The legendary Lufas Maphaal continues on her journey as new information arises that the sword country Laevateinn has summoned a hero...successfully this time! However, it seems that the devilfolk are also aware of this...?
The hero, Sei, the very hope of humanity, and his party are in danger of getting wiped out by the devilfolk before their adventure has even begun!
But there are plenty more Twelve Heavenly Stars to bring back into the fold, too. Vanaheim, the original home of the heaven-winged, has been taken over by Parthenos the Maiden, and Scorpius the Scorpion has fully allied with the devilfolk! Will the other former members of the Twelve Heavenly Stars come back peacefully? Or are there more unexpected events in store for Lufas?!

Although my fight with Dina had been unexpected, I’d managed to get her to submit. Currently, I was confirming her stats. The stats I’d seen before were fake, so I didn’t actually know Dina’s true strength.

I wasn’t truly doubting her or anything, but Dina did still seem as if she were hiding something. So I decided it wouldn’t be a bad idea to get a firm grasp of her abilities, just in case.

That was how her stats went, but...

It was great that I’d managed to see Dina’s real stats, but they were really imbalanced. She had only bothered with back line classes, and she also had several classes at level 200, which you would normally have to pay for. On top of that, her equipment only served to stretch her INT stat even further. I could only say that she was being really thorough.

Her attack power and HP were far lower than what I would expect from a level 1000 player, but her INT stat alone was higher than any stat-boosting could get you. She wasn’t quite at the level Megrez had been in his prime, but she was still ridiculous. However, this meant that she’d be easy prey for Libra.

After the fight, Dina and I cooperated and somehow managed to fool Libra and Aries, who of course came chasing after us. We said that the planet was an attack from someone somewhere else, and that I’d dealt with it for now.

Actually, me dealing with it wasn’t a lie. It was just that Dina had been the one who’d attacked.

Also, this didn’t really matter, but Dina had gone back to her usual blue-haired look at some point.

She was using the Water element spell “Illusion;” it used mist to show others an illusion and could even change one’s form. In the game, all the spell did was raise the target’s evasion rate. At least, that was how I understood it.

People did complain, saying that if that was the case, why not change the player avatar like the lore indicated? But there wasn’t a peep from the company about changing it.

Apparently, having two affinities was a racial skill for half-elves. For Dina, they were Metal and Water.

I was told that half-elves had good INT and MND growth, though not as good as elves. They also had decently balanced growth in everything else, though not as good as humans. So, not only did they have good stats for magic and heaven-arts use, they even got two affinities. And unlike normal elves, they could eat meat. Since elves were subjects of the forest, they couldn’t do so. That was why Megrez had such low HP even though he stat-boosted with items, and thus was one-shottable by Brachium.

In the game, elves had a definite handicap, since they couldn’t eat meat. On top of that, people only realized that fact after they’d started to stat boost... In other words, after they’d reached level 1000. It was a truly mean-spirited trap.

At any rate, now that Aigokeros had joined the party and Dina was once again my subordinate, we entered Tanaka and left Gjallar behind.

Those materials didn’t exist in the game, but it should be possible now. Materials only possible because of my knowledge from ‘the other side’...

In the game, it was impossible to improve or incorporate other materials into a golem once it was completed. If you wanted a golem with new materials, you needed to build an entirely new one. However, it might’ve been possible now. This world resembled the game, but it wasn’t the game, after all.

“By the way, Aigokeros. Do you have any useful information? You were with the devilfolk, so you should have heard something.”

I was sitting on a sofa I’d prepared in the car. Aigokeros sat across from me in human form. Aries was next to him, gnawing on some corn I’d bought for lunch in Gjallar.

At first, he attempted to just eat some grass that was nearby, but I stopped him. I couldn’t let him do that in human form. It made it look like I was abusing him. Also, apparently Aigokeros’ favorite meal was dandelions. The sight of a gentleman in his prime eating a dandelion... It was so incredibly surreal. It only reinforced the fact that even if they looked human, they were still a sheep and a goat.

“Well... First, I know of another of the Twelve Heavenly Stars who was working with the devilfolk.”

“Oh? Who else was there? Speak.”

“Scorpius of the Scorpion became a vengeful demon and is fully supporting the devilfolk. Unlike me, where our relationship was simply one of mutual interest, she desires to destroy humanity so much that she probably does not mind becoming a simple tool of the devilfolk. Hrotti—the country that the ‘Adventurer King,’ Phecda, founded—was destroyed by her hands.”

I somehow managed to fight the desire to facepalm but couldn’t stop myself from heaving a sigh.

Scorpius of the Scorpion was...well, exactly as it said on the tin. She was a scorpion monster. Her monster name was ‘Emperor Berserk Scorpion.’ Nickname: ‘The Berserk Ruler.’ She could apply poison to her normal attacks and sprayed poison mist. Even if you were already poisoned, she could poison you more, turning it into ‘lethal poison’... Basically, she was a poison specialist who fought by poisoning you, poisoning you again, and then poisoning you .

She didn’t have any other means of attack, but she was really, really tough, so she forced her enemies into a war of attrition. You might feel relieved, since her attack power was low, but once she lost a certain amount of HP, she went into a berserk state and attacked with amazing momentum. She was quite nasty as a boss.

But to me, she wasn’t actually that scary an opponent.

But to towns and countries these days, there probably wasn’t a scarier enemy out there. After all, she could spread her poison mist over a wide area. If she really tried to kill an entire country, she’d be really good at it.

“Ahh, Scorpius... She really worshiped Miss Lufas, didn’t she?”

After finishing his corn, Aries spoke up understandingly. “If all that turned into hate, then she could be a very dangerous individual right now.”

Libra nodded in agreement. “Yes. As she is now, she’s so immersed in her revenge that she won’t even listen to us. In fact, her hatred is so great she broke through her level constraints. Right now, she’s level 900. Sorry, but I am no match for her.”

I glanced over at Libra and asked her a question. “Libra, what would happen if you tried to fight her?”

“...I predict my probability of winning to be around 62%. Using my past data on Scorpius to project her current level of strength, I believe my battle capability exceeds hers. Although a preemptive use of Brachium should shave away a lot of her HP, it will not be enough to kill her. After that, it will be a simple comparison of our statuses and abilities. In other words, a question of whether Scorpius or I will fall first.”

But Aries should’ve been able to match Scorpius’ poison DoT with his Mesarthim. No matter how high her defenses were, it was basically meaningless in the face of percent damage.
