The demon monk in the second dimension

No, I can't laugh!

Eris, you are now a mature goddess, you must not laugh at this time.

but,

but,

puff!

Hey☆

(●'?｀●)

……

Back outside Axel, Xia Zhi drew her longsword and leaned forward.

Swipe!

With a beautiful cross slash, he cleaved a large cross-shaped wound into the giant frog's belly with his sharp knight's sword.

When a giant frog has eaten and is digesting its food, it will not move.

The unfortunate giant frog died on the spot, and Aqua fell out of the wound in the frog's belly.

Her body was covered in the foul-smelling digestive fluids from the giant frog's stomach, and the smell was quite unpleasant.

As soon as Aqua escaped from the giant frog's belly, she cried.

"Ugh! That giant frog is disgusting! Ugh!"

Inside the giant frog's belly, she didn't know how many mouthfuls of the sticky, smelly frog mucus, which looked like phlegm that had been sitting for days, she just vomited it all up.

Xia Zhi silently took out her phone to take a picture.

In case the truth comes out and Aqua returns to the divine realm, having this photo of Aqua's suffering would at least be enough to explain things to Luo Hao.

While Aqua was vomiting, Xia Zhi came to another giant frog.

He sprinted forward while keeping an eye on the giant frog's movements.

As soon as the giant frog sticks out its tongue, Xia Zhi immediately rolls to the side to avoid the frog's attack.

Upon getting close, Xia Zhi swung her sword twice more, easily dispatching the giant frog.

After bringing Aqua back to the city, who reeked of a foul odor that made others want to stay away, Xia Zhi first made her take a bath.

Then, at the Adventurers' Guild, Xia Zhi bought a bottle of precious shochu and treated Aqua to a giant frog feast.

Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet!

Aqua channeled her grief and anger into her appetite, devouring three whole servings of roasted giant frog legs.

Xia Zhi said this while she was eating.

“Aqua, I’ve thought it over. In our current state of starting from scratch, it’s unlikely that we can easily defeat the Demon King’s army.”

"So I'm leaving Axel, the starting town, to level up on the more dangerous front lines. I'll leave some money behind. Aqua, you stay in a safe place and wait for news of my successful defeat of the Demon King."

Aqua, whose mouth was stuffed with a lot of food, nodded repeatedly at Xia Zhi upon hearing this.

"You're so kind! Xia Zhijun, I misunderstood you before! How much money can you leave me?"

That's the important point!

Seeing Aqua's appearance, Xia Zhi's lingering guilt about deceiving an idiot immediately vanished.

Before leaving, he sold several of Marquis Voban's magical items and left Aqua a huge sum of ten million Eris.

Judging from Aqua's appearance, she'll probably start spending like crazy once Xia Zhi leaves, attracting a lot of admiring (look at her as a fat sheep) gazes.

In the realm of gods, Aqua is hated by both humans and gods, and she herself knows that she has very poor interpersonal relationships.

Therefore, they especially enjoy being the center of attention and basking in the adoration and admiration of celebrities.

The Crimson Sword then carried Xia Zhi from Axel to the front line where they were confronting the Demon King's Castle, which was also the capital of the Belzeg Kingdom.

In Axel City, the Crimson Sword sensed an aura similar to that of the Demon King's army.

However, the other party has the owner's aura and its appearance matches the owner's aesthetic, so it seems to be the owner's target.

The Crimson Light Sword sometimes felt that its master's attack power fluctuated wildly.

When it's strong, it's just like itself; it can kill someone with a single stab, devouring their body and soul.

He stabbed her thousands of times when she was weak. Although the women screamed and looked like they were in a lot of pain, none of them died.

Before long, they will pester their owner again, saying they want more.

That's so strange!

Chapter 196 Running Away and Transactions

At this moment, within the royal capital, the Belzegu royal family was preparing to dispatch several powerful adventurer scout teams to investigate what exactly was happening within the Demon King's army and the Demon King's castle.

After observing with magic, they discovered that the Demon King's army's position, which was full of people yesterday, was completely empty today.

Only various suits of armor and weapons lay scattered on the ground, along with a few traces of blood.

Even the Demon King's castle, which was usually shrouded in mist and protected by observation magic, has revealed itself!

It was at this time that Xia Zhi arrived in the capital.

He flew openly into the sky above the ancient city of Belzegu, his crimson sword shrouded in demonic energy!

A crimson sword light lifted Xia Zhi into the sky. And within the black demonic energy, various figures could be vaguely seen rising and falling.

A headless angel, a war god with his heart pierced, a demon covered in blood... all hovered around Xia Zhi!

An immense pressure descended upon them. Countless people within the royal city felt a fear emanating from their very genes, and involuntarily knelt down!

Countless people stared in horror at the sky, their bodies trembling, their hearts filled with despair.

Is today their last day?

Xia Zhi was very satisfied with the effect created by the Crimson Light Sword.

He wore a black knight's armor and a mask, with a blood-red cloak billowing behind him as he looked down at the world.

"Humans! Standing before you is the new Demon King, Afanti Blue Cat Old Master! The old Demon King and his demon army have been slain by me. Now is the era of me, Old Master!"

"Be terrified, humans! Tremble under your blankets, humans! When I return, it will be the end of humanity!"

The Crimson Light Sword released a burst of sword energy at just the right moment, which crashed heavily onto the open ground between the royal capital and the Demon King's army.

boom!

With a deafening roar, the sword energy cleaved a massive crack, a thousand meters long and over a hundred meters wide, in front of the capital!

Blood and demonic energy lingered in the crack, turning into billowing smoke. The surrounding vegetation withered instantly, its life force eroded away.

"Hahahahahaha!!!"

Leaving behind a series of loud laughs, Xia Zhi transformed into a streak of crimson light and disappeared into the horizon.

……

After the announcement in the capital, Xia Zhi immediately asked Eris to help her escape and return to Mount Lu.

Let Aqua stay in this world!

He asked Eris, using her hidden identity in this world, for the thief Chris to figure out a way to get Aqua, Megumin, and Darkness to team up.

With these three people hanging around together, and with the money he left behind, Xia Zhi estimated that Aqua would live a very "fulfilling" life for a long time and would never think of returning to the divine realm.

When Xia Zhi returned to Mount Lu, Luo Hao had not yet returned from the Greek pantheon.

He found a photography shop, developed several photos of Aqua, and placed them on the table inside the temple.

Afterwards, Xia Zhi returned to Sardinia.

"King, you're back!"

"king!"

When the summer solstice returned, Takatsuki Sen, Alice, Erica, and Liliana quickly came to pay their respects.

Xia Zhi nodded to everyone and casually asked.

Has anything happened recently?

He had only asked casually, but Erica actually had something to report.

"Your Majesty, the 'She-Wolf' has discovered a divine artifact while exploring a ruin. She is unsure what to do with it and requests Your Majesty's decision."

"Sacred tool?"

I roughly calculated the time of the summer solstice and had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

"Have them send it over."

Half a day later, the divine artifact arrived before Xia Zhi.

It was just as he expected.

This artifact is a palm-sized round stone slab, carved with the likeness of Medusa, the Gorgon.

This is the "Ancient Serpent" that Athena has been searching for, known as the Gorgon Stone, which is part of her power.

When Athena obtains this power, she will be able to regain her divine status.

But in this world, Xia Zhi estimates that this is probably just an excuse for Athena to stay in the lower realm.

Since she hadn't found the snake, she had a reason to stay in the lower realm and play instead of returning to the boring realm of gods.

After putting away the Gorgon Stone, Xia Zhi inquired about the progress of the castle renovations on the Balkan Peninsula.

Liliana, who had been following the matter closely, reported.

"Most of the hard furnishings are complete; now we're just waiting for the soft furnishings to arrive. Some of the soft furnishings that Wang has chosen require careful crafting and will probably take another month to complete."

After asking a few more questions, Xia Zhi waved her hand.

"Go back."

He went to the secret room where Luculazia used to practice magic and took out the "Substitute Technique" to begin practicing.

Three days later, the jade talisman in Xia Zhi's arms lit up.

This is the communication jade talisman that Luo Hao left for him, from which her voice can be heard.

"Little brother, are you still in the little world?"

Xia Zhi was startled and quickly said.

"No. I left Aqua there and came back first."

Luo Hao didn't ask about Aqua, but spoke to Xia Zhi instead.

“It’s good that you’re back. I’m planning to trade with Astrea, the ‘Goddess of Justice’ from the divine realm, for a spot in Orario. Although she doesn’t have what we need, she has a good relationship with Athena and said that Athena has a fragment of the ultimate secret technique that she once obtained from the Blood God Cult, and she can help us get it.”

"But Athena descended to earth hundreds of years ago and became a disobedient god. We need to find her first."

Such a coincidence?

Xia Zhi glanced at the Gorgon Stone placed beside her and said to Luo Hao.

“I happen to have Athena’s divine artifacts, so she will come to me on her own.”

Luo Hao said, "Really? That saves a lot of trouble. Where are you now? Astraea and I will come find you."

"When I found out my sister wasn't in Lushan, I returned to Sardinia."

Not long after Xia Zhi finished speaking, she felt two powerful auras descend upon the castle.

He arrived at the garden inside the castle and discovered that Luo Hao and another goddess had come.

Astraea is a goddess dressed in a Victorian white tight-fitting gown, with a gold belt around her waist and a light blue scarf around her neck, supported by several black straps attached to the scarf to accentuate her heavy breasts.

If Hestia is the blue ribbon, then she is the black ribbon.

Astraea exudes a gentle maternal aura and has consistently ranked first on the list of people in the divine realm who "want to rest their head on her lap and have their head patted."

She is hailed as someone whom "all the gods wished to be their mother."

The arrival of the two immediately alerted the guards and maids around them.
