"That was terrible, that was terrible, I almost got chopped up..."
The human woman spoke with lingering fear, patting her chest. The enormous heart pounded, making Vereesa stare in disbelief. She said, "Really, there are actually guys out there who want to save the world."
Vereesa wasn't surprised by this. She stroked her long hair, which had been cut off and was now rapidly repairing itself, and said, "It's normal. Perhaps not many people want to save the world, but there are so many exceptions... there are always quite a few who don't want to see the world destroyed."
"But they want to break the rules..."
As the human woman spoke, she recalled Vereesa Ilúvatar's spells from before, and then, with a wicked grin, she said, "However, yours has both [poison] and [death], they certainly won't feel good when they get back."
"Yes, and I went easy on them... and they did too."
Vereesa responded, seemingly unconcerned as she called the devastating battle "showing mercy," saying, "After all, they haven't broken the rules yet... Only formal violations would cause everyone to stop them."
"But if the other side breaks the rules, then it means that Ira has already been killed..."
That's exactly right.
"..."
During the conversation, the two remained silent, sensing that things were starting to get complicated... Many people considered Ira to be the culprit who would destroy the world in the future, after all, the stone tablet looked real no matter how you looked at it.
The text recorded above is indeed the work of a deity, and the time of Ira's birth and the changes he brought to the world coincide perfectly with the content of the prophecy.
"However, later on, more people will help and stop those who want to disrupt the show. After all, most people are like us and hope to see the drama until the end of the world."
Vereesa Ilúvatar made this assessment, smiling as she looked at the giant squid in the distance, and said, "However, it might escalate into the first-ever large-scale battle between non-human entities... We might not be able to focus on protecting Ira."
Hearing Vereesa's words and seeing her expression, the human woman seemed to have guessed something. She narrowed her eyes at Vereesa and said, "So, what are you planning to do?"
"If the other side wants to interfere with the prime material plane, so can we."
Vereesa Ilúvatar said this, looking up as she said, “My calculations have been ongoing since those three appeared, and we’ve kept them hidden from all outsiders.”
Yes, everything was within Vereesa's calculations. From the moment the three who wanted to kill Ira were stopped by the two, she had thought of this moment... She needed to give Ira something to save her life.
While Ira himself can manifest [Sky Pillar - Tekkal] to travel through the void, what if that area is covered by [Dimensional Anchor] which can prevent teleportation? What if the attack comes too fast for him to react?
It's somewhat interesting if the hero dies at the hands of a dragon, but it's infuriating if viewers who dislike the protagonist pay money to change the ending to death.
"This isn't a good idea..."
The human woman looked somewhat hesitant.
"As long as we're not caught red-handed, no one will know it was us."
"Ah... okay then~"
——————————
Finding a treasure chest while fishing is unheard of, but... even if you simply calculate the value of a treasure chest made of gold, it's definitely not low.
Although it wasn't considered particularly high in the eyes of most people, after all, they weren't ordinary citizens.
"You have to be careful when opening treasure chests."
As Ira said this, it reminded everyone of how carefully Ira opened the treasure chest with the little demon's hand before... Wasn't she being a little too cautious?
Seeing that everyone seemed unconcerned, Ira shook her head and revealed a secret they didn't know: "Actually, Satan's father was eaten by a mimic right in front of me."
"Huh!?"
Seeing Satan Ye's shocked expression, and the others who also showed similar expressions, Ira nodded seriously... Perhaps in their eyes, someone like Faviginho wouldn't be easily eaten?
"That happened during an adventure... At that time, I had just joined the battle and didn't know that Favignon was the Demon King. We didn't know each other, but we happened to meet in a dungeon and teamed up together."
As Ira spoke, he recalled what had happened back then, saying, "We came across a treasure chest, and he was so excited that he kicked it open, only to have the mimic bite his head."
As she said this, Ira gestured with her hand over her head and said, "Although the mimic was burned directly by him, his head was covered in saliva and slime, which looked super disgusting. He vomited for a long time."
Hehehe~
Satan Ye couldn't help but laugh at the thought of that scene, commenting, "No wonder he never mentioned it to us... So, how do we open the treasure chest?"
Well, if you really want to be careful, then there's no way to avoid it completely... After all, there might be a piccolo or something sealed inside the treasure chest.
"Being further away will be much safer... Of course, it's definitely safest to let someone else drive it... Third Wing Pillar - Lich - Wingspan! Mage Hand!"
As Ira said this, she manifested the lich's wings through Vera's mana, and at the same time used magic to suddenly open the treasure chest from a great distance. Unexpectedly... there was no water inside the treasure chest.
Either the treasure chest is from a very recent era, or it's because of the special plants around the seal of the treasure chest... Ira thinks it's the latter. And in the era of using primitive treasure chests, only elves would know how to utilize the properties of plants, right?
Is it a treasure chest from the Silver Moon Tree Garden?
Thinking this, Ira and the other leaders went over and saw a bright green leaf... It was really rare for a leaf that was so old to still be so green.
It looks like some kind of super potion.
"They're tree leaves, and they're translucent, like jewels, so beautiful."
Satan Leaf sighed, and Ira agreed. It was a beautiful leaf, slightly translucent like jade. However... in the next instant, as it was exposed to the air, the leaf quickly turned yellow, withered, and disappeared.
"Huh?!"
Satan Ye, not understanding what was going on, let out a surprised sound.
"It seems it's from a very long time ago?"
As Shirina said this, she also seemed a little regretful. She stroked Satan's head, just like Ira had done before, and said, "Things that have been sealed away for a long time have their time frozen, but once they come into contact with air, all the time they owe will be returned at the same time."
"How amazing!"
"Um."
...
Satan's head feels so nice to touch... No, no, no, Sirina, you are the most loyal maid, how can you have such thoughts...
Mmm, so smooth.
