I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace

1515 - Extra Chapter: Isis Episode ~ ~ Past ⑦ ~ ~

As Kuromueina stood on the rooftop of her abode in the Demon Realm, Lillywood approached.

[How was Isis?]

“Sleeping. Even though her body shouldn’t require sleep, her falling asleep may have been due to mental fatigue.”

[I see…… That was a blunder. This time was my mistake. I also wanted to observe the growth process of her magic power, so I kept Zwei’s initial magic power low. At the very least, I should have made her have enough magic power to withstand Isis’ magic power of death.]

“Just like me, I think Isis herself had just forgotten about it. Everyone here was strong enough to converse with Isis after all.”

Kuromueina, Lillywood, and of course, the members of the family all know about Isis’ magic power of death. In fact, until the time Magnawell had been brought back home, they were very careful and quite cautious about whether or not he could handle the magic power of death.

However, since Isis herself almost never went out and had no contact with anyone other than her family, the reactions of the other creatures when they were exposed to her magic power of death had somehow been pushed to the corner of her mind.

“……Kuromueina, is there any way to protect oneself against Isis’ magic power other than a person being reasonably strong?”

[I’ve done some research, but it seems difficult. The magic power of death is too unique. Its nature is so close to the Gods’ authority that it can’t be blocked by any kind of Defensive Magic.]

“Authority?”

[Yeah. Errr, besides the Demon Realm where we live, there’s another realm where the World Creator…… the God who created this world resides, the God Realm. Well, if I explain about stuff in detail, this will take long, so it’s enough if you simply recognize that authority is the power of that Creator, a higher power than magic.]

“So such a realm exists…… I’ve only heard rumors of Gods from legends and folklore. Do they sometimes appear in the Demon Realm?”

[The ones who seldomly visit the Demon Realm are like the lowest ranks among the Gods. Well, I’ll tell you more about that sometime. There is something I’d like your help with after all.]

Kuromueina had planned to face Shallow Vernal sooner or later. But at the moment, she is still in the process of gathering the strength to fight off the Gods who would likely oppose them.

After lightly chuckling upon such a thought, Kuromueina returned to the topic.

[Anyhow, returning back to the topic, Isis’ magic power of death has several characteristics. First of all, it has the power to instill fundamental fear in those who come into contact with it. Regarding this, it has this characteristic of “the greater the difference in ability with Isis, the greater the effect”. If the magic power of death comes in contact with Lillywood, whose strength was on par with Isis, it would only have an effect equivalent to her magic power exerting slight pressure, but if the difference in ability is large, it would be at a level where coming on contact with it would make a person lose consciousness. Though I say that, that was already after Isis managed to mitigate the effect to a considerable extent.]

“I did hear how before Kuromueina taught her, she used to kill all living and inorganic things around her.”

[Unnn. Next, the pressure exerted by her magic power of death is influenced by Isis’ own mentality. Well, magic power originally is something easily influenced by emotions, but that is especially remarkable in her magic power of death. And finally, the magic power of death itself is so strong that even Isis herself can’t completely control it. If Isis grows and becomes much stronger than she is now, she might be able to control it, but that will take her a huge amount of years.]

“In any case, it means that it’s difficult to do something about it right away.”

[……Unnn. For the time being, Zwei will be brought up in a separate house that was built exclusively for her. I’m going to ask Ein to go over there and help me raise Zwei. After she grows to a certain extent, enough for her to withstand the magic power of death, I’ll have her meet Isis again.]

Zwei, in her current state, is unable to resist the magic power of death. Zwei herself knows Isis’ circumstances through the knowledge given to her by Kuromueina, so she feels sorry for her reaction when they met for the first time…… but the magic power of death isn’t something that can be handled just by having knowledge about it, as no matter what Zwei herself thinks, if she gets close to Isis, she will be crushed by her fear and end up running away screaming again.

In the end, in her current situation, there’s no other way to oppose Isis’ magic power of death other than increasing one’s strength.

Although Kuromueina and the others are unaware of it, the magic power of death was originally created based on the special magic power of the Great Evil God of Despair, a World Creator from another world, and it’s not something that can be coped with by just mental strength.

If there is a being who can suppress the magic power of death and take Isis’ hand with just their magic power, even though there’s a big difference in ability between them and Isis, then one can even say that their mental strength exceeds even the realm of Gods.

[……I just hope that this time’s incident didn’t inflict emotional scars on Isis……]

“You’re right. Let’s also be careful not to let her thoughts drift in the wrong direction.”

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [The greater the difference in ability between Isis and the other party, the stronger the effect will be…… In fact, even when they weren’t aware of it, Aoi and Hina did faint with Isis’ arrival, so it actually may be quite the outrageous magic power. Well, there’s that guy who braved through it even though he was declared the weakest in the series…… As expected of the Singularity.]
