Capítulo 51: Eresh the goddess of Death
Eresh: "...
..
.
.
...
.
.
.
what?"
.
.
.
She said with a dumbfounded look...
.
.
.
I was right...
.
.
.
Eresh: " IS THIS IS A JOKE TO YOU, IF YOU DON'T FIGHT ME NOW I'LL-".
Sapphire: " You'll what?".
.
.
I questioned her with grin..
.
.
.
Eresh: ".....

*sigh*
.
What gave me away? "
.
.
.
She no longer looks hostile, but defeated..
.
She really can't harm me..
.
.
.
.
Sapphire: " let me start from the beginning, I know each God has a specific Domain they rule over and your Domain is death so it's natural to assume that you can make me die at will"
.
.
Eresh: "....."
.
.
.
Sapphire: " but I'm still alive, and that got me to the next conclusion, your domain is not death..."
.
.
Eresh: "...."
.
.
Sapphire: " it's those who are dead, isn't it"
.
.
.
.
Eresh: "...."
.
.
.
Sapphire: " in other worlds the souls, I already know that they are your responsibility...
.
.
You are the one responsible for guiding souls after they pass on".
.
.
.
Eresh: "....."
.
.
.
Sapphire: " of course that doesn't mean you that you can't kill anyone, it should be easy for you after all you are a god"
..
.
Eresh: "...."
.
.
Sapphire: " that is of course under certain conditions"
.
.
.
Eresh: "...."
.
.
.
Sapphire: " the next clue came from the temple...
.
.
Although all buildings were torned down, your temple still looks in one piece"
.
.
Eresh: "...."
.
.
.
.
Sapphire: " I also know that despite this kingdom being infested with poisonous and acidic slime, most of the citizens survived"
.
.
.
Eresh: "...."
.
.
.
Sapphire: " which means that they took shelter someplace the slimes can't reach"
.
.
.
Eresh: "....."
.
.
.
Sapphire: " before I continue with that line of thought, I'd like to point out that unless you focus specifically on me there is no way you could have known that I'm a Demon Lord, and despite me moving in the kingdom for While, you didn't make any reaction..."
.
.
.
Eresh: ".... "
.
.
.
Sapphire: " which means you didn't notice me then...
.
.
You noticed me when I entered your temple...
.
.
That means that just like the underworld your temple is also your domain... "
.
Eresh: "..."
.
.
.
Sapphire : " and since it's your domain, it won't be that hard for you to kill all those slimes the moment <they attacked> it back then".
.
.
.
Eresh: "....."
.
.
.
.
Sapphire: " of course the the keyword is <they attacked>, and you defended..."
.
.
.
.
Eresh: "..."
.
.
.
Sapphire: " so in other words you can't kill unless someone made the first move or implied they would first"
.
.
.
.
Eresh: " ....."
.
.
Sapphire: " but I didn't attack I came here through the front door of the temple...
.
.
.
Also you said it your self when I came here that I am your <visitor> not prisoner, otherwise why wouldn't you just kill me instead of bringing me all the way here"
.
.
.
Eresh: "....."
.
.
.
Sapphire: " you also used the word <challenge> and kept asking me to start the fight because that would imply that I am here with hostile intentions and you can use that as loophole to attack me".
.
.
Eresh: "..."
.
.
.
Sapphire: " other wise there was no really no need to run so slowly after me, with our huge rank difference you don't even need that power of your domain to kill me, just one punch and I'm out, and despite you obviously having the ability to change the terrain here, you didn't create any pitfalls, spikes, drop ceilings or any other trap whatsoever. "
.
.
.
.
Eresh: "..... "
..
.
.
.
Sapphire: " did I get anything wrong? "
.
.
.
.
Eresh: "..... "
.
.
.
Sapphire: "..... "
.
.
.
.
.
Eresh:".... "
.
.
.
Sapphire: ".... "
.
.
.
Eresh: " *pft*"
.
.
.
.
She gave a light hearted laugh, now that I got a closer look she looks like a cute teenager, she doesn't seem to be evil..
.
.
.
Eresh: " hah hahaha, no everything you said was accurate down to the core".
.
.
.
Sapphire: " will you keep me trapped here?"
.
.
.
She shook her head..
.
.
.
Eresh: " unless they are my temple maidens, living things aren't allowed here, inviting you over was already stretching the rules"
.
.
It seems I'm in the clear..
.
.
.
Eresh: " You really are impressive Demon Lord, other meat headed Demon Lords aside, no one else was ever able to figure out this much..."
.
.
.
Sapphire: " I heard that excluding Alein, the other gods are taking the wait and see approach, so why did you attack me ".
.
.
.
Eresh: "mmm...
Where did you hear that?".
.
.
Sapphire: " Seid".
.
.
.
Eresh: "!!!!!"
.
.
.
Eresh: " *sigh* I see, no wonder you know that I can't function out of my domain, he probably told you that when you were talking about Aleins power"
.
.
.
I nodded, their is no need to hide anything from her...
.
.
Eresh: " well I honestly don't know much about up there, since I mostly spend my time here, I don't interfere with their discussions much, I wanted you dead to make my Job easier"
.
.
.
Sapphire: " easier?"
.
.
.
Eresh: " *nod*, my job is to help the souls of the dead to move on...
.
.
.
Naturally I can do that with no issue, but when there is a huge catastrophe the number of souls coming down here increases and my job becomes harder..
.
.
I used to manage when I still had temple maidens to help, but after that kingdom fell, my worshipers either died of old age, or started worshiping other gods"
.
.
.
.
Sapphire: " what does that have to do with me?".
.
.
.
Eresh: " Demon Lords are the number one cause of catastrophe, that Atila is especially a headache".
.
.
.
Sapphire: " I see, well I promise not to cause much catastrophes"
.
.
.
Eresh: " shouldn't you say not cause any catastrophes".
.
.
.
Sapphire: " hey if I had to defend myself I won't hold back, apparently including Alein their is a line of people who want my head mounted at their walls".
.
.
.
Eresh: " *sigh* well, I guess that fair"
.
.
.
.
.
Sapphire: " can I ask you something?"
.
.
.
Eresh : " if it's about your curse, then sorry, although I can remove it, you have to be dead first".
.
.
.
Well I thought it might be the case.
.
.
.
Sapphire: " thanks anyway...
.
.
.
.
By the way although I understand that your temple is your domain, weren't you a little too fast at noticing me?"
.
.
.
Her face reddens and she looks slightly embarrassed..
.
.
.
Eresh: " well, because I don't get many visitors now a days, when you entered the temple, I might have jumped excitedly to see who it was....
.
.
.
Imagine my surprise when I was met with a Demon Lord and such and unusual one at that, you know the other Demon Lords wouldn't do anything that would restrict their power, even if it was to counter a curse. "
.
Sapphire: " Well I guess they were not that smart were they? "
.
.
.
Eresh: ". Haha no, demon Lord's where originally monsters, although they did posses superior intelligence than most races, they still were still ruled by their instinct
.
.
.
.
.
.
Sapphire: " glad I'm not the same"
.
.
.
.
And me and the goddess of Death started chatting the night away...
