209 – Lucifer guides evil – 4
The red eyes in the sky were only for a moment. By the time I checked the sky again, wondering if I was mistaken, it had already disappeared a long time ago.
It was very embarrassing to pass it up as if I was looking at it wrong.
Anyway, the sky is a red color, and there are even red things rising indiscriminately from the sun and moon, so I want to believe that I saw it wrong, but there were not just one or two things that bothered me.
While I was lost in thought, Lucifer vigorously threw the tree root spear in his hand. He threw it so hard that it sounded like a cannon shot.
It was the opening pattern of the 2nd phase.
A huge pillar made of intertwined tree roots shot forward like a darting arrow. There was even a dark red aura unique to demons in the spear.
The pointy tip of the spear flew at breakneck speed, tearing through the nearby air. I sorted out the mess. Now was the time to focus on fighting again.
I clenched my left hand and prepared to cast black magic. A black magic circle was drawn on his left hand with the feeling that his physical strength was draining. The sound of the tip of a spear cutting through the air came closer.
He stretched out his left hand at exactly the right time. The spear that flew with the momentum to pierce everything at the point of impact was sucked into the magic circle drawn on my hand and disintegrated and absorbed.
I tugged at his arm. His clenched fists trembled. Even at first glance, an ominous black aura was circulating all around the lower elbows.
Lucifer, who created a huge spear made of tree roots again, slumped down. His wings fluttered vigorously behind his back.
At the same time, arms entwined with tree roots emerged from the bubbling river of blood. The owner of the arm soon showed up.
It was something about the same size as me, like a 1/2 scaled version of Lucifer. His entire body was covered with tree roots, and he was holding a spear in his right hand as well.
However, unlike the main body with an eye on one side of his face, nothing could be seen on that guy’s face. It was also strange that he could only see ahead like that.
Blood dripped from his body. Kim rose up.
‘Just one.’
Perhaps the producer wanted to keep the concept of the Demon King alive, but he was the one who summoned him only in Phase 2.
And not even one. Three more of them, which looked similar to the first one that popped out, came out.
They stood in the way between Lucifer and me and pointed their weapons at me in turn. The weapons each held were also different.
The first one that appeared was a spear, the second one was a long sword and shield, the third one was a great sword, and the last one was a huge bow.
‘It shouldn’t be much of a problem to catch it.’
If it were my current specs, that would be it. It is enough to catch them with four or five Enchant Guns, a wingless nightmare. That didn’t change even in the della mode.
The real problem is that, unlike vanilla, in della mode they keep replenishing until they pass a phase. Not just four, but even more.
If left unattended, he could have had to fight dozens of clones.
Changed the properties of the wingless nightmare. The sword body returned to a gray light. He put his left hand, which still had a vicious aura, on the upper part of the cross guard and pushed it up as if stroking it.
Black flames burned at the spot where his hand brushed past. The firepower was further enhanced thanks to the ashes magic, so the flames were stronger than before.
Lucifer held out her hand holding her spear. Using that as a signal, the three rushed at once. The guy with the bow was an exception because he was standing still and pulling the bowstring.
‘The one in the front first.’
After I finished my calculations, I moved my seat a bit. The guy with the bow was aiming at me, and at the same time, the back of the head of the other guys rushing in front came in. In line with the action, the bowstring was slightly twisted to the side.
Because these guys have the characteristic of wielding weapons regardless of whether or not there are comrades around.
An arrow was fired with a sound. Perhaps his stupid intelligence was the same, instead of sticking in me, the arrow went into the back of the head of the last guy in the same line of fire.
The guy who was approaching with a greatsword and was suddenly attacked by the same side lowered his head and took a few steps forward while staggering.
And the knife-wielding guy took the opportunity to swing his weapon and quickly backed away. The tip of his sword narrowly cut through the air. He wielded his wingless nightmare as it repositioned itself.
Black flames burrowed into the side of the shield, scorching tree roots. The burnt roots fell to the ground.
Now it was time for an attack from behind. I didn’t even check it out and rolled off the side. As soon as I did, a window was pierced in the spot where I was.
Empty! And the tip of the spear bounced off the shield. The man with the spear staggered his body from the recoil.
In front of me, a greatsword was raised with both hands. One of the clones that had recovered before I knew it had lifted it. The bastard was ready to wield it. I rolled over once more and got out.
The slanted greatsword struck the ribs of the man with the spear instead of me. There was a sound of something breaking, and the body of the one hit by the greatsword floated into the air.
The tree root man, whose body was bent like the symbol ‘＜’, flew in the direction the greatsword was swung. And, it collided heavily with the shield. Because of that, the guy with the shield also staggered his body.
An arrow shot through the back of the head of a man with a great sword who accomplished the great feat of incapacitating two people with a single cut! Crashed with a sound His head snapped forward.
It was fortunate that they had the same intelligence as the game.
“Lambs that serve God.”
Floretta’s voice resonated with the people gathered under the brilliant sunlight. Hundreds or even thousands of pairs of gazes were directed at the two.
The Pope of the Sun and the Pope of the Moon.
“For countless years, we have given our pleasure to the sun and full moon. We sang for God’s pleasure and prayed for God’s favor. Praise the brilliant sun and cool full moon. I put down everything I had and went only for God.”
Of course, Stella and Selene stood closest.
Stella stood with the weight of her mace on the ground, her handle pointed up to the sky, and Selene stood with her rapier gripped firmly with the point pointed at the ground.
Margarita’s seat was about a step away from the Inquisitor and Inquisitor. It’s not on the level of Stella and Selene, but it’s because I’ve been given such an ambiguous position that’s higher than that of a paladin.
The armor was also a little different. The fact that it was completely pure white was the same as the other paladins, but three black lines were drawn on her chest.
“We found rest in the bosom of God.”
As Floretta finished her words, the world fell silent. Even though there were thousands of people gathered, not even a clatter could be heard.
Floretta, who looked at the people in the square for a while, opened her mouth again.
“However, there are things out there that obscure the light.”
Resolute determination dwelled in the emerald-like color and shape of the green eyes.
“To deceive men, to blaspheme, to mock God. I can’t even put it in my mouth, and I can’t even put it in my mouth. There are groups of people who do it casually.”
As if responding to Floretta, the brilliant sunlight came down on her head. It was as if Floretta had entered a pillar of light.
“Today, we are going to punish the wicked one.”
This time, Luna stepped forward.
Naturally, Floretta took a step back. When Luna opened her mouth, a full moon appeared in the sky even though it was still broad daylight, and she gave Luna a light. It was enough to call her a miracle.
“I will make it so that you can no longer tarnish God’s name.”
Purple eyes scanned the crowd of thousands.
“We will win.”
It was a very quiet tone, but it resonated very clearly.
Heretic Inquisitor and Heretic Questioner. And dozens of combat nuns directly under him. She has hundreds of battle nuns just short of that. And hundreds of paladins dressed in pure white armor.

Finally, thousands of followers who watched with reverence the pope’s proclamation of Holy War. There was no one who couldn’t hear the voice resounding in the square.
“Get up. Lambs of God With that hand, awaken true faith in the evil ones, so that the gods may fulfill their wishes.”
Floretta walked out to her original seat. The small sun on the four pairs of wings in her right hand shone.
Luna straightened up in her seat. The small full moon on the four pairs of wings in her left hand shone.
The holy relics symbolizing the sun and moon were shining so brightly that even non-believers could feel it.
Floretta and Luna, who lifted the relic to the height of their heads, whispered in a loud voice. It was an oxymoron, but it really was.
“May the benevolent sun shine everywhere.”
“May the merciful full moon embrace everything.”
Floretta and Luna closed their mouths after that.
There was nothing like the thunderous shouts or applause that usually accompany speeches like this. Rather, it was so quiet that it gave me goosebumps.
Ordinary believers knelt down and offered a sincere prayer for the sun and moon, and for the agents of the sun and moon who would wage a sacred war from now on.
The battle nuns under Stella didn’t scream either. He just quietly slammed the floor with the shield in his hand a few times to express his feelings.
The same was true of the combat nuns under Selene. He just quietly brought the rapier in her hand straight up in front of her face, with the tip of her blade pointing towards the sky.
It was the same with the paladins. He got down on one knee and bowed his head toward the light shining overhead.
You don’t know what kind of powerful enemy you will have to deal with. You never know what will happen. Dozens or hundreds of demons could attack at the same time. You may lose your life more lightly.
However, the fact that the popes who had been out of the cathedral for decades came out and blessed them, and just being able to fight alongside the pope made their morale skyrocket.
In addition to that, there are holy relics created by the gods themselves.
The sun and full moon above the relic began to shine. Light converged between the two Popes, and another world opened between the great circles.
People who checked the scenery inside the circle vomited at the terrible sight.
The land was lifeless and withered, the sky was a hideous bloody color, rivers ran blood like water, and mountains of human skulls towered above mountains of earth.
It was literally hell.
The popes stepped into that hell. Spotlessly clean high heels trampled the dry dirt. Emotionless eyes stared straight ahead.
The sun and moon began to rise over the demons who were lucky enough to survive because they were not on the path of movement of Cecilia and Delta.
