Grand Sealing Magic

In the end, everyone except Shiva-san, Elma, and Porco-san ended

up coming along with me.

That was because we figured that with Magmell's"Superior Arms"

we could create a barrier-type movement magic—like the one

Seleia-san, Tirna's mother, had made to allow us to move undersea

—so that we could bring everyone along even if we flew at high

speed.

Of course, Nazarie-san also stayed in the village to help making

Shiva-san and Elma's new equipment.

"Terra-sama~? Are you home~?"

As such, we were able to quickly arrive at the World Tree, but no

matter how many times we called, Terra-sama didn't come out.

"Hmm, there's no sign of a battle having taken place around here…"

muttered Arca.

"Yeah. But it's clear that this tree, her object representative, is

somewhat unwell," said Zana, gently touching the trunk of the World

Tree.

Certainly, it felt like the tree didn't have as much vitality, or vigor, if

you would, as it did the last time we were here.

It must have something to do with Terra-sama's disappearance.

"This makes two goddesses went missing now… The safety of the

other goddesses may also be at risk…" Magmell murmured.

Tirna nodded, "It is worrying. Not to mention, the other three

goddesses live close to human or demi-human settlements."

"Yeah. Even if the goddesses are immortal, that rule may not hold

true when Phinis-sama comes into the picture, and not to mention

humans, she even sent the Blackdolls to attack demi-human

villages. Taking that into account, I don't think she will care about

people's lives this late in the game," Arca said.

"Tsk, looks like I have to go check on the old hag for once. Well, I

don't think that old hag would kick the bucket that easily." Ophir

scratched her head, seeming like finding it bothersome. However, a

shadow was visible on her face.

Despite what she said, she was probably worried about Turbo-sama

who had raised her like a mother would.

The same was true for Tirna.

Given that Sinus-sama lived in the temple inside the mermaid village

Norg, there was a possibility that Seleia-san, whose ban of entering

the village had been lifted, would get caught up if a battle were to

occur.

Although she tried to pretend to be calm, she should be feeling

uneasy inwardly.

As such, I nodded vigorously.

"—Okay. Then let's head to Turbo-sama's temple right away. It'll

actually be better to first get back to inform situation the others, but I

feel like we'd miss something important if we do so. —Magmell."

"All right."

Once again activating " Superior Arms " with her, I deployed a

barrier to its maximum power, then we headed to Turbo-sama's

place at the fastest speed.

◇ ◇

"—Now, Turbo!"

"Don't order me around!"

BANG! Kicking off the ground, Igniver and Turbo slashed at Phinis at

the same time.

The former was holding a greatsword clad in blazing flame, whereas

the latter was holding a scythe clad in windstorm.

They were weapons of the highest class, one of a kind, and could

only be wielded by the gods who owned them.

However.

――Crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle!

"Ufufufufu...♪"

Phinis easily stopped them with the palms of her hands.

Upon a closer look, there was a thin barrier in front of her palms.

"Tsk, so it is not working…"

However, Igniver and the others had expected that to happen.

Already in possession of power equal to Olgou's from the very

beginning, Phinis had taken in the power of two of the five

goddesses.

Even if Igniver and Turbo joined forces, Phinis wouldn't fall far short

of them.

"—Haa!"

Crackle! Sinus's thrust aimed for Phinis's virtually empty back, but to

no one's surprise, it was stopped by a barrier.

"Fufu, it's a shame, isn't it…?"

"Kh…"

It was now clear that the barrier completely covered her from the

beginning. She had no need to hold out her hand to deploy it.

However—it was also within their expectations.

――Rrrwwwwwwwhhhhh!

"—!?" Phinis went wide-eyed.

It was natural.

The reason being, the bodies of the three goddesses began to shine

at the same time.

"No way, you all are planning to…!?" Phinis exclaimed.

"Indeed! We will have you sealed to the other side of the void again

along with us, Phinis!" Igniver shouted.

――Rrrwwwwwwwwwwwwwwhhhhhhhhhhh!

As the light became even stronger, Igniver and the others all

activated the sealing magic.
