It seems that the magicians below are sucking up the magic power from the people they have collected and supplying it to the magicians above.
　The people who are being sucked up by this magic are in danger of losing their lives due to the depletion of their magical power.
　So I decided to move to destroy the magic circle on the ground first.

''First we will destroy the magic circle below. Can Master and Lionel explore it to see if there are any evil gods or demons?
'I've been probing all along, but I haven't even grazed on that creeping sensation. Is the Evil One really in this place?
'Indeed. I don't even have that sticky feeling of the demon race at all. I even feel as if I've been lured into it.
　Hearing their words, disgusting words come to mind.
　Still, I decided to help the residents in front of me first.

''I understand. Please continue to explore.''
　If there were no evil gods and demons, then that magic circle would definitely be of the installed type.
　Maybe it's the same type of magic circle as the one in Nerdal.
　I'm not going to be able to get my hands on any of them.　
　

The only thing I can think of to say is, "Luciel, that magic circle will probably suck up any magic power. So it might be difficult to destroy it with magic.
'Yes. So I'll use this.
　I took out a single dagger from my magic bag and put my magic power into it before throwing it on the line where the magic circle was drawn.
　By the time the dagger reached the ground, two bands of blue-white, shining patterns emerged and pierced the magic circle in a figure eight pattern.
　In the next moment, a small but sacred realm ward was activated.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this as well.

　The people lying here were really just sacrifices........
　But why didn't the Evil God let the inhabitants turn into demons and then absorb the magic power?　That was the only thing that stuck.
　Then Master and Lionel slowly dropped down.

''Hey, Luciel. Don't just shift one person all of a sudden. I didn't feel alive.''
''Haha, I'm sorry. But a fall from a height like that wouldn't hurt Master, would it?
'That's not the point ... so what are these residents going to do?'
　Maybe you'll still suffer after waking up from the magic depletion, but there's no harm in your life........
　The problem is the brainwashing and the miasma flooding the city........

''If it was as we had discussed beforehand, we were planning to transfer them to the training grounds of the St. Schuler Church headquarters, but as expected, there are too many of them.......the residents are just gathering, so let's set up the magic tools of the warding here.
'That's fine, but then we could cleanse the whole city, couldn't we?
What about the brainwashing?　I think it would be safer for you to stay here, but...
　'Even if we get rid of the miasma, it's still safer to stay here.

The miasma is a very important part of the miasma. I'm not going to be able to get rid of the miasma for the time being because I'm depleted of magic.
'Yes. Then may I ask you to set up a ward?
Yeah.
　When the conversation had come to a conclusion, Lionel raised his voice.

''The magic circle in the sky hasn't stopped its trajectory yet... no, it's gradually increasing the speed at which it's forming.
　Are you saying that this magic circle had nothing to do with it?　I'm sure that the magic power is supplied from this magic circle to the magic circle above.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world.

You're going to be able to have a lot of fun with it.　I don't see it at all, and I don't know how the magic flows.
'Luciel, instead of worrying about it, act first. The warrior demons will continue to monitor the magic circle above us.
Yes.
　It was good until I replied and took flight.

　The miasma is a miasma that has been spreading throughout the city.
　The miasma is a miasma that has been spreading from the ground, so it will soon be restored to normal.
It's a good idea to have the entire town purged of the miasma, as well as the magic circle in the sky.　

　I moved into the sky above the capital city where I can see the whole area of the capital city, and while flying a number of fine water balls into the sky, I hit the same number of fireballs to evaporate them.
　Then the clouds that were originally in the sky grew larger and larger, and raindrops began to fall.
　Then, when he activated the sanctuary ward of the sphere around him, he repeatedly activated the cleansing wave toward the ground and sky.　
　Eventually, the color of the clouds, which were black and purple, changed to the color of a blue-white cloud.
''This is so creepy.''
　While muttering about that, he used the space-time attribute magic spatial expansion on the blue-white clouds to expand the range of rainfall.
　Then before I knew it, the miasma was no longer flooding the ground.
　I'm not sure if I need to invoke the purification wave at the end of the day to prevent the sleeping people from catching cold.......
　That was when I thought that.
　A voice echoed in my brain.

''Luciel-sama, can you hear me?''
　The voice was Cressia.
What's the matter, is there a demon invasion?
The only thing I can think of is that a huge, red-black magic circle has appeared in the south-southwest direction from Yenis. Should we hurry to check it out?
'No, I don't know what's going to happen to Yenis either, so I want you to stay on the defensive. I want you to call me if anything else happens.
"Yes.
　

''Luciel-sama, a huge magic circle has appeared near the Empire.''
　The voice was Dolan.
'Dolan, how's the airship doing?'
''No problem. However, since the miasma is flooding from the vicinity of the Dark Continent, I'll be releasing a main cannon filled with holy magic in a little while.
All right. Don't take any chances.
'Humph. That's something I wish I could say to Nanya and Lyna, who are trembling next to me.
　After I finished making the magic tools I requested, the Technology Development Department was divided into several divisions.
　And Nanya and Lyna became the pilot of the amphibian ... an apprentice.
''........I asked them to include the two of them.
"Huh, well, I'll report back when the fighting starts.
Okay.
　That's where the contact ended, but the contact continued.

'Luciel-dono, can you hear me?　This is Wisdom.
'Oh, Lord Wisdom, has there been any movement?'
''Yes. A huge magic circle has appeared in the south and west from our country. The south is where the labyrinth of intrigue you all were in is located. And to the west is where we fought in a previous war with the Empire.
''Thank you very much. If you need anything, you can count on Kefin and the others.
''Yes, sir. I'll take you up on your offer.
　Lately, Kefin and Keti seem to be booming on seafood, and when they finish their training, they often stay in the Rubruk Kingdom instead of Yenis.
　But I guess those two have thought about it in their own way and are looking to diversify their forces.
　It's really mind-blowing.
　Then a voice echoes in my brain again.

''Luciel, a magic circle has appeared outside Rockford. Can I destroy that thing?''
　As expected, Paula's report is blown up.
''It's probably a summoning magic circle where demons and demons appear, but wait a little longer for the vandalism. It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what to expect. Besides, the same magic circle is appearing in various places, so just wait until there is a change.
Okay.
I'll let you know if I need anything else.
"Luciel, just get it over with.
I'll do my best.
　And then the telepathic communication stopped.

　But here a strong sense of discomfort remains in me.
　The reason why I was talking about it until now is because that's where each labyrinth was located.
　I'm sure there's a labyrinth with a light dragon underneath the magic circle in the sky.
　If that is the case, there is only one place in the labyrinth created by the evil gods that has not been reported.

　I touched the bracelet with the magic ball attached to it and decided to contact Lumina-san, the guardian of the Holy City.
　However, there was no reply from Lumina-san, and furthermore, there was no response from Pope and Galba-san when I tried to contact them as well.
　So I sent a telepathic message to the spirit queen who first instructed me to head to Brange.
　But again, I couldn't get in touch with her and decided to try contacting Lydia.
'Lydia, can you hear me?'
"Master Luciel?　What's going on on the ground now?'
　At some panicked voice, I could tell that something was going on in Nerdal as well.

'On the ground, a huge magic circle that emits a red-black light has just appeared above the labyrinth where the reincarnated dragons were sealed up. What's going on over there?
''Yes. The Spirit Queen and the other spirits are beginning to supply magic power to the World Tree, and we can't even speak to each other anymore.''
'Well then I want you and Nadia to defend Nerdal to the death.
And if there's anything we can do to help, we'll be in touch.
Yeah, okay.
　The rain stopped just as the telepathic conversation was about to end, and it was clearing up.
　So I decided to make a decision.
