chapter 51
51. Emperor (2)
What kind of comfort should we give to a saint who became unemployed in just a few minutes?
Yuma thought for a moment.
“Look for another job.”
The blonde saint, Ermel, opened her eyes wide.
“…yes?”
The divine power that was used by serving Increnu. There was no way it could be reused by changing the gods it served.
I wonder how many times in history the god they worshiped died.
“Once a saint is connected to God, is it easy for her to connect to other gods?”
At Yuma’s words, Ermel trembled and shook his head.
“Well, well, I’ve never heard of such a case…! Hi!”
Tears welled up in Ermel’s eyes.
It was a face-to-face encounter with the person who killed the god whom he had been praising with prostration just a moment ago.
It’s embarrassing. I couldn’t help but be afraid.
“Oh, there’s no need to experiment for nothing.”
Yuma continued speaking while making direct eye contact with Ermel.
“I don’t think I will be able to trust any of the gods of this world for the time being.”
Even if a God who talked about himself as a ‘good God’ appeared before my eyes, I didn’t think I could believe it.
Yuma lowered his body and made eye contact with the sitting saint, Ermel.
[Lv.29] Ermel
Race: Human
Tendency: Good
Class: (Former) Saint, Wizard
Level: 2 circles
Special conditions:
Saint Class Era Lv.86
As an oracle saint who could communicate directly with God, she was a saint who was able to use the sacred power of [Mercy of Agony Increnu], the god she served. For some reason, she died as a god and lost all of her divine powers.
Yuma, the person who created that long singular situation, judged that Ermel was not lying, considering the good tendency established in his tendency.
Still, the doubts were not completely resolved.
Because I was filled with doubts about the gods of this world.
“The fact that Increnu was that kind of god…you didn’t know, right?”
Ermel’s face was shaking as he barely raised his head.
“I didn’t know! I didn’t know! Heep…! Heep!”
Ermel nodded urgently.
‘Die. Die. I’m dying… !’
It was true.
I never dreamed that Increnu was an evil god.
I didn’t even suspect that. Because he always gave oracles in kind words.
Coo coo coo coo coo!
Ermel felt a deep murderous energy in Yuma’s blue eyes that was not there.
The person who just killed God is asking, “Did you know about God’s evil?” As a saint, she could not help but feel the same sensation as facing her own death… !
Yuma placed his hand on Ermel’s shoulder, not even knowing how he was feeling about Ermel right now.
chin-
‘Heeeeeeeek!!! I’m dying – I’m dying!!’
Yuma’s mouth slowly opened again.
“Before you became a saint, did you ever feel talented in other areas?”
“M-magic…I had some talent!”
“It is difficult to have even a little talent in magic. You know very well. Turn into a wizard, you are unemployed. The imperial family will support you. From the 4th circle, you can become a member of the imperial wizard, right?”
Brigitte nodded at Yuma’s words.
“Yes, you can belong to the Imperial Wizard.”
Yuma looked at Ermel again.
“Until then, keep working hard.”
Yuma, who had ordered a change of occupation, stood up.
“egg plant.”
Yuma and his party took the teleport portal and moved to the princess’s palace.
The former saint, who was left alone, sat quietly and muttered.
“Can I become a wizard? Hmph! Hmm….”
Ermel, who suddenly lost his job, felt resentful of the world.

Yuma turned around and looked at the people who were only looking at him.
“Brigitte, can you ascend the throne right away?”
He slowly shook his head at Yuma’s words.
“We will have to hold a noble meeting and make an announcement in advance, so it will take about two weeks until the coronation ceremony.”
“Right.”
Yuma slowly walked towards the First Princess Palace.
“Can I use the same place as last time?”
Brigitte’s voice was heard responding to Yuma’s words.
“Okay, I’ve finished cleaning.”
Yuma looked at Clone, Bell, and Hestia.
“Let everyone rest comfortably today, you must be tired.”
The person in the group who was more tired than anyone else said that. I couldn’t nod my head comfortably.
Yuma walked in gracefully.
Open the door of the room. I fell down on the bed.
dump-
I felt my entire body losing strength.
Ultimately, the central point of parrying is concentration. He took that concentration too far.
It had to be that way.
‘Eight evil spirits.’
Now all that remains are the seven evil spirits.
And a sense of doubt about the <system>.
There were a lot of questions running through my head, but they didn’t seem like things I could think of right now.
It was a matter of taking a nap and thinking with a clear mind.
Yuma fell asleep.
***
Tiring!
Tiring!
Tiring!
“…….”
When Yuma opened his eyes, he had to face numerous notification windows.
There are so many notification windows that it’s almost mind-boggling.
‘I guess I don’t have the energy to face other people today.’
I also had to check the items inside the sacred bag that Incrinyu had.
day.
I needed time to organize my thoughts during the day.
Yuma opened the door first.
And then he slowly opened his mouth.
“Chamberlain.”
A middle-aged man in a black suit who was standing upright at the end of the hallway quickly approached.
It was Roian, the chamberlain of the 1st princess’s palace.
The chamberlain bowed politely.
“Yes, Yuma. Do you have any business?”
“I want to rest in my room today, so don’t let anyone in. You just have to bring me a meal once at noon.”
Royan bowed his head again.
“I understand. Is there any other reason?”
Yuma could easily guess what those words meant. I’m guessing you’re asking if there’s anything wrong with your health.
Yuma slowly shook his head.
“I’m just a little tired.”
The chamberlain bent his waist at a right angle again.
“I understand. Yuma.”
Clap-
Yuma went back into the room.
After sitting down in the chair, I faced the notification windows that were still floating.
[The evil god, <Increign of Suffering Mercy> has been defeated.]
[I have achieved an achievement that far exceeds my capabilities.]
[Rewards will be granted!]
New!
[Item – ‘Golden Rule Sprout’!]
[Growth potential does not exist.]
[Status increases as a reward for achievements achieved.]
[Name: Yuma
Lv.80
Tendency: Good Personality Trait: Cool-headed
Strength: 90 Stamina: 105 Defense: 90 Agility: 110 Growth Potential: 0
Status: Ordinary person – You can escape from being an ordinary person by upgrading your physical status to transcendent level.]
This time, the level rose by 40.
Accordingly, all stats increased by 40.
The level, which had been gradually increasing by 20, has now increased significantly, and my heart is filled with excitement.
Yuma realized once again that the karma of Godslayer was quite a great karma after seeing this level increase.
Yuma’s level. The level markings of the people seen through Yuma’s search were bound to have different nuances.
This is because Yuma was trapped in the framework of a criminal from the beginning.
A swordsman who emits sword energy and a wizard who uses magic. A state where nothing can happen.
‘With my current stats, I think I can compete with the beginning Sword Masters in terms of physical strength.’
If that guy uses sword energy, you’ll eventually have to use parrying. It seemed possible to at least arm-wrestle.
Through training, I raise my Auror level. Swordsmen and wizards who raise their circles. There was a fundamental difference between Yuma’s ‘level’, which raises numerical stats as a reward based on their level and achievements.
In the first place, the only person who could see the levels that existed in this world was Yuma, who had the <Exploration Eye>.
‘Stacking up mana hearts. If you want to train your sword skills, you have no choice but to eat a dragon heart and escape from being a criminal.’
In order to remove the limitations placed on the body, the body had to be torn apart and repaired. To achieve that, you had to eat a dragon heart.
And with the feeling of ‘I know what you’re thinking,’ the system granted <Golden Rule Sprout>, one of the auxiliary items essential for taking <Dragon Heart>, as an achievement reward.
Yuma gazed at the golden sprout, the Golden Rule Sprout, falling slowly in the air.
The golden rule sprout that landed on Yuma’s right hand shed light.
‘Now the remaining essential item is the blood of the Great Demon King… .’
The Demon Army is said to attack in 5 months.
At that time, I felt like I could figure out what to do about the Great Demon King.
‘by the way.’
system.
There may really be gods belonging to the ‘good’ realm behind this guy.
This is because the Sprout of the Golden Rule was an item found in the Gods of Good or the World Tree in the game <Loop Blood>.
‘As soon as Increnu was defeated, he excitedly told me about the Eight Evil Gods.’
This guy desperately wants to get rid of all evil spirits.
After finishing organizing the rewards, Yuma decided to check the items dropped by the ‘Increase’ he killed.
First of all, the first thing to check is [Shin Nang (神囊)].
Yuma took out a kidney sac, which could be called Increnu’s subspace pouch, from the subspace pouch. She then opened her mouth wide and shook her fur on the floor.
Several items were scattered on the floor.
Yuma picked up the bright red fruit that stood out the most.
[The fruit of poison and imperishability]
It creates a body that is immune to any poison.
Caution: When taking it, it goes through a process of converting the blood into non-poisonous blood. [I will occasionally bleed blood for about a month.]
oh.
Yuma couldn’t help but let out a low exclamation.
By the standards of the game <Loop Blood>, it was an SSS+ level item.
It was obvious that it would be valuable here too.
There’s no way a guy named God would get poisoned, so he probably kept it as a souvenir.
Without hesitation, Yuma put the [Fruit of Invulnerability] that he was holding in his hand into his mouth.
Right!
Then I chewed it and swallowed it.
Now it was time to look at the next item.
[Miracle Aegis
Protective artifact.
It is a bracelet-shaped artifact that is attached to the arm. When the wearer encounters an attack that he cannot avoid, it activates automatically. It contains ‘Athena’s protection’.
Caution: There is a limit to the number of uses. When used ‘5 times’, its function as a protective artifact is lost.]
Athena’s protection.
The fact that a god’s name is included means that there is a high probability that the god’s divine power itself is granted.
‘When faced with an attack that is impossible to parry, this will save one’s life.’
In most cases, you shouldn’t create such a situation.
Yuma put the bracelet on without hesitation.
Yuma looked through the remaining four items and then carefully put them back.
This is because the rest did not have as much impact or usefulness as the above two items.
There is only one thing left now.
The sword of wailing and annihilation, [Balmung].
Yuma held Balmung, whose silver blade shined brilliantly, with his right hand.
