Chapter 289: If something happens it’s the fault of the person responsible for it, but if they don’t take responsibility they aren’t the person responsible, just irresponsible? Part 1

Day 71 – Before dawn, Murimuri Castle Interior

I’ve used up a good chunk of my mana. The remaining magic power won’t be enough to activate 『Lifesaving』. For the sake of this day I refrained from selling magic stones, using them to augment the mana battery, but destroying a castle turned out to be harder than expected. I mean, I never thought that middle-aged men will revive, and add 30,000 more middle-aged men to the counter? And all of them are middle-aged men?! Moreover, I had to thoroughly destroy it and bury it, sealing them underground to make sure that even if they won’t be able to do anything even if they are revived with『Rise from the Dead』, wasting extra mana. Without preliminary arrangements there was a chance that mana wouldn’t even be enough.

Even the bamboo grove in the beginning, I already had seeds planted beforehand and only made them grow. Thanks to that it cost me only a fraction of mana that I would’ve used on Ice Needle. Even the traps at the Old Murimuri Castle were made by『Everlasting Trap』so I barely used any magic power. I actually even managed to restore some with 『Magic Absorption』while I was running around. And while I was operating the souvenir store at Fake Dungeon I was carving cracks on walls and pillars of the Old Murimuri Castle to ensure a clear collapse of the structure. Even the explosion and the fire itself were produced by igniting large quantities of volatile oil, which I found in the Capital, placed in hidden passages and rooms of the castle beforehand, so I didn’t use mana for that.

The biggest miscalculation was being forced into using it at this stage because of 『Rise from the Dead』. Even so, new Murimuri Castle is a part of stampede countermeasures, so it’s not like I could avoid making it. I made the foundation and base parts and then buried them, so it was far less energy consuming than making it from zero, even so, in terms of remaining magic power, it was a huge loss. It can’t be helped, but on top of having been forced to play one of my cards, my remaining mana was reduced by more than a half in one go, a heavy loss!

After all, there is no way the Church’s knights or that coffin girl would die from something as trivial as fire or cave in. I was taking them too lightly, but those knights have enough strength to evenly match 29 of my classmates in battle. Their equipment also wasn’t bad. And that girl… is too much. Yeah, that sexy body, with beautiful temping toned long amber legs, that while appear well-trained, also have a certain sweet thickness, with round buttocks and slender waist and lovely exposed stomach and navel, it’s definitely way way way too much in highschool boy sort of way… But she is in the same tier with Armored Pres-san and Slime-san? Yup, there is no way I can beat that!

But it appeared like the Chuch’s mages and knigts were using magic or something to restrain that girl. The magic flow that I saw with Rajingan points to something of『Domination』type. That’s why they didn’t want to use her… Then don’t if you don’t want to! No way I can beat a Dungeon Emperor class! Moreover, if she is that hard to control, then not only the Frontier will perish if she goes out of control, but also the Kingdom, and possibly the Continent itself? Can you stop her on your own if she goes berserk and comes to the Theocracy?! Why are you bringing into the world something this dangerous? No, I’m actually quite happy with what was brought, those superb legs, the outfit with the perfect degree of exposure, her beauty, her wonderful figure, all combined make me want to say thank you for bringing her here, but even so, she is way too dangerous! No, I do want to see more of her?

The side of the Old Murimuri Castle became a deep basin. Water from the nearby river is flowing there, which should eventually turn it into a pond, just as was planned. Are we finally going to have a swimsuit episode?! Well, speaking of bikinis, the restrained coffin girl in the chain bikini is still advancing, with the Knights keeping up a barrier. There are still more than 50 of them remaining. Fighting them head on is too dangerous… I must decide this with an ambush.

「For crying out loud, the brats these days lack proper discipline. At least teach them to grovel on the ground when faced with the servants of God carrying His Sign. Damn it. That’s why the filthy idiots living all in the way up the ass of the world who have no idea about the greatness of God are always acting like trash. Damn filth that dares to oppose God.」

「Wow, rude! Or rather, that’s the level one should expect from the servants of that old fart, I guess? After all, there is no salvation for a bunch who are on top of being the old man fetishists are also middle-aged men? It was a mistake to expect sentience from such dumb-looking ugly perverts crazy in love with the old geezer. How about you first evolve into a sentient life form before you start worrying about that bald geezers doctrine or whatever? What the hell with this vulgar incompetent waste of oxygen? That bald geezer should first make sure that such low-lives don’t propagate, and then talk about own godhood. He is clearly guilty here even before anyone can get him responsible under Product liability laws as a manufacturer.」

Even if they are wearing a splendid and extravagant full-body armor, on the inside they are just hoodlums. First kill them all before they fully undo the seal on that girl…… And no other choice but to cling to her and cause full disintegration through self-destructive『Atomic Manipulation』. Risking a nuclear decay In the worst case scenario but that’s the only way to defeat her. Moreover, it’s a chance to hold tight to a pretty girl! Thank you for a treat?

「This little shit, calling God an old fart! He has to be first tortured, reformed, and forced to cry plenty before being given Divine Punishment, riiight?」

「Right, you ask? Aren’t you a bit too shameless to do all of this on your own and then pushing the blame on a higher being? If you truly believe in all of this, then pray instead of causing mischief, and if prayer alone triggers it, then it’s a real divine punishment. If you do it then it’s just a massacre. What’s up with the Church pushing the fault their own atrocities on others? Well, if there is a line about mass slaughter in the old geezers teachings then it is his responsibility? Well, if there is such a thing as a god in the world, then all of the tragedies are their responsibility, and if they can’t take responsibility then they aren’t a god? What I’m trying to say, God Is Dead, and if they are still alive I’m killing them myself. That’s why you guys are just deviant old man fetishists, and will die as a bunch of mass murdering perverted degenerates. Well then, die?」

I can’t deal with a stampede. With that girl around, even saving one’s own life seems unlikely, forget about trying to save energy or mana for later. That’s why I’m first going to crush the low-life knights. Then I can do something about that girl. I can’t see it going anywhere, but doing something with pretty ladies is my passion and my profession, so I’m going to do my best!

That’s why, I’m going to send those geezer fetishists to the old geezer’s White Room. Then they can love each other there as much as they want!

Going all out without holding back I’ll defeat that girl while she is still restrained. While going through self-inflicted decay I『Magic Wrap』skills one after another『Teleportation』,『Gravity』,『Atomic Manipulation』,『Holding』in a completely uncontrollable state, strengthening myself to the max. Without trying to save on mana I pour all of it into 『Staff of the World Tree』. Sucking up my mana the staff grows extremely fast, and begins to pulsate. By now I already know what is going to come out of it… After all, it uncharacteristically chose to confess?　Legendary spear『Mistilteinn』 aided by『The Seven-Branched Sword』──although I have only two swords slotted into it at the moment,『Dimension Blade』and『Heavenly Sword of Gathering Clouds』.
