Episode 108

Fortunately, the perception blocking spell was working well, and nothing like an attack was launched towards us until we were higher than the tower.

Of course, even so, you must not let your guard down.

“Spider, are you sure your eyes are properly open?”

[That’s right, that’s right, hurry up a little, this is already the fifth time!]

I continued to advance upwards, repeatedly harassing the dracolich and spiders to make sure they weren’t letting their guard down.

It must have been about an hour since the dracolich flapped its wings against the clear, dark sky without a single twinkling star.

As the sky, which had been dark, began to move not just upward but also to the sides, the air currents began to change little by little.

“……I feel uneasy about something.”

Despite the absence of any visible threat, Leona raised her greatsword.

Even so, she is a prosecutor who climbed up the 29th floor on her own.

If she felt uneasy, I thought there was a high chance that something was wrong, so I immediately activated my upward gaze and my fraud detection.

Phew!

But unlike her anxiety, Mana’s eyes did not detect any of that.

Even with fraud detection, not a single living thing, not even a single bird, was detected.

“Dracolich, spider. Can’t you see anything?”

[I can’t see anything… …but I definitely feel like there’s something, Father.]

[I feel uneasy… … I feel like there’s something up there, but it’s suspicious that there’s nothing there.]

By that time, I too began to feel that unidentified sense of anxiety.

Obviously, nothing caught my eye, but I had a feeling of unease as if something was up there… … .

I asked him, wondering if he, Gerriel, the undead with only a hand left, would notice.

-Hmm? What do you feel? It’s just the sky.

All I could hear from him was an answer that didn’t even seem to contain any trace of anxiety.

I thought it might be an act, but as an undead, I can’t hide my feelings.

Naturally, the guy didn’t seem to really feel anything, which confused me.

Should I continue going up? Or should I stop here and go down?

I know it’s crazy to push forward when there’s danger ahead, but it feels a bit disappointing to back down before the danger has even been confirmed.

So, after much thought, I came to the decision… … .

“Dracolich.”

[Yes, Father.]

“We will retreat for now.”

It was a brief retreat.

I don’t know what’s up there, but if the Bone Fortress guys are up to something, it’s irreversible.

So, I decided to be satisfied with going once for now and to gather more information.

Flap, flap.

Fortunately, no one seemed to have discovered or interfered with the descent of the Dracolich, and we landed again a short distance away from our original location.

“Aren’t you going back to where you were before?”

“We need to prepare in case we get caught.”

If the sense of foreboding we felt was something like their detection net, it was dangerous to be in the same place.

So again we moved a little further away and dug down again.

So, as they gathered in the ground again, the guy started to scribble something on the board as if he was dumbfounded.

-No, there was nothing, so why are you retreating?

As a guy who couldn’t feel anything, he didn’t like our retreat and started complaining to us, sulking.

At this point, I even had doubts.

‘If we all felt it but this guy didn’t, did he already feel it?’

That’s why I made him confess all the feelings he had just felt.

Dracolich, spiders, and even Leona.

“I felt like I was being stared at by something very… huge.”

[It wasn’t magic or trickery, it was just pure strength… … ? It was something closer to that.]

[This is the first time I’ve felt that way since I was in this state, ugh.]

At first, the guy got angry as if he couldn’t understand, but after hearing all those words, he felt something was strange and didn’t write for a long time.

‘Nothing was detected, but it felt like there was something.’

Moreover, when I explained the feeling I had just felt, the guy immediately thought of something and started writing it down in a scribbled manner.

-Could it be that you too have heard the voice of our god?

The voice of god?

We immediately tried to deny it, since we hadn’t heard anything like it, let alone a voice, but the guy wrote it down as if explaining it to me step by step.

– Weren’t all those sensations you felt something close to warning you not to come any further? That which naturally brings one to mind is the voice of God that we are feeling.

Let’s go back to those words carefully, it definitely felt that way.

In the end, I also chose to come down, and even the spider, who would have been slightly dissatisfied with that decision, agreed with my opinion without saying a word.

Except for one person, that guy Garriel.

‘Then why didn’t you know that?’

Then why didn’t this guy, who seemed to know more about the god than we did, hear that voice?

As soon as I told him, the guy started to squirm in embarrassment.

-I had already thought something was strange, a voice so huge that even you, strangers who do not know our God, noticed it, but I did not notice it… … Ugh… … .

Geralt, looking puzzled, hesitated for a moment before asking me a question.

-Hey, I told you there was a traitor around here.

A guy who calls himself a traitor because he doesn’t even want to write his name.

It’s true that the guy named Ariasel that the guy mentioned was around.

If the information my undead found out by infiltrating back then is correct.

-If it’s that guy… … he probably knows why I can’t hear the voice of God. I hate to admit it, but he’s the guy who can hear the voice of God the best among us.

‘So, you’re saying you’re going to try to contact that guy?’

Of course, from my perspective of having to minimize contact with the guy, it was right for me to refuse what he said.

However, if we leave him like this, he might come into contact with the guy on his own due to his fanatic personality.

So, I thought I’d better use this.

‘Let’s create a fake body that is as similar as possible to your original body and infiltrate it.’

-Fake body?

The efficiency was lower than expected, so I didn’t really want to use it, but even if it wasn’t the original soul’s body, if the soul could enter it, it was possible to create an undead by borrowing someone else’s body.

But there was one more reason I hadn’t tried it on him until now, even if it meant losing efficiency.

‘This is not your body, but another body, so it will collapse over time. Can you get that information from the guy inside and come back?’

Not only do you not want to exert force on a body that will collapse over time, but if that body collapses inside you, you will naturally be suspected.

That’s why I didn’t want to write about it as much as possible, but since it was related to the god this guy was so crazy about, I felt it was too much of a stretch to just pass it over.

In the end, instead of giving the guy a fake body, I added a few more constraints.

‘First, you will come back when I tell you to come back.’

‘Second, I will act in such a way as to avoid being caught as much as possible.’

‘Third, if you feel that you will not be able to comply with the above, contact me.’

Of course, perhaps because of the excitement of getting his body back, he didn’t listen to what I said, and I swallowed the thought of not doing it over and over again out of anxiety as I rebuilt his body.

Kiriric.

I spoke to the undead, who was so strange that his only original body was his wrist.

“How is it, are you feeling more comfortable with the movements?”

“Good.”

Hard.

The boy’s jaw clicked, as if he was glad to finally be able to speak without writing.

Of course, I didn’t forget to remind that guy of the precautions again.

“Remember, your goal is to get information from him about why you can’t hear the voice of God, and to find out what his connection is to the Bone Fortress.”

He is the only undead who can communicate normally with the Bone Fortress.

So instead of giving him a fake body, I had to find out about his relationship with the Bone Fortress.

It would be a shame if the guy is in league with the Bone Fortress, but if not, I plan on using him again.

“Okay, okay! Thank you!”

Of course, all of this only applies if this guy does his job well.

If there was even the slightest discrepancy, not only would my identity be revealed, but everything would have been in vain.

That’s why I added an extra safety device to the guy’s body.

‘Let’s see.’

Click.

When I moved the guy’s little finger, he looked at me and asked, as if he was curious about his little finger moving on its own.

“What! My little finger was moving on its own a little while ago?”

“It’s probably because you’re not used to operating it, since it’s not your body.”

Of course it was a lie.

The guy’s fake body is ultimately under my control.

The guy’s original body would be extremely difficult for me to handle, but the things that make up his fake body are all in a state where I can immediately control them as I wish with just a single move of my hand.

And along with that.

‘You can share his vision with me too.’

I made sure I always shared his left field of vision, in case he was going to do something stupid.

The guy who didn’t know all this was just happy that I had done so much for him, and I even said goodbye to him.

“I guess I was cognitively impaired.”

[Of course.]

After I saw that the guy had reached them safely thanks to Dracolich’s magic, I spoke to Dracolich again.

“It’s still a long way to go until dawn, so let’s go again.”

[Can I fly again?]

If what he said is true, then what we felt was just the voice of God.

So, since there was nothing more dangerous, we decided to fly towards it again.

“Ugh, I have to feel that again…….”

Of course Leona hated it, but despite her complaints, she dutifully climbed onto the Dracolich’s back, and we soared upwards once more.

As I was ascending towards the night sky again, I found myself absentmindedly staring at the sky.

A pitch-black sky with no moon or stars.

There was not a single cloud in the sight, which was like looking at a piece of pitch-black paper.

‘It’s strange that there’s no moon.’

According to Ouroboros, the sun rises in every world.

Then, of course, I thought the moon would rise too, but was I mistaken?

… … Was it a mistake?

For a moment, I felt something strange.

Up until this point, the sky I had seen while climbing the tower was filled with stars and a moon.

A sky where not a single twinkling star or even the moon can be seen.

Something is wrong.

‘Damn it, I need to get in touch with the stars quickly… …!’

It was at that time that I was trying to summon the stars using the knowledge of stars in my head while thinking like that.

Padadak-!

I tilt my head absentmindedly at the sound coming from down there.

[Ah, Father… … !]

Down below, what appeared to be fortresses of bones began to appear.
