§ 50. Like a Sword

Laughter echoed through the Great Spirit Forest, cackling over and over. It was laughter bubbling with the delight of an innocent child and the insanity of a madman.

Eldmed, who should have been dead, abruptly sat up. No magic circle had appeared, so he hadn’t revived using Ingall.

“Powerful, mighty, outstanding! How wonderful indeed! As expected of the Demon King’s right-hand man— No, you’re even better than I thought! Of course, this wouldn’t be interesting otherwise.”

Golden light flowed around Eldmed. Powerful magic was rising from his source. Reno twitched in response, her Magic Eyes focused on Eldmed’s abyss.

“The power of the gods...” she mumbled.

“Precisely. As you are already aware, the Demon King beat up Nosgalia rather badly. I allowed the Heavenly Father to borrow my body in order for him to resurrect as quickly as possible, but alas, he never responds to me when I talk to him. Thus, I came up with the brilliant idea of killing off the host—and it went exactly as I’d expected!” he said, laughing with delight.

The Conflagration King’s life had been stolen by the Pillage Blade. He was now speaking by borrowing the power of the other presence within him.

“So your plan would work out either way,” I said.

The Conflagration King’s lips lifted in a smirk. “If the mother of spirits was on the verge of dying, the Heavenly Father would appear. If she died and he didn’t appear, then the Child of God would never amount to anything. If you prevented her death by killing me, the Heavenly Father would appear to stop you. If he failed and we both died together, then the Heavenly Father was never a threat. No matter what happened, everything would work in my favor!”

“Bwa ha ha! How could I create an enemy worthy of the Demon King if I myself feared death? Prioritizing my life over my goal would impede my plans! Fools who fall behind in both their life and their ambitions can lie in their graves for all I care!”

Eldmed clenched his fists as though he were grasping the air. His eyes sparkling, he spoke like an excited schoolboy.

“Do you understand? A dream should be all or nothing, and a life without a dream, without this excitement—this stimulation—is as good as death to me! Now, stop dawdling and come out, Heavenly Father! If you are truly worthy of being the Demon King’s enemy, then prove yourself! Otherwise, I shall claim your divine power as my own!”

As the Conflagration King shouted, the hole in his chest closed up. The curse of the Pillage Blade had been forcibly lifted, returning Eldmed’s life to him.

“Prostrate thyselves, foolish demons,” a solemn voice stated. The Conflagration King looked the same as ever, but his power was clearly on a different level to before. “The words of a god are absolute.”

Nosgalia had seized control of Eldmed’s body. His words were infused with the compelling power of a god. The power almost
