[About 80% of my power. However, some of it was lost in the summoning process.]
Eighty percent.
It was ambiguous.
[Of course, you can only sense 30% to 40% of my actual strength. There is an immeasurable and inevitable difference in power between us.]
A meddlesome explanation was not absent this time.
But he said that I can perceive only 30% or 40% of his actual power?
I don’t think so.
The Spirit King’s that I have sensed actually accounts for most of his power.
But I intentionally did not correct his misunderstanding.
“How do you compare to that?”
I pointed to the monster who started to go mad after seeing me and the Spirit King.
The Spirit King seemed a little unhappy and made a “chi” sound.
He has no mouth and nose, so it’s hard to discern whether he snorted or did something else. But it was clearly a gesture of annoyance.
[It’s as powerful as me. It’s a given that a monster of that level possesses such power.]
The Spirit King words, contrary to what I thought, recognize the monster’s capabilities to some extent.
I wonder if I should ask more about the monster’s power.
But that’s no longer necessary.
Because the Spirit King has begun to explain.
[That thing, even among origin monsters, is an anomaly. It has the ability to manifest of mental attacks and an illusory world.]
I know what mental attack is, but I know nothing about illusory worlds.
Thankfully, I didn’t need to ask this time either.
[Where we are now is the illusory world of that fellow. Two suns rise in the morning and three moons rise after sunset. The water that fellow is staying in would be dyed as red as blood. It also catches humans to transform them into variants for the purpose of inspecting the surroundings, as well as ferocious beasts that resemble the animals that inhabit here. Everything here belongs to the world created by that fellow. ]
I slowly understood the Spirit King’s instructions.
It’s really very strange.
In the absence of any symptoms, all kinds of strange phenomena occur at the same time.
And they are some strange and obvious phenomena that I have never noticed.
But it makes sense that at some point, we have been transferred to a place that looks roughly similar to the previous one on the surface but is actually another world.
[That monster exists only in the illusory world created by itself, so it’s very difficult to find it outside. Moreover, its ecological law is to swallow up people who wandered around the gate of the illusory world for a period of time in secrecy and use them to strengthen its force by turning them into its underlings. In this case, the lakeside should be the entrance to the illusory world.]
His explanation was so detailed and cordial that it felt like listening to the announcement ‘Pokedex of MyPoke is Updating’.
[As a monster with such amazing abilities, it spends most of its power on those tasks. So once it reveals its true form, it becomes a giant prey.]
“Really? So there shouldn’t be a problem to get rid of it.”
[Right. Of course, but because it’s so huge and durable, it will take some effort to fight, but it won’t be too dangerous. It is the most suitable enemy to pit against the challenger at this stage. Isn’t it a tutorial? ]
I nodded vigorously.
“Then Mr. Apostle can also kill it alone.”
[Right. But it would be easier to deal with if you aided me. Also, if you want to clear the objectives, you’ll have to go with me to destroy that thing in the end. You fight it in person.]
“I see.”
Because I kept nodding, the mood became strange.
Suddenly a wave came upon me and the Spirit King.
There was not much water coming in, but neither I nor the Spirit King was swept away by the waves.
[It looks like we have to move now. Let’s go.]
The Spirit King said as he strode forward.
I nodded to him for the last time.
Then instead of following the Spirit King, I stood still and said.
“Okay, please take care.”
The Spirit King turned around to my voice which was behind him, not besides him.
[… Hmm? Didn’t you hear me just now? ]
“I did.”
[I just said explicitly that you have to fight in person to destroy that monster before you can clear the stage.]
That’s bullshit.
I said to the Spirit King with a smile.
“No, you didn’t say that. That’s not what information said. The content of the message precisely stated to help God’s apostles eliminate the origin monster. There is no mention of personally fighting.”
I wondered what the silent Spirit King was thinking at the moment.
If I could know what expression would appear on its face in such a sudden situation, I could judge its character.
But I could not see any expression on blurry face.
But that’s not to say it’s impossible to predict the Spirit King’s mood.
He felt like he was stepping on shit. Obviously.
“Don’t think this place is just a simple tutorial. How many people do you think died here? Most of the people who died after being kidnapped here without getting any explanation committed suicide because of despair. The rest died of ignorance.”
[… So what?]
“For us, the message’s information is our only guide. So we will analyze every word in it. Fortunately, this information has a logical pattern and consistency. I know it very well. The message commands me to help you destroy the monster, so it also means that i can cheer you on while you fight.”
“I will be here to cheer for you with all my heart. That’s enough.”
That’s what the message said.
The Spirit King didn’t say a word. It stood still in front of me. So I added.
Pointing to the monster on the lake.
“Go ahead. Don’t beg for my help, just do your thing.”
[… Won’t you regret your attitude?]
“Of course won’t.”
Think about it humanly, you bitch.
I have nothing to regret.
Anyways, I have not been with the God of Nature for a long time.
Since the time when I ignored God’s warnings many times while the jungle was burned happily.
What’s more, God’s apostles can’t hurt me as a challenger at all.
