282 – Showdown – 2
“Can you guess anything?”
“…… For now, I don’t feel anything in my senses.”
“Me too.”
After Delta fell into endless darkness, the three people left in the red world continued to search for Delta.
My head was confused. Obviously, the requiem worked, but it was because there was no way to figure out why it was alive and where Delta had disappeared.
Floretta and Luna extended their senses to the limit, looking for anything moving nearby, and even flying in the sky to see with their own eyes, but the result was the same.
Kai Killia tried to use her holy sword to break the ground where Delta had crashed, but calmly gave up when it was still intact no matter how many attacks it threw.
Just in time, the popes came down to the floor. The red liquid smeared on each other’s bodies made it even more creepy.
“It looks good to get out of this space first, Caicilia. How about escaping from here and asking the sun and the moon about Delta-sama’s whereabouts?”
“Evangelina is right. The sun and the moon would surely know where Delta is.”
As she did when she came here, she would have to ask the goddess directly where Delta went. It was a very simple solution. Cai Killia nodded her head.
Floretta and Luna infused divine power into the holy relic. A halo of gold and silver lights appeared, and the three of them were about to enter it.
“… ….”
Floretta, Luna, and Caicilia stopped moving without anyone saying anything first. I felt very uncomfortable. It was the first time in my life that I experienced such an unpleasant feeling.
Physiologically, I feel rejected, the expression was exactly right. It was so unpleasant, so disgusting. Caicilia muttered as she saw the pope’s expressions instantly contort.
“I am not the only one who felt it.”
“Yes, Caicilia. Something very tight…… It is a bad feeling.”
“Do you have any insight into the current sensation, Caicilia?”
“There can be no way, right? If I had felt this way twice, I would have been filled with anger instead of displeasure.”
Kai Killia raised her holy sword again and looked around her. What kind of guy is like this-
ㅡChae Ae-aeeng!
In an instant, the holy sword was swung at something flying toward him. It was an act close to instinct. There was a sound like glass breaking.
Kai Killia thrust her holy sword forward and had a power struggle with something of her. She stepped forward and braced her feet, holding the blade of her holy sword with one hand. Anyway, the holy sword does not harm its owner.
Surprisingly, the opponent in front of her was almost equal in strength to Kai Kilia. As her powers were balanced and the situation stuck, Kai Killia finally saw what she was pushing back.
“…… Holy sword?”
It was a holy sword that glowed golden.
Noticing that fact, Kai Kilia abruptly attacked, snapping her arms and throwing her opponent off balance. Her opponent dodged the swinging holy sword and took a stance behind her.
“What are you?”

“…… “
“I asked what the hell was it, that I was holding the same holy sword I used in the past.”
As soon as Kai Killia saw the human in front of her eyes, she was convinced. She said that it was he who made her feel so dirty.
It was an elderly man with white and gray hair, deep wrinkles all over his face as if showing signs of age, and a gray and white beard covering his forehead and chin.
The overall outfit was very fancy. From head to toe, there was no place that was not adorned with jewels and gold, and it was immediately evident that even the uniform was of a high quality.
The cloak that fell behind the shoulders was also luxurious. I wondered what the hell he believed in and wore such extravagant clothes while going out to fight.
As if he were the emperor himself.
“I will ask again. If you’re going to keep your mouth shut this time, it’s up to you what happens after that.”
But that wasn’t the point right now. Cai Killia looked at the holy sword in her old man’s hand with full of her bloodiness.
The blade is completely made of light, but the light intensity of the handle is a bit low, making it look like a rough steel sword.
Obviously, as the relationship with Delta progressed, the Holy Sword before being able to draw out true power was correct.
“Where did you get that sword?”
“… ….”
Instead of answering, the old man pointed the holy sword in his hand.
“You seem to have no intention of answering.”
Kai Killia also smiled and aimed at her holy sword.
“She fully understood the meaning. I will ask you again after cutting off all your limbs. If you like the answer, I will kill you gracefully, if not, I will beg you to kill me.”
The old man’s expression didn’t change at all despite the threatening threat. The body of Kai Kilia who reaped her laughter, her life bloomed rapidly.
“Would you like us to help you, Caicilia?”
“It has been done. I’ll take care of it myself. It would only be embarrassing to try to defeat something like that with the help of someone else from her.”
“I see…” … ?”
Floretta blurted out her words before answering. It was because there was something strange about her eyes.
A human figure was slowly rising from the floor in a place a little far away.
Two of them.
The person standing on the right wore mysterious clothes decorated with gold and precious stones, and the person standing on the left wore mysterious clothes decorated with silver and precious stones. I guess, it was probably a priestly uniform.
The sleeves were so wide that they reached to the knees, and the bottoms that looked like skirts were also dragging against the floor. On his head he wore a high-top hat.
Except for the color of the clothes they were wearing, there was nothing that the two did not look alike. The pattern of clothing, the gait, the posture, and even the face.
As if they were twins.
His face was deeply wrinkled, like a first human. His hair, too, was a mix of gray and white, revealing the years his master had gone through. However, I didn’t have a beard.
The two old men walked slowly, wearing fancy priestly clothes. Floretta and Luna also saw that and frowned like Caicilia.
It was because an indescribable feeling of displeasure ran down my spine.
“Seraphica sister.”
“Yes. Evangelina.”
The two raised the relic without asking anyone first. The small sun and full moon at the end of it emitted a bright light, and it created a huge sphere that looked just like itself and shot it at the old people in front of it.
“…… How?!”
“…… What?!”
But to no avail. For as the old men took out the divine catalyst from their sleeves and wielded it, a sun and a full moon appeared exactly the same size and shape as those made by the popes.
Floretta and Luna were understandably shocked, and in the meantime, the perfectly colored sun and moon swallowed the dark colored sun and moon. There was a huge explosion that seemed to shake the heavens and the earth.
Immediately, the aftermath raged. Sister Pope held hands and waited in silence for the wind to die down. And when the aftermath subsided, he asked a question as if he had been waiting.
“What are you?”
“…… “
There was no reply this time either. The two elderly men simply stood still, their hands gathered horizontally in front of their chests, each tucked into the opposite sleeve.
The Green Eyes and Jaan, who confirmed the fact, formed a life.
“Do you mean to kill me? All right.”
“The sin of daring to insult the sun and moon will never go unpunished.”
The flesh of Floretta and Luna also bloomed. I don’t know who those old people are, but one thing is certain.
They are heretics, and there is no mercy for heretics.
“…… Who are you? How did you get in here?”
“My name is Arcana. Do you think there is a place in this world that I cannot enter?”
“Hmm… ….”
Minerva, who was recovering mana in the imperial garden, opened her eyes in surprise when she suddenly sensed an unusual amount of mana and magical power.
Then he noticed a strangely dressed man standing right next to him. It was a man wrapped in a robe that felt terrifying mana even at first glance.
“You’re welcome. If you have that much mana and magical power, you can enter my magic tower right now. How is it, are you interested?”
Minerva was quite unconcerned when she saw the wizard who suddenly entered the palace. The reason I woke up in surprise just now was because I sensed an unusual amount of mana and magical power, not because of that man.
Among wizards, there were plenty of geeks. There were countless wizards who thought they were the best just because they had some talent.
There was a high probability that the man in front of you was of the same type. If he had a talent like that, he could be counted on one hand even in the Mage Tower managed by Minerva himself. So your pride will pierce the sky.
Of course, it was also Minerva’s job to smash the noses of the wizards who thought she was the best.
“You fool.”
However, this time was different. As soon as the man in the robe said that, the amount of mana and mana started to increase, which had already been at an ignorant level.
At first, Minerva admired that she was still hiding her power, but as the amount increased endlessly, she remembered that something was wrong.
No wonder, the mana and magical power possessed by the man in front of him were almost comparable to Minerva’s.
“…… What are you? Answer me Right Now.”
Wiping the smile from her face, Minerva raised her staff.
A talent worth counting on one hand in the Magic Tower? It could be. A talent that will be located right below Minerva as soon as you enter the Mage Tower? That could be too.
But, what about a talent that rivals Minerva? From that point on, it was a completely different matter.
Especially, if someone with that kind of talent covered the entire imperial palace with an explosion magic circle in that brief moment when Minerva lifted her staff.
“Don’t you know the truth even though you saw it right in front of you?”
The calculation was fast. As soon as Minerva finished her words, she finished the reverse calculation of the magic circle that covered the entire palace, and moved the source of the explosion into the defense magic she used.
ㅡQuaaa!!!!!
At that moment, a huge explosion occurred within the defense magic. Shockwaves and flames constantly reflected on the soft blue curtain, creating geometric patterns.
I even reduced the sound with magic, but even so, the simple sound was enough to shatter all the windows on the wall close to the explosion.
If it hadn’t been stopped, not only the imperial palace but the entire capital of the empire could have evaporated.
Minerva tossed the explosion she had trapped within her defensive magic into the middle of the poison swamp in the southern part of the continent. In that place, only the unlucky insect demons would die.
After taking simple measures, Minerva faced the man with anger. Minerva was also quite tall, but the man in front of him was three heads taller than Minerva.
Despite that, his body was very skinny, and if you add a bit of exaggeration, his appearance was no different from that of a skull.
“What is this? You know he can’t go beyond mere pranks, right?”
“The fate of the world has already been decided. Submit, obey. Salvation is at hand.”
The man drew his magic circle with his wand in his hand. Minerva did not lose either and prepared his magic. Even so, his head contemplated where to move the fighting place.
If you fight here, the capital of the empire will evaporate as well. Such situations must be avoided.
‘Snowy Mountain, or Poison Swamp. A place like that would be nice.’
The target was a snowy mountain in the north of the continent or a poisonous swamp in the south. Whatever it was, it was better if there were no people around.
Minerva was already prepared to draw a new map of the continent. No matter how much he was himself, he didn’t seem to have time to pay attention to his surroundings this time.
‘Those children will be safe.’
Remembering the seven people still in the audience room, Minerva dragged the man in front of her eyes to the snowy mountain.
