　Nadja approaches with black magic power emanating from her entire body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even though they were a good distance away from us, they were quickly closing in on us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In an instant, they close the distance and close in on us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Over here! I'm on him, Nadja!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nadja's attack, which seemed to hit her with her entire body, she avoided in the nick of time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then I moved to my place, calling out to Nadja.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My brother Bite, who had just recovered from his wounds, and the deputy commander of the mercenary group were by my side.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I drew Nadja's attention to me so that she would not be distracted.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I moved with a fast sidestep and Nadja followed my every move.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As I watched her movement, I activated the magical tool on my arm.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The bracelet of sealing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A magical tool I had brought back from the labyrinthine streets of Percival's house.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When used, it has the effect of preventing the surrounding magic from being activated.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I put magic power into it and decided to remove the [barrier against magic] that Naja uses.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If we can break through the barrier, we should be able to cut it off.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This was the only idea I could come up with while Naja was approaching.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, no. Purification."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it was not a good choice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The moment I put magic power into the sealing bracelet and activated my ability, the effect was felt in my body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My body now contains the power of purification.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is a magic that prevents me from being affected by the impure magic of the immortals.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The effect of purification was lost when I used the sealing bracelet.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I've never heard of such a thing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Does it have the power to cancel the effects of magic that has already been used?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There was a possibility that Naja's magic might affect us because of the loss of the purification protection, though only for a short time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was only a hair's breadth or so, but I had a bad feeling of dread the moment the effect of [Purification] was gone, so I immediately stopped using the sealing bracelet and applied [Purification] again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Purification, purification, purification."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And things are still bad.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nadja comes within arm's reach and sticks her fist out at me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Or rather, she makes many attempts to touch me with her hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's like a schoolboy trying to get his dirty hands on me, but it can be a deadly attack.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　All I can do is to concentrate all my energy and keep avoiding it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And yet, perhaps because I am too close, Naja's magic is trying to consume my body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If I don't protect myself by constantly reapplying [Purification], my body may be affected like my brother Byte's.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But this only buys me a little time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have to do something.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At the very least, we have to do something that will work against Naja.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I am not so sure about slashing her with the holy sword or the sky-destroying sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No matter how powerful the weapon is, it will not be able to do any real damage if it crumbles to pieces just by touching it due to its impure magical power.

Summoning ice spirit

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So, I decided to take another attack method that came to mind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I use the magic that contains Dogma Dorren, the real King of the Immortals, who is different from Nadja.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Countless ice spirits summoned by the summoning of ice spirits.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nadja is sealed in the spirit of the blue ball of light, too numerous to count.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The ice seal of absolute zero that once sealed the first king.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They were about to deliver it to Nadja.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hey, don't run away, ice nymphs! Go on."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But what a surprise!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The ice nymphs who sealed the King of the Immortals saw Naja's impure magic and ran away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Is that the kind of thing that makes spirits run away, too?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Could it be that the spirits are also affected by the stain?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The ice nymphs I summoned are usually floating in the air, but now they have fled in a whiz.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No good.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I've been thinking about it... When I sealed the Immortal King, he wasn't covered with the unholy magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The temple in the Divine Realm is the most undefiled place in the world, and even the Immortal King would not have been able to spread his defilement in there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That is why he could talk to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But now Naja is alive and well on earth, spreading her filth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Is it that the situation is too different from that time?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Sanctuary. So now you're going to run away?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, why don't we try to recreate the same situation as in the god world?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's what I thought, and I cast the [Sanctuary] spell.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The spell worked beautifully, filling the surrounding area with a soft light and purifying the place.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The ice nymphs must be able to do their job in this environment.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought so, but this time Nadja immediately left the place.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Perhaps she understood our intentions?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That there might be danger in this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But then, I thought, that would buy us some time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Naja's black magic is suppressed inside the sanctuary.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If she doesn't like it and doesn't come in, I thought it would buy us some time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Flame Siege!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But that is not so.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nadja came out of the range of the sanctuary and attacked with magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This guy is really a nuisance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I guess this is some kind of magic he got from some nobleman.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It may not be as powerful as Uruk's [Black Flame], but it is still a very hot and wide-range fire magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I move away from the magic in a hurry.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That meant that I was out of the sanctuary.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'll kill you, Koros!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And Nadja has been muttering "I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have heard that when a creature becomes immortal, it becomes obsessed with the living.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know if they envy the living or hate them or what, but they attack them when they see them alive.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But maybe it is because the immortal is not conscious.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Archbishop Paul also said that if immortals were conscious, maybe they would still have some attachment to the things they were attached to while they were alive.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If Dogma Dorren was the king of immortals, it might have been Aisha, the one he loved.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That may be why he went to the temple after the destruction of the Holy City and the breaking of the seal, when he was brought to the Divine Realm by Naja.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because he knew that Aisha was there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If so, I thought that Naja might be obsessed with killing people.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The way she uses her magic to adapt to the situation, she must not have lost her ability to think.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And yet, she keeps muttering "kill" like a broken radio.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What kind of life does he have to lead to be so willing to kill people?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought about Nadja's life for a few moments.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But we don't have that much time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have been trying to purify her life over and over again, but it may not be able to keep up with my efforts.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With this in mind, I decided to entrust my fate to an attack that might be my last resort.
