288 – Decisive Battle – 8
A golden carpet was laid along the trail of Caicilia’s holy sword. The path the old man’s holy sword cut through was also covered with a golden carpet, but the color was a bit duller.
As the bright golden light and the dull golden light collided with each other, the two groups of lights engulfed and devoured each other, becoming entangled together. A geometric pattern emerged from among the intertwined lights.
Exactly one second later, the floor exploded, creating a shockwave. The area brightened for a moment, then returned to normal. Darkness covered the spot where the light had disappeared.
Kai Killia cut through the lingering shockwave and ran to her strangely dressed old man. The golden eyes were aimed directly at the grotesque.
‘They look oddly similar.’
From the moment she wielded the holy sword that was identical to the holy sword she used before, she thought something was strange, but after her workshop a few times, she thought it was strange. Only increased
Since the holy sword is so famous, even if she somehow brought a counterfeit, the fact that even the swordsmanship she uses resembles it is impossible to explain.
The golden linoleum that had engulfed her a moment before also terrifyingly matched Cayquilia’s, except that the color was slightly duller.
‘Because it looks disgusting.’
And, Kai Kilia was so disgusting and unpleasant that she couldn’t stand it. She said that an old man who was no different from such a psychopath resembled herself.
The very existence of that thing was an insult and an insult to Caicilia.
Kai Killia put her anger and flesh into her holy sword and swung it. The holy sword shining with brilliant jewels and the holy sword made of rugged iron collided. A golden light flashed at the spot where they collided.
At first it seemed like an equal power struggle, but the results were soon revealed. Since the old man had already lost one of her arms in Cae Cilia’s attack, there was no way he could win in a contest of strength.
Her body slowly pushed back. Cacilia growled.
“You really have no intention of revealing your true identity.”
“… ….”
This time, the answer was silent.
Kai Killia snorted at her and tightened her arms. Even if I keep spending my time like this, I don’t think I’ll say anything, so what should I do? Just have to kill
I was curious about his identity, but I can’t afford to spend time on torture here, so it’s only right to kill him.
The old man’s legs were pushed further back. When he got to the point where he was about to lose his balance, he seemed to change his strategy. After twisting his arm, he recklessly swung the holy sword.
“Okay. I will do whatever you want.”
I struck the holy sword toward his swinging arm. The blade, made of blades and lights, neatly cut through the man’s wrist. His severed wrist fell to the floor. It was the same as holding his iron handle.
The old man continued to attack even while his left arm had been ripped off and his right wrist cut off. It looked like he was going to bite it with his mouth.
“It’s so disgusting I can’t stand it.”
Kai Kilia took a step behind her and grabbed her holy sword with one hand. At the same time, she slightly removed her right arm and prepared to cast a thrust.
Both sides seemed to be rushing at each other, but only Caicilia had the right to attack. Because there are no more weapons in the hands of men.
ㅡ Fu-wook!
A blade made of light pierced the old man’s neck. Cai Killia pushed her arm in that state. The blade broke horizontally and cut off the remaining parts that were not penetrated.
Her neck, which had lost its link with her body, fell off. With a slap, her head fell onto the red liquid.
“If you do not answer, pay for that sin with your own life.”
Caecilia kicked the old man in the stomach vigorously. With the feeling of his internal organs being shattered, the headless body floated into the air and then crashed to the ground a long way away.
Red liquid splattered, and the jewels and decorations clinging to her clothes scattered in all directions with a whooshing sound. Her body didn’t move anymore.
Kai Kilia, who watched her corpse for a while in preparation for an unforeseen situation, reverse-summoned her holy sword after confirming that she hadn’t even moved for over 5 seconds.
‘I don’t know where the popes are.’

At first, they fought where they managed to locate each other, but then the Popes, worried that Caiquelia would get caught up in her blinding divine spells, fell at a distance.
In fact, I was almost brushed by the divine spells used by those strange things a few times, so it wasn’t unreasonable to worry.
“…… How far did you disappear?”
Kai Kilia, who looked around her, muttered that. She couldn’t see anything about divine power.
Eventually, Kai Kilia pulled out her holy sword again. It would be impossible to pinpoint her exact location, but if it was a rough direction, she would be able to detect and grasp the divine power with her holy sword.
“… ….”
Cai Killia sensed her divine power with her holy sword, but she quietly looked back at her. It was because she heard something strange in her ears.
“You really meant to tear her limbs apart.”
She was apparently having a seizure as the body fell without even moving. Her body twitched, twisted, and her legs flapped. Drop by drop, her body soaked into the red liquid on the floor.
“Has she not died yet?”
The tip of her holy sword returned to the old man’s corpse. The body that had been wriggling like a seizure slowly stood up.
Her severed arms sprouted anew, her body elongated as if it had been pulled up and down, and her back bent forward at 90 degrees with the sound of her spine snapping.
The arm’s regenerative power did not stop even after replacing the two digits that had already been cut off. Two, three, four…… The number continued to increase, and eventually more than 10 arms sprouted and covered half of the upper body.
“If I knew that would make a difference, I would personally admire your stupid intelligence.”
Kai Killia energized her holy sword. If the number of her arms increased, just cut off the increased number. It was a very simple and sure method.
She came to a conclusion and was about to attack her, but Cai Kilia stopped her feet when she saw a dull golden light gathering on the old man’s arm. The group of light gathered in each of her arms gradually changed into the shape of a sword.
Seeing the holy swords aimed at her all at once, Kai Killia frowned.
In the midst of her frenzied fighting, Kai Kilia suddenly noticed a familiar sign appearing.
Including Aurora, it was the other six people who hadn’t awakened their souls until Cacilia and the Popes left to help Delta. Seeing that he came this far, it seemed that he had succeeded in awakening.
Except for one completely unexpected person.
Obviously, he asked for the preservation of the empire and handed over the emperor’s seat, but if the emperor’s seat became vacant, I wondered how he would have dared to step into such a place without fear.
No, the fact that Laura came here means that there is no one to give her orders.
‘…… I can’t even see Minerva.’
Among the people in the audience room, the tall, short woman and Minerva were not included in the party. I wondered where the two of them had gone.
“Caecilia! Do you need help!”
A booming voice rang out. Not only Iris, who had shouted those words, but also the other three Knight Commanders of the Silver Dawn Knights, and Stella and Selene were all ready for battle.
Except for Aurora, who was forced to step back.
“This bastard belongs to me! I will kill you with my own hands, you seek the popes!”
Kai Kilia resolutely held out her helping hand.
It was because the unpleasant and disgusting feelings I felt when I first met him were still there. After his appearance was grotesquely distorted, he became a little less, but he did not completely disappear.
I thought it would feel awkward if I subjugated this with someone else. From start to finish, cutting off his head had to be the responsibility of only one person, Caicilia.
Iris was rejected with a single helping hand, but there was no one here who could not understand her actions.
“…… Also that too?”
“Seeing that he intends to kill with his own hands, there is a high probability of doing so.”
Because everyone here has been dealing with imitations of him.
The moment I saw that, I felt her strong displeasure and murderous intent for no reason to her, and I strongly felt that she must catch it with her own hands.
Looking at the holy sword in that weirdo’s hand, there was a high probability that it was an imitation of Caicilia. So it was understandable to say that he would deal with that alone.
It’s a replica of Caicilia, but it’s a little seriously different in appearance.
“Let me follow that. Claudia, Erica, Lize. You remain here escorting His Majesty Aurora. Just in case you don’t know, don’t relax so that I can help you over there.”
“Are you Iris?”
“Just Caicilia…… Didn’t you say Find the popes. Perhaps the Holy Fathers are also fighting counterfeits. We will find them and help them.”
“Okay.”
The three knight commanders quietly nodded. Having finished distributing her roles, Iris turned to Stella and Selene.
“Can you tell me where the Holy Fathers are?”
“Ummm…… It’s this way. I feel a tremendous divine power in this direction.”
After Iris disappeared following the Heretic Judge and the Heretic Questioner, the remaining four observed the strange being fighting Caicilia.
“That is strange. Is that an imitation of Caicilia? You’re not even human at all. Aside from holding the holy sword, there’s no resemblance, right?”
“…… I’m not sure, but I have a guess.”
Hearing Rize’s murmur, Aurora carefully opened her mouth. Three pairs of eyes, each with a different color, focused on Aurora.
“That, too, is likely part of another experiment. It is a combination of several abilities.”
It’s just speculation because the information in my memory has been somehow woven together. However, it was also a speculation that could never be ignored.
Aurora was going to pick up Minerva and waited impatiently for Nix and her goddess to return.
I kept feeling ominous.
