The Devil Who Grants Wishes - Chapter 195



195 – Training (3)

“The reason why I now realize the danger of this demonic energy sphere is simple. This demonic energy sphere is surprisingly similar to the artificial spirit body I created. “

Elias looks at the magic sphere with the expression of a researcher, and the magic sphere seems to dislike Elias’ gaze so much that it trembles from side to side, as if warning him not to look.

“Resembling an artificial spirit means… This demonic sphere supports me as a system?”

“No, the Magi Sphere appears to be a being subordinate to the world’s system. I don’t even know what it controls. But… Its structure is surprisingly similar to an artificial divine body.”

The expression on Elias’s face as she said that was a conflict between her desire to investigate this demonic sphere and her sense of responsibility to quickly eliminate this dangerous thing.

I can’t tell if he’s smiling or frowning, and if anyone else sees Elias’s expression, he’ll take a deep breath and get nervous.

“The fact that the structure is similar to that of an artificial body means that it can do the same things that a body does, right?”

“Yes, you will be able to completely place something in the world under your control. However, it is very dangerous because you do not know exactly what it is that you are controlling. And since it is only a pseudo-artificial god, it is not a real god. “Unlike the Divine Wisdom, which cannot be removed no matter what, it seems like it can be removed.”

“Hmm… If I leave it alone, it looks like something quite annoying will happen.”

Wooow~

The more I look at the trembling magic sphere making a wasp-like sound, the more I get lost in thought.

…The more I think about it, the more I think Elias is right?

This demonic energy sphere was accidentally created while I was in the process of eliminating the demonic energy that had spread throughout the forest, and that accidentally created sphere created the solution to the natural release of demonic energy that I so desperately wanted.

It’s so contrived. In the lottery, you still have to use numbers to win, but isn’t this like I didn’t do anything and suddenly, against extremely slim odds, I ended up winning first place?

“Elias, do you think we should remove this demon sphere right now?”

“Yes, Faust, of course you know that a side effect does not mean a bad effect, but an unintended effect, right? No matter how good the effect is, there is nothing more unpredictable than an unintended effect. “

What Elias said is correct. Are you just using something you don’t know how it works?

It is a completely different problem than using a car that has been verified by world-renowned scholars and being used by ordinary people who know nothing about the structure of cars. This is the same as the people who built the car don’t know how the car works.

How on earth would you use such an item since it is so dangerous? The car may suddenly accelerate, the brakes may not work, or the engine may burst and something terrible happens?

“…But I don’t think we should do that now.”

“Yes?”

“This demon energy sphere, as well as the demon energy that I have naturally released so far, has also consumed all the demon energy that remained in the world due to the aftermath of the fight. If I made a mistake in removing it–“

“–Something terrible is going to happen.”

Elias, who interrupted me, speaks for me next.

This demonic sphere… Is literally a floating nuclear silo. There is no doubt that something so terrible will happen that it cannot even be compared to what happened when the magic tower’s mana concentration went out of control.

Then, if you go alone to a subspace where no one is around and then eliminate them there… No, that would be difficult too. I don’t know what will happen to him because he has consumed not only my demon energy, but all kinds of demon energy. I may try to resist, but it may be too much for me to stop in my weakened state.

Wooow~

“…”

In the meantime, the magic sphere buzzes again and it feels like it wants to say something. Just a moment ago, it was a very irritating sound, like the sound of a wasp’s wings flapping, but now it is a noise that seems calming, like white noise.

Does this mean not to worry…?

No matter how much I tell you not to worry, I can’t help but worry because it’s dangerous… Tsk, let’s make a contingency plan in case something becomes dangerous.

Keyiing!

“Faust, this is…”

“First of all, I installed a shield to protect against the explosion and a magic that banishes it to subspace if something happens. It would be best to do this as it would be difficult to remove it right now.”

When I surrounded the magic sphere with dozens of layers of defense, the magic sphere became quiet as if nothing had happened from the beginning. It was to the point where I thought I was hallucinating because I was shaking just a moment ago.

…Why do these troublesome things keep happening? I’m going to turn away.

**********

“Haaap!!”

After that, we focused on training again in preparation for the decisive battle that would take place two years later.

Lucia provides support with magic from afar, Iris wields a sword, Celestine assists everyone through blessings, Lena protects everyone with her bow, and Irene uses her unique wide vision to guide the warrior party forward. By showing the way and training the warrior party’s unique cooperative fighting style, which acts as a proxy for Iris’s hand-to-hand combat.

However, the training that takes place from now on is very different from before.

First, everyone’s skills increase.

In the past, I was able to overwhelm everyone even if I fought hurriedly, but the warriors, that is, everyone who has been given the power to become infinitely stronger by the system, have lived up to their name and are becoming incredibly stronger as the days go by. .

I can’t really feel that from the other four people who don’t engage in hand-to-hand combat with me, but when I see Iris crossing swords with me, I feel very keenly the fact that everyone is getting stronger. In the past, she wouldn’t have even been able to cross swords with me, but now Iris is taking it as a matter of course.

It’s not just that.

When sword and sword clash, Iris blocks and pushes away my sword, as if she is sliding with her sword, and at the same time slides the blade and rushes into my arms. Not only has she become stronger, but her fighting sense has also improved considerably.

Peooeok!!

“Ugh…!”

Keyiing!!

Secondly, cooperation increases.

Until now, the hero party had a strong tendency to rely solely on their own strength. In other words, no matter what enemy they encountered, each individual hero party was much stronger, so they did not feel any reason to cooperate. We’ve been fighting in a way where each individual goes on a rampage and the enemy dies.

However, as a strong enemy appeared in the country, and as they continued to fight as a group against that strong enemy, the warrior party’s cooperation naturally increased.

Like this, when Iris was thrown far away by my attack, Lucia, Celestine, and Irene, despite not saying anything to each other, helped Iris and took a stance to respond to my follow-up attack.

My attack, which I tried to finish off by charging towards Iris who had fallen far away, failed.

Pajijik!!

“It’s Medusa!!”

“Hoooh…”

Lastly, the mastery of the being called Faust increases.

Up until now, I have shown all my attacks without hiding anything, and made the hero party get used to the attacks that I have shown without hiding anything.

If you’re talking about a game, you have to try infinitely until you beat the boss called Faust, and look at all kinds of patterns in the process of trying, so as each day passed, my attacks were not working for the warrior party.

For example, like this Medusa just now.

Perhaps because they were attacked by Medusa twice in a row before, the hero party does not look back even if Medusa is over once. It got to the point where I had to use the summoned demon to check whether Medusa was finished or not.

When the first demon summoned by Lucia turns to stone, the second demon turns to stone, and the third demon is fine, Lucia screams to those around her to let everyone know that Medusa is over.

Of course, it is not only Medusa who has become accustomed to attacks.

Perhaps I received advice from Aigokeros, I have taken countermeasures against all the powers that demons can use, and I am also quite familiar with the magic and combat techniques I mainly use. Perhaps, as time passes and everyone’s skill level increases, they will be able to deal with it perfectly, rather than at a familiar level.

“Everyone, focus!! We always fight to defeat Master Faust!!”

“I know even if you don’t say it!!”

Even though my attack was destroyed, I am not happy about it.

The warrior party only looks at my situation and fights to achieve it.

‘…Great.’

The other me is exactly the same as me.

The only thing that matters is whether or not you have experienced the despair that comes from frustrated wishes and demonization.

The combat method will no doubt be the same, so the more the hero party becomes familiar with me, the more easily they will be able to defeat me.

Things went so smoothly that I expected it to make me feel a little wary.
