Chapter 78 Othinus the One-eyed Five - White Wings
Zera and Othinus.
The girl who wanted to become a devil and the girl who had become a devil finally met on this lake blessed by legend.
Nothing surprising.
She had anticipated this outcome long before she chose to step into Othinus' ceremonial ground.
Now that we have officially decided to touch the realm of God and launch an attack on the 'troublemaker' at the peak of the phase, is there any need to hesitate now?
That's why Zeira deployed so many time-delaying defenses on the outside.
You can say that.
A magic that can redistribute any terrain within the magic reach area, reshaping the world "Universe One".
The Original Sin spell used to judge those deemed guilty by the caster, the Sin Psalm "The Sea of Human Evil".
And the last absolute defensive magic, the advanced and improved version of Fairy Ball, "Fairy's Sanctuary".
Like the "Stars in the Sky" that had previously been used to contend with Orelus, these are the crystallization of the "wisdom" that Zeira has mastered in the field of magic through her experience so far.
Unfortunately, the effects of these techniques are greatly reduced because they do not receive full support from the practitioners themselves.
However, the original intention of these three lines of defense was not to defeat Othinus. In terms of interference alone, the results achieved so far can be said to be quite good.
Sixty-two seconds.
It's a better number than Zella's estimated time.
Before Othinus arrived here, they had completed their tasks gloriously.
Unfortunately.
(…The devil is still the devil after all…)
Even if her power is incomplete.
Zella sighed in her heart.
Then next.
(...Just let me borrow your "wisdom" without being polite!)
In her eyes.
There seems to be starlight flowing.
…
…
So-called jokes usually end in tragedy at the wrong time.
The one-eyed girl moved her fingers to make sure she heard correctly.
"Do you know who you are standing in front of and what you are talking about?"
To say the words "I want to become a demon god" without thinking in front of a pure demon god is not to be described as ignorant or provocative.
Summarizing the two questions in one sentence, Othinus leaned against the brim of his hat, his eyes as cold as the cold wind.
"If you want to be killed by me, you don't have to use this lame way, I will satisfy you."
Words expressing cruelty spread across the lake.
But the other 'person' is not affected by it.
"I'm sorry, but this is the only point I can't compromise on."
"I still hope that 'death' will be the end of a normal life."
Confessing Othinus's incomprehensible feelings, Zeira told him clearly.
"Although it's impossible for me to defeat you now, I think it's okay to protect myself."
She kept a polite smile and continued her answer.
"The 'infinite possibilities' you have... sometimes being too perfect may not be a good thing, right?"
"..."
Hearing the unexpected keyword, it was Othinus' turn to be silent this time.
Then, she quickly seemed to have figured out something.
"Orrels sent you?"
With an expression on his face like 'When did that guy become so timid?', Othinus asked sternly.
After going round and round, everything seems to be back to where it started.
The only person in the world who knows her inner story so well is the man who took away the throne of the Demon God from her.
The one-eyed girl has no doubt about this.
But the facts still show deviations.
"Well, do you understand this?"
Not minding that this conversation continued, Zeira felt the feedback record on the "Star Book" and looked sideways at Othinus.
"He is the one who stands to 'advise' me."
The brown-haired girl said deliberately ambiguously.
"..."
The atmosphere changed in an instant.
Yeah.
Othinus moved his lips slightly, probably saying this.
It is enough to know this.
The first to sound the alarm was space.
boom!!!!
Suddenly.
There was a shrill and harsh explosion between Zera and Othinus.
On the unobservable battlefield, this booming sound lasted for several seconds before dying down.
It was an energy collision that was enough to change the terrain of the continent, but the expressions of both parties still didn't change much.
Only one thing is known.
That is the location of the sonic boom, which has been moving in the direction of Zeira.
Make a decision.
"...You are also a demon god after all. Don't you think it is beneath your status to do so?"
Unexpectedly, Othinus would take action so directly, which made Zera, who hastily accepted the challenge, somewhat uncomfortable.
But she also knew that even if she was prepared, the result would probably not be much better.
"If that's all you have, then you shouldn't have any complaints so far, right?"
"Just knowing that you are related to Orrels, I have no reason to let you go."
Othinus's face showed the same aloof and casual look as before.
She doesn't care at all about the relationship between 'Zera' and 'Orelles'.
Anyway, as long as you know that the two of them did have contact.
Or does this guy really think she can't see what the 'book' is doing?
As a demon, she doesn't mind giving away her wisdom to mortals, but it's a different matter without her permission.
"And I've become slightly interested in you. My 'Army of the Dead' can't recruit a guy like Orrels who has half a foot in the realm of the devil. Maybe it's still possible as you say."
The demon smiled wantonly and expressed his "tolerance".
The strength of the deceased's army? Just by the name, you can tell it's not a good place.
I always feel like I've been underestimated.
Temporarily stopping what she was doing, Zella whispered and replied in a voice that was not rude.
"Thank you for your appreciation. I should have said that I have ways to protect myself."
"Are you still going to resist?"
"certainly."
She has deployed three lines of defense, but that doesn't mean they are the only ones.
Without looking at Othinus, Zella raised his head slightly and injected magic power in a certain direction.
"The arrival of 'dusk' is just the beginning of 'night'."
——Buzz!!!
A corner of the world has lost its original color.
The white sky gradually faded away, revealing countless golden lines of magic arrays, and flame clouds with bright colors like oil paintings.
Earth, sun, stars, moon.
The trajectories of all celestial bodies are now included in the calculation.
At some point, a human-sized golden light spot dropped between the two girls standing here.
With the ceremony venue in full swing, the supply of magic power has skyrocketed, becoming the most solid boost.
Then.
From the spot of light that began to crack, white wings stretched out and broke free from their restraints.
The golden hair stretches down.
The energy that slowly converged turned into a female body, shining with pure white light.
