The Sub-Protagonist Is Retiring - The Sub-Protagonist Is Retiring chapter 382
382 – 365. Conclusion-5
With the help of the dwarves, the road leading to the temple was wider and more comfortable than before.
However, the inside of the temple was the same as when we first arrived. I guess they couldn’t touch it because it was God’s territory.
The temple of Frihard is made entirely of ice, from the pillars to the interior decorations.
The ice fairies living in the temple happily welcomed me as soon as they saw me.
He was a bastard who had done terrible things to spirits in the past, but he valued the bond between believers who follow the same god as more important.
“Won’t you guide me to your king?”
The spirits gladly accepted my request.
Ice spirits scatter snowflakes and guide you to the place where the Ice Spirit King Grupheid is.
It was a sight full of a dreamlike feeling, but there was no time to enjoy it leisurely.
I passed the spirits that were guiding me and entered the inner part of the temple where I had never set foot before.
At the same time, an extreme cold that ignored divine protection entered my skin.
“Master Frihard accepted humans as believers with great generosity, but how dare you repay his grace with rudeness… !”
“We have to go to heaven right now. “I don’t have time to talk and wait for permission to come.”
“Are you really not afraid of God’s judgment?”
“It is God’s judgment… …. A more terrible judgment is about to fall on the gods in heaven. “It means that our Master Freehart is in a dangerous situation.”
“Say something blasphemous again!”
I shook my head as if I wasn’t lying.
If you explain it step by step, Grufade will understand, but the persuasion process takes too long.
“It may be hard to believe, but everything I said is true. Still, if you don’t believe it, then there’s nothing I can do about it.”
I pointed my sword at Grufade, who was trying to catch me.
If it came down to it, I was planning to ask Frihard to open the door to heaven, risking Grupheid’s life.
If you do that, you will no longer be able to ask for blessings from Freehart, but it doesn’t matter.
Now that we have entered the final phase, it is not a situation to regret losing one of God’s protection.
“…… “Can you prove it?”
“You can do it. “I just don’t have time to prove it.”
“Whether I trust it or not is up to me.”
“That’s right.”
It was funny to ask people to trust me when I was threatening them with a sword.
I didn’t say a single false word, so I went forward with a calm attitude.
The effect seemed to have been quite effective, as Grupade began to suffer seriously.
There is a conflict between the belief that the Lord cannot be easily defeated and the loyalty that worries about his personal safety.
It was unfortunate that his name was Spirit King, but he was whining like a puppy, so I decided to make the choice easier.
“If you can’t make up your mind easily, why don’t you ask Frihard what he means? “If you are the Spirit King of Ice, you can receive revelation directly from him.”
“Umm… ! “I’m sorry to contact you about this, but I guess there’s no other way.”
Gryupade quietly closes his eyes and meditates.
It seemed as if he was praying to receive the will of Frihardt.
However, as time passed, his expression was decaying.
“I guess I got criticized for asking a useless question?”
“If that had been the case, I would have felt at ease, but unfortunately, Mr. Freehard did not say anything.”
“You must be very busy.”
“No, this is the first time something like this has happened. Unlike other gods, Freehart is a simple person who built a temple under a remote snowy mountain. He was not interested in increasing his followers, but instead valued those who followed him. “No matter how urgent the business is, he is not the kind of person who ignores my earnest voice.”
Frihard’s usual behavior made Grupheid aware of the seriousness of the situation.
Now I am confident that you will not doubt my words.
“Follow me.”
Grew Fade, who seemed to have concluded his thoughts, turned away the threatening cold and turned inside the temple.
Since there was no reason to fight, I put my sword back and followed suit.
The deepest part of the Frichard Temple is finally revealed.
Befitting its reputation for being simple, the only thing there was a small statue of Frihard and a full-length mirror made of ice.
I didn’t have any particular expectations, but I thought there wasn’t much there for a space that honors God.
“Stand in front of that mirror. Then we will be able to go to where Mr. Freehart is.”
“It looks like the mirror is a door to heaven.”
“This is a one-time use portal created by Mr. Frihard in preparation for an emergency. “It took 300 years of great effort to create it.”
“Is it okay to hand over such a valuable thing to me?”
“Originally, I wouldn’t have handed it over even if it meant melting down. But in the end, there is nothing we can do because Freehart’s safety comes first. If a problem arises, I will take responsibility.”
“Hwiyu! “That’s cool.”
“Instead, make a contract with me and go. “I will protect the Lord who willingly accepted you.”

“That’s because you don’t have time for that.”
“Ha… !”
I passed by Grufade and stood in front of the mirror.
Then, light emanated from the mirror and began to engulf my body.
Meanwhile, Grupade let out a sigh full of dissatisfaction at my actions, which I did without even looking back.
I guess I’m tired of getting angry now.
I smiled slyly before the light from the mirror enveloped my entire body.
“That will happen even if there is no contract.”
“Wow.”
Just like that, my vision became white as snow.

“It’s impossible.”
On the back of a giant dragon that has escaped the battle with God.
These were the words that came from the mouth of the Demon King, who had been planning a strategy there for a while.
She was looking at the map of heaven brought by Lucifer, calmly judged the situation, and came to her conclusion.
“Although we lost a large number of angels, our main force, due to foreign forces, each of our opponents is a god armed with difficult powers. On the other hand, we are a group of people who came to protest without any preparation after being raided.”
“Is there absolutely no hope?”
“It’s not like it doesn’t exist at all. But the prerequisites for winning are missing.”
“What is that? Even if it is a difficult item to obtain, we will bring it to you right away.”
“Unfortunately, it is a person, not an item. “A commander is someone who can unite us and bring us together.”
“Ah… ….”
As soon as he heard the devil’s words, Lucifer sighed loudly.
I know who the devil was looking for and what he is up to.
And what kind of person he is currently dealing with.
“Would it be better to withdraw?”
“So, it would be nice if things got better, but they don’t. The opponent has already sharpened his sword properly. Should they show mercy if we back down? “They were the ones who started the fight in the first place.”
“Then what should I do?”
Even now, on the front lines, dozens of dragons were falling, suffering fatal injuries while fighting against God.
The dragon, who had a reputation as the Light Dragon of Love, was fighting hard, but he became the target of the gods and became a light before the wind.
“If we have any hope, we have no choice but to maintain the front line like this and wait for him to return.”
“But even if he comes, will he be able to turn this war around? You must be exhausted in many ways from fighting a strong enemy…….”
“Honestly, even if he was in good condition, I don’t think he would win in a fight with multiple gods. However, there are definitely things we can look forward to.”
“Is that so?”
“Because he has extraordinary ideas and crazy execution skills. “I believe that they will look at the current situation and think of a way to overcome it.”
“…… “I’m looking forward to him as he was definitely the only one who brought all the arch-demons to their knees.”
The Demon King and Lucifer nodded as they recalled their respective memories.
It meant that my trust in him was strong.
“So, instead of just burying our heads here, let’s go directly to the front lines and fight.”
“Yes, if you lose before you come back, you will lose face.”
The two men joined the front line armed.
A battlefield where the powers of all kinds of gods and dragon magic are rampant.
As demons and demons entered this place, the scene became even more hectic.
Meanwhile, there were people watching this melee from afar.
Although he was watching the battlefield with interest, he flinched and became agitated when part of the white dragon’s wings were damaged.
Finally, the man began to cast amplification magic on his palm, stacking his magic a whopping 10 times.
As soon as the magic preparations were completed, the man stretched out her arms towards the crowded battlefield.
And then they clapped their hands together strongly.
Wow!
The sound of clapping hands, creating a wave that tore through the air, reached the battlefield far away.
The bodies of those who were fighting with all their might froze at the sound.
They all immediately turned their heads toward the source of the sound, and there stood proudly someone who was neither a god, nor a dragon, nor a devil.
“Everyone pay attention! “I have something to say to everyone!”
The man, who caught everyone’s attention even before speaking, began to use amplification magic again to convey his voice to those on the battlefield.
While there were dragons who were delighted with his appearance, there were also gods who blatantly loathed him.
It was easy to tell whose side the man was on from the mixed reactions, but he was actually grinning at everyone.
“Tactical nuclear weapons are going to be dropped here, so everyone, try hard to survive!”
Since nuclear weapons had not yet been developed, tactical nuclear weapons were an unfamiliar word to them.
However, the dragons, demon kings, and fallen angels who knew her man in detail all began to run away in a hurry.
I ran away with all my heart, enough to turn my back on the enemy in front of me.
On the other hand, the gods were laughing at the enemy soldiers running away.
It was easy to deduce that a tactical nuclear weapon was a weapon.
But who are they?
There was no way that an omniscient and omnipotent god could be defeated by weapons prepared by mere humans.
So the gods did not escape from the spot, but rather prepared to strike a blow at the fleeing enemy and the man who held his head stiffly.
Heavenly world, unaware that nearly millions of tentacles were coming down from space.
“I clearly warned you?”
Thinking of the future unfolding in the future, the man smiled almost mockingly.
