Chapter 38: Awakening
Under the night sky of the crescent moon, Olari is filled with the light of countless magic stone lamps, and the thriving commercial district centered on the guild headquarters, the industrial area with the sound of iron bursting from iron blocks overlapping layers, and the entertainment area dominated by grand theaters and casinos are still thriving, and the crowd is constantly noisy.
In the southeast block, far from these streets, there is a faint mixture of laughter and gasps between the juxtaposed buildings, and the lights dimly reflect the silhouettes of the two intertwined on the windows or walls...... That's right, this street with an ambiguous atmosphere is the territory of the red light district where money can be turned into lust, that is, the beauty god Ishta.
There is a central street in the Red Light District, and male adventurers who want to satisfy their lust for gold from dungeon adventures only need to follow this street to meet the g-wives who are courteously soliciting customers, and then follow them into the alleys and go to the shops that may be a little far away to complete the transaction.
It sounds like a fairy jumping routine, but rest assured, Ishtar promotes "male and female love", and the act of extortion through "male and female love" is against its spirit, and similar incidents will never happen in the territory under her jurisdiction, which is probably the only good thing she does.
"Uh-huh...... Disgusting air, are these guys doing a good job of hygiene? After returning to the surface city, Lyle and Gulakias came to the skies above the neighborhood.
Of course, he didn't take the opportunity to do whatever he wanted because his sisters were following the Loki clan expedition, a maid control who developed the interdimensional maid summoning technique, and there was no need for piao.
He only responded to Gulakias's request and came to meet with Ista with prejudice, just like the previous meeting with Sumo, but not necessarily to act.
Because of the many transactions going on in the block below, Gulakiais's expression was extremely cold at the moment, except for her clothes, she had almost changed back to her original general of the Legion of Destruction: "Master, Ishtar is usually in this building. ”
"I hope she's not greeting guests~" Lyle sneered and flew slowly towards the tallest palace that Gulakias had pointed out.
The reason for the low motivation has been explained before, so I will not repeat it here.
- And yet.
"Hmm!" The moment Lyle sensed Ishtar's soul, everything changed drastically.
Its soul burns uncontrollably, manifesting itself as an overproduction of mana, and useless mana overflowing the surface.
“…… Master? Although he had led Lyle here, when Lyle did fall into a mutation, Gulakias was not happy at all, only worried.
"Okay, that's weird...... This is a legal act, Esta is at best a merchant with no conscience, and her trade has contributed to the misfortune of many more people, but she can't be blamed for the thieves and the nobles selling women, right? Lyle made a statement in Iztar's defense.
But at this moment, this well-founded justification was completely useless, and a certain emotion that overrode disgust, anger, and a sense of justice suddenly burst out in his chest.
It's called "Sense of Mission".
It was precisely because of the nature of this emotion that Lyle chose to give up resistance and let this emotion dominate him, and thus knew more.
"I don't think this matches what you call the [Path to Destruction], but—so be it." Lyle stretched out his right hand, gathered the magic power that had overflowed before, and fired the magic cannon towards the upper part of the palace.
A radiant figure flew out of the explosion, wearing headbands, earrings, chest ornaments, bracelets, and anklets, and wearing belts and loincloths that could only hide key positions, revealing the brown skin of seducing men without hesitation, and had the appearance of a country and a city, naturally the god of beauty-Ishta.
Due to the power sealed before, she failed to perceive the danger in advance, and only released her divine power to protect herself at the moment when the magic cannon was imminent, so she was quite embarrassed at the moment, but her appearance decided everything, and the embarrassed peerless beauty also had a different flavor.
"Are you...... Destroyer?! "Lyle's appearance is quite recognizable, and although he has never met him in person, Ishtar suddenly thinks of the oral reports of the believers, and a feeling called 'fear' grows in his heart.
The beauty god has a very high status in Olali, but in terms of actual combat ability, she is far inferior to Loki, and Loki was beaten by the Red Dragon God Knight not long ago, and she also attended that meeting.
"Fight with all your might, Ishta." The magic cannon just now was just a greeting, I really had the idea of sneak attack, Lyle has more powerful magic, and he has always been a man who is just facing it.
"Wait! Why are you attacking me? "Ishtar doesn't want to go to war with Lyle at all, and tries to get to the root of the problem.
She had been staying on her own turf all this time, and despite her jealousy of Freya, another goddess of beauty, she had not yet acted on it, and was unlikely to provoke the Imbus family.
If the believers below make a mistake, and Lyle can't find the person concerned and turn to her, the main god, then there is still room for things to turn around.
Unfortunately, Lyle's answer shattered his last hope of survival: "I don't know why, I just know to 'turn your soul into nothingness'." ”
"Huh......?" Istta's eyes widened, thinking he had run into a madman.
"However, there is a certain idea in my head that may be related to the 'cause', just for reference." Lyle's eyes flowed with the godo symbol, and he chanted in a distant voice, [The Green Dragon God did not decide a way out for the gods, and it is completely up to you to decide what kind of existence you want to become, but you choose to become the god of prostitutes who have fallen into the abyss of desire...... This is the nature of your soul, and even if you continue to reincarnate, you will only become a greater pest, hastening the destruction of the world in which you live. 】
"Y-What the hell are you talking about?" Sensing that her fate was coming, Estar used her best escape technique, blowing a seductive fuchsia mist and fleeing at the same time.
Just like the shadow clone technique in a ninja world, these clones are divided into the same power as the main body, and ordinary methods cannot distinguish them at all. But the divine power can be separated, but there is only one soul, and no one can escape by acrobatics in front of an opponent with soul perception ability.
Lyle, who teleported in front of Estar himself, attacked: [It seems to be my duty to destroy a pest like you. 】
》》》》》》
"It's okay, it seems to be still sane." Perhaps guessing something, Luna had returned to the surface a day earlier than Lyle, and was now at the top of the Tower of Babylon, looking southeast.
Accompanied by Loki, not the squinting mode of Loki: "I don't think the word 'sanity' is used to describe a guy who runs away to hunt down a god for no reason. ”
"For no reason...... Let's ask for the reason later. Luna chuckled, she didn't need to stop her brother, she was completely relaxed, "Loki, do you want to make a bet?" Bet on how many evil gods he'll kill tonight. ”
"I don't bet with you, I always feel that you won't admit it if you lose." Loki said in disgust.
Luna smacked her lips and said, "Tsk, I thought you would bet on Ishtar to die." ”
"Once the mechanism is activated, it can't be easily ended, I still know this, anyway, I'm not out of scope for investigation if I've already met with him." The death of the same clan or something, Loki actually didn't care much, before the gods decided to live with mortals, the number of gods who died because of her sowing discord was definitely more than the number of evil gods killed by Lyle tonight, "But, evil gods...... I didn't expect to be included in it, so I think I'm thankful for the children. ”
"There is no need to be thankful, it is you who treats believers as children." Luna stretched and jumped off the tower, "Women stay up late and get old fast, I'll go back to sleep first, don't bother me if it's okay." ”
