and an image came to life.

The image showed the outside of the pyramid.

'That's the Snake Queen! And what the hell was that number!

I look at the image and scream.

The image shows the Serpent Queen and a number of oddities, confronting Halseth and the others.

'You diadna! That's pretty fast! Don't you people think you can get away with it!

Zarxys laughs.

It's a bad situation.

A cold sweat runs down my back.

'Come on! This pyramid is no longer needed! Baig! Destroy the pyramids! Let's get the men out!

Zarxys shouts and a huge man in armor comes out.

He has red eyes and canine teeth coming out of his mouth.

He is probably a vampire.

The vampire destroys the sarcophagus.

When the sarcophagus is destroyed, the figures of Zarxys and the others suddenly disappear.

''The magic is going out of control? The pyramid is going to explode!

Tona shouts.

'Mr. Rage!'

I know, Chiyuki!

Rage shoots a light cannon and makes a hole in the wall of the pyramid.

Quickly, we jumped out of the pyramid.

That's the moment we escaped from the pyramid.

The pyramid explodes with a roaring sound.

'Rage!

Tonaan! Medjed!!!!

Ishtia and Nell rush over to us as we land in the Gypseal camp.

“Rage. I'm glad to see you're okay. I'm glad.

Oh, Ishtia. But I don't think you're safe yet.

Rage looks at the snake queens.

There are quite a few of them.

Most of them are probably evil gods. We also see Guiltal in Lavrus.

Most of these are mammies.

Zarxis, the god of death who has regained his power, doesn't know the strength of the serpent queen Diadna.

Still, on the other side is Lavrus, who seems to be the incarnation of violence to Guiltal, who was no match for Shirone and Nao's two men.

That alone seems to put us at a disadvantage.

''Ishtia-sama. Apparently, they are using magic to block the transition. It's hard to escape with magic, you know.

Pistis suddenly appeared and reported.

'This monkey god really is a godsend.

'Yes, Pistis. It's going to be hard to escape. Isn't it, Hal? What are you going to do?

Ishtia turns and looks at her son and calls out.

'I will not run away! Mother! The rulers of Gypseal cannot turn their backs on it!

Halseth's words made me wince, oh! I almost say.

You seem to have a few bones in your body.

But things are bad right now.

The pyramid has been destroyed by the enemy, and our first priority here should be to retreat.

'Master Halseth! We should pull out of here! If we don't, we will be wiped out!

As I thought, Isdes advises us to retreat.

'What are you talking about! Isdes! They won't let us go!

Halseth glares at the snake Diadna and the others.

'Halseth! Do you hear me! Hand over Ishtia and Totona to the authorities over there! And then we'll let the rest of them off the hook!

Deirdona calls out to Halseth.

Deirdona is hostile to the gods of Elyos, but she may not intend to be hostile to Gypsir.

So she demands that the two goddesses belonging to the gods of Elyos be handed over to her.

'Handing over your mother! There's no way you can do it!

As expected, Halseth refuses to do so.

It seems he wasn't the kind of guy who would abandon the cats, but not even his own mother.

''I see! Then I'll send your head to Sekhmetra! Gentlemen of the Apophis League! Overrun those gypseals!

Deirdona raises her hand and the evil gods come towards us.

''Rage!

Ishtia looks at Rage.

'Leave it to me, Ishtia! I will protect the goddess of Elyos! Come out, Benne!

When Rage holds his sword in his hands, he summons a higher spirit of light.

A bird that glows like the sun appears in the sky filled with dark clouds.

''O light wings of radiant fire!

Rage shouts and Bennu flaps his wings.

Wings of light spread out and fall on the evil gods.

The screams of the evil gods can be heard.

Even if they can't be defeated like the Great Sand Worm, they can be blown away.

''Let's keep going!

Rage rushes into the evil gods who have flinched at Bennu.

He swings his two swords and cleaves the evil gods away.

''Nonsense!

What strength!

I'm no match for you!

The evil gods run away from Rage, screaming.
