Due to Diego's gesture, the black energy that left Terdius soon pierced through the screen and returned to where it should be.
After a mont, Terdius in the screen let out a painful groan and then collapsed.
He hadn't lost his life. He had just lost consciousness, fortunately his breath was still attached. Diego pondered for a mont whether to cut off his breath since his usefulness had ended anyway, but decided not to.
Because there was no need to take the life of Terdius, who was now just a 'human.'
And Diego reached his hand toward the air.
"Now......"
Diego slowly released his own power that he had just withdrawn from Terdius. While simultaneously adding the power he already possessed.
Glug-
The black energy from Diego began gradually taking form from simple black light.
Starting from the toes, feet, ankles, calves, thighs, waist, and soon arms, neck, and even face were created.
What was revealed was a lifeform in human form with pale skin.
Diego opened his mouth with satisfaction while looking at the existence he had created.
"You are......my first son that I directly molded, and from now on, you are my 'Great Apostle.'"

After leaving Bahano's borders, I moved my steps diligently while fighting the trendous heat.
'I'm really going to die from being stead. When will we arrive?'
If I had known I'd walk this long, I should have brought Troy.
When such regrets arose, the giant tree entered my field of vision. It was the entrance to the Centaur Forest I had visited before.
Upon confirming the entrance's appearance, I imdiately started running. Because a familiar centaur with bronze-colored body and horse lower body was standing in front of the giant tree.
eting my transportation......no, the centaur who would beco my ride in this scorching heat, I was very pleased.
"Quir!"
I imdiately called his na. Then Quir's gaze turned to . Upon discovering , Quir imdiately ran at a fast speed.
It was quite a speed befitting a centaur.
Thanks to that, I stopped running. Then Quir arrived before
shortly.
"Church Leader, have you been well?"
"Yes, I've been well. How about you, Quir?"
"I've been well too. But since there's no ti, hurry and get on."
"Ah, yes!"
I imdiately climbed onto Quir's back. Then Quir moved like an arrow.
'Ha, it's cool.'
Thanks to Quir's swift movent, wind ca even in the heat. While I was briefly enjoying that wind, we soon stood before a tree.
"────."
Quir chanted in a language I couldn't understand, just like before. Then a portal was created in the tree.
'We're finally here.'

Upon Success: Next quest updated
Upon Failure: -
Final Success Reward: ???
[Will you accept?]
[Yes/No]
I pressed the accept button on the quest window that appeared before my eyes. Since I had co this far, I couldn't ignore the quest.
'Even if it weren't a quest, I can't ignore a lifeform dying before my eyes.'
First, after answering Phinis that I would, I slowly examined the elf.
The entire right arm was already dyed black. And to check the exact condition, I pulled back the vest-type clothing covering the elf's upper body.
"......!"
The condition was serious. The intense black energy that had climbed up the right arm.
The energy was sharply extending toward the elf's chest like an arrow targeting the heart.
"I-I and the centaurs couldn't treat this person. Because if we carelessly touched them, we would also be contaminated."
Phinis spoke in a voice mixed with tears.
"Yes. I understand what you an."
That ant Phinis and the centaurs also knew what had contaminated this elf.
That's why they called .
"This is the Evil God's energy."
"Yes, that's right. Church Leader, only you can help this person."
Right, it was as Phinis said. The Evil God's power that struck this elf must have flowed from the real 'Black Arc.'
The 'Black Arc' was the Evil God's energy itself, powerful enough to turn even ordinary monsters into crazed beasts. Except for apostles or high-ranking officials of the Diego Church who received power from Diego, anyone who carelessly touched it would be devoured by that energy in reverse.
If I didn't have Kyros's holy power, even I wouldn't have been an exception.
"Right, child. Only you can do this."
Kyros, who had entered inside at so point, spoke.
"Yes, I know."
After answering Kyros, I imdiately reached my hand toward the elf. And after grasping the elf's contaminated hand, I used the healing skill.
Flash-!
Pure white light burst from my hand. Since the contamination range wasn't that wide, I should be able to heal it.
Hiss-
Fortunately, my prediction hit exactly right. The elf's contaminated arm was gradually purified by the light from the healing skill.
Eventually, all the Evil God's energy that had spread to the elf's right arm and chest was purified.
"Huff......!"
It was exactly at that mont that the elf regained consciousness. I imdiately asked him.
"Are you alright?"
It was at that mont.
Thud!
The surprised-looking elf pushed my body away with both hands. Due to the sudden attack, I had no choice but to fall backward.
'This bastard?'
I felt a flash of anger but barely managed to control my mind.
"How dare a re human touch my body!"
Because I knew well the fact that elves hated humans.
'Right, I know that. But being openly discriminated against by species doesn't feel good.'
I slowly got up and dusted off the dirt on my clothes. Then Phinis flew to the elf and said.
"Bayar! What rudeness is this! This person saved you. He is the Church Leader of the Kyros Church who serves the benevolent God of Beauty, Kyros!"
"What?"
Only then did the elf, no, Bayar seem to co to his senses as he looked at
with an awkward face.
"Right, that's correct. This child is my first apostle."
Even Kyros stepped up to defend . Right, right. Well done, Kyros!
At that mont, Bayar looked at Kyros with greatly widened eyes.
"C-could you be......"
"Right. I am Kyros!"
Kyros, floating in the air, proudly introduced himself. To my eyes, he just looked cute.
But it seed different for Bayar. This elf guy imdiately prostrated before Kyros.
Isn't this species discrimination too severe?
And Bayar earnestly pleaded.
"Great and benevolent Kyros, please help our elves!"
It seed this wouldn't end here.
