Full recovery!

I did well to survive with just my head!

Thank god for full recovery upon leveling up!

It's so wonderful to have a body!

Now then, I think I've floated a long way.

Where could this place be?

Clairvoyance.

It's a town!

I wonder if I can get any food over there.

Guess it's impossible. I'm a spider, after all.

What?

That's…

That's the thing the vampire kid was in!

So many people are still after her.

We somehow made it back safely.

I thought we were done for back then.

I didn't expect to be rescued by a monster.

That must have been the Divine Beast sent by the Goddess.

I'm sure that the Goddess sent it to protect us.

The Divine Beast, really…

Master.

-Shall I look into that Taratect? -Sophia. You must be tired.

-You must be tired, but please do so. -Sleep well.

I understand.

Let me know immediately if you find out anything.

The baby has been born, Master!

My name is Shoko Negishi. I was born and raised in Japan.

But when I regained consciousness,

I turned into a baby somewhere that's not Japan.

It's a healthy baby girl!

You're so adorable.

Listen.

You have to grow up to be a beauty, like your mommy.

-And be as smart as daddy, okay? -I couldn't understand what was going on,

but I seemed to have been reincarnated as the daughter of a noble family.

I don't know how this happened.

The last thing I remember was having a literature lesson.

Although I felt confused and uneasy at first,

the life with my kind parents and butler is better than my previous life.

So I got used to it quickly.

I thought I could keep living my life happily without a care in the world.

Until that day…

Sophia, we're almost home.

Sophia is my new name in this world.

I don't understand how Ohts can be so confident.

It's obvious that our country is way stronger than theirs.

Perhaps because it's allied

with the Renxandt Empire and the Holy Kingdom of Alleius.

With those two nations supporting them, I can see why they feel so assured.

The Word of God Religion, was it?

Weren't they the ones encouraging Ohts to go to war with Sariella?

That's because they think the Goddess Religion is a cult.

It's no wonder.

I don't know much about religions.

According to them, the Word of God Religion

harbors one-sided hate for our nation.

But doesn't the Word of God Religion go by the creed,

"Improve our Skills so that we may hear the Word of God"?

That's the system voiceover we hear when we level up, right?

Sounds like a dangerous cult to believe in something like that.

Master, please wait in the carriage!

Kill them!

What?

A spider?

It's a monster!

Run!

A monster like that exists in this world.

It's scary to be out of town.

It probably won't enter the town, so we won't meet again.

What could be the matter?

Master.

What's wrong?

The Taratect seems to have built a nest in the forest near the town.

What?

Seriously?

I guess this is where we part ways.

Thank you for all your help.

But can I really have all the Earth Dragon materials?

These all can be sold for a fortune.

This was an impromptu trip for you,

so please accept these as a thank-you gift.

If that's the case, I shall help myself.

Well, Mr. Basgath…

If you'd like, could you stay with us--

Young boy, I'm just a wee guide.

Bringing you all the way here is my duty.

From here on, it's up to you guys.

An old geezer like me can't be of any good use.

I will pray for this world to be better, even if it's just a little.

I will try my best.

Great!

Is it a straight route to Elf Village from here?

We'll have to alight at Sariella before entering the village.

So let's buy a coat for Fei in a nearby town.

Right. Fei's wings are too eye-catching.

That's one of the reasons.

But it's mainly for religious reasons.

Sariella believes in the Goddess Religion.

Legends say that the Goddess has white wings.

That means if they see Fei's wings, they may worship her?

That would have been better,

but they may also attack her

for the reason that it's blasphemous to imitate the Goddess.

In other words, it's a country with a different way of thinking,

so don't be surprised if you see something strange.

The Goddess Religion believes in salvation by offering skills to the Goddess.

However, the Word of God Religion advocates

the improvement of skills to hear the Word of God.

Offering skills?

There is a skill called Skill Elimination,

and they believe that removing skills through that method

offers them to the Goddess.

As a reincarnation with previous memories,

it feels more strange to have skills in the first place.

Both religions sound dubious.

Right.

The Goddess Religion and the Word of God Religion

view each other as cults,

and they even had wars among each other too.

Shun, you may not be a believer of the Word of God Religion,

but all Heroes have been under their management.

So if my identity as the Hero is exposed,

we'll get involved in unnecessary conflicts?

It's best not to draw attention.

You're right.

Aren't there cuter ones?

Something that's pink or with polka-dots?

You shouldn't draw attention.

I know that, but…

Offer your skills!

While the Word of God Religion is now controlled by Hugo,

we can't rely on the Goddess Religion, either.

I'm afraid that Dustin LXI, pontiff of the Word of God Religion,

is under Hugo's control too.

The pontiff, really?

Have you met the pontiff before, Shun?

-Yes… -Are you all right, child?

That's right, don't cry. What a good boy.

May God bless you.

He seemed like a kind person.

If he's also brainwashed and made used of, then I must save him.

Yes. In order to do that, we have to hurry.

The Goddess Religion and the Word of God Religion…

Neither of them is reliable.

We have to defeat Hugo with our own power!

Hugo Baint Renxandt, the new Hero,

is sending troops to fight against the evil elves!

Let's make Hugo work hard for it.

STEALTH

This is my new technique, the Clairvoyance Jinx Evil Eye.

It deals with an unavoidable deadly strike from a super long distance.

Even I'm afraid of my own power.

If they find dead bodies lying around at home,

they should realize that they're being targeted.

It'll feel like a waste to save them, only to get killed right after that.

Now then, let's have a look at the marked person.

He should be back in his base now.

Is that an elf? Yes, it is.

He seems to be explaining something.

Is he talking to himself? No, it's telepathy!

In any case, I didn't expect elves to be ruffians.

Elves always look like they're a nature-loving and upright race.

These elves are far from being upright.

Also, the robbers who attacked the vampire kid

seem to be the elves' accomplices.

Why are they targeting her?

Well, I might as well go all the way since I'm helping.

I get good experience by defeating humans too.

I shall protect them then.

Thankfully, for some reason, the Demon Lord's

at the Bottom Stratum of the Great Elroe Labyrinth.

Even the Demon Lord would take a few days to reach me from there,

so it should be fine to spend some time here.

That's all for tonight. Good night.

You failed?

Yes.

What's the reason?

A Taratect got in our way both times.

That's too much of a coincidence.

So what should we do from now on?

I shall go myself.

You'll do this yourself, Lord Potimas?

Continue to observe the spider carefully.

Report to me if there's any action.

A Taratect…

Could it be one of Ariel's kin?

I should be the only one aware of the existence of the reincarnations.

Besides Ariel, that man may know of it too.

I've tried to keep that a secret from him, but…

This is not a good location.

Keren County happens to be the main location of his insidious plan.

I don't know if Dustin LXI is aware of the existence of the reincarnations,

but he will surely be keeping an eye on us if we keep acting so boldly.

The worst-case scenario is having to fight Ariel and Dustin LXI at the same time.

Ariel has powerful strength,

while Dustin LXI has the power of the masses.

It's tricky no matter which side we fight,

but this is a good opportunity.

I shall crush them myself.

Open.

Okay. Let's do our best today too!

Let's hunt down all the robbers!

Is that a ritual? Are they praying? I'm just going to hunt them down, anyway.

All right! Let's keep this up and keep killing them!

They're praying again.

But no matter how much you pray,

you won't avoid the fate of being massacred, robbers.

Do all the robbers in this world act like this?

Or could they be a syndicate group pretending to be robbers?

Even elves are robbers here.

Perhaps there's some unknown conspiracy forming at some place I'm unaware of.

Close coverage of a certain nation's spies pretending to be robbers!

Just kidding!

I see, so the entire intelligence squad has been annihilated?

Yes.

Spies under other disguises were not killed,

so I think it's only targeting the robbers.

An unexpected obstruction showed up.

I didn't expect

the Nightmare of the Labyrinth to be residing in Sariella now.

It's a monster that has Mistress Ariel's backing.

Is she warning us not to attack Sariella?

In any case, we just have to observe the situation and be on alert.

Besides, Mistress Ariel isn't the only one we should be careful of.

Did you find out where the other robbers are from?

They appear to be part of an international

human trafficking organization active in other regions as well.

We also found out that there are elves in the organization.

Darn you, Potimas. What he does is a disaster to the world.

Allow me to continue my report.

There are still elves in Keren County.

Should we eliminate them?

We still don't know Potimas's intention in Keren County

as well as the reason behind the human trafficking across the regions.

Why did he kidnap so many children?

No. Is it the opposite?

Are they trying to use this as a cover for that one child they are aiming for?

There's too little information to act on.

Lord Dustin LXI?

No, let them live for now.

The task at hand is to crush the Goddess Religion.

Yes.

Continue to monitor them. Assume that the war has already begun.

I understand.

It will be for the best if Mistress Ariel and Potimas end up fighting one another.

The leader of Keren County tried hard to avoid wars,

but he's getting more and more warlike now.

He doesn't know it was us who induced it.

The Goddess Religion hates us, and we see them as a cult.

But both of us believe in the same God.

This is ridiculous.

What is going on?

There were more robbers who came to kidnap,

but they have all died.

Did the Taratect kill them?

I believe so.

My wife is preaching everywhere in town,

saying that the monster is the Divine Beast.

The folks are starting to believe that it really is the Divine Beast.

They don't know how worried that makes me.

Even if they call it the Divine Beast,

it's still a monster that came from the Great Elroe Labyrinth.

Ohts fears it and calls it the Nightmare of the Labyrinth.

I heard the fortress in Ohts was destroyed in an instant.

Its danger level is as high as S.

But since it only attacks the robbers, it could be highly intelligent.

It may even understand human language and communicate with us.

Having high intelligence doesn't mean that we can communicate.

Can you communicate normally

with the people of the Word of God Religion?

What do you think about the Nightmare?

Well, I don't know.

It's hard to understand its true nature.

It's evil, but it helps the weak.

Evil but helps the weak… This is getting more confusing.

This is bad!

What's going on? Why the fuss?

Nightmare saved a patient that's gravely ill!

What's with that spider?

Seems like I eliminated all the robbers in this area.

The ruler of the nation seems to think of me as a threat.

I can understand that since I'm a monster.

But his wife seems to like me.

Apparently, in the Goddess Religion that this town believes in,

spiders are holy creatures thought to be the Goddess's messengers

and are something like a divine beast.

That reminds me…

I think some Demon Lord had a title by the name of "Ancient Divine Beast."

It's true that I'm the Demon Lord's relative,

but I'm currently her enemy, to be specific.

Then according to the Goddess Religion,

does this mean that I'm having my karma right now?

I better stop thinking about this.

Someone's coming.

I beg you, Divine Beast!

Please save my child!

What, you want me to save him?

But I'm not the Divine Beast. You got the wrong spider.

Well, I guess I'll just try what I can.

Liver cancer? But he's still so young.

Could it be due to poverty?

Maybe he ate anything just to fill his stomach?

The mother isn't looking so well either.

Please!

Since I'm free, I might as well help heal them.

Be grateful! And take this as a lesson

to start a balanced lifestyle and a healthy diet!

Is this a gift? All right! I guess it pays to do good deeds!

-Thank you! -Thank you very much!

-Divine Beast! -Please save us!

It's so noisy…

What's going on?

Divine Beast!

-What's going on? -Please!

STAY TUNED!
