Evil God Chapter 61

What should you do to become stronger?
General training.
Muscle training, practice swinging, and practice battles can help you gradually become stronger.

However, the stronger you grow, the harder it becomes to get stronger.
There is such a thing as a talent limit, and one common opinion is that it growing gets harder as you approach it.

At that time, what should you do?
The answer is simple.
You just need to defeat a strong enemy.

Real battles help you grow much faster than training.
Of course, it won’t be helpful if your enemy is too weak.
In that case, you wouldn’t get any experience points.

Yufilia and Tiraiza somehow managed to defeat a Maou while still imperfect.
Jamie and Iris possess skills that aren’t inferior to them.
There aren’t many enemies that will help them grow.

If you ask them to think of a strong enemy, humanity will first think of demons.
Demons are the long time enemies of humans.
They’re their archenemy, and they won’t stop fighting until the other doesn’t exist anymore.

The cycle at which the Maou is born is random.
It can range anywhere from half a year to decades after the last one was defeated.

Since the last Maou was defeated, it’s been about a year.
Although it’s not like it definitely won’t reappear, the chances of a new one being born again in such a short period is low.

Therefore, it won’t be possible for them to raise their levels with demons.
Of course, there are surviving demons.
However, it won’t be easy to find them.

Besides them, other strong enemies would be dragons.
However, there are few survivors of the Dragon race.

In addition to that, they have a friendly relationship with humans.
If someone tried to hunt them, it’d turn into an international problem.

"Fumu. They seem to be doing a considerably harsh training."

Jeko and the old man get close to me.
From the roof of the school building, I looked down at the people training.
I can see Yufilia and the others.

"Ah, but when humans get to their level of strength, their growth slows down. At this rate they won’t make it."
"They need a strong enemy. However, enemies like those are hard to find."

To the old man’s words, I float a smile.

"Yeah, that’s true. Now that I think about it, there seem to be many strong enemies in a number of dungeons."

When I say that unnaturally, Jeko opens his eyes.

"Oh! That dungeon will be the perfect training spot for them. As expected of Ashtal-sama."

Jeko raises a voice of praise.
We evil gods are currently managing 5 dungeons.

The difficulty of each of the dungeons are different.
The monsters, and the strength of the boss are of course, different

Within them is the most difficult dungeon.
The Kenjian dungeon currently has a high level of difficulty, so much that even Yufilia and the others would have trouble with it.

"We’re not doing that."

However, the old man instantly denied it.

"Eh?"

I tilt my head.

"It might be perfect for them right now, but once they grow a bit stronger there’s a need to make it stronger, or else they’ll find it lacking. In order to adapt to them, we’d have to gradually release stronger and stronger monsters."
"Can't we just do that?"

To Jeko's question, the old man shakes his head to the side.

"It is possible, but that dungeon doesn’t exist just to train them."

The old man is strict.

"Changing levels to match you, a convenient dungeon like that would be thought of as strange. You aren’t saying that we should do that are you?"

The old man *zuitu* brings his face closer to me.

"N,n,n,n,o way."

When I panic and deny him, the old man made a satisfied expression.

"You seem to have helped them out on various occasions, but remember that we’re are trying to get people to come to dungeons. Our ultimate goal is for people to come to the Dark Temple."

The old man looks down at Yufilia and the others.

"Whether or not his country collapses is up to them. I’m not sure how I feel about spoiling too much."
"I’m don’t think I’ve been spoiling them though."

I go *mu* and argue.

"That's fine. We’ve lent humanity our help on multiple occasions, but only when it seemed they were about to be destroyed. We’ve been doing too much lately."
"But at this rate they won’t make it."

When I mention my concerns,the old man nodded with a composed expression.

"They know that too. However, take a look at their faces, do they look like they in despair?"

Told by the old man, I take another look at the 4 of them.

In Yufilia’s emerald green eyes, I her strength of will seems to be there as usual.
It’s not the expression of someone in despair.

Tiraiza’s amber eyes were filled with motivation.

With her purple ponytail shaking around, Jamie was having a practice battle with Yufilia.
If anything, she’s smiling and doesn’t look cornered at all.

Iris was *mokumoku* casting magic.
From her blue eyes, I couldn’t feel her normal air headedness, and she was fired up.

"Rather, they look really hopeful?"

I give my frank opinion.

"They have the objective of getting stronger. They also have an idea of where they can find a strong enemy."
"Hou, they had that idea?"
"Yes. Let’s try going there."

The old man says casually.

"Us?"
"Before they get permission to use that place, we need to go there and make sure there aren’t any problems. The current administrator of that place is the director, Serena."

While we were having that conversation, Serena appeared on the roof with a huge key that couldn’t fit in her hand.

"Sorry I made you wait."

Serena reverently greeted us.

The key in her hands is decorated with a dragon design.
I was familiar with that key.

"Well then, let’s go to the last legacy of the ancient empire, its only facility that’s still active, the Crystal Tower."
