Chapter 199 : A New Composition. (1)
Chapter 199 : A New Composition. (1)
They were more vile than he had thought.
Lucas had thought that the demons would be quiet for a few days after the last attack. But that prediction was completely wrong.
"Damn it!"
The numerous magic formulas and artifacts that surrounded the mansion were pouring out indiscriminate attacks.
-Kwaang! Kwa-kwang!
The earth shook with the ceaseless explosions.
-Kung! Ku-ku-kung!
He couldn't even guess how many artifacts and formulas were intertwined.
-Kwa-kwang! Kwang!
Even while Lucas was staring blankly at the pouring attacks, the attacks poured out without rest, and in the meantime, the protection spell continued to be broken.
'While they were developing like this, what on earth did I, we, do...'
Only a late regret, which was useless, washed over him.
If the trick used to attack a mere human was that much, he couldn't even guess what kind of trick they would use when they properly dealt with a dragon.
"Get a grip. Don't just stand there foolishly."
Ellaim's sharp words pierced his mind.
"Right."
He tried to open his eyes wide and look at the situation properly.
"Hah. You've lost your mind. Nella is still safe. Fortunately, it seems they haven't broken through there yet."
"..."
He couldn't think of any way.
"You've lost your mind. I'll take care of this one, so you just watch quietly."
In the end, Ellaim, who couldn't watch any longer, shook his head and moved.
"Usually, you would get angry and shout 'what can you do' at a time like this. Tsk."
"...Please do."
As Ellaim had said, he was half out of his mind, so he couldn't help it.
He followed Ellaim's movements with a blank gaze.
-Kwa-kwang! Kwa-kwa-kwang!
Ellaim, who had entered between the countless pouring attacks, called two upper spirits and began to destroy the artifacts one by one.
"Ah."
The method was actually easy.
But doesn't everyone's mind go blank when they are flustered? The situation Lucas was experiencing was exactly like that.
-Kwa-kwang! Kwang!
Before he knew it, the attacks began to become sparse.
-Kwaang...! Kwang!
"It's done. The spirits will always protect this place, so don't worry too much."
"Thank you."
He thought it was a great relief that Ellaim was here in a situation like this.
"Let's go in."
Ellaim gestured towards the mansion.
"..."
But Lucas hesitated for a moment and then shook his head.
"Do as you please."
It was a judgment that it would not be good to go in.
'I said my goodbyes.'
Thinking that he didn't know when it would end, he had said goodbye to his family and the children last time.
'Although they don't know it was a goodbye.'
In a way, it was a very selfish judgment. But Lucas thought this was the best.
As Ellaim disappeared inside the mansion, Lucas, who had been staring blankly at the place, reorganized the protection spell once more.
He built up the broken barrier again.
'It would be better if I had the dragon language.'
It must have been because Aman and Hasel had helped last time that it had held up this much.
'Even if it's a pity.'
What could he do? Lucas, who had moved his gaze to the mansion for the last time, smiled faintly.

"Kyahak! You almost died this time, didn't you?"
"Shut up."
Taras said roughly to Agua, who had come to see him.
"Kyahak! Hak! You were running away with your tail between your legs, weren't you?"
"If you came to tease me, then get lost right now. I'm already annoyed enough without you."
At that, Agua laughed until he was out of breath and then threw an object in front of Taras.
"...?"
"Well, you don't have to thank me. Should I say it's a meaning to give me a better spectacle when you fight next time?"
"Why on earth are you helping me? If that's the case, you could just side with me and fight."
At Taras's words, Agua smirked.
"Hey. You always cross the line like that, don't you?"
Agua, who had sneered as if it were ridiculous, sat down in front of Taras.
"That's your problem. You don't know your place."
"...What do you mean by that?"
"I can cut off your head right now. Amore might be a little difficult? But why should I side with a weaker guy and fight?"
"..."
Agua's words were not wrong. He was also a god who had existed since the beginning of time, and he was a god who governed the most basic water that made up the world.
The god of water. His power was much greater than he had thought.
"Am I wrong? I'm just trying to get a little bit of fun in my boring life by watching you guys fight, so why should I help you? You crazy bastard."
Words and actions that could not be seen as a god. The main god used to say this about Agua.
That he was a 'madman'.
Agua, the god of water, whom he had created but did not know how he had been made.
The other gods also used to say the same thing about Agua. That he was a madman.
There was even a rumor that the main god had made him while he was high on drugs.
"So please don't act up. Got it? Just say thank you~ when I help you. Because I'm confident that I can take away that authority right away even after you ascend to the main god's position."
He was rough and confident.
"Get lost."
But Taras could not refute those words. Although the god of the dwarves, the god of fire, was also a strong god, he was no match for Agua.
Fire cannot defeat water. And even more so if it is water that exists everywhere.
"Right. I'll get lost, so make sure the next fight is more exciting. Got it?"
Agua smiled faintly and left.
"...Damn it!"
Although he felt like shit, he couldn't help it. Because Agua was that strong of a god.
Taras's lips, who had picked up the object Agua had thrown, trembled slightly.
'He's giving me... this?'
Taras's heart pounded at the identity of the object.
'What on earth does that bastard want?'
Agua's help had been great in annihilating Herdone. But this time, he had brought an object that could send even Amore away at once.
'The weakness of the god of love...'
The object Agua had thrown was one of the main god's objects, the 'Stone of Betrayal'.
If you were to ask what was most fatal in love, it could be said to be 'betrayal and suspicion'.
The 'Stone of Betrayal' held in Taras's hand would be able to inflict the most fatal wound on Amore.
Taras, who was lost in thought, leaned back deeply in his chair.
"Hah..."
He had a small doubt about whether he was doing the right thing.
'I've already come too far.'
But since he had already come too far to turn back...
'I have to do it.'

The Sirens were adapting to their newly moved home.
"Oh! You've come!"
"Giestio!"
Giestio smiled brightly at Turkam and gestured with his hand.
"Right. Come this way!"
"Giestio. Is there any news from our village people yet?"
Turkam was worried because he had suddenly lost contact with his village.
"Right. I heard that a big war broke out on the surface..."
"But didn't you say our village was fine!"
"Right. That's right. It was confirmed that your village was fine, but they said there was no one left there."
"Oh no! I can't. I have to go out..."
At that, Giestio quickly shook his head.
"You can't. If you also get into trouble, what will happen to your kinsmen left here!"
At Giestio's sincere concern, Turkam let out a groan.
"Right. So please wait a little longer. I'll be sure to deliver the news of your village."
"I understand. Then if you hear any news, please, please let me know first. Huh?"
"Of course! Of course, my friend. Of course."
As Turkam left the room with a dark expression, Giestio clicked his tongue.
"Tsk. Now that the food is not coming... what should I do with those gluttonous things!"
Since it had been revealed that he was the mastermind who had helped the Demon King, it was not easy to go out to the surface and get food.
If he just continued to supply them with fish, there would be no problem, but the problem was not that, but the alcohol.
The dwarves were drinking alcohol like crazy every day.
But alcohol was precious here. Of course, he could make it, but even then, it was only alcohol made using seaweed or such things.
'And their palates are so picky!'
They were gourmets. It was difficult to satisfy their palates with the ordinary food from the sea.
'But there are still many things to make...'
He couldn't just kick them out right away.
"Hmm..."
As he was pondering, a small halo of light began to form in front of Giestio.
'Ah, Agua-nim?'
Although it was an aura he had felt after a long time, Giestio could recognize the identity of the aura at once.
[Hey~ fish~]
It was Agua.
"Ah, I greet Agua-nim!"
A voice was flowing out of the pure white halo of light.
[Right. Right.]
Although his appearance was not fully revealed, it was definitely Agua.
[How have you been? Did our fish move house?]
"Yes, yes. Well... there were some circumstances..."
It was better not to tell a lie that would be useless anyway. Because he was a violent god.
[Right. And those circumstances are helping Taras, right?]
"..."
He felt his whole body stiffen. Agua had come knowing everything.
[Hey. Don't be so scared. Huh? I didn't come to scold you.]
"...Yes."
But he couldn't be relieved.
[Right. Is the work of helping Taras going well? It doesn't seem like it. Wasn't this the first time you fought? But I heard you were beaten badly.]
"Yes..."
[Kyahak! Hak! It's so funny. Hey. If you're going to fight, you have to win, what are you doing losing? It makes me look bad.]
Agua's voice, which had been laughing in a high voice, sank low in an instant.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
Giestio, who had bowed his head, bowed his head even lower and attached it to the floor.
[Right. Right. You should be sorry. I was so embarrassed. Tsk! So... I was thinking...]
Giestio swallowed dryly.
[Should I help you a little?]
"...!?"
At the unexpected words, Giestio's head began to spin rapidly.
'Agua is suddenly stepping up to help?'
There must be some story behind this.
[No~ I thought about it a little? But it's better to win than to go around losing, right? Right?]
"Yes. That's right."
[So I was thinking of helping you a little.]
Giestio raised his head slightly and looked up at the halo of light.
"Although I don't know what kind of help it is... I'm actually a little worried."
At Giestio's words, the halo of light trembled slightly.
[Worried? What worry?]
At Agua's sharp voice, Giestio, who had flinched slightly, continued to speak firmly.
"I know it's an arrogant thing to say... but I know that Lord Taras is challenging the authority of the main god. If Lord Taras's victory is not helpful to Agua-nim..."
At that, the halo of light shone brightly for a moment, and then.
[Hey.]
Agua had descended.
