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

Although I was curious why Lotte didn't hide Hela in her skirt like those props, now was not the time to talk about that.

"No, they might just be other adventurers we happened to run into, and we don't know their strength yet, so wait a moment."

"OK."

He swiped the map again to confirm the strength of both sides, but found something that worried him. He put his hand on his chin and frowned.

"That Godman tribe is actually level 37... The highest level demon tribe is level 34. Even though the other demon tribes aren't strong, it's still difficult for the Godman tribe to defeat them alone."

"Miss Ella, let's find a place to hide first. Although Miss Ella's strength won't be threatened by these people, if Miss Ella uses her ability, won't her true level be revealed?"

After listening to her own judgment of the opponent's strength, Lotte thought about it and came to this conclusion.

Keeping the map suspended in the air, Ella pointed to the items still lying on the ground that had not been collected, asking Lotte to collect them, and then began to think about her purpose.

Was it coming for him? He hadn't done anything particularly eye-catching, even though he had deliberately revealed his rank in the Adventurer's Guild. And judging by the looks of the adventurers there, it was impossible to say they had no thoughts about him and Lotte. However, there wasn't anyone with such a high rank among those adventurers.

His already furrowed brows became even deeper, and the light spot on the map was getting closer and closer to him.

Is it for the money? But I already work at a dessert shop, so I don't look rich at all, do I? Wait...if that's the case, are you attracted to the Hela in Lotte? If that's the case, then there's no objection.

So, what was the relationship between these two groups? From a racial perspective, they couldn't possibly be the same group. While cooperation couldn't be ruled out, judging by the map, their movements were incredibly far apart. Rather than the Divine Humans in front being a vanguard sent by the Demons, it felt more like the Demons behind were stalking the Divine Humans in front.

In this way, the general situation can be confirmed.

First, the other party - at least the God-man tribe at the front - was coming for Hela on Lotte.

Second, the gods and the demons are not the same group, so the purpose of the demons cannot be confirmed for the time being.

After Ruthie packed up the props, he told Ruthie his previous inferences and the enemy's information on the map, and waited for Ruthie's conclusion.

"I think the demons are targeting the Divine Man tribe across from us, or maybe they just happened to be targeting us at the same time as the Divine Man tribe. But before that, there's another thing."

"What's up?"

Thinking that she might have overlooked something, Ella's tone couldn't help but rise.

"Miss Ella, do you remember what we talked about in the classroom earlier, about the battle between two groups of men in black in the commercial district?"

"Yeah, I still remember."

Luti checked the map again, pointed to one side of the crack, and began to take a step forward without any panic.

"Based on the levels Ms. Ella mentioned, I suspect this group is very likely the same group as the one back then."

After walking a few steps, a cave appeared not far to the left in front of him. Just by standing in his current position, he could feel waves of heat pouring out of the cave.

"why?"

"Two days have passed, and the Holy Academy hasn't caught them yet. Doesn't that prove they're stronger than the Holy Academy patrols? People like them aren't common in the academy, are they? And considering their numbers... I don't know why one person is missing, but it should roughly match up, right?"

After listening to Luti's reasoning, I couldn't help but nod.

"So, was it just a coincidence that we met this time?"

"No, I think their target is Miss Ella and me. They were fighting right on the same route we take to the pastry shop every day, right? And it happened to be in a small alley with the least people. And today, they chose to attack when we were alone. So, I think both sides want to capture us, but they're enemies, which is why we're in this situation."

As Luti spoke, she walked to the cave entrance that was emitting heat waves. She took out two stones from her pocket and knocked them against each other a few times. The two stones then emitted a dazzling light. These were minerals specially used to illuminate the surroundings in a dark environment.

After taking a quick look around, Lotte moved Hela to her back, lifted one side of her skirt, pulled out the magic gun inserted into the thigh strap, and after charging it, walked into the hot cave that was as big as two stories.

"Well……"

Although he had some symptoms of claustrophobia, now that Lotte was beside him and he was in his strongest state, his fear was much lessened. He breathed a sigh of relief and followed Lotte into the cave.

"So what should we do now?"

"This is the lava cave, so all we need to do is find a corner and wait for them to leave."

As soon as you enter the cave, the view becomes noticeably darker, with only the faint light from the light stone emitting light.

"If I hide, won't the mission be impossible?"

"Yes, but there's nothing we can do about it now, right?"

Although the light was too dim to see Lotte's expression, her helpless tone revealed her thoughts.

Feeling the heat and darkness sweeping over my body, I suddenly felt something in my mind being touched, and I stopped involuntarily.

"Come to think of it, I thought Miss Ella would be a bit nervous in this situation, but now she seems calmer than I thought."

Perhaps noticing that she had stopped, Lotte also stopped, raised the light stone in her hand and observed her expression.

"Did Ms. Ella discover anything?"

"Hmm... I think I know how to solve this. If this were the plains, I would definitely follow Lotte's advice and hide somewhere or run away quickly. But if this is the lava cave in front of us, I'm sure I can make them regret it, okay?"

Ella gave Lotte a happy smile, but in this dark cave, with only the light source of the light stone, this smile seemed more like a little devil in the comics.

Chapter 45: The Demon King and the Brave Man

"Um... what does Miss Ella want to do?"

Lotte seemed to be afraid of her own feelings, and her voice became softer.

She twisted her body. Ever since she'd transformed into a Lolita God, the tiny pair of wings on her back had been constantly visible. Furthermore, the white priest's uniform Lotte had prepared for her wasn't a backless outfit, perfect for spreading her wings. The feeling of her wings being wrapped in it was a bit uncomfortable. Furthermore, Lotte's uniform wasn't thermostatic, so the heat from the cave made her whole body sticky, further exacerbating the discomfort.

"wind"

He waved his hand gently to summon air to temporarily relieve the stuffiness, then began to answer Lotte's questions.

"Tsk, the wind is really strong with the level bonus... Ah, back to the starting point, this cave is very similar to a place in my hometown, so I have a way to get rid of them."

"Are they similar? But we haven't even entered yet... caves in different locations are bound to look very different."

"Hmm, so I need Lotte to show me the map. I need to correct the discrepancies."

"Okay, Miss Ella."

Taking the cave map from Luty, Ella unfolded it and glanced at the positions of the demons and gods on the "Terrain Search" - the gods were standing still between the cracks, probably descending, while the demons were still some distance away from the edge of the cracks.

The hometown he mentioned was actually the game "F.Wing". The reason why this cave was very similar to his hometown was that there was a copy in the game in the past, and the structure inside was exactly the same as what he saw now. If he had to say the difference between the two, it was that the current cave gave him more real sensory stimulation.

"Is the lava path next? This distance is also... the same. The monsters under the lava—'Evil Eyes of Flame', 'Fire Elementals'... wait, why is there even a 'Lava Lord'?"

"Who is the Lava Lord?"

"Lava Lords are creatures that live only in lava. They have no fixed shape and usually appear as a pool of magma. This makes them vulnerable to sudden attacks. Coupled with their high body temperature, they are very dangerous."

What he didn't say was that this kind of creature only appears in high-level copies of at least level 500. If it runs out of the Holy Academy, no one except himself will be able to deal with it.

However, since such a long time has passed and the academy has not taken any defensive measures, and other adventurers have also been here, it means that the Lava Lord is in a dormant period. After all, there is no need for such non-living things to be eaten deliberately.

"Do you need to hide?"

Lotte took a step closer to him, then took out a tool from her backpack that could increase the magic efficiency of the light stone. The cave, which originally had only dim light, suddenly became brighter.

Shifting her gaze to the void, Ella began to compare the information provided by Luti with the terrain search she had cast - the terrain was roughly the same, and as she had guessed, the Lava Lord was just curled up in a corner far away from here, motionless, and had entered a dormant period.

"No need, this lava lord has entered its dormant period, we can just leave."

"Do you need to clean up the monsters you encounter?"

Lotte reinserted the fully charged magic spear into the thigh strap and switched to Hela as her main weapon.

"No, rather, we still need the help of these monsters."

Thinking of the battles in the previous game copies, I couldn't help but feel something burning in my heart. In addition, the conditions of the cave in front of me were almost the same as in the game. This sense of reality seemed to bring me back to the era of being a player who shuttled through various games.

Although the opponent this time was weak, wouldn't this be a perfect opportunity for me to play the role of the Demon King? Setting traps, forcing the "brave" who came through to overcome hardships, finally reaching me, and then giving them hope at the end, crushing them mercilessly. Ahhh, just thinking about it made me lose myself.

"Um... Miss Ella?"

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

"No...nothing. I just thought Ms. Ella's smile was a little scary..."

"Eh? Really?"

He quickly raised his right hand to cover his mouth to prevent Ruthie from seeing his sinister expression. He did not speak again until the fear in Ruthie's eyes disappeared.

"Ahem, anyway, let's just keep going."

"Yes, yes."

……

The scorching air entered her lungs with her breath, and the heat that seemed to cook her alveoli rushed into her nasal cavity. Looking at the lava ocean in front of her that illuminated the ground like daylight, Ella couldn't help swallowing. Although she had experienced this kind of scene in games before, and had even seen countless scenes more dangerous than this, this was the real world. As soon as she thought about the result of not even ashes left if she accidentally fell down, she had the urge to turn around and leave.

I can't just leave like this... I've already said I'll make those guys regret it. If I give up like this, even if Lotte doesn't mind, I'll definitely be embarrassed by this for the rest of my life.

Reconfirm the map. Since maps made with magic are more accurate, the hand-drawn map in the Adventurer's Guide had already been returned to Luty.

The sea of ​​lava in front of us is actually the product of something like a teleportation array. An unknown natural portal was formed, connecting a place only a few kilometers away from the surface with deep underground, forming this lava sea that will not erupt.

Of course, an obstacle as simple as the lava ocean is certainly not enough to stop most adventurers, so the real danger lies in the various monsters from the bottom of the lake. Fairy-like monsters like fire elementals can often make people lose their combat effectiveness with the first blow after aiming at the target, while creatures like the Flame Evil Eye use mental shocks to make people lose consciousness for a short period of time, so that they can enter the stomach and become a delicious meal before falling into the lava.

"Thirteen level 8 Flame Evil Eyes, and a number of level 5 Fire Elementals... Well, in this environment, even monsters of this level can cause them considerable trouble. Besides, we have to save them for last so I can play the role of Demon King."

"Demon King? Miss Ella already looks like a demon king."

Standing in the blue sphere, a man's height, Lotte let out a long sigh of wonder. On the way here, he had already told Lotte about his plan, and of course, he had also told her about his intention to play the role of the Demon King. The blue sphere Lotte was currently in was a product he had created to protect her from the toxic gases of the lava.

I was surprised by Lotte's words, but also a little expectant. I turned around and looked at Lotte standing in the sphere.

"Eh? Really? Do I look like a demon king?"

"Yeah, with those purple eyes and such powerful magic, and that devilish smile just now, no one would question him even if he was called the Demon King, right?"

“Ahahaha…”

She sheepishly reached out a finger and touched the side of her face.

"Becoming the Demon Lord guarding the labyrinth has always been my childhood dream."

It's true. When I was playing games, I did dream of becoming a top player one day, and then transforming into a demon king, and being regarded as the final boss by other players to be collectively defeated.

"In that case, I'm a maid serving the Demon King?"

"Uh...I think so?"

Imagine Lotte wearing a maid outfit, picking up Hela and leading a group of monsters with different appearances to guard the hall, sitting on the throne waiting for the "heroes" to come and defeat her, and finally the heroes being ravaged by her in despair. Damn it... this kind of joyful feeling.

"That's pretty good, too."

I wanted to say something like "Isn't Lotte scared?", but I knew her answer before I said it. Lotte would definitely reply with a puzzled look, "Why should I be scared?" I looked at her expression - she looked like she was absorbed in something.

He shook his head helplessly, opened his arms like a demon king, and declared to the sea of ​​​​lava.

"Well then, let's prepare the stage for the 'heroes'!"

Although, the small body does not look like a demon king at all, more like a small animal that has been ravaged by the demon king...

Chapter 46: Making a Magic Circle

*创世纪6186年4月27日 下午13：49分 至圣学院外圈

"Bo."

In the rolling lava, bubbles kept exploding, and the magma seemed to be able to melt steel and fly everywhere.

"Wow! Still, let's fly higher..."

Ella, who was staying high in the sky using flying magic to set up a magic circle, glanced at the red liquid flying past her feet, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and quickly increased her flying altitude.

How should I put it... I always feel that being a demon king is not an easy job.

While carving the barrier with magic stone, I also have to pay attention to the danger under my feet at all times. There will even be monsters coming to harass me from time to time. Troubled by this delicate work, I can't help but complain in my heart, why the demons in the comics all skip the process of making mazes in one step, while I have to arrange it slowly.

"Ah~ah, I probably won't ever think about playing the Demon King again..."

"Is that so? Doesn't the term Demon King sound really cool?"

Because it was the first time to use the magic circle technique in the real world, he could not guarantee that he could accurately use the corresponding magic stone while carving the barrier, so he took Lotte with him to fly in the air and asked Lotte to help pass the magic stone.

He took the magic potion used to stabilize the barrier and carefully sprinkled it on the lines carved into the rock wall. He breathed a sigh of relief when the solution had completely seeped into the grooves.
