The Executed Sage Reincarnates as a Lich and Begins a War of Aggression Chapter 176: The Sage Learns Part of the Truth

At that mont, I felt my mind go blank.

Astonished, I thought over the truth I'd just heard.

The Will of the World gave power

Of course, you're surprised about it. Even I'm surprised about it, after all.

Gwen said that in agreent.

She then continued in an aggrieved tone.

Based on what I feel, you got the support after you entered the spiritual world. It seems to allow you to ignore your opponents ability. Congratulations!

Gwen clapped as she stared back at .

However, it was clear that she didnt really appreciate it.

She then began to complain in a slovenly manner.

I thought it was strange from the beginning. I couldnt dissolve the geas regardless of how much ti has passed. I originally tried to dissolve the magic while you were busy fighting the two. I never knew it was sothing I couldnt dissolve.

Gwen continued her monologue.

She was dissatisfied that her own counterasure ended in failure.

I understood that feeling.

I had suffered from unforeseen circumstances many tis.

I'd experienced that both during my ti as Sage and Demon Lord.

Even though I was in a different position now, I figured that difficulties would always co my way.

The Will of the World Although we, the beasts of the outer worlds, refer to that with another na, basically its power is troubleso. To those of us who are trying to invade this star, we consider it as sothing close to a nesis. By its very nature, it would always stand in our way.

You know the true nature of the Will of the World?

I asked her with certainty.

I was always impeded by the Will of the World ever since I beca the Demon Lord.

It seed the beast of the outer world considered it as their nesis, but that was also true for .

The Will of the World was always trying to get rid of using unreasonable phenona.

Gwen sighed loudly and replied while having a distant eye.

We tried to slip through it by trial and error, after all. Well, I guess I suffered damage from it brilliantly this ti.

Gwen shrugged and shook her head.

I could see a glimpse of resignation.

Then she tilted her head and asked .

Havelt-san, you have vaguely noticed it, yes? After all, you are always thinking about the Will of the World.

Who benefited the most from the intervention of the Will of the World? If you just pay attention to that, you should be able to find your answer eventually.

Gwen stated that as she looked at my eyes.

Her words werent sothing I could ignore.

It was clear to who benefited from it without even needing to think.

However, I tried not to think about it.

I already ca up with an answer in the edge of my mind.

Although I was aware my answer was likely to be the correct one, I tried to not think deeply about it.

Gwen might be trying to mislead .

There was a possibility she was guiding to the wrong answer.

Considering how cunning she was, I wouldnt know what she might be scheming.

I would take her words as reference, but I wouldnt consider it as the whole truth.

I wasnt at the stage where I'd reached a conclusion just yet.

In Havelt-sans case, you have been influenced by it during your days as a human. You were backed by the Will of the World when you were the Sage who tried to go against the Demon Lord.

I know.

I was one of the people who defeated the Demon Lord.

My sheer effort wasnt the only reason I managed to beco a Sage.

I was able to grow as a Brave after various encounters and experiences.

I doubted that the Will of the World had so involvent in that matter.

Fate was drawn upon that person and that allowed us to subjugate the Demon Lord at that ti.

When you beca the next Demon Lord, that Will kept impeding your steps, but when we the beast of the outer world ca to invade, that Will once again turned into your ally. Wow, you sure are being played by it.

Gwen laughed as if she found that funny.

After laughing for so ti, she beca expressionless.

Well, lets put the end of our chat here. Although I have fun talking with Havelt-san, I still have tons of things I have to do. Its ti for us to part.

Do you think I will let you go just like that?

I pointed my magic powered sword at her.

The forbidden spells were ready to be unleashed at a monts notice.

Gwen put her hand on her waist and pondered.

And due to whatever reason, she folded her fingers in front of her chest.

Uhn can you let go if I beg you?

She looked at with upturned, moistened eyes.

Obviously, I didnt lower my sword.

I kept exuding my killing intent.

Gwen then shrugged her shoulders exaggeratedly.

She then exhaled sulkily.

Of course, thats what you do. I knew that already, really.

Gwen mourned as her outline collapsed.

She lost her form and transford into innurable tentacles from end to end.

Her body rapidly swelled, to the point I had to look up.

Then what appeared before was a mountain of tentacles sitting above the sand.

gess Ill wam up befre fightng the defense chanism

A voice ca down from above.

On the surface of one of the tentacles, there was a mouththe only thing left from her humanoid figure.

Then eyeballs erged from it and spun around as it stared at .

Wll then, it's serius t fr Gwen-san will sh you lik an inect, so b redy for it, okay?

Gwen, who'd turned into a tentacle monster, attacked with the montum of an avalanche.
