I Became the Burden of a Conscienceless Party

114 – Twelve Heavens (9)

Twelve Heavens (9)

Esmeralda began to worry about the extent of the First’s power, but unfortunately, those thoughts did not last long.

“Then let’s begin!”

“Huh?!”

Because Shiva started swinging his fist at her.

Kwaaang!

A fist that makes a sound even though it doesn’t hit anything.

It’s like that just by swinging the air, so if it hits you, there’s no telling what will happen.

Esmeralda saw Shiva’s fist flash before her eyes for a moment, and then she ended up in hell.

No, it didn’t go to hell.

It just seemed like hell as the flashbacks continued to flash through my recent memories.

Esmeralda almost lost her will to live for a moment, but she was able to persevere with her indomitable will.

“Hmm? Is this a bit too much?”

“… … A lot.”

“What a weakling. How can someone like this be considered a hero… … Tsk! But can you at least give him some insight?”

A surprise attack.

If Esmeralda hadn’t noticed Shiva’s attack, her head would have been blown off.

In that sense, it was clear that Shiva was being quite lenient.

At least Esmeralda could see the blow.

“Hey, for a dragon, he looks like he has quite a strong body?”

“Hmm? That’s right! However, I can use magic pretty well. However, since my specialty, magic, is a bit unusual, I found another way to use it.”

“Other uses… … ?”

Shiva flexed her muscles as if she liked Esmeralda’s reaction.

Phew!

Then two more arms grew behind his back.

Just by looking at the scenery, Esmeralda seemed to know what kind of use Shiva had been talking about.

“I am the most confident in polymorphism among the elder dragons!”

“I see… … I think I finally understand why the Dean chose you as his opponent.”

Esmeralda using swordsmanship and Shiva stretching her arms.

In a way, aren’t their fighting styles really similar?

Esmeralda once again strengthened her resolve and grabbed the Holy Sword.

***

Rapha was watching Shiva and Esmeralda’s training from afar, making all sorts of noises.

“I told you to teach me some swordsmanship, so why is it fighting?”

Shiva was a warrior who specialized in close combat among the Elder Dragons.

Specialization means anything that can be done in close combat.

Yes, Shiva can also use swordsmanship at a high level.

Esmeralda’s basic swordsmanship skills could be said to have developed slowly because she had the convenient means of swordsmanship.

Even just looking at the fact that he is not able to properly strengthen the holy sword by infusing it with mana right now, it seems like that.

Esmeralda also uses mana to surround her sword, but to that extent, it only increases its destructive power.

It was never at a level that could be called a health check.

“… … Well, it seems like you’re satisfied, so it doesn’t matter?”

La Pa, who was debating whether to point this out or leave it alone, decided to just stay still as Esmeralda brightened up for some reason.

If she thinks she’s getting something out of it, then she doesn’t need to meddle.

Since a warrior is talented in general matters anyway, it doesn’t matter if he goes back a little.

“The problem is… … this way?”

Rapha looked at Tina, who had not yet woken up.

Of course there was a way. It was a bit annoying, but she had a way to improve Tina’s condition.

“Are you going to stay like that?”

“You’re saying the obvious. More than half of my life has been pretty rough thanks to you.”

“I should have just given up then.”

Jim lived longer before he became a god than when he was a god. If we compare it to the present, 95% of it was a series of hardships.

And the reason he had to repeat such hardships was because of the ordeal of Mara Papyas.

“Honestly, when I saw you, you were just crazy. You kept begging for death, but you never died, and instead, you changed the laws of the world.”

Jim’s brother was destined to be that way from the beginning.

A being born to become a god.

Rapha didn’t touch or get involved with people like that, but he couldn’t stand to see a mere ordinary person go down that path.

In that sense, Jim was truly a terrible person.

A person who overcame such severe hardships and eventually earned a position that he deserved.

And thanks to those two people… … .

“That’s not something I want to hear from the person who created the demon world.”

“Yeah, it would be great if you could create abilities like divine powers.”

These two people changed the laws of the world.

Rapha is a being who has lived for a long time. She too can be said to be a being born to become a god.

However, she was able to remain on earth because she chose to rule the world rather than become a god.

And that twist of fate brought some of Hell into the real world.

What started out as a tiny drop of water has now grown to the size of a land called the Demon World.

And just like her, Jim received the name of the Heavenly God from Rapha and unleashed the power called divine power into the world.

Strictly speaking, divine power is not the inherent power of a god, but rather a byproduct that is created due to the distortion of his existence.

“Are you afraid?”

“… … .”

Why Rapha is so incredibly cooperative with the warrior party and Jim.

It was also because of a new possibility that even she didn’t know about.

It’s not a verified story. It’s not certain.

However, it cannot be helped that the position of accepting it is different.

“If only you hadn’t done such stupid things… … .”

The moment Jim the Angel fell to the ground, divine power disappeared from the world.

To be exact, it doesn’t matter to those who have already awakened, but after that, people who can use divine power disappeared. That’s why people thought that the gods had abandoned humans.

And the results also suggest another possibility.

“It’s obvious that that crazy b*stard’s ultimate goal is my life.”

The mastermind who created the Demon World.

Defeat the evil spirit, Mara Papyas.

That will be the conclusion of Belphegor, the Demon King who carries the cause of the Demon World on his shoulders.

Even if you kill her, there is no guarantee that the Demon World will disappear. However, even if there is just that possibility, the Demon King’s position is such that he can do it, that he cannot help but do it.

And the current Demon King has absorbed the power of the Heavenly God and become a monster.

“shit…….”

Belphegor could also be seen as a being similar to Rapha.

A being born with the destiny to become a god. A being that will ascend to nirvana on its own if left alone and leave the world, a being that you don’t have to worry about.

But before Belphegor could reach that fate, he committed a crime.

A being born with the ‘fate’ of becoming a god from the beginning. And a being who created the fate of becoming a god through asceticism.

Belphegor, who has acquired these two powers at the same time, can be said to have gained powers that are virtually equal to those who exist beyond this world.

“Well, isn’t it just reaping what you sow?”

“… … .”

Rapha ground his teeth.

Reaping what you sow? That’s not wrong.

She was originally a being close to an evil spirit and lived that way.

But, I can’t help but get mad when a kid who was so stupid that he fell to the ground is doing it.

“Ha, okay… … . Okay. Why would I be mad at you?”

“Aren’t you suppressing your anger just now? Weren’t you trying to get angry?”

“No.”

Rapha had no intention of getting angry at Jim, who could be said to be cooperative. He was also taking care of his own affairs.

It’s better for her to help you do something than to get angry and kill you or get in your way.

Even though she may be the embodiment of evil, she has no intention of throwing herself into a fight against a common enemy.

However, there were a few issues that needed to be addressed.

“By the way, can I ask you something? Are you looking at my daughter’s breasts right now?”

“Don’t be so ridiculous! I was just thinking that Tina might be cold.”

As he spoke, Jim just stared at Tina with the blanket in his hand, without covering her up. It would be natural for the surface area to be reduced significantly if he covered her up.

From the beginning, I was planning to treat Tina with La Pa, but it was strange to even cover her with a blanket.

Rapha asked Jim, who was still in the throes of lust.

“Wouldn’t it be okay to touch my chest? I don’t get mad or anything over something like that, so why don’t you just be honest with me?”

“No matter what, the accusation is serious. How can you touch something that doesn’t exist?”

“You’re not the one who’s in trouble… …?”

La Pa was shocked by Jim’s serious expression.

Rapha recalled how his daughter came to him secretly in the middle of the night one day and asked him how to make his breasts bigger.

My heart ached.

Luckily for her, she had very large breasts that Tina didn’t have, so she was able to get by.

“Hey, there? Rather than that, do you want to touch mine?”

Rapha seemed to snicker at the gap between himself and Tina, then unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt and secretly thrust his chest forward.

Once again, the evil spirit’s unbridled liberation that she had been disguising as ordinary is revealed.

Even a man who wants to become a wise man can fall back into the swamp of the seven emotions, and Jim’s gentle eyes turn to the extremely vicious weapon.

“Is that okay?”

“Aha? So you wanted to touch it? That’s why you just compared it, right?”

“… … You are like a cowardly evil spirit.”

Jim hated La Pa.

I hated it to begin with, but I couldn’t forgive her for trampling on a man’s innocence in this way.

“I never said no?”

“How many times do you think I’ll be fooled in the same way?”

“Really? But even if that’s true, there’s nothing to lose by trying, right?”

Jim hated La Pa.

It was that way in the past. It is that way now. And it will be that way in the future.

“Is it okay?”

However, it may not be a bad deal for a trading partner.

“No, no.”

No, he was also bad as a business partner.
