72 – The Transcendents (3)
Transcendents (3)
Irina threatened Rapha again by raising the light of divine magic above her palm.
However, Rapha passed by her as if nothing had happened and sat down on the chair in front of the table.
“Hey, don’t be so angry. You didn’t come here to fight, did you?”
I’m surprised Irina didn’t get psychically attacked, but if she had come to attack, she wouldn’t have come alone.
As powerful as Rapha’s ability is, it can be easily dispelled once it is recognized.
There’s no way Irina, whose specialty is brainwashing, wouldn’t know that.
That is why Ra Pa could come to that conclusion after seeing Irina, who came alone. Her purpose is not to stop Ra Pa. In the first place, her coming here was done quite secretly, so there is no way she would know.
So what is it?
Why did Irina come here?
The preconditions were wrong.
‘You came to meet the ascetic Kapilavastu from the beginning.’
You’re such a slutty b*tch.
Rapha looked at Irina with sullen eyes, not hiding his thoughts. Just that made Irina blush as if she had been stung, and she slowly averted her eyes.
“What did the saint intend to do by coming here secretly when no one knew?”
“… … I just came to check on Mr. Jim.”
“You didn’t come here to attack me?”
“Ha! I guess you’re a lizard, so you only have primal instincts.”
“what?”
Rapha was embarrassed.
It was true that Irina had come alone and in a gloomy mood, but it felt a little different from what she had expected.
She clearly thought that Saint Irina had come to seduce Jim.
I thought so even more so in the late hours of the night.
‘Then what are you here for?’
It’s certain that the luggage has been found.
Saying that you were worried is clearly an excuse. But what on earth is the situation when you say that you have no intention of seducing her?
Have you come here to assassinate me?
That couldn’t be true. I could see the affection in Irina’s eyes that couldn’t be hidden.
Doesn’t it mean that there’s something that hurts just because you avoided eye contact earlier?
“This is strange… … . What on earth is this?”
“It’s none of your business.”
Raphael never imagined that his colleagues would run away and steal another colleague’s belongings while his own were still intact.
The selfishness of humans that even she, who is called the Heavenly Horse, could not guess.
“Well, I guess it doesn’t matter. Since I’ve already been caught, I have no intention of making any more fuss and I’ll just step aside. Unfortunately, I don’t have the taste to show it off to others.”
“Wh, what are you talking about… … .”
“Oh my, I guess you imagined it. It was just as lewd as I expected.”
“… … .”
Irina just glared at Rapha while gritting her teeth.
Rapha felt a sense of creepiness at Irina’s calm demeanor despite being provoked.
“Anyway, wouldn’t it be better for you to just go today? Oh, or maybe you don’t like that kind of thing… .”
“I’m going! Don’t bother telling me or Jim.”
“Yeah, yeah. I don’t plan on having fun with that charcoal guy either.”
Rapha left Irina alone and left the room first.
“Tsk… … .”
Of course, he didn’t forget to monitor what Irina was going to do right after she left the room. Rapha, who had been trying to keep a low profile while looking through the door, was only then able to figure out Irina’s purpose.
‘That’s… … .’
Irina originally tried to run away with her luggage, but now that she’s been caught, she has no intention of going ahead with her plan.
She immediately changed the order of the plan and began the experiment.
Yes, Irina started sprinkling holy water on Jim.
It’s not a metaphor for something, it’s real holy water being sprinkled.
Smoke rises with a hissing sound over Jim’s skin.
For Jim, who had become a half-blood demon, this was no different from torture.
‘Your taste? It’s hard… … .’
Rapha nodded at Irina’s appearance, which showed her qualities as a queen.
As expected, those who pretend to be innocent are the most lewd.
“… … Number 43 failed again. This time, the power was too strong. Was the problem that I focused on the purification ability?”
‘Number 43? Then… … .’
This means that he repeated this more than 42 times. Rapha felt a chill and decided to carefully back away.
Maybe it’s harder than she thinks.
The misunderstandings just kept piling up. Rapha had no intention of resolving them.
Her affection for Irina just grew secretly.
‘It’s a trouble.’
Rapha had already decided to give up the idea of having fun corrupting Irina, since she seemed like she didn’t need to be touched.
What’s the point of trying to corrupt someone who’s already corrupt?
Humans are truly vile.
“huh?”
After seeing Irina’s downfall, Rapha returned to his room satisfied and was able to find a guest.
This was also unexpected.
The saintess who went to pack her luggage in the middle of the night could not have imagined that someone would come looking for her.
“you…….”
Red eyes that resemble blood that glow in the dark.
This is Millia Asrin, the wizard of the warrior party.
Rapha blinked at the gaze that seemed to show no emotion at first glance, and was at a loss for words.
This is already the second time. The person who should have fallen asleep from exhaustion is awake.
Yes, there was another being that escaped her psychic attack.
‘What on earth is going on here?’
But this time, things were different.
Saint Irina knew that she had the powers of incitement and brainwashing. It was because her powers were greater than she had imagined that Irina escaped the psychic attack.
Yeah, I can understand.
Isn’t that quite possible?
However, the girl in front of me was different. She probably didn’t have any special immunity to mental attacks.
“I’ve heard that dragons are the masters of magic. They use magic as if they were breathing.”
“Uh… …? Uh, it’s a little different, but it’s not that different from your standards.”
La Pa didn’t even care that she had barged into the room without permission and answered Millia’s bold question without thinking.
“How did you get here anyway?”
“… … ? I came here to ask you about the strange magic you used earlier.”
“Your eyes are pretty good… … .”
Rapha nodded at Milia, who said that she ‘saw’ him moving mana for brainwashing.
If you know you did something unrelated to brainwashing, there’s nothing you can do.
As I said before, her brainwashing is strong, but it can be easily dispelled if you feel uncomfortable.
‘No, then isn’t that the same as saying you knew from the beginning? Why didn’t you say anything and just stayed quiet?’
Now that I think about it, Irina was like that too. Of course, Irina seemed to have been trying to do something secretly… … .
‘Is this kid also having some sinister thoughts?’
La Pa could not think about Milia’s sociality.
‘Well, now that I know the reason, I guess I don’t have to be so wary?’
The dragons use magic as if they are breathing. That statement was half correct.
What she calls a dragon. That is, the dragon race can use magic as if they were breathing. However, there is a limit to the magic they can use as if they were breathing.
The point is that it is limited to the attributes of the corresponding dragon tribe.
For example, Agni, the ancient dragon who was recently killed by Five, the commander of the Demon King’s 5th Army, was able to use all fire-attribute magic, but had virtually no aptitude for other types of magic.
Even the common basic magic, Magic Missile, could not be used.
He was born with the energy of fire, so he can control fire. That’s all.
‘It wouldn’t matter to me, but… … there’s no need to teach these kids that much.’
La Pa’s stance is one.
The mutual destruction of the warrior party, the celestial god, and the demon king Belphegor.
No, it doesn’t have to be mutual destruction.
For now, it is enough to just keep a check on the Demon King Belphegor, who has acquired powers beyond the norm.
It’s good if they knock it down, and it’s even better if they destroy it together. That’s the extent of the perception.
That’s why Rapha was thinking of supporting the warrior party.
It doesn’t matter that she was once a demon lord and a true goddess.
The important thing is that there is someone other than Kapila’s ascetic who can immediately take her life.
What’s more, it’s difficult because you have no qualms about killing.
“Well, I know how to use some magic… … I guess that’s about it?”
Rapha answered appropriately.
Then, as if she had gotten the answer she wanted, Milia’s eyes lit up and she began to ask serious questions.
“Do you know how to do a spell that takes the soul out of the body and places it in a doll?”
“uh……?”
“Do you know how to permanently implant a mind into a homunculus?”
“Oh, no? I don’t know.”
“Okay then.”
Milia nodded to Rapha’s answer and left the room.
It was bold to come here, but the way he leaves is even bolder.
“From the flesh to the soul… …?”
Creepy!
La Pa couldn’t shake the feeling that he had come into contact with Milia’s gentle madness.
I couldn’t figure out why she asked that, but somehow I had a feeling it would lead to a conclusion beyond what she expected.
Fear of the unknown.
How long has it been since I felt that from a human?
Rapha recalled the fear he had felt when he met the ascetic of Kapilavastu in the past, who had overcome all kinds of oppression and shackles without yielding.
smart!
It was when Rapha was carelessly rubbing his shoulder.
Rapha was startled by the sudden knock and narrowed his eyes.
Even though it was an opponent that I could kill in less than a minute if I wanted to, I felt a considerable amount of pressure.
“Who, who?”
“Uh… … It’s me. Lapa. I need to consult with you briefly.”
“Oh, it’s our daughter. Come in.”
Rapha relaxed at the familiar, polite tone of speech that seemed awkward.
She is her adopted daughter.
Well, she’s an adopted daughter who was meant to provoke Jim, but she’s still cute.
A girl whose amazingly focused karma manifests itself in the form of a feeling.
The fact that the girl is such a fool that she knows how to hit everything but doesn’t know what’s important makes her smile.
“What kind of consultation is this?”
“… …Do you know how to make your breasts bigger?”
“This is truly an unimaginable consultation.”
Rapha couldn’t help but be shocked by the question Tina asked him after realizing her true identity.
When he asked the question about how to return his own body, he was serious, but when he shook off that tension and seriousness, that was the first question he asked his transcendent self… … .
‘Ascetic of Kapilavastu… … . You are still beyond my imagination.’
What did you do to the kids?
Rapha felt the strange s*xual desires of the warrior party she had seen today flash through her mind.
‘A party of warriors… … Is it okay?’
And when we reached that conclusion, what came to mind was the existence of a warrior who had to lead these groups.
‘Should I be helping out more seriously rather than just watching this?’
Rapha, who had been thinking long and hard, had no choice but to acknowledge the fatal problems scattered throughout the warrior party.

While each person’s conspiracy is swirling.
At that moment Esmeralda… … .
“Hmm. Hehe.”
I was fast asleep, unaware of the plot that had unfolded among the warrior party members during the night.
“Hehe, that’s right. I’m a warrior… … . Hehe… … . Hmm… … .”
She looked so happy, hugging the blanket and sleeping soundly.
