The Devil Who Grants Wishes

132 – Serafia (6)

Kwaaa!!

“…again.”

However, Cerapia’s attack didn’t stop just once. When the light seems to fade, I release the shield and walk again, and at that moment, the light falls from the sky again.

In order to block the pillar of light, you have to spread the shield, so your progress is constantly delayed, and you must immediately spread the shield as soon as you sense an attack, so fatigue is no joke.

Even so, the fuel economy is not good enough to keep the protective film open all the time.

Although it is a level of light that can be easily blocked, it is still a fairly high level attack because it was given strong power by Serapia. It’s a bit of a burden even for me.

In other words, in the end, you have to spread your shield every time an attack comes, but as I said before, fatigue is no joke. If my body trembles, I feel like my head is going to explode because it is a repetitive task that can cause quite neurosis, in which I have to spread the protective shield without thinking about it.

But that doesn’t mean you can’t just run fast right before you get hit. In this place, the light is distorted due to the authority of Serapia, so visual information cannot be received straight away, so we shouldn’t endanger everyone by going to a place where safety is not secured.

Seeing this, it’s quite unfortunate that Faust’s personality has disappeared.

If the personality had been left, Faust’s personality would have taken care of itself and automatically opened the shield, so it would have been very good.

“Tsk… You’re holding me back too much. I can’t believe it’s Serafia who acted so recklessly.”

Belial also spreads a protective shield and peels off cerafia, probably feeling the same way as me.

Belial knows Serafia’s personality very well because she has been bullied by Serafia for a long time, but she seems very surprised that Serafia, who is always hot-tempered and reckless, uses this kind of hit and run tactic.

I am amazed too.

If you had this kind of prudence, I’ll show you from the beginning why you acted so fragmentarily, Won.

“As expected, is this attack just to grab your ankle?”

“Perhaps… right? Serafia knows very well that attacks don’t work, but there’s no reason to keep wasting energy pointlessly.”

“Bitter… You’re a troublesome woman.”

Now that you realize your mistake and hold on to your ankles, it’s too late even if it’s late.

I could have lived my life if I hadn’t been quiet from the start or turned me into an enemy.

…Of course, since the development team, including myself, made Cerapia’s personality that way, it couldn’t have been possible, but–

Pareus-

“Come again.”

Even in the midst of such small talk, Cerapia does not get tired of it and continues to attack.

Well, I hope you realize it a little bit better now. If you don’t want us to go, would you rather run away—what!?

“Wait, this is—”

However, it didn’t take long to realize that this attack was something different.

The will of Faust sleeping in my unconscious is clamoring inside.

My head went white, and my body, which felt chronic fatigue from repeated attacks, tightened its muscles as if it had never happened, raising tension to its peak.

“I’m sorry…”

Instinctively realizing that this attack was different, I tried to cast a new defensive magic in addition to the existing shield, but the timing was delayed considerably as I hurriedly inserted a new magic into the already casting magic.

Of course, even if it is slowed down, it is only about 0.5 seconds, but light is the fastest among all existing things, so 0.5 seconds is not enough to hit the attack in time.

Even if you close your eyes, the pure white light makes it impossible to see anything, and the divine power contained in that light also acts as a decoy, making it difficult to read what is happening around you through mana and magic.

First of all, the protective shield is holding on tightly, but… kuh.

“Is everyone okay!?”

The intense light, which seemed to burn all the visual cells, faded after 1 second, but the traces left by the light for 1 second were very large. It is difficult to judge the situation with the naked eye because the vision has become slightly hazy.

Fortunately, the intense light just wasn’t an attack skill, so I didn’t take any damage, but I still have to see if everyone is okay.

“Yes, yes, yes…!”

“Ugh… yes, that’s fine!”

I shout out and ask everyone if there is anything wrong, and Iris and Lena answer my call one by one.

Phew… that’s good.

I was quite taken aback as the light passed through the protective film and blinded everyone.

…wait for a sec.

“uuu00uuu can possible can’t be enough.”

“I never thought the light would penetrate the shield so intensely. Kugh, from now on there will be a side effect of not being able to see the sight, but I’ll have to spread the black shield.”

Celestine expresses dissatisfaction with her sore eyes, and Belial blames her complacency and wants to change the type of shield.

Other characters are also evaluating the light of the past, talking about what to do in the future, or complaining, but I can never find the voice I want among those voices.

“…Lucia.”

“Yes?”

“Lucia… why don’t you answer?”

There was no one where Lucia was.

There is nothing but a barren plain.

**********

“It’s been a while. I’ve borrowed the body of a saint in the past to meet you, but isn’t this the first time I’ve seen you in person like this?”

“…”

It is a divinity that makes the mind far away, and it is a holiness that naturally makes the heart soar.

To the point where, if he hadn’t had faith in Faust and in his father, he would have fainted right away.

Lucia shuts her mouth while facing Serapia’s eyes looking down at her.

Startled by the sight that changed in an instant, Lucia desperately puts up with it and tries to pretend not to be surprised.

“Whoops, you’re cute.”

But such an attempt is, of course, enough to make Serapia whet the appetite even more.

As if seeing a cute hamster held in her hand, a hamster that could explode at any time by giving strength to her hand, Serafia smiled as she twisted the corner of her mouth looking at Lucia.

“You look like you want to ask how you did it? That’s simple.”

After reading what Lucia wanted to say, Serafia snapped her fingers, and the shape of Heaven shuddered and soon began to transform.

Clouds that were pure white enough to feel cozy just by looking at them melt like cotton candy after rain, and sunlight that feels warm enough to embrace all living things bends as it is and then swirls and splits like a rainbow as if it had passed through a prism.

The flowers that were spread out beautifully dried up and died, and then completely turned to dust, the vibrant soil suddenly turned into gray ash, and the blue sky lost its blue color and turned to red.

And in the end, all of them shuddered like a mirage, and then coalesced like paints mixed at random.

It is like looking at oil floating on water.

The space that is just shimmering in rainbow colors without any object or shape is enough to make Lucia who sees it forget to breathe.

It is too hideous and alien to be the place described in the Underworld where moral people die and take comfort.

“This is my own space that cannot exist without me in the first place. Everything you have seen is an illusion.”

And in that space full of shimmering rainbow colors, Serapia pulls the corners of her mouth all the way to a smile.

Even though the expression of mouth caught in ear is just an idiom, Lucia is unable to say anything when she sees Serafia showing the idiom literally in reality.

“If I can get you out of that hideous devil’s gaze, even for just one second, I can distort the space at any time and bring back the things that have entered here. It’s not magic or skill, it’s just a natural phenomenon and a law.”

“…why would you tell me that?”

“Because you are now my toy. Even if you don’t tell your parents what’s inside, isn’t there a girl who doesn’t even tell her stuff to her toy doll?”

Too big to be a girl, too ugly to be a girl.

However, the state Lucia is now in is truly hopeless, to the extent that it is impossible to point it out.

Indeed, Lucia’s fate could be decided on the spot if she said something offensive to Serapia, so Lucia decided not to provoke Serapia.

“…become spoiled.”

Pooh!

“ㄲ… Ahh…!”

However, Serapia is a god.

She can read the minds of mortals who have entered her space at any time, and Serapia, who has read Lucia’s mind, immediately punishes her.

Even if you didn’t say it out of your mouth, the fact that you had such a mind for now can be called hypocrisy, so Serapia can never tolerate such a thing.

Unexpectedly, Lucia, who was struck in the abdomen, fell forward as it was, and with her head on the floor, she clutched the area with her hands and groaned and flinched in pain.

“Don’t worry, I won’t kill you. Well… I’ll have to keep playing with him in front of him and then kill him someday, but not right now—”

Kwaaa!!!!

“—-Haaagh!?”

And Serapia, just as she did to Lucia, gets hit in the lower abdomen with a fist and flies away as it spurts blood.

Serafia, groaning in pain, looked at the person who did this to her with hatred in her eyes, biting her teeth, while holding back the intense demonic energy that gnawed at her body. looked at him with hatred in his eyes and shouted.

“What are you doing to Lucia right now…!?”
