308 – Born This Way (4)
Theo looked at Sarah’s irritated words and looked at her body.

“Ah.”
Her body, with all her limbs cut off, was full of blood scabs.
‘It’s worth it to tickle.’
It hasn’t been washed once since I brought it here.
“Wait a moment.”
It has been a while since Theo used [Clean] Magic using the [Magic Cartridge].
Shooaaa─
The stream of water cleaned every inch of Sarah’s body.
Theo looked at Sarah’s physical condition and shook her head.
“Well, once isn’t enough.”
She advised that Theo’s sensitive aesthetic sense had not completely washed away yet.
Sarah tilted her stiff head, not moving much.
“What…What do you mean? “This is enough… Phffffff.”
“Stay still. “Water gets into her nose.”
Theo repeatedly used [Clean] Magic on Sarah.
Theo said with satisfaction as he looked at Sarah who had finished washing.
“This is enough. Come to your senses now, Sarah.”
Sara looked at Theo sheepishly and rinsed her watery nose.
“······Thank you. But what I’m seeing right now probably isn’t a dream.”
“In that case, there is a special medicine.”
Clap!
Theo immediately slapped Sarah on the cheek. Sarah’s face turned to the other side.
Theo asked Sara with a calm expression.
“How about it? “I feel tingly.”
“······Very. I don’t think it was a dream. “Where are we?”
“A quiet meeting room at Ellinia Academy.”
Sarah was quick to judge the situation.
“······Theo, you brought us in and treated us who were possessed by demonic energy. “I don’t think it’s a meeting room, though.”
“As expected, you are quick-witted.”
“But who is that person?”
Sarah pointed to Isabella who was standing behind Theo. Isabella was difficult to identify because she was wearing a wide-brimmed hat.
Theo answered indifferently.
“First Saint Isabella Len Lopez. “That person cured you.”
“······I never thought I would see the great saint in a place like this.”
Sarah moved her creaking body and bowed to Isabella.
“Sarah, leader of the Light Acolytes. “I send greetings to the first saint.”
At the same time, Isabella’s [Mind Reading] Was activated. Thoughts of Sarah appeared in her mind.
─Your breasts are so big. Wow… Is that a saint?
─I knew you were Theo’s supporter… But what is your relationship? I don’t think he’s just a supporter if he’s walking around with me this late at night…
“······.”
Isabella held her dizzy head and a commercial smile appeared on her lips.
“Okay, hello. My name is Isabella. Fortunately she has awakened, Sarah, the ‘former’ leader of the Light Acolytes.”
“······I was so out of my wits.”
“Approximately a week. “You’re not really surprised, are you?”
“It’s time to be replaced by someone else. “That’s how I became a leader.”
“Yes. “As a result of separate investigation, I found out that all the practitioners of light were already replaced with new people three days ago.”
Wow-
Sarah clenched her molars.
“You bastard… It’s clear that we invested in this knowing that it would change like this.”
At that time, other practitioners of light also began to come to their senses.
While Isabella was treating them, Theo asked Sarah.
“Do you have any guesses?”
“······Yes. “It is most likely a plot by that bastard Lankter.”
“Isn’t Lankhter one of the chief archbishops of the church? “The Archbishop is not a low-ranking person, but he is probably not the highest ranking person to be able to give instructions to the Acolytes of Light.”
The hierarchy of the religious order is Pope, Cardinal, Patriarch, Chief Archbishop, and Archbishop.
Generally, the highest ranking person refers to a person with a rank of patriarch or higher.
Sarah said.
“It is the patriarch who gives us instructions. But Lankter is greatly influenced by that bastard’s influence. “Because most of the practical work is done by Lankter, not the patriarch.”
“So, you mean Lanc Ter knew that if you were influenced by demon energy, he would turn into a monster?”
“I have no choice but to know. Because the way we changed was similar to how we looked before Tre died. We killed Tre, who had been consumed by demon energy and was running rampant, with our own hands and reported it to our superiors. “The only ones who know that are the Patriarch and Lankter.”
“I see.”
Sarah suddenly asked Theo.
“······But why did you save us? “You know that if you save us, you will definitely be at odds with the highest levels of the church.”
“At the highest levels of the church, there are people who worship the devil and are in collusion with forces trying to overthrow the continent. “You guys are bait to weed them out.”
Sarah looked at Theo with her weary eyes.
“······Bait is as good as the bait. Theo, no matter how much you do, you are nothing more than a handful of dust to the highest echelons of the church. “You will die as soon as you find out that you saved us.”
“That’s why I’m trying to become something they can never ignore. “After you recover, you will come with me to the church headquarters.”
Theo plans to watch the reactions of the top officials there.
A guy who comes to me out of pure kindness.
The guy who is coming to hide his evil deeds…
‘We will be able to know for sure which person colluded with [Turning White].’
Sarah expressed her doubts.
“How do I enter and exit the church headquarters? No one can enter there. “We have never been there except when we were appointed as attendants of light.”
Theo said, pointing to Isabella, who was treating the practitioners of light.
“Since this person is here, entry and exit will not be a problem.”
“······The first saint and her companions can enter at all times. But why the church headquarters?”
Theo said in a calm voice.
“I will pull out the holy sword.”

A few days later, in front of the Great Devil Shrine in the northern magic city.
The area nearby was full of corpses of holy knights and priests belonging to the church.
David, the guild master of [Learning Mind], Sat with his back against the shrine’s door with a relieved expression and smoked a cigarette.
Then I spoke to the team members who came with me.
“There are no more problems, right?”
“Yes, Master. We have eliminated all ties between us and the northerners. “We also killed all of the church’s dogs.”
“How is your physical condition?”
“It’s okay. A high concentration of magical energy is still flowing out of the shrine, but we can resist it thanks to the legendary artifact lent to us by the master.”
The team members looked at the artifacts they were wearing on their bodies.
From accessories to main equipment, the artifacts were shining in brilliant white color, and they were all belonging to the church.
One of the reasons why the church is called a specialist in subjugating demons is because of its artifacts dedicated to fighting demons.
David only raised one corner of his mouth, and he smiled wryly.
“As expected, when it comes to matters related to the devil, there is nothing better than the things of the religious cults. When you’ve used it all, put it away. “Maybe other people will see it.”
“I understand, Master.”
The cult artifacts worn by the team members were put into the [Subspace bag].
David stood up, flicking the cigarette he was smoking in the air.
“Everyone stay far away. “From now on, incomparable magical energy will pour out.”
“I will, but Master, do you plan to go in there?”
“Yes. Don’t you need to make sure you guys did a good job? Anyway, get out of the way. Because it’s disturbing.”
“Ah… I understand. “I will step down immediately.”
The team members turned their backs and quickly retreated from the Great Devil Shrine.
Once their figures disappeared from sight, David grabbed the handle of the shrine’s door.
“Now, it’s time to feast.”
David, with a devil-like expression, opened the door.
David is also a contract with the same great evil as Maitri.
The difference is that David was completely demonized because he had signed a contract in the past. For David, Magi is actually good nourishment.
Jeopuk, Jeopuk.
David, with a blood-red horn on his forehead and large black wings on his back, entered the Great Devil Shrine.

Inside Eisha’s dormitory room.
Theo was in her lotus position with her eyes closed.
He was practicing energy and thinking at the same time.
‘Hmm… I think it would be better to take the other kids too.’
Not long ago, I heard from Taylor that a house for him and Isabella to stay had been arranged.
He originally planned to stay with just himself and Isabella, but things changed.
The [Replacement body] Transplant surgery of the awakened light practitioners has also been completed, and Fiat and Eo are also available.
‘They all have an immediate sense of power.’
Above all, Taylor saved us a fairly large mansion. Enough to accommodate the power supply.
‘Well, it would be better to use all the available cards.’
I decided.
In addition to them, P.L., Sienna, Irene, Seria, the Chairman, etc. Let’s use everyone we can.
