TWEM Vol. 7 Chapter 12 Part 1
Chapter 12 – The Apostle of the Evil God, Eleos
Having a bad feeling, I leapt back from the spot.
As soon as I did, the space I had been in exploded.
Thanks to my quick retreat, I didn’t take much damage, but it made me think for a moment.
If that attack had hit me directly, what would have happened? It felt like the air had burst…
Eleos seemed impressed on seeing me avoid the attack.
“I see. You managed to dodge that attack. That’s impressive for a mere demon.”
Eleos seemed to have no doubt that I was a demon.
To be able to fool such a strong guy, the magic tools I made were excellent.
“Thanks very much. May I ask what kind of attack you use just now?”
“Very well. I’ll teach you, since you’re about to die anyway. The attack just now used space-time magic. It’s a technique that requires particularly high skill.”
Oh, if you used space-time magic, I can do it too, right?
From what I felt earlier, perhaps you used space compression?
Just to see what it was like, I decided to try it on Eleos.
“You can’t do it—”
“Like this?”
Eleos was interrupted as I snapped my fingers.
The space around Eleos exploded.
“Guh?!”
Eleos covered his face with his arms to protect himself from the impact.
The guy who lowered his arms had a look of surprise on his face.
He probably thought it would be impossible for me, but it turned out to be surprisingly easy.
“Yeah. I did it.”
“H-How can a normal demon without any blessings do that?”
If you could get the hang of it, you could do it even without blessings, right?
“Well, I was amazing. Now, there’s a lot I need to ask you, so why don’t you let me catch you for once?”
“Don’t mess with me!”
Eleos summoned a sword so black that it seemed to condense darkness from space and slashed at me.
I drew my beloved sword, deflected the approaching sword, and quickly slashed at him, but Eleos dodged by turning his body away.
Eleos took advantage of the gap and turned his palm towards me.
“—Dark Inferno!”
A small black fireball was approaching me.
I decided that it was not a distance I could avoid, so I instantly deployed a space-cutting barrier, Aegis, while simultaneously covering my entire body.
The fireball then hit the barrier I had deployed directly, bursting into flames.
“You should just burn up like that, you scoundrel who defies God!”
“Oh come on. How can I burn up if I’m not even burning?”
A voice came from within the black mass of flames, and Eleos seemed surprised.
I blew away the flames and told Eleos, who looked shocked.
“Is that all? Considering you’re an apostle, you aren’t that impressive.”
“Ggh!”
Eleos’s expression was filled with rage, but judging from his intimidating presence, I couldn’t imagine he had that much strength.

Strong, but not strong enough for me.
And there was one thing that bothered me.
It was the unique skill “Mercy.”
I activated Appraisal on the unique skill.
.
<Mercy>
Halves the power of magic attacks within a radius of 100 meters.
When the user launches a magic attack, the power is doubled.
When the target loses the will to fight, the user has the power over their life and death.
.
I thought it was a unique skill with a nasty name, but this was even more dangerous than I imagined. What was this, gaining the power of life and death over those who have lost their will to fight…
Also, I’m curious about the Majin race.
《—Majins are the evolved demons equivalent of High Humans.》
I see, so that meant they were no different from me in terms of race.
When I was thinking that, Eleos spoke to me.
“Yes, I admit it. You are strong. So I will take you seriously.”
Eleos spread his arms and spoke the name of the magic.
“—World of Mercy.”
