Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter Dreams of a Hero ~

Swirling magic. Load caused by a powerful barrier. Unknown magic is unleashed from all directions, and attacks from a high-ranking Spirit. Amidst the constant storm of attacks, I, Keller could not hide my confusion.

Well, what do I do?

I have not expected to be attacked this much. I came to fulfill the contract with 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》.

It has only been a few hours since I have regained my body, but I have roughly grasped the situation based on the information I received from the young girl from 《Night Parade (Hyakki Yako)》. The people of the forest in front of me should be members of 《Infinite Variety’s (Senpen Banka)》 group. There is no reason for me to be attacked as I have come all this way to lift the curse on Luke Saikol, a companion of 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》.

The fact that I did not destroy the barrier has been a mistake. Right now, I have just regained a physical body.

By reducing and absorbing my own temple and Phantoms under my command into Mana Materials, I managed to manifest myself as a solid entity, but it is far from perfect. On top of that, I am currently devoting my energy to protecting myself from the constant barrage of interception spells from the barrier.

I have to say that this all-out attack in the state I am right now is really annoying.

The barrier surrounding this city is a spell unknown to me. As expected, even I cannot instantly analyze and cancel a spell I see for the first time. However, it is possible to destroy it. It would have been better to dig up the city from the outside.

The reason I didn’t do that is because the people of the forest are 《Infinite Variety’s (Senpen Banka)》 friends, so in the end it is just out of kindness.

I never thought that I, Keller, who reigned as the god of war, would be cornered for such a trivial reason――Maybe my senses became too dull from sleeping too much?

With my current power, it is impossible to respond to all the attacks and dig up the city.

Each shot of Magic released contains deadly power. There are some inexperienced warriors among the attacking warriors, but by layering their power, they are able to sublimate it into a blow that could kill even a god. It is quite ingenuous.

――Of course, it is a story of only if I get hit.

I think while walking. Is it okay to kill these people of the forest, or should I wait for 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 to come? Retreat is not in my mind. Although the odds are stacked against me, I still have room to breathe.

This level of attack is not enough to damage my 『Outer Sense』.

The attacks of the people of the forest will not last forever. They are using all their strength. Their complexion has already deteriorated considerably. No matter how much they endure, it is I who will ultimately win.

However――.

I smile beneath my mask.

“Such futilely, but…… Interesting. If you haven’t heard about me, that means you don’t know my power. To think you haven’t broken down in front of an unknown power――” (Keller)

Keller is the god of war. During my lifetime, I ended up fighting a god at the culmination of my struggle, which I overcame and became a god. Even after I came to be called a god, I continued to fight until the last day of my destruction.

Numerous beings have challenged me in every way possible. However, not many living beings have been so tenacious when facing an unknown power.

At some point, I began to reveal my abilities. I seek to increase the number of my kins by making them know the power of a god and――Search for a better fight.

My power is a mutation. It is a rare thing even in my lifetime. So no one in this world would know about it.

『Outer Sense』.

Once called a strange disease, a rampaging sense. A divine organ.

There, I find what I am looking for and smile.

“I reached, him.” (Keller)

I wrap my power around a statue standing inside a mansion built on a distant large tree and pull it strongly with a force that will not destroy it. The warriors’ hands stop for a moment as the statue flies at high speed.

The statue thrust with great force right in front of me.

The statue is of a fearless young man. With sharp eyes that look like they are glaring at me, there is a sense of dynamism that seems to make you feel that it will start moving at any moment.

Because the statue is so well protected, there is not a single scratch on it when it pierced the ground with such force that it gouged the ground.

“!? Wha――This is!?” (Serene)

I use my power to check the status of the statue. Indeed, it seems that something that was originally human has been petrified by a powerful curse.

It will be difficult for the creatures of this world to completely remove a curse that has permeated his life. But there is no problem.

『Outer Sense』 .

It is an invisible divine organ that acts as arms, eyes, and ears that move freely and interfere with all kinds of forces.

It can see and hear distant objects, receive Magic, reduce and absorb Treasure Shrine into Mana Materials――And it can even accurately separate curses with precision.The source of this content ɪs ɴovᴇl(F)ɪre.ɴet

If 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 arrives, the misunderstanding will be cleared up. But waiting for him is too boring. I am a god of war. I do not dislike people who continue to fight with an unyielding will, whether they are friends or foes.

I place my hand on the statue and turn my gaze to the woman who is standing in front of the people of the forest.

“I don’t hate a vein struggle, warriors. Once this curse is lifted, let’s have some fun. At least, don’t die right away.” (Keller)

“!??? Lift the curse!? Whyyy!?” (Serene)

The woman lets out a hysterical voice. After all, she has not been told anything.

However, we cannot afford to go without a fight now. They are clearly a lower being, they are enough for a warm-up before attacking the world. As they get closer to death, the strength they will show will increase a little.

While thinking about this, I make my power, my 『Outer Sense』, slip into the statue.

And just when I am about to remove the curse――The interference of my 『Outer Sense』 is strongly repelled.

“!?” (Keller)

It is impossible. This petrification curse is certainly quite powerful. However, it isn’t so bad that my power cannot do anything about it.

No………… That is not it. Intuitively, I know the current resistance is not due to the curse. The current resistance is――.

Once again, I try to lightly extend my power to the statue. However, this time, I am not even able to slip into the statue and is repelled. There is no doubt.

This is……………… The statue is refusing to lift the curse?

It is the first time that has happened. I frown, this time I try to listen to the statue’s will. A bustling will that is hard to believe that he has turned into a statue flows through my 『Outer Sense』.

『Don’t interfeeeeeeeere! I will cut this curse myself!!』 (Luke)

………… What is this statue talking about?

“……………… Stop screwing around! Just turn back already!” (Keller)

The will of the statue does not matter. Lifting the curse is the contract I made with 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》. I lift the curse and 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 will pledge his loyalty to me in return.

I already half don’t care about his loyalty anymore, but there is no way that I, a god, would change my actions just because I am met with a little resistance.

If he wants to resist, all I have to do is put more force into it. I will forcefully tear the curse away.

When I thrust my power into the statue with all my might, the leader of the people of the forest, who has become stiff, shouts.

“Hh!! I won’t let you do what you want! I will prevent you from lifting the curse! Put more curses on Luke Saikol!!” (Serene)

“!?” (Keller)

Thanks for reading! And thanks Satria for the Ko-fi! So that is why Serene failed to lift the curse it is because of Luke! And Serene cursing Luke just because she doesn’t want Keller to win. I’m sure even she doesn’t know what she is don’t like Cry and that is why it is the correct solution!
