Here’s the extra chapter
Since a few days ago, a fever had been spreading around the city of Rhodan.
I returned to the Dark Temple, and starting thinking for a bit.
I thought of a couple of countermeasures for this.
I thought up one good method.
The problem is that I need a place where I can realize it.
"Hey, underneath Rhodan's center, it's not like there's a secret facility or anything right?"
While thinking there was no way, I asked Adrigori who was by my side.
"Yeah."
"I knew it."
"There is one."
"Fa!?"
I was surprised, and looked at Adrigori twice.
"Come to think of it, I never told you. Julius-sama will be back soon, so I'll tell you then."
After the old man and Jeko returned, the 4 of us flew to Rhodan again.
In a certain single house southeast of the center.
"What are you saying about this normal house?"
When I tilted my head, the old man smiled oddly.
"Well, you'll understand if you see it."
Saying that he unlocked the house, and we went in.
He proceeded to the back, and guided us to that room.
When he pressed a hidden switch on the wall, a portion of the wall moved sideways.
From there I could see stairway to the underground.
"To make something like this……"
While raising a voice of admiration, I descended to the underground.
When we went down about 100 meters, the staircase ended.
Beyond that was a complicated maze-like passage.
There were also various rooms of various sizes.
"To make such a huge facility……isn't this already a labyrinth?"
"They didn't plan on making anything this big, but the construction manager was too enthusiastic."
The old man smiled bitterly.
"By construction manager you mean……"
"It was the construction loving 11th Corps Head, Istim-dono."
Jeko said that without delay, but it's not like Istim particularly liked construction.
It's just that I always leave the construction to him.
He might have found it to be fun in the process though.
In the back was a huge hall.
It was built like a church, and there were huge statues.
They were covered with sheets, so I don't what they're statues of though.
"Welcome."
Istim, who was supervising the construction site noticed us and came over here.
"We just need to finish making the interior now."
"Y,yeah……before I knew it, you already began working on something different."
"Yeah, we finished restoring the Dark Temple's garden a while ago. After that Julius-sama ordered the construction of this underground temple."
"What are planning on doing here?"
I look at the old man.
"I thought we'd make a new religion, and do some missionary work."
"Hey, you're not going to call it the Evil God Faith and spread it around, right?"
"No way. That's definitely a violation of the rules, so we just need to twist it a bit."
The old man was laughing, so it must be something like him playing around.
I decided not to mind it.
"Putting that aside, this is just right underneath the center of Rhodan."
"Yeah, this is the street we talked about before."
Adrigori spoke seriously.
"Well then, will you let us do this here?"
"What——"
As soon as Adrigori spoke to me, I released my jaki.
Two jet black wings appeared too.
The Corps Heads and the subordinates who were working on the interior ran away from me at once.
"Are you going to destroy the underground temple we just made!?"
Isitim rose a bitter screaming voice.
"No. This is something that you guys have no influence on, so just shut up."
At this distance, the humans above ground won't notice my jaki.
On this underground facility, every kind of endowment magic(enchants) seem to have been done.
Strength up, soundproofing, aura isolation, and so on.
Multiple magic formations activate.
A countless number of magic formations overlap, and one 3D image is formed.
It was a skull that released black miasma.
"Evil Fever."
When my magic was completed, I placed the skull on the altar in the church.
Well, since it's just a 3D image, if you touch it you'll just pass through it though.
The subordinates were wary, and kept their distance.
"Is that going to cause a large explosion?"
"It won't so calm down."
The subordinates timidly came over here.
"What exactly is this……?"
Jeko tilted his head.
"Tentatively, this should affect you guys as well. You can easily resist it though."
"Ashtal-sama, your 3D magic formations are outside of our understanding. Even if we see that, we don't know what effect it has."
Adrigori replied.
"The area is the kingdom's capital, Rhodan. The effect is to make you catch a cold. More specifically, you'll get a fever. Well, humans won't be able to resist it so easily."
When you're inside the range of Evil Fever, the disease will gradually worsen.
On the first day, it's just to the extent of getting a slight fever.
By the second day the fever will get worse, and you'll feel sluggish.
By third day, you'll be down with the fever. If you push yourself, you can work, but it's at the level where you should take rest from work.
By the fourth day, the fever makes it difficult to eat.
By the fifth day, you won't be able to get up.
By the sixth day, you'll be in a coma.
By the seventh day, you deteriorate even more, and it wouldn't be strange for humans to die.
After that, the symptoms gradually progress even more.
It's a magic that exerts such effects.
"I see, so you're going to kill all the people of Rhodan like this."
Jeko seemed to be having fun.
However, immediately after he showed a serious expression.
"Wouldn't it be fine to let the students of Cantabridge Academy off? No, it's not like I'm worrying about them though."
You're worrying about them a lot aren't you?
"I'm not going to kill everyone, so calm down. This time I'll stop it when the effects reach level 5."
When I said that, Jeko felt relieved.
Well, if they stay in that feverish condition for an extended period of time, their physical strength will fall and they might die though.
Before that, I'll heal them.
"What are you going to do by making them sick?"
"Cure them."
"Well, yeah you'd heal them."
Although it won't help to explain it to Jeko, there are others here so I'll explain it.
Currently in Rhodan, the 3 major religions are competing to collect followers.
The one in the lead is the Angas Faith.
They promised to provide medical service at [really 0 pounds], and won a large amount of followers.
However, there is one weak point here.
In the first place, service is finite.
Services that receive recovery magic are especially expensive.
As for why they're so expensive, it's because there aren't enough people.
Even though all priests specialize in using recovery magic, they each have their own activities.
They also need to train themselves.
Since they specialize in healing, they're weak.
The Maou appeared? I don't know, but I'm in trouble.
Also, it's not possible to store basic recovery magic.
If you're just selling it normally, then even if they sell better than anticipated, you have inventories and reserves.
With treatment, you can't do that.
When customers suddenly rush in, they'd be brought to their needs.
The Angas Faith, which has collected a large amount of followers won't be able to cope with this problem.
"I see. There were weak points in their plan. As expected of you, to see through them in a moment."
Adrigori praised me.
"Right now there are many people who decide their faith based on the price of their services. If this fever spreads around, they'll gather at places where there are many people who can heal it."
"The Bridget Faith has the highest capacity by far, right?"
"Other than that being their head office, Tiraiza and Yufilia are cooperating too. The Supreme Priest Azulyla is supposed to be an excellent healer too."
"Fumu, how should we put the rest into order?"
The old man opened his mouth.
"If I release that magic, everything will end."
"No, if possible I'd like to use that for our activities."
"Fumu?"
It seems like they're actively working, making underground temples and such.
I can't check each of their activities one by one, so I decided to let them be.
