Even if you succeed in jobless reincarnation and time magic, you must live life to the fullest.

Are you just keeping me here because you know I won't be trapped by the illusion?

"I'm still inside your body."

Just as I was pondering this.

Bita continued.

"Call me when you return to Rijrud, and I will come out to help you get rid of the plague."

"Is this okay?"

"However, in exchange, you must guarantee that I will not be killed by that dragon god."

"what?"

"After all, I don't want to die, and... after staying here for so long, I want to go out and see the world."

Bita said with a hint of pleading.

"...It's not impossible."

If you sign a contract, you can turn Bita into a companion.

Even if he was once an apostle of gods and men.

But once you become a companion, you will be under the protection of Orstide.

I imagine Orstide would be quite happy with that.

"alright, do not piffle any more."

"Bita said."

"I'm going to deactivate my ability."

"it is good……"

I took a deep breath.

next moment.

The scene before my eyes gradually faded away.

……

……

……

……

It felt like I had a very long dream.

I opened my eyes.

The world before my eyes was ablaze with red.

It feels like I'm in hell... Is it because I've done too many bad things that I'm in hell?

how is this possible.

Because I was already in hell.

That long dream has finally come to an end.

"Well……"

I propped myself up with my hands and sat up. The soreness in my body made me think I was still dreaming.

But it was soon discovered that he had simply been lying down for too long.

"boom--"

There was a loud explosion in the distance.

Huh?

I turned my head and looked.

Orstide... is not here.

"Ikaros?"

I tried calling out.

Please answer the question: Which wife did the master like the most?

Icarus asked in a cold tone.

"what?"

"Please answer the question within five seconds. Incorrect answers will result in elimination."

"Wait, wait a minute..."

"5, 4, 3..."

I don't recall setting up such a strange verification question!

"I love all three wives equally!"

“...Correct answer. Welcome back, Master.”

Icarus said softly.

That's a really dangerous question.

I felt relieved.

"Icarus, what happened while I was unconscious? Where is Orstide?"

"Mr. Dragon God's words indicate that he is currently engaged in battle with the enemy."

"what?"

enemy?

Could it be that...

Apostle of God or man?

Through Icarus's narration, I finally understood what had happened.

……

Just as Hades Pita entered Rudeus's mouth.

Rudius immediately lost consciousness.

Orstide rushed over and caught the fallen Rudeus, his face showing regret.

"Failed again...?"

Orstide sighed.

"No, not necessarily... If it's Rudeus, there might still be a chance."

"The fact that Hades did not immediately manipulate him is proof."

It was as if he was comforting himself.

Orstide muttered to himself, as if trying to comfort himself.

With that thought in mind, he prepared to take Rudius with him and leave.

But at this moment.

A hearty and penetrating laugh came from afar.

“Huhahahaha——”

The moment you hear the sound.

Orstide's expression changed drastically.

A robust, golden figure burst forth from the lava, crashing down like a meteor towards Orstide's location.

"I am the immortal demon king, Batigandi!"

"By order of the gods and men, we have come to take the head of Orstide!"

Batigandi, clad in the Armor of the God of War, appeared before Orstide.

Followed by.

He swung his fist and attacked Orstide.

The golden fist, encased in the God of War Armor, suddenly erupted with dazzling light, and a scorching aura swept over, seemingly hotter than the magma below, like a new sun rising from the earth.

Orstide stepped forward.

While shielding Rudius behind him, he charged forward to meet the attack head-on.

Hands crossed.

It draws a double circle in mid-air.

An unseen force flowed through his hands, surging like a never-ending stream, washing away everything.

The secret of the Water God Style: Flow.

Two figures passed each other.

The golden figure seemed unable to stop, crashing unexpectedly into the wall.

"boom--"

The rock walls crumbled like tofu.

Batigandi was completely buried deep inside the wall, buried by the rolling rocks.

"call……"

Alster stood there and exhaled a long breath.
