Never Die Extra (Edited)

Chapter 457



[Yes, if the intermediate world were ordinary, of course, that would be true.]

What Fayna said was somehow diverting from the intro. Evan sighed, facing her wild, trembling golden wings and disturbingly wobbling ochre eyes.

[But you’ve just seen it, Zero. The Dark Magic filling the northern sky!]

“I saw it.”

If Evan were there, he would have sucked it all into his boots.

[The magic is the kind that the Devil created when making the Demon Realm. Absolute magic that transforms certain areas into precisely the same environment as the magic!]

“It was stronger magic than I thought.”

Did such magic appear in Yo-Ma Great War Zero? Perhaps at the time of the last half of the massacres, such magic was unfolding in the southern part of the continent. But it wasn’t the North, anyway. Of course, the original scenario disappeared without a trace when the Dark Magic was released.

“Wait, but right now it’s…”

Evan was considering the additional problem and stopped talking. Fayna grimly frowned and nodded as if his guess was correct.

[You seem to be aware of the seriousness of the situation. That’s right. In the north, there’s an opportunity for chaos in this intermediate system, a gateway to the unknown called the Spirit Realm.]

“What happens then?”

[The magic and the Spirit Realm will blend and create a terrible spirit. There is even the possibility of the demons being influenced by the Spirit Realm…]

Was she saying that, unlike the original scenario, the wizard ended up making a dramatic settlement with the Spirit Realm? This wasn’t excellent news. It made Evan feel even more so to think that it might be because of him, who had invaded the world and caused a disturbance.

“We can’t go north.”

[No matter how strong your power is, it will be hard. I can’t stop you if you want to compete with the Devil right now…]

As expected. Perhaps from the moment the Devil put a barrier in the Demon Realm, he prepared a magic trick to demonize the North. He couldn’t believe he is going to fight the Devil right now. At least he wanted to wait until the special armament was completed.

[The absolute magic used by the Devil shook the balance of the world. Already, the axis was shaking due to the crack in the Spirit Realm, but the balance was utterly broken by his Dark Magic.]

“So, the gods stepped in to balance that?”

[That’s both right and wrong. The balance is so out of order that the gods can intervene.]

Fayna continued with an anxious look.

[The gods are searching for a way to come down to earth. I, the apostle of Mother Earth, was also ordered to cooperate in the name of the other gods.]

The Divine World was a damned place, too. In modern times, it was like handing things over to someone outside your department! What a disgusting corporate culture!

“That’s too much. You’re not even an apostle yourself. Did you report to Mother Earth?”

[Of course, but…]

Fayna stretched her shoulders weakly. It was as if the department had been teased by the others because that department’s position had weakened. After all, the project had become too ambitious.

[For the Earth Mother accepted the requests of many gods, she sent me down to the intermediate world-first…so I’m afraid we won’t be able to act together for a while.]

“Well, you were supposed to keep an eye on me.”

[Ha! Come to think of it!]

Fayna was shocked, and her eyes went round. When she was next to Evan, everything went smoothly, so she naturally accepted the fact that Evan was her party member.

[I was, uhm…the problem has already been solved. I can accept you now.]

“Oh.”

[You have brought not only one Succubus but hundreds into the group and also brought back the demons with terrifying magic, but I know you aren’t on their side.]

“On the contrary, you trust me in this situation.”

‘As I returned to the Mother Forest with the Succubae and Cattleya, I thought I might look suspicious for a moment or two!’

[What are you talking about? The boots you’re wearing tells of how much you’ve slaughtered.]

Fayna continued, shrugging as if it felt ridiculous.

[If you’re not in a position to be hostile to the Demon Tribe, then it’s impossible without you being the Devil’s alter ego. But if you’re the Devil’s alter ego, there’s no point in being wary in the first place, so I decided to trust you.]

“Anyway, I appreciate your trust.”

[Now that it’s happened.]

Perhaps she only came back to say that, but Fayna took a step back and flapped her golden wings. The golden sunlight from the sky seemed truly sacred as it painted her wings brightly.

[I’m going to leave this place now. Once we find the way, I think the gods will get involved in the intermediate world, and things will get complicated…I hope there’s nothing against you.]

“That’s what I mean.”

[Hmm?]

A beautiful atmosphere of parting was formed, but Evan sprinkled salt on it without hesitation.

“I know roughly where the passage could be.”

[How do you know that!?]

“There’s a way to know everything.”

Fayna would find out if she played Yo-Ma Great War Zero once. Whether the Devil opened a gate in the north of where the meshes of the Spirit Realm appeared changed, the location of the entrance in the eastern part of the continent would never!

[Then let me know, please!]

“But I don’t think the gods need to be deposed too early.”

[Hmm?]

“So act with us, pretending to search the way that the gods will cross for a while.”

If you search the gate, you have to go around continually, anyway. Therefore, even if she moved with Evan and searched for the entrance, they couldn’t argue. Evan already knew where the passage could be, so just move around and pretend to be searching hard!

[Hmm?]

“After taking as much time as possible to prepare, we bring the gods in at the optimal timing and match them with the Demons. What do you think?”

[That is…don’t you mean to cheat the gods?]

“Hey, what do you mean cheat? I’m just trying to adjust the timing.”

To be honest, from Evan’s point of view, the gods were the real crooks. Those who pretend to be gracious to humans and accepted religious beliefs, and had little interest in the safety of humans. Yo-Ma Great War Zero described in detail the insidious nature and destructive behaviors of such gods. Even if you rely too much on the gods, this world didn’t see that as a good thing. Perhaps it would have a more terrible ending than losing the war against the Demon Realm.

Therefore, the two must fall together.

[Zero, you’re…]

“I’m sure it won’t hurt Mother Earth. We will be able to expand the influence of Mother Earth among humans during the period when the gods cannot come down. What do you think, Fayna?”

Evan gently reached out one hand to Fayna, the jewel stuck in the circlet on his forehead was shining brilliantly.

“Why don’t you keep moving with us?”

[Hmmm.]

As an apostle, it was right to refuse such a proposal at once. But Fayna hesitated and hesitated again. Indeed, if the gods were to come to earth right away, each would implement indiscriminate missionary work to increase his or her power. In the process, the power of Mother Earth would inevitably weaken…but what if it were possible to buy time by deceiving the gods?

[But that’s, that’s…maybe it’s a betrayal of the Divine world.]

“It’s a good thing for everyone.”

Evan’s white lie made Fayna sigh, but unlike her thoughts, she was honest. Before she knew it, she was shaking hands with him.

“Okay, then we’ll move together in the future. Let’s do it, Fayna.”

[Oh, I can’t help it. I’m the apostle of Mother Earth…!]

It was also the power of attraction that naturally succeeded in these negotiations. The other party was amazed by Fayna’s simple transition but said nothing.

[I have to be diligent in my movements. Can you cooperate, Zero?]

“Of course, we have to be diligent. Let’s try to reroute from now. I’ll let you know how it’ll work afterward.”

The Elves were the most significant power they currently had, so they should continue to work hard on the dungeon. The same went for the groups of humans who had just begun to proliferate. They were also attacking dungeons and rescuing other humans. In other words, the population continued to grow even now. They wouldn’t be used as a power right away, but as long as Evan’s training methods and education were solidly supported, many would be able to grow into good warriors soon.

The Dwarves, unfortunately, should focus on item production for the time being. Evan had brought many ingredients from the Demon Realm…and a lot more materials were coming. Meanwhile, the Succubus was a unique power source. Of course, it was good to use magic as much as you had a lot, but since they were specialized in mental magic, it would be better to use that.

Evan had one plan, anyway. It would also be implemented from now on…it was related to the additional ingredients to be provided to the Dwarves.

“We’re probably not the only ones who’ve seen the rising Dark Magic in the north of the continent.”

“The Elves are scared, too. I think your mother is worried…”

“It’s okay. You don’t have to be afraid of direct malice.”

Anyway, the elves were driven by Evan’s control. What mattered now wasn’t them.

“Maybe soon they’ll start moving.”

“It’s about time the Dragons showed up claiming to be guardians of Middle Earth.”

“Oh, there were some of them…”

Mirole must have been surprised too much by Evan to treat the Dragon as a concern.

“We’re going west. And as for the Succubae…”

-Hep!

Maybell stared at the Succubae, who all answered back cutely. They decided to let them take care of the hierarchy, and Evan continued.

“You go south.”

Although the Devil now worked in the north, the Devil’s forces were initially distributed south of the continent. It could be said that North had become the central team, but the South, which was initially the main team, should never be ignored.

“The Demons will fight with the dragons. No…it would be appropriate to say, “Feed the dragons.”

“Is it possible?”

“You can use the mental magic of the Succubus for the Demon Tribes. Maybell, you’re in command of them, too.”

“Then what about you, Master?”

“I told you I was going west.”

Evan smiled positively, wearing a dragon’s leather cape. The boots on his feet with smoking dreary Dark Magic made him look like a real villain.

“I’m going to provoke the dragons as a representative of the Demon Tribe.”
