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

"If Lord Mitis is willing, you may go with Lingran to fight the coalition forces. For safety reasons, Lord Ruthie, Iris, Princess-hime, and Princess Angelica will stay in the royal capital."

"What about Camisia?"

"I will be standing guard with Kiru at the foot of the city to prevent Oz from attacking the soldiers first."

“I see… I get it. With Camisia around, it’s really easy—?”

Before she could finish her words, Ella saw a yellow beam of light rising in the northern sky, and then Mitis's face changed.

"Mark of Sloth."

"In the north of the city... Could it be that Miss Angeline has been discovered?"

"It's Iris-senpai who's fighting with His Majesty Oz."

Fuka's words made everyone, including Jinghua, stand up.

Chapter 62: The Curse of Sloth

*创世纪6187年11月5日 上午11:20分 库米海姆王国

Since most of the residents in the city have fled, the originally bustling North District has become quiet. Angelica, who had just returned from outside, took off her mask and placed it on the stone table in the courtyard.

"There's no one around, so idle..."

If I could go out of the city to hunt monsters, I wouldn't be so bored. But because of the approaching war, I can only leave the city and not enter it, so I just walked around the streets. Of course, at Ella's instruction, I wore a mask to conceal my cognition before going out.

Anjeni sighed.

"Why did I have to face this trouble? Anyway, why did Kiru ask me to return to the elves?"

"If it's not to study Angeline-chan's close combat ability, maybe it has something to do with her identity."

"Eh?"

The sudden sound made Angeline look up immediately. What came into her sight was Iris dressed in a magic robe. Not only that, Iris was holding the magic wand "Water Dance" in her hand. Even Angeline could see that something was wrong with her formal attire and subconsciously stood up from the stone bench.

"Iris-senpai? What's wrong?"

"Just found some bugs on the way here."

Iris, who was standing by the door, took a step aside, revealing several Kumi corpses that turned into pieces.

"Although I originally came to see Angeline-chan with the thought of just in case, now it seems that this just in case has become a reality. Angeline-chan has been discovered."

"No way? I put on my mask before I went out."

With a pang of her heart, Angeline picked up the mask from the table, then took a few steps forward to Iris, preparing to escape, but Iris reached out to stop Angeline.

"Iris-senpai? If you don't leave now, you're going to be caught!"

"Where are you going, Angela-chan? Are you going to look for Ella-chan?"

Elise's words startled Angelini.

“Yes… yes.”

It’s better to say that there is no other option except to go find Ella.

Elise sighed.

"I knew this would happen. It's strange that Angeline-chan went out wearing a mask at this time without being noticed by the guards. If we go to look for Ella-chan now, Oz will only notice the relationship between Angeline-chan and Ella-chan. Then, Kiru will also find out that we deceived him."

"Then what should we do?"

Angeline felt anxious. The huge plan was messed up because of her. This kind of guilt and remorse would make anyone feel uneasy, not to mention that Ella's purpose of coming to the Kingdom of Kumheim was to solve her own problem.

Raising her staff, Iris used detection magic towards the sky, and a huge white eyeball suddenly appeared a hundred meters in the air.

"Time is running out, and the capital has already activated a barrier that blocks teleportation magic. The possibility of escaping the city is extremely small. Therefore, it is better to confront them head-on rather than run away."

"Head-on? Wouldn't that be even worse?!"

Even if he combined his own strength with Iris's, it would be impossible for them to compete with a real army. Not to mention the opponent's large-scale magic weapons, first of all, neither their physical strength nor their magic power could sustain them until the two of them finished fighting.

Without any nervousness at all, Iris walked slowly into the courtyard and explained to Angelica who was standing behind her.

"If I use the magic of 'Soul Summoning', I might be able to fight them, but my goal this time is not to defeat them, but to lose on purpose."

"Lose? I'll be captured...but what about Elise-senpai?"

"Haha, it's Angelini-chan as expected. You're still worried about me at this time. I naturally have a way to escape."

Elise couldn't help but smile.

"Since I can't go find Ella, it's only a matter of time before Angeline is caught. So it's better to let Oz take her away early so that Ella can formulate a strategy in advance. I'm not sure if Ella's special magic can be used a second time, but even if it can't, I believe Ella will find another way to get Angeline out of the castle. Well, if Angeline hadn't been discovered, this wouldn't have happened."

The so-called special magic refers to the skill that Ella used to bring Angeline in the Kingdom of Kumheim directly back to the Demon Clan.

"Sorry... Elise-senpai, go and warn Ella-chan. I'm enough here."

Angelica lowered her head.

Iris comforted Angelique with a smile that was quite like an older sister, and gently patted Angelique's shoulder. If Shen Gan saw it, he would definitely be amazed at Iris's pretending to be a lady.

"It's okay. I want to stay here to confirm one thing. And I think it might be a good thing that Angelica-chan was taken away by Oz in some sense."

"Good news?"

"Well, the reason why Oz appointed Kagami-chan as the successor to the Saint instead of the Saint was not only because he wanted his people to gradually accept Kagami-chan, but there must be other more selfish reasons - perhaps he couldn't bring himself to admit that he had mistaken the Saint, or he couldn't forgive himself for mistaking the real Saint for a fake. At critical moments, emotions can determine choices more than reason... No, this is just my guess, Angeline-chan, you don't have to listen to everything."

Halfway through her words, Iris trailed off, looking as if she was thinking about something.

"Time is too short to consider all possibilities..."

"But why did Iris-senpai say this is a good thing for us?"

Raising her sapphire-like clear eyes, Angelica asked.

"Hmm? Ah, maybe I'm overthinking it. Angelica-chan, don't worry about it. Anyway, when you fight the people sent by Oz later, try your best to pretend that you don't want to be taken back. Once the demon army, the coalition forces of the Harry Kingdom and the Riglist Church, and the Kumiheim Kingdom army are in place, the others and I will bring Angelica-chan out of the castle."

Iris's words made Angeline look uneasy for a moment, but she quickly suppressed it. Unlike the last time she was taken away, this time Ella was in the city, not to mention Camisia and Iris were also by her side, so she felt much more at ease than last time.

"Since Iris-senpai says so, I understand."

"Well then, let's just wait here for Kumi to appear. If Kumi doesn't die, it won't be a problem to smash a few of them."

"Um."

Nodding vigorously, Angelini began to chant the difficult strengthening spell. Although it was only a basic magic with a pitifully small improvement, it was better than nothing.

Time passed slowly in silence. The two men faced the closed door, ready to strike anyone who came in at any time.

After about a quarter of an hour, Iris responded.

"Here it comes, 'Swamp Transformation'."

Before Angeline rushed out, black balls gathered on Iris's staff and flew straight to the closing door. Facing the Kumi tribe with a talent for magic immunity, even Iris, who was at level 36, had a hard time. The Iron Kumi was immune to first-level magic, and the Mountain Copper Kumi was already immune to third-level magic. As for the Crimson Gold Kumi, there were very few records about them, and the few descriptions left only said that they could resist fifth-level magic.

That's why Iris chose "Swampification" to soften the land and thus restrict the movements of the Kumi people. Angeline, who is also a warrior, has learned "Flying", so it will not affect Angeline.

"Angeline-chan, avoid using energy attacks."

"Understood! [Heavy Slash]!"

A red light suddenly appeared on the golden-pink scythe. Flying in the air, Angeline raised the scythe over her shoulder and slashed at the closing wooden door.

boom!

Without any delay, the wooden door covered with mottled marks turned into pieces in an instant, followed by several sounds similar to those of broken ceramics.

Just as Iris saw with the detection magic, the Kumi formed a team and broke into the house where Angeline was. However, what was a little different from what Iris expected was that there were not only several copper Kumi in the team, but also a scarlet gold Kumi wearing a crown.

[Is that King Oz? It's indeed Scarlet Gold Kumi, and his aura is completely different from the other Kumi.]

Even the orichalcum Kumi was only as tall as a fourteen-year-old girl, but the scarlet gold Kumi was over two meters tall. Coupled with the powerful aura emanating from the scarlet gold body, even Iris couldn't help but have the illusion that it was unbreakable.

[If it's this level of strength...it's a bit difficult to deal with.]

Even the Kumi scholars who were familiar with the knowledge of the Kumi people had misunderstandings about Oz. He had heard from the Kumi scholars that he could "resist" fifth-level magic, but now seeing it with his own eyes, he would believe it even if he was said to be "unharmed". He had only seen that kind of momentum that seemed to solidify the surrounding air into an iron barrel in Kamisia.

Is it really only level 43?

Elise frowned slightly, but soon her eyes were fixed on the crown on Oz's head. The Seal of Sloth inlaid in the center of the crown was emitting a dazzling yellow light.

"Tsk, you used the Seal of Sloth?"

After one strike and a quick retreat, Angelini, who had succeeded, jumped back to Iris. Although Angelini intended to continue the pursuit, she stopped unconsciously after noticing the aura emanating from Oz. She stared at Oz who walked slowly into the room, frowned, and said in a deep voice.

"Iris-senpai..."

"Don't worry about it."

""hardening"."

While the two were talking, Oz, who had neutralized his "Swamp Transformation", also led the other Kumi into the courtyard. Perhaps because of Angelini's previous experience, Oz only ordered the stronger Orichalcum-level Kumi to surround Iris and the other person.

His majestic gaze first lingered on Iris for a moment, then Oz took a step forward and looked at Angelica, bowing slightly.

"Lady Saint, why did you leave the royal city and settle here?"

"I'm not a saint."

Angelique had no hatred towards Oz. When they lived in the castle before, Oz treated Angelique perfectly and would nod in agreement with whatever Angelique said - except leaving the capital.

"The fact that you were able to enter the Oracle Ceremony is the best proof."

"But...but isn't Kagamika able to decipher the contents of the crown?"

This is something that everyone in the royal capital knows, so no one will doubt it if you say it out loud.

Angelica's question made Oz pause, but he quickly gave an answer.

"We'll make a judgment after everything settles down. For now, please return to the castle, Saint."

Elise couldn't help but smile slyly. From these words, she could tell that Oz was no longer sure of Angeline's identity.

"Ah, Your Majesty Oz, the Saint said she doesn't want to return to the castle. Is it not appropriate to simply order the Son of God as the King's agent?"

When the Son of God is confirmed, the king becomes the acting king, which is the tradition of the Kingdom of Kumheim.

Oz looked at Iris with an annoyed expression.

"The Holy Son is not yet mature, so it's not your place as an outsider to make decisions. You should be grateful that the kingdom didn't pursue you for hiding the Holy Lady."

"So, does the Agent, Oz-sama, think that the Son of God is immature? If the Son of God himself doesn't want to stay in the castle, then since he escaped once, he can escape a second time."

"So it's you!"

After hearing what Iris said, a copper-level Kumi next to her angrily swung a long-handled axe at Iris, but was blocked by Iris's "Ice Wall". Then Iris took the opportunity to grab a vermilion crystal from the storage item and threw it at the copper-level Kumi.

boom!

It was as if thunder exploded nearby, causing the ground to tremble slightly. Dust mixed with broken debris flew everywhere, and the affected Orichalcum Kumi was instantly shattered into pieces. For the first time, "Kuro's Tears" demonstrated its power in battle.

And just like lighting a powder keg, taking Iris's action as a signal, Angeline immediately swung out her giant scythe, followed by the orichalcum-level Kumi rushing forward, separating Angeline and Iris. However, Angeline was only facing the orichalcum-level Kumi, while Iris was facing Oz who possessed the Seal of Sloth.

"You are the one who kidnapped the Saint, right?"

"What if I say no?"

"You're still trying to make excuses after all this!"

"Ah, aha, let me be clear. Just like before, if Angelica could be taken away once, then there will be a second time. Even if you now have the Seal of Sloth, representing the Holy Spirit of the Earth, the facts will not change. Rather than insisting on meaningless dignity, it is more rational to look forward. In fact, you have already accepted the Holy Maiden Jinghua in your heart, right?"

Of course, Elise didn't think she could convince Oz with words. When dealing with such a person, defeating him directly would be more effective than verbal persuasion.

And just as Iris thought, Oz did not waver at all.

"Let me see what gives you such confidence—a flash."

Without any warning, Oz disappeared from Iris's sight, but as if Iris had already predicted that Oz would appear in front of her, she retreated and used flying magic to take off into the air.

"Theory of the art—"

"Get down here!"
