The Devil Who Grants Wishes

109 – Runaway (6)

“Kuhh…”

my eyes are so itchy Even if I close my eyes and cover my face with my hands, the light that is full of all sides still enters my eyes.

But now the eyes are no problem.

Seeing how much damage Faust’s body was affected by the lights that wrapped around this world, the others around him would of course be at a level they couldn’t stand.

As seen in the system of the Aquileia Empire, it would not be at the level of being simply brainwashed by light. If given 10 seconds like this, literally everyone would be melted by the light as if they had been hit by a nucleus.

Fortunately, the inside of the Mage Tower has thick walls, so it should be fine, but the other kids in the ruins of the church… Kuck! First of all, you have to pay attention to Iris, who will be in danger—

[Faust-sama, we are fine.]

[Iris, are you okay!?]

[Yes, yes… I’m fine, everyone has no injuries.]

At that moment, the word that everyone is safe comes through the sentence engraved on Iris.

Absolutely common sense makes no sense.

Right now, I can see that the bricks near me are turning into magma from being exposed to that light, but Iris, Celestine, and Lena, all of whom are in the old, collapsed ruins, are all fine.

But I had to come to terms with it.

The light that filled this Eilyu Festival came together like a child playing with clay and rubber, and eventually began to fly in the direction of Iris.

The mana and divine powers protruding from the mana aggregate continue in a straight line like a pipe, and fly to the place where the Church of the God of Light is located.

…What, did you succeed?

It must have been extremely time-consuming as the work had not yet begun.

[Faust-sama, please go see Lucia first. We… it’s a little hard for me to say as I’m new to magic, but to be honest, I think it’ll be fine no matter what happens.]

[…Okay, we’ll hear what happened later.]

Iris’ will is very firm. Since we are all right, please hurry up and go take care of Lucia, who is separated from us.

Through the sensory sharing magic, Iris’ trust is very keenly felt.

…Yes, it seems that the work of turning the church into a magical tool also succeeded very smoothly, so it’s better to do that for now.

**********

On the other hand, Lucia in the magic tower lets out a short moan and sits on the floor as it is.

Since there are no windows, I couldn’t confirm what was happening outside because I was in Elias’s laboratory, the deepest part of the Mage Tower, but I felt the divine power that wrapped around my whole body and the mana that mercilessly pressed my skin, so Lucia didn’t know what had happened. is not stupid

Just like Dad said, the magic tower turned into a dungeon.

The dangerous research failure has not happened yet, but once you see the phenomenon that is happening now, you can’t help but think that the Mage Tower has begun to turn into a dungeon, as you’ve heard before.

Even as this divine power is exactly the same as that of Serapia, which she felt in the islands of the Aquileia Empire, Lucia judges that the future her father saw has been revealed due to Serapia’s intervention.

“Ugh…”

Lucia feels her skin sting and twists her face.

The face, shoulders, forearms, hands, legs, back, literally all the skin that is not covered by the dress is so stinging.

As much as the smoke was coming out of her skin little by little, Lucia intuitively sensed that if she stayed still, she would turn into a truly terrible figure.

But even if she had a hunch, Lucia couldn’t do anything.

Because Lucia had no way to block the holy power that filled the Mage Tower.

Due to the inexhaustible loss of mana and magic that she possesses due to divine power, and the high-density mana that fills the tower, Lucia cannot move her legs properly.

He couldn’t escape outside the magic tower, and he didn’t have any means to counter the divine power.

As the future that will end terribly at this rate is dimly visible, a bad guess creeps up in a corner of Lucia’s mind.

“Keuheuk… you, you… are you okay!?”

“Elias…”

Lucia is not the only one who is perplexed.

Elias, like Lucia, is able to withstand this high density of divine power because Magi does not occupy an important part in life, but it is still uncomfortable.

Elias, who blew off the head of the wizard who had been threatening with his divine power, noticed that Lucia’s condition was not serious despite his own discomfort, and staggered away.

“What kind of demons are coming out so many times… Kuh, if you continue like this, your existence will be obliterated.”

“I’m… a human…”

“Stop talking nonsense! First of all, there are a lot of demonic magic stones in my lab, so first of all, I’ll use them—-… No, I’ve lost all of my holy power, damn it.”

After bouncing his head around the place where the magic stones were stored, Elias saw that he didn’t feel any magic power and bit his molars.

For the first time, Lucia’s demonic energy that is lost is gathered together for first aid and put back into her body, but it is certain that this will not last long.

Elias, who laughed at the act of caring for others as stupid, now struggles to save Lucia as if he had never done it before.

Of course, he is acting like this to find out the secret because he is convinced that Lucia is related to Faust, and because he uses magic he does not know, but Elias does not change that he acted altruistically.

“Hold on for a while!! Go outside for now—”

“——what.”

At that moment, Elias caught something that could not exist in the Mage Tower.

Even though the whole Mage Tower was filled with yellow light, the field of view was too blurry, but something sparkling enough to cover the yellow light came into Elias’ field of vision.

Halo.

An aggregate of divinity that only those with great divine power can possess.

There are so many… that there are dozens of them.

[Give me…]

[Give me that woman…]

[Give me your confidence…]

“…”

Its appearance is too ambiguous to be called an angel, and it resembles a doll, and its words and actions match its appearance, and it is no different from a golem.

Her language skills are worse than the envoys from the empire who came a while ago.

However, the ring of light above the heads of the puppets, the bodies that are spurting adrenaline just by looking at them, are firmly telling Elias that those things he can see now are not mere golems.

“I am Elias, the owner of the Mage Tower.

Kwaaa!!

“—-ugh…”

It is unclear where those angel dolls came from, but Elias, who tried to drive them out, faced a huge amount of light pillars.

Although the world is already filled with pale yellow light, blinding and frowning, the pillars of light are so brilliant that they completely cover the light.

It’s not even just brilliant.

Seeing through that the pillars of light contained a tremendous amount of magic and divine power, Elias hurriedly opened a shield to block the attack.

damn-

‘crazy…’

However, the title of the tower master is colorless, and the shield begins to be damaged by the pillar of light shot by the doll.

Cracked, broken, destroyed.

He hurriedly pours more mana to reinforce the shield that is collapsing every moment, but Elias senses that it will not end well if it continues like this.

However, there is nothing you can do about it even if you have a gut feeling.

It would be okay if he was alone, but from Elias’ point of view, who has to protect the incapacitated Lucia, he has no choice but to endure as much as possible.

[Give me…]

[Come on… Give me…]

‘What on earth are those… are they really monsters?’

Elias, who does not stop analyzing the dolls that suddenly appear even in the midst of enduring, eventually comes up with a ridiculous assumption in his head, but instinctively realizes that the assumption is true.

monster.

A naturally occurring monster from the entanglement of mana and magic.

When you die like a creature made up of mana and magic, everything except for a specific part returns to mana and magic and disappears.

And from those dolls in front of me, I didn’t feel any magic, only mana and holy power.

But those are monsters.

From the perspective of Elias, who has long studied demons and creatures made up of mana and demonic energy, the structure of those puppets is no different from that of monsters.

It was just that divine power entered the place where Magi was.

‘Certainly, the source of divine power and demonic energy is—’

wooo!!

“——huh.”

Even in the middle of this, the moment Elias couldn’t abandon his inquisitive mind, Elias’ field of vision was filled with all sorts of fragments.

Just a moment ago, the limbs, bodies, heads, and other parts that had been cut off from the angel dolls they were dealing with were still sticking to Elias’ shield.

It’s a scene so shocking that a person with a weak stomach would instantly feel like vomiting, but that doesn’t matter to Elias right now.

This overwhelming Magi.

It was because the magic power that was so thick that it instantly neutralized the high concentration of divine power that made even the owner of the mage tower stumble had appeared.

It is hard to see because the field of vision is filled with fragments of angel dolls, but Elias knows very well who the owner of this demon is.

“Oh, Dad…”

And so did Lucia, who had collapsed and panted.

After losing her divine power and receiving demonic energy again, Lucia took a breather and raised her head in a cold sweat to look in the direction where Faust was.

“…Dad.”

And Elias also finds Faust through the gap between the fragments of dolls clinging to the shield.

The Faust that Elias had seen before always had a plain expression, but the Faust that Elias sees now has a very hideous expression, to the point of doubting whether he will destroy the world with the slightest mishandling.
