The Evil God Beyond the Smartphone

＜ 43 : precursor (1) ＞

Quite a while has passed since I pulled Estasia.

In the meantime, Kueberg was faithfully earning karma, and the number of followers of Estasia greatly increased.

Of course, I also needed someone to lead the followers, so I had Utenia appoint a new bishop.

The denomination that started with only a few people is now expanding into a large scale.

With the speed of supply and demand of karma that has changed significantly from before, I was only now realizing that the game was on track.

“This is a real idle game.”

Even if you do nothing, you accumulate enormous karma every day.

As the level went up, the karma requirement went up, but even including that, it was a phenomenal speed.

At this pace, it seemed that I could reach the next level sooner or later.

Perhaps the next apostle could also be created soon.

Satisfied with the message that filled the screen, I bit the chicken burger in my hand.

“This is real food.”

Chicken and Burgers.

Come to think of it, it’s rare to find a combination as good as this one.

Both are delicious to eat separately, but isn’t it great to eat together?

While I was looking at my smartphone while eating the chicken burger I bought on the way home from work, I heard the sound of an advertisement playing on the TV.

– “Three-tier combined super dinosaur robot! Defeat the evil enemy with powerful power!”

I looked at the TV screen reflexively at the narration in my ears.

As soon as I got home, I turned on the TV and saw advertisements for children’s toys.

It was a product that three dinosaurs unite to become a giant robot.

When I saw the combined appearance, I also felt that it was pretty cool.

When I was a kid, I really wanted toys like that.

While I was looking at the appearance of the dinosaur behind the robot, the image of a huge dragon suddenly flashed through my head.

“Ah. I need to pick a dragon.”

The dragon creature I failed to draw last time was still in my mind.

To me, a dragon was a guy that could be called a romance in its own way.

It doesn’t have to be a triad like the robot on TV, so I wanted to have at least one dragon.

As I felt sorry for the dragon, the ＜Creature Maker＞ skill under the smartphone continued to catch my eye.

“Shall we make another one?”

The magic that had been sealed with the penalty of ＜Creature Maker＞ had already returned.

Once again, it was possible to use the ＜Creature Maker＞ skill.

For a while, I alternately looked at the skill icon on my smartphone and the 3-unit super dinosaur robot.

And after much deliberation, I decided to use the skill.

“Please let’s go to the dragon.”

If you have made up your mind, there is no reason to hesitate any longer.

Kwok.

I moved my finger to touch the skill icon of ＜Creature Maker＞.

At the same time as activating the skill by pressing the icon, an option to create a creature appeared on the screen of the smartphone.

– I used ＜Creature Maker＞.

– Please specify the magic power to be consumed.

The first thing that came to mind was the screen to set the magic power as before.

I don’t know how magic affects the creatures, but the more the better, the better.

I set the slide bar to set the horsepower to 85%.

It was a level of magic that could be played at a minimum without consuming all of its magic.

After setting the magical power, a window for setting the aggression came to mind.

– Please specify the creature’s aggression.

When I spawned the Kueberg, the aggressiveness setting was 10.

And Kueberg is currently on the move, destroying everything in sight.

In the case of Estasia, the aggression was set to 1.

As a result, Estasia did not appear to attack anyone.

Looking at these two cases, the aggression that was too biased to one side was highly likely to invite a strange person.

“Aggression should be set to a moderate level of 4.”

For that reason, I set the new creature’s aggression to 4.

Of course, this was also true of the appearance settings that appeared immediately after.

Considering the appearance of Estasia and Kueberg, they had to find a compromise somewhere between the two.

– Please specify the appearance of the creature.

– The closer to 1, the more ferocious.

– The closer you get to 10, the more gentle you are.

In light of the past experience, the appearance of the creature was also set to 4.

I thought that this would make a decent creature with a decent appearance.

– Please specify the size of the creature.

– The closer you get to 10, the bigger the figure.

The item to set after the appearance was the size.

A Kueberg of such a huge size.

And Estasia, which is about the size of a human.

When looking at the two creatures located at the extreme ends, it seemed reasonable to consider the size of a person as 1.

How big should the creature be so that you can pick the creature you want?

While looking at the settings window, I decided to set the size of the creature to 5.

“Please come out as a good guy.”

Now all that was left was to watch which one pops out.

After all the settings, I clicked the OK button to use the ＜Creature Maker＞ skill.

Kwok.

When I moved my finger to designate the target, the screen of the smartphone was wrapped in the light and a message appeared in an instant.

– Created [Shadow Beast: Alpha].

– Due to the penalty of ＜Creature Maker＞, the mana consumed for 24 hours cannot be recovered.

– [Shadow Beast: Alpha] fears you.

– ＜Karma’s Balance＞ replaces the activity of [Shadow Magic Beast: Alpha] with your causal ratio.

A creature made by paying 85% of its magic power as a cost appeared.

The name of the new creature is [Shadow Beast: Alpha].

And the new appearance of this guy was the dragon I had been waiting for so much.

black scales. Vertically split golden eyes.

Even the horns on his head and the wings on his back.

In almost every part, it was the dragon itself that I had ideally drawn.

“I hope this is, Dragon——.”

Except for the fact that it’s a baby dragon that looks smaller than the Estasia.

As I checked the size of the dragon, my voice stopped.

The size of the newly appeared dragon was strange.

I blinked and looked at the screen again.

“——It’s the same, but why is it the same size?”

I couldn’t help but question the appearance of Alpha in the vacant lot.

Obviously, the size of the creature must have been set to 5, but the visible alpha size did not seem to be even 0.5.

As such, the size of the alpha was very small.

The dignity of a dragon could not be found at all.

Guilford Plow.

The commander of the Guilford mercenary corps and chosen as the hero of abundance, he was on his way to the western part of the empire with his companions.

The mark of fertility that appeared on Guilford’s arm had long since been concealed by wearing the gauntlet.

It was because he didn’t want to be bothered by the marking of the temple officials.

Guilford’s newly acquired weapon, Ascalon, also did not shine except when used.

As such, there was no difference from the previous one except the fact that Guilford’s sword had become two.

“Chief. Are we really okay like this?”

While Guilford was leading the mercenary group, Jenny, the only wizard in the mercenary group, asked Guilford.

Now, there was only one story that Jenny had to worry about.

It was a story about the sign that appeared on Guilford’s arm and the Temple of Abundance.

Guilford had previously said that he would not go to the temple, but he still seemed concerned about the movement of the temple.

Guilford patted Jenny on the shoulder and said to her.

“Don’t worry. The stronger we are, the better the world will be.”

“The manager always tells you to be safe, but…”

“And I don’t like to belong to complicated places like temples. If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t have recruited a mercenary team like this.”

“……”

“Isn’t this the same for you?”

When Guilford looked around the members of the mercenary corps and asked, the mercenaries all seemed to agree.

Among them, Garp, the deputy commander of the mercenary corps, reacted the most violently.

Garp spoke in an exhilarating voice so as to resonate around him.

Guilford and Jenny’s ears to hear Garp’s story complained of pain.

“That’s a matter of course! Where are the mercenaries who like complicated things?”

“That’s right, right. It’s better to spend a little more in moderation and bring more money.”

“Among the mercenaries here in the first place, most of them can’t even read! What’s the difference between being a leader?”

“…I know how to read.”

“And if the manager has a problem, we’ll take care of it, so don’t worry! Of course, as long as you give him money!”

“Anyway, I’m really worried that our wizard might not be a smart person.”

The harsh laughter of the mercenaries resounded around them.

Jenny’s face flushed red when she saw the mercenaries smiling at her.

Jenny was holding her wand tightly and trembling.

tuk. tuk.

Guilford’s hand tapped Jenny’s shoulder once more.

“Besides, our team has so many talented wizards, don’t we?”

“leader…….”

“It’s rare to see a mercenary group with a wizard. Especially if it’s such a talented wizard.”

“Even if I get compliments like that… I don’t want to give anything more…”

“So, don’t worry, let’s be together until the end. Because I have no intention of breaking up with good colleagues.”

Guilford declared calmly and withdrew his hand.

The moment Guilford, who had revealed his will like that, continued to move forward.

Ascalon, which Guilford was wearing around his waist, began to emit a bright light.

All the mercenaries’ attention turned to Guilford at the appearance of Ascalon, which began to shine.

With the bright brilliance surrounding Ascalon, Guilford spoke to Ascalon.

“Ascalon?”

– “I don’t want to disturb the good mood, but it seems that something annoying has happened.”

“It’s annoying, what are you talking about?”

– “A little far from here, the family of evil spirits appeared.”

the domain of evil spirits.

Guilford’s face hardened at the story Ascalon had brought up.

The story of the appearance of an evil spirit had been heard by Ascalon and understood.

However, he did not think that he would hear the story of the clan in this way.

“What kind of family appeared?”

– “The heavenly cherub fell towards the ground. It seems likely that it is a fallen angel.”

“The Fallen Angel…”

– “It seems that the cherubs that appeared on the ground are affecting the balance in some way.

A fallen angel who fell from heaven.

If he belonged to an evil spirit, he would surely attract people with his evil tricks.

The image of the fallen angel with its black wings spread across Guilford’s mind.

Evil fallen angels must have strong powers given to them by evil spirits.

Guilford, who had been drawing the image of a fallen angel in his head, grabbed Ascalon, which he was wearing around his waist.

“Does it look like something I have to do?”

– “As it is related to the Church of the Evil God, it would be better for you, the hero, to step forward.”

He said that he would not enter the temple, but it was not a story of completely ignoring the power of evil spirits.

If it was something that he could solve, he was willing to go ahead and solve it.

If there were people suffering from the fallen angels, it was even more unforgivable.

After hearing the story, Guilford decided to meet the fallen angel in person.

Whoa.

Guilford took a deep breath with a confused mind and asked Ascalon.

“How far away is the location?”

– “It’s a long way to get there in a full moon.”

“It’s a full moon. It’s not that far away.”

– “What are you going to do?”

“Yeah, isn’t it obvious?”

Guilford’s eyes looked around his colleagues.

Garp and Jenny. And the brave mercenaries.

All of them would fight alongside Guilford.

Sreung.

Guilford, who pulled the Ascalon from his waist, shouted to his comrades.

“We’re going to catch the fallen angel from now on. Let those who are afraid fall right now.”
