Chapter 89

A Decisive Battle On Christmas Eve (Confrontation)

『A priest of the god of darkness…!?』

Alicia let loose a stunned voice at Aimok’s phrases.

The 4 main attributes of water, hearth, earth, and air all had a temple honoring their god. The temples had the accountability of conferring blessings to folks, with a priest or shrine maiden chosen to behave as a medium. Alicia was one of many chosen shrine maidens.

Moreover, the temples of sunshine and darkness had lengthy been deserted, so neither a priest nor a shrine maiden existed… Or that’s the way it ought to have been.

Certainly, after I acquired a blessing on the temple of darkness, the temple was uninhabited.

『That is the facility that God granted me. With this energy, I’ll trigger a revolution on this nation. Anybody who objects shall be given a present of power, those that will comply with me, bow your heads.』

Confusion unfold at Aimok’s phrases. However earlier than lengthy, the delinquents all started to prostrate themselves in submission.

It was a really weird sight.

『Wasn’t his thoughts management magic speculated to be weak…?』

『I could have spoken of it just a little too frivolously. Seeing what occurred right here…』

After some time, it was solely Aimok and the 2 of us nonetheless standing.

『… Hou, you continue to haven’t submitted to me, Kamishiro Souta. Certainly, you will have met my expectations.』

Having confirmed our look, Aimok spoke to us utilizing telepathy.

『Then, allow us to being the leisure. Come to the stage.』

Aimok urged Souta with an exaggerated gesture. The 2 of us glanced at one another and nodded, then started to stroll by the parking zone the place the delinquents had been prostrating themselves.

The stage was quite easy and made from stone, formed right into a rectangle that was round ten meters lengthy. Solely Aimok and us had been standing on it.

The entire delinquents across the stage had their heads lowered.

「It’s good you got here, Kamishiro Souta. I’ll defeat you, who triggered the collapse of the earlier Ouroboros, and show my energy, then I’ll deliver salvation to this world.」

Aimok stopped utilizing telepathy and spoke on to us. The sound of the motorbike’s exhaust had stopped earlier than I spotted it, and there was now not any hindrance when speaking.

「Earlier than that, I saved my promise. So launch Ryouka instantly!」

「… Very properly.」

When Aimok snapped his fingers, motion may very well be seen within the group of Ouroboros that was behind the stage, as Ryouka jumped up from her prostrated place.

Ryouka blinked a couple of occasions as her eyes wandered round, then seeing us, she ran in direction of Souta in a straight line.

「Souta-san!」

Ryouka jumped into Souta’s chest.

「I’m sorry, Souta-san! … I, I’m!」

Ryouka’s feeling overflowed as Souta began stroking her head, attempting to calm her down.

「Ryouka, you’re protected now, I do know… That you just’re not unhealthy. So, don’t fear about it.」

Seeing the state of my two pals, I turned in direction of Aimok. There was one thing I needed to verify with him earlier than it was too late.

Commercial

『Ikuto-san, please enable me to speak.』

Alicia stated that to me.

I nodded, then related Aimok to my telepathy.

『Aimok Hultur Dakurihipos!』

Having his title known as by telepathy, Aimok confirmed a stunned expression for the primary time.

「Telepathy, from the place? You… Are that lady who was at that college…?」

『My title is Alicia Heleni Minstia, I got here right here from the identical world as you.』

I took off my coat as Alicia named herself. The skinny white robes I used to be carrying beneath had been uncovered to the chilly winter air.

「That vestment, and to hold the title of one of many spirit gods… You, you’re a shrine maiden of water.」

『… Are you really a priest of Dakurihipos? The temple of darkness was deserted and uninhabited. Within the first place, it’s unattainable for an individual to dwell in a temple positioned within the demon lord’s territory.』

「My clan has adopted the demon lord for generations by serving to the demons get hold of a blessing. After all the temple can be empty and deserted, because it was pointless as long as the clergymen had been alive.」

『You, are you saying that you simply had been cooperating with the demon lord towards humanity!?』

「My ancestors had been persecuted by the believers of the sunshine, and escaped into that land. We’ve got no obligation to assist humanity. It was much better for us to repay the kindness of the demon lord who granted us asylum, it’s the identical path that anybody in our place would take.」

『… However!』

「Effectively, it’s wonderful… Both means, it’s already over. The demon lord was killed by the hero, and I now not know the whereabouts of the remainder of my clan… Effectively, if I used to be to remain in that will I’d have been persecuted for the sin of cooperating with the demon lord.」

『… I perceive your circumstances. I’ve neither the correct nor intention to evaluate you. Nonetheless, you will have instigated folks whereas claiming to be following the phrases of a spirit god, as well as, you planning to overthrow this nation is one thing I can’t overlook as somebody who follows an identical god. Why are you doing this!』

「It’s as a result of I’m serving God. I’ll deliver salvation to this world that lacks the blessing of God.」

『That’s pointless. This world has already been by loads of trial and error, the results of which was the creation of this nation. Although it isn’t excellent, it isn’t one thing that outsiders like us ought to be influencing!』

「The individuals who have been deserted by their god have made efforts to run this nation with their very own energy. Nonetheless, they’re now not wanted since I’ve come to this world. I’ll turn into the beacon that leads these folks into the long run.」

『Why are you trying down on them! What’s the distinction between us and the inhabitants of this world!』

「I’m an apostle of God. As somebody who’s blessed by God, it’s our obligation to guide these folks to salvation… It’s pure and inevitable.」

『That’s unsuitable! Having a blessing doesn’t make you superior or inferior to others!』

「I don’t agree with that. In case you disagree with me, then you’ll have to cease me with power… That’s it, let’s make a guess.」

『A guess…?』

「If we combat and also you win, I’ll cease interfering with this world.」

Commercial

『… Are you telling the reality?』

「It’s not a lie. I’ll pledge it utilizing an oath of magic if mandatory.」

An oath of magic. By taking an oath with one another, the magic makes it unattainable to behave towards that pledge. If an individual tries to behave towards the oath, they are going to turn into utterly disabled.

『And, what should you gained…?』

「I’ll obtain you as my prize.」

『… What!?』

「It’s one thing I’ve been anxious about for some time, that even when I grew to become king, I wouldn’t be capable to depart a official inheritor. If it’s with a shrine maiden, then there can be no scarcity of magical energy within the blood line. I offers you the respect of turning into my spouse and bearing my youngsters. How about it, it isn’t a nasty proposition, no?」

「Cease screwing round! Who would ever need that!」

I unintentionally yelled at Aimok. Thrusting out the workers of the world tree in an intimidating method.

『… Ikuto-san. Please depart this to me.』

Alicia talked to me in a whisper that didn’t attain Aimok.

After hesitating for a second, I gave a small nod.

『I’ll take that guess. Then, let’s use the magic of oath.』

「… Very properly.」

With a snap of his fingers, a parchment and feather pen appeared within the air between us.

「I, Aimok Hultur Dakurihipos swear. On my defeat on this combat, I’ll cease interfering with this world.」

The pen moved mechanically, the content material of his phrases being written to the parchment within the characters of the opposite world.

『I, Alicia Heleni Minstia swear. On my defeat on this combat, I’ll give up myself to Aimok Hulter Dakurihipos and obey his instructions.』

The phrases Alicia swore had been equally written on the parchment.

Whereas I felt anxious, I entrusted it to Alicia as I watched over the occasions.

Commercial

『Ikuto-san, please lengthen your proper hand into the paper.』

As instructed by Alicia, I switched the workers to my left hand, and stretched out my proper hand.

「『Oath!』」

The parchment shined brilliantly for a second earlier than shattering into particles and fading away.

Seeing that occur, Aimok laughed whereas filled with satisfaction.

「Kukuku… That is an surprising harvest. To assume, that I’d be capable to get my fingers on a shrine maiden of water!」

「… Not but, you certain have numerous confidence though we haven’t fought but.」

By the way, even when he gained, he nonetheless wouldn’t get it.

I had smiled wryly after I observed Alicia’s plan.

It was Alicia that made that oath proper now, not me.

Due to this fact, even when I’m defeated and he or she grew to become a subordinate of Aimok, Alicia can’t do something with out her physique. And, the oath doesn’t affect me in any respect, the one who strikes her physique.

Regardless, I’ve no intention of shedding.

「… Wait a second. Aren’t I the one who’s speculated to be combating with Aimok? Don’t simply selfishly go off by yourself.」

Having lastly calmed down Ryouka, Souta interrupted our dialog.

「My unhealthy, Souta, however there’s a cause for this. Let me go first.」

「You, should you lose you’re going to turn into his…? Do you anticipate me to only shut up and settle for that!」

「Even should you say that…」

us, Aimok smiled and began to talk.

「I don’t thoughts, I’ll tackle each of you on the identical time. It’ll make it extra entertaining.」

Seeing Aimoks response to his phrases, Souta took a stance beside me.

「Effectively then, I’ll go at you with out hesitation. Don’t remorse it!」

「Wait… Souta!」

「Isn’t this a combat we are able to’t afford to lose? Let’s do it collectively, Ikutari.」

The present Souta was stuffed with conviction. And Aimok’s character was the identical as within the state of affairs earlier than, he was absolutely keen to tackle each of us directly.

I don’t understand how properly Souta will do in a battle involving magic, however I used to be nonetheless completely satisfied to have him with me.

「Ah, I perceive… Then let’s do that, associate.」
