「Good job everyone.」
Makoto walked up to double-check the state of the core. Seeing that the core has been completely destroyed, she notified everyone about the end of battle along with a sigh.
「Thank god ‘t died after usin’ two major abilities…」
「I wouldn’t know what to do if it still had enough energy to make another attack after directly taking damage from Wind Slash and Giant Dragon Killer.」
Hiroshi’s words slipped out as he picked up the Void Resident’s core with a sigh. To that, Makoto replied with exhaustion obvious in her voice.
「I’m just really hungry…」
Haruna let her guard down as she stopped singing. She placed her hand over her stomach and it made a small, adorable gurgling sound. She commented in a sad tone. For her, because of the physical traits from her mother’s side of the family, if she sings for a long period of time with full focus, it uses up a lot of calories. In this battle, she was singing for over an hour. Her life was on the line during the battle as well. So naturally, it used up a significant amount of calories.
If she was to weigh herself now, she has most likely lost around five kilos.
「My focus is completely out. I don’t want to work….」
「Tis been awhile since I’ve been tis exhausted stamina-wise…」
Tatsuya, who has used extra skill for a long period of time and Hiroshi who ended up needing to use two at the same time collapsed on the ground.
「Hey, Haru.」
「Hmm?」
「I’m hungry too.」
「Got it.」
Haruna nodded to Mio’s request and looked around for something they could eat right away. After this, they were definitely getting dragged into a feast but Haruna is always singing during the feast and Mio’s stomach might as well be a black hole. Having a light snack now wouldn’t affect their weight.
She pulled out Behemoth meat that she found and bit into it after heating it up lightly.
「Oh, Haruna, I want one too.」
「I figured Makoto-san would want one as well so I already prepared one.」
「Haruna, I love you!」
「Hiroshi-kun and Tatsuya-san, you’re both hungry right?」
「I guess so. Thanks for da food.」
「Oh, can you take this to El-chan and others? Make sure to share.」
「Okay~」
As the feeling of anxiety lifted off their shoulders, they decided to have a quick break and a snack (although the food was a bit heavy for a snack) before checking how things were up at the temple.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the void…
「… the ones we placed in the west are completely taken out.」
「… Perhaps we should have left more forces back there even if we had to push our resources …」
「But the state of Waldis is too unstable to place a female type monster.」
「… I guess you’re right …」
There was now a space left by the Void Resident who didn’t last very long. To this unexpected situation, the remaining residents discussed in shock.
「Considering the opponent and that incident, the ones that can work on the west have been completely wiped out. To make another move under the disguise of a terrorist attack, we would need to wait for another five years at the bare minimum.」
「Even if we were to cause a terrorist attack, the power of God is currently drawn back. It would be difficult to make an atack in the middle of the town since it will take away a significant amount og our powers. If we mess this up, we will only take damage one-sidedly and the battle will end there.」
「But then, if we are to attack them outside a town, then they will take us down with that enormous unknown force like that time with Barold in Darl.」
「We still have some believers left but unfortunately, the ways we can approach this situation is far too limited on our side. On top of that, people who have been blessed with the sanctuary are useless without a communication tower.」
Everyone fell silent as one of them explained how cornered they were.
「… In the end, what we should do doesn’t change.」
「… You’re right.」
However, after a moment of silence, everyone agreed to the statement one of the Void Resident made.
「Is it possible to predict their movement?」
「Guessing from their actions in Wulls, their next destination is most likely the capital of Lorren, Rupheus.」
「… The great library.」
Hearing the name Rupheus, they started to narrow down the different possible destinations. People who visited the country of sage, Lorren either went to the great library located in Rupheus, the sage academy or the Lorren’s great maze located near the centre of Lorren. Those were the places which people who visited Lorren had business with.
「The moment we thought they stepped into the middle of the continent, they headed in the area that’s difficult for us to approach again…」
One of the Void Resident sighed. Although the party was coming to a place where the Void Residents still had power left, they were once again unable to make any move.
「But if we look at this the other way, it means that for some time, we can delay their progress in these areas.」
To that comment, another Void Resident gave an opinion from a different perspective.
「Yeah, does anyone know the average travelling speed of the group?」
「From what I know, they travelled from Wulls to Darl in ten days. It took them two to three days to get from Darl to Forre with a couple of stops on the way.」
「… That’s pretty fast.」
「It seems that the group’s Golem Chariot is specially customized. If they were going to travel any faster than that, it would have to be something that can fly.」
The place fell silent again as they heard the unexpectedly fast speed which Hiroshi’s group was travelling at.
「However, considering they are headed for the great library, it’s unlikely that they will stay over at Rupheus for only one or two days.」
「Right, it will take them about one week to get from Forre to Lorren, and maybe another week for them to get from Lorren to Markt…」
「It would take them at least one month until they can reach Waldis. I don’t know how long they are intending to stay over at the great library but overall, it should be around two months.」
「Then there shouldn’t be any problem as long as we deal with Waldis within a month.」
As they analysed their current situation, the Void Residents finally started to get their pace back.
「We have lost some of our believers but thanks to the ones in the west giving us some power, we have few plans that we can take action towards. We need to make at least one strike now.」
「I agree. If we crash Waldis, we will manage to significantly chip down on the power of the God of Sun and God of Moon. It’s a bit frustrating that the God of Time and Space and the Land Goddess would be let free but we should be able to make up for that on a later day. If this all goes well, we might be able to get back the fragment that Igreos managed to get his hands on.」
「Then, for now, let’s just keep it to gathering more information about that group. From now on, our plan will focus on Waldis. Our revenge for the ones back in the west will be placed on hold until we finish our business in Waldis.」
「But in place of that, we will do everything we can to crash Waldis.」
Everyone agreed to the words of the one resident who was in charge of keeping the group together. With that, the Void Residents decided on their future plan.
「In that case, we will do what we need to do. To fill this world with holiness!」
「To fill this world with holiness!」
With their motto, they hid their excitement deep within themselves and prepared for the final part of the plan in Waldis.
First of all, this place is connected to a “different world”. However,
“It is connected to the inner dimension”, was the change that they made.
They’re not completely wrong, so it is only between us that there was ever a doubt about the Void Residents keeping that label.
Also, Kongo Unbreakable and Guardian Field are just the same skill flipped over so if an individual obtains one of the skills, the difficulty of obtaining the other decreases greatly.
Connecting with Feng Shui is only done by someone who has sensed the energy of Feng Shui before. Because of this extreme condition, this too wasn’t discovered before.
