A scream filled with pain resounded throughout the room, like an animal spewing out a scream.
“───!”
A mighty demonic energy that emanated from Seil Sieghart’s body.
Not only the space where they were standing, but the entire mansion was enveloped in black smoke.
The Heretic Questioners who witnessed the scene trembled and fell asleep as if in agony.
“Eh, what is this… … .”
“Is this really a human being…? … ? Devil, no drank… am!”
“Ah, it’s Raphael——! For saving us!”
Countless pitch-black spears rose above Seil Sieghart’s head.
Even Chris Valentine, who was a member of the Blue Cross and hunted countless demons and witches, had never felt Magi this intense.
she murmured with a bitter face.
“… … Could it be that he was also a demon worshiper? Sieghart’s descendant is a demon worshiper.”
McDowell, who was wrapped in a black aura all over his body, answered.
“I guess this… It seems that you have been hiding your identity until now. This Magi… … It seems that you are at least a black magician of the apostle level or higher.”
From noble mtl dot com
“I didn’t seem like such a human… … .”
“I agree. I also tried to take him as a disciple, but… … I can’t believe he was a demon worshiper… … What he said was very true.”
“If that child… ?”
“There is a new disciple. The kid said this to me one day. Beware of Seil Sieghart. Don’t be fooled by his mask. He’s a demon worshiper. I didn’t believe it at first. The clan of the hero who saved the empire couldn’t be a demon worshiper… . But after seeing this scene, I have nothing to say.”
“… Let me take the lead. Please cover.”
“Okay.”
Kwagwagwang——!
Jet-black spears rushed in all at once.
Chris Valentine, who charged alone, drew his sword and cut through the spears.
Her pure white sword imbued with divine power cut through most of the spears, but not all.
Unresolved spears pierced the bodies of the Heretic Questioners.
Despite exerting a barrier through holy magic, it penetrated as it was.
“… … Ahh. Hey Raphael… … .”
The Heretic Questioners, who were relatively uninjured, began to treat their dying comrades.
In fact, the only actual combat personnel were Cress Valentine and Sword Demon McDowell.
McDowell murmured as he slashed the black spear that flew in front of him.
“The situation is not good.”
A black chain rose from the floor and wrapped around McDowell’s body.
He heated up his mana and swung his sword, but the more he did, the more the chain tightened his body.
“Annoying!”
Chris Valentine was also in a similar situation.
With every step she took, countless chains rose from the floor and attacked her.
charrr!
Unlike MacDowell, however, the chains vanished powerlessly with each swing of her sword.
Swinging her extended sword, she advanced toward Seil Sieghart.
“Ilya.”
A thick fog spread around Seil Sieghart.
All right. All right.
The sound of horses hooves echoed from somewhere, and a knight appeared with his head in one hand and a huge sword in the other.
A woman’s cry flowed from the mouth of the head she was holding.
Chris Valentine and McDowell frowned when they heard that.
“This… No way, it’s Dullahan! I will take care of that!”
“… please.”
Dyurahan’s sword, riding a ghost horse, collided with McDowell’s sword.
visor!
McDowell, who had been wielding his sword in succession with skillful movements, suddenly fell asleep.
“It’s a fantasy species… … . It’s not that difficult.”
It was because McDowell’s sword was overpowering one-sidedly, but he couldn’t deliver an effective blow.
McDowell calmed down for a moment, and soon showed off his unique swordsmanship.
“Holy Murder.”
The sword wrapped in ink-colored aura bent like a snake and cut off the ghost horse’s head.
Originally, phantasmagoric species could not be damaged by normal physical attacks, but if it was a special artifact or an aura condensed with mana, it was possible to annihilate beyond inflicting wounds.
“It seems that he was a knight who reached a considerable level in his lifetime. However, as I became a monster, I couldn’t exert even half of my original power.”
A sword shot like a ray of light pierced Illya’s nape.
“Ghost kill.”
Illya’s blurred body turned into black smoke and disappeared.
Chris Valletta, thanks to the time McDowell gave him, arrived in front of Seil Sieghart.
She pointed the sword at the opponent in front of her eyes and said.
“… You were in debt.”
But no answer came back.
Only empty purple eyes stared at her.
“Let me pay you back with this.”
She believed that giving death as a messenger of God to those who made the wrong choice was the true salvation.
The moment you want to swing your sword.
“… … ?”
For some reason, the body did not move. White frost was forming on her arms.
“… … government ordinance?”
That was her last word.
hard.
A strong chill rose over her body. Her arms and legs slowly froze.
In less than a second, her entire body froze.
“Sir Chris!”
Then, hellish fire erupted from Zeil’s grip and covered Chris Valentine’s body.
Roaring!
Her frozen body could not stand the intense heat and melted quickly.
The priests of the Church of Raphael, who were watching the scene from behind, were in despair.
They muttered with shocked and astonished faces.
“… … Did Sir Chris get hit?”
“Unbelievable… … .”
“… … No way. Something must be wrong!”
To them, the existence of Chris Balletine was indeed a hero.
An absolute being who defends the church against evil.
Its symbolism was indescribable.
She melted right in front of her eyes.
To a mere pagan named Seil Sieghart.
In their eyes, ‘Seil Sieghart’ was no longer a mere demon worshiper.
… The ‘demon god’ itself possesses greater fear than evil.
that buck that buck
Seil Sieghardt walked towards Chris Valentine.
In his hand was the demonic spear, Axion.
The sharp-edged spear blade overflowed with dark purple energy.
Chris Vallettan, who has completely melted and turned into liquid.
Seil Sieghart, who had stopped in front of him, gazed at the red blood with his spear pointed.
No one here understood why he was behaving like that, but Seil Siegrt did.
that she will rise again.
As if to prove his words, a pure white pillar of light rose from the red liquid.
Chris Valentine appeared through the pillars covering the room.
——At the same time, Seil Sieghart extended his spear.
Awesome!
Took.
Her right arm, which had been cut off cleanly, tumbled to the floor.
In an instant, he twisted his body with superhuman physical abilities.
“Amazing.”
The divine power that rose from her body tried to regenerate her arm.
However, it did not regenerate due to the black flame that bloomed at the cut site.
For the first time, she showed emotion.
It was a perplexity.
However, she soon returned to her original expression and gripped her sword again.
“… … .”
Purple bracelets were created on both arms of Zeil Sieghart, who was looking at her with an expressionless face.
The explosive energy emanating from the body of Zeil Sieghart, who used super-strength, swept the area.
The walls were shattered, and the furniture around them turned to dust and disappeared.
The dark purple aura that covered his body was like an armor.
──At that time.
The roof collapsed with a sound like thunder, revealing 10 knights clad in blue cloaks. The tallest man said with a hammer emanating divine power on his shoulder.
“leader. You seem to be struggling quite a bit this time?”
“… … .”
As if proving his confident tone, the man’s whole body was filled with pure white aura.
And it was the same with the other 9 people.
Eleven paladins surrounded Zeil Sieghart before he knew it. All of them were members of the Blue Cross.
Their actions were natural, as if they had been working together for years. Even if no one spoke first, each knew what to do next.
The 11 paladins swung their weapons at Zeil Sieghart in unison.
A desperate struggle began. Despite the combined efforts of the Paladins, Zeil Sieghart’s momentum did not diminish at all.
Even though his entire body was torn, his limbs were cut, and his eyes were ripped out, he was overwhelming them.
He continued to wield his spear with only one thought of tearing his opponent apart.
Even the paladins who had experienced countless battlefields felt the fear in that maddening sight.
───How long has it been?
The man who looked at his arm rolling on the floor holding a hammer said as if he was tired of it.
“ha… . ha… . A monstrous child… … .”
“To think this is the case with just one cultist… The reputation of the Blue Cross is on the decline… .”
After a fierce battle, all that remained were 6 paladins and 4 corpses with both arms cut off.
And it was only Chris Valentine who thrust his sword through Seil Sieghart’s heart.
Covered in blood, she breathed heavily and drew her sword. and looked at him
Seil Sieghart still hadn’t closed his eyes.
He was still staring at Chris Vallettan with a lifeless look.
It looked as if he would get up at any moment and swing his spear at her.
But his arm was no longer there.
She reached out and closed Seil Sieghart’s eyes.
Even she herself couldn’t understand why she acted like that.
everything has come to an end
Over 20 Inquisitors were killed by a single demon worshiper, and 4 Paladins belonging to the Blue Cross were killed.
The damage was too great to enjoy the joy of victory.
The remaining church members collected the bodies and transported the injured.
Chris Valentine leaned into a corner and took a recovery.
The Heretic Questioners who had finished searching the mansion came to Chris Valentine and reported.
“I found a stone statue of a demon god and an altar in the basement of the mansion.”
“After checking Halton Caligo’s will, it is clear that he is a demon worshiper. The corpses of servants scattered throughout the mansion also appear to be his work.”
“It is said that a part of the Caligo family ledger was found along with the body of Jackson Caligo, the butler of the Caligo family. As a result of the check, the details of Jackson Caligo’s transactions with the auction house run by demon worshipers and other affiliated organizations have been confirmed.”
The church members in the back whispered that the rumors circulating about Count Caligo’s family in the past were true.
McDowell, who had approached Chris Valentine before he knew it, sat down next to her.
Then he muttered bitterly.
“There were rumors in the past that Halton Caligo was a demon worshiper. Rumor has it that there is an altar for worshiping the demon god in the basement of his mansion, and that he was able to become a sword master by borrowing the power of the demon god. At the time, I dismissed them all as lies… … .”
“… … .”
“I thought that a human named Halton Caligo could never have been a demon worshiper. He was a hero, and above all a knight who knew how to serve the people. But I still can’t believe that he was actually a demon worshiper. To think it was true that the human you believed you would never be would be a demon worshiper… … .”
Chris Valentine looked somewhere without answering.
It was the corpse of Seil Sieghart.
For a moment, it felt like his body was twitching.
