Chapter 382 - Exodus Sanctuary
My organ has been shut?
(T/N: Not sure if this 器官 meant body organ or instrument.)
The buzzing in my ears from earlier……
And then———- the particles of light that were floating in the air just now……
Could it be…… I thrust my palm forward.
My brows furrowed to a frown.
[I can’t use it…… Divine-level Magic.]
I can’t even use the simplest Fireball.
(T/N: Divine Ball of Flames / Fireball)
Part of my Divinity has been sealed?
Something had just happened.
Something has been set in motion.
However, a power that affects Deities……
Thereupon, the image of the crow I crushed earlier flashed in my mind.
Frustration welling up within me, I bit my nail.
[Anarveil.]
She was an excellent one, but she just couldn’t let go of her emotions.
If there hadn’t been a difference in opinions between us———- If only she hadn’t had those trivial emotions……
Even though she was made into a candidate to become a Demi-G.o.d as my servant……
Because of her longevity, she wanted to fully understand humans’ trashiness.
I was hoping she’d have a change of heart.
But, perhaps———- I should have just killed her.
[I see.]
So Anarveil’s cooperating with them huh.
(Could it be…… there are other Deities who came here other than Loqierra and Vanargadia?)
Someone like Thesis?
Or perhaps———– the Chief G.o.d Origin themself?
Was it a lie that the Heavens are in chaos right now……?
……No.
Just sending out the first two should have already been a difficult decision for them.
Moreover…… If someone else had come, why hadn’t they accompanied Loqierra and Vanargadia?
There’s no point in dispersing.
In that case———– did they send someone else as backup?
This quickly?
Was there just another Deity who was supposed to be with them and just arrived late?
That being the case, I transformed a nail into a blade and slashed the skin on my arm with it.
Thereupon, the skin regenerated immediately, and the wound disappeared.
There seems to be no particular problem with my body’s Modification and Regeneration abilities.
However, I could sense that my basic abilities have somewhat diminished.
If I had to describe it……
If 100 is being in perfect condition, it feels like they have diminished to about 90.
———–It isn’t a problem.
Yes.
That isn’t going to be a problem at all.
I finished checking my other abilities as well.
As I thought, it didn’t seem like there would be any particular problems.
I picked up a black-purple gem between my thumb and middle finger and placed it in my mouth.
[I stand by my beliefs.]
That’s why———— a slaughter.
[A slaughter it shall be.]
(T/N: Just an explanation for the first part of the chapter. This chapter still hasn’t ended yet.
神創迷宮, read as Shinso Meikyuu, first character meaning “G.o.d”, second character meaning “creation” or “beginning”, third and four character meaning “labyrinth”. G.o.d + Beginning, in kat’s mind, equates Genesis, so Genesis Labyrinth it is.
神葬命宮, also read as Shinsou Meikyuu, first character still means G.o.d, second character now means to bury. the first and second characters together mean something along the lines of “Divine Funeral”. The third character means “life”, while the fourth means “palace, shrine, or temple”.
In kat’s mind, since the former was Genesis Labyrinth, the latter should also be a two-word something. In that case, decided that the Life + Shrine would be Sanctuary, I thought of what “Divine Funeral” as a single word could be. Then, after browsing google around, I saw the phrase “The End of Genesis, the Beginning of Exodus”. Exodus means departure, though it’s more of the “emigration” departure, but departure could also mean “death”, right? Exodus it is then. Don’t really want to put Revelation Sanctuary there after all.)
Having activated the Anti-Vysis Magic Tool, I now focused my gaze down the corridor.
(It’s quiet…… Too quiet…… I couldn’t hear any sound around……)
After being summoned, I spent a long time in this Royal Capital.
Long enough for me to remember the layout of some buildings and streets.
I’d likely even find my way around without needing a map.
Everyone had received instruction from Touka to head for the castle.
(If I aim towards the castle, I should naturally meet up with someone……)
At that moment———
(A Sacrament……!)
A medium-sized Sacrament wielding a lance appeared from a side corridor.
Of course, that’s something I swiftly dealt with.
(I could hear footsteps from a certain distance…… but looking at it the other way, it means I won’t hear footsteps until they’re that close……)
In this situation……
Even if there are sounds of combat or screams from a distant area, there’s no way I could rush there to help.
Somehow———– That makes me feel helpless.
The feeling of solitude is stronger than I expected.
However, now isn’t the time to curl up in loneliness.
(Just as Mimori-kun had predicted, other than the Divine Servants, there are also Sacraments here……)
I start running again.
(I need to find someone among those incapable of combat and regroup with them quickly ————)
[…………, ———————Huh?]
[Eh?]
I’ve encountered her.
The other side, seemingly never expected to encounter me, was also wide-eyed, looking my way.
The encounter took place in a slightly wider s.p.a.ce just around the corner of a corridor.
(Why…… is she here———-)
Trying to push back her agitation, I gulped.
However, the confusion within my mind temporarily halted my thoughts.
Towards the back of the open s.p.a.ce———- at an area close to a wall.
Perhaps, she was trying to enter that corridor nearby.
Yes, standing in front of me, looking as if she had quickly turned around my way———-
[Vy…… sis……?]
———was Vysis.
[Of all the ones I’d meet————- The one I’d meet here is you huh.]
