Episode 101 – Muriel’s Ruins (3)
After Xian left to find the source of the plague.
Arya went back to Gestak Village.
You never know when Xian will remove the source of the plague.
Even if I was there, it was because I had nothing to do.
Rather than waiting anyway, it was better to wait in Gestak Village.
And that was not only Arya’s thoughts, but also those of Rachel and the Holy Knights.
So Arya went back to Gestak Village with the Holy Knights.
On the way back to Gestak Village.
“······ bad guy.”
Arya murmured this involuntarily.
I don’t know why.
I know there is no reason for that.
“…wasn’t it something you could ask to go with?”
Still, I felt sad.
Arya looked around.
The Holy Knights in pure white armor.
They were paving the way, escorting Arya.
It couldn’t have been a more reassuring sight.
But Arya felt alone for some reason.
I don’t know if there was even Laura, but Laura was in Gestak Village.
It was because it was dangerous because it was approaching the source of the plague, so Arya told her to stay in the village.
Laura was worried, but Arya said it was okay.
Because Xian was by his side.
But now.
Xian went to the source of the pestilence alone.
Aria left alone and left.
To be honest, Arya wanted to go with Xian.
He even tried to tell me to go with him.
But I couldn’t bring myself to speak first.
Was the source of the plague the source?
It was hard for Arya to handle the aura of the plague.
It seemed like I was just going to catch Xian’s ankles.
Arya couldn’t bring herself to speak first.
That’s why I expected her to tell me to go with her, but…
“bad guy.”
Xian quickly left alone.
Of course, Xian knew that he had no choice but to do that.
He must have been worried about Arya.
“······Really bad guy.”
Even so, Aria felt sad for nothing.
Arya grumbled and moved on.
And I looked around again.
“Quangnuk!”
A group of attacking monsters.
However, the holy knights were sweeping away at once.
For some reason, it seemed that more monsters were attacking than before.
Fortunately, the Holy Knights were not a big problem.
However, Rachel was nowhere to be seen.
It was because Rachel said she had something to do and acted alone.
Will Arya follow Rachel?
I was seriously worried.
Rachel didn’t respond to the demon detector.
Xian also concluded that Rachel is not a devil.
Even so, it was because Arya couldn’t easily shake off her doubts.
It was because he had seen it with his own two eyes.
I didn’t doubt the existence of Rachel from the first time I saw it.
It was only a few months ago that I came to have such doubts… no, I was convinced.
It was right after I heard that the Twilight sect was forcibly spreading its doctrines to young children.
In addition, abuse is being done in the process.
It is also the duty of the church to preach the will of God.
But it must be voluntary and never forced.
Even abuse.
Arya visited the area to confirm this.
And Arya could see.
That was not the doctrine of God.
Dawn and Dusk.
Although the doctrines of the two denominations are slightly different, the roots are the same.
However, the landscape Arya faced was something that could never be seen as having the same roots.
Red-blooded children.
Arya couldn’t help but be shocked at how she looked like a fanatic.
And Rachel standing in front of those children.
It was clearly… an aura of evil.
Arya had never faced a demon before.
Still, Arya knew.
That is clear malice.
It was even the most terrible malice.
An aria that is considered to have the most powerful divine power in history.
However, the terrible evil that Rachel showed at that time was irresistible.
Will I be able to stand against that evil?
Arya had even heard such a question.
Arya immediately left the place in fear.
I thought I had to save the children right away, but Arya couldn’t do anything alone.
The amount of malice cast was terrifying.
Rachel didn’t respond.
Didn’t know that Arya had come.
Or did you pretend you didn’t know?
I didn’t know about it.
Arya immediately led the people to the place again.
But there were no traces left.
More than ever, there’s only Rachel, the cardinal down.
But Arya could see clearly.
That’s why Arya needed to check.
And I needed to let people know.
Even though Xian had confidence.
Arya still had no doubt that Rachel was the devil.
And Rachel, who will act separately now.
I didn’t know what to do.
But doubts are true.
So follow along and see what it is.
“·······”
Arya didn’t say anything about it.
If, like Arya’s suspicion, Rachel is the devil.
If what Rachel is about to do is something Arya shouldn’t see.
Arya couldn’t handle it.
There was nothing Arya could do.
The terrible malice I encountered then.
Because it was a level of evil that Arya couldn’t help.
There is no way.
I have no idea what to do.
Even so, the only thing that came out was a bunch of life without a solution.
Let’s act prudently and wisely.
I’m not following Rachel now.
Wait until Xian removes the source of the plague, then talk to Xian.
It’s not too late to move then.
For now, let’s wait for Xian at Gestak Village.
Arya headed to Gestak Village like that.
How much time had passed like that?
I could see the scenery of Gestak Village in the distance.
A village we arrived at.
Arya strode forward to find Laura.
“what···?”
But the feeling was strange.
The atmosphere in the village was unusual.
something… something…
Right then.
“Stop, saintess!!”
Laura’s urgent voice came from inside the village.
#
Fear that dominates the mind.
Instinct nestled in the corner of reason is erased.
Nothing, not even a thought comes to mind.
It was Xian who had met many strong enemies, including the demon of indolence, Nurbia.
It was Xian who had overcome countless adversity and impossibility.
But now the class is different.
The situation itself turned out to be different.
The Death Knights gathered in one place were no different from a visible plague.
It pollutes the surroundings just by its presence.
The aura that had been pleasantly breathing until earlier no longer existed.
Now there was only the aura of death.
Xian forced his head up.
I see dark blue eyes looking at Xian.
I couldn’t see the expression, so I couldn’t read it.
However, I could see and read the atmosphere around me.
death.
Death Knight is a demonic being born out of resentment of an outstanding knight during his lifetime.
And the Death Knight in front of you.
This Death Knight was excellent, it could not be explained with a simple expression.
When he was a human, it seemed that he was at a level where it was difficult to find an opponent.
Such a person was filled with resentment and became a Death Knight.
Years of age piled up, and the madness deepened even more as it was encroached upon by demons.
When a human was a being with a noble soul, the power encroached upon by demons was further amplified.
So Xian could be sure.
Even if the Death Knight in front of him faced Durak, he would not be pushed back easily.
and.
-Kill the people of the Vatican.
-Kill the people of the Vatican.
-Kill the people of the Vatican.
A death knight at a similar level to him is a whopping 30.
Every one of the beings who are now threatening death to Xian.
All are Master’s beings.
-Kill the people of the Vatican.
And it seemed that the reason why they became Death Knights was their grudge against the Holy See.
Of course, Xi’an was not a member of the Holy See.
That’s why it wasn’t even the target of their grudge.
But to no avail.
Resentment is only an opportunity, they have already been swallowed up in madness.
-Kill the people of the Vatican.
-Kill the people of the Vatican.
Now he was just a Death Knight who only longed for the death of life.
have to run away
I don’t know why there are such beings in Muriel’s ruins.
But now it didn’t matter.
This isn’t something you can do against.
I couldn’t handle even one of the Death Knights gathered here.
This was not a situation that Xian could handle.
So you have to run away.
but.
“Cheuk…!”
Sian coughed up blood.
I cannot move my body easily.
It is suppressed only by momentum.
If you break your heart even a little, the darkness that will swallow your existence will come.
A fatal instinct warns.
definitely here.
Die!
Wedge!
A crushing sound that rips through the air.
Sian leaned back, tightening his muscles.
At the same time, a sharp sword passes in front of my eyes.
I feel a terrible living above it.
The tip of his nose was slightly cut and red blood formed.
Even when he swung his sword.
and how you reacted.
I can’t understand.
If the response is even a little late.
Only the obvious fact that the head was cut off is recognized.
-Kill the people of the Vatican!
Wedge liquid!
The field of view expands.
The reason is sharpened by the obvious fear.
If you fight, you will surely lose.
There is no chance of winning.
We have to get out of the ruins somehow, by any means.
But even that was impossible.
For one thing, I wondered what it would have been like if there had been ＜Muriel’s Blessing＞.
A fraudulent buff that increases all of Xian’s physical abilities by 10 times.
If it had been there, even if they couldn’t fight it, they would have been able to escape.
However, I couldn’t write ＜Muriel’s Blessing＞ now.
I didn’t even have the money to spend right away.
also.
I should have extorted money from Rachel.
A deep regret arose.
But now that I have such regrets.
Kururrr…!
It doesn’t help.
The Death Knights started marching.
The Death Knight in front of him did not move.
A Death Knight comparable to Durak.
If that Death Knight had moved, Xian would have died without doing anything.
Should I call this fortunate out of misfortune?
Or should I say hope torture?
Baaang!
There was the sound of a burst of air.
Xian’s body was pushed back greatly.
Xian immediately pulled out a sword from his inventory.
stop thinking
I don’t even think about whether I can do it or not.
The attacking Death Knight Corps.
Xian flung his body backwards with the recoil and swung his SS-grade sword wide.
Kwak-!
Along with the heavy drinking, I felt a terrible power on the sword.
“Cheuk…!”
Even though it was simply blocked, my muscles trembled.
It wasn’t blocked, but I felt the impact of being hit with the sword.
If it wasn’t for the SS grade sword, he wouldn’t have been able to withstand it.
Wedge liquid!
The air rips at Xi’an’s side once again.
Death Knight here is about 30.
Blocking one meant nothing.
Moreover, it was a blow that a master-level knight was aiming for an opening.
At the current level of Xian, it can be prevented or counteracted.
Kwajik-!
There was no avoiding it.
“Kuhak…!”
The inside is turned inside out.
He cries out, and blood pours out.
Fortunately, it was not cut.
SS grade armor upgraded from S grade.
Because it blocked the blow.
That’s why the sound I heard wasn’t a destructive sound.
The sound of SS grade armor breaking.
The armor was broken in one blow, but if it was an S rank, it would have been cut as it was.
I wonder if the SS-grade armor that blocked the master’s blow was amazing.
Or are those Death Knights who broke SS-grade armor great?
I can not know.
not even important.
I can only tell you one obvious fact.
‘I can’t escape.’
I can’t ignore those Death Knights and run away.
In order to escape, you have to create a gap.
Even the smallest gaps must be made and squeezed.
However, 30’s Death Knight.
Each level reaches master level.
It is impossible to even make a gap against them.
But just because it’s impossible doesn’t mean you can’t just die like this.
Hard!
The sound of something collapsing came from Sian’s mouth.
Together with him, Xian repeated the guise of the hemp blend method.
The power of the source reacts.
Along with the absorption of the plague, a terrible demonic energy bursts out at the increased progress rate.
darker than pitch black.
The source of demons rose from Xian’s body.
It compels obedience to the death that engulfs Xi’an.
Even if it is a death knight that has reached the master level.
After all, it is a demon-based existence.
Also Exceed, the realm beyond that.
Arnaise, the strongest, would not be comparable to Kyle.
So, Kyle’s magic recipe.
And Xian’s Suracheonslaughter (修羅天殺).
However, this could not defeat the Death Knights.
But I might be able to make a gap for a while.
aaagh
All the darkness that blooms succumbs to Xi’an.
The darkness of the Death Knight surrenders to Xian’s demon and disperses.
Xian grabbed the SS grade sword.
That moment.
pop.
This kind of sound…
There was an illusion that I had heard it.
It’s as if time has stopped.
All Death Knights stopped moving at once.
The posture of raising the sword.
The attitude of running towards Xian.
The posture of swinging the sword towards Xian.
It was literally as if time had stopped.
The dark blue eyes of the Death Knights shimmered.
They were all wearing helmets so we couldn’t see their expressions.
However, in the darkness inside the helmet, the light in the eyes shimmered.
I could read clear emotions in those eyes.
Obvious bewilderment.
And surprise based on astonishment.
clap.
A Death Knight moved between them.
A death knight who won’t be pushed back easily even if he faces off against Durak.
The Death Knight slowly stepped towards Xian.
Clapping, the sound of armor clattering can be heard.
For some reason, the two eyes looking at Xian were trembling.
Suddenly, the Death Knight lowered his body.
And he got down on one knee toward Xian.
-Lord, Lord!!!
Death Knight shouted.
at the same time.
– Lord!!!
– Lord!!!
– Lord!!!
All of the 30 Death Knights knelt down on one knee toward Xian.
All the Death Knights bowed their knees towards Xian and did the example.
“······ to···?”
Xian uttered this sound without even realizing it.
That’s right, kneel before the Saint of Chaos!
