My obsession with role-playing seems to have distorted the world's aesthetic.

"You bastard...!"

As Rafe attempted to attack, the director immediately activated the spell again, and dozens of jet-black threads rushed towards Rafe. Rafe was caught off guard and was immediately bound by the threads.

Walking unhurriedly to Rafe's side, the director recalled the events while refining his disguise.

Since the Paimon I encountered displayed such a wicked sense of humor, then at this moment...

Seeing Rafe bound by the lines, she immediately had an idea, and Rafe himself, after realizing what was happening, immediately prepared to break free.

Despite his lack of combat skills, he began to use his own power to dismantle the magically fabricated, demon-like energy.

However, the more he tried to dismantle this power, the more alarmed he became, as he was now bound. Olga... why is her energy so similar to that of the Demon God?

Could it be that she isn't some other being similar to herself, but rather one of the seventy-two demon gods alongside herself?

"I have to admit you're quite good at disguising yourself; I really didn't realize you were one of my compatriots."

Upon learning about the nature of that energy, Rafe said that in his mind, the power of the demon god was absolutely impossible to imitate.

That power was imbued with the magic bestowed upon it by the Magic King Solomon. Now that Solomon has vanished, the magic unique to Solomon should now only be possessed by the Demon God.

As for perfectly imitating Solomon's traits?

What a joke! How could such a thing possibly exist on Earth?

Solomon's power is not just the magic of an ordinary magician; it possesses characteristics similar to those of the beings in the Ten Commandments.

Only those with magical skills at the level of King Solomon can add that quality to their own energy.

At this point, Rafe was beginning to believe in the director's identity as a demon god; his assessment of that power was indeed correct.

The original creators were indeed incredibly skilled in magic, but later generations simply followed in their footsteps.

Xia Qing never actually tried to create that kind of method in a proper way. She simply used Rafe's power traits to deduce how to achieve that state through magic without considering the cost.

The power that the director was using was completely impractical, because Xia Qing had no intention of letting her use it in actual combat. Directly outputting magic power and smashing magic cannons into the face would be more cost-effective than using this power in combat.

"The demon god is right beside me!"

At this moment, the doctor in Chaldea changed his expression upon seeing this scene. He hadn't expected that besides Lev, even the director was a demon.

The doctors who were not present were unaware of the director's energy characteristics and could not observe the invisible technique, so they assumed that the director's attack was accomplished through his own power.

"Rafe, the one who laughs last isn't you, Floros, but me, Paimonda!"

After saying this, the director released the spell. That power was indeed terrifying, but it was too immense for him to withstand.

My body seems to be in trouble from using so many powerful magic spells in the past, so there's no point in wasting my magic power on this flashy but impractical spell now.

Upon hearing this, Rafe quietly breathed a sigh of relief. There are demons beyond demons. Although he had already speculated that the director's true identity was a demon god, Rafe still felt much more relaxed after hearing the official confirmation.

Very good, at least it's not some strange thing, it's a demon god on the same side as me.

Mash and Ritsuka, who witnessed this scene, looked at the director with disbelief. Why, why would the director say such a thing?

Wait, this... this isn't the director!

As Fujimaru Ritsuka realized this, so did the doctor. The director had left earlier to challenge Paimon, and now the director who had defeated Paimon was using the methods of a demon god and Paimon's self-proclaimed identity.

Even if you don't want to believe it, the fact is now obvious.

The director... and she transformed into Paimon's form.

The director's inner self has completely become Paimon. Damn it, did that Paimon guy take over Olga's body?!

At this moment, Xia Qing continued to speak in the director's consciousness as Solomon: "If you want to deal with Rafe, you can use this spell to fight the demon god with the power of the demon god."

Upon hearing this, the director nodded slightly and then glanced around the scene.

The doctor gritted his teeth, his expression grim. Ritsuka and Mashu were also ready for battle. Seeing this, the director stretched his neck and looked at Rafe, saying:

"Alright, actually, the being to whom all demons and gods are loyal suspects that you haven't betrayed that original intention, so he sent me to clean up the mess."

Since you've already chosen to continue that plan, there's no need for me to eliminate them anymore, Floros. Take care of them.

As Director Fujimaru Ritsuka spoke in a cold tone, Rafe's lips curled into a wanton smile upon hearing this, even though Olga's true identity had exceeded his expectations.

But that doesn't matter. If Olga were Paimon, she wouldn't betray us, the Demon God Pillars.

Next, let's go after the Chaldea group, the hope for the extinction of humanity.

"I, Floros, am utterly loyal to that lord and would never have the thought of betraying him. The burning of humanity by that lord is the direction that we, the Demon God Pillars, follow."

Seeing the two Chaldea members on guard, Lev walked towards them step by step while talking. Just as Lev took a few steps, the director silently began to mobilize magic power behind him.

Indeed, it was "that being," the remnant soul of the being known as King Solomon, to whom the seventy-two demons served, who doubted that the demons had changed their original intentions.

So, I wasn't lying about everything.

Magic was quickly mobilized at this moment, and the director extended his right palm toward Rafe, a pale blue magic circle appearing in his palm.

Blue spikes appeared instantly and pierced through Rafe's heart.

The director doesn't object to a betrayal of justice in this situation, and Rafe's expression is contorted with rage and pain after being stabbed: "Ughhhhh! Paimon, Paimon, how dare you!"

Steam rapidly billowed out from near the spikes piercing his body, and Rafe's flesh began to gradually disappear from the spot where he was hit.

"Paimon, what on earth are you doing?!"

Rafe disappeared and then reappeared a dozen meters away, looking at the director and questioning him with a tone full of anger.

Chapter 675: Rafe: ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

"We don't need a demon pillar like you, but it seems that the technique worked quite well for you."

"In that case, I'll use this magic trick on you."

Seeing Director Rafe say this, Rafe's expression twisted: "Olga, you betrayed the Demon Pillar!"

Upon hearing this, the director merely gave a cold laugh, while secretly wanting to say something.

It's incredibly satisfying to fool characters who seem like villainous bosses.

Great!

Although a strange switch seemed to have been flipped in his heart, the director on the surface still maintained the Paimon demeanor he was remembered for: "I have never betrayed the Demon God Pillar. I just chose the right path for the Demon God Pillar."

The will that existed has long since lost its original purpose over the long years, and what I seek is King Solomon, who transcends time and space, from the past, before everything happened, whom we served.

Upon hearing this, Rafe was momentarily stunned. Solomon in human history had long since vanished, and what they and the others followed was the will of the Demon God Pillar, including himself, the Human Order Incineration Style: Goetia.

But Paimon actually brought up Solomon at this time... Wait, could Solomon have faked his death? Was that guy hiding and watching the Goetia burn?

Even so, he certainly couldn't have left much of his power behind, otherwise he wouldn't have been powerless to just watch without intervening.

Seeing Paimon severely injured, Rafe nodded with a knowing expression, then looked at the director and said in a persuasive tone:

"I see, I understand. But even if he wants to cause trouble, do you think he's qualified to fight against us right now?"

Before absolute power, wisdom and knowledge are useless without power, Paimon. If I were you, I wouldn't make this choice, Paimon. Don't make a mistake.

?

At this moment, Xia Qing, who was secretly slacking off, looked at Lei Fu with some confusion in her eyes. "You understand? What do you understand?"

Wait, could Olga have gotten into trouble there and been exposed?

Looking at Rafe Xiaqing, a guess immediately formed in his mind, and at this moment, the director's expression instantly became serious.

What did Rafe mean by that? Losing power and wisdom... wait, could it be that he discovered my abilities?

Even with the help of Solomon's wisdom, he was indeed no match for Solomon himself, but he possessed more than just Solomon's wisdom.

If I truly mastered that power, that power whose true name is unknown, I might not be without the possibility of confronting King Solomon.

In his memories of that power, it seemed to be composed of six different abilities, one of which was the wisdom of Solomon.

The most urgent task now is to figure out what the conditions are for calling out that name, and then actually use that ability.

The director was experiencing a mix of emotions, and Rafe, who was deep in thought, was somewhat stunned.

Oh, this.

I was just saying...

Your integrity is so worthless! Just because I said that, you're starting to think about betraying Solomon, whom you're currently loyal to, and swearing allegiance to Goetia?

Looking at the screen, Rafe's expression was somewhat complicated. He said he really hadn't expected this situation before; he simply planned to say a few words and then slip away.

Turns out, Paimon actually started considering it from afar. Now what should I do? Just sit back and watch quietly? Or should I launch a sneak attack while Paimon is thinking?

The problem is, what if Paimon decides to return to the righteous path and stop his evil ways of pledging allegiance to Solomon if the attack actually happens?

At this moment, the director had become the focus of everyone's attention, while the doctor was completely bewildered in Chaldea.

So... Rafe knew I was there all along?

Rafe's words made it hard for the doctor not to draw conclusions, and his face turned grim as he quickly began to think.

First of all, the seventy-two demon gods who used to follow him seem to have changed their allegiance.

Secondly, Rafe knew his true identity and considered himself a useless piece of trash, not worth mentioning, now that he had lost his powers.

Since the matter involves demons, it might be much easier to handle in a way, since I haven't given up all my power.

While the doctor was pondering, the director had already provided the answer.

"Rafe, if that's the case... there's only one answer left!"

Looking at Director Rafe in front of him, he stood up and spoke loudly. Rafe, who was startled by the sudden increase in volume, instantly perked up.

The doctor didn't sense anything was wrong at the time. Although there was a Kamen Rider series in the Type-Moon universe, the Kamen Rider Build with this line wouldn't start airing until next year.

"I will...make you loyal to me!"

The director pointed his right index finger at Rafe and grinned. Rafe, who thought he was about to pledge allegiance to Goetia, took a step back and gasped.

Goodness, Olga, you always manage to come up with something new.

"The void is connected to the soul..."

After making his statement demanding Rafe's loyalty, the director immediately began chanting a grand magic spell. He gave her a wary look, and Rafe ran away without saying a word.

Escaping is shameful but useful, and besides, this time he has encountered a treacherous demon god, so Goetia will forgive him.

The properties of imaginary numbers were brought to their fullest potential at this moment, and Leif used spatial teleportation techniques comparable to those used to injure people with bombs to escape from Fuyuki.
