134 132 Linford Destroyed (2/2)

All right, Ursi is on the rise, too. Plus two new skills. Evil sensing and evil resistance? I don't think Ursi took as much damage as Fran... No, wait. Is that the effect of predatory absorption? Skills that partly capture the power of predators. Only slightly in the last blow, but you must have mouthed Linford's flesh and blood. Maybe that's working. It's only a prediction, though.

Looks like there's nothing strange about it other than this for now, and I don't think there's a problem. Should I refrain from feeding evil people?

”I have to go to Zelaisse's next.”

(n)

But I don't know where. It hurts that Linford couldn't tell me where Zelaisse is. No, wait. You still had zero lead left.

”Is that it? Zero Thread, where is it?

”? Gone”

”Huh? Oh! You don't have a mad warrior!

Amanda, hearing Fran whine, looks around and screams.

When? We just attacked Linford. What the fuck?

”Maybe he's got some kind of recognition inhibitory skills.”

”Oh, there it is!

When Amanda looked at the one pointing her finger, there was a zero lead about 50 meters away. When did you get there?

He said, ”This time I got hit by that dog again! I was going to do it! But to some extent, I could eat the power of jizzy! I'll let you farewell here!

”Let him go!

Corbelt rushes out, but Zero Thread was one step faster.

”Ha! Zelise is in the Alchemy Guild! Goodbye!

”Huh? Is that a metastasis?

As Amanda was surprised, Zero Thread's appearance had disappeared in an instant. It looks just like the metastasis I use. I also used Linford, and maybe evil techniques have metastatic techniques. Seeing that I don't use it often, there must be some limitation.

”Shit. You're just a bounty neck who's been running away for a long time! Now I was gonna beat him up!

Did you let him get away with it? No, can we go after Amanda and the others if they help us? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no I don't know if Zero Thread's words are true, but he's like he betrayed Linford, too. It is also likely that Zelaisse and I know each other. If we were chasing Zelaisse, we'd loose our pursuit of Zero Thread.

”Still evil.”

All I could think about was Zelise and Zero Thread, but I remembered it in Fallen's words. With that said, there should have been an evil crystal left. Wouldn't it suck if I left that alone?

”There may be evil crystals left”

”What isn't that?

When Fran explained the evil crystal, everyone changed their complexion and started fishing for debris. Charlotte also comes and joins the search.

She seemed to have a pretty keen feeling about evil and quickly discovered the evil crystal. They were all under the rubble, but could easily be dug up with gumd earthwork.

”Is this the Evil Crystal...”

”Less evil than just now?

Yes, it is. Fran was right, when we destroyed Linford before he transformed, the evil crystal was largely diminished.

”Was this placed in the temple?

”Mm-hmm. Linford was ritual.”

”Really...”

”You know what it is? Charlotte?”

”Maybe.”

Charlotte said that a temple is like a device for communicating with a shrine. There is something like a path with the divine domain where God lives, and the temple and others are sent using that path as well. Changes in vocations can also be made by using that path to work and rewrite the reason of the world in the divine domain.

That said, it is God who manages that path, and ordinary human beings cannot use that path at will.

But by using this evil crystal and distorting the way, is it possible that you can come into contact with the evil gods that are said to be sealed in the divine domain? That was Charlotte's guess.

Amanda and Gumd conclude that Corberto and others speak the language of suspicion, but that there is no more chance than the power of the Evil God is unknown.

The evil gods who lost to the gods in the Great Old War were divided and sealed all over the world, but it seems that the parts of them that are said to be nuclear are sealed and monitored in the divine domain by God. To the extent that they are told in mythology. Maybe it's true.

Let's destroy this for now. Leaving it behind won't do a lot of things. Amanda and the others agreed, and we all shattered the evil crystal.

Well, now it's Zelaise who stays.

”Amanda, I need your help”

”Fine!

”Don't you have to ask me something?

”You're not turning down Fran's favor! So? What am I supposed to do?

That's so quick and helpful. Through Fran, I explained to everyone about Zelaisse. He said he was one of the masterminds of this one, he hasn't been caught yet, and he seems to be up to something.

”Alchemist Zelaisse... were you still in this town? You conspired against my brothers, and I'll pay you back properly.”

”I haven't heard your name lately, so I just thought you were screwed!

”If you go to him, you might have some crazy warrior bastards.”

”Even for the kids, he needs to be punished!

”Oh.”

Everyone seemed motivated. With all this face, captivity won't be long. We headed up Corbelt, familiar with the geography of the town, to run for the Alchemy Guild.
