Oi, Mari-chan! To the right!

Un!

Logan relays the thoughts that come through the rocks to Mari. How was Aur able to know where they were and how exactly is he communicating with them was something that Logan did not know, but to be honest, he doesnt have to understand.

Right now, only one thing was important to him.

Little girls are AMAZING!!!

It was the urge to share his overwhelming happiness with the entire world, whether it wanted it or not.

FUCKING! AMAZING!

Mari raises her tiny fists high into the air and innocently repeats after him. While doing that, she barely jumped over a stone wall that appeared before her out of nowhere.

If she was still in her older form, she might have started to ask unnecessary questions like is it really okay for me to get younger again? or What if I wont be able to go back to my actual age?, but the current Mari was different. Both her mind and body are reverting back to her five-year old self, so she didnt care as much about the complicated adult stuff.

To Logan, this situation presented quite a dilemma. He was taking care of Mari ever since she came to the Dungeon as an actual kid, but as she grew older, the two of them drifted more and more distant, which was the natural way of things. So, knowing this, is it really okay for him to be enjoying this turn of events so much?

No, it shouldnt be like that. I cannot be like that. But

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST MY LOLITA MARI IS BACK!!!!!!!!

Once again, Logan raised his fists in happiness. Mari had no idea who exactly this Jesus Fucking Christ guy was, but if Logan was so happy then he must be a really nice person.

Still in high spirits, Logan deflected all of the elemental attacks conning at them from every direction.

NO TOUCHING THE LOLI YOU FUCKED UP PEDOPHILE!!!

Even if he was an omnipotent God, inflicting Bad Touch upon little girls was strictly forbidden under the punishment by death. That was Logans most important rule. What was that? How can he have such a rule if hes a Lolicon himself? You see, heres the important distinction: while Logan is a proud Lolicon, he is not a pedophile.

THIS ONE IS MINE! GO FIND YOUR OWN!!!

He is not a pedophile. Not in the slightest.

For some reason his body was filled to the brim with power he has never felt before. There was no need for him to think about the reason, because it was obvious: right now, he was protecting the best little girl in the world

But whats this? Do I smell a new loli so close by? This is the smell of a ten thousand years old loli C-Could this be a new challenger to Mari-chans perfection?!

Just the thought made him lick his lips in a very suggestive manner.

Hey, Logan?

Y-Yes?! What is it?

Mari suddenly called out to Logan, snapping him back to reality from his fantasy world.

The attacks. Theyve stopped. Why is that?

But she was not going to reprimand him for his pervy ways. She just wanted to ask a simple question.

Ah, my sweet Mari-chan , you really are such an angel wait, that can wait. To answer your question, Im not sure. Maybe he just gave up?

Is it because Logan managed to avoid all of his attacks from before? Either way, the Sun god was not attacking them anymore.

Why would an all-knowing, almighty being such as I give up? Dont get so full of yourself, demonic filth.

Just then, the figure of the Sun God appeared right in front of them. So he was aiming for a surprise attack that they wont be able to avoid? However

Hello, nice to meet you.

Yunis all-slashing slash went just above the tip of Maris head when she bowed to greet the Sun God.

Dont you realize that its useless? Youre only wasting Yunis skills.

Disappointed, Logan throws a few flames his way.

Dont tell me you actually cant use any of her Sword Skills? Cause if so, then slashing everything that comes into your sight is not that scary at all. Its just pitiful.

Logans flames which were supposed to burn everything they touched were cut down and disappeared. But that was it. If he was fighting against the real Yunis, the slashes that took down the flames would have cleaved Logan in half at the same time.

See? This is just laughable.

Therefore Loga could stall him as much as he wanted just by throwing his flames at him over and over and over again. Moreover, it looked like he was unable to move his main body while controlling the other ones which made it even easier for them because they had only his attacks to worry about.

Yes. It appears that my current abilities are not enough to end your lives.

He finally admitted it.

But at the same time youre also unable to harm me with your pathetic powers. Or would you like to test your luck and try it? Come and beat me with that dumb luck of yours.

Logan halts in place, eyeing the Sun God who spreads his arms invitingly with a suspicious gaze. With Maris luck on their side, even a chance that was originally like one to ten thousand should become fifty-fifty. What the have to keep in mind is that theyve never thought the Sun God before and never won against him before, and Laws are not something that can be used to turn zero into one.

Its risky as hell, but worth a shot. Lets go, Mari-chan!

U, Un!

Logan pushes Maris back and rushes ahead. Where was he to go and what he should do? He was informed about neither of those things.

Well, no matter. If boss managed to fight this guy, we should be able to do it as well!

But that optimistic thought made Logan cast all doubts aside for now.

Just as I thought.

But then the Sun God smiled.

That barrier of yours wont last forever.

Logan realized that they have fucked up when he saw that the flames around Maris body began to flicker and fade. He didnt want them to attack. That asshole was merely buying himself time by talking to them!

Fuck! Mari, stop, dont go closer to him!

Screaming, Logan hastily grabs Mari and runs further into the stone passage as more and more of Eldavs flames slowly disappeared.

Too slow.

The last of the flames faded into nothingness and then the Sun God snapped his fingers.

Wa.!

And a moment later

Faster faster!

Mari simply grabbed Logans horns and frolicked happily on top of his head.

Huh?

Huh?

The Sun God and Logan stupidly exclaimed at the same time.

This is preposterous! Theres no way blind luck would get you this far!

The Sun God repeatedly snaps his fingers, but no matter how many times he did that, nothing happened (TL Note: Check the gauntlet, Thanos) despite him possessing the authority to rule the entire continent. If he so wished, he could snap his fingers ten thousand times and Mari should die ten thousand times as a result. A Gods authority is not something that can be bypassed or disabled. And yet, by some miraculous turn of fate, Mari was still alive, swinging happily on Logans horns.

What the fuck is going on in here?

Even Logan did not know what was happening here.

So like, what is that?

What do you mean?

Aur continued to play the fool when Lilu inquired what was exactly happening with her head between his knees.

Even if you wanted to use the treasures you gathered for Marina, you should have none of them left, right? One by one, you used them all in previous Dungeons, including the branch you gave to Chiru as a marital offering. So how did you managed to pull something like that off?

Lilu continues to pry as she twists her head back to look at Aur.

The creature made by Spina.

Aur said, squeezing his knees around Lilus head.

Oh yeah, there really was something like that. But it was totally useless to us, right?

Lilu frowns, remembering the abomination that had the characteristics of both a swallow and a shellfish.

What are you talking about? Its being useful as we speak.

Aur points his finger towards Mari shown on the watery screen.

Eh? Come again?

Curse Evasion.

Preventing a deadly attack that cannot be avoided or defended against is actually very easy to counter. Just shift its target.

Although it might not work on the Sun God himself, it is not difficult to force death onto other beings. And all this time he failed to notice the thousand of small scales that were stuck to Maris clothes. Well in his defense it must be said that they are smaller than a fingertip so they were easy to miss. As long as he wont realize they are there, he wont be able to harm Mari no matter what tricks he might pull out of his sleeve.

His authority allows him to kill everything no matter what it is. That is why to him it makes no difference if it is a person or a tiny magical creature.

He cant even make that distinction. That wouldnt have happened if he truly was almighty and all-knowing.

He is almighty, therefore he has absolute confidence in his abilities. And ultimately, that is going to be his undoing.
