117. gatekeeper
I was perplexed.
As a trump card prepared by the cathedral, Michaela had no choice but to admit that a being that she had never imagined had appeared.
It was caught right off the bat, but if you ask if it’s threatening, only a snort leaks out.
‘The only card you brought was a murder suspect?’
Even if it was poor, it was too poor.
Well, you’re trying to prove their innocence here?
‘The size is just right.’

Just looking at the priests with swollen faces, like Hana walking from behind, it made me cringe.
I’m trying to get rid of the false accusation and give him a chance by re-electing as a new saint candidate.
‘Is that the only thing wearing your hair?’
Even if the cathedral side was willing to bear their own losses, the will itself was clearly felt to prevent Michaela and the other nuns from becoming saints.
‘It doesn’t matter anyway.’
It doesn’t matter that the murder suspect was framed. Being a ‘murder suspect’ is the important thing. Citizens had no choice but to look at Lucia while wearing colored glasses.
‘I have the power to stimulate it to the limit.’
A pinkish tint began to flow from Michaela’s mouth. The moment Lucia steps up to the podium, the citizens who are ruled by her will raise their voices of anger.
But then.
The first to stand on the podium was a blonde paladin wearing a yellow suit. No, to be precise, it was someone wearing Paladin’s clothes.
‘what? Are there paladins I don’t know about?’
Since the number of Paladins itself was small, there was no way that Michaela, who was meticulous, would not know anyone.
A very young boy for a paladin. He looks like a student, but his appearance must have made many women cry.
It wasn’t just the boy’s appearance that caught Michaela’s eyes.
The pattern of the god Helios painted on his hands.
Ares Helias nodded toward the screen and continued speaking.
“I will pause the election of the saints for a moment, and I will explain the accusations against Candidate Lucia, the outline of the case, and the true culprit.”
That’s fine.
As I said before, even if you are framed, you can make citizens boil just by being a suspect in murder.
However.
The boy’s hands leaked light.
Let the sun’s light, which cleanses the unclean, begin to flow gently.
“uh?”
“what? What have I been up to?”
“Michaela!”
The power of the imprint on the ignorant nun candidates in their hands disappeared, and they regained their senses and began to argue with Michaela.
The embarrassment that hit the back of the head quickly turned into anger, and of course it was directed at the boy who was emitting the light of the sun god.
If left as it is, the imprint on the brainwashed citizens on the other side of the screen will be released.
Feeling desperate at the sudden appearance of Ares, Michaela’s lips begin to emit pink energy. An appearance resembling a demonic beast that emits poison smoke.
“Go and cut the power itself!”
She once again tried to use her power to manipulate the people around her, but in response, Ares’ protection from the sun god shone even more.
“What the hell is this?”
helplessness.
It is also an overwhelming sense of helplessness where you feel the gap between God and God that you can’t help yourself.
Michaela herself was chosen by the goddess of beauty and love, so she laughed inwardly at the bishops and paladins who had no power.
Because there was an obvious gap between them and himself that God had chosen.
Then who is that man?
What on earth is the difference between you and that man who simply melts all your magic into a single light?
The spell of love and beauty was melting in the brilliant light of the sun god, but her wish was miraculously fulfilled.
The power of the screen that was being transmitted went out.
“what? Why is this?”
“I think the power was cut off in the underground magic power supply room?”
Of course, a huge mana generator was needed to transmit the screen to the 17 screens installed throughout Batian, but it seemed to have stopped working.
“done! It’s done!”
If you stop Lucia from speaking at all, it’s over. Even if she’s registered as a candidate, if she doesn’t show her face properly, the bishops won’t be able to force her to vote for a saint even if she doesn’t have her own strength.
Michaela pushed away all the nuns who were arguing with her, putting out a triumphant smile.

Chick, Chick.
A dagger embedded in a generator.
Recognizing that the situation was going strangely through the screen that was sent out, the lady dispatched the Extermination Team to the magic power generation room in the basement of the cathedral to prevent the flow from going over.
“Okay, it’s completely smashed.”
“When I heard the sound from outside, it seems that the transmission has definitely stopped.”
It was a saintly election that had become a mess, but if the flow was blocked by force, Michaela, who stood out the most and impressed, had no choice but to become a saintess.
The members tried to go back with a satisfied smile on the inside of the white hood that covered their mouths.
hooked!
hooked!
A dagger that was accurately inserted into the chests of two people. The two people who grabbed their hearts fell to the floor and died before they had time to roll their eyes to find the culprit.
“You’re a step late.”
At the entrance to the power plant, Sen clicks his tongue and sighs.
She was waiting to respond to the action of the Extermination Crew, but the movement of the Extermination Crew, based on the lady’s 6th sense, preceded her.
“It’s okay, I’ll take a look.”
Rin, who was with Sen, slowly reached out to the generator, and the dark energy flowing from her chest began to suck up all nearby mana this time.
“really……”
It was to the point where Sen muttered, “What kind of ability do you have?”
Rin’s performance in Batian this time was dazzling, in contrast to his ability in a gloomy atmosphere.
Starting from helping him escape from prison on his own, Rin gave him the information that Ares’ Helios’ imprint could defeat Aphrodite’s.
When he absorbed Ares into himself, the imprints of the two collided with each other, and thanks to that, Rin was able to reveal abilities that even the owner of the imprint did not know.
A black aura began to surround the generator.
As if to absorb all the mana in Batian, Rin greedily began to eat it.
Gee ying.
The generator, now completely engulfed by Rin’s ability and turned black, began to operate slowly.
“done!”
But it wasn’t a situation I liked.
As the broadcast began to be broadcast again, the footsteps of the extermination squad members could be heard, realizing that their mission had failed.
Rin is unable to fight because he is absorbing mana and running the generator.
Moreover, her opponents were beings that could be called her old colleagues, but she retrieved the dagger she had driven into the previous two without any hesitation and grabbed it in reverse.
“sen……”
“I heard you escaped.”
“You betrayed the Extermination Squad and inflicted harm on your comrades. You are summarily executed.”
The members of the Extermination Squad are glaring at Sen with ferocious spirit.
If until just now they were simply dolls that moved for their mission, they were now beasts ready to tear Sen to death.
“When you come out of the Squadron, you can learn and gain more than you think.”
But nonetheless, Sen gave them a sympathetic smile. Sen, who had suppressed his emotions through drugs, was mildly shocked by the natural expression he thought he would never be able to make for the rest of his life.
“for example.”
To them, Sen made full use of his wit as an assassin and blew the first strike.
“A very strong older brother.”

Realizing that she could not stand still, she crossed the interior of the cathedral with the remaining members.
The most filthy ones who roam freely in the most sacred places. This alone was already considered blasphemy.
The power supply was stopped by sending the members, but the generator started running again, and the screen was continuously being sent out to Batian.
On the screen, Ares is clearing the frames of nun Lucia one by one and sniping Michaela, the black screen, in reverse, but that was not the point.
The point is that Aphrodite’s brainwashing that was hanging on the citizens is being released by using the Helios engraving on the back of his hand.
“If I had known this would happen, I would have killed him then.”
The lady who had killed and kidnapped Ares herself was trembling and hurriedly heading towards the chapel.
Destroying the generator will not solve the essential problem in the end, so you go and fix the situation yourself.
‘If you kill the child named Ares and brainwash the bishops and paladins again through Michaela’s imprint, it will be over.’
They were the ones who didn’t give Michaela a chance, but they thought of creating an environment where they could be forcibly brainwashed by the Extermination Squad.
I headed for that huge door.
The lady felt again the moment-forgotten sensation.
The feeling of absolute death that I felt for the first time on the streets of Batian right in front of me.
“Go and stay with Lucia. Because there may be some useless variable.”
“Okay, be careful too.”
An auburn short-haired girl enters the chapel, and a dark-haired boy slowly closes the chapel’s huge door.
“That guy!”
“The enemy of comrades!”
“Madam! Order now!”
Daniel McLain, who was known as the face of the Extermination Team, of course, was known within the Expulsion Team, as he had already spearheaded the Expulsion Squad that was already in Batian.
The detainees who came as a secondary support were waiting for the lady’s command to avenge their comrades immediately, but she could not open her mouth recklessly.
I don’t like to fight.
Her sixth sense was again viciously warning.
If you fight, you die without any variables.
As he ascended to the position of second-in-command in the Elimination Squad, it was the first time he had felt that he did not want to fight, so his breathing became a little rough.
The man on the other side sat on the floor and leaned against the door with a sword slung over his shoulder with a rather plain expression.
Become the gatekeeper guarding the chapel.
“I can’t go in.”
Leaving a light, but infinitely heavy word.
