Episode 121. 5 minutes is all it takes
“good job. Gaos.”
The inner living room of the Holy See.
Aaron stroked Gaos’ head.
After many twists and turns, he finished his mission and put the fallen paladins in the Pope’s room and contacted Aaron with Landis.
On the way there, we ran into guards on patrol a couple of times, but with Landis’ authority, we were able to pass safely.
“But why are you wearing that outfit? Didn’t you have time to change?”
Nesty looked at Gaos’s outfit and covered her mouth and giggled.
The white frills were fluttering, and the figure approaching with quick steps was like a doll.
“The Pope, that madman… Big hum. The Pope burned my clothes.”
Gaos, who had been swearing at the pope with an angry face, was startled when he saw Landis, then changed his tone.
Although the pope had made a great mistake, he somehow noticed that he was openly cursing in front of the cardinal.
“this… It’s Brunach. how did you find it? His Holiness would not have given it up easily.”
Looking at the white shining spearhead, Vinkel exclaimed in admiration.
The spear given by the Goddess, Brunak is considered so sacred that even the Pope cannot carelessly touch it.
The fact that it’s here means that the Pope took it out himself.
Even though he looks lax on the outside, he is stronger than any other cardinal.
“I just did what Aaron told me to do.”
Gaos gave a brief account of what had happened in the Pope’s chambers.
The pope, who had left Gaos locked up, returned at noon and urged him to read a children’s book.
The children who had been released after being punished were terrified if they were caught, but thanks to Gaos hanging them for a while, they were able to get over safely.
“I lay in bed with the Pope and read a storybook I had memorized in the stone chamber. It was truly disgusting.”
Gaos trembled as if recalling that moment.
Fortunately, the pope quickly fell asleep.
However, it was impossible to use magic or move because he was holding Gaos tightly.

Gaos anticipated that and cast an invisibility magic on Maron, the most courageous child.
Maron, who secretly followed the Pope and Gaos, put a piece of Azazel’s horn into the cup of water that the Pope always drinks after lunch.
It was large enough to be noticed upon closer inspection, but the pope awoke and drank the water without question.
After that, it was a breeze.
After eating Azazel’s horn, the Pope lost all his divine power for a short time and was exposed to Gaos’ magic.
“I hypnotized the incapacitated Pope. And I made them touch the objects shown in the picture.”
The hypnotized pope moved like a puppet and obeyed Gaos’s commands.
And after a while, the marble tiles on the floor of the room opened, and Brunak sprang out from below.
“Dear His Holiness… You fed Azazel’s horns?”
After hearing the story, Landis put on an absurd expression.
Gaos, who had been talking about martial arts with a excited face, said sorry and pointed his finger at Aaron.
“I just did what he said.”
“… … So what happened to His Holiness?”
Landis continued with a look of concern and curiosity.
“I just soaked it. It will take half a day for the divine power to return, so today will be fine.”
If it were a normal priest, he would have been engulfed in demonic energy and turned into a monster as soon as he ate Azazel’s horn, but the Pope only lost his divine power for a moment, and there were no side effects.
Aaron expected this part and handed over the horn fragment.
“Your Highness will be fine. The problem is us.”
Aaron changed the subject.
Obtaining Brunak was just the beginning.
The Paladins who guarded the Pope’s residence disappeared, so others will soon notice this situation.
I had to get to the bible quickly before I was discovered.
“… … The Bible is in the central great hall.”
Landis said in a stern voice and then turned around.
“Now let’s go catch the parasite.”
* * *
“Someone broke into His Holiness’ residence.”
“I heard you killed the paladins guarding the door?”
“The head was smashed and the area in front of His Holiness’ residence became a sea of blood. I saw it.”
“oh my god. Who would do such a terrible thing… … .”
A wide corridor that runs through the center of the Holy See.
The young priestesses stomped and talked.
a few minutes ago. The news that the pope was attacked by a gangster shocked the Vatican.
However, contrary to the inflated rumors, the Paladins guarding the front of the residence were fine.
I couldn’t remember what happened just before, probably because of a big shock to my head, and the Pope was also unconscious in a deep sleep.
“Ako!”
The priestesses, who were walking while looking at each other, collided without seeing the man approaching in front of them.
“Are you okay?”
The man reached out his hand to the priestess who fell on her buttock.
“yes. it’s okay… … ?”
The priestess, who had fallen, took his hand and got up, then stopped talking in thought.
“Chu, Your Excellency Cardinal.”
“sorry. We can’t see… … .”
The other priestesses standing next to them bowed their heads.
Cardinal, Landis shook his head with a kind smile.
“I am fine. Are there any injuries?”
“yes. doesn’t exist.”
“Good thing. Come on, let’s go.”
“yes. Cardinal Eminence.”
The priests bowed their heads at Landis’ gesture and left as if they were running away.
“I thought the rumors had already spread?”
“Quiet. If you get caught, you throw it as bait and it bounces.”
A whisper came from his exceptionally thick shadow.
Except for Landis, the three of them hid in the shadows with the help of Shade.
It takes a high degree of concentration to accurately follow the movement of the shadow, but there is a high risk of being caught if you keep chattering next to it.
thump thump-
Landis strode toward the Great Hall, leaving behind the busy crowd.
“Your Excellency Cardinal Landis.”
As he approached the entrance of the Great Hall, the paladins guarding the door stopped him.
“I’m sorry, but you can’t enter the Great Hall right now.”
“hmm?”
Landis looked at them questioningly.
“Isn’t the Great Hall a prayer room opened by the Goddess for anyone to enter? But can’t you come in?”
“Until the culprit of the raid on His Holiness is caught, entry to the Great Synagogue is forbidden. These are direct orders from other cardinals. I thought Cardinal Landis knew about it.”
The light of vigilance in the eyes of the Paladins was young.
iron-
The snake at the nape of his neck slowly uncoiled and the steel gauntlet gripped the hilt in a slow motion.
Landis smiled and checked to see if anyone was around, then secretly beckoned to the paladins.
“Would you lend me your ears for a second?”
“… … .”
The Paladins, who hesitated for a moment, came forward with their sword hilts gripped with the intention of trying to find out.
Landis whispered close to them.
“For Belial.”
“… … !”
The eyes of the paladins were wide open and bright red eyes flashed.
It was because Landis opened the front drawer to reveal what was inside.
“Brunack… … .”
The Holy Spear, Brunak, had lost its original brilliance and was shedding gloomy demonic energy.
If Belial absorbs that, it’s only a matter of time before Zeroth is eroded by immorality.
There was no need to grow taller by using your hair like this.
“His Holiness entrusted this to me instead of stepping out directly. They say there are still many eyes in the Holy See.”
Landis looked around again and took care of Brunak with a nervous expression.
“Be careful, in case any other cardinals try to stop you. The enemy is always within.”
“… … I will keep that in mind.”
“Come on in.”
The Paladins looked around for a while to see if anyone was around, then opened the door to the Great Hall slightly.
“Thank you.”
Landis left a brief greeting and went through the door.
“… … Look at this. Is there anyone?”
Confirming that the door was closed, he asked in a loud voice.
However, only his voice resounded in the empty Great Hall, but there was no answer coming back.
“I guess I can come out now.”
After examining the atmosphere for a moment, he looked down at the shadow and said.
Courage!
As soon as the words were finished, the motionless shadow grew bigger and four people came out with a loud sound.
“oh my… … .”
“I thought I was going to die of frustration.”
“I think I’ll live a little longer.”
After being crouched in a small place for a long time, everyone was in a bad state.
“Cardinal. Are you good at it?”
Aaron smiled at Landis.
His performance was so excellent that Belial showed himself.
The paladins’ eyes turned red and demonic energy flowed out as proof.
“Hmm. I didn’t do it because I wanted to.”
Landis coughed shyly and averted his gaze.
“Now, everyone, let’s stop making a fuss and go. I don’t have time.”
Aaron gestured toward the hesitant group.
In the game, if you attack Belial through this method, you will be given 30 minutes after entering the synagogue.
When the designated attack time was over, all the Cardinals, Paladins, and Combat Priests of the Vatican rushed in, and it was effectively a dead ending.
“Nesty.”
“yes. going now.”
Nesti hurriedly approached Aaron’s call and stood in front of the statue of the goddess.
The Bible is in a large place beyond this icon, and permission from a saint or pope was required to go there.
“I won’t be looking at the Bible for a long time.”
Nesti has only seen the Bible once.
Partly because the cardinals and popes strictly control the archives of the Bible, and above all, Nesti herself did not like it.
When the voice of the goddess resonates in my head, what is the need to read the Bible?
“Sefiroth. Your daughter is here to be taught.”
Nesti looked up at the statue for a moment, then knelt down and began to pray.
Then, a faint light flowed from the icon that was quietly overlooking the Great Hall.
“Still, it seems that the saintess is a saintess.”
Gaos looked at Nesty with bright eyes.
I always had a light appearance, so I didn’t have any perception that she was a saint, but when I saw this, my thoughts changed again.
Kwak!
As Nesty’s prayer reached its climax, a sudden roaring sound was heard.
“… … !”
Except for Nesty, everyone in the party turned their heads in amazement.
Entrance to the synagogue. There was a large hole in the lock of the solid iron door.
Intercepting device-
The next moment, the dented iron door slowly opened with a creepy sound.
“… … You said you came already?”
Aaron’s eyebrows twitched as he saw the scene beyond the door.
Five Cardinals in white uniforms, dozens of heavily armed Paladins, and thousands of combat priests were tightly filling the corridor in front of the Great Hall.
‘It’s been less than 5 minutes since I came in.’
After noticing the intrusion, the call for troops is announced, and it takes a considerable amount of time for them to gather in formation.
However, as if they already knew this would happen, they came pouring in as soon as the party entered the Great Hall.
‘We were caught.’
It wasn’t Belial who was tricked.
Belial had brought the party here.
‘okay. If you ate the heart first, you should clean this up.’
In the game, when you attack him, you deal with most of the Vatican’s minions and enter the boss battle.
However, this time, it seemed that this happened as the attack was carried out in an infiltration format without dealing with minions.
‘It’s too late. Belial.’
Aaron looked at the tightly lined army and muttered to himself.
I tried my best, but it was already too late.
If he wanted to avoid subjugation, he should have moved this army a long time ago.
“Protect Belial.”
“Protect Belial.”
“Protect Belial.”
When they saw the group gathered in front of the statue of the goddess, they entered the Great Hall one step at a time, muttering in chorus.
Red eyes flashed in everyone’s eyes, as if they had already been completely consumed by Belial.
“… … Let them go.”
said Landis, clenching his fists.
He has prided himself on being stronger than all the cardinals in Zeroth.
Even though I couldn’t defeat them all, I was able to buy some time to purify the Bible.
“I will help too.”
Vinkel approached and stood next to Landis, who was resolute.
“Archbishop Winkel. you… … .”
“For a brief moment in the past, I had doubts about the integrity of the saintess’ eminence. Please give the goddess a chance to atone.”
“… … Aaron. How long do you think it will take?”
Landis looked at Vinkel in silence and asked Aaron.
Aaron spread his fingers with an expressionless face.
“Five minutes is all it takes.”
Kurur-!
The next moment, the statue of the goddess began to rotate with a brilliant light.
