31 Episode 31: "Former Demon King, Meets Previous Enemies" (1/2)
─ ─ Yuki perspective (behind the cave in a few minutes) ─
It was a dead end.
The aisle stops here. There are no branches or anything.
So this is the deepest part of the cave?
”Ha...... ha. The other two haven't arrived yet.”
”I knew this was the right place for a goal”
”That's right. Anything suspicious?
”I heard about the Cave of the Holy Sword, so I thought you had something like that”
”I do. Here.”
Odette pointed to the corner of the wall.
From the rock wall, the gripping part of the sword was protruding.
”This is the Holy Sword?
”You said it was sealed, right?
”How did you get here?”
”It is said that it was embedded here by a priest who feared the power of the Holy Sword. No one saw the main body of the sword, and you can't pull it out in the first place?”
”Sounds like some pretty shitty 'antiquities' to me.”
”It's none of our business what the top magicians leave behind.”
Odette-Sray shrugged his shoulders.
”More than that, the exam is our victory”
”Oh. You're annoying. Odette.”
”... no, because I was just running normally”
”I don't know because the undead moved strangely from the middle of nowhere”
”Yes... the motion has stopped.”
After halfway through the cave, the undead began to ignore us.
It's as if you're hearing voices that only sound undead.
”Anyway, that concludes the exam. Sorcerer DeMetel. Have you seen it? It was Odette Slay and Yuki-Grossalia who won!
Odette is waving all over the place.
Sorcerer DeMetel's use. There must be demons out there somewhere......
”Ooooooooooooo!!
Instead, from the entrance, I heard a voice.
Zilvan-Keels...... no, is that Guyel-Wolfgang......?
”Oh, looks like the other two are here. I'm sorry to hear that. This is where me and Yuki...”
”Don't move! Odette.”
Who is it? Who's this black magic guy?
”It's not Zilvan or Gayer that's getting closer”
”What are you talking about!?
”That's a ghost. No, exactly, someone possessed by the Ghost.”
…………
Odette set up his sword.
They figured out what I was trying to say.
”What is this magic? It's too strong for the dead.”
”Top Ghost...... I guess Leis or Specter. I can hear footsteps. Someone's possessed.”
From the corner of the aisle, a figure emerged with a grey robe.
It's Gaiel-Wolfgang.
Behind me... there's a shadow floating like a dokuro.
”I ha... Seventh Priest of the Church of the Sanctuary - - Rogluel -”
Shadow said.
”In response to the summons we left behind in the often” ancient sorcery ”... came. The Holy Sword that we found... will you give it back?
”of the 'Church of the Sanctuary'... said he was a priest!? Who summons magic here!?
”The Zo Who Kills Akelo on the Road.”
Around the gayer, an ice blade rises.
That's the spirit body. Fast activation.
They're drooling their magic. Can you supply magic directly to sorcery?
”- Shall we!?
”Back off, Odette!!
I activate Boosted twice.
Drop the ice blade with a super reaction.
”Ho............ and the magicians of this era............ pretty fucked”
”... the dead don't bother the living.”
Seventh priest of the ”Church of the Sanctuary”.
... Speaking of baron territory, you were about to use 'Ancient Magic', where the teacher Kahle summons these guys. To that end, he was using his magic powers. In the end, the magic failed, though the priest of the 'Sanctuary Church' did not appear.
Did Guyel use 'ancient magic' similar to that on this occasion?
In this giant dungeon, Elusion, we hear that the people of the ”Church of the Sanctuary” once lost their lives. I mean, their souls are still in this place. Using the 'ancient sorcery' of summons, there is ample possibility that you can summon it as a ghost. It should take less magic.
But... how did Guyel get this guy?
Was it an accident, or was someone ordering you?
The guy from the time I lived, or the guy who was appointed after that?
Either way...... gloomy.
”Church of the Sanctuary”... the man who treated me like a monster in my previous life... and hunted me down... is here.
”Stay away from him! Yuki-Grossalia, Odette Slay!!
”I wonder what's going to get the dead out of the lady's exam. Ahhh!!
I heard a scream.
At the same time, the sound of skeletons blowing up.
Beyond the herd of undead were the sorcerers DeMetel and General Barnes.
DeMetel unleashes his magic, and Barnes comes this way, waving an axe.
”Make way for the general. I will stop that Necromancer!!
”I understand!!
General Barnes wields a long-pattern axe and plunges it into a swarm of skeletons.
”Geaaaaaaa!!
With the screaming, Skeleton and Ghost disappear. The road opens.
There, the magician DeMetel ran through.
”Stay away from my students, Necromancer! Activate” Minatofu Tsu ”!”
DeMetel's magic was activated.
An iron Ibarra, born from the ground, surrounds Gaiel-Wolfgang's body.
Trying to get him involved with every Necromancer...
”Foolish.”
”─ Nah!?
The barrier (shield) created by the Necromancer Priest was hung up and stopped.
”What is no magic in this day and age? To this extent ca. Activation is also slow. It's not powerful enough. '
