Chapter 125: Salvation of ruin

“Why! Why should I be defeated?”
The next thing Granard knew, he was surrounded by darkness.
The darkness of the abyss, where not even a ray of light could be seen. Before he could even think, his instincts told him that this was what was called death.
This is the world after death.
“I have been chosen by the Holy Sword! I have the blessing of the Goddess! But why should I let those little girls, who are not even Raidorl, take advantage of me? How can I be defeated!”
Granard shouts into the darkness.
The attack on Raidorl’s house was a trifling play of no great significance.
The holy sword or rather, the magic sword “Brionac”: was given to him by the goddess. In order to test the power of the sword, he chose Célia, the holder of the holy sword, who was protected by Raidorl.
Granard has enough power to defeat Raidorl. Then there is the Imperial Princess who was defeated by Raidorl. She must be easily cut down.
Granard went into the fight with a lot of confidence, but it turned out to be the opposite.
Granard was defeated, his body annihilated by the lightning of Claíomh Solas. The darkness of the underworld has swallowed him up, and even his soul is about to disappear.
This could not be allowed to happen. This was unacceptable.
“I don’t accept it! I do not approve! I will not allow myself to die like this, to be killed by a woman of Raidorl!”
“Ara,Ara..such selfishness, my dear apostle”
“Ooh?”
Granard was about to be swallowed up by the darkness when a helping hand came to his rescue. In the darkness of the abyss, a ball of light, dazzling like the sun, appeared and illuminated Granard.
The voice that came from the light was familiar. It was the voice of the being who had given Granard the magic sword.
“Ooooo….Ohhhhh!! O Goddess, you have come to save me!”
“Yes, …… that would be fine. What shall I do?”
Buddha in hell. This is exactly what Granard feels, and he shouts with delight, but the voice from the photosphere is quiet.
“I knew it. If the holder of the holy sword and Nei-chan were to fight together, we would have no chance of winning. She’s still mama’s daughter, no matter how weak she is. But, you know, just because we were able to measure how much of the witch’s power Nei-chan has regained, doesn’t mean that she has served her purpose.”
“What are you talking about…… Goddess!”
“You are no longer needed, are you? The purpose for which you were made an apostle has already been fulfilled.”
“Wha….”
The words of rejection came coldly, and Granard froze in despair.
He thought he was given the sword to become king of the world, but the unexpected revelation shook his soul.
“You’re abandoning me, ……! Why, why ……!”
“That’s the thing. …… Aah, what am I going to do? It’s not good for nature to throw away rubbish carelessly, no matter how much it has been used. It’s not good for the planet if we don’t recycle our limited resources!”
“Ha..A..?”
Granard is bewildered by the glowing ball of light, which utters words of unknown content. Still, he finds hope in the fragmented words and wrenches his already-disappearing throat.
“If so, please help me! If you can save me……and give me another chance to defeat those little girls and Raidorl, I will do anything!
“Anything?……a very tempting proposition.”
The light orb takes on a taunting tone. He could not see the woman’s face or body, but he could see in his mind a blonde beauty licking her lips lustfully.
“Hmm……Will you give me your soul, then?”
“Yes! With pleasure!”
Granard answered without pause. The question was then posed again.
“Will you kill my enemies?”
“Yes! Of course!”
“Will you wage war on my behalf?”
“Yes, yes! As much as you like!”
“!…lovely. Now, would you be willing to offer the lives of all the people in the Kingdom of Zain as a sacrifice for…… me?”
A cruel question shot out from the orb of light.
It is a wish that Granard, as king, cannot allow himself to agree to. For Granard, who has supported the country since the last king fell ill, it would be an act that would extinguish his achievements and the meaning of his existence.
“Yes! Of course!”
But he had no hesitation in replying.
“Are you sure you want to do this? Isn’t this the land of your birth?”
“The Kingdom of Zain is everything to me! That is why I cannot allow Raidorl to take it away from me! I would rather destroy it with my own hands than let Raidorl take it from me!”
“Fufu…..Ahahahahahahaha”
The light orb began to laugh uncontrollably.
“You say that this country is everything to you, but you are not afraid to say things that will destroy this country. Why do you want to be king? For whom do you want to defend your throne?…fufu..Hahahaa! Interesting, What madness, what self-contradiction! Why can’t I see that I’m going mad? Yes, this is humanity. It’s a hymn to humanity!”
“Go-Goddess?”
“All right, I’ll help you. I’ll give you another chance. But……is the last time mama is going to help you. Don’t forget that, okay?”
“Oh! Thank you!”
Granard applauded. Now he could take revenge on the cheeky little Imperial girl.
This time he would deal with Raidorl, who threatened his throne.
“Now, go! This time you will destroy the world once and for all.”
“Oh, Ooooooooo!!”
The power that he had lost comes flooding back. More than that, it pours out.
Granard threw his soul into the dazzling light with a sense of divine versatility.
