Chapter 489 – 488. Interlude Stories – Stories So Far (12)
Hehe-“
“… Hey, Mortus. I know you feel good, but if you keep clinging to me like you did with the spirit situation, I’ll be in a lot of trouble.”
After the advent ceremony is over.
Mortus, who has settled perfectly into his new body, is currently hanging on my back. Gray hair, black eyes. Pale skin. Well, it’s safe to say that it’s half-dead, but it’s not completely dead either.
It is a body in which life and death are intertwined at the same time, and it is in a perfect state without scattering the energy of death around it. And she borrowed her daughter’s power to control it, and at the same time, it was a pastime for Evelyn to get a sense of how to control her own power.
And it was a spectacular success, and Mortus is now more satisfied than when he was incarnated before.
“Good job, Evelyn. Thanks to you, I finally have a body that is comfortable to move around in.”
“Nothing much to say. I will continue to take good care of my father, Mortus.”
Evelyn bowed her head politely and answered curtsey. And apart from that, first, the gothic dress she usually wears. Unlike the time when he was half-astral and could not descend properly, his body temperature is slightly lower than that of others, but despite this, his body is not definitely dead.
A contradictory body that is neither dead nor alive.
If you say they’re undead, you’re right. They’re called undead because they’re divinity, so they’re not greatly affected by divinity.
As a result of testing with the torch that I received from Ilias, it did not burn, and of course, her flame of death did not work because it was her own power.
Well, after finishing all the test results, recording them and putting them in the record book, I realize that I need to go out on the ground for a bit.
Well, this job is also this job…
Because I haven’t finished settling the bill yet.
“Ah, I finally found it, Clark.”
Liz followed, and Phyllis also followed.
Anna and Carol… Well, at least my sister is with them. The women will be talking among themselves during girls’ talk time and all, and only Anna can serve them.
Carol will be by her side helping her, and the people she has gathered are quite picky.
Even Tio came out there.
“Are you planning on going outside Clark?”
“That’s right. I’m going out right now. Do you want to go with me?”
“No, that’s not it. However, while I’m trying to figure out the world situation, there’s something that bothers me a bit. Based on this, I’ve come here to make three suggestions.”
I guess so.
I listened to Tio’s story.
Although she was a skilled Ogre Mage, she was also a strategist and advisor. She is one of the talents that Widdy wants to take with him, but she says she is tired of living in the Demon King’s County, and so she stays here.
Now buried under a pile of documents, I am recuperating and training privately in the labyrinth.
A state of training in [Limbo] That I have opened, or in search of a treasure trove of knowledge.
Still, she acts as a staff member who reads the world situation and provides advice accordingly.
“… First of all, it is said that the Northern Grand Air Force, which formed one axis in Urus, and Urus are quite at odds.”
“The reason is that Paris is there, right?”
“That’s correct. But that’s not the only problem… You know that Sigurd was injured, right?”
Well…
“Because I killed half of them.”
Liz says proudly.
“Well, I couldn’t end my life.”
“From a tactical perspective, Sigurd was not that important in a situation where Zeus and various demonic beasts were rampaging around. In fact, it seems like he put a lot of effort into killing half of the annoying things.”
I feel like I’m just saying that I was paying attention to something that I didn’t need to worry about, but the perspective of a tactician and the perspective of the personnel in the field are different. Well, neither Sigurd nor Sigurd is an idiot, and he knew how messed up the war situation would be if he let Liz run wild, so he probably decided that it would be tactically advantageous to expand the front line at all costs and hold him back.
In the end, Liz used her strength as if she was trying to chase away a fly, but it could be said that she ended up putting more anger into it.
“… Well, they say that Clark is a ruthless man who preys on women, and that he is a monster who ate his father. If you ignore it after hearing that, you are disqualified as a wife, right? If you think it’s a good thing that he didn’t tear the continent into pieces, then you won’t… Will it work?”
“Well, let’s leave it at that. That’s not important anyway, right? If Sigurd is injured, there will be [Aftereffects] From that injury, right?”
“Yes, that’s true. [Gram] Was said to have been stolen.”
“…”
“Phew-“
My favorite bottle was stolen.
Is it because they made you into such an idiot?
As I looked at Liz, she calmly explained to me.
“I cut off one left arm, four right fingers excluding the thumb, left ankle – and below the right knee.”
“… Seeing as how he didn’t die, he must be a descendant of Odin.”
“Second… Can I say it?”
“Of course.”
Information that Tio Gransha briefly organized.
She gave the second piece of information based on observations from star spawns and her own research.
“It is said that Menelaus and his wife, Helen, were bewitched by Paris… Hmm… Anyway, they were so bewitched that they are running away.”
“…”
“Accordingly, not only the Urus Grand Army, but also the Northern Grand Air Force has been deployed as a separate unit, and is said to be searching for Phrygia as if it were leading them.”
“To conclude, what’s the problem if we kill it?”
“The new nation that will rise up after that must be prepared for friction with Urus. But that doesn’t mean that we can’t leave a place that has rebelled once without doing enough.”
This means that the Northern Grand Duke should be defeated here once.
However, if you adjust this too much, there will be problems when playing with Urus.
Then what…
“Killing Baldur will be enough.”
“? Why is the conclusion reached that way?”
Tio looks at me and asks, isn’t that a natural thing to say?
“No, that’s right. If this side needs to reorganize, wouldn’t we buy time by trashing the inside, so the other side can’t touch it?”
“… Is it possible to kill it before that?”
“Ah, it’s possible! Baldur has already been hit by the [Black Flame] Given to Riz, and is now standing on the threshold of life and death.”
And that is still ongoing.
That’s because my black flame applies to Baldur’s [Sign], Causing his body to continue dying as if it had been hit by Mystil Thane. Since it was for the purpose of giving it, I had to get hit with it one more time to die…
Since my power has already been applied, killing it is easy just by amplifying it.
Of course-
“Loki, I know you’re still listening, so why not pop out?”
“… Ha! Really, if Odin’s truly stupid mistake was to make you an enemy. It’s impossible to make an enemy of a guy who naturally spits out the idea of turning neighboring countries into assholes because the homeland of the woman he loves is in danger-“〈 Br〉
Then, I called Loki, and Loki lamented that and added an insult to Odin. Now, Gungnir has been taken from me and I have suffered considerable humiliation, and Baldur is also in danger of dying. If I defeat Baldur here, Ragnarok will definitely come.
I would like to choose something better here.
“I’m planning to go to the place where Surtur is sealed.”
“Are you crazy?”
To be honest, I feel awkward about dealing with Surtur with my bare body.
That’s right, it’s a being born to kill one of the gods, but it’s difficult to kill it without leaving any repercussions to those around it. A fire giant who burns down Yggdrasil with his sword and burns down all 9 worlds.
If you destroy it, you can destroy it mercilessly, but if the fire giants of Muspelheim follow the Jotuns, the impact will also be felt in neighboring countries.
Yes.
“Go see Odin. Leave a message.”
“It’s a message.”
I have one thing to say.
“Defeat the Urus army.”
“… What if I don’t get bitten?”
“Baldur dies.”
“I’m taking Surt out as a bonus?”
“Yes.”
That’s it. If Baldur dies, Fimbulbert will come, the Jotuns will wake up in the harsh winter and start running rampant, and shit will start.
If I take Surtur from Muspellheim with me, at least Ragnarok won’t happen there.
“But, if that happens, if you’re wrong, you’ll be the one to cause Ragnarok-“
“… No, is it still possible?”
Do you see the Vice King of Chaos as Jaws? Of course, the reason I don’t do it is that it’s annoying.
“… You were that kind of guy, really. Then, well… I’ll ask you to take care of my dog. You know?”
Well then.
I’m in charge of a dangerous job, but I have to take care of things that are assigned to me.
Of course-
“Let’s go together too.”
“… Ha?”
“Well, there are things that need to be delivered to Nidavellir… And there are [Beings] That need to be found. Right, Ifrit?”
Grumbling-!!!
And, Ifrit, the Spirit King of Fire, appears through my touch. After being absorbed by Tiamat, washing away all the contaminated magic power from my body, and surrendering myself to the essence of the power of chaos, I returned – even Ifrit.
-Whoa! Really, it was a rescue from the Spirit Kings… But if they had come sooner, I don’t think I would have become fuel in Tiamat’s body. What do you think?
“That’s why I restored it more carefully.”
When Loki saw Ifrit appear in my hand, he pressed his eyebrows as if being surprised was no longer bothersome.
“A star being is close to the Spirit King. How could there be such a crazy situation? By the way. I would go with you – you couldn’t believe it…”
And I grin as I pull Phyllis, who is right next to me, and Liz’s waist tightly.
“Ugh, Clark!? This is embarrassing-“
“Hehe, master… Do you want Phyllis?”
“…?”
Maybe it’s my mood that makes Phyllis look a little different?
No, before that.
“… Liz, did you hear something from your sister?”
“… I’ll talk about it later. It’s also related to Paris. And… She said, it’s something you’ll find quite interesting-“
Why does saying something like that make me feel uneasy?
…
I don’t know.
This doesn’t happen once or twice anyway.
