Chapter 41: The Charming Devil, the Succubus 3
Despite being restrained by the succubus, Piyo managed to approach the crystal.
-x-x-x-x-x-
The crystal ball hit the ground with great force and the sound of a loud crash was heard. A large crack appeared in the center of the crystal and broken pieces flew through the air, shining.
The succubus, who was right in front of me, looked at the altar.
"Damn, I was so close!"
"Are you sure? If you don't hurry, you won't be able to return to Hell."
Sharin, who had regained consciousness, spoke to the succubus.
Having lost its energy source, the door becomes smaller and smaller quickly.
"I'll remember this!"
With that said, she slipped her body through the closing hole and left. My blurred vision finally cleared and I could clearly hear the sounds around me again.
"Now, get up quickly, you sorcerer!"
"Ahhh, we were so close."
The hooded and scary old man was taken away by the guards, the Orcs were detained by reinforcements who arrived later.
"Piyo, good job, you did an excellent job!"
"Hehe, I did it!"
I ran to Piyo who was standing next to the altar.
"But Alicegawa, the crystal ball was broken. That was your hope, wasn't it?" (N/E: Alicegawa is the protagonist's name being pronounced wrong.)
Sharin put the pieces together apologetically.
"Well, that's true, but now there's hope that I can go home. There's more than one of these things around the world, right?"
There must be other items that can open doors to other worlds. The priority now was to calm the commotion.
Some of the remaining demons were defeated and the rest left the city. The captives were released and peace finally returned to the city.
"Thank you very much, heroes. Thanks to you, the city was saved."
"Yes, as expected of heroes. I knew from the beginning that you would do it."
The lord and his aides have completely changed their attitude and are now saying good things. As thanks, we received gold coins, jewels, swords and cloaks.
