Great Ancient Mage, Found the secret’s fragment (1)

Evan now understood everything.

There weren’t any clashing scenes with the monsters from the rift of the Spirit Realm in the starting and middle phase of Yo-Ma Great War Zero.

How were so many of the demons able to become recreated as mutants through the power from the Spirit Realm?

The Yo-Ma Great War Zero players expected that it’s a normal phenomenon since the demons were fighting against the monsters from the other world in the final phase of the game, but the actual turnaround starts after that.

“Were they cooperating with each other from the start, these bastards…”

“It’s the worst.”

“Even the Demon Realm realized that it couldn’t possibly conquer Middle Earth without outsourcing the Spirit Realm. It did a nice SWOT analysis.”

“It’s surprising that it sounds like the Devil has a proper chain of command when you put it that way.”

Maybell replied while being dumbfounded, and she blankly stared at the entrance of the Demon Realm.

Mirole lifted her bow on her side.

As the result of Evan cutting the throats of all the monsters he encountered while traveling the Eternal Glacier today, the strength that Mirole puts onto her bowstring became five times stronger than from the day before.

“Then let’s eradicate it right away.”

“No, wait, Mirole. That isn’t a good idea.”

“Then, should we leave it as is? Zero, even you think that the alliance between the Demon Realm and the Spirit Realm isn’t good.”

“Of course. But it’s such a pity if we are to destroy the bluntly visible entrance to the Demon Realm.”

“Huh… what…?”

Mirole did not understand the meaning behind his words.

But he couldn’t explain all the secrets of alchemy to her, so Evan came up with a different approach.

“Let’s go in. We can kill the demons inside their realm without getting bothered to look for them.”

“Wait a minute. Zero, I’m starting to look at the world very differently because of your words.”

To her and the forest fairies, demons were something that they hid from, not something they slaughtered.

And yet, he speaks of going into the Demon Realm that’s filled with horrible demons! And his next words were more shocking.

“The number of prey got lessened since we killed too many of them today, and if we enter the Demon Realm, there will be plenty of materials for Mirole to level up with.”

“…….”

Mirole quietly stared at Evan. Such things were impossible if it wasn’t for this man.

She was certain that Zero wasn’t from the Demon Realm, so she was relieved.

“All right, let’s go. I believe in you, Zero.”

“We won’t stay long, anyways. Then let’s go.”

But there’s something that must be prepared before their departure.

Safety gear should be installed so that the members can return back to this land whenever they want, but installing it near the gate of the Demon Realm is illogical, so something else must be done.

“Everything will be alright if I set the exit to the Necklace World and the Great Forest.”

“Ah… Ah? Huh?”

The explanation might have been a bit difficult for Mirole to understand.

“Whether we are in the Demon Realm or in the Spirit Realm, I can enter the Necklace World through this. So, if there’s a passage between the Necklace World and the forest of the World Tree, everything’s solved.”

“Is that possible?”

“I’ll work on it now.”

“…….”

Evan started working on it right away. The accessories that can be made into artifacts were always in stock by Horta, and the magic technique was supplied enough by the witch Ctheasil.

So, all he needed to do was to combine the ingredients while adding his alchemy in it and then come up with the complete product.

Such a production method and division of labor would not have been possible if Evan didn’t have the knowledge from the present time; so, if it were known to the world, it would cause havoc for being a revolutionary method, but since there aren’t many specialists who can handle it, it would just surprise people, and that’s it.

“Hmm… After completing it, it looks similar to the Miraseul’s necklace.”

“Doesn’t it look completely similar?”

“Yup. Well, it has to create a passage with my necklace, so the more similar it looks, the better.”

“I see. I didn’t understand even a bit of it.”

Maybell’s abilities didn’t match well with artifacts. Evan gave up on explaining, and he finished up the work.

Lastly, he activated it while connecting it with the Miraseul’s necklace, and after confirming the creation of the passage into the forest of the World Tree, he kept it inside his pocket.

“Good, now we have a safety precaution. Let’s head in.”

“I will follow you.”

While crafting the necklace, he caught the monsters in their vicinity and had Mirole kill them; in turn, she became more confident with herself throughout the process.

She was even certain that she could summon the spirits in the Demon Realm!

‘This is how I’ll be able to acquire the Hell Ruby, the final ingredient for the Elixir. By entering the Demon Realm field that didn’t appear in the entire DLC of Yo-Ma Great War series…!’

Evan couldn’t be more excited than this.

Whether the Elixir becomes the legendary bait until the entire Yo-Ma Great War series ends.

Whether those damn developers became addicted to the word, Mcguffin.

If the Elixir really works with erectile dysfunction and hair loss…

Evan finally got the chance to get the solution to the rages and questions of the player base!

“Let’s go.”

After calmly expressing his complicated emotions with two words, Evan entered the entrance of the Demon Realm while holding Maybell and Mirole in each of his hands.

A space in the dimension opened, and as the two worlds got connected, a roar and a tremble were felt.

Perhaps those were the tears shed by the world.

Hopefully not.

“Woah…”

The world became dark and then brightened up a little, and Evan realized that his party entered the Demon Realm after feeling the rough land with his feet, so he looked around in admiration.

The first thing he felt was that the world was generally sulky. It had a sky, but it was so low that jumping might actually lead to touching the sky.

There were too many clouds which were blood-red with a strange texture, so he could really touch them for real if he wanted to.

“…Horrible miasma.”

Mirole quietly mumbled.

“This place really is the Demon Realm. Just entering this world… could make my guardian spirits scream in fear. I am scared, too.”

“You’re right. It is an explicit embodiment of death.”

Evan was surprised, too.

In fact, with his current abilities, he wasn’t afraid of anything, even the Devil.

However, he felt the fear from the heavy miasma filling up the Demon Realm, the sky full of death, and the weight of despair worth a hundred years stacked up.

“It’s a debuff.”

Evan spoke in astonishment after realizing what was making him shrivel.

There actually exists a debuff that penetrates his resistances.

Evan even mastered his resistance against the miasma.

The fact that he feels a slight sting means that Mirole is barely standing right now.

“I’m sorry, Mirole. I should have trained you for the resistance against the miasma.”

“What is that, Zero…?”

“You can work on it from now, so it’s fine. The current environment is a golden opportunity to do so, too.”

The Demon Realm filled with miasma will be the best place for mastering the resistance against it without much effort. However, resistance potions were necessary until one learns the resistance and develops it.

“First, drink one potion. You’ll be fine.”

“Th-Thank you.”

Maybe her condition started to get worse. Mirole received the potion Evan offered while slightly shaking, and she drank it.

But actually, she was pulling it off quite well. If she were a normal human or forest fairy, it wouldn’t even be possible for her to stand at all.

She managed to withstand the Demon Realm with the blessings from the World Tree and the spirits in her body.

Evan didn’t know about such a harsh condition.

He had to admit that he underestimated the Demon Realm.

“Let’s spend today focusing on adjusting to the environment. That will allow Mirole to be able to handle enough for combat.”

“No.”

Mirole finished drinking up the potion Evan gave and replied confidently to Evan, all the while showing a firm expression.

“I’m fine now. I can fight.”

“Really?”

“Of course. You’ve raised my ‘level’ this much. I even have the potions, so it’s ridiculous if I can’t resist this ‘debuff’.”

The person who understands the concept of levels can judge oneself objectively and can, in turn, naturally, become stronger.

Evan was relieved after hearing Mirole’s words, and after telling her to rely on him if she is having a difficult time, he started to do a serious search of their surroundings.

“Ah, as expected of the Demon Realm. There is an insane number of demons and demonic beasts. Maybell, with your abilities… Maybell?”

“Yes, Master.”

Maybell quietly replied. Evan took a look at her. There weren’t any changes before and after coming into the Demon Realm, but…

“She became somewhat more erotic.”

“I’m pleased to hear that, Master. Then do you want to personally check it out yourself?”

“Later.”

“Huhu.”

Maybell smiled seductively. Evan’s conclusion was pretty accurate.

Maybell entered the Demon Realm for the first time ever since she was born. She accepted the fact that she truly is a demon only after accepting the miasma that filled up the realm.

The miasma in the atmosphere was a debuff to Evan and Mirole, but it became the most powerful buff for Maybell.

A burst of emotions, overwhelming sensations, conflicts with something that exists within her which she wasn’t aware of until now, and the enhancement of her special abilities.

If she tasted the miasma of the Demon Realm before having a concrete personality, she might have become a hound for the Devil.

As she is a succubus that moves on emotions, the effects were strong. Maybell didn’t hide her soaring feelings and kept on charming Evan, all the while clinging onto him.

“I really hope the night will come soon, Maaaster.”

“Ah, this is a problem. It’s a pattern of disaster.”

“Maybell…”

“Forget about our agreement for a while, Mirole.”

“I hate you…”

Mirole pouted while Maybell pulled one of Evan’s arms between her breasts with a seductive smile of intention.

Evan was trying his best to free his arm, and he didn’t have the leisure to even ask about their ‘agreement’.

“We need to engage in combat, Maybell. Is it possible to pull the monsters with your succubus ability?”

“Of course, Master. I just realized it now after coming here, but I might pull off an even better result.”

Maybell flapped her bat wings and flew up into the sky. Evan only saw her toying with her wings, so flying struck a pretty impressive memory to him.

However…

“…Huh?”

Maybell suddenly looked confused when she was about to unleash her abilities while showing a composed smile.

“Huh? It shouldn’t be?”

“What’s wrong, Maybell? Can’t you do it?”

“Provoke me at night! No, it’s not like that. Huh, it shouldn’t be…”

Maybell spoke in a perplexed state.

“I can feel the presence of acquaintances?”
