44 – Heretic Inquisitor
“….!!!”
Lucia didn’t answer right away, but the Royal Guard knights who heard this together drew their swords almost half way, and the atmosphere was getting worse and worse.
“I will ask you again. Are you the water saint who heals people with heretical powers?”
“This… The power of heresy? I’m just using the spirit to heal…”
“Get that b*tch right away!”
The Heretic Inquisitors rushed at Lucia’s confession-like answer,
The Royal Guard knights drew their swords and blocked their way.
“If you take even one step from there, we will consider you an enemy and we will decapitate you.”
“To defend that witch who dares to use the power of heresy and to point her sword at the heretic inquisitor, the messenger of our goddess…”
“Whether the Heretic Inquisitor or the Goddess comes, we are only protecting Lady Lucia with the Princess’s command.”
“She sold her soul to her witch and couldn’t even grasp her subject… Her poor lamb is all over… Tsk tsk…”
The priest clicked the tip of his tongue and gestured to the heretic inquisitors around him.
They all drew their swords and surrounded the knights protecting Lucia, putting pressure on them.
“Listen to the water saint. A lot of blood has already been shed by others because of you.”
“The others…?”
“The refugee camp in the kingdom of Erupe is not enough, do you want to drive the knights and refugees here to their deaths?”
“What… Do you mean… All the refugees in the kingdom of Erupe… Were killed?”
Lucia asked the priest once more about her uneasiness covering her whole body,
The priest was already telling Lucia, who was confused enough just by looking at her face, about everything she had done in Lupe Kingdom.
“Yes. Since they all saw heretical beliefs, they would not have gone to heaven if they were stained by it… If they follow us even now and undergo the Inquisition, we will give others here a chance to repent.”
“There were also small children there who couldn’t speak properly… You mean they killed them all?”
“There is no distinction between adults and children in the standard of heresy.”
Lucia didn’t follow the warrior’s party in the end, and there her parents and the remaining children began to flicker in front of her eyes,
When he saw Lucia like that, the corner of the priest’s mouth went up more and more.
“Lucia, don’t believe what the authors say! The guards have gone to call the hero, so just wait behind us.”
“Because of me… everyone died… those people… all…”
The Royal Guard knights were more wary of their surroundings and were persuading Lucia not to collapse,
In the meantime, the heretic inquisitors were exchanging autographs among themselves and gradually moving towards Lucia.
“Now!”
At the order of the priest, the heretic inquisitors started running towards the knights,
They far outnumbered the knights, and were so powerful that two of them attacked each person.
A battle broke out around Lucia, where the sick were gathered, and it became a mess.
While the knights battle with the heretic inquisitors,
The priest came closer and closer to Lucia and muttered something to himself…
“People possessed by demons approached the goddess and prayed, and the goddess cried out to the demons, “Those possessed by my lambs cannot live on this earth. “
The priest’s sword was emitting white light as he approached while reciting the contents of the Bible.
Lucia, who did not feel that the priest was approaching due to the surroundings of the mayhem, found him belatedly and called a familiar name.
“Ella…”
Shuaaa~
A woman appeared before Lucia’s call was over…
A woman with hair color and eyes similar to Lucia appeared in a blue dress, not Elim, which was normally in the shape of water, and her water column was slowly disappearing.
“Whoa… I was wondering why our Lucia is so confused differently than usual… It was you guys?”
“What… What! Ah… is it a devil!?”
Although she looks similar to Lucia, Elaim, who has her beauty that looks much more mature than her, slowly approaches her priest.
The priest was already threatening Elaim with his sword wrapped in divine power…
“Go… Don’t come close! I… I am the Heretic Inquisitor, the messenger of the goddess!”
“Heh… What do humans who have never seen the face of a goddess know… Tsk tsk…”
“How dare you blaspheme the goddess!”
Seeing her approaching, the priest, fearful, stopped her back and tried to resist her at the words of her goddess that seemed to blaspheme her goddess.
“I heard earlier… I heard that our Lucia killed the villagers of the refugee camp that she treated with difficulty?”
“That… That’s right! For those who see and hear heretical beliefs, there is nothing but death!”
“Whoa.. It’s been a while since you guys pissed me off…”
Approaching the priest, Elaim turned her direction and returned to Lucia, who was quietly whispering something into her ear, who had been staring blankly at her.
“Lucia? Wait for a sec….”
As soon as Elaim finished speaking, Lucia collapsed on the spot and fell asleep.
Elaim tied her own long hair together and glared at her priest.
“Yeah.. Now try again.”
“What… What!?”
“I didn’t want to show my Lucia a cruel scene… I’ve been holding back… But I can’t do it today.”
Elaim knew better than anyone else the pain of her past Lucia.
She ran away to the sea when she was little, and the pain she must have felt as she watched her villagers die…
She was the first memory of her that Elim looked into after belatedly collecting young Lucia floating in the sea.
But I just…

Now that she has become her own summoner, Lucia feels the same pain as then,
Surprised by this, Elaim appeared in the human world before her Lucia finished her summoning.
In human form…
It’s also her Lucia in the form of her favorite person…
“Goddess’ judgment on the devil!!”
At that time, one of the monks who saw Elaim approaching the priest raised her sword and rushed at her…
“Without knowing who the real devil is…”
When Elaim spoke her words, the body of the friar who rushed at it stopped as if it were paused.
“You… Who are you!!”
“There is no reason to explain it to humans… But I will be the one who will kill you soon.
“That.. King of spirits…? Mmm… What nonsense…”
“Doesn’t that make sense? Then look at this.”
Elraim gestured in the air, and the friar’s body, which had been suspended, moved back and forth, following her hand.
The friar, who moved freely as she wanted, was even surprising the priest with bizarre behavior…
“You know what? The human body is made up of 70% water… Although it is possible to manipulate water freely like this…”
Chooaaa!!
“That I can drain water from my whole body like this…”
At Elim’s gesture, all the clotted blood was drained from the body of the monk in the air, and only the body of the monk who had turned into a mummified body fell to the floor.
“Ah.. It’s the devil!! It’s the devil!!”
“It’s not the devil, it’s the spirit king Elaim.”
Chaw ah!!!
Again, at Elaim’s gesture, all the blood was drained from the bodies of the other heretic inquisitors who were around the priest.
Frightened by this, the priest fell to the floor with his pale face.
“Do you use it if you are already scared?”
The Heretic Inquisitors, who had been fighting with the knights around them, stopped in place and gathered around the priest all at once.
“Keep a close eye on what happens when the spirits get angry…”
*****
Somehow, the uneasy feeling seemed to always hit the mark.
Receiving a report from the guard guarding the refugee camp, I concentrated all the mana in my body into my legs and started running.
Arriving at the refugee camp several times faster than a sprinting horse, I couldn’t keep my mouth shut at the strange sight.
Similar to Lucia…
From nob le mt l dot com
No, she looks similar to Lucia, but she was water tortured by the Heretic Inquisitors, with only a few women who looked a little older.
She was more happy watching them suffer than killing them.
Even so, before the Heretic Questioner drowned, I was taking him out of the water and giving him time to catch his breath.
“What is this… Lucia!!”
Looking at her and the corpses around her, I saw Lucia lying behind her and hurriedly ran.
“Lucia! Wake! Are you okay?”
I looked suspiciously at a woman similar to Lucia at the reaction of Lucia who didn’t respond even when I shook her…
“Don’t worry. Lucia is because I put her to sleep.”
“Who…”
“Who is it, Elam?”
“Elam?”
Surely, the Elaim I knew was a woman in the form of water…
I couldn’t find any traces of Elaim now, and rather, they looked so similar that I could believe they were Lucia’s relatives.
“Before that… this is the guy who tried to kill Lucia, and these guys are those idiots.”
Elim was throwing the heretic inquisitors one by one as if he were handling puppets.
Among them was Priest Joseph, whom I met in the Eritre Empire, lying curled up like a half-mad man.
“Bury these corpses yourself.”

Next, Elaim is kicking mummified corpses as if kicking stones on the street.
“What happened to these people here… and Elam… Why are you looking like that?”
holy sh!t mc is sometimes so stupid and slow
