#9 Their story: Risen de Roas story.
Mhmmf
I felt myself co back to the world of the living.
Its cold. I can feel the wind blowing from sowhere.
Where is this place?
-What do you an, where is this place. Its the top of a flagpole. And right now, youre a flag that cant even flap in the wind.
Ahh. Thats right.
I bullshat that Lady Aris had fallen for Nerkia and I got caught by a very angry Lady Aris, got beaten up and fainted, right?
But still, Lady Aris.
Did you have to tie to a flagpole!
First sin. Betraying the academy.
Just then, I heard Reedans voice nearby.
Hm
When I turned my head around, what I saw was were countless red, blue green and brown lights, and even so yellow and white lights added in the mix as well.
Elentals.
That ant that the summoners that used Elental Roar had all co inside the castle.Fll0w current novls o/n n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(c/o/m)
And the sinner theyre talking about.
There could only be one person. Nerkia.
Heh heh, serves you right, Nerkia.
You dare have a whopping five girlfriends?
There is no way this Risen de Roa would ever allow that, now is there?
Just for you, I only picked out the nas of so very important people as your so-called lovers?
Even though the idea that they would be is absolutely ludicrous, but theres no way theyd believe you even if you denied it here?
And the trial that began
Ended completely outside my expectations.
If those are my sins if being the lover of those girls is a sin! Then the price for that sin, I will pay it, and gladly!
-Kahh. Hey, contractor. Do you have the gift of prophecy or sothing? I dont have an ability like that.
By any chance, you havent contracted so other god without telling , have you?
I heard Lokis amazed comnts.
I heard him, but I did not understand.
Nerkia, what manner of bullshit was he spouting now.
All I did was na the most famous beauties of the Four Academies that I knew.
Moreover I even pulled in the daughter of a margrave, that wasnt even attending any of the academies yet.
And it was all true?
All five of those girls were his lovers?
Lies
Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies.Lies
Yeah, it had to be a lie.
There was no way that could be true.
He already had five lovers.
But all of them were from good families, all of them were talented in their own right and they were all beautiful as well?
You are you so legendary hero or sothing?
Are you a harem novel protagonist!
-Loki.
-Wiing? Whats up, contractor?
Co.
I watched Nerkia brazenly declare war against a swordsmaster and a hundred elentalists.
How unsightly.
-You said you made that bamboo spear to kill that god that wouldnt die or whatever, right?
-Hm? Its not a bamboo spear because its not made out of bamboo but yeah, more or less.
-I can totally understand your feelings as to why you did it so I want to kill that disgusting asshole too.
-Ahaa~ but wouldnt it be a touch too impossible? I know for a fact because we had heroes in our world as well, and right now if you stuck him next to one of the folk we called heroes, hed fit right in?
Really, now?
-I heard that a lot of heroes died because they angered the gods?
-They did. There were a lot of them that were children of gods themselves, and there were also those that were worshipped like a god. We had a lot of them mistake themselves as gods themselves.
-Well, then doesnt that asshole deserve divine punishnt as well, then?
-Haa? But youre human, arent you? Youre not asking for help by any chance, right?
Indeed, this is my anger.
Not Lokis anger, but the anger of myself who had never had a lover in my entire life.
-In that case I reject my humanity, Loki!
-Urk? My power?!
I drew upon Lokis power under my own will.
Descension, a technique of accepting a god into yourself to borrow their strength.
This anger would not sate itself with just that.
In that case, I simply need to beco a god myself to unleash divine wrath.
A way for humans to beco gods.
Although she wasnt exactly human, we had an elven teacher show us how, didnt we?
As a student of Yugrasia.
I simply had to use the technique we learned from the teachers, Ascension.
-A, are you mad?
-I am mad! Do I look like Im sane to you?
-I confess. In all my divine life, I have never, ever seen a madman to surpass you! Kahahahahaha!
Loki had moved on from snickering to outright hysterical laughter, and he said to happily.
-Alright then, do it! Use my power as much as you desire, and unleash your wrath!
A dominating power began to flow into .
Not just Lokis power, but ones even beyond him!
-What is this?
-Im not all that strong among the gods. But my children are strong enough to defeat the strongest gods of them all. This is the power of my children. Contractor.
Can you withstand it?
I rembered hearing Professor Nicerwins tales.
Lokis children,
Vanargand Fenrir.
The World Snake Jrmungandr.
And the Goddess of the Underworld, Hel(1).
Each one of them were all monsters on the sa level as an archdevil.
Did Lokis Ascension an I had to be able to take on their power as well?
In that case.
-Of course I can!
I will take in that power. The aftermath?
I felt like if I could execute that motherfucker Nerkia then I could even make a contract with the silver devil.
And so, after a mont that felt like an eternity.
-You madlad, you actually accepted it.
I, beca a god.
Shadows.
I cut the ropes that bound with shadows.
Even after the ropes that stopped from plumting through the air was cut, I did not fall to the ground.
I could use the shadows as a dium to draw on the power of Lokis children.
Very well, I will kill you.
Risen
My eyes t Nerkias.
Nerkia!
The mont they did, my thread of reason snapped.
Ill kill you, you little bastard!
Show your anger that youve held in for so long!
I transford my shadow into Fenrir and swallowed the Spirit Kings lightning bolts.
Die. Die. Die. Die!
And as Fenrirs shadow was destroyed by lightning, nurous small wolves that were Fenrirs clones were summoned around it.
As over ten wolves suddenly jumped onto Nerkia, he easily defended against them with his elentals.
Death Gods Scythe.
A higher rank scythe than Lokis.
I drew on Hels(2) power to borrow Hels(3) scythe that reaped away souls with every swing.
Kghh.
Nerkia, too, realised that the power imbued in the scythe was much greater than what he normally had to deal with, so he chose not to block, but dodged instead.
His intuitions still as sharp as ever.
The person that was even harder to fool than Karen, with whom Id spent a long ti together even before our Yugrasia days, was Nerkia.
His intuition which let him avoid anything that could be to his detrint made him like a ghost with how slippery he was.
And that intuition had saved him yet again.
But if it is unavoidable, now thats another story!
Suddenly, the world was dyed in darkness.
Are you going to kill us all?!
A giant shadow that even blotted out the setting sun.
I unleashed the power of Jrmungandr, who could wrap itself around the world.
Hup!
Hang on?!
The giant snakes tail struck Nerkia, and even sent Lady Aris flying through the air.
You attacked your allies!
Lady Aris did a half-flip in the air and landed on her feet as she glared at , but it couldnt be helped.
Sotis you needed to make small sacrifices for the greater good!
Die, Nerkia!
I tried to grab Nerkia by Jrmungandrs tail, but Nerkia was avoiding it by a sliver every ti.
But, Jrmungandrs abilities didnt lie solely in its size.
Wait hold up, are you really trying to kill ? Why are you using poison! This is against the rules!
A lethal toxin that even once killed Thor, the god of thunder, the god that Hirto, one of the first years had contracted.
This was Jrmungandrs true power!
O power of water, purify !
Did you think you could detoxify that with just an elental?
He tried to cleanse the toxic smog that was spat out near the tail with a water elental, but there was no way he would be able to purify it perfectly.
It was a poison that even killed gods.
And he was trying to purify it with an elental?
-If thats possible, he deserves the title of hero. Actually, no. Do you call them Braves in this world?
And Nerkia.
Haaaaaaaa!
Are you actually a hero, you little shit?!
He went and purified a god-killing poison with the power of an elental!
Everythings possible for an elental!
Piss off! Maybe if it was a Spirit King of Water, but how the hell did you purify that poison with a highest-rank elental!
Damn it, what the hell. This totally felt like Id beco a villain fighting against a hero.
How admirable, villains!
Had you been fighting against these embodints of injustice against the world the entire ti?
Then, I will chew you up physically!
I switched my shadow from Jrmungandr to Fenrir.
Its size was only slightly smaller than Jrmungandrs.
Swallow him up, Fenrir!
A power that swallowed heaven and earth, and even the king of the gods!
Kgh!
Yes!
Perhaps he had used too much strength into purifying Jrmungandrs poison, or he had been unable to adjust to the sudden switch to Fenrir.
Nerkia could not respond to the giant wolfs fangs and was swallowed up.
Finally, I finally killed Nerkia with my own hands!
-Not yet. With heroes, its never over until its over!
Was what Loki said, but I didnt think Nerkia would ever be able to get out of that place where not even the king of the gods was able to break out of.
Was what I had thought.
He ca out?
A giant light almost erased the shadows entirely as a giant hole opened up in Fenrirs upper and lower jaws, and Nerkia jumped out of the hole.
-Ah dammit, my eldest youve opened up another hole in your mouth again Why the heck does everyone keep opening up holes in my boys jaws?(4)
It seed that hed had holes punched through him previously.
Co, owner of the god-killing branch.
But there was no doubt that Nerkias stamina had bottod out.
The number of elentals he had wielded, which wouldnt have lost to a hundred elentalists, had dwindled to just ten.
Most notable was the fact that there were no highest-rank elentals left, his strongest units aside from the Spirit King, as if they had run out of mana.
All that was left was the Spirit King, two high-rank elentals, and the rest were all mid- and low-rank elentals.
Pierce, Mystletainn.
Roar, lightning spear!
As if he had no strength to either block or dodge Mystletainn, Nerkia poured everything he had left into one final attack.
Hes going to block .
Lets think rationally.
I had to go with the assumption that nothing would go as I wanted it to.
Nerkia had managed to purify a god-killing poison, and survived the jaws of the wolf that swallowed the king of the gods.
In that case, he could certainly defend against the spear Mystletainn that could even kill immortals.
It was my fault for trying to kill him with powers that killed gods.
Nerkia was human.
I made the incorrect decision because I had beco a god that had obtained Lokis power.
Nerkia was human. I just had to kill him as a human would.
Lokis shoes, Scythe of the Fool.
I took out my weapons that I was familiar with.
The mont the smoke created by the collision of Mystletainn and the lightning spear dissipated, that was my mont.
I simply had to slit Nerkias throat at a speed not even he could react to.
Even if he had the abilities of a hero, he would still die if his head was cut off!
Now then kughh?
The smoke created by the explosion between Mystletainn and the lightning spear began to clear away.
But even so, I could not run forward to kill Nerkia.
All I could do was clutch my chest, and stand firm with my knees that threatened to fall to the ground at any mont.
Kgh
Damn it all
Groans burst out from the lips of one hundred elentalists that had been watching my fight with Nerkia.
So of them had fallen onto their knees, and there were many others whose hands were only barely keeping them off the ground, too.
Because Nerkia was
Using a devastatingly cruel attack on us!
Your wounds are awful! Are you really alright, oppa?
We saw Nerkia being supported up by a beautiful girl whose eyes were moist with tears.
Kghh
O, oppa?
I could hear the sounds of people collapsing around .
I, too, wanted to cough up blood and fall.
You dont need to fight for us anymore. Because its our problem.
Because I could also see Arucias vice-president bite down on her lower lip as she glared at .
The very image of a filthy couple.
Ugh
But I was not confident I could continue watching the radiant light they were emitting.
Oppa, since oppa fought for us I will fight too.
Dont, dont do it
They were saying lines that had cringing, but for so reason, I felt like I was getting weaker.
too for you I will fight.
Dont say it
I even ca close to dropping my weapon, my hand was shaking so hard.
Now, oppa
Nerkia
N, no
But very rcilessly, those two went and said it.
I- no, we will protect you!
The words to sink a hundred summoners, no, a hundred solos.
