107. Just like Helios.
What is the difference between a duel and an assassination?
In the former case, it could be defined as a fight fought to compete for victory or defeat with each other’s explicit or implicit consent.
In the latter case, the two characters are divided into the victim and the perpetrator. Unlike duels, it is an act of secretly killing, and the principle is to act in secret.
But here.
For the lady holding the black parasol, the line between duel and assassination was ambiguity itself. So, from a certain moment, she did not cut or judge them carelessly.
Standing up in front of the enemy and fighting proudly was close to a duel, but inflicting death without the opponent noticing it was closely related to assassination.
It was the same this time.
Taking someone’s life was so reticent that she felt a kind of loneliness.
The purple line drew softly and flew towards the dark-haired girl first.
“……”
The girl managed to throw herself onto the bed, avoiding the lady’s assassination.
Ares Helias, who was standing right next to him and engulfed in fear toward the lady, not only did not react, but did not understand what was going on.
Knock tok.
The lady tapped the floor with the tip of her parasol on the worn, dark brown floor.
“……”
“Prepare to run Ares.”
Black energy emanating from Rin’s pajamas.
It began to wet the room with dampness, like a street after rain, and for the first time made the lady’s eyes tremble.
“warrant?”
‘I know this.’
I noticed that he wasn’t a normal person, but he knew right away when he saw him. Lynn tightened the collar of her pajama and took a deep breath to hide her tension.
‘Why are they targeting us?’
At first, of course, I thought I was chasing Ares. He said he knew a secret he shouldn’t know, so he came after him to keep his mouth shut.
However, there was a part where the front and back did not match.
The information that Ares Helias knows is ‘The nun of Helios murdered the nun of Demeter and escaped.’
However, he later added:
The cathedral said they had no intention of hiding this incident and would announce it right away, even tomorrow.
‘It’s strange that you tried to silence Ares with something that everyone in Bhatian will know tomorrow anyway.’
Amid this coercive and unfair violence, Rin wanted to waste time by saying anything and get information, but it seemed difficult to get anything through conversation with the woman with a creepy smile on her lips.
“Why the hell are you doing this to me!”
However, sometimes the correct answer is to take action rather than having thoughts in your head.

Just like Ares Helias today.
Did his voice full of resentment become a little play? The lady answered with a small smile.
“Just like you and that child have a unique ability called the power of God. I also have a slightly special feeling. I call this the sixth sense.”
“…the sixth sense?”
Basically, when a person is born, he has five senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.
Of course, Lin had read in books that other senses were being discovered, but that wasn’t the point.
Usually, the sixth sense meant a kind of supernatural ability. The lady casually declared that she had such power.
“My senses tell me that if I follow you, I can get some clues.”
“proviso?”
“Yeah, I was very lucky to have met a child with the engraving of Helios. It was wise not to go straight to the nun.”
Ares’s expression hardened for a moment because there was a sense that the conversation was out of sync, but the lady did not miss it and slowly frowned.
“I don’t know.”
Even though she didn’t say anything, she sighed as if she understood everything.
“I don’t know anything about the nun of Helios who ran away. Was it really just that the child with the imprint visited the cathedral? However……”
The lady continued to tap the floor with her parasol as if she was organizing her thoughts. It rang in the ears of the two students like a warning to not move and wait.
But these two weren’t just standing still.
situation without a weapon.
Rin gathered mana and put it into her fist, then twisted her body and shattered the window and flung herself outside.
‘If I stay there, I will eventually die.’
It doesn’t look like he’s going to say he’s sorry that he misunderstood. I’m going to get silenced somehow.
Ares, who immediately followed Rin as soon as he landed on the street, perhaps because he was not a childhood friend. We looked at each other and tried to run right away.
“uh?”
Something came out of Ares’ thigh.
Although he couldn’t see it clearly, Rin could capture the afterimage of the purple butterfly as if it were passing by.
“Quaaagh!”
Ares Helias rolls on the floor and grabs his thigh. From his right thigh, which had been neatly pierced, blood was pouring incessantly, as if a tap had been turned on.
“A night walk is one of my favorite things.”
Even though she had jumped from the hotel window, not a single speck of dust and her clothes were undisturbed, the lady approached the two with leisurely steps.
“I didn’t mean it, but it’s a harvest that exceeds my expectations. I can’t imagine having two people with the imprint of God.”
“Don’t think it will be that easy.”
A black aura began to radiate from the body.
Without a sword or staff, Rin’s bare hands trembled, but she clenched her fists to hide it.
“I’ll admit that it’s definitely a great power. If you had handled that power just a little skillfully, I could have struggled too.”
A lady who laughs loudly and covers her mouth.
“But, beautiful lady, at night. Especially on days when there is such a thin crescent moon.”
The purple line starts moving again. Although it was Rin who brushed off the soft and supple thing with black energy.
“It’s easy to be seduced by the bright light.”
Kwakdeuk, Kwadeuk.
The two newly appearing lines poking in from behind pierce right through Rin’s thighs and shoulder blades.
“Huh!”
Rin, who unconsciously exhaled as if vomiting, leaned forward. The flowing black energy immediately began to surround her in order to protect her master.
“In the pitch-black darkness, the most important thing to watch out for is the light, beautiful girl.”
A soft purple light clearly appeared in front of Rin. What was one at first became three. It soon becomes a square.
Suddenly, it became a swarm of butterflies.
Numerous purple butterflies hovering around as if they were trying to protect the lady who took a walk through the night.
Even in the midst of it, the lady receives the moonlight pouring towards her. He smiled like a crescent moon.

“Uh, uh.”
Unfortunately, the place where the nun of the sun god awoke was a cold, dark room where she could not feel the mercy of the god she believed so much in.
Forcibly lifting her heavy eyelids, Sister Lucia put her hand forward to check her surroundings, but realized something was binding her limbs.
I slowly look around, but there is still darkness all around. Even if the gag in her mouth interfered with her breathing, Lucia took a slow, deep breath, waiting for her eyes to get used to the darkness.
I can’t see everything clearly, but as if I drew a rough drawing, I started to see the fine outlines.
‘ah……’
Recalling what had happened to her, Lucia shed tears as if she had waited.
Someone who supports a nun in the service of the goddess Demeter has attached an assassin to herself. Meira was able to return to the cathedral thanks to her trusty friend, and tried to argue with the nun of Demeter right away.
‘She was already dead…’
It wasn’t just that.
The priest who had been with him all his life poisoned a handkerchief and passed out himself.
Even though I was appalled, I didn’t want to believe it.
To think that the person he trusted and followed the most betrayed him.
What the hell is the situation?
In this situation, I thought it was reasonable to find a way to escape by doing something rather than simply being afraid.
Lucia couldn’t move at all.
Although she shouldered the grand name of a candidate for sainthood, she was actually just a simple village nun.
In a word, you could call her an ordinary country girl.
In a coercive and violent situation, she could not resist anything other than crying.
An intense light comes in with a squeaking sound.
A lantern gently illuminates the bride’s face from below.
“town! Ugh!”
Lucia struggles to beg for mercy, but the bride smiles a little and draws the sign of the god Helios.
“Lucia, you must have been very surprised…”
“Ugh!”
“But this is for God. You are now a martyr.”
“Ugh!”
“I will explain slowly. If you listen, you will be able to empathize and understand enough.”
“Boop!”
“A little!”
A violent shock was felt in the back of Lucia’s head, and she felt her vision, which had only now become slightly brighter, shake again.
In her shaky vision, Lucia could see that the bride grabbed her mouth with her hand and banged her head against the wall.
“Shut up, Lucia. It’s noisy, isn’t it hard to bear?”
“eww……”
Lucia, who had tried to say something but was afraid that she would hit her head against the wall again, this time made no sound.
“Good, good. Once you killed. So, the nun of Demeter, who was framed for killing her, was the first prince’s henchman.”
What are you talking about?
Did I kill you? You said you wrote a false name?
Lucia didn’t understand at all, but the priest continued talking without caring about such Lucia at all.
“How could a royal dog bear the name of a noble saint? right, lucia? So you sacrificed. You killed the whore of Demeter and burned yourself to give us a warm light.”
