chapter 19
19 – Companion
Kwaak
Beerze clenched the hand that had been thrown away by Ecclesia’s magic.
Unlike the other hand that was hit by my attack, the hand did not suffer any damage.
I thought it was a fairly strong spell… As he said, if it is not an attack filled with divinity, then it cannot cause any damage to God at all.
Or rather, why is Ecclesia here now?
-Other humans…. No. You’re not human, you b*tch.
Beerze growls at the sight of Ecclesia appearing between me and Beerze.
“Hoo. I never thought you would notice that. “Is it God after all?”
Ecclesia is smiling.
Huh? Wait for a sec.
What are we talking about now?
You’re not human.
What….
-The body is human. However, the magic used is not human. It’s not the kind of superpower that humans can use. Rather…… The magic of an ancient race that disappeared long ago.
The magic of Ecclesia is not human magic, but the magic of an ancient race?
But her magic was all familiar magic.
What are you talking about, the magic of an ancient race?
-It’s been a while since I last saw you. An ancient magical race. The magic of the demons.
!!!
I felt like I had been hit on the head with a hammer.
The magic of the demons!
I see!
Why is the magic of Ecclesia so familiar?
Why didn’t I notice that it was different from human magic?
I finally realized the reason.
Was it the magic of the demons that I had seen so many times in my past life?
The subordinate magic that controlled the Duke.
The explosion magic that saved me a little while ago.
-And that’s a magic of this high rank…… They are demons born with a human body. How is this possible? Is this also something Leah did? Could it be that this is a way to revive an ancient race as humans?
Beerze was confused and seemed to think that Leah had caused this.
Rather…… Is this the story that Ecclesia’s previous life was as a demon?
I can’t believe she was a demon.
In that case, it means that he may have been my enemy in the past that I knew.
-You did something quite shocking. But it doesn’t matter to me. Nothing will change in four years!
The intimidating feeling of Beerze starting to dominate the area again.
“Ha. I thought it was used by improving human magic. “The eyes of evil spirits cannot be deceived.”
Ecclesia stands proudly, seemingly unaffected by the intimidation.
“This stupid hero didn’t seem to notice.”
He glanced back at me.
Hero?
Do you know that I was a warrior?
Oh my.
Was I now holding the holy sword in my hand?
If Ecclesia is a demon who has encountered me in her past life, this alone is bound to tell her that I am a hero.
At that moment, the magic that Ecclesia used on Duke Vissus flashed through my mind.
Dependent magic.
In my past life, all demons were good at magic, but among the demons I saw, only one was able to use subordinate magic.
“The devil… ….”
“Have you finally noticed, stupid little brother?”
Ecclesia was the reincarnation of the devil?
“Ecclesia. “Don’t you blame me?”
“Resentment? hahahaha. Arwen, no, Hyunwoo. “Do you remember the conversation I had with you in my past life after I was defeated?”
When Ecclesia heard the words of her resentment, she smiled lightly as if she had relaxed.
Hyunwoo.
My original name on Earth, which the devil asked me at the last moment.
Do you know that name? She really is the devil…… Is it true?
“A conversation?”
“The last conversation I had with you before I lost my life in my past life. Me at that time. “Did you feel like I resented you?”
The conversation we had after defeating the Demon King….
-I’m sorry if you felt that way. I was just curious what the name of the man who beat me was.
-hehehe. Is it. For a man who has conquered this body, it is a simple wish.
-I will not forget this name in my next life.
Her attitude at that time was…….
“No.”
It was friendly.
Even though I slaughtered all of her demons and caused her downfall, she did not blame me at all, as if she realized something was wrong with her.
“Yes. I didn’t think of that at all. “I realized that there were beings who fought against humans and caused our species to become extinct in the first place.”
“Devil.”
“That’s right.”
Was it really the devil?
Those who made the races of Middle-earth fight against the demons who did not need to fight.
The reason why the Demon King lost his will to fight in the end.
“Well, I just found out that you are a hero.”
“Ecclesia.”
“And you are my younger brother. Yes?”
She approached me, whose body was stiff from the intimidation of the evil spirit, and infused magical energy into my body.
When touched by her hand, the body was liberated from Beerze’s power and became free.
“Ecclesia! How did you… !”
“He was a demon king in his past life. “If I couldn’t even overcome these things, how could I become a king who leads a tribe?”
It is possible to neutralize the intimidation of God!
My body felt so light, as if it could fly.
Has my body, worn out by successive battles, also recovered?
-Have you seen these shameless bastards? How dare you chat in front of this Beerje!
At that time, the evil spirit became angry and roared loudly.
Kugugu Palace
I could feel that the guy was increasing his strength to a level that was incomparable to before.
No matter how much he has been pushed out and weakened by our children, the difference in rank is so overwhelming that it still feels like he is a god.
But the person I am now is different from the person I was before.
Now that I’m free from that guy’s abnormal intimidation….No more being helpless.
“Ecclesia. The opponent is God.”
“Hmph. I know.”
Her voice doesn’t feel tense at all.
“The magic I used earlier. It was by no means weak magic. A magic powerful enough to rip apart the skin of even the mightiest of ancient dragons. “But there’s not even a trace of damage in his grip.”
The hand of the guy who was definitely hit by Ecclesia’s magic was so intact that he didn’t even notice that it had been attacked.
“On the other hand, his other hand was split in half and tattered. “Hyunwoo, judging by your energy, I guess that’s what you did.”
Perhaps, as Beerze said, only divinity can cause damage to a god.
To understand that just by looking at it in just one moment.
Should we call it Ecclesia?
“I will support you. And you will suffocate the evil spirit.”
“Okay.”
“Rune. Haste. “Strength.”
Numerous magic circles were seen rapidly appearing and disappearing around Ecclesia.
At the same time, a powerful force overflows through my whole body.
Are you putting a buff on me?
“It is the first being in history to receive the full power support of the Demon King. Know with glory.”
“hahahaha. Yeah. “I will do as you command.”
Wow
Based on the overflowing power, the power of the holy sword was summoned.
The size of the sword cavity is so huge and dense that it cannot be compared to before.
You mean this is divinity?
It is the power of divine death.
Huh.
What’s wrong with God?
“The devil and the hero joined hands. “Who will be my opponent?”
The strongest of mankind and the strongest of demons.
“Heh. “I see.”
Ecclesia chuckled upon hearing those words.
-Die!
Kugugugugung Palace
Numerous cracks of destruction appeared in the air.
Numerous magic bullets were fired from there, incomparable to what happened before.
But.
Kwaang Kwaang Kwaang
My sword energy, which I swung with the support of Ecclesia, destroyed all the magic bullets.
-What! What a lowly mortal!
You are a lowly mortal.
Yes.
Let’s see if this sword is okay after getting stuck in your chest.
Taat
I just leapt forward.
There were still countless magic bullets targeting me in the air.
“Bind. Hellfire. Chain Lightning.”
They were all intercepted by the magic of Ecclesia.
An organic connection comparable to, or even better than, past colleagues.
I passed all the obstacles and arrived at the evil spirit.
“Go, Hyunwoo!”
-Go away, mortal!
“aaa!”
Kwaang
-Kaaa!
I plunged the holy sword into the guy’s chest.

Realm of the Gods
Leah’s Cradle
Kuung Kuung
-The flow of divinity?
Leah raised her head in the aftermath of the battle that could be felt in Middle-earth.
-Divinity… It is a familiar divinity. Beerje…. Was he alive?
Chaae Aeng
A divine instrument summoned by Leah’s grasp.
She held the staff that symbolized her power.
-The place is…… Middle-earth!
