After I Stopped Sponsoring, the Female Leads Began Obsessing Over Me chapter 219

219 – Witch Hunt (1)

It is a pitch black curtain.

Destroyed Evan’s black magic method.

The curtain created using it gave off a dark smell that even I felt was creepy.

The complete opposite concept of ‘sacredness’.

Smells like despair, despair, or survival.

Perhaps this is natural.

That’s exactly how I felt when I destroyed Evan’s black magic method. A lost wrist, death approaching right in front of you, and the desperation of doing anything to survive.

It is not that difficult to draw out a shadow that fills the earth.

Of course, it wasn’t perfect.

— Let’s go!

Because energies such as ‘divine power’ that were not completely neutralized entered the inside of the curtain.

However, they were all things that were not difficult for the Heretic Questioner to eliminate.

“hahahahaha! Everyone, hide behind me!”

He smiled brightly and shook everything away.

When on earth does that person not smile?

The crisis was overcome through unexpected cooperation.

— Wooooow!

When I pulled back the curtain, almost exhausted, all those damned ‘solid lines’ also disappeared.

“Whoa…”

A truly deep sigh.

This is the moment when you wonder about the face of the person who came up with this damn assassination method and created this technology.

No. It might be better not to know.

Because it is clear that he is truly an overwhelmingly talented person.

What if the energy compressed by the solid line just a moment ago can be used freely the moment you meet?

‘… I don’t even want to imagine.’

It will truly be an overwhelming defeat.

More than anything.

Divine power with ‘destructive power’.

It is clear that sacred power is an ability that disrupts the fundamental concept that it has no direct destructive power, so it cannot be used carelessly.

At least a different level of enlightenment.

In other words, he is a person who has surpassed the limit of the 5th position.

‘I don’t know if that’s possible…….’

It is clear that the 5-star system has limitations.

However, you can only see it when you get to the 5th level, but I think there must be a next level.

If so, the attack of the compressed solid line just now is definitely at least two levels of enlightenment.

It is an attack from a person who may have reached level 6 or 7 or higher.

It is literally a difference in realm.

“Ha…”

That feeling of devastation lasts only for a moment.

I raised my head and looked inside.

The inside of the completely destroyed building was filled with numerous fragments, as if it was fortunate that it had not collapsed.

— Jeopuk.

Someone is moving.

A bright smile that is still undisturbed.

It was Osgar Javert.

The direction his steps were heading was clear.

In front of me.

He skillfully walked, avoiding the debris, and stood in front of me.

“You really have an interesting trick, Ian Black Angus.”

“Looking at the surroundings, it seems difficult to say it’s fun.”

“hahahaha! Well, it would definitely have been dangerous without Ian’s remaining talent.”

Lord Rippenstein interrupted Osgar’s words.

“No. If it weren’t for Ian, we would all have died. Inquisitor, aren’t you supposed to be outside guarding us? That would have been the condition in the first place.”

“It was too loud to watch from the outside. Isn’t that what allowed us to protect you like this?”

Osgar smiled brightly and shrugged his shoulders. What can I say? If you look at it this way, he’s just a good-looking young man.

It’s hard to believe that a guy like that is a crazy person who casually talks about society, and at the same time, he’s a strong Heretic Questioner.

Anyway.

Anyone can see that it is Osgar who is trying to overcome my ‘dark arts’.

It goes without saying, but black magic is clearly an illegal use of magical power. Most of the fields where black magic is used are not only dark, but…. This is because the method of operation can never be called ‘legal’.

So, Lord Riepenstein appears like this… Probably to protect me.

He smiled as he faced Osgar.

“I guess the same logic applies to Ian. Even though we don’t know what magic he used…”

Lord Rippenstein especially emphasizes ‘I don’t know’ when looking at me.

Hmm.

I am grateful enough just for your willingness to shield me like that.

“Anyway, I can say that I have fulfilled my role by protecting you, Minister Blitter, and the Archbishop.”

Blitter – The Empire’s Minister of Foreign Affairs nodded his chubby face as if he agreed.

“No matter what magic Cadet Ian used, the Empire is not willing to risk it.”

On the other hand, the Archbishop of the Vatican looked troubled.

“… I guess it’s difficult for us. First of all, black arts itself is a concept mainly used by heretics.”

Lord Rippenstein opened his mouth to the archbishop who was in trouble.

“Isn’t it possible to just pretend not to see it? Also, you have done something quite remarkable.”

“Umm…”

The archbishop nods very slightly.

“Certainly, if we exclude the method and only consider the result, the merit cannot be said to be small.”

I was impressed.

Lord Rippenstein’s ability to create an atmosphere is definitely not average.

In an instant, the atmosphere of this conference hall – that is, the half-destroyed conference hall – changed as if I needed to be protected.

‘… Hmm.’

Of course, if that is a good thing for me.

That is not necessarily true.

Why?

‘I have to meet the Pope at least once.’

I took a long sigh and thought of [Title].

[Title] Is one of the systems that exists in Panta This is one of the special rewards given to those who achieve special achievements.

There are many titles, but one of them that must be obtained is “He who has witnessed the summit.”

——「The one who witnessed the summit」 ——

It is rare for someone to have an audience with both the two great pillars of the continent, the Emperor of the Britannia Empire and the Pope of Holy Constantine. Such glory comes at a price.

＜ Acquisition conditions ＞

– Meet the emperor of the empire: (1/1)

– Audience with the Pope of Deus: ( 0/1 )

– Bold Spirit

– Status abnormality resistance

————

Both effects are absolutely necessary for me right now.

Scenario— Or, to be precise, it is the minimum condition for dealing with the final boss of this game, the ‘Shale Cult Leader’.

An effect that maintains one’s spirit no matter how high the opponent’s level is . Increases resistance to status ailments, that is, slowing or stunning. Both effects are important rewards that should not be missed.

That’s why.

“hahahahaha! Sorry, but I can’t pretend I didn’t see it.”

Osgar appearing like that wasn’t all that obnoxious.

No. It’s obnoxious and obnoxious, but what can I say that makes me understand?

“Inquisitor Osgar — Now this could become a diplomatic issue…!”

“Is that so?”

Osgar tilts his head.

His laughter became more pure.

“Wouldn’t hiding someone who uses obvious black magic techniques be an even bigger problem?”

It’s not a great logic. But it was true that everyone was silent at his words. The reason is simple. Osgar’s words are not only correct.

— Crackling.

Rebar bending under his feet.

Osgar was the strongest person here.

Even if dozens of knights come to stop him, he can handle them all.

“My position gives me the right to summarily execute not only heretics but also those who embrace heresy, wherever they are under the influence of the Deus Church.”

Just as diplomats have immunity, Inquisitors have the privilege of execution. Of course, the number is fixed……. What he said wasn’t entirely wrong.

Inside a quiet place.

In fact, no one here knew that he was a madman, so no one spoke.

Even if we raise the issue diplomatically in the future, Osgar is more crazy than expected to raise the issue right now.

— Jeopuk.

So, it was not surprising that Osgar stood before me smiling again.

“hahahahaha! Isn’t this enough to prepare your mind? Ian.”

I nodded to indicate that I was ready.

Then the Heretic Questioner tilted his head.

“Are you confident?”

“Because I knew I would get caught anyway.”

“If you are caught like this, will you be executed?”

“Is that really so?”

hahahaha to my question! A heretic inquisitor laughing.

“If you research that black magic method, it seems like anything will come out.”

“You don’t know that until you try it.”

“hehehe! Good!”

His smile almost broke into laughter. What’s so funny? This one is serious, though.

“I think you’re ready, so let’s go.”

This was the full-fledged start of the scenario ‘witch hunt’.

◆

Rattle, rattle.

The carriage carried me quite roughly.

No. There were a few problems here, first and foremost.

“Kyayak! It’s a convoy that treats criminals the worst!”

It would be more appropriate to call it a convoy rather than a carriage. Also, it’s not just me who’s on board, there are two other people.

There is a middle-aged man who looks quite rough.

And she is a woman who seems to have quite a story and who looks like a widow to anyone.

The two seemed to have talked quite a bit, but the woman seemed to have clearly calmed down. It feels like the ranking has already been sorted out.

Well, what’s so great about reorganizing the ranks in a convoy like this?

‘You’re lucky.’

I can’t believe you can build connections in a place like this.

Among them, a middle-aged man who looked a bit rough asked me.

“So… Why were you captured?”

“Yes?”

“I guess I committed some crime so I’m being held here.”

It looks like they are trying to organize the ranking from the beginning.

I grinned at his question.

“Well, isn’t this the fastest way to meet the Pope?”
