A Girl Who Was Told "You Have No Talent" Turned Out To Be A Talented Monster - Chapter 156.1
Ex-Piece Says Goodbye to the Holy City
“Myanmyan!”
“I wonder who named the phantom beast Myan. It doesn’t make a sound like Myan.”
“Myaan”
“Does it make a sound?”
While Ennely and Myan are having a strange exchange, a large crowd is gathered at the main gate of the Holy City. Ex-Piece is there to say goodbye to Aisha and Johan, the priests and the priestesses.
Among the priests is Ulner, who was essentially abandoned by the former Pope.
“I found myself cheering for you after watching your battle. It appears that there are still some priests who are called the Pope’s supporters who don’t believe in you, but time will solve the problem.”
“Your Eyeball Angel got the better of me.”
“I received a penalty for violating the contract, so now I’m alone. The moment I could no longer believe what I saw with my own eyes, I lost my sight.”
“Ugh… how cruel…”
That’s the scary thing about summoning. Angels, in particular, often require a mental aspect to the terms of the contract. There are few penalties for breaching the contract that are life-threatening, but they are all cruel.
And this was the result of Aisha, Johan, and Mirai trying to heal him. Ulner was supported by the priest, leaning on a staff.
“I wanted Zakir and Elaine to reflect on their actions, but I couldn’t bring them here. I’m sorry.”
“It’s fine. I don’t need to feel guilty about something like that.”
“I see… If you say so, hmm? What is it?”
The priest came running over and whispered something to Ulner. Ulner frowned.
“I just received a report. Zakir and Elaine were found in their rooms in entirely different states.”
“…I see. Were they killed?”
“I don’t know… They seem to have died in the same way as Ryouhou.”
“I need to talk to you about that.”
Johan appeared next to Ulner and spoke in a strong tone. His expression was so stern that even Aisha had never seen it before, and it made her spine shiver.
“Ryouhou probably fell into the depths of the underworld. He incurred the wrath of the Underworld King.”
“The Underworld King?”
Just that phrase made Litty lean forward.
She was looking forward to this adventure, but Johan’s expression became even grimmer.
“The underworld is the world of the dead… The lord of the underworld, the King of the Underworld, manages all souls. Therefore, refusing to die is also a rebellion against the King of the Underworld. Ryouhou has refused to die for hundreds of years, using the forbidden technique of possession and rebirth. To revive the Uzei religion that he once believed in…”
“The world of the dead…!”
“I knew it just by looking. That was the result of angering the king of the underworld. Forbidden technique… it is a rebellion against the laws of this world.”
“What is the depth of the underworld like?”
Ex-Piece other than Litty couldn’t say anything.
It’s not that they’re intimidated by the adventure-crazy Litty now. They’re just disturbed by a sudden sense of discomfort. They don’t know what it is. However, Mirai was the only one who suppressed her trembling.
“Tartarus, the eternal prison. Those who committed unforgivable sins in life are cast into this world. There is no rest there. There is no end. Only suffering continues.”
This time Litty swallowed her saliva. Litty, who thought that even the concept of death was part of the adventure, was silent.
“Litty, you seem to like adventure, but I’ll warn you. There are things in this world that you should never touch.”
“…Death?”
“If you continue your adventure, you will have the opportunity to know such things. The King of the Underworld was once feared as an absolute god alongside the god Mathias… but now few people know about it.”
“The underworld…”
Johan’s expression became grim as Litty muttered.
His real daughter Mirai was finally on her knees, breathing heavily. Kuufa was also stroking Mirai’s back, but she could no longer stand.
“Hey, Johan-san. What’s wrong?”
“What do you mean?”
“I thought your impression of me had changed.”
“Oh, sorry. I scared you a little.”
“Myan-chan is like this, isn’t she?”
“Myaah…!”
