Living as an Unemployed in Another World

45 – 2. The Path of the Dagger (26)

26.

Have you ever seen a god?

If it had been me before, I would have been able to confidently answer “No” To that question.

God is God. He is a god because he cannot be seen or touched. Objects to be worshiped should not have substance. An existence that should never be dragged down into the realm of humans and creatures. That was my only thought about God.

Even in this world, my thoughts have not changed. Even if there is a divinity or miracle that ‘proves’ the existence of God, they still thought that they were only giving something. He would enjoy omnipotence in the realm of mortals, but would never show a living body.

But ──── I looked up at the girl looking down at me and felt that she had unintentionally fallen face down.

There was no need to force proof. Just knew Like a man standing on a cliff looking down and knowing that gravity can never be defied. Even though they are in the same space, it feels like they are separated by invisible stairs.

“────.”

This is it, God.

I wonder if that lord has been trading with “Something like this”? Even though I didn’t think that the thing that took Alicia’s body was its original form, no, even if I dared to say that I was an evil god, it might be a funny idea to try to estimate the size of the god’s body, but it just felt funny.

“Jin?”

It was clear what had happened to everyone’s hair. Are you trying to fight something like that? I’m really not joking about trying to go against something like that. Why don’t everyone do that when it’s not enough to just lower your head and think about surviving? The same goes for Mira, who always looks for an opportunity to surprise, and the same goes for the Paladin who is confronting Alicia’s body.

“Jin? Stay alert!”

There was only vague talk that you would fight the heretics, and no one told you that you would fight against the gods. Do you not see me The endless darkness that continues from the back of the head. The abyss shining fiercely in the eyes.

Damn, damn. sh*t. Why am i here Shouldn’t it have just come in the first place? Or at least had to forcefully stun Mira and put her rings on top of each other to run away from the mansion? My place is not in the middle of this evil. It’s a cramped inn room that smells musty…… Mira, let it go. I have to run away right now…….

“… ….”

As if clutching her head to herself as if she were bowing down, Mira stared straight into Alicia’s face as her wavy hair wrapped around her quivering young man. I don’t know what Jin saw in those eyes, but she, who has the most sense of humor among the people in this room, also instinctively realized. Just the fact that something non-human was taking over that slender girl’s body right now.

How can we get Jinman out of here with an ambush? I don’t know how much power ‘that’ will exert with a weak body, but as long as the body is human, the vital points of a person are all there. No, but what if you use magic? What if a physical attack gets blocked by something? After thinking over and over again, Mira froze when she heard the next word that came out of the girl’s mouth.

“Full, offering, place. Resistance, nullity────.”

A voice from another world that comes from the throat of a sixteen-year-old girl. Communication of intentions that only transcendents who belong to the pantheon can enjoy. Mira resisted the thought echoing through her mind, and then slipped forward from her excruciating headache. Looking behind the girl, the servants were already fainting with tears in their eyes or foaming.

Is the degree of resistance different depending on the mental strength you have? Then how much of a monster is a paladin who is still standing on two legs? No, it might just be because they worship a different god———— Eventually, someone approached behind the Holy Knight without hiding their presence. Mira looked behind her and saw a middle-aged man in a traditional robe with his hand on the door, gasping for breath.

“Ha ha ha…… Get out of that body right now, Zulkar!!”

“────L, Raui, Shinto. Two, orders, null and void.”

The man didn’t fall down or scream when he saw that being. He leaned against the door and frowned, saying that he was annoying. Then, looking at Mira and her Jin lying side by side on the floor, he clicked his tongue.

“Why are they doing that again? It doesn’t make sense.”

“…… Heresy, Inquisitor.”

“I know. Let’s get some pampering.”

Please? What? While Mira questioned her, the paladin rushed towards Alicia’s body in an instant. He didn’t have a physique that could be called a giant, but his physical abilities were not at all human. If she didn’t slow her down, Alicia would be slammed into her wall and ground up like her ground meat. However, the paladin was ricocheted in the opposite direction with just one gesture she swung and was thrown out of her annex. Kung, floating!!

However, the Heretic Inquisitor stood at an angle as expected, and she ran out of the gap and hit the scale-shaped scar on her palm against Alicia’s forehead. f*ck! The blow sounded so intense that it dyed my forehead red. For a moment, Zulkar’s presence seemed to be half gone from the girl’s body, but the Inquisitor’s wrist snapped backwards, and she returned to normal as he was pushed back and fell.

“Such XX, do you still wish for life after eating that much soul!! Even if you kill the lord, are you going to take her daughter’s life as well! Even so, you are in charge of life…… !”

“Yes. This place, prey, fullness. This body, the same rate, is high.”

What are you talking about? Tied? Even in the midst of confusion, Mira did not miss the words of the Heretic Questioner. You killed the lord? ‘That one?’ There is no way the priests took their own lives, and if so, did you mean they easily took their lives from a distance without sticking a single blade?

In the midst of chaos, the crowd is agitated. To the extent that more people were shocked by the death of the lord than Alicia’s change. To be honest, the paladin who was stronger than herself was like that, and the Heretic Inquisitor, who seemed to have special powers, had her wrists shattered and scattered, so she had no choice but to realize that she was a mummy and that she had no hope for her anymore.

“Absorb, force.”

“f*ck you, stop! Hey, how long are you going to lie down!!”

Alicia, no, as the fragments of Zulkar spread their arms as if proclaiming, there was an explosion outside the door, and the new model of the paladin burst into the annex again. To be able to move again after receiving such a shock was shockingly durable, but I couldn’t even touch Alicia’s body.

The paladin’s resistance continued as the heretic inquisitor poured out his divinity. In the meantime, Mira was waiting for an opportunity to grab her gin and run out of her door with her back against the wall, but suddenly the trembling in her body subsided. As Mira looks at the side of her face, her firearm is back in her eyes.

“Jin? Are you okay now?”

“Uh uh…… Thanks to.”

She somehow managed to come to her senses thanks to Mira’s holding on to her. Even in this situation, how relieved she felt to be in someone else’s arms. Thanks to her, she somehow figured out the situation.

Summarizing, what is now in Alicia’s body is the evil god Zulkar, as I thought. Needless to say, an evil god who governs time and preys on human souls from beyond the nether world. However, not all of that body was in Alicia’s body. Because there is no way that human ‘capacity’ can contain all gods. These are all things learned from the witch.

However, the question is why Alicia? If anyone could steal the body and enter, it would have been advantageous to occupy the body of a strong person like a paladin or a mummy. No, if it was possible to take a person’s life so easily, it would be enough to kill us all with one gesture without confrontation like that. Just like the lord.

I can’t because both are impossible. And the reason is that, in order to directly interfere with humans, no matter how much God is, there must be a ‘mediation’ unless it is manifested. Needless to say, in the case of the lord, the transaction was made directly, and in Alicia’s case, it was correct to say that the passage was open since he was still handing over the dregs of his life. In other words, if you cut off the passage, it wouldn’t be strange if you were immediately thrown to the other side of the nether and flew away.

The question is how to do that. I closed my eyes and concentrated even as the noise blared out.

A mansion bathed in moonlight. Witch’s bedroom. She is looking at me with her legs crossed and not wearing a single thread, and I stand in front of her and bow her head.

“Well, even you, stupid, can understand now, right? A curse is not omnipotence after all. What was it like living as a frog for a week?”

“…… Flies don’t taste very good.”

“Whoops, yes. It’s also a good idea to be honest and not flatter. However, that is not the answer you want. Think about it, I didn’t try to break your curse. What made you come back as a human?”

“… ….”

“Because I tried to act like a human, not a frog. You didn’t jump, you didn’t stick your tongue out, you suppressed your hunger and went against your instincts, and you returned to being human. The context of all curses is the same. If you understand the other person’s grudge and take the most unwanted action, the effect will be released.”

“Is that all? Is there any way to lift the curse right away while still being cursed?”

“Of course there is. But gin. That would be the hardest road. It’s easy to understand someone’s desires and act against them, but not to accept the curse itself as a curse…… It’s impossible without someone’s help.”

Why do I remember what you just said?

But thanks to that, I remembered what I had to do. I pulled her mummy’s little head close to her mine and whispered to her.

“Mira, can you draw the attention of ‘that’?”

“Attention? Among those monsters?”

“Oh, is it too much?”

“No.”

She drew a wooden dagger and laughed.

“Anything you want.”

She jumped out of her seat and I put her hand in her bag. The flask is broken, and the power of the ring does not work. Bag, give me the things I need most now.

Soon…… I grabbed something in my sweaty hand.
