Maze (4)

The fake god, the demon worshiper who jumped out from the middle couldn’t communicate.

There are gods, but there is a reason to serve the devil, and how devil worshipers communicate with the devil.

Well, people who serve gods are insane, but people who worship demons can’t be crazy.

Deciding that it was unnecessary to continue the conversation, I decided to erase the core of this fantasy.

It wasn’t too difficult.

Isn’t there a saying that in a lucid dream, one’s imagination comes true? Maybe that’s why it seems that the ability is stronger than in reality.

On the other hand, the other party did not even show any resistance, perhaps because it only had the ability to maintain the illusion.

Did you think that you would not be attacked if you disguised yourself as Orion?

When the devil worshiper who was in charge of the axis of fantasy disappeared, the space itself distorted and cracked like breaking glass.

And when the crack reached its peak, a beam of light began to shine through the broken crack, and I lost consciousness for a while with the feeling of being sucked into something.

And I opened my eyes again.

Fortunately, when I opened my eyes, there was no more terrifying development in the bedroom of the headquarters of the church.

If the cliché of loop water started, I might have really broken my heart.

I woke up on a cot in the barracks that I had become accustomed to over the past few days and jumped out of bed.

Although the demon worshiper seemed to have been subdued, in fact, it was still in the palm of his hand, so the possibility that he had not yet escaped the illusion could not be completely ruled out.

Besides, even if this was the real thing, there were things to check.

I don’t know how much time has passed, but the fact that no one is guarding me means that it hasn’t been long enough to notice my abnormality, or that other people are also in a state of fantasy and can’t confirm me.

If it’s the former, it’s fortunate, but if it’s the latter, I had to use my hands as soon as possible.

I don’t know why they didn’t attack the illusory expedition as a group, but anyway, it was in the middle of enemy lines, so I didn’t know when an attack would come.

After jumping out of the barracks, I could see soldiers lying everywhere.

Seeing the letters around the soldiers, they weren’t dead, and it seemed clear that they were in the same illusion as I was, judging from the status abnormality phrase “Illusion.”

Seeing that not only the aura but also the letters are visible, can we judge that the illusion is definitely out of the way?

In fact, in order to induce me to have such thoughts, I didn’t show the letters in the first illusion, and then show them this time, right?

Once I experienced a fantasy that seemed like reality, I kept doubting the situation.

Even if I assume that even this is an illusion, I had to heal people first, so I slowly approached the fallen soldiers.

If I had been attacked by monsters or zombies while everyone was asleep, the damage would have been great, but that was fortunate enough.

But why didn’t you really attack? Did you have the confidence to corrupt everyone with your fantasy?

The time when he was trying to heal the nearest soldier by raising his divine power with unconfirmable questions.

oh oh oh oh

A strange sound resounded in the barracks, which was unpleasantly quiet as everyone was asleep.

I reflexively turned my head in the direction of the sound, and my eyes met a monster that was staggering out of a barracks.

It was a strange creature that could only be described as a monster, with tree trunks growing through it all over its body, and sharp teeth that could hardly be called human grew out of its mouth exposed through the face surrounded by trees.

Oh, I was stupid. After all, if even one of these many people who corrupts comes out, even if the rest can’t be corrupted, you can use that one person to annihilate the expedition, so you didn’t bother attacking from the outside?

…Such a plague. Then you’re under attack right now.

I had a belated realization.

Was it too much to hope for the sportsmanship that calmly waited for me to come to my senses after being confused by the monster?

oh oh oh

Ignoring my bewilderment, the monster that I saw made a terrible noise like scraping stone slabs, and a bustle began to be heard from the barracks on the outskirts.

I’m pretty sure that wasn’t a good sign.

I just want to go back to sleep again. I’m starting to think that the fantasy I can play with is better than reality.

I quickly looked around the barracks.

Seeing that there weren’t as many barracks where monsters popped out, it didn’t seem like there were many people who became monsters.

However, seeing that there were no soldiers to be on guard, and no one, including the commander of the knights, standing up, the knights, who must have had several times more sensitive senses than normal people, seemed almost certain that they were still in illusions, even if they hadn’t become monsters.

Even if the number of monsters was not very large, it was literally a matter of time before the members of the expedition who had no resistance were annihilated.

It seemed that a few people like me who conquered the illusion alone would have no problem dealing with a monster of this size, but that was too optimistic a view.

There was no more time to be idle as before.

I converted the divine power I had just raised for the healing spell and blew it at the monster in front of me, then started running toward the surrounding barracks.

People who had fallen around the barracks caught my eye, but I tried to ignore them.

Since it was judged that it might be difficult to save everyone here, it was right to first save people who could be helpful and important people in the current situation.

The first target was the barracks where the princess and the knight commander were located.

The princess was a person who had to be saved safely in the first place, and it was judged that there would be no big problem in arranging the situation just by waking the knight commander.

Fortunately, both barracks were located not too far from mine, so I arrived quickly.

I thought about it for a while, but I entered the knight commander’s barracks first.

In any case, if only the knight commander was awakened, the safety of the princess would be secured indirectly.

When I entered the barracks and cast Haeju Seongbeop on the knight commander, I succeeded in doing Haeju easily with a very small amount.

It was so easy that I lost my pulse.

I think it would have been okay if I had just treated the visible knights first.

“Hexen-nim! Wake up!”

As soon as I saw that the black magic had been lifted, I shouted out loud.

“Hmm? Apprentice saint? After all, that’s…”

Uncharacteristic of a person who had just fallen into a fantasy, the knight commander immediately opened his eyes and looked at me in a daze.

“There’s no time. Monsters inside the expedition are attacking people who haven’t woken up yet. I’ll wake them up, so please deal with the monsters.”

Fortunately, the captain of the knights immediately nodded his head instead of asking what the hell he was talking about in a situation where every minute and every second was wasted.

“Please ask the princess.”

Then, leaving only those words behind, he disappeared toward the outside of the barracks at an invisible speed.

I didn’t bother to ask again just to figure out the situation here, and didn’t make a fuss about saving the princess first. I was so satisfied that I felt like crying.

bang!

As I left the barracks to head to the princess, I saw the knight commander slaying the monster in the distance.

It was so riotous that nearby monsters were rushing towards the knight commander.

I wondered if he was aiming for that and running wild more noisily.

To be honest, I just woke up and couldn’t grasp the situation properly, so I don’t know how many more demons there might be, but making a fuss to attract attention like that. Is this the confidence of a master?

i envy you.

Let’s never let go of the imperial emperor who can command such a person, not that power.

With that thought in mind, I entered the princess’s barracks.

Fortunately, the princess didn’t seem to have any major problems, just that she was still living in fantasy.

I just cast Haeju, just like before.

…Huh? It consumes more holy power than when casting it on the knight commander?

Aside from my being puzzled, the princess also woke up soon after the illusion was resolved.

“Saint Ronan…? What the hell is this…”

However, unlike the knight commander, the princess looked very confused.

It seemed that he was unaware that he had awakened from an illusion.

It seems that the divine power that goes into it is different depending on how deeply you are immersed in the fantasy.

Actually, even if I left it alone, the knight commander might have broken the illusion on his own.

“Azelia-sama, you need to wake up. Everything you’ve been through is an illusion. Hexen-sama is fighting monsters outside right now. I’ll give you a detailed explanation later.”

“What is that…”

The princess asked blankly, as if she still didn’t understand, but it was a waste of time for me to give a long speech about the devil worshipers’ tricks.

Besides, I’ll have to gather people together and explain this situation again, but there’s no reason to say it multiple times in a painful way.

Instead of answering the princess’s words, I headed out of the barracks again.

The sound of the embarrassed princess following behind her, armed with arms, was heard.

First of all, at least the safety of the knight commander and the princess was secured… Next was the elven princess, then the clergy, and then the wizards and knights.

While I ran to the princess’s barracks while checking my priorities, the princess, who had followed me, looked around and was at a loss as to what to do.

It seemed like he was trying to ask the knight commander what was going on.

Yes, I’ll explain everything later, so for now, follow the knight commander and deal with the monsters.

With that thought in mind, I entered the princess’ barracks this time.

And as soon as I entered the barracks, I reflexively covered my nose at the strange smell that stimulated the tip of my nose.

what is this…?

Embarrassed, I reflexively looked around and witnessed a shocking scene.

The tree trunk protruding from the princess’s chest was beating little by little as if it were alive, showing off its presence.

In addition, twigs grew on both hands and covered them, and some parts of the face were covered with tree bark.

It wasn’t a strange look. If things get worse over there, they’ll become the monsters you witnessed outside.

Fallen? Is it too late?

It was a shocking sight to the point of contemplating whether to kill the princess here.

Fortunately, I was able to regain my composure before attacking directly.

It wasn’t quite too late yet.

The name of the princess was still clearly visible, and the familiar phrase, “The Seed of Corruption” along with Living in Fantasy, was written on the condition.

In short, it was a state similar to that of a little friend or patient who was mutating into an orc at the time.

I did not think that treatment would be impossible as I had a history of treatment already.

I quickly used the spell to do the same curse.

Much more divine power was consumed than the knight commander and the princess, even more than when curing a child who had almost completely turned into an orc.

Even if a few more people like this come out, the holy power won’t be enough to heal all the people in the expedition…?

Fortunately, the pouring of divine power was rewarding, so the tree trunks and barks that had grown on the princess’s body seemed to have dried up, but then they turned to powder and began to disappear.

The princess quickly regained her original form.

Although they said they were cured, it was a group of people who wanted to wake up the princess right away and ask for help. If I remember correctly, it took several days for the little boy who was on the verge of turning into an orc to wake up.

Instead of waking the princess, I took off the cape of my robe and covered it with a tree trunk growing in place of the torn clothes, then stood up.

I’ll have to heal a nearby elf to protect the princess.

It was the moment when I went out with such thoughts.

“Ro…I…saint…”

I turned my gaze to the princess at the faint voice of the princess.

I opened my eyes very slightly, but the eyes that were not focused at all were staring somewhere in the air.

“sorry…”

As the princess said that, she began to weep.

To be honest, it was an emotional line that I couldn’t follow at all.

I thought I had already released a certain amount of guilt by giving me mental care, but it was a sudden apology.

If I had to guess the reason for the tears, I wouldn’t be able to guess…

What the hell did you see in the fantasy, this princess?

“Iris-sama. It’s just a nightmare. Iris-sama just had a terrible nightmare. There’s nothing to apologize for.”

These words are close to drool talk in a dreamless situation where you can’t even distinguish between fantasy and reality anyway.

You won’t be able to remember what he said or what I said.

I also left the barracks without saying anything in moderation.

There was still a lot of work to be done for the princess to cling to her because she was worried.

For now, it was possible to see that the urgent fire was put out by treating the people who needed to be treated first.

Dealing with monsters doesn’t seem difficult with just one Knight Commander, so from now on I thought I could just wake up the priests and treat others like the priests.

But before that…

My gaze turned to the barracks where the priests of the Orion Church were staying.

Is there any other moment where an accident of injustice is more likely to happen than now?

The expedition was stronger than expected, so there was no time for the leader to suffer an unexpected accident during the melee, but it just worked out.

Our leader, he was a really good person, but unfortunately he was corrupted and had no choice but to kill him. What if he hadn’t fallen?

It’s the reason, it’s enough to put on something more plausible later.

Either way, the leader will end his life today.

I moved toward the barracks where the leader was staying.
