282 – Surprise-1
Looking at the Demon King’s ability to possess, the extent of the attack on the imperial family could be predicted in advance.
The reason the senators turned into vampires and attacked them was because they were under advanced hypnosis, and considering that the imperial family had no resistance at all, unlike Reinhardt’s characters, the danger was even greater.
“Kwaaa!!”
Some people around the Red Sanctuary also scream. Nevertheless, no one was concerned about or treated the screaming beings.
[You hid demon energy and lurked the demons. There is also a hiding ability, but it is more of a hint.]
Only the Great Devil can control so many demons. However, it was difficult to believe that the way hypnosis was added was entirely the work of the Great Devil.
‘…It’s a strange feeling. ‘I can instinctively know it.’
Beyond the Demon King, I was able to predict and understand what kind of people the Demon King’s descendants were and what abilities they were using.
I could have dismissed it as being due to the experience of fighting or confronting them multiple times.
Information was provided in a way that seeped in rather than the knowledge emerging.
“Everyone evacuate!”
Those who led the evacuation were non-combatants Lumine and Ameri.
At the time the Red Sanctuary was established, the distinction between demons and humans was so simple that even children could distinguish them.
{Lumine investigation! Raise your divinity! I will unleash a barrier!}
“I will pray.”
While Ameri evacuated everyone with the imperial palace wizard, Lumine put her hands together and prayed.
Red Sanctuary, which causes damage to demons, is a trade-off for its conditions, and the strength of the Sanctuary is weaker than that of the magic barrier.
So now it was necessary for two saints to trap the devil’s minions once again.
“…Light…!”
The same was true for Lumine, whose divinity improved through training.
Divinity shone from each feather of the wing, as if an angel had truly descended.
“…Angela…!”
Angela, with her wings overlapping together, soon becomes covered with a sacred sacred area on top of the dark red sanctuary.
The demons who tried to escape the Red Sanctuary by breaking down the walls and doors melted as soon as they touched the sacred area.
In a more compressed sanctuary than the Red Sanctuary, the saints confined the devil’s descendants.
{What are you doing!? Don’t just sit back and watch, treat the injured!!}
“Ah, I understand!!”
The priests who were able to see Angela began to treat her in unison due to her vicious actions.
Even the venerable Emperor immediately followed the orders of Angela, the legendary saint and her Virgin Mary, without resistance.

“＜…You look like a tough galboy＞”
Aria Spiel shook off the blood from her holy sword and glared at the dismembered body of the fake princess.
If you are an ordinary demonic beast, if you crush it like that, even if you don’t add divinity, it will die without being able to regenerate.

However, that filthy mischievous spirit did not feel any pain even though it was cut into pieces by the holy sword inside the sanctuary, so it immediately formed her body.
“You are her. “A greedy b*tch who monopolized my fiancée just because she met him a little early…!”
Before the vocal cords, even the six sides of her mouth were not properly formed, and Mine, who was presumed to be a succubus, uttered a taunt.
In just a blink of an eye, the demon’s body was restored to the size of minced meat.
Aria goes beyond being restored and destroys the surrounding terrain like a giant monster.
‘’
Perhaps it was because her resonance became stronger due to her jealousy and hatred, but Black Aria’s knowledge of her from the first episode greatly helped White Aria feel uncomfortable with her current situation.
‘…There was definitely a sense of being cut and attacked with divinity.’
She could have thought of it as a familiar or an alter ego, but in that case, the shock of divinity would have been transmitted to her soul.
But that b*tch didn’t scream once even though she was hit hard.
She made a sound, but she was unable to withstand the pain, so she did not scream, but merely moaned as smoke.
“Aria! That guy is a hallucination!! “The main body is somewhere else!!”
Leonardo shouted with confidence as he cut down the charging demons with a whip-like sword.
“”
Even Black Aria was not immediately convinced and asked back.
Although the high-level demons were holding out, this was a gathering place of sacred power that was being activated from Leo’s Red Sanctuary, Lumine’s Sanctuary, and even the Divine Realm.
It may be understandable to demonstrate hypnosis to the extent of deceiving one’s hearing and vision, but reproducing the sensation of touch, smell, and impact was impossible unless the Demon Lord’s body came.
“Don’t imagine!! Just trust me!!”
When he saw Aria’s eyes trembling like his own during her first session, Leonardo had no choice but to push forward with an illogical argument.
In this crisis situation, there was no time or space to provide a logical explanation.
Rather, explaining it could have stimulated the imagination and created a further crisis.
Even though it may sound like nonsense, the strategy of appealing to emotions was the best strategy for now.
“It may seem crazy, but first, me…!”
“”
And for Ariaspil, trust and favor in Leonardo were truly an effective means of removing all these doubts.
The hallucinatory monster, which feeds on delusions of fear and denial and strengthens its image, shrank for a moment.
“We have to find the main body!! “Once the main body is taken care of, all these demons will disappear!”
Like the two Aria, Leonardo’s resonance with the Demon King was now growing stronger.
At least the people around here are archdemons, vampire lords, and succubus queens.
I couldn’t say for sure, but I was certain that these guys were mixed up.
Unlike berserkers, those guys have a weak point.
“Where is the main body?!”
Marken asked a question while blocking the attack that came at Leo with his shield.
Strategically and circumstantially, there will be no place here, and if the radius is greater than that of an average Necromancer, the location will not be detectable immediately.
“Exactly… I don’t know! “The only thing that matters is that it’s in the northeast…!”
Even though the bond with the Demon King became stronger than before, detection at the level of a location tracker was impossible.
At best, compass-level tracking was Leo’s limit.
“Boo…There’s an armory in the northeast! “It’s our family’s armory!!”
Alex, who was holding on by brandishing his own weapon as there were no personnel or birds to command, gave out information by shouting like that.
Regulus and Louis the Knight were by his side, helping him by shooting magic and arrows, but the demons he was dealing with were of a different class from the demon beasts he had faced so far.
‘Even if I blow my head off. Even if the heart is blown out, it regenerates and runs at you.’
It’s not that they don’t die, it’s that demons rush into evil as if the concept of death itself doesn’t exist.
It would be impossible to endure this far even in the middle of nowhere.
“Thank you for your information cooperation.”
Ajin expressed his gratitude by chopping down all the surrounding demons with a single stroke of his fingernail. Due to the dragon’s claws that scattered the mana, the demons were delayed in recovery, albeit for a while.
“Father, mother, mother. Looks like I’ll have to fly. “Teleportation is dangerous now.”
In the current realm where the divinity of the Sanctuary and the demonic power of Hornagak are mixed and condensed, instantaneous movement across space is very risky.
Ain, holding Chris’s scales and Wyvern’s ivory, inserted them into his own skin.
Scales sprouted all over his body like a skin disease, and his physique had grown to a level that could not be compared to that of a wyvern.
A large flying beast that could not be said to be a complete dragon, but could never be thought of as a wyvern, shouted to the group of warriors.
“Let’s get on.” “I will fly.”
[…I think you raised one of your real daughters amazingly.]
Even the wise man who created the type art himself was impressed by ‘Ain’s’ judgment and action skills.
Obviously, he didn’t expect results like this when he used it, but Ain had already long since transcended the concept of a familiar.
“I want to ride right away, but…!”
“The enemy and there are too many people left!”
The moment Leonardo and Ariasviel were about to run to the demons, demons in all directions rushed towards them at once.
It was like seeing a tidal wave of poison, and it was impossible to deviate from the path with an ordinary sword strike.
We were able to clear the way for a while with firepower, but there were too many civilians and colleagues to use such beams or explosions right now.
‘…Should we use new technology now…’
Both Leo and Ariasviel were in conflict for a while.
Using Leo’s newly developed unique magic or Aria’s auror technology, which was no different from magic, it was not a task to clear the path safely.
However, in this skirmish, it was clear that if the original magic was revealed, the main body would immediately think of a countermeasure, so I hesitated.
‘＜…This is not the time to hesitate…!＞’
At that time.
Bababababaak!
What stopped my hesitation was the darkness of the dragon that threw the poisonous daggers that rained down like wind and rain.
Pooooo!!
The one who got rid of the worries was Sun-ae’s follower who exploded by quickly touching Mine.
“Go quickly! “We can take care of this.”
Even the Great Devil’s servants who were close to immortality had their mana itself decomposed and melted by Chris’ dragon poison.
Chris confidently cleared the way with one arm that turned into a dragon. The , Wrapped in bandages, boasted its majesty and was pushing away enemies with only its venomous aura.
“My blood is now boiling for the God of Pure Love! Long live pure love!!”
Rios, who was excited because his blood circulation was too fast due to the pseudo-blood fighting technique, exploded his enemies upon contact like a fanatic.
No matter how great the evil was, it was impossible to realize the illusion of instantly recovering something that had been exploding from the inside for several minutes.
“If you just defeat the main body, won’t you win? “Go quickly!”
“Leo, training with you was more exciting than now! “Don’t worry, just go!”
Marken and Gladio also showed off their trained skills and cut down all the enemies heading towards Ain.
“…Okay! Please believe me!”
“Don’t worry! “She definitely won’t let that woman live!”
Leaving an overly reassuring remark, Leo and Ariasviel rode up to Ain.
“I will fly. It will break through the ceiling, so be careful of head injuries. “Dad, Mom, Mother.”
“Wait a minute, look at the ceiling…!”
Without even having time to worry about the emperor’s worries, Ain burst through the ceiling and soared through the sky.
Soon, the sprinkler was activated by shock, and Rios smiled lovingly along with his madness.
* * *
“…It’s the same as then.”
“That’s right…!”
The full story of how Leonardo revealed the return to everyone, the time of the vampire incident in the Senate and the current attack on the imperial family had the same pattern as if they had been planned.
＜…What about the Demon King’s resonance? If it is now…＞
“It’s okay. “It’s not that bad.”
Leonardo wiped away the cold sweat and tried desperately to look okay.
Even if there was Ruben’s help, if left in this state, the Demon King may gradually be able to directly contact Leo’s mind again.
“Is targeting the armory to literally rob the weapons?”
Ain, who was flying, soon focused his gaze on the dot-like shape of the armory.
If you think about it simply, removing weapons from the armory was the most common sense action.
“…There may be that too.”
The devil’s actions now make the guess more certain.
The materials you seek are stored in the current imperial arsenal.
[You’re aiming for the Dragon Heart.]
Hidden dragon heart.
The Demon King carried out this surprise attack in order to steal the dragon heart that had been resurrected through necromancy.
