Chapter 229 Strongest Sage, Pretends to be Ally

I circulate specific mana into the door once I received the girls' confirmation .

Our enemy this time is 『Soil Demons』 that posses high stamina and considerable agility .

While being careful not to let any slips out, I watch over the door opening .

" . . . Mu?"

Seeing the hidden room's door opening, the demons got on their guard .

"This guy . . . Who?"

"Only Grevil is supposed to know this location . . . Does that mean, he's a reinforcement sent by Grevil?"

"I see . I don't think we're in a situation that necessitates reinforcement though . . . Oy, you, what's your business here?"

Looks like these demons believed that some guy called Grevil told me about this place .

--Grevil .

The 37th King of Aegis Kingdom had the same name if I remember correctly .

Aegis Kingdom was one of the countries that had connections with me .

And since it was also one of the countries involved in the Sixth Source's construction, of course being a king, Grevil knew about this hidden room .

However . . . It's really hard to believe that Grevil would conspire with demons to destroy humans .

Grevil was neither a tyrant nor a foolish ruler, rather he was a capable king .

He employed the right tactics to minimize casualties in the wars with demons, ruled his kingdom peacefully, and was very popular with the populace .

His only fault would be that he had no magic talent, none at all .

I guess it's plausible for a king to get immortality magic cast on himself, the fact that he's still alive isn't really surprising . . . But he's inherently someone who's far removed from such violence like working together with demons to fight humans .

Well, the guy might be a different person with the same name, let's think about that later .

No matter who the other party is, we've gotta to find the mastermind behind all this either way .

First thing first, I've got to beat these demons in front of me .

. . . That said, they've gone out of their way to talk to me and all .

I'll take every info I can pull out of them .

"By Grevil's order, I have come to relay a message from Reliaj . "

Reliaj was the chancellor of Aegis Kingdom when the past me was alive, a man who was practically Grevil's right hand .

Since his name was unusual even at the time, if these demons reacted to it, that would mean this 『Grevil』 is the same king I knew .

It's unusual for demons to work under human though .

And the demons respond by . . .

"What!? Can it be, has Reliaj been resurrected as well!?!?"

"Was it not only demons that got resurrected!"

Their reaction was quite unexpected .

For now, it's clear that the demons know about Reliaj, but what do they mean by 『Resurrected』 .

Has someone managed to develop revival magic while I was reincarnating?

If that was true, the situation in this world wouldn't have been like it is now though . . .

For now, I'll just match their talk randomly .

"Yeah . Reliaj may be a human, however Grevil is quite fond of him . Grevil did everything he could to resurrect Reliaj . "

I observed the demons' reaction as I said that .

Depending on their response, I should find out more about revival magic .

Now then, and their response is . . .

" . . . Grevil resurrected him? What are you talking about?"

"Wasn't a star falling from the sky the one that resurrected us?"

This is . . . truly unexpected .

『A star falling from the sky resurrected demons』 huh .

--The reason I sought strength to the point I reincarnated myself was s.p.a.ce monsters .

Indeed, it wouldn't be strange for those beings to perform mere revival magic .

Even I haven't got full grasp on the ability those s.p.a.ce monsters posses, as they are beings that are detached from fundamental principles .

There is no more fitting being that would work as an explanation for making impossible stuff like 『reviving the dead』 possible .

"Yeah . Grevil predicted where that star would fall on and put Reliaj's body--"

I keep talking with the demons to fish out more information .

Suddenly--one of the 『Soil Demons』 shouts out loud .

"Kill him! He's an enemy!"
