Alright, Let’s Turn Slaves Into Adventurers - Chapter 41
Chapter 41 The Apostle of the King of Creation
The inside of the temple was tidy.
Thanks to magic, the pillars are lit up and are much brighter than the caves outside.
It is bright enough to make the white walls feel dazzling.
“Az, it’s okay now, put it down.”
I was still a little worried, but he said it was okay and put me down.
Her fractured leg limped slightly, but Azu lent her shoulder.
The skeleton appears to have already gone inside.
The innermost door is open.
There is no sign of the temple.
There’s probably no one besides the skeleton and Azu’s group.
I entered the inner room belatedly.
There was an altar there. A skeleton was waiting inside.
The first thing that caught Arzu’s eyes was a girl lying on the altar.
She looks a little older than Azu, the girl is wearing a combat uniform.
But the area around her chest doesn’t move at all.
It didn’t take long for the girl to notice that she wasn’t breathing.
“Does it bother you?”
“… Yes.”
“First, listen to what you say. How is the Ash King doing now? If you trick me, I will cut your throat.”
The skeleton finished his speech and sat down in his chair.
Azusa and Kazusa sat face to face.
Although the girl cares, the skeleton holds her lifeline and must be followed.
Azu drank the remaining water from her bucket to quench her thirst.
“Ah, humans need water. It’s been so long I forgot.”
The skeleton bent the index finger bone and the bucket was filled with water.
Azu drank some more and handed the water bottle to Kazusa.
Kazusa took a deep breath as she drank the water, clearing her words.
You have to arouse the skeleton’s interest.
Arzu talked about what happened in the catacombs step by step.
She debated whether or not to talk about Elza, but it was too difficult to say without it.
“Elza, the priest of the Kingdom of Creation… ?”
The skeleton reacted slightly to Elza’s name. But more than that, it seemed to be responding to the words that he was a priest of the Genesis Kingdom.
Upon hearing of the resurrection of the apostle of the sun god and the attack of the king of ashes, the skeleton became extremely angry and murderous.
Az managed to keep up with her words with her trembling voice.
With Kazusa holding her hand tightly, she could barely speak.
At the peak of the tremendous battle between the Apostle of the Sun God and the Ash King, it was reported that the Ash King had won by lending his sword to Azu.
The skeleton roared with laughter as he slapped his leg with his hand.
His cranial jaws moved and rattled.
“Oh, the king of ashes did it. How long have you waited According to what you said, he changed his appearance and waited. You don’t stoop like I did!”
The skeleton seemed to be in a good mood.
It seems that the King of Ashes is happy that he defeated the apostle of the sun god.
“You must have used that sword. That’s great It’s a simple yet powerful sword. You may not be able to show your true worth because you are immature.”
The skeleton looked at Ars’s sword, Bongsword Grungaus and said.
Azu was heartbroken, but inside, he sighed.
It was useless to say, and it was true. Compared to the Ash King, Az was too weak.
There is something more worrying than that.
“By the way, who are you?”
“Hmm, so you haven’t introduced yourself yet. Where did you say that?”
The skeleton cleared his laugh and rubbed his chin with his right hand.
The sound of bones colliding with each other was strangely humorous.

“I… I’ve forgotten his name now, but he wasn’t originally from this continent. A long time ago, I cut down the owner of my hometown after a quarrel, and came to this continent as if I was running away.”
“Are there other continents?”
“What, don’t you know? Do some study. And listen silently.”
“… Yes.”
Arzu shut her mouth.
“I was young and full of confidence. The reason we quarreled was because I was too strong, and I had no fear of a new place.”
The skeleton looked up at the sky.
“That’s why I became famous right away. I hunted monsters, thieves, and those who attacked me with malice. Then I met the King of Ashes. Of course, the king in his lifetime.”
The skeleton drew his sword.
The blade wasn’t bad at all, and it was overflowing with terrifying yogi.
“He was strong. He tasted defeat for the first time. And he wanted to follow him. You know that the King of Ashes was the Kingdom of Creation, right?”
When asked to agree, Arzu nodded her head.
“It was the time when the Church of the Creation and the Church of the Sun God fought the most fiercely on the continent. The Ash King, who saw through the wickedness of the Sun God, fought and led the country in the forefront.”
The skeleton stood up and approached the girl lying face down.
“The King of Ashes was proud of being the guardian of the Kingdom of Creation. I just followed the king, I had no religion. The guy was infatuated. This girl proves that.”
A girl lying still without breathing.
She is as beautiful as an elaborate doll without a single scar.
“Do you know who this girl is?”
“No….”
“If you want to stand on the side of the Genesis Kingdom, remember this. This girl is the 4th apostle of the King of Creation. We remained in the world and fought together until the end, and we defeated the apostle of the sun god who was destroyed by the king of ashes in exchange for our lives.”
Apostle of God. A being endowed with authority by God and a transcendental being who exists between humans and gods.
Az is not a member of the Genesis King’s religion, but she said that she chose not to.
“When I came to this continent, the King of Genesis was already in a long sleep, and this girl was the only symbol of that. As a result of losing it, the Kingdom of Genesis disappeared from this continent without being able to resist the Sun God Church. During that time, the Ash King and I were mortally wounded while fighting another apostle of the sun god.”
The skeleton pointed up.
“That’s right here. It seems that the elements of wind and mana gathered together to form a labyrinth… The Ash King left the body of this girl with me and died. I barely managed to move the girl to this temple and ran out of strength.
After a long time passed, I woke up like this. It must have been turned into an undead due to constant exposure to strong magic power and wind elements.”
“Yes… That’s right.”
“I was contemplating whether to go out or not. There is no point in fighting now, without the King of Ashes and the Apostle of the King of Creation who fought alongside him. But the Ash King was different. What a strong will so not strong Predicting that an apostle of the Sun King would be resurrected as an undead, waiting for a long time until he became a ghost and then being destroyed.”
The skeleton stopped talking.
Perhaps you are reminiscing about the past.
Arzu waited quietly so as not to interfere.
