The Evil God Beyond the Smartphone

＜ 54 : Demon King Acrosis (1) ＞

The attack on the church by outside forces that occurred while I was away.

He tapped the screen coolly, but he was still heartbroken.

If there had been power to protect the denomination, the damage might have been reduced.

The apostles were characters who could use their divine powers to demonstrate powerful abilities.

However, since both Evan and Yutenia were busy with their own work, it was difficult to call them into the denomination.

It was a time when a new force was needed to defend the stronghold of the denomination.

“But I can’t even summon the apostles. It’s difficult to appoint Roan as an apostle.”

The ＜Apostle Selection＞ skill has already been decided to be used on the vampires that Utenia will find.

It was because it was judged that it was inappropriate for Roan, who is playing the role of the archbishop, to also serve as an apostle.

Existing apostles cannot be moved.

However, Roan cannot be appointed as an apostle.

In the end, after pondering for a long time, I came to only one conclusion.

“After all… that’s all.”

That is, using ＜Creature Maker＞ to create new creatures to protect the Order.

I moved my gaze down the screen and looked at the skill icon of ＜Creature Maker＞.

It’s been quite some time since [Shadow Beast: Alpha] was created.

The magic that was being paid as a penalty had also been restored to its maximum value for a long time.

Using ＜Creature Maker＞ now, it was possible to create new creatures.

If you can’t use the apostle to protect the denomination, you can use the creature to protect the denomination.

Having decided to make a creature, I thought about what kind of creature I would make using the skill.

“Since he’s the guardian of the Order, wouldn’t it be better to have a scary face?”

If you are the guardian of the denomination, you must have some dignity.

It’s only because you’re so docile that your enemies won’t be intimidated.

For that reason, I was thinking of setting the appearance close to a low number.

Of course, if you put it to the extreme, a guy like Kueberg could come out again, so I thought about adjusting the number to 2 or 3 appropriately.

After thinking about the appearance, the next item was about aggression.

“What’s the aggression… moderately around 5.”

A side effect of the low aggression category was cherubim, estasia.

Since she made ＜Creature Maker＞, she hasn’t moved from her seat even once.

They are still living in the cave where they first settled.

Meanwhile, a large and colorful building was being built in front of Estasia.

The more I looked, the more Estasia’s power was prospering was a mystery.

Anyway, apart from that fact, the guardian of the Order should not be playing like Estasia.

A moderate level of aggression was required, so I set the new creature’s aggression to 5.

“The size is… Hmm.”

The last item is about size.

I recalled the creatures I had made so far in my head one by one.

Kueberg. Estasia. and alpha.

Alpha is an exception, so even if it is excluded, it will be difficult if the size is too large.

Because it is none other than the guardian of the denomination.

It looked better if there was not much difference in size from the normal character.

Either 1 or 2 seemed okay, so I decided to create a new creature with a size of 2.

“Appearance 3. Size 2. Aggression 5. I have to go like this.”

Having decided on all the items, I activated the ＜Creature Maker＞ skill.

The mana consumed is 85% of the total.

The creature’s appearance is 3.

Aggression 5.

size is 2.

After setting each item, press the Create button, and the target appeared in the middle of the screen.

I was going to set a target for the church building, but I moved it to the mountain behind the church just in case.

“Please come out with something good.”

After setting the target to the back mountain, touch the target once again to activate the skill.

Kwok.

As soon as the screen was pressed, a large light filled the screen.

When the light that once blocked the field of vision faded, a human-sized creature appeared in its place.

It was a creature wearing a shabby hood.

– [Spirit King: Acrosis] has been created.

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

– [Spirit King: Acrosis] fears you.

– ＜Karma’s Balance＞ replaces the activity of [Spirit King: Acrosis] with your causal ratio.

The name of the new creature created with light is [Spirit King: Acrosis].

When the summoned guy raised his head, he saw that the spot where his eyes should have been was black and empty.

It was a wizard creature with no flesh visible.

There was only one name for such people.

rich. It was an immortal creature created by a wizard by devoting his body to it.

I don’t know if it’s a matter of appearance or size, but the creature that appeared this time looked like a lich protruding.

“……”

I stared blankly at [Spirit King: Acrosis] that appeared on the screen of my smartphone.

He had an evil-looking appearance, befitting the name of the King of Spirits.

It was a creature that seemed to have a very strong power just by looking at it.

Nevertheless, I had no choice but to look at Acrosis with an ambiguous expression.

It was because the existence I was trying to create was none other than the guardian of the Order.

Being a guardian of the Order with a face like that, there were a lot of things that were difficult to imagine.

“It feels like I’m threatening the world.”

The evil Lichira who protects the Order.

Somehow, I feel like I have become the mastermind of the evil that is aiming at the world.

From the beginning, it was said that the denomination was a place where other characters were sacrificed, but it was inevitable that I felt strange.

When I think about what I have done so far, was it not a benevolent being who performed miracles for the believers?

Like the Kueberg I made last time, Richie didn’t seem to fit well with my image.

I looked at Acrosis and looked back at my progress so far one by one.

“Well…….”

Looking back on my memories, I can only remember using magic while touring the villages.

The brief memories running through my head gave up thinking.

Then, looking at Acrosis, he quietly nodded his head.

Looking back, it was a creature that suited our denomination well.

You could think of it as the gatekeeper of the gates of hell.

It probably won’t be able to make it to the Guardians, but I thought it would be good enough for anything else.

If it was nicknamed the King of Spirits, surely it would be incredibly powerful.

A guardian guardian who will protect the denomination, it was something that had to be recreated in a day or two.

“After all, our denomination feels like that.”

After making the decision, I threw [Spirit King: Acrosis] away from the church.

He looked more likeable than Kueberg, but he wasn’t the kind of friend I wanted to see often.

I left Acrosis in a secluded place and shut down the screen of my smartphone as it was.

Then he picked up the cup noodles that were rolling on the floor and got up.

I was hungry after playing the game, so I thought of eating ramen to fill my stomach.

“I’m hungry, so I’ll boil this and eat it.”

I picked up cup noodles and headed to the kitchen to make ramen.

This is a mild-flavored cup ramen that I bought impulsively after a long time.

It was something I didn’t eat often, something I bought at a convenience store on the way home from work.

I was really looking forward to what the mild taste of cup noodles I ate in a long time would feel.

* * * * * *

A magic training room located in the basement of the Temple of Knowledge.

The hero of knowledge, Hus Alamere, was practicing his newly acquired magic with an open white book there.

The name of the book in Huss’s hand is ‘Hieroglyph’.

It was the only magic allowed to the hero of knowledge.

The hieroglyphs possessed by Hus were a magical weapon that allowed him to store magic identified with the naked eye.

Such abilities made it possible for Huss to push the limits of his talents and reach higher levels.

High-ranking wizards come to the Temple of Knowledge every day to teach Hus various magics through the hieroglyphs.

“Chain Lightning.”

Gripping support!

As Huss called out the magic name, a streak of lightning flashed from Hus’s fingers.

The blue lightning that extended from Hus’s hand hit the targets in the orbit sequentially.

It was a mid-level thunderbolt magic that effectively hit multiple enemies with one magic.

Huss, who hit all the targets through the chain lightning, took a breath and looked at the scene in front of him.

The wooden slats that had been hit by Hus’ magic were scorching black and emitting smoke.

“Uhhh this was it.”

The chain lightning used by Huss was the magic that the wizard who had visited last night used it right before his eyes.

Hus, who had stored magic through the hieroglyph, was able to reproduce the chain lightning without any difficulty.

However, he did not like the power of the Chain Lightning that he encountered in the training room.

I learned that there are many opponents that can hit compared to the consumption of magic, but both the range and power were mediocre magic.

If it was going to be used in real life, I thought it would be better to prepare another magic.

When Huss, with the hieroglyphs spread out, expressed his dissatisfaction, the sound of the door opening echoed from behind Huss.

“Heath, you are here.”

profit.

The one who opened the door of the magic training room was Aurora, the saint of knowledge.

Huss found Saint Aurora and completely closed the hieroglyphs that had been opened.

Then he gave a simple greeting to Aurora.

Aurora also looked at Huss and greeted her with a smile.

“Seeing that you have come all the way here, it seems that you have something to tell.”

“Of course. Because today was the day of the elders meeting.”

“The Council of Elders…”

“And in the meantime, there were a lot of stories that I had to tell Hus-sama urgently.”

“What’s the story?”

After the disappearance of his brother, Evan Alamere, Huss spends most of his day in the training room.

Is it because he lost the idol he had been pursuing all his life?

If not, was it to fill the brother’s vacancy?

Heus himself did not know the reason, but he seemed to be immersed in the training of magic all day.

Of course, conversations with Aurora were decreasing day by day.

Aurora didn’t come here unless it was time to tell Hus an urgent story.

“This time, we decided to form a Kueberg subjugation squad in the Holy Land.”

“Kueberg subjugation? This is the first name I’ve ever heard of. What is Kueberg?”

To Huss, who was confined to the magic training room and only trained, the name Kueberg was quite unfamiliar.

Had he expected such a question from Huss enough?

Aurora looked back at the paper in her hand and returned an answer to him.

“Kueberg is a self-proclaimed name by the clan of evil spirits that appeared in the Empire. It is a monster that has made one castle and more than 20 villages disappear.”

“The family of the evil spirit…”

Heath’s face darkened when he heard that he belonged to an evil spirit.

An evil evil spirit that targets the continent.

For now, his followers were presumed to be the cause of the disappearance of his brother.

Evan Alamere disappeared while returning from an investigation into the denomination.

Considering Evan’s ability to be selected as a heretic inquisitor even within the Holy Land, the story of being caught up in bandits was unlikely.

So, it was only natural for Huss to point to the church as the cause of Evan’s disappearance.

“In the Empire, we ordered the Cloud and formed a subjugation squad to subdue these Kuebergs.”

“The cloud has gone to subjugation.”

“And in the process, half of the subjugation crew, including the subjugation leader Gedur, were killed by Kueberg.”

“Chief of Gedur…”

Few of Cloud’s investigators knew anything about Gedur.

First-class investigator Gedur was a well-known entity.

The subjugation operation led by such a person failed.

It was a passage where one could guess a little bit of Kueberg’s strength.

If she continued to listen to Aurora, Huss could understand why she brought up the story of the subjugation squad.

Perhaps it was to get the heroes in the Holy Land to join the new subjugation squad.

“So, are the heroes coming out this time?”

“I’m well aware of that. That’s the heroic attitude of knowledge.”

“If it’s from the family of the evil god, it’s an opponent that heroes have to deal with. I understand. How do I prepare?”

“The temple will be contacted by tomorrow. I’ll let you know the detailed schedule at that time.”

Huss nodded at Aurora’s words and looked at the hieroglyph.

The Hero of Knowledge grew faster than other heroes.

It was not a strange story even if it was put into practice right away.

When Huss looked at the hieroglyphs and remained silent, Aurora coughed once while waiting for Huss.

It looked like he still had something to say, waiting for Huss to look at him.

“Is there something more to say?”

“……Sure.”

“What’s the story?”

“The other one is the news from Cloud… who was in search of Inquisitor Evan Allamere…”

News from Cloud, who went to search for Evan.

Hearing those words, Huss moved closer to Aurora.

Then he grabbed her by the shoulder and asked about Evan.

Perhaps because of excitement, the story came out in a higher tone than usual.

“Have you ever found your brother?”

“…that’s not it.”

“Then… what story is left?”

“It is said that most of the members of the branch who went to search, including Agent Period, the branch manager of the Centirius branch, are missing.”

Read at readwn.com

Most of the investigators of the Centuries branch disappeared.

It was at a level where it was safe to say that the horse was a disappearance and, in fact, annihilation.

In addition, the news was cut off even from his former boss, Agent’s first-class investigator.

Heath’s expression was completely distorted when he heard the story of his former colleagues.

“The Centirius branch… annihilated…?”

The brother who found the traces of the evil spirit also disappeared, and the former colleagues who were chasing him also disappeared.

People keep disappearing just by trying to get closer to the denomination.

What kind of being are you fighting against?

And what are you fighting for?

Huss clenched his chest in an ominous feeling that gripped his chest.

Too much had already been lost before the fight even started.

It was a war where it was impossible to even predict how many more things would have to be lost in the future.
