030. Naeronambul
In conclusion, Apostle Shardel was purged.
I also considered the possibility that he was imprisoned somewhere, but the executioner was cold-blooded beyond imagination.
A man who mercilessly kills an apostle he is close with if he interferes with his plans.
Shadel’s soul brought by the necromancer proved that hypothesis.
“So, you knew of the executioner’s plan, and you were killed by him while trying to stop it. “Is this what you mean?”
“Yes.”
“Then why did you act on your own instead of asking your colleagues for help?”
“All of my classmates admire and have blind faith in you. “If I reveal the truth, it will only cause a rift between me and my classmates, and there is no way the situation will improve.”
“I guess that’s true.”
It was said that all of the apostles of this generation were directly elected by the executive officers.
It is highly likely that the loyalty towards the executive officer that arose during the selection process has continued to this day, so it would have been difficult to seek help.
Even if I tried hard to appeal to the executioner’s other side or his plan, it would have been accepted as nonsense.
Shardel, who was unable to receive help from his colleagues, tried to solve the problem on his own, but ended up being dealt with by the executioner.
“I’m glad though. There was someone else besides me who wanted to stop the Executor’s plan…….”
Chardel’s expression is more gloomy than his words say.
If he had known of my existence earlier, he might have thwarted the executioner’s plan.
But before I could even attempt to contact him, he was already in action.
As a result, the timing was mixed and he became a ghost wandering the nine heavens.
It was an incredibly deplorable tragedy.
“There is no point in regretting the past.”
“I know. Even the fact that I was the only one trying to stop the Executor. But it was something I had to do.”
“Is that so? Well, I was worried that his feelings might have changed after he died, but I’m glad he did. “You still feel like you have to stop him, right?”
“Yes.”
“Okay. Then I will make your wish come true on your behalf. So, could you please provide me with information about the bailiff?”
“Of course. “I will give all the information I know to the Savior.”
“Thank you.”
He was embarrassed by the title of savior, but instead of showing it, he bowed and expressed his gratitude.
“First of all, let me tell you the name of the Executor: Ras… ….”
“Las? There was no one with that name. “That guy’s real name is Hered, not Lars.”
“Yes?”
“Oh, I forgot to introduce it. “This is the necromancer who brought you here and one of the first apostles of justice.”
“Yes?! If you’re the first apostle, you’re in the same class as the executive officer…….”
“Okay. “I am your great senior.”
“Seo, I’m sorry I didn’t recognize you!”
“Kkekeke!!”
I believe that the necromancer who makes a strange laughing sound is the first apostle.
If it were me, I would definitely start with suspicion.
Anyway, it was very nice to be able to learn information about the bailiffs, both past and present.
The more information you have, the more useful information you have.
“I didn’t want to disturb the meeting between seniors and juniors as much as possible, but unfortunately I don’t have much time, so why don’t you give me some information first?”
“I understand.”
“Tsk! “I can’t help it.”
“Then, I would like to know about the most important Executor’s deck.”
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
The spirits of Urus, who looks the other way, and Chardel, who bows his head.
Did I ask something I shouldn’t have asked?
In the duel world where dueling is considered important, asking about other people’s decks seems to be a taboo.
“It looks like I asked a question I shouldn’t have asked.”
“Well, that’s not it! Only… ….”
“Now that it’s been several decades since I last dueled with that guy, I don’t know how his deck has changed.”
There was no point in finding out what deck the bailiff had used in the past.
Even for me, the deck I had 10 years ago and the deck I have 10 years from now are very different, so it won’t be any different for the Executor.
It will definitely be quite different from the deck that competed with Urus.
On the other hand, Shardel, who had a duel with the Executor relatively recently, must know his deck, so why is he silent?
When I looked at Shardel curiously, he realized my gaze and reluctantly opened his mouth.
“To my shame, I lost Lass in just one turn… No, I was defeated by Lord Hered.”
“If it only takes one turn, it means that the second attack has been breached.”
“That’s right. “I was helplessly defeated in a situation where I was the first attacker and Hered was the second attacker.”
“That’s really strange. Even if Executor is strong, isn’t the theme of the deck the same? “There can’t be such an overwhelming difference in a mirror match.”
“…… Hered was also using cards other than the Apostle of Justice.”
“Could you explain in detail?”
“The monster that Hered uses is an apostle with a strange atmosphere. “It was like a monster card that showed a twist on the existing apostles.”
I understand why there was an overwhelming gap between the executioners and the apostles.
In the world I lived in, ‘Apostle of Justice’ was a fairly old theme.
Compared to the new themes that would appear later, it was bound to lack power.
However, if you abandon the existing theme, even the people who loved the theme will turn away.
For this reason, card game companies support new cards so that existing themes can compete with new themes…….
“Isn’t the card named ‘Apostle of Faith’ by any chance?”
“Yes, that’s right!”
With this, it became clear.
The executioner was using a deck that even included support cards.
“It has become difficult to deal with… ….”
“Is this such a difficult opponent?”
“Yes. “If the Apostle of Justice only uses the graveyard, the Apostle of Faith even uses the exclusion zone.”
Most advanced monsters of the Light and Dark series can be special summoned, excluding cards from the graveyard.
Therefore, for a special summon, the Apostle’s advantage is to send cards from the deck to the graveyard and see the fight for a long time, but even though it is a deck specializing in long-term battles, the Executor is a one-turn kill.
What this means is that the Executioner’s deck has been modified to a point where it is completely different.
In addition to the apostles, there are more cards to keep in mind.
“Have you ever seen a monster that isn’t an apostle?”
“I’m sorry. I lost before I could accurately understand Hered’s deck, so I don’t know anything more…….”
“There is nothing we can do. However, the information you have provided so far has been of great help, so take heart.”
“Thank you so much for saying that.”
Chardel looks gloomy as the bitterness of defeat still lingers.
I hope you can have enjoyable duels in the afterlife.
“Ah… !!”
The moment we finished the conversation and were about to return to the shack.
Chardel, who had been gloomily lowering her head, suddenly flashed her eyes and hurriedly ran towards me.
“I forgot to tell you the most important information!”
“What is that?”
“Savior! You must find the demon girl as soon as possible!!”
“If you were a demon girl, what would you say, Lilith? “Are you talking about that child?”
“Yes, that’s right!”
“Why Lilith… ?”
“Demons are people who enjoy fratricide, but strangely, they are a race that cannot tolerate their compatriots being killed by other races. So Hered is planning to use the habits of these demons to wage a holy war against the demons!”
“Keke! Hered bastard, you’re gone until you go!”
“Do you know something?”
“If you think about it, the reason I died was because of the war with the devil.”
“Didn’t you die fighting a great evil?”
“The origin of the emergence of great evil was war. The chaos created by the collision of light and darkness, and the blood and death created by war, combined to provide an excuse for evil to descend. “That guy, Hered, is planning to bring that monster to this land through a war against the devil again.”
According to the goddess, the executioner was blinded by his desire for revenge and abandoned his justice.
A renegade who seeks revenge.
There was only one target for his revenge.
“Are you trying to use war as a means to summon?”
“Kkekeke! “That is correct.”
“But if the Savior can protect Lilith from Master Hered, then her clear crusade will not happen!”
Chardel smiled with satisfaction, saying that he had presented a groundbreaking plan.
But unfortunately, after hearing his story, the smile on my face disappeared.
It was because of the anxiety that suddenly rose in my heart.
“Finesse.”
“Yes.”
“I will follow you soon. “Would you please go back to the shack first?”
“Are you telling me to go back and protect Miss Lilith?”
“Yes.”
I never imagined that Lilith would be the key to thwarting the executioner’s plan.
If I had known her plan, I wouldn’t have gone anywhere and stayed by her side the entire time.
But I left her alone and wandered around to find out about her.
A truly pathetic mistake.
I tried to contact Lilith with a magic tool just now to put an end to it, but I got impatient as there was no response.
From Noble mtl dot com
It may have been because it was outside the range of the magic tool, but if it was within the range and still unable to contact you, that would be the worst.
“Ha… !”
I hope Lilith is safe…….
“Master. “If Miss Lilith has been kidnapped by the bailiff, what should I do with her?”
“…… I hope that doesn’t happen, but if Lilith is taken, she goes to the guild and tells everyone this.”
Get your cards ready, it’s war.
***
A secret room connected to the confessional.
The masked executioner was humming his tune as he prepared the cards to be used in his ritual.
I was turning the sharp card around while carefully examining it to make sure there was no dirt on it.
On the back of the card, reflected in the faint light, was the image of Lilith bound by rope.
“Nothing will change if you glare at me like that.”
“You murderer!”
“Don’t murder…” . From your perspective, it might be true. But you know what? If I hadn’t accepted your mother from the beginning, she would have died of starvation. Then you wouldn’t have been born.”
“Then why…?” !!”
“Why did you accept your mother? Of course, it was accepted to be used as a sacrifice. It was nothing more than a tool to achieve my revenge! “Of course, I was disappointed because it was a broken tool that was impossible to use.”
“Don’t insult my mother!!”
“hahahaha!! I was just stating the truth. Still, I have to praise him for leaving behind a replacement for himself as he earned it.”
Wow!
Lilith couldn’t hold back her boiling anger and clenched her teeth.
She bit so hard that her blood flowed from the corner of Lilith’s mouth.
The executioner who saw the scene forcibly put a cap on the girl’s mouth to prevent her from biting her tongue and committing suicide like her mother.
“Eup-eup… !!”
“I almost made the same mistake again. I won’t let you kill yourself this time. “Because you have to die by my hands.”
Lilith’s eyes, glaring at her executioner, became even more fierce.
But even with the enemy in front of her, the girl could do nothing but glare, let alone retaliate.
A situation where anger is constantly rising and there is no way to release it.
Due to her overflowing emotions, hot tears eventually began to flow from the corners of Lilith’s eyes.
I hate the person who killed her parents.
I hate the discrimination that torments her.
I hate the reality of being so helpless.
Lilith hated the world that gave her nothing but pain.
She was about to think that she would like the world to perish like this.
Someone’s face flashed through my mind, and a strange look appeared in the girl’s eyes.
Her man, who extended his hand to her as dirty as her trash.
Lilith’s cheeks became wet with tears as she remembered the person who had made her feel hopeful about her dark future.
Just one more time, just one more time.
I want to meet him, I want to lean on him. I hope he saves me.
Even though she knew she was shameless, the girl hoped for a miracle.
“Let us carry out the ceremony slowly.”
“Eup-eup-eup…” !! Eupeup… !!”
“It is no use resisting. Even if you do that, there is no one anywhere who can save you.”
“Why do you think it doesn’t exist?”
“…… ?!”
The bailiff was startled by the answer coming from behind her and quickly looked behind her.
The man on the wanted list, which he had skipped over because he was not interested, suddenly appeared in front of him.
The bailiff tried to calm her mind and narrowed her eyes.
“How did someone as humble as you come to such a precious place? “Are you here to surrender?”
“No, I’m here to arrest a criminal?”
“A wanted criminal arrested? “That’s a funny joke.”
“Do you think I’m joking?”
“If it’s not a joke, what is? “What on earth has committed such a serious crime that a wanted criminal is set up to catch him?”
“Card stolen.”
“Theft?”
“Okay. While I was away for a moment, someone stole my precious card. So I searched hard and found it here?”
A man takes out a magic tool for location tracking and waves it around.
The executioner turned his head and looked at Lilith who was tied up in the form of a magic tool that he had seen somewhere before.
Attached to the girl’s waist was a device similar to the magic tool her man was holding.
“Such an odd number… ….”
“I installed a location tracker in advance to prepare for theft.”
“It’s really outrageous that a wanted criminal would use an anti-theft magic tool. Rather, according to rumors, I heard that you also use dirty tricks to steal other people’s cards, but for someone like that to talk about theft…….”
“I’m a criminal so it’s okay to steal, but you can’t!!”
“Ugh?!”
Wow!
The bailiff’s body instantly stiffened as Han Se-yoon’s palm suddenly struck his cheek.
“Is it okay for someone who claims to be an enforcer of justice to steal other people’s cards?”
Wow!
“Why are you stealing the card I was working so hard to develop for later use?”
Wow!
“Now, my mask for a moment!!”
“If you’re going to steal, you should at least shout in front of the owner that your card is awesome!”
Wow!
“S-stop…!!”
“I will rehabilitate you today. Take out your cards, it’s a duel!!”
Yeah, as expected he uses Twilightsworn too.
