Chapter 229


Chapter 229 Strongest Sage, Pretends to be Ally


I circulate specific mana into the door once I received the girls" confirmation .


Our enemy this time is 『Soil Demons』 that posses high stamina and considerable agility .


While being careful not to let any slips out, I watch over the door opening .


" . . . Mu?"


Seeing the hidden room"s door opening, the demons got on their guard .


"This guy . . . Who?"


"Only Grevil is supposed to know this location . . . Does that mean, he"s a reinforcement sent by Grevil?"


"I see . I don"t think we"re in a situation that necessitates reinforcement though . . . Oy, you, what"s your business here?"


Looks like these demons believed that some guy called Grevil told me about this place .


--Grevil .


The 37th King of Aegis Kingdom had the same name if I remember correctly .


Aegis Kingdom was one of the countries that had connections with me .


And since it was also one of the countries involved in the Sixth Source"s construction, of course being a king, Grevil knew about this hidden room .


However . . . It"s really hard to believe that Grevil would conspire with demons to destroy humans .


Grevil was neither a tyrant nor a foolish ruler, rather he was a capable king .


He employed the right tactics to minimize casualties in the wars with demons, ruled his kingdom peacefully, and was very popular with the populace .


His only fault would be that he had no magic talent, none at all .


I guess it"s plausible for a king to get immortality magic cast on himself, the fact that he"s still alive isn"t really surprising . . . But he"s inherently someone who"s far removed from such violence like working together with demons to fight humans .


Well, the guy might be a different person with the same name, let"s think about that later .


No matter who the other party is, we"ve gotta to find the mastermind behind all this either way .


First thing first, I"ve got to beat these demons in front of me .


. . . That said, they"ve gone out of their way to talk to me and all .


I"ll take every info I can pull out of them .


"By Grevil"s order, I have come to relay a message from Reliaj . "


Reliaj was the chancellor of Aegis Kingdom when the past me was alive, a man who was practically Grevil"s right hand .


Since his name was unusual even at the time, if these demons reacted to it, that would mean this 『Grevil』 is the same king I knew .


It"s unusual for demons to work under human though .


And the demons respond by . . .


"What!? Can it be, has Reliaj been resurrected as well!?!?"



"Was it not only demons that got resurrected!"


Their reaction was quite unexpected .


For now, it"s clear that the demons know about Reliaj, but what do they mean by 『Resurrected』 .


Has someone managed to develop revival magic while I was reincarnating?


If that was true, the situation in this world wouldn"t have been like it is now though . . .


For now, I"ll just match their talk randomly .


"Yeah . Reliaj may be a human, however Grevil is quite fond of him . Grevil did everything he could to resurrect Reliaj . "


I observed the demons" reaction as I said that .


Depending on their response, I should find out more about revival magic .


Now then, and their response is . . .


" . . . Grevil resurrected him? What are you talking about?"


"Wasn"t a star falling from the sky the one that resurrected us?"


This is . . . truly unexpected .


『A star falling from the sky resurrected demons』 huh .


--The reason I sought strength to the point I reincarnated myself was s.p.a.ce monsters .


Indeed, it wouldn"t be strange for those beings to perform mere revival magic .


Even I haven"t got full grasp on the ability those s.p.a.ce monsters posses, as they are beings that are detached from fundamental principles .


There is no more fitting being that would work as an explanation for making impossible stuff like 『reviving the dead』 possible .


"Yeah . Grevil predicted where that star would fall on and put Reliaj"s body--"


I keep talking with the demons to fish out more information .


Suddenly--one of the 『Soil Demons』 shouts out loud .


"Kill him! He"s an enemy!"
