Chapter 493: Masters Current Situation

Fenrir began to explain the anomaly that was happening to me.

Originally, Cherubim was supposed to help Masters mind to adjust to the sword. Over time, Masters mind would adapt to the sword, and at that point, I would reveal myself and release your memories in stages, gradually uniting you with the sword

But, Cherubim is

Yeah. Of course, if she hadnt taken a stand at that time, Master and I would have disappeared. I am grateful to her. But now that I no longer have Cherubims support, my plans are beginning to fall apart

And that wasnt the only thing that had gone wrong with the plan.

You grew at a faster rate than expected. In addition with extraordinary series of fierce battles, a large number of skills were acquired as a result. You also burdening the system by the use of potential release, outbursts of mad demonization, and absorption of the Fanatics

Fenrir counted on his fingers. Its been a pretty intense few months if he tells me that. But does that mean it was bad?

After using potential release, Announcer-san lost his power and also caused a major distortion in the entire system. In the Mad Demonization, the evil part of Fenrir went out of control. And when I ate the Fanatics, the internal system was further overloaded, causing a breakdown not only in my memories but also in the seal of the Evil G.o.d.

Its proof that Master and Fran have been fighting hard. I wouldnt say thats a bad thing. But Im sure it was more of a rush than the G.o.ds had imagined

It seems that the G.o.ds, who have a different sense of time than humans, were not very accurate in their estimates. Well, maybe were living a little too active too.

Even the G.o.ds didnt think that the seal of Evil G.o.ds was perfect no matter what. That was why they had left the residue of Cherubim - in other words, Announcer-san. They said that even if there were some tears in the seal, Announcer-san was supposed to be able to repair it.

However, Announcer-san has lost his power, and so his recovery has been greatly reduced. Theres also the series of events that shook the seal in a short period of time followed, causing the seal to become looser.

But, Alistair had refurbished Master

Yeah, Im sure that had brought it back up quite a bit. However, even a divine cla.s.s blacksmith wont be able to have a perfect understanding of the system that the G.o.ds built. It was just a first aid

So, this time will be different?

Even I dont know much about it either

The pedestal that Im currently stuck on. This is also a pedestal made by the G.o.ds, and it is said to have various functions that even Fenrir does not know about.

Anyway, Master has not fully adapted to the sword, but his power is much greater than what was expected. If we leave you like this, the memory seal might break and will affect Masters soul. In fact, it will definitely make Masters mind go crazy. Not only that, Master, youve heard that voice, right?

Voices? Ah, you mean that one? The one who says Devour everything?

It was bothering me in my mind during that battle, so I yelled at it and before I knew it, it was gone.

Thats right. You know what it is now, dont you?

the Evil G.o.ds huh

Exactly. Or, more accurately, a piece of the Evil G.o.ds soul fused with my soul. But stillkukukuh

Whats the matter?

No, its just that I remembered how that piece of the Evil G.o.d was yelled at by master, and how it kept quiet after that kukukuh. It couldnt believe that there was a being that didnt accept its control. So it pulled back in surprise

Oh, I see. Its not that it was overwhelmed by my soul, its just that it was surprised that it couldnt dominate me.

Only a small amount of the Evil G.o.ds consciousness is still leaking out, but we cant leave it like that. We need to reinforce the seal and repair the entire system. Thats why I asked you to come to this place

Then, Master can be healed?

Of course. I mean, Ill be in trouble, if we dont fix him. Its because I was also a part of him

I understand that. So, what am I supposed to do now?

You dont have to do anything

Not doing anythingare you telling me not to move?

Thats right. I heard that the pedestal will do the rest of the work automatically. I dont know much about it, but Masters job is just to stay still. Im sure that the formulas built into the pedestal have already started a.n.a.lyzing you now

Formulas?

So, does that mean Im stuck here for a while? Im a little scared It reminds me of the intense, mind-numbing pain I felt when Alistair repaired me. Im not going to go through that again, right?

How long do I have to wait?

Well, I dont know. Will it be an hour, a day, or a week?

Oioi, isnt that really long?

Think about how complicated and sophisticated the system inside you is? It could take you a month or more you know?

Seriously. So, what about Fran? If I leave her, shell lose her skill-sharing

Even if Urus.h.i.+ was there with her, it would be too risky to go back to Alessa through the Plains of the Demon Wolf alone.

Ill wait here

Well, it cant be helped huhSorry, its because of me

No problem. Besides, it will be a good training period

But, Im not coming with you, right?

Gonna train to fight without relying on Master. Urus.h.i.+ is also with me

Woof!

I see, youre right

If she can use her skills, Frans strength wont drop that much. As long as she doesnt go to the outer perimeter, she should be fine.

Based on Fenrirs explanation, it seems that the magic beasts dont like going near the pedestal.

Then, should I train with Fran and Urus.h.i.+ too?

Fenrir will?

Yeah. Now, Im out thanks to the pedestal, but once the restoration is complete, I will sleep inside Masters again. Its the only time Ill be able to train you

Fran, why dont you ask him to?

Im also wondering what kind of training Fenrir will give to Fran. Especially to Urus.h.i.+.

Thanks to Fenrir, now I know why I was able to summon the wolf-shaped magic beast. Thats also what Urus.h.i.+s t.i.tle, Kin of the Divine Wolf, means. As a wolf-type magic beast, I think this will be good training for Urus.h.i.+.

Understood. Ill be in your care

Woof!

Yosh Yos.h.!.+ Well then, lets give you a little lecture
