Episode 86

The two of them, who had been fighting among themselves, somehow managed to finish talking, then spoke to me in a pressing tone as if trying to correct my misunderstanding.

That was exactly what the star said, and Ouroboros still had a playful, grinning tone.

[If you guys had only managed to destroy the tower, I would have been disappointed, but I came running here because I heard that you guys had completely stopped the fifth guy’s magic.]

“……Was that something that could happen?”

Of course, I knew that it was a big deal for that star to become one with the sun, but was it really that big of a deal that would let me vent my anger?

Ouroboros provided the answer to that.

[Of course! If that guy really became one with the sun, he would be no different from being a demigod, taking a step closer to being a god. So, he would be someone that we would find difficult to mess with!]

“……It seems like you and that guy weren’t on good terms.”

Even though they are supposedly demigods, when I look at their actions, they seem to be no different from what the nobles and kings did when I was outside the tower.

It is exactly the same as how he would try to bring down a nobleman he was not on good terms with if he tried to rise in the ranks, or even go so far as to start a war.

[I won’t deny it, but this is also for the sake of balance.]

“Most of the guys I know say the same thing.”

What is the balance of power between the two? They have to maintain similar power so that they can check each other, and if that breaks down, the other one can run wild.

I can’t say that it’s all wrong, but the biggest reason is probably the feeling of not wanting to see others do well.

[Star may be like that, but I’m not like that at all? I don’t really have any ill feelings toward that guy, and if anything, we’ve maintained a good cooperative relationship~ But not now.]

Ouroboros laughing hysterically.

Apparently, this guy originally didn’t want to come forward, but the stars asked him to come forward.

Nevertheless, if all that is true, then there is a reason why he betrayed me even though we had friendly relations.

“What is the reason?”

[It wouldn’t be fun if I told you that! But someday, when you’re on the same level as us, I’ll tell you!]

Killkillkill.

Star sighed deeply as she looked at the laughing Uroboros and spoke to me again.

[… … Anyway, we met you once and knew what kind of person you were, and you did a much better job than expected, so we decided not to blame you.]

“That’s fortunate.”

When I was in the military, there was a boss who was hell-bent on punishing me no matter how well I performed.

I found out later why, it was because he simply didn’t like my attitude.

For me, who has been treated quite harshly by most of those in power, Byul’s attitude of judging only by performance felt quite refreshing.

“I haven’t seen many people as judgmental as you.”

[… … Is that an insult? Or a compliment?]

Although he reacted somewhat awkwardly, when he realized that I had complimented him, Byul slightly raised the corners of his mouth as if he thought it was not a bad thing.

[Well, the stars are like that, and so am I. The reason we came here is not because we have other business for you, but to give you a reward of our own!]

“Even compensation?”

At that moment, when I was wondering why he was giving me so much, and was starting to doubt it, Ouroboros laughed and said.

[Since we are in a position where we have to act rashly, we face a lot of sanctions, and we don’t want to look bad to the other half-gods or the administrators, so we have no choice but to indirectly interfere with players like you!]

“……So, what can we do without using us as long-term partners? Is that it?”

[bingo!]

Clap clap clap.

Ouroboros, who applauded and laughed at the words that openly called us long-term horses, continued speaking.

[Of course, most of the guys we talk about in long-term language are guys who are intoxicated by our power and worship us like gods, but there are only a handful of guys like you who fight back against us?]

[While we’re on the subject, I’d like you to know that you’re being treated specially.]

The star that interrupted Ouroboros’s words began to speak to me as if complaining.

[If my followers saw you acting like this, they would be shocked and dumbfounded. Even though you are in a special position among those who have received my power, shouldn’t you at least not treat them like this in front of them?]

“……I’ll try my best.”

Even though it was just an empty promise, Byul’s face brightened up a little.

After all the stars had finished speaking, Ouroboros finally intervened and spoke.

[Anyway, you can think of this as a reward for your hard work. There may come a time when we have to ask you to do more work, so we’re supporting you so that you can become stronger!]

“If that’s the case, I’ll gratefully accept it.”

There is nothing wrong with having too much power, as long as it is not used to bind me or make me their own.

At that moment, the bodies of Ouroboros and the star seemed to shake slightly, and soon the star muttered in a voice that seemed to be regretting it.

[… … Oh my, is it time already?]

[What can we do! Those managers are busy these days, so we have to take care of it.]

Ouroboros, who said that as if he had no choice, soon looked at me and muttered as if he found it interesting.

[Oh, I was wondering what to do with my scales. Did you use them as a sacrifice for the power you used to kill that dragon clone?]

“……You just gave it to me without knowing how to use it?”

I remember asking for as much strength as I could handle, but I wonder what I would have done if I had lost.

[Hahaha, so what! It looks like you used it really well and won in the end. Am I wrong?]

“……Well, that’s true.”

In the end, the scales Ouroboros gave him once again cast a curse, preventing him from regaining his original powers.

Even if that hadn’t happened, we would have won, but considering the tower collapsing, it was the optimal timing to end it then.

[I tried my best, even if it was limited, so I think this will be good for you!]

Then Ouroboros snapped his fingers.

Swish.

I felt something hard on my palm again.

The feel of those scales that had clearly crumbled over and over again.

But this time something was different.

Instead of crumbling away or being held firmly in my hand, the scales were slowly sucked into my palm.

It hurts.

At the same time, the scales of the thing that had penetrated my hand and entered inside soon appeared on the back of my hand.

[I have acquired circulation.]

A translucent window informed me of the acquisition of that power.

But the window that came up after that was a little different from the ones before.

[circulation.]

[???? ?????? ?????? ????]

[System error. Please contact your administrator.]

* * * * * * * * * * * * * *
* * Baca Novel Korean * *
* * * Noblemtl dot com * * *
* * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Where there should have been an explanation, there were only question marks, and underneath that, the word error was written along with the instructions to ask the administrator.

“What is this?”

Even when asked like that, Ouroboros just smiled brightly as if he had no intention of telling me.

Do you really want to play a prank at such an important moment?

[… … Snake, you gave it to me again, didn’t you?]

Meanwhile, the star seemed to know what the snake had given me, so I asked.

[It might be hard for most guys to notice, but… … You’ll be able to talk to the manager anyway, so it’d be better to ask him later. Instead, what I’ll give you… … Let’s see. This sounds good.]

With those words, the star held something out towards me.

Upon closer inspection, it was something that looked like a small blue ball, shaped like an eyeball.

[I think there was a guy among your undead who used magic. It would probably be hard for him to use mana properly as an undead. You can give it to him.]

“Can I feed this to you?”

Although I was reluctant because of its strange appearance, the effect the star spoke of was so great that it was worth enduring that discomfort.

[Yes, if I feed it that, I will be able to provide some of the mana when it uses magic.]

Mana.

Of course, it is one of the most important factors when casting magic.

A wizard’s strength is not necessarily proportional to his mana, but it is important enough that a strong wizard will have proportional mana, so it is good to give something about that…

“If I feed you this, it won’t make you my disciple or anything, right?”

As effective as it was, I couldn’t help but wonder if it might have some strange effects.

To me, the star laughed and said.

[Since he is an undead, he will be under your control anyway, so I refuse to accept him as my follower. If you don’t want to accept him, then give him back.]

Well, if you say it like that.

Still, I couldn’t help but be suspicious, so at least it seemed like I should be feeding this to a dracolich, not a spider.

Since they follow me and call me father, it will be easy for them to immediately notice if there is a problem.

‘Dracolich. Are you okay?’

[… … .]

Of course, he’s still lying down, recovering his strength, so I guess I’ll have to feed him later when he wakes up.

[Anyway, it seems like we’ve finished everything we had to do… … so let’s go.]

[Yeah! I hope we get to see each other again sometime soon!]

After the two of them disappeared somewhere, I was trying to find the administrator who was probably looking for me and started looking through the system’s functions.

“……What is it?”

In a place where there had been no one just a moment ago, someone was walking cautiously toward me.

I thought he might be some weird guy, so I raised my eyebrows for a moment.

‘Are you a child?’

As soon as I realized that he was a young child who had no energy whatsoever except for a small amount of mana that was not even enough to use basic magic, the white flame in my left hand went out on its own.

While I was quietly watching the little child who was trying to approach me, I felt something behind me.

‘The child’s parents? No, the neighbors.’

I thought there were only one or two people, but there were probably dozens of them hiding in the wall of the building, watching the child and me.

It was funny and absurd to see the adults hiding like that, sending their children away.

“……Who are you, sir?”

The nerves I had been putting into such things were soon diverted to that side as soon as the child spoke.

“Are you a messenger sent by God?”

“god?”

Come to think of it, these guys thought that dark, heavy star was a magical god.

For a moment, I thought about denying the mention of that bastard.

‘… … Now that I think about it, didn’t Hegel say that this was a world outside of that guy’s jurisdiction?’

As soon as I recalled that phrase, which I could understand among Hegel’s words for some unknown reason, a good idea immediately came to my mind.

“Yes, I am the messenger he sent down.”

“……Then, do you know why that tower collapsed?”

The finger the child was pointing at was pointing towards the large piece of land where the tower had been just a moment ago.

“Perhaps, our god has forsaken us……?”

A child trembling as if he were afraid.

I was staring at that child.

“I didn’t abandon it, I just left for a while.”

Bam.

He held the child’s shoulder and made eye contact with the child.

“I am leaving for a moment, believing that you will be able to live on your own, even without my blessing.”

“……Is that so……?”

No way.

I had that thought, but I desperately tried to act like I was fooling this child who was talking to me with a sad face.

“Yes, why would I, a messenger of God, lie?”

In reality, he is not a messenger of God and has plenty of reasons to lie.

The child, who believed what I said without even knowing it, soon wiped away his tears and started to turn around.

And I kept watching the child talking to the adults.

[You have the makings of a conman!]

Hegel appeared from the side with a loud laugh.

[Was there a reason to say something like that, even lying about being that guy’s messenger?]

“Well, it’s not like there was necessarily a reason for that…….”

It’s just that, for some reason, I hate seeing those guys believing so blindly that they think that guy is a god.

That was all.

[Haha! I get it even without you saying it. Anyway, I guess I should probably tell you why I came!]

Of course, Hegel, who had guessed what I was talking about, convinced himself and then opened the familiar window in front of me again.

[You must have known when you saw it, right?]

“……I know.”

One of the things I played a huge role in creating Dracolich.

The special points shop was open.
