Reincarnation in Another World Starting from Bones ~The Bare Hero Rise from a Skeleton (WN): Chapter 432

 

Appropriateness of the Vessel



"Quickly, tell me where Jeanne is!


 We need Jeanne!


 There is no other vessel like Jeanne!"



 I'm not sure what happened, but Mephistopheles started getting angry.



"Do you really want Lucifer’s vessel that much?"


"Why did you know that?"


"That’s obvious! It’s because I’m an Esper!


 I know what you think!"



 I had heard from Shiro that Mephistopheles was trying to summon Lucifer, so I thought it would be a good idea to throw a sickle on him, and it seems to have worked.



"I'm sure you don't have that kind of skill...


 Could it be that it is the product of an incomprehensible title such as [hero] despite being a bone, and is a by-product of a supernatural phenomenon in which a hero, is a symbol of the holy, even though you are a monster skeleton?"



 Mephisto is saying something that I don't understand at all, but it seems interesting so I decide to take advantage of it.



"That’s right! Even though I am a monster, I was born with holy attributes!


 I am a hero, this Cedric-sama!"


"I never thought that there were people other than Jeanne who had both holy and dark powers without drinking from the Holy Grail..."



 Somehow, Mephistopheles is shocked.



"However, in your case, it seems that your s*xual tendencies are stronger than your holy attribute.


 What? The man who cut the skin of his d*ck too much!


 I thought you could become Lucifer-sama's vessel, but I can't let an idiot like you become Lucifer-sama's vessel!"


"The skin of my c*ck has nothing to do with it!"



 I vehemently deny it.



"After all, there is no one more suitable to be Lucifer-sama’s vessel than Jeanne, who was said to be a virgin!


 Yes! There is no one who can match the fallen archangel Lucifer like Jeanne!"



 I don't really understand, but Mephisto is talking excitedly.



"Jeanne, Jeanne, you’re so annoying!


 No matter how you look at it, I'm probably bigger!


 She's a coward who is stealing my credit!"


"A coward, that's fine! If you've fallen for the devil, you'll have to lie and cheat just like the devil does!"



 Hmm? What do you mean by falling for the devil?


 Wasn't Joan of Arc the hero who saved France?



[Master! On Earth, Jeanne was burned to death for being a witch!


 Afterward, she was celebrated as a saint by the Catholic Church, but in reality, she died with great hatred towards France and the Catholic Church, who had betrayed her!


 In the case of Jeanne in this world, after being burned at the stake, she was resurrected by Anastasia's blood, so she was not recognized as a saint by Catholics and only had a deep grudge against the Frankish kingdom and the Crusaders. Well, she had completely lost her mind!]



 Shiro spoke directly into my head.


 Were Shiro and I able to communicate telepathically?


 Let's not think too hard about it. After all, this is Shiro, a genius.



[Then why was Jeanne, a demon, helping Anastasia?]


[Isn’t that because she is the benefactor who saved her life?]


[Indeed.]



 I honestly agree.



[And this battle is already over!]



 Shiro continued and said something unexpected.



[Hmm? What do you mean?]



 I look at Shiro silently.



[By the time Master blows Jeanne-san away with Ori Hime Morning Star, this battle is already over!]


[Why?]


[It seems that Mephisto desperately needed Jeanne's body in order to summon Lucifer!]


[Wasn't the body of the Demon King born from the dungeon used as a vessel for Lucifer?]


[In this 35th level, the amount of mana to summon Lucifer was probably overwhelmingly insufficient.


 In this world, the Black Death class may have been the limit.


 After all, there seems to be a considerable difference in the amount of mana between the [Silent Forest] and the southern continent where [Jet Black Forest] are located, or rather, the world where Britney Anee-sama resides!


 Summoning across different worlds requires a considerable amount of mana!]


[I know about the [Jet Black Forest], but what's the [Silent Forest]?]



 Somehow, I came across a word that I didn't know.



[It’s a huge forest on the western continent above the southern continent!


 From there, a large amount of holy attribute magic essence is being discharged!


 By the way, many angels from Earth are summoned to the western continent!]



 Shiro then taught me something amazing.



[If the [Silent Forest] on the western continent is emitting holy-attribute magic essence, does that mean that the [Jet-Black Forest] on the southern continent is emitting dark-attribute magic essence?]


[That's right! By the way, the ones who manage the [Silent Forest] are the elves, and the ones who manage the [Jet Black Forest] are the dark elves!"


[Indeed, Gabrielle, the Queen of the [Jet Black Forest], is a dark elf...]


[That's right! Even in the southern continent, where the dark magic essence is overflowing, it was impossible to summon a devil greater than Beelzebub!


 On the 35th level, where the amount of mana is low, Lucifer is bigger than Beelzebub. In order to summon Lucifer, the king of devils, it seems that a vessel that was suitable for Lucifer was needed!]


[Do you mean that Lucifer's vessel could not serve as the Demon King who was scheduled to be born in this dungeon?]


[That’s right!]



 Shiro nodded heavily.



[Does that mean that the battle was already over because I blew Jeanne away?]


[Right! The most important point in this battle was to never allow Lucifer to be summoned to this world!]


[So, it’s because of me?]


[That's right! As expected of Master!


 Master had already ended the battle before it even started!


 This is Sun Tzu's art of war!


 Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win!]



 Shiro, who loves history, said something, but it was too difficult so I ignored it.
