Chapter 201 - Episode Twenty-Six - Devil's Trial (5)
“…… For a joke, it’s vicious.”
Nelgliffe may or may not have heard my words, but he smiled at and then turned his face to the crowd.
“It is true that there was a strange piece of paper, but the whole truth will be revealed before the torch of Levi-sama. Then you can take your ti. Now Chloe, make it quick.”
Then he kept that look on his face and rushed Chloe to kill .
This person …… Nelgliffe probably didn’t even intend to co out unless this happened.
He didn’t even show up in front of in captivity, and he didn’t want to soak up cheap declarations of victory, hoping that I would end up never knowing the end of what happened to Nelgliffe.
“Nelgliffe …… you ……!”
Even if I glared at him, he wouldn’t even bite his teeth.
“Ne-, Nelgliffe-san, why! Tha-, that paper …… you said you want to help Village Chief Heil ……”
Nelgliffe only smiled back when a crowded him.
Then he turned his head to the nearby followers.
“Take her away.”
“Yes!”
Imdiately one of the followers seizes a’s body and pulls her away from Nelgliffe.
“a!”
“N-, no way! No! Abel! Abel! I thought if I’d found that …… paper and that it would help Abel, and that it would solve everything. ……”
Chloe glanced over to Nelgliffe, then lifted her fake torch and re-positioned it to .
“No, it wasn’t in vain. It was great that I was able to drag out Nelgliffe here. If you hadn’t done that, I would have been overjoyed to kill the little thing and miss the big one.”
“…… Chloe, make it quick. Now, with the help of Levi-sama, you will find out. To find out if Abel-dono is a devil or not?”
Nelgliffe glanced at , then rushed Chloe again.
“Light, draw”
I cast a spell and generate a magic circle.
“Wha-!?”
Nelgliffe’s expression finally changed here.
“Stone, crumble”
A light flashed on the arogua stone shackles, and in the next mont, they burst and shattered.
“Rope, untie”
The rope that tied up is untied and my body is released.
There are commotions and screams from around the area, and so people start to run away.
“This can’t be happening! Why is the shackles of Arogua stone has! So-, soone, soone betrayed us!”
Chloe backed away from the scene, sobbing, and distanced herself from .
“Now then, let’s resu the devil’s trial. We’ll do it your way. Let’s find out who is a crooked devil with a bad heart.”
“Abel!”
a throws my beloved World Tree wand at .
I take it and point the tip of the wand at Chloe.
“Wind, transport.”
“Ah!”
I manipulated the wind and lifted the false torch into the air.
Chloe struggled to grab it, but when her body floated a bit, I shook the torch’s handle and shook it away.
The vibrations of the mont bounced Chloe off of it and she fell onto her back from her shoulders to the ground.
“Do-, don’t tell ……!”
As Nelgliffe steps back, he points his fingertips to the torch in the air.
“Water, diffuse it”
“It’s useless!”
I waved my wand and redrew the magic circle that Nelgliffe had drawn.
A mass of water rained down on Nelgliffe, and as if pushed by it, Nelgliffe kneeled in place.
He barely lifted his head, and Nelgliffe looked at with wide eyes.
“Im-, impossible. Practical magic circle redrawing is……”
“Let’s see what’s in Levi-sama’s mind!”
I point my wand at Nelgliffe.
The torch that was floating in the air tilts the torch towards Nelgliffe and falls with great montum as it follows the trajectory of the staff.
“Wa-, wait a minute, Abel-dono! You are mistaken! I’m just ……”
“I’m not going to fall for that anymore! Making fun of people so much!”
“Nelgliffe-sama!”
The next mont, as Nelgliffe covered his face with his hands, Chloe, who had fallen to the ground, picked back up the large staff she had put down to hold the torch and jumped to Nelgliffe.
The large staff knocked the torch off. The torch whirled around in the air and the false torch touched Chloe’s body.
The fire quickly moved to the robe and burned Chloe’s body.
“Ahhhh! Hot, hot ……!”
Chloe thrashed around in the flas.
The noisy Levi followers went quiet all at once, and an awkward silence fell over the place.
“N-, no way.”
“Why did…… Nelgliffe-sama is?”
“Not the torch ……? Tha-, that’s really……”
The unrest among the followers was spreading.
Since Nelgliffe was the main culprit, we assud that most Levi followers were here with the intention of taking over the territory, but it seems that the amount of information given to the followers differed greatly.
There are so forr villagers mixed in with the followers, so it may seem even more so.
So of them seem to have known everything and are running away, pale faces.
“The verdict is in. So you’re the devil, Nelgliffe.”
When I pointed the tip of my wand at him, Nelgliffe broke out of his hardened, blank expression and smiled sadly.
“…… It just doesn’t go well, does it? Abel-dono.”
“…………”
I took that as a sign of defeat.
But I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard the words that followed.
“I didn’t think my beloved apprentice had been replaced by a devil. Since when did Abel-dono realize this?”
“Huh?”
Even Chloe, whose robe was burning and lolling about, was staring at Nelgliffe with astonished eyes.
“It is customary for those burned by the torch to use magic to hold their breath on the spot …… Don’t just keep watching, hurry up and clean up the ss.”
“…… Ah, yes.”
The surrounding followers hold up their wands to Chloe.
They seem to be pulling back, but they still have no intention of disobeying him.
There are accusations from the crowd as well, but they don’t seem to hear.
“H, hey! You think you can fool now with that! You just don’t know when to give up……”
“Water, form, spear” “Water, form, spear”
“Water, form, spear” “Water, form, spear”
The four followers began chanting.
I instantly waved my wand and deactivated all the magic.
I bounced the water arrows, loosening their power and diverting them to extinguish Chloe’s burning flas.
“What are you guys following him too! It’s all over now! Look, there’s not a single villager left who trusts you guys……”
“Transport ”
“Oh n-……”
Nelgliffe, who had been keeping their distance in the midst of the hustle and bustle, disappeared through magic.
I had been distracted too by Chloe and the other followers.
It is necessary to have a magic circle in your destination, or have a magic circle in your destination position before the magic is perford, but it seems that you already have a magic circle in your teleportation plan, just in case it happens.
“You’re going to escape? But the coordinates you specify should not be so far away……”
“Escape? I’m not going to leave you alive in a hurry.”
I heard Nelgliffe’s voice in the distance.
When I turned my eyes, I saw Nelgliffe standing on the roof of the church hall at so distance.
“If you just kept quiet, only you and that little girl could have died…… If we co this far, I’ll have no choice but to wipe out the entire village.”
Nelgliffe rolled up his sleeve and stuck out his arm as he said.
“Levi-sama, please lend us your strength”
A crest erges at the elbow.
It’s the sa as in Marias. It’s probably Levi’s summoning crest.
“One last useless resistance, huh. I’ve defeated Marias before, if you can push through with force ……”
“Summon”
The space far above the plaza distorted and swirled, and a large rift appeared as the gap eroded the space.
“It’s not true, is it? Nelgliffe-sama, please explain yourself…… Ple-, please.”
“Ne-, Nelgliffe-sama! We have not heard that much! What the hell is going on ……”
From here and there, followers scread and voiced their disappointnt.
But Nelgliffe did not show any sentint or reaction to them either.
“Shudder, and praise forever! The power of the great spear, half of Levi-sama’s body! Let it be your last honor to decay before its power!”
Sothing blue and craggy crawled out of the crack in space.
The air changed drastically. Every spirit in the atmosphere was terrified.
Obviously, that thing was different in rank from anything I had ever been involved in.
The color of the sky changed and a thick cloud covered the area.
Even Nelgliffe, who was supposed to be the one who had called them out, had a strained expression on his face.
“Le, Levi-sama! I thought it was supposed to be only a spear! If Levi-sama descends, the seal of the Great Evil God Kudor will be greatly loosened!”
“I have decided that he must attend this banquet in person. This banquet is worth it.”
The thing that erged from the rift was a huge blue arm.
It had watermarks between its fingers, its claws were miserably sharp, and its body surface was covered in scales.
There was an emblem floating on the back of his hand that seed to be a combination of a spear as a symbol and a magic circle.
It is the arm of Levi, the god of water, which does not deviate in any way from the lore.
