I was accidentally injured by God and I just want to be an ordinary person

Pretending to be repelled by the giant axe, Mitis took a step back and then swung the umbrella blade from bottom to top.

"Hmm... No, I can only show my achievements by fighting alone."

"In that case, how about fighting somewhere else?"

There is no problem with the suggestion. Just move while fighting. Even if Gerald can get up and continue fighting, it will take some time for him to catch up with him. Therefore, as long as he can seize the opportunity, he can use the strongest magic or javelin when Gerald is not around.

Nodding, Mitis agreed to the proposal.

In this way, the two pretended to be in a fierce battle - using only fancy-looking magic - while moving in the air, accompanied by the shadows of Gerard being shot down repeatedly and the magic casters casting magic.

However, after this scene lasted for several minutes, the patience of the Seal of Greed reached its limit.

"'Red Lotus Wings'."

"Frost Guardian."

The flames attacking Mitis were extinguished by Gerard, whose body was covered with small wounds, and the suppressed flames in the body of Greedy Seal suddenly ignited.

"You bastard—it's time to leave!"

"Hello!"

Completely ignoring Mitis's shouts, the Seal of Greed swung the giant axe made of fire behind him, as if to cut Gerard in half, and chopped it down with an unstoppable momentum, even the air made a series of sonic booms.

"Is it finally here?!"

Although he said so, Gerard was undoubtedly showing off. If he wanted to defend against such an attack, according to previous experience, he would have to use at least the fourth-level magic of the "Earth Shield". But the most important thing was that the "Earth Shield" could not be used in the air, so now he had no other choice but to dodge.

Just as Gerard was about to dodge, his eyes caught a glimpse of the dark red light gathered in Mitis's hand. If Gerard remembered correctly, it symbolized Mitis's strongest magic, a fatal blow for pure-blooded vampires.

If it was an attack of that magnitude, it might be able to cause damage to the Seal of Original Sin, provided that he could hold the opponent back and prevent them from using defensive magic.

Gritting his teeth and enduring the pain in his muscles, Gerard poured all his remaining magic power into his arms, and his body lit up with an orange light.

『Unbreakable Fortress』

This of course could not withstand the full force of the Seal of Greed. Gerard knew very well that the reason he did this was simply because he did not want to die without any resistance.

With such determination, Gerrard closed his eyes tightly.

However, the expected explosive pain did not come. Gerard felt as if an invisible force pushed him and pulled him away at the last moment when the Seal of Greed could not retract its force.

He could feel the intense burning sensation of the flames brushing against his shoulders, but Gerard was certain that he had saved his life.

Was that Mitis just now?

Before he had time to think about it, Gerard felt his brain dizzy. Now that his magic power and physical strength were exhausted, he had no way to stay awake. His eyelids gradually closed together, his vision began to become distorted, and finally everything was shrouded in darkness, and he fell straight down.

Clicking his lips, Seal of Greed turned around and faced Mitis.

"Finally solved, this guy——What?!"

In the field of vision, what greeted the Seal of Greed was a slowly flying circular magic circle outlined with dark red lines.

"Instant Death Curse"

This super-standard magic, which ignores the opponent's level and race and kills them instantly, has almost no disadvantages except for its ridiculously slow flying speed and being blocked by defensive magic and clothing.

"you--!"

"Close your eyes forever. You can only blame me for meeting you."

Without lowering her raised hands, Mitis increased her magic output. With almost no reaction time, the originally slowly flying magic circle suddenly accelerated and was accurately engraved on the heart of the Seal of Greed.

flutter.

Visibly, the flames all over the Seal of Greed dimmed, and the human body turned into gray-black mist, and the whole person gradually became limp.

After staring at the Seal of Greed and confirming that it no longer responded, Mitis lowered her head and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Finally... it's over."

"...As expected, I wasn't completely convinced that you were right. I was jealous. I didn't expect you to side with the humans. Even though I had no influence on your plan, you still went this far. You haven't accepted your will yet, right?"

As if she had heard something incredible, Mitis immediately raised her head. In her pink eyes, there was only disbelief, panic and fear.

The Seal of Greed, which had turned gray and black and had collapsed, was standing still.

"impossible!"

"What's impossible? I just used defensive magic in advance. The scene you saw just now was just to test your reaction. Thinking back to our previous conversation in the cave, it turned out to be your acting skills. I didn't expect that you could pretend so well even in your unawakened state. It really surprised me, but -"

The Seal of Greed reached out and touched his chin, looking Mitis up and down as if he was savoring something.

"But your despair right now is truly satisfying."

The originally calm male voice was tinged with madness, and the Seal of Greed slowly raised his hand and pointed his palm at Mitis.

"You're out of magic power, right? This will lower my level, but it's nice to have a reliable companion. Let me help you awaken!"

“No—don’t!”

Knowing what the Seal of Greed was going to do next, Mitis shook his head and flapped his wings continuously, retreating step by step.

"This feeling of despair is truly intoxicating. I want to experience it more, but it's best to end it quickly."

As soon as he finished speaking, darkness that seemed to be able to devour everything gushed out from the hand of Greedy Seal, and that speed was something that Mitis could not react to at all.

“No, don’t—!”

With fear in her eyes, Mitis immediately turned around and flapped her wings desperately to try to escape from the oncoming darkness. Unfortunately, just the action of turning around had consumed all her reaction time.

In Mitis's shrinking eyes, a black light rushed in front of her.

but--

"Reflection Trap".

A mirror-like crystal appeared in front of Mitis without warning, and then the black light was reflected diagonally upward into the air. It was as if time had stopped, and everything fell into deathly silence.

Chapter 63 Time Stops

"Who?"

It was natural to question it, and the voice of the Seal of Greed was full of fear.

Unlike the Seal of Greed, Mitis spoke intermittently with an incredulous tone.

"Blocked?"

Although Mitis didn't know what level of magic the black light was, she was certain that ordinary defensive magic could not resist it, not even the strongest of the seven, Arrogant.

If that's the case, what kind of magic can reflect light back?

It must be at least eighth-level or even ninth-level magic. No, judging from the fact that it not only blocked the attack but also reflected the light back, it might be a tenth-level super-level magic or something above that.

Mitis, who has the memory of the Mark of Original Sin, knows that the tenth level is not the pinnacle of magic, and there are even more unattainable areas above it.

“Who on earth is that?!”

No one responded to the cries of the Seal of Greed, and there was only the sound of the wind blowing in the air.

Unable to find its target, the Seal of Greed quickly focused its attention on Mitis, who was about ten meters away and looked confused.

"Another advance preparation from you!"

Shouting with anger.

Having paid the price of being reduced by at least two levels but gained nothing, the swelling anger quickly overwhelmed the rationality of the Seal of Greed.

"No--"

Mitis shut up as soon as she said that. After being frozen by Firestorm before, the reason for what happened just now was no longer surprising. There must be someone nearby who could use tenth-tier super-level magic. While she didn't know why they were unwilling to show themselves, there must be some unknown reason.

Perhaps I should follow the mysterious man's wishes and not reveal her identity.

Having lost all her magic power, Mitis grabbed at straws and spoke with forced calmness.

"So what?"

He had a terrified expression before, but now he looked so arrogant. Mitis couldn't help but admire his own acting skills.

"Tsk, in that case, please disappear."

The Seal of Greed spoke as he gathered a fireball in his hand that was as big as the sun.

Do you need a javelin?

Mitis soon had the answer in her heart, she could not completely rely on the mysterious man hiding in the dark.

Carefully and quickly, she took out the javelins given by Ella from the storage magic. It was roughly estimated that there were at least seven of them, but because they looked exactly the same, Mitis had no way of telling which one was the seventh-level magic.

[I don't know how Ella usually figures it out...but I guess I can just throw them out together.]

Thinking of this, Mitis held the pistol in her left hand and wiped the vampire's fangs with her free right hand. Blood immediately flowed down her fingers.

Gungnir

The innate magic that does not require mana has become the biggest trump card at this moment. Controlling the blood to wrap around the pistol, Mitis aimed it at the Seal of Greed. With the bonus of the gun that is sure to hit, the Seal of Greed will definitely not be able to escape this attack.

Except for one problem.

The coverage of the seventh-level magic is too large and will include the people below.

Of course, if that were all, Mitis could still comfort herself with the lie that "they died in the fight against the Seal of Original Sin", but what Mitis could not have anticipated was that the dead might include Nanako and her own soldiers, a result that she did not want to see at all.

The brief hesitation became the biggest failure, and the Seal of Greed completed the condensation of magic.

"'The Wand of Disaster'!"

A flame nearly a hundred meters long emerged from the hand of the Seal of Greed, mixed with unparalleled heat, as if to split the world in two, slashing towards Mitis from top to bottom.

At this point, Mitis also understood that now was not the time to be fussy. After silently praying in her heart that the seventh-level magic given by Ella was not a large-scale annihilation magic, she threw the javelin with a guaranteed hit effect.

"I don't care about that anymore. You are the loser, greed!"

In the blink of an eye, the huge flaming branch collided with several spears that were so small that they were almost invisible.

boom!

Just like the initial explosion of the universe, hearing was instantly deprived and the world was filled with white light.

◇

minutes ago.

"Yeah, yeah."

Looking at the roaring waves of fire, Ella couldn't help but shake her head. The Seal of Greed was really too chaotic.

After briefly thinking about the countermeasures, Ella raised her hand, but just as she was about to cast a spell, she suddenly felt a shock in her abdomen.

“Puff!”

I almost vomited my breakfast.

Fearing she'd been discovered, Ella turned her head—and it was Mitis, who was trying to dodge the "Fire Storm," who bumped into her.

Ella, clutching her stomach, was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say. At the same time, the magic casters below let out terrified cries.

Quickly regaining her senses, Ella focused her attention on the firestorm that was coming towards her.

"Ah, let's focus on the battle first. Since it's a firestorm—"Wendy's Blessing"."

Without any warning, the 30th-level ice magic instantly froze the huge wave of flames.

“Eh? Frozen? I just wanted to put it out… but now I’m in trouble…”

There's no doubt that freezing the flames into ice sculptures is more impactful than simply extinguishing them. For someone like me who believes in "normalcy," it feels like an overkill.

Even with the identity of Entalosfiel, he did not want to stand out too much - the strongest magic in this world was level ten, so in order to avoid being recognized as magic beyond level ten, he never used large-scale skills that looked very flashy in front of the crowd.

"Ahh... How should I explain this... Will it ruin Mitis's plan?"

If the Seal of Greed escapes because of his own magic, things will become very delicate.

Fortunately, it did not develop into that. The Seal of Greed mistook the ice sculpture for Mitis's advance preparation, which was unexpectedly stupid.

In the "Hidden" state, Ella, floating in the air, looked down at the magic caster on the ground.

"It would be troublesome if they were accidentally injured, so we should drive them away... Hmm, a more appropriate method would be to use 'Strong Airflow'."

He snapped his fingers lightly.
