We were back in front of the Dragon King Castle after visiting Ramiel.
I kept asking Ramiel questions after that and only learned about Nobunaga's combat style along with his trump card and that I won’t be able to win against the 《Invisible Hand of Gods》.
Ramiel did ntion beforehand that she only wanted to tell about Nobunaga.
Any questions beyond that were aningless.
「Thank you for allowing to have an interview with Ramiel. This allowed to understand her a bit.」
I bowed in gratitude to Riddler.
「I’m happy to be able to assist you, even if it’s just a bit. Let arrange accommodations for you since it seems you’ll be staying here for a while.」
「Thank you, but I must decline; I’ll be leaving Peach Dragon Village. I don’t think I can bring more trouble to this place. Moreover… I want to investigate their whereabouts for now. Just waiting for them to attack doesn’t sit well with .」
「I see… My apologies.」
Riddler apologized with a complicated look on his face.
He might feel relieved inside.
That was understandable since Riddler was the king of the dragonfolk, and he probably didn’t want Nobunaga to lay waste to Peach Dragon Village.
According to Ramiel, despite being one of the world’s supervisors, Nobunaga was the incarnation of atrocity itself.
The place that beca the battlefield against him would not be spared.
「What are you going to do… Pora-san, Philia-chan? We’re going to face a much more dangerous enemy this ti. I don’t think I can drag you into this…」
Hearing my question, Pora’s eyes widened before she let out a chuckle.
「I’ve been telling you again and again: Pora owes you a debt of gratitude, Kanata-san… Moreover, it’s only natural for comrades to help each other in dangerous situations! And since you’re going to fight soone who’s clearly stronger than you, that’s even more reason for Pora to help you!」
「Pora-san…」
「Besides, the closest I’ve been to death wasn’t when facing the 《Humanoid Dragon》 or even Ramiel—it was when facing the devil from the 《Distorted World of Cursed Mirror》… Honestly, it doesn’t feel real that the world’s supervisor is now eyeing you.」
Pora muttered with eyes that looked like dead fish.
「Ahahahaha…」
I let out a dry laugh at Pora’s remark.
「Philia will protect Kanata along with Pora!」
Philia eagerly chid in.
「Thank you very much, Pora-san, Philia-chan…」
Pora’s level was 1032, Philia’s level was 2944.
Their levels were nothing to scoff at, even against Nobunaga.
As long as I focused on protecting them, I’d have a better chance of winning the fight with them by my side.
「… I know this might be rude, but could I ask you to enter the 《Distorted World of Cursed Mirror》 again to raise your levels?」
Philia and Pora’s faces beca stiff at my suggestion.
「K-Kanata-san… I think my level is already high enough…」
Pora spoke with a trembling voice.
「Nope… At your current level, you can still raise it further in the 《Distorted World of Cursed Mirror》…」
「C-Can Philia… choose not to enter the mirror?」
It was rare to see Philia looking so frightened.
「Honestly, I’d like Philia-chan to assist Pora-san in raising her level…」
Philia slumped to the ground upon hearing my response.
「I might not be much help, but may I join your journey? It would leave a nasty taste in my mouth if you all died after we got along this well. I can take care of myself.」
The mont Rosemonde said this, Pora and Philia looked at her.
「Y-You guys… Why are you?」
Both Pora and Philia grabbed Rosemonde’s shoulders.
「Kanata-san, Kanata-san! Rosemonde-san said she wants to cooperate too! Let’s drag her in!」
「O-Oi Pora, did you just say sothing ominous!?」
The personal battle between Veranta and , with the fate of the world on the line, was beginning.
I an, did I really have a chance to win against Veranta with his overwhelming power? In the first place, could I even win? I hadn’t found the solution to that yet.
However, I couldn’t just sit back and let him kill .
This reminded that most of the enemies I had fought so far had been instigated by Nyarlhotep.
The Demon King Mother, Alice the Corpse Doll, Ramiel the Ruler of the Sky, and Adam the Homunculus.
This battle against the 《Invisible Hand of God》 might be my final confrontation with Nyarlhotep.
「We will et Veranta in the near future…」
And right at that mont.
A magic circle suddenly appeared around .
I shielded my eyes from the bright light with my hand.
「This is…!」
A golden-colored gate appeared along with the magic circle’s glow.
I recognized this gate.
It was the teleportation item owned by Veranta.
「It’s the 《Invisible Hand of God》! They’re faster than I expected!」
I touched the hilt of the 《Hero Sword; Gilgash》.
Then, soone appeared from the other side of the gate.
「You are…」
Riddler rushed from my side toward the golden gate.
「I never expected they’d breach a place surrounded by a barrier so easily! But even if they’re ssengers of a higher being, I won’t allow anyone to disturb the peace of Peach Dragon Village!」
Riddler spun in the air and unleashed a claw attack.
「Dragonic Arts, 《Raging Dragon Dance》!」
Riddler unleashed his claw attack.
However, the person erging from the gate easily caught Riddler’s wrist and pushed him to the ground.
「Gah!?」
A loud sound echoed from Riddler’s body.
「Oops… My bad; this seems to be the dragonfolk’s secret place.」
「L-LUNAIRE-SAN!?」
The one who appeared from Veranta’s golden gate was none other than Lunaire.
Unlike her appearance in 《Cocytus》, she was now wrapped in a black robe.
「To think that I made such a blunder right after intruding on your place… I hope this won’t tarnish Kanata’s reputation.」
Lunaire spoke with a troubled expression.
「W-Why are you here, Lunaire-san!? And what have you been doing until now? And that gate should belong to the leader of the 《Invisible Hand of God》… What is happening here…!?」
「SuP, KaNaTA. LonG Ti No SEE… IS whAT I WanT To SaY, buT We’RE CoNStANTLy WaTChING YoU ThOugH.」
Following Lunaire was a luxurious, treasure chest monster… the Noble Mimic.
「Noble too!」
And just when I thought Noble Mimic might have gained weight over the last few months, it suddenly spat soone out.
The person, completely bound by chains, lay weakly on the ground.
His face was covered by a white mask.
He was soone I knew: the leader of the 《Invisible Hand of God》, Veranta.
「Eee…」
A groan unintentionally escaped my lips.
After getting all fired up and coming up with various plans, I never expected that the one presud to be my enemy had already been beaten black and blue.
「… What is happening here, Lunaire-san?」
「I was planning to return to 《Cocytus》 after the incident with the spider demon king, only to discover that there’s so unsavory third party targeting Kanata. So I took the initiative to investigate them—and subjugate them as well. I even captured two of their big shots.」
Lunaire spoke while crossing her arms with a proud look on her face.
It seems she didn’t just capture the leader, Veranta; she singlehandedly destroyed the 《Invisible Hand of Gods》.
I had actually planned to consult Lunaire regarding the 《Invisible Hand of Gods》 since I knew I couldn’t fight the organization on my own. However, she had already found them a long ti ago and deed them a problem.
Still, she acted incredibly quickly.
「nOpE, MaStEr JuSt StAlkIng KanaTA…」
Noble Mimic heaved a sigh.
Lunaire quickly pushed down the lid of the treasure chest and pinned it down with her hands.
「I-I don’t really get it, but… Aren’t they the folks from that 《Invisible Hand of Gods》?」
Riddler asked with a bewildered look.
I nodded.
「… It seems the 《Invisible Hand of Gods》 has already been destroyed.」
「Uhm?」
Riddler stood there with a dumbfounded expression.
It seed he still didn’t fully grasp the current situation.
Honestly, I felt the sa way.
「S-So… What cos next?」
I’d been wondering about that too.
