The Secret Service and Luke approached nervously.

It is a place where it is difficult to see even plants, let alone animals.

This means that there is a possibility that he is a devil follower and a duke.

Exactly.

Charge the mana sphere.

When you get close enough to hit me at any time.

“Wait a minute.”

Luke raised his hand and stopped the secret task force.

“Why is that?”

“… … I said it because I think you’re someone I know.”

Leo nodded.

“I didn’t know I had friends in the northern outskirts.”

“Huh? What are you talking about?”

“Didn’t you say I knew you?”

“That’s not it… .”

No matter how broad his reach, Luke is not friendly with the peoples on the northern outskirts.

In the first place, this is not a place where people can live.

“I say this because I think they are saints.”

“… … ?”

Leo tilted his head and watched the people moving with utmost concentration.

People dressed in white.

When I heard it, it sounded like a saint’s uniform.

“Please wait a moment. I will talk to you.”

Luke sat up slowly and summoned his magic.

If you appear right away, you may be attacked.

I pushed away the surrounding snowstorm as much as possible to make my face visible.

“Saint! Are you there?”

I shouted from far away on purpose.

The priests turned their heads when they heard Luke’s voice.

Aurora was among them.

“…Luke?”

“Yes, I will.”

“What are you doing here?”

“I also want to ask.”

Surely the Holy Nation was determined to capture the devil followers in the East?

“Ah, that’s right. The clues lead up to here after I stopped the heresy. I was chasing after it.”

“… … ”

It was a tremendous obsession.

Chasing the demon followers all the way to the northern outskirts.

“How are you enduring the cold?”

What was even more surprising was that Aurora’s outfit was the same as usual.

“Thanks to the Goddess’s blessing.”

Luke gaped blankly for a moment.

You can even block the cold with divine power.

If it was going to be like this, I should have believed in God a little.

“Why are you here, Luke?”

“I am working with the Secret Service.”

Luke sent a signal to the secret task force behind him.

Leo bowed his head calmly.

“Saint.”

“See you here again.”

Since we were already spherical, there was no need to hide our identities.

“But you’re moving with the secret task force?”

“Yes.”

“What about the princess?”

“I quit being a tutor. Oh, please keep this a secret.”

“Hmm… .”

Aurora narrowed her eyes.

Actually, I already received the long-distance communication paper from Elin.

I decided that if I ever meet Luke, I’ll hold on tight.

It was just that I didn’t show it because I was afraid that if I pretended to know, he would run away.

“Come in and talk.”

Aurora smiled brightly, controlling her expression so that Luke would not become suspicious.

* * * * *

The Secret Service and Luke were guided to the Holy Land’s residence.

The dwelling was also warmly protected by the divine power of Aurora.

“Maybe Seongguk would have been better suited for this operation than us.”

“Don’t say that, Leo. This place is too dangerous to navigate with the priests. It can’t be explored without strong people like you.”

Aurora’s words were not a lie.

I was able to overcome the cold with my divine powers, but that was it.

Through a blizzard where you can’t see even an inch ahead.

It was difficult to trace the devil’s traces.

“We were barely holding on until we ran out of supplies and were about to return to the Holy Land.”

“Is that so?”

Leo answered and looked at Luke.

If they are people of the Holy Land, can’t they be allowed to stay in the Tower?

It meant that.

Leo only pursued efficiency.

Give the tower to the priests of the Holy Land.

What if you combined the saint’s divine power with the secret task force’s investigative abilities?

It was clear that he would be able to spot it in no time, whether it was the devil’s mark or a peacock.

But Luke answered no with his eyes.

The secret task force is an organization that operates covertly without revealing its identity.

This is a group that cannot spread rumors in the neighborhood that they know about Luke’s Tower.

In the first place, the secret task force discovered Luke’s tower first.

However, the members of the Holy Nation are in a bit of a difficult position.

First of all, Seongguk doesn’t really hide around, and if there are too many people, there’s a risk that Elin will hear about it.

“Are you completely out of supplies?”

“No, I’ve stocked up on enough to use on my way back.”

“I see. Then the Secret Service and I will explore the rest further.”

It would have been better for the members of the Holy Nation to return from the North.

When Luke tried to get up without any hesitation.

“Wait a minute!”

Aurora grabbed Luke urgently.

“Why are you like that?”

“That… Are you going to the Holy Land?”

“…Saint.”

Luke looked at Aurora quietly.

Now let’s start giving him a look that says his mouth is starting to hurt.

Only then did Aurora realize, “Oh no.”

I was going to take Elin with me when she said she was visiting the Holy Land.

“I’m sorry, but I have no intention of immigrating to the Holy Land just because I quit my job as a tutor.”

The karma that Aurora has accumulated up until now is too great.

“No, I’m not asking you to immigrate to the Holy Land… For tourism purposes… .”

When I tried to tell an unfamiliar lie, the words wouldn’t come out properly.

It seems like they are trying to take you to the Holy Land by any means possible.

The desperate look was the same though.

Luke felt something strange.

“Are you going to the Holy Land for sightseeing now?”

There is no way the saint would not know how important it is to track down demons.

But why do you insist on making such a strange excuse to take me away?

“… Mr. Leo. Let’s prepare to escape right now.”

“Why is that?”

“If I stay any longer, I think I’ll get caught.”

I can’t help but think that he had prior contact with Elin.

“Ouch!”

Aurora caught the change in Luke’s eyes.

“Everyone, capture Luke!”

As soon as the conversation failed, he raised his divine power.

“Huh? Your Majesty, what is that all of a sudden… .”

“I have a promise to make in the name of the Goddess. I’ll explain later!”

The priests were confused.

First, he ran towards Luke.

When the saint takes out the name of the goddess, there is no believer in the holy kingdom who would not follow it.

“When did you come into contact with the princess!”

Luke quickly opened the portal and shouted.

“How worried is the princess that Luke is missing… Eight! Just stay still!”

There is no time to explain in detail.

Aurora first flew a rope made of divine light.

Wheeze-

The moment the rope tries to catch Luke.

Woof-

Luke and the secret task force jumped into the completed portal.

Toouk.

A sacred rope falling powerlessly into the air.

“This… !”

Aurora felt regretful as she lost sight of Luke right before her eyes.

I can’t believe I made this mistake when I promised Ellen.

“Your Majesty, will you continue to pursue Luke?”

“… No. Let’s go back for now.”

There were no supplies to use while chasing Luke.

Anyway, Elin said she would visit the Holy Land.

I have to go and tell him what just happened.

First of all, I need to send a message apologizing for not keeping my promise.

Before sending the long-distance communication paper to Elin.

“Seo, Saintess. We’re in trouble!”

One of the priests cried out.

The crystal ball connected to the Holy Land was emitting a red light like crazy.

“An intruder has entered the Holy Land…!”

“… … Yes?!”

Who would dare invade the land protected by the goddess?

* * * * *

Clang-!

A refreshing sound like ice breaking rang out.

The result of a full-speed collision between transparent airships.

The Holy Kingdom’s barrier was broken because it could not overcome Elin’s magical power.

“This is driving me crazy… .”

Even now, Anne couldn’t hold back her swearing.

Because it appeared so splendidly, even the invisibility magic was of no use.

“Slow down for now!”

“That’s right.”

From the moment she realized something was wrong, Elin was doing her best to control the airship.

Soon the airship stopped in the air.

If only it had been a little faster, we wouldn’t have had to break the Holy Kingdom’s barrier.

It was a sad situation.

“Oh, what should I do, princess…?”

“I think I’ll be locked up in the Seongguk Prison before I find my brother.”

Bena’s legs were shaking.

Nia already had a feeling for the future.

“… … Huh?”

Lanian, who had been madly exploring the airship, also came to his senses.

Carelessly breaking the Holy Nation’s barrier was a shocking event that could turn even a madman into a sane person.

“What is that… .”

“Is it a devil attack!”

The believers of the Holy Nation cheered when they saw Elin’s airship below.

Call out the name of the goddess.

Prepare arrows and magic imbued with divine power.

If we continue like this, we’re likely to be subjugated.

“I’ve already contacted the saintess.”

Ellen decided it would be wiser to meet Aurora rather than stick her head out and explain.

When you pray that the sturdy airship will hold on for a little while.

Woohoo-!!

Luckily, Aurora tore the teleportation scroll and appeared right away.

Two huge spears floating above his head.

A divine power mixed with a sinister killing intent flowed out continuously.

How much strength did I borrow from the goddess?

Even his sore leg temporarily recovered and he was able to get out of the wheelchair.

Aurora appeared fully armed, thinking that a demon had appeared.

I stopped in my tracks when I saw a familiar building floating in the sky.

… Isn’t that the banquet hall I visited a while ago?

I asked, really, just in case.

“… You’re not the princess, are you?”

My voice trembled slightly, saying I would rather be a devil.

“I’m sorry, Saintess.”

Ellen just stuck her head out and answered.

“… … ”

Aurora was so surprised that she couldn’t even scream.

Swish.

The feeling in my legs that had briefly returned disappeared again.

Aurora collapsed.

I was definitely going to apologize for missing Luke.

When I saw Elin climbing up the huge building, my mind went blank.

“What the hell is this, Your Majesty…?”

Breaking the barrier of the holy country and coming in.

What the hell is this?!
