Of course, after seeing how things unfolded, Im not going to be an idiot and just stand here and do nothing. No matter how I see it, this isnt the time to be simply watching.

You know about those scenarios where the main protagonists simply stand there while their enemies are wrecking havoc? Although these occur frequently in games, it cant be helped, as they have been locked by the scenarios, and can no longer be controlled until the cutscene ends. But right now, its completely different. We dont have that sort of restriction imposed on us.

Move separately! Evacuate everyone within the shortest time possible!

I shouted loudly to the people beside me, and then, I pulled Oyado and Aliyah towards the southern gate.

Everyone immediately understood, and quickly fled towards the direction they came from.

Oh right, theres still Uncle Gabriel!

I looked at the collapsed building, and then turned to look at Oyado and Aliyah. You two, head to the southern gate first! I will catch up to you two after getting

Uncle Gabriel.

Big brother, I want to be with you

Listen! This isnt the time to be fooling around!

I looked at her sternly, and then looked towards Aliyah. Please, take Oyado and run!

Un Even if you didnt tell me that, I would have done so!

After saying that, she pulled onto Oyados hand. Lets go

Un

Oyado nodded.

Dont die so easily. Be careful

Aliyah said, and then pulled Oyado along as they rushed towards the southern gate.

Really In times like this Dont trip off death flags

I shook my head, and accelerated towards the collapsed building.

Of course, if I had not seen Gabriels name under the collapsed building, I wouldnt have ran over. Anyhow, this guy is several levels higher than me, I shouldnt need to worry about him in times like this

Bang!

Before I even approached the building, the collapsed building trembled, and Gabriels figure suddenly leaped out of the debris!

What the hell, what are you

It took quite a bit of time to heal my wounds. Sorry for the trouble. Seeing my dazed figure standing in front of him, he laughed.

Really. Hurry up, right now, we have a serious problem.

Are you talking about the guy who attacked me? You dont have to be afraid of someone like that. I will deal with him. Once Im done, this country will owe me a great favor, and I will be able to openly ask the Emperor for one of those Smuu households machines.

So this guy actually have this sort of idea in his mind. Hes really honest about his motives, huh

But its impossible for you, you know. I said as such.

Eh? Why?

Are you able to defeat a Demon God? Demon God?

Hearing my words, Gabriels smile stiffened in an instant.

I think we should hurry and evacuate everyone before that guy goes berserk. That bastard actually summoned a Demon God Hes an existence we cant hope to deal with.

This

Before he could even reply, a bolt of lightning was shot towards the sky from the direction of the altar. Immediately after, with the bolt of lightning as its center, the sky began to slowly darken.

Black clouds began to spread wildly, and not long after, the sky above an entire half of the imperial city was dyed black.

Wha

Hurry and get the people at the northern gate to flee. Right now, fleeing takes priority.

Un.

After giving a firm nod, he immediately spread out his wings, and with a shuaaa sound, he flew towards the skies.

Seeing that hes heading towards the northern gate, I can now flee as well? Of course, thats impossible.

Conceal.

Leaning against the shadows, I immediately activated the Rogues Conceal skill. My figure was instantly absorbed into the shadows.

I raised my head up to look. Blazing Horn was looking at his surroundings. Then, he began to float in the sky, and flew towards the north.

Did he spot Gabriel flying over there? Or was he able to feel his presence? Oh well, thats not important.

I turned and faced towards the altar. I drank a MP Recovery Potion, and tapped

on the Flash Movement skill.

In the next instant, I appeared above the altar.

Time is of the essence. I quickly rushed towards Zhaiteng, but after seeing the number of talismans squirming around his body, I didnt dare to approach him.

Hey, are you still conscious?

Kill me As long as you kill me, his summoner, he will return to the Abyss otherwise

I say, since you knew that he was going to be this dangerous, why did you even summon him? You dont even wish to conquer the world. Look at your titl No, look at you, with just a simple glance, I can see that youre a bad guy. Then why couldnt you have simply played your role correctly, and control him after summoning him? Now, see what you have done? Youre now the one being controlled instead. Tell me, what are we supposed to do about this situation?

Thats why Kill me

Arcane Punishment Tearing Cross!

Since he already said that much, how can I not fulfill his wish?

I immediately summoned the Tearing Cross, and stabbed it towards his chest. Of course, things didnt play out that easily as how I thought it would be. The

moment the cross collided with the talismans, it immediately turned into smoke and dissipated into thin air.

Eh?

Talismans that carry the effects of Dissipation huh Hes really thorough with his planning Now, theres nothing thats able to touch me Like this, I cant be killed, huh

Can you please bite your own tongue and commit suicide? Wha

Alright, I know its indeed difficult, and Im not going to force you. Speaking of which, how did you make this summoning formation to summon the Demon God? With such a formidable formation, wouldnt the users be unbeatable if they have this thing in hand?

But hes impossible to control

If you knew he cant be controlled, why did you even summon him? Are you trying to incite a world-level disaster? And destroy the entire world?

Thats why, I only did it when I was about to die.

No, no. That isnt a reliable reason, hey. Did water enter your brain or something? For the sake of world peace, couldnt you have installed a time-bomb in your body? That would have been your greatest insurance, you know.

Then

Alright, then you had best think of some idea to solve this. Either you tell me the method to summoning a Demon God, or tell me the method to removing the talismans on your body.

If its summoning, you need to use something your target has once left behind as a catalyst. Then, you must possess a large number of high-grade magic crystals, at least 50 of them. And as to removing the talismans on my body, unless its an absolute holy existence, otherwise, its impossible to remove these talismans set by a ghost of this level.

Holy

I pondered for a moment.

Out of the people I know that can be termed holy Or might be related to this term in any way I dont think theres No, that might not be the case. If I were to really think about it, I really do know someone like that. Though she does carry the title holy, shes currently

Alright, in times like this, I have no choice but to try it out

Do you know of something thats capable of removing my talismans? I will only know if I try.

With this said, I immediately walked over to the side of the summoning formation.

Then, I threw all of the magic crystals I have in my inventory onto the formation.

The magic crystals that absorbed the energy from those Shikigamis back then are also included. And before then, I have been collecting quite a bit of magic crystals myself. I was able to form a small hill of magic crystals after throwing all of them out.

This should be enough.

I nodded satisfyingly, and asked Zhaiteng. Whats the incantation?

What are you trying to summon? If you dont have a catalyst

Just tell me the incantation already.

Oh, the fearful gate that leads to the other side, please follow this signal and seek its origin, and lead it to the current time and space!

After I recited that, the magic formation lighted up. I smiled. This was natural, after all, I had already placed the so-called catalyst down onto the formation earlier.

And after he told me the incantation, I recited it myself, and hence, the summoning formation was activated.

Im really too quick-witted!

Rays of white light burst out from the magic formation, accompanied by a bone- piercing chill.

Not long after, a figure slowly appeared above the magic formation. I laughed, and walked over.

Yo, welcome back~

This place is Eh? Why am I here? Because I summoned you~

I stretched out my hand, and pulled her up.

But right now, were in quite a pinch, so I need your help, Ms. Snow~

Thats right, the person I summoned, was Ms. Snowmystel, who turned into an undead!

And the catalyst that I placed on the formation to summon her, was the bow she once used before.

Alright, Ms. Saint. Help us save the world.
