Episode 113

“It’s a toy… You said that back then too.”

Sigh.

Ariasel smiled at the star’s words.

When I saw Gariel, it was like that smile, like meeting an old friend… … but there was something else going on.

“I never imagined we would meet again like this, Star.”

Bow.

He bowed his head.

His head was bent down and he touched the floor, and his body naturally hunched over.

When he saw him crouching on the floor as if he were bowing, Garriel, who had been talking loudly just a moment ago, was so surprised that he couldn’t help but close his mouth.

‘What is this… what the heck is this? What the heck is this?’

But what surprised Geralt was not simply that Ariasel had bowed her head to someone who had taken over her body.

‘No way, is it really true that stars exist like that guy said? Then everything that guy just said is true…? No, that can’t be true!’

As the stars descended, the overwhelming power that had taken hold of my body must have been felt even more clearly by Geral himself, who was in that body.

That’s why he was confused now.

Indeed, if stars exist as Ariasel says, then God has truly abandoned them… … .

‘That can’t be true! You’re a fake!’

I chose to deny it so that my heart would not break, along with the fanaticism that I had maintained for decades, centuries, and even after death.

And the star that had been silently watching Geral’s denial and Ariasel bowing down to him for a long time.

[So, you.]

He turned his attention to me, not those two.

In a way, it was natural, since I was the one who called him out in the first place.

[If you called me for something as trivial as this, you know that you will pay the price for calling me, right?]

The guy laughed heartily as he said that.

Although they are half, stars are truly beings that have reached the level of God.

There was no way that summoning such a being could be without a price, but even so, I had a way out.

‘Do you think I called you for no reason? Stop talking and just look up at the sky.’

As he said that, the guy looked up at the sky, quickly hardening his face and laughing in vain.

[Yeah, you wouldn’t have done something like that without an escape route, would you?]

The sky was still bright and sunny, but the stars knew.

That there is not a single star in that sky.

‘I’ve been up there myself at night, so I’m sure it’s true.’

[Yes, I am so grateful that you even personally confirmed the killing. I don’t know what to do with myself.]

He didn’t seem to appreciate it at all, but judging by his reaction, it seemed like my trick was working.

‘In any world, there are these star guys in the sky.’

Outside the tower I was originally in, and inside this one, there was no place on any floor where stars did not rise in the sky.

They are things that exist wherever there is sky in the world.

They are a species that lights up the night sky, but at least they do not exist in this world.

If you are saying that it never existed from the beginning, didn’t Ariasel say so?

That the night sky was full of stars while they were alive.

‘Of course, I don’t know if it was the Bone Fortress guys who were messing around, or if something happened… … .’

At least it’s not normal for them not to have stars in the sky.

Maybe it was because of that, but the blue and bright star no longer asked me to pay for my descent.

Of course, the reason I called him was because I wanted to try to negotiate with him in exchange for this situation… … .

‘This may be the only way to solve the quest.’

I looked at Ariasel, who was bewildered at the sight of the stars in front of me.

Unlike other people who were frustrated because they couldn’t build the tower, this guy is the only one.

This one guy alone had a grudge against something other than the tower.

Since the Bone Fortress is practically everywhere in this world, it is virtually impossible for me to secretly build a tower and clear the quest.

So, I made a suggestion to the guy.

“Ariacell.”

I continued speaking to him, who seemed embarrassed when I suddenly spoke to him as if I was a non-star.

“If you care so much for your people, isn’t it your job to ensure that your people, your body, and your soul can live in some decent way?”

“……Do you think that would be possible?”

Of course, he said it outright as if it was impossible.

“Didn’t I say this a little while ago? All we have left are our bodies and souls. So this is the best we can do.”

“Don’t you want revenge?”

At the word revenge, a flame seemed to burn in the guy’s eyes for a moment.

“Have you never once thought of taking revenge on the god who abandoned you and ran away with your own hands rather than someone else’s?”

“……Can you do that too?”

“of course.”

The guy laughed at those words.

Up until now, it wasn’t the usual absurdity or self-mocking laughter, but rather a loud laugh as if it was really funny.

The guy who had been laughing and shouting for a long time suddenly asked this.

“……How can I trust you?”

“Isn’t the evidence already before your eyes?”

Then I brought up the second reason why I called out the star.

“Star, who looks better to you, me or those bone fortress guys?”

[Hmm.]

It might seem a bit strange to him since we’re sharing the same body.

Still, the guy listened to the voice of the star.

[Still, you’re a little better.]

“That’s what they say.”

I continued talking to the guy, feeling inwardly grateful to the star for answering as expected.

“You don’t think that the star that has been telling you the truth until now is lying to you now, do you?”

“……That’s not it.”

Since his suspicions started with the star, he now trusts the star’s words more than that of God.

It would be hard to doubt me, who has received such star recognition.

Moreover, the strength of the star was so great that even Geral, who had not believed Ariasel’s words until then, suddenly believed them.

It is only natural that Ariasel, who already knows of the existence of the star, would be aware of its strength, even though Geral had no idea about it at all.

It was obvious what that guy would think of my strength that brought forth the stars.

“Why are you helping me like this?”

However, he asked, as if he still had doubts.

“I know it’s not the right thing to say when you’re in a position to receive help, but I can’t help but be curious.”

“Don’t worry, I’m not offering to help you for free.”

Even if they are half-blooded, if they are undead with giant blood mixed in, even if they are simply made into skeletons, they will become a force on a different level than the undead up to now.

Of course, since the giant race itself is new to me, I will need to do some research, but if I succeed, it will be like gaining a power with a different character from that of a dracolich or spider.

Of course, there were other reasons besides that, but if I had to pick the biggest one… … .

After all, I can’t help but say that what the Bone Fortress guys are doing is exactly like what the Holy Nation is doing.

“I see…… haha……”

dump.

Ariasel muttered as he sat down on the floor.

“……When I signed the contract with those guys, I just felt empty.”

The guy closed his eyes, as if recalling the time he made a contract with the Bone Fortress guys.

“Even if they get their revenge, we’ll just close our eyes and never see it, so what’s the use of it… That’s what I thought, but not anymore.”

Then I opened my eyes.

“Thank you for giving us another chance… and thank you, stranger.”

And as soon as that guy finished talking,

[Completed the 22nd floor quest.]

[Check the player’s achievements and receive additional rewards.]

The translucent window told me of my success, as if my words had not been in vain.

‘It’s really late.’

Even as I thought that, I couldn’t stop the corners of my mouth from going up.

So I just kept smiling until the stars disappeared as time passed.

***

“So… are you okay?”

As I was laughing for a long time, Ariasel suddenly asked me this.

I wondered if there was something wrong with me, but then I realized the words were directed at Garriel and not me.

‘… … .’

He doesn’t say anything.

After watching the descent of the stars, he denied it like crazy for a while, and has remained silent until now.

‘… … I still don’t know.’

In the midst of all this, Geral suddenly speaks.

As soon as I handed over control of my body to him, he naturally approached Ariasel and asked.

“That wasn’t an illusion you created a little while ago, was it? You’re not trying to fool me now, are you?”

“……Hey guy, come to your senses.”

To such a Geral, Ariasel muttered weakly.

“Aren’t you ashamed in front of your daughter?”

“……My daughter, now that I think about it, my daughter is.”

By the way, I think you said you have a daughter.

Ariasel hesitated slightly before speaking to Geral, who was trying to find his daughter.

“I haven’t seen it yet. It probably hasn’t come back to life.”

“……Is that so.”

By the way, Ariasel said that Geral’s daughter also said it would be better not to build a tower.

Maybe it’s thanks to his daughter that Garriel, unlike other guys, is able to think like this.

“But it’s just a matter of time. As far as I know, once they put that fake god out there, they’ll try to revive all the undead like you who are nothing but hands and use them.”

“That means…….”

“Yes, your daughter too.”

Ugh.

Garriel’s teeth were ground out.

“Absolutely… absolutely not.”

“……Even if you don’t believe my story, at least you can believe what those guys did since you saw it with your own eyes.”

Ariasel, who had been saying that, soon spoke to me instead of Gerial.

“My benefactor, whose face I have not yet even seen. So what do you plan to do?”

“I plan to rob those guys of what they are trying to protect, and you can sense that they are panicking and trying to move somewhere.”

As long as he was still connected to the Bone Fortress, Ariasel would notice if anything happened to the Bone Fortress guys.

“After that, I will come and gather you all together.”

“Then… I guess it’ll be a brief goodbye until then.”

I said to the guy who was speaking as if he was sorry, with a sly smile.

“Then, should we leave this guy, Garriel, behind?”

“No, that can’t be.”

Geralt and Ariasel answered my words simultaneously.

“Even my daughter… I can’t let her be used as a meat shield for those guys, at least until they’re defeated… I’ll cooperate with you as much as I can, Mors.”

“Okay, I understand.”

Saying so, I took Gariel’s body.

“……Let’s see later.”

Leaving behind the voice of Ariasel speaking like that.

[Would you like to go to the 23rd floor?]

‘There’s not much left now.’

I took another step towards the 25th floor.

‘The god outside the tower that the God of Magic spoke of… … must be among them.’

It would be nice if the god who used these guys and then abandoned them was inside the tower, but if not, that’s okay.

Anyway, once I reach the 25th floor, my name will spread to the gods outside the tower, and if that happens… … .

‘Even if you don’t come from that side, I just have to go there first.’

So, just wait.

Oh, nameless god.
