I was accidentally injured by God and I just want to be an ordinary person

There was a clear human voice coming from a place that was obviously empty. The strange scene made the poachers in the cave look terrified. They kept alert to their surroundings and looked at their unconscious companions.

"It's an assassin! It must be from the Imperial Army!"

"Go find the revealing powder!"

The poacher, realizing what was happening, yelled at his companions and swung his short blade aimlessly around, looking terrified.

"ice--"

"Wait, Lotte."

Reaching out to stop Lotte's sniper attack, Ella explained.

"Tell them to find that item called Revealing Powder. I have something on my mind."

"Okay, Miss Ella."

The two people, floating in the air with magic and in invisible state, looked at the poachers in the cave. This was the third cave they visited. With the cooperation of "group concealment", "terrain search" and "stun bombs", no poacher could escape from Ella. As for the poachers who wanted to sneak away through the escape passage, in order to reduce the workload, Ella had already sealed the entire mountain with a "space cage", and even air could not circulate.

"This isn't the first time I've seen this, but when Ella-san gets serious, she's truly amazing. I feel like I can't catch up no matter how hard I try."

Putting Hela away, Loti sighed with some regret. She didn't look like she was in the middle of a battle at all. After experiencing the previous two "encirclements" - given that there were only two participants, Loti thought the term was not accurate, but she really couldn't find a more appropriate word - she realized that even without her participation, Ella could accomplish all these things. It felt like she was being taken on a tour by Ella.

"No, no, putting aside the fact that I'm inferior to Lotte in many ways, I wasn't born this strong, you know? I was also a very ordinary person at the beginning."

"Really?"

Lotte raised her orange-red eyes, trying to find the color of lying in Ella's eyes.

Since she wasn't lying and knew that if it weren't for the item called "Divine Light" given by the Loli God, her level wouldn't be so outrageous, Ella nodded with a very serious expression.

"real."

“Ugh…”

Lotte puffed up her cheeks, which was unusual for her, and looked a little dissatisfied.

"Then I'll keep working hard. One day I'll be able to surpass Miss Ella."

"Eh... I think a good balance between work and rest would be better..."

Ella looked away guiltily. She really couldn't bear to undermine Lotte's confidence. Rather than telling her the real level directly, it would be better to keep it a little secret.

While the two were talking, the poachers also responded.

"I've got the revealing powder!"

"Hurry up and take it out!"

Following the order, white powder called revealing powder was sprinkled out, and for a moment, the entire cave was dyed with a gray color.

"Ahem, now, can we see the assassin now?!"

"Hey, hey, why aren't there any?"

"Impossible! Did he escape?"

“That must be the case, hahaha!”

The poachers looked around but couldn't find Ella, so they burst into laughter.

but--

"Ahem, these guys, what's this revealing powder? It's just flour!"

While covering her nose, Ella waved her hands to drive away the white powder flying in front of her. At first, in order to test the strength of "group concealment", she deliberately asked the poachers to find the so-called visible powder props, but now it seems that it was an extremely stupid behavior.

"Ms. Ella, this."

"Ahem, ahem, thank you, thank you."

Taking the handkerchief offered by Lotte, Ella pressed it to her mouth. She and Lotte floated above the cave, naturally unaware of the poachers. Of course, the flour she had sprinkled had some effect; if one looked closely, they could still make out Lotte and her. "Mass Concealment" simply meant disappearing from view; touching objects and speaking to people was no problem.

"Not only could it be detected by detection magic, but it could also be detected by simple means like these... Sure enough, it's a skill of a low level in itself."

Ella sighed.

"Let's deal with this quickly. It would be troublesome if they woke up and ran away. Let's gather them all together and dump them at the camp. Given Entarosphiel's status—although nearly a thousand poachers would definitely give Gerard a headache."

As for how much information Gerrard can get from them, that depends on Gerrard's own strength.

Just as Ella was about to speak, Lotte tilted her head and looked at Ella.

"Ms. Ella, do you need me?"

"That's fine with me, if that's what Lotte wants."

"Of course!"

A look of delight appeared on Lotte's face, then she patted her face with her hand and put on a cold expression.

Seeing this, Ella couldn't help but find it a little funny.

[Even though they can't see, you have to be so serious...]

"Just in case, I'll ask again, is there anyone among you who isn't a Laplace Demon?"

It was so cold that Ella was a little surprised whether it was actually Lotte's voice.

The poachers who were originally laughing suddenly froze in expression, as if they had witnessed some supernatural event, their pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip.

"W-What?"

"The assassin hasn't left yet!"

"It's on the ceiling!"

A sharp-eyed poacher discovered where the two were and pointed at the ceiling with horror on his face. At this point, even they could understand that this assassin possessed flying magic and was at least level 20 or above.

The man who looked like the leader raised his short blade and yelled at his men.

"Throw the weapon!"

"Yes, throw the weapon over!"

"Use a bow and arrow!"

The poachers who came to their senses had a ferocious look on their faces again. They threw their weapons without hesitation, and there was even some magical light mixed in. Of course, due to lack of coordination, some weapons collided with each other and bounced to the sides, which was another matter.

"Go to hell!"

"Haha, it looks like there are no more prisoners, Crystal Wall."

A crystal emitting colorful light appeared in front of Ella and Lotte without warning, and then the thrown weapons clanged against the crystal wall. The crisp sound did not sound threatening at all, and even gave people the feeling that the poachers were acting.

In "F.Wing", it is a fifth-level magic, which is equivalent to fiftieth-level magic in this world. The poachers are of course unable to break it, and not even a tiny dent can be made. Not only that, "Crystal Wall" is a skill that does not consume magic power after release, and it will not disappear with the passage of time. In other words, as long as Ella is willing, she can even sell the crystal wall she created in exchange for gold coins. The crystal wall condensed by magic power not only has no impurities, but is also unusually hard, so it is very suitable for processing into decorations or protective gear.

As for the problem of being too hard to be processed, it can only be left to the craftsmen to solve.

Seeing their weapons clinking on the ground after losing their power, the poachers widened their eyes, their cloudy eyeballs filled with disbelief.

"how is this possible!"

"What is that? I've never seen magic like this before."

"Could it be... Dragon Magic, Wall of Frost? But why does it look like crystal?"

"Let's not worry about that for now. What should we do next!?"

The poachers were thrown into chaos by the sudden appearance of the giant beast. Some of the smarter ones were seen preparing to sneak away during the chaos, but with the help of the "terrain search", they had no place to hide.

"Well, we can take a break here. 'Stun Bomb - Continuous Fire'."

With a light snap of her fingers, several fist-sized stun bombs gathered in front of Ella. Under the cover of countless dust, accompanied by the sound of bullets hitting the wall, everyone lost their combat effectiveness.

Using a "weak airflow" to scatter the flour scattered by the poachers, Ella and Lotte fell to the ground, constantly brushing off the white powder on their bodies.

"Ahh, why not just change your clothes?"

"But Miss Ella only represents Entarosphiel when she wears this dress."

“Mmm…”

Seeing Ella's depressed expression, Lotte smiled wryly and turned the topic to poachers.

"Ms. Ella, do we need to tie these people up first?"

"Eh... tying them up one by one seems like a waste of time, and we don't have enough ropes. Let's just leave them like this and use 『Mass Teleport』 to throw them directly to Gerard."

"Where are the seized treasures and gold coins?"

Lotte's question made Ella put her index finger on her chin and think for a moment.

"Hmm...it's the same as before. Since they stole it from the black dragons, let's return it to them. After all, we've taken a lot of things from the black dragons, and it would be embarrassing if we didn't return them to their original owners."

"It's Miss Ella after all."

"I always feel like Lotte described me as stupid."

"If it's Miss Ella, even if she's an idiot, she's still a cute idiot."

With her hands folded in front of her waist, Lotte smiled and tilted her head, and the hem of her maid skirt and the purple twintails behind her swayed.

"And I mean, Miss Ella is very kind. If it were anyone else, they would definitely keep these treasures for themselves."

"No...anyone else would have done the same..."

Ella's voice sounded a little unsure, but Lotte didn't care.

"As expected, it's Miss Ella..."

Chapter 55 Eavesdropping

"Short-distance teleportation."

After throwing all the poachers near Gerard's camp, Ella left Ruthie in the inn in Carlo Town for safety reasons, and went straight to the cave where the Seal of Greed was located.

Since the lighting depends entirely on the torches on both sides of the cave, there are inevitably corners that are not reached by light. Coupled with the unique flickering light of the torches, the entire cave gives people an indescribable horror atmosphere.

Swallowing unconsciously, Ella, who was in invisible state, looked around awkwardly.

"Even though there's no one around... let's still prepare in advance and go 'completely hidden'."

After applying "Complete Concealment," which could penetrate objects and magic, Ella felt relieved and continued to float forward.

"Isn't it really the Holy Spirit that controls fire? The deeper we get, the hotter it gets. I should have changed into a healer's outfit."

Wiping the beads of sweat running down her cheeks, Ella opened the "Terrain Search".

Mitis and Sith were standing at the stone door at the entrance of the cave, while the Seal of Greed remained there as if it hadn't noticed.

Should we get rid of the Seal of Greed first?

This thought emerged in his mind: with a blow from the Loli God state, even without using attack magic, he could use physical means to turn the Seal of Original Sin back to its weakest state - it is worth mentioning that even with physical means, the Seal of Original Sin would not be directly killed and turned into a badge, which seemed to be affected by the subconscious.

[No, let's just wait and see for now. We can deal with it anytime anyway, so it doesn't matter if we leave it alone for a while. If the Seal of Greed doesn't have any serious ill intentions, we can just pretend we didn't see it.]

After seeing Mitis, Ella had a new understanding of the Mark of Original Sin - not all Marks of Original Sin stand on the side of evil, so the Mark of Greed may also have some hidden secrets that are beyond its control.

Thinking of this, Ella couldn't help but sigh.

"Haha, if only Mitis would tell me, then I could help you find a solution..."

Although he already knew that Mitis was the Mark of Original Sin, he did not want to expose her thoughts. The reason why Mitis did not say it must be that she had her own difficulties, or was restricted by some kind of contract, or perhaps it was something like a knot in her heart.

Let's put aside the former. If it's a knot in her heart, and if Mitis is willing to continue like this, I will naturally pretend not to see it. But if Mitis shows even a little desire to get help from me, I will be willing to solve the problem for Mitis. It is natural to help people who are in trouble, not to mention that Mitis is my best friend.

It didn't take long for Ella to arrive at the open hall with a high ceiling where the Seal of Greed was located. There were no living creatures in the khaki space, and even things blocking the view were invisible. Except for the whirring sound of the surrounding torches, the place was filled with a dead silence.

Focusing her eyes on the most eye-catching platform in the room, Ella became alert and approached cautiously.

Looking down from above, one can see traces of sealing magic remaining on the platform. The ancient fonts and dazzling patterns everywhere show its long history. However, the seal has been destroyed now - like a pecked eggshell, there is a hole in the center, and cracks are everywhere near the platform. Even by looking at the remaining traces, Ella can feel the extent of the battle that took place at that time.

『Advanced Appraisal』

Ailah cast the highest level of identification magic towards the interior of the cave. Even with the level bonus of the Loli God, there was no guarantee that "Terrain Search" could see all the opponent's information.

"Weakened? Is there such a thing as the Mark of Original Sin?"

"I didn't expect it to come so soon. I'm jealous."

Just as Ella was curious about the status of the Seal of Greed, a deep male voice sounded in the originally silent space.

“Ah!”
