165 – Cult of the Moon – (3)
Koo-gu-gu-gu-gu.
Vibration sounds.
I could feel how fierce the battle was going on even from afar.
“… ….”
Unlike the outer walls, the inner courtyard was being used as an outpost. Logistics was established here for essential personnel and wounded who had not yet left the capital.
A spire managed with tight security, overlooking its appearance at a glance.
The top floor of this spire is guarded by countless protection spells and escorts. At this point, even if it was described as the safest place in the imperial palace, there was nothing lacking.
And being in the safest place means, paradoxically, that it is enough to feel insensitivity to safety.
“Ughhh.”
The Empress, Lin Xia Ern, stomped her feet at this strange sensation she hadn’t felt in a long time.
How much? Has it been almost 10 months since the National Foundation Day, or a year?
“Your Majesty, calm down a little.”
Next to her, Lucy, who seemed very nervous, asked cautiously with a stiff tone, but Lynxia waved her arms and shouted.
“Can you calm down?! They’re here! Strange things fly in the sky! It explodes!”
“Still, it seems that we can’t reach this far… ….”
“I know that too. It just means it’s uncomfortable.”
Lyn Xia watched the bombardments and spells that lit up the sky like fireworks with her shoulders trembling.
A little over an hour has already passed since the siege with the Church began. The wires seem to be stuck, so nothing big has happened yet, but just one trivial thing, like a pot on a fire, will turn the tide of battle.
So, how could I not be anxious?
Furthermore, Fried must be there!
She is a loyal knight of her own, and the person to whom she promised to marry. As she recalled her face, Lynxia’s mouth naturally loosened.
“…… Freed.”
She called his name slowly, thinking of the deep moonlight in her eyes.
Hearing her murmur, the shoulder of someone sitting next to her with her arms folded twitched.
Lynxia couldn’t bear to ignore her, so I called out to her.
“So Sir Milia.”
“…… Did you call?”
“Why are you here?”
The female knight, Milia Lian Tour, who looked uncomfortable at first glance, held her hands at her mouth and hardened her face as she gazed at the scenery outside.
It’s not at all strange to have a top-notch knight like Millia escort Lyncia’s space, but…… In this case, wouldn’t it be helpful to just be on the front line?
“Just…… It was a strategic choice.”
“What is going on here?”
Why is the Empire’s greatest power guardian knight here? She had questioned that, but seeing Milia’s reaction like that, it seemed like she was getting lost.
“Demotion…… ?”
“Oh no!”
That’s right.
Lin Xia nodded her head in her heart.
I don’t know what she’s done, but the current Milia Lian Tour feels pretty disliked. To Sir Uriad or to Fried.
As she thought about that, she looked closely at Milia.
‘Was it also taken by Fried…… ?’
Lynxia, she naturally had such a thrill-filled delusion.
There was nothing strange about her.
A female knight who has been rumored to protect the border and various rumors. The real Lyncia was aware that she had mixed her body with Freed.
When she left for Lumen El, some even described it as an escape from her love.
I don’t know what Milia and Freed’s relationship is like now, but the fact that she’s here now with a sad expression on her face means that.
Holding back a smile that was about to spill out, Lyncia sat down next to Milia.
“Big. Well, i think it’s fine No matter how degraded you are, you’re escorting the emperor right next to you, right? In that sense, I think Lord Milia can lean a little more on her shoulders! Now! She takes pride! Stop crying!”
“…… That’s why it’s not a relegation……. I didn’t even cry…….”
Milia tried to explain with tears in her eyes, but there was no way that such a protest would work for Lynxia, who had already made up her mind once.
For some reason, she had to lower her head to hide her blushing face when the bright-looking Lyn Xia patted her on the shoulder as a consolation.
And how old was she?
Milia jerked her head up.
“…… Why are you like that?”
Lyncia with a puzzled expression.
But Milia hurriedly got up from her seat and went over to her balcony and looked in the direction behind her in the courtyard.
Seeing her reaction like that, Shia Lin also seemed to feel something unusual about her.
“No way.”
Lyncia hurriedly closed her eyes.
She then raised the mana in her body to activate sensory sharing among the spirits around her.
Her spirits scattered around her imperial palace became Lynxia’s eyes and ears, and soon she sensed an evil demon swaying in the north of the imperial palace and a knight with gray hair running towards it. . The gray knight, Fried Iscoval, was urging his feet, but the figure on his back was like that.
“…… Freed? And that…….”
“Emma.”
Milia received the afterword.
Why is Fried, who should be on the front lines, heading to the back of the imperial palace? Moreover, with a vampire woman accompanying him.
Her maid, Lucy, who was standing at a distance from the two of them, carefully spoke her words.
“Your Majesty and Sir Millia…… ? That…….”
At Lucy’s call, she comes to her senses and looks outside.
Through the pitch-black sky, a mysterious bloody aura was rushing in.
“That…… Is it dangerous?”
“Maybe.”
To Lucy’s question, Lyncia had no choice but to give an ambiguous answer.

Kick off the ground and jump over the castle.
As she got closer to the location that Emma, who had been carried on her back, she actually began to feel the thick scent of blood on her nostrils. Then, as her intuition warned her, the back of her head began to tingle and tickle.
Emma’s words that her blood relatives have come must be true. I put one hand on the hilt, preparing for battle.
“Did Kazimir come in person?”
“Maybe.”
Emma nodded her head, while looking around her, her face hardened.
“He has a lot of energy. It seems that Kazimir himself came. It seems that there are other blood relatives around her…….”
“It’s going to get tricky. Emma, you won’t be able to bind his blood relatives with your blood magic.”
“For now, yes.”
I clicked my tongue.
In fact, the current weakened Emma can only detect her blood magic. Furthermore, the enemies he will face this time are numerous blood relatives, including Kazimir.
I explained the situation to Yuriard, but now the guards were only busy blocking the church’s siege.
I can’t ask for Lyncia’s help this time either. That means, in the end, I have to overcome it on my own.
“Emma.”
“What happened?”
“Come closer.”
I gestured to her, and Emma slowly walked towards me, tilting her head.
Then I reached out to her and grabbed her breasts.
To be precise, a stake firmly driven into Emma’s heart.
“…… Little boy, please.”
“You mean this is limiting your power?”
Ema opened her eyes wide.
It seems that the person himself implanted it in order to restrain his power and to atone for his sins, so pulling it out won’t kill him.
“Honey, but Jim… ….”
“What do you know? It all seems to be dead now. If you’re going to betray me, do it. But before that, pay for the meal and go.”
I pulled the stake with the horse.
From the hole in her chest, jet-black blood flowed like a waterfall, and then the blood slowly flowed back and gathered around Emma.
Perhaps it was just because of her mood, it seemed that Emma’s red eyes had become more glamorous.
Emma looked at me dumbfounded and sighed.
“Really…… You are a selfish child.”
“I often hear that.”
“Yes. I think I know why you attract people.”
Respond with a shrug of her shoulders.
Anyway, with this, Emma will be able to play an active part to her useful level.
At that moment, demons seemed to rage in the middle of the outer castle garden, but soon began to take on the shape of a person.
“You are here.”
“Looks like it.”
A pale-skinned man with a long chin appeared before long.
At first glance, he could have looked like a sculpted handsome man, but the three lines of scars on his cheeks and his chin showing off his bones were more reminiscent of killers that often appear in B-grade slasher movies.
He looked back and forth between me and Emma, then giggled and clapped.
“This is it, mother, have you finally released your power?”
Seeing him smirking, Emma took a step back from her.
“I didn’t know that a great person would come personally.”
“Because it is an all-out war. We just do our best on this side.”
Kasimir, the apostle of fresh blood.
The main body of the boss in Act 7 was in front of me.
Can I kill you if I run right now? Wouldn’t there be a chance if you cut it before doing the straw pattern?
Many figures began to gather around Emma and I, who had so many arrogant thoughts.
“…… There are so many.”
“I tried to increase the number of clans by learning from the recent defeat. Will you be satisfied?”
“Okay.”
I turned around and looked at the unfocused vampires standing around me. It certainly seemed to be several times the number seen last time.
This means they are all blood relatives.
“…… It’s going to be tough.”
I spat and drew my sword.
