Never Die Extra

Chapter 473

The Great Ancient Wizard, Brings in the Gods. (2)

One from the front. At the same time, one that circulated the air and hit the back. Lastly, one of them dug into the ground and then suddenly jumped above the feet. Evan kept still until they reached his body and held them with Annihilation just before the strike. Although it seemed like he caught them lightly, Evan was able to measure the resilience felt the moment he held it when he used Annihilation. It was pretty satisfactory.

“Okay, it’s improved.”

“…”

The three things Evan caught…were the boomerangs from the demon armament of the Seventh Demon. He gave it back to their new owner, Cattleya. It was the last class before making her unique armor. He tried to determine whether he could put Cattleya in practice with this, and he was delighted with the results that exceeded his expectations. However, Cattleya, who took the boomerang back from Evan, looked stunned.

“It didn’t work on you at all?”

“It’s because I’m the opponent, and your control or power is indeed growing at a tremendous rate. Quickly to a level that is impossible for any other Demon.”

Even after hearing Evan’s high praise, Cattleya remained glum. She still evaluated her training with the determination to give Evan a solid blow somehow as he looked down from a high place. But Evan was also sincere. Of course, Cattleya was quickly gaining strength by learning Claw combat skills from Evan. But isn’t dealing with the boomerang, the Seventh Demon’s armament, a problem that has nothing to do with being skilled in Claw combat?

It was only a matter of Dark Magic affinity, dominance, and proficiency. An area of pure individual talent and effort had nothing to do with the game settings of the Yo-Ma Great War series. She was getting stronger than Evan’s expectations here, so he couldn’t help but be surprised.

“Are the Ten Demons always at this level? No, the Demon King was one of the Ten Demons, too.”

“Maybe not. I realized that when I started training…”

Evan murmured, half-awakened by Cattleya’s natural talent. Cattleya was a little smug; whether she knew he had truly admired her, she confessed her innermost thoughts without being asked.

“So far…I thought I had no talent because I couldn’t handle magic.”

“It’s a one-dimensional idea.”

“Hmph! I was just about to say thank you!”

“You don’t need to. You’ve become strong enough to be considered powerful, so you just have to beat up the demons.”

Evan had no intention of building this girl’s likability. Unfortunately, however, his excessive charm wrapped up this blunt attitude well, making him look attractive. Regardless of attitude, it was clear that Evan reminded Cattleya to realize her talent and use it well.

“I will give you a punch!”

“That’s right. To fulfill your wish, cut your claw combat training in half from now on and practice controlling this boomerang in all your spare time.”

“Hmph, okay…I’ll do it.”

He checked Cattleya’s growth and made a training schedule just for her. So, it could be natural for Cattleya to think that Evan thought of her as someone special. From the moment she was born, she was sought after by other demons. The Third Demon and the other powerful demons treated her as a seed to leave more vigorous offspring.

She hadn’t expected to be more than a pretty doll, even by the Succubae who protected her. But only Evan found her potential, yelling at her to fight. It left an indelible impression on Cattleya.

“All right, so the rest of the time, Lian…”

“You do everything you can to the point where you feel like you’ve done too much.”

“Huh?”

When Evan checked her schedule, she tilted her head and looked back. She seemed to be mumbling as she shrugged, revealing her true feelings.

“You’re trying to lead everyone without a moment’s rest. At first, I thought it was a characteristic of humans, but I don’t think it’s that because I saw the other humans on Middle Earth. If there were someone like you among the Demon Tribe, the Demons would have been integrated.”

“That’s what you were talking about? Well, you have to be diligent in everything to deal with the Devil. This will be over soon.”

“The Devil…”

Cattleya trembled as she saw Evan genuinely thinking of fighting with the Devil. She was born as a Demon and felt the Devil’s presence more strongly than anyone else, so she knew how absurd Evan was.

“I admit you’re powerful. But, you know, the Devil is too much. He’s an absolute being. Even if we deal with him in Middle Earth, not in the Demon Realm…”

“Don’t worry. According to my data, there’s no way I’m going to die if I confront the Devil right now.”

“Then you don’t know a thing about the Devil. If he can find the right body, it will not be possible with the power of a mortal…”

“Find a body?”

Evan’s eyes narrowed as soon as such words popped out of Cattleya’s mouth. But what about Cattleya, who just said that? She also tilted her head.

“What did I just say?”

“Hey, I don’t like things like that.”

“I don’t care what you like or dislike! It’s just that I think I just said something I don’t know about…”

Evan’s eyes narrowed. It was a joint development in games and novels. The supporting actor, who usually lost his memory and lived like an ordinary boy and girl, suddenly changed at some point and spat out a line that seemed very lively. Later it turned out that the supporting actor was a significant figure on the enemy’s side.

The problem was that Cattleya didn’t seem to be lying at the moment. Above all, if Cattleya hid something from Evan, there was no reason to say anything suspicious at this timing.

“Think about it. You just said, ‘If only the Devil could find the right body.’”

“A body? A body…”

It was Cattleya who listened to Evan’s words and fell into contemplation as if it were her first time hearing it. As Evan waited silently for her to continue, she, who had organized her thoughts, nodded her head once and opened her mouth.

“Yes…the Devil is the master of the Demon Realm. It’s impossible to get into Middle Earth with his own body.”

“No matter what?”

“No matter what. As a resident of the Demon Tribes and as a member of the Ten Demons, I can assure you.”

Well, according to her, at this point, a lot of the settings of Yo-Ma Great War Zero were going to be inaccurate. Since there was no need to talk to the Devil in the central episode of Yo-Ma Great War, he had no time to ask whether the summoned Devil was the main body or another body…! At least their allies believed that the body of the Devil, including the Ancient Great Wizard, had been brought down!

“How do you get the Devil to cross over?”

“Yes, the way is to disguise the Devil and put him into another body to deceive the world.”

She didn’t seem to recognize it, but Cattleya’s eyes clouded again. Perhaps she didn’t recognize her own words, as she did when she suddenly uttered them.

‘This is by no means a common knowledge even for a Demon Tribe…’

At least he didn’t hear that from Maybell. Of course, Maybell wasn’t a Demon of this era and was already sealed at birth, so she didn’t know much about it…nothing could be guaranteed at the moment. Evan didn’t disturb Cattleya and waited silently for her to continue.

“At this point, the person who imparts the body must be strong enough to take the spirit out of it…”

“…”

“That’s why if the Devil is brought to the human world, he will look not so different from the other Demons from the outside.”

“That’s what I mean. But I’m sure the Devil is…”

Evan tried to recall Yo-Ma Great War Zero’s final match. Yeah, the Devil looked like a black gas monster that didn’t show a precise shape. It wasn’t seen as a creature, let alone a demon, but he thought that would be the case for the final boss. He thought it was part of the production and moved on. But don’t say it wasn’t his main body? Was it the result of a failed ritual…?

“No way.”

A smile came out of nowhere. Even the Ancient Great wizard couldn’t deal with him properly, so he only sealed the Devil. The one who defeated every God except the Creator, strengthened every Demon Tribe by his existence alone, and rotted the World Tree…she was saying it wasn’t the actual body of the Devil? If that were to be the case, the calculations needed to be thought of again before entering the situation.

“Follow me for a second. I need to discuss this with other people. Especially with the emphasis on what’s called the body.”

“Ahh!”

Evan pulled the defendant’s hand hard. Brought back to her senses by the shock, Cattleya freaked out and smacked his hand. It was so cute that Meow-one and Meow-two came up and growled after sensing the owner’s distress.…no, it wasn’t the time to do this!

“I don’t know anything more than this!”

“I guess so. I wouldn’t have needed more than that.”

“You don’t need it?”

At the words that came out of Evan’s mouth, Cattleya frowned and asked again. Realizing that she had made a slip, he replied by clicking his tongue.

“No, I’m sorry. It’s nothing. Anyway, now we all need to get together and discuss it. Maybe the reason why the Devil joined hands with the monsters of the Spirit Realm is to climb into Middle Earth with the bodies of the monsters of the Spirit Realm .”

“What a terrible thing to say!?”

Cattleya shuddered and shouted. But maybe the Devil joined hands with the Spirit Realm for that purpose. In addition, he felt as if she knew the connection between Devil and the Spirit Realm, which had finally broken down in the main episode.

‘The body that he originally planned to descend in had run away, so he needed to find another body urgently.’

Evan looked at Cattleya and fell into a complicated state of mind. Yes, he was convinced that Cattleya was originally the primordial body of the premeditated witch. She understood something like this, and she had a strong spirit and is talented at handling Dark Magic. This might all be explained because the Devil was planning to use her body to descend.

‘It was probably the will of the Devil that gave the seat of Ten Demons to a weak Cattleya who was born with great power and couldn’t handle it properly. It was to protect her until the day she was used as a primordial.’

Perhaps it was not only the Succubae that Samma Dagero was looking for but also Cattleya, who they were protecting. Evan had secured Cattleya and tried to leave the Demon Realm, so the Devil took extreme measures to hold them, and when it failed, he was forced to compromise with the Spirit Realm to prepare the descend through them…

If you interpreted it like that, didn’t everything fit together?

“I don’t know what happened to her in the original episode of Yo-Ma Great War Zero, and I don’t know why Devil ended up looking so strange.”’

If the ritual had been successful, the Devil would have borrowed Cattleya’s body and descended to the ground. However, in Yo-Ma Great War Zero, the Devil didn’t descend with its main body, which allowed the Ancient Great Wizard Master to seal it with impunity…

It bothered him a lot, but he didn’t know what happened in the game, and he didn’t need to know now. What was important was what Evan should do now that the threat of the spell had been reset. He originally planned to strengthen his native armament by utilizing the energy of the site of descent, but at this rate, wouldn’t it be better to attract as many Gods as possible and use them as sandbags to deal with the Devil?

[You’re talking nonsense, you.]

After hearing the whole story, Fayna responded.

[When judging from the gods’ position as an apostle and purely dealing with the Devil, you must choose your armament.]

“Why?”

[Because you are already more potent than the gods.]

Evan had an ambiguous look on his face at the words, while the group nodded as if they all sympathized. Even the World Tree was pruning branches with exquisite timing.

[The Devil is an absolute powerhouse. And now the Devil is more likely to appear more substantial than you postulated. Then who has to deal with the spell? Is it a substantial majority, or is it the same absolute power?]

“The absolute powerhouse.”

[Then we don’t need to discuss this further. Now, if you’re ready, let’s build our weapons.]

Evan wanted to argue with Fayna in many ways, but he quit. This was because it seemed that there was no one to take his side given the atmosphere.

“Hold on, I heard that the Devil needs another body to descend, but don’t the other Gods need to do that?”

[The conditions are harsh, but they don’t need another body to descend. The difference between Devil and the other Gods is also evident here.]

“You’ve changed a little, Fayna.”

[It’s all thanks to someone.]

Evan and Fayna had been glaring at each other when Mirole stepped in and asked.

“Zero, so we’re going with the plan?”

“No, I’m going to revise it. Originally, I was going to summon the gods and fight the Devil right away.”

Now wasn’t the time to move passively, believing only in the inner fanatic of Yo-Ma Great War…

[Manual?]

Fayna murmured back, but he still ignored it.

“As soon as my armor is complete, let’s go north first, with a few elites. Fayna, when you call the gods down, I’ll personally lure the Devil.”

[How do you mean?]

“Of course, we have to move to the gate. What makes you think you’ve been picking up pieces of merit for so far?”

[At least I didn’t think it was for the gods to be delivered to the Devil!]

A total of four fragments existed, and the other one Evan hadn’t yet collected was in the north, in the base camp of the Spirit Realm with the Demon Tribes. And collecting all four pieces made it possible to create a very special gate. That would make it possible to make the battlefield where ever Evan wanted it.

“Zero, can you show me that fragment?”

At that time, Aria, who had only been listening to the story without giving an opinion, opened her mouth. When Evan willingly accepted and handed it to Aria, she looked carefully at it, then nodded to herself.

“If you collect all the fragments, would you leave it to me?”

“It would be great if you could take care of it yourself.”

And that was how the new operation was decided. The group began to act straight after the discussion. Their destination was, of course, the site of the descent.
