Great Ancient Wizard, Brings in the Gods. (4)

  “Don’t worry, Zero.”
But then there was someone who confidently stepped up: Aria.

  “If you collect all the pieces of the fragments, I’m confident we can solve this. If you use the power of the fragments in this place, you will be able to create a passage between the Divine Realm and Middle Earth.”
[Such nonsense!?]

  “That’s right! Then there won’t be a big problem with the operation. I’ll be right back.”
[Wait, Zero…]

  Fayna, who simply couldn’t believe how significant the fragment of merit was, tried to hold on to Evan in confusion. However, his figure had already disappeared from the spot.

  “Did he get faster…? I can’t tell.”
“I’m sure he had become stronger when he gained his armor. That’s not fair.”
Leo grumbled like a child next to Maybell, who tilted her head. Evan gave him a hard time.

  “Grandpa, I told you to wait for a little more.”
“It doesn’t matter if I need to wait, but I wanted to use my unique armament against the Devil, but I don’t think I’ll be able to do that…get it?”
Leo felt something strange as he replied. Looking back, Evan was there. He already collected the four fragments and handed them to Aria.

  “I’m a little late because I was getting the fragment from the north.”
“…”
Had Evan finally started dealing with time? Leo agonized seriously, but Aria managed to accept it without making any comments.

  “Then let’s bring the gods in right now. Fayna, please participate. I want the exact physical coordinates.”
[Oh, I see.]

  The four fragments had then been merged into one to form a small bead. Aria held it in one hand, muttering in a small voice, “I’ll use it well,” and smashed it right away.

  “Aria?”
“It’s okay. You shouldn’t copy anyone who’s not a priest.”
The energy of the beads breaking out was absorbed into Aria. She took it quickly, smiled, and began to chant in earnest.

  “Hurry up, Fayna. The door will open now.”
[There must be only monsters like that around Zero…]

  Pieces were falling from the sky to the ground. A small hole had sprung up in the middle of it. As it grew bigger and began radiating light everywhere, Fayna casually put her hands together to pray.

  [It’s the energy of the gods. I can’t believe the door to the Divine Realm is open…!]

  “Hmm.”
It was then that Evan suddenly felt a surge of eerie energy from the north. He turned his head. That was where the gates of the Demon Realm and the gates of the Spirit Realm were mixed. There was a torrent of evil spirits around the Eternal Glacier. Evan felt two kinds of familiar vibes from it.

  “It looks like he’s coming.”
“He?”
“The Devil.”
There was silence for a long moment. Shortly after, everyone realized what Evan was talking about and made a loud noise.

  “The Devil!”
“The Devil is trying to reach Middle Earth himself!”
“No, all of a sudden?”
“Not all of a sudden.”
Of course, it was swift compared to the case in Yo-Ma Great War Zero, but Evan’s track record had been quite different from that of the Ancient Great Wizard as well. The growth rate of the allied forces was speedy, and they broke into the middle barrier and broke down the base forces. Crucially, in the process of driving a wedge between the Middle Earth and Spirit Realm dragons and exterminating them, the southern base of the Demon tribes was also smashed, so frankly, they provoked the Devil.

  “Now that I hear it, I’ve done a lot of things…!”
“It’s mainly Zero’s work!”
“Anyway, he knows what we’re going to do now. It’s about to be settled.”
“The Devil…!”
Evan felt his arm tremble a little. It was a good thing that he had his armor. No, of course, they were caught because he was making his armor. It was terrible to think of a collision with the Devil without his unique armament.

  “Dear Fayna, George and his party are in the dungeon now, right?”
[Yes. they won’t be able to come out until I’m done.]

  “That’s good.”
Before the gods had been brought down, it was fortunate that they were ordered to keep them in the dungeon in advance, fearing that the gods on earth might try to plant faith in humanity (although no one else knew why George had to believe in the Mother Earth). Whether the Devil died or Middle Earth was destroyed, they wouldn’t come out to the earth until either side broke.

  “Master…”
Maybell took Evan’s hand, perhaps because she was nervous about the word ‘Devil’. Mirole didn’t want to lose and held his other hand.

  “Open the door to Necklace World.”
When Evan opened the gate to the Necklace World, the elite forces who were already ready for battle emerged from it. Humans, elves, and dwarves, all covered with flashing dragon bones and scaly weapons, marched out. In the meantime, all of the dwarves had given up training and made it all night long, so they succeeded in arming themselves with dragon weapons!

  “I think we can beat an enemy that’s more than 50 levels apart. As expected, Dwarves make the best weapon!

  “It was worth destroying a race, Master!”
[Either be nervous or just relax!]

  “I’m doing this to relax.”
Maybell rebuked Fayna for not being able to stand without interrupting Evan and Maybell’s conversation. Then some others beat her to Evan.

  “God!”
“We’re ready, too.”
“…I’m done with my resolution.”
It was the trio of witches who grew a few days ago and showed off their hard-working beauty. They also held robes made of dragon skin, hats and gloves, and staffs made of dragon bones and dragon eyes. Evan was just admiring the brilliant artwork that was never seen before in the original Yo-Ma Great War series.

  “Wow, it’s so pretty.”
“Yes, I can’t believe it’s pretty…yikes, it’s finally time to sacrifice myself to god!”
Of course, Sharay, who took it as “you’re beautiful,” stamped her feet with joy and moved on.

  “The magic has already been set up. From now on, our battle magic is only effective on the Devil until the very moment he dies.”
“I’ve set a lot of other restrictions, but I’ll be fine if I’m around god Oppa.”
Sharay and Arpa were ready to fight the Devil. On the other hand, Naz decided to give up her ability to raise her hand with constraints and instead focused on blocking the Devil with their Allies.

  “I want to see the gods closer.”
“Yes, that’s a good idea.”
[The passage is opening…!]

  At that moment, the Allies crawling out of the Necklace World began to form. The gate in the middle of the waterfall greatly expanded and shone brilliantly. As if to match it, a terrible spell erupted in the northern land beyond, creating a massive column of magic.

  “The Devil…”
Mirole murmured blankly. Evan smiled lightly and reassured her.

  “I’ve done everything I can. But if it doesn’t work, we’ll die together, anyway.”
“At least I’ll die with Zero. That’s not too bad.”
Only then did Mirole smile and grasp Evan’s hand tightly. Naturally, Maybell, on the other side, also put a lot of strength in her grip.

  “You can’t die in a place like this, so give up on that thought. I’ll be following you around the rest of your life.”
“That sounds like harassment.”
At that moment. From the brilliant light emitted by the gate, divine beings emerged.

  [Finally on the ground…huh?]

  [What’s that swirling energy in the north? The Devil?]

  [Fayna, the Apostle of the Great Mother Earth! Explain. Things on the ground seem to be running a bit more urgent than we thought…]

  “All right, we’ve got the gods, so let’s start the second transmission!”
“Huh? Aria, what do you mean by the second transmission?”
“Surprise!”
Aria cheered and stamped the ground with a staff. Around the land, a vast, colossal magic circle appeared, surrounding all of her companions, including the Allies.

  [Wait… human priest who brought us down, that energy…wow! Argh!?]

  One of the gods seemed to have said something, but Evan didn’t hear it. They were already on the Eternal Glacier. What filled their eyes was the land of white snow…a legion of Demons and monsters filled the space.

  [It’s a human!]

  [Di-divine power?]

  [Huuuuuuuuuuuuh! A god? How come there are gods!]

  Evan thought Aria was confident. It was when the big match, in which the Divine world, the Demon Realm, the Spirit Realm, and Middle Earth clashed, and was forced to form by the magic of the fragments!

  * * *

  [Devillllllll!]

  The First Demon cried out. His whole body was soaked in blood, but his armament blood shadow was weak despite this being his ideal environment.

  [I can’t believe you can’t answer me when you need me!]

  “What do you mean he needs you? No, you don’t have to answer. We’ll be done soon, anyway.”
[What the hell. How come…!]

  Thorns wrapped around the crying First Demon. It was a technique that required a great price to permanently consume the energy of the Demons on the ground, but Rose, who knew that the Demons would never spread their wings again on this land anyway used her energy generously.

  “Let’s wrap this up, baby!”
“Yes! Hey!”
If it was a fixed target, there’s nothing to fear from anyone. Eir imbued all the magic in her dual pistols, shooting at the enemy. The finishing was, of course, Elizabeth’s part.

  “The enemy that stands between my brother and me, die!”
At the moment of the clash, the withdrawal of the two Morningstars in Elizabeth’s hands glistened with a mysterious light. The First Demon, who had no energy left, saw it and cried out as he felt death.

  [I must keep the promises with the Devil! Naiveeeeee!]

  Boom.

  And that was it. The moment after Elizabeth broke the First Demon’s throat and landed on the ground, the black energy flowing from First Demon’s body’s debris crept up and was absorbed by her two Morningstars. Surisaz’s rune and the black energy mixed, creating a strange glowing pattern.

  The Morningstar, which had grown by absorbing magic from the moment it entered the Demon Realm, had finally been completed. Elizabeth didn’t know, but it was pretty similar to the process of the birth of demon armament, and it had the same meaning as the unique armor, but it didn’t quite reach the realm of the soul.

  A weapon that condensed matter and magic to the limit. It was the moment of the birth of a rare wonder that had never existed before and would never exist again.

  “Wow, now I think I can do that!”
“It’s not the time, kid. I think things are going fast.”
Rose raised the thorn stalk, vigilant despite the First Demon’s death, pointing in one direction. There stood the man of the robe that Elizabeth blew away earlier. A spark popped out of Elizabeth’s eyes as she looked at the necklace in the man’s hand.

  “You! That! My Oppa!”
Elizabeth’s anger broke through the threshold in an instant. Not only did he just imitate Oppa, but now he stole his necklace! Even Elizabeth couldn’t know that the necklace was not Miraseul’s necklace, but a necklace that was newly made based on that necklace. Anyway, it was clear that it was Evan’s necklace.

  “I can’t forgive you…!”
“…”
The man was also muttering something out of reach of them. Elizabeth used the power she had just absorbed from the First Demon to create a vast, heavy shadow Morningstar behind her, swinging at the man. Before it hit him directly, a gate formed in the air engulfed him. At that moment, Eir, an Elf with good ears, clearly heard the man’s lips fluttering and saying something.

  “He said it was real! What’s real?”
“We have to go after him and kill him.”
Elizabeth swung her Morningstar again in the air. The gate, which had devoured the man and was being destroyed and was forcibly torn apart, expanding.

  “You have to go kill him!”
“I’m scared, Unnie…!”
“Ah, these damn things are so…!”
Elizabeth then grabbed Eir’s hand and jumped into the gate. Rose had no choice but to chase after them even though she was in tears. Shortly after the three disappeared into the gate, it was completely torn and disappeared. All that was left of it was red land and blood-colored Dark Magic that filled the atmosphere.

  Soon that began to fade away, too, because the owner of the world was gone.
