Lucifer.

He was a great and beautiful angel who served the Lord together with Archangel Michael.

One of the seven great devils whose arrogance pierced the sky and overtook the Lord’s place, and who eventually became corrupted and ended up in hell.

The demon god created demons and mixed half demons and half humans. Lucifer liked one of the demons that was created and had sexual intercourse with that demon.

Thus, Lucifer, the Northern Duke of Demon World clan, was born. The Lucifer family is so famous that it still holds the position of one of the four dukes of the Demon World for generations.

A who is deeply hostile to Beatrice Constantino, a Holy Knight who serves the Lord.

“Where does the wicked devil come in here!”

[Because you were called? Lady wanted me!]

“Get out now! Do you think that I, Beatrice Constantino, will easily fall for your wicked tongue?”

Raising my sword forward, I shouted sharply. The corners of Lucifer’s mouth rose ominously high.

[Giggle giggle! Very angry! Yes, it takes desperation to make a contract with the devil! You lack desperation right now!]

“Shut your mouth! Where the devil is talking!”

[Sooner or later, the moment will come when you need me! It’s time to realize your wish that even the Lord will not grant! When that time comes, call me! I’ll show you how fantastic the devil’s contract is!]

With those words, Lucifer jumped out of the window into the night sky. By the time I rushed to the window, he had already disappeared in the moonlight.

Suddenly and inexplicably, I sobered up. I put the great sword down on the floor.

The Great Devil Lucifer.

Clearly, he is someone I must reject unconditionally.

It was only a moment, but my heart was moved when he told me he would grant my wish. It’s a shame.

That night, I couldn’t sleep a wink.

*****

Before the final battle, a sacred hymn is sung.

The people of the Holy Kingdom are all coming out together and singing.

““The Lord is coming-.””

““My glorious Lord is coming-.””

““The horn of blessing sounds to welcome the Lord -.””

““The day when the Lord’s grace falls on the earth one by one-.””

““On that day, my Lord comes walking on the path of love-.””

““The Lord is coming – to save all things -.””

The power of tens of thousands of people chanting at the top of their lungs to go away is powerful. I am walking on a expedition with the members of the Knights Templar, feeling pain as if my entire eardrum would fall off. While riding on a white horse.

It’s a pleasant pain. Because it’s a chant that cheers us on.

“Open the castle gate-!”

I shout to the gatekeeper of the Holy Kingdom. With hundreds of knights behind him.

Since this had been discussed in advance, the gatekeeper bowed his head for a moment and then tried to open the gate.

At that time, my father came running hurriedly.

“Wait! Stop!”

“Pope?”

“Prosperous, Your Majesty! What are you trying to do now?”

“I will join you too! In any case, if the vanguard cannot clear the road, there is no future for us!”

“Pope! What do you mean by that?”

At my father’s unexpected declaration of war, I got off my horse and quickly knelt down. It was something that should never have happened for my father, the leader of the church, to participate in the war.

“Pope! Please reconsider that command! How can the Pope, who must lead the believers until the last moment, try to go into battle himself?”

“Sir Beatrice! Lift your head up!”

A thick voice penetrates my ears. The voice is trembling. A father’s passion that I have never experienced before.

When I raised my head as commanded, I saw my father’s face. The violently shaking eyes are noticeable.

“Kyung-eun, do you have the confidence to break through that battlefield!”

“… .”

“Do you have the confidence to create a way out?”

It doesn’t sound like the usual hard throat. Hot and turbulent.

Now that it’s time for my daughter to die, I think I’m finally showing some emotion. You did love me.

But, no matter what.

I don’t want you to die, father.

“There is! Even if I don’t have it, it’s my duty to do it!”

As I glared into my father’s eyes and shouted, the air around me changed. The way people look at me becomes emotional.

“Then, don’t change the question.”

“Yes.”

“Can Sir Beatrice stop their leader, the fighting king, Agesiliad?”

“… .”

“Everyone in this room knows. Kyung could not enter the realm called “absolutely.” Even if I led the 1st Knights out, I would not be able to overcome the walls of Agesiliad and would only face death.”

It states the facts that were made even before they could be refuted. I could offer no rebuttal. Because everything my father said was true.

“I, this prosperous Constantino, will stop Agesiliad. Meanwhile, Lord lead the knights and break through the siege.”

“… Yes, I will obey your orders.”

“Now, open the gate.”

An order was given.

Any further resistance is nothing more than disobedience to orders.

It is already a chaotic war situation, and disobedience of orders should not occur.

At my father’s words, the gatekeeper tries to open the door again. My father stood in front of me riding a horse. My father is so tall that his height when standing on the ground is higher than when I am riding a horse. The heavy armor that surrounds my whole body clanks.

I held the great sword in my hand carefully. So that you can swing it at any time. If this door is opened, if this flimsy iron plate that stands between us and the enemy disappears, I will face the camp of fighters who will bring me death.

I will not hold out any foolish hopes. Even if my father participated in the war, the difference in fighting power between a fighting country and a successful country is incomparable.

I am now moving towards extinction.

The paladin I chose is at the end of the path.

Gigigigigigi-.

The door to Seonghwangcheong is opened.

An endless army of enemies comes into view.

You shouldn’t be scared.

Behind me now are the precious members of the Holy Knights.

You shouldn’t hesitate.

I have to become a lump of hot embers and make them shudder.

You shouldn’t be considerate of yourself.

Since you are going to die anyway, you have to cut down as many enemies as possible.

“Prosperous Constantino! I was going to attack them myself if they didn’t show up by lunchtime today, but they finally showed up!”

Agesiliad, the country’s greatest warrior and commander, shouts with great force. It is a cry of an absolute powerhouse, heard so clearly that the distance of hundreds of meters seems insignificant.

My father took a deep breath and responded. In a slightly quieter voice than Agesiliad’s.

“Agesiliad! How arrogant! Aren’t you afraid of the Lord-!”

“The only god I serve is the almighty and great Zeus! Do not criticize your heresy-!”

“Is this such a barbaric and ignorant life the life your god has called you? In that way, how far can the national struggle expand?-!”

To his father’s cry, Agesiliad responded by pulling out a long spear and swinging it around.

“As far as this window can reach-!”

“… !”

The earth seems to be shaking. The Seonghwangcheong building seems to be bent, even if just a little.

This is how we are, hundreds of meters away, but what about the fighting warriors right next to Agesiliad?

I raised my eyesight and looked at them. What followed was an unbelievable sight.

None of the fighting fighters bowed down or put their hands to their ears. Even though blood was flowing from his ears, he stood firm, exposing his armor-like body to the sun.

They look like warriors who devote their whole lives to training. I quietly clicked my tongue and bowed.

“Sir Beatrice… ?”

When my father sees me like that, he gives me a questioning look.

I did something I would never have imagined doing otherwise. That is, looking at his father and smiling.

“To my father… It seemed like you didn’t love me.”

“Beatrice, what are you talking about?”

“Still, I love my father.”

Leaving a final word, I powerfully kicked the horse’s waist.

“Hey-!”

“Be, Beatrice! Wait!”

If we all go in at the same time, we can’t damage that iron-clad formation. Someone who will not be easily defeated must go into the middle of the enemy lines and stir them up. After that, the main force must attack.

There is no one better suited than me to ride a horse. Therefore, I choose to rush. This is an extremely reasonable judgment.

Purr! The white horse starts running. My horse, said to be the fastest in the castle, runs at full speed with its white mane fluttering. The cold wind comes like a knife and passes across my cheek.

The surrounding scenery suddenly changes. My father and the Holy Knights, who belatedly noticed my charge, came running, but they were unable to get ahead of me on a white horse.

Do not go to Agesiliad. As my father said, he is beyond what I can do. Instead, I ran to the left side of the battlefield.

“Aaaah-!”

The distance between Tuguk and the white horse suddenly narrowed, and me riding on the white horse. The soldiers of the fighting nation stand in close formation, glaring at me with round shields and spears the size of human bodies.

Horses are ridden only with the strength of the lower body. I held the great sword with both hands and injected divine power into the blade. A white and shining energy droops and surrounds the great sword.

Ugh-.

Distance reduced to within 5 meters. The sharp spear blade sparkles in the sun, ready to pierce me at any time. I did not slow down the white horse’s speed at all, and swung the great sword with acceleration.

Shuaaa!

Kwakwakwakwakwa-!

The aura of divine power spread out and collided with the shields of the soldiers standing in a line. The power I have is much stronger.

“Keuuu!”

“Pushed out! Get out of the way!”

“Everyone be careful! This is Beatrice Constantino, the 1st Holy Knight Commander!”

The soldiers of the fighting nation who could not handle the aurors were thrown backwards and fell. The dense formation collapsed. Without wasting time, I rushed into it with the white horse and once again gathered divine power into my sword.

I have no intention of returning alive. Kill, kill, kill as many as possible so that I can be of some help to those who come after me.

Shuaaa!

“Kaaak!”

“Be careful! Launch an aura!”

“Not an ordinary Auror! Always block with a shield!”

“Don’t be scared! We fight for our country! Isn’t dying in this battle the glory we’ve longed for?”

He unleashed his divine power at random, sending out a round aura that spread out in all directions. Rather than hesitating, the soldiers fighting for the country are rushing towards me with their morale rising.

I really want to see how the main team is fighting, but I don’t have the time to do that right now. I immediately prepared for the next sword attack.

“There is only one opponent! If you can’t control it, at least kill the horse!”

Shhh shush!

Dozens of spears point towards me. And then they rush in all at once.

He swung his great sword widely, but it was not enough to block all of the dozens of spears. Several spear blades flashed for a moment, and red paint bloomed in abundance. My white horse fell headlong to the ground.

Thanks to this, I rolled around the floor a few times, but I had no time to mourn the death of my beloved horse. I lowered my body as much as possible and delivered a low sword strike towards the ankles of the warriors that the shields could not cover.

Wow!

A bloodbath broke out. The warriors fighting for the country fall all at once. The embodiment of fighting spirit that raises a glorious flag even at the moment of death falls to the ground with their ankles cut off.

Still, there is still a long time left. The Aurors stretched out endlessly, tearing apart every piece of flesh and bone that stood in their way, but the army of Tuguk was too large.

After taking a moment, I was about to gather divine power into the great sword and swing it again.

Phew!

“Ugh!”

A spear flew from somewhere I couldn’t see, entered the gap in my armor, and pierced my thigh. As I quickly turned my gaze, I saw several soldiers who had their ankles cut and were bleeding to death, gathered their strength and stabbed a single spear.

Exhilarating pain swept over my entire body, but I bit my lip to come to my senses. It felt like my legs were going to give out, but there could be no more mistakes.

Kaan-!

After barely catching another spear coming in, I jumped into the sky. In a one-on-one fight, it would be an action no different from suicide, but since the great sword is wider than my body, it’s okay.

A flash of anticipation appears at the tip of the blade. As soon as it was completed, I launched a sword attack in all directions. The siege was tightened from all sides, but the more it tightened, the more I attacked more aggressively.

He drew divine power from deep within his body and fell to the ground as if the sword was falling on the ground. At the same time, there was a huge wave and the air current stirred greatly.

Bright red blood splatters, and screams are heard everywhere.

Quaaaa-!

A strong gust of wind blows. Even inside, invisible spear blades fly out. As I was crossing the threshold of death, I was only focused on stopping it.

I’m getting increasingly short of breath. I have to endure more, but the balance of divine power is slowly becoming dangerous. No, to be honest, I’m almost out of it.

As the wind died down, visibility became clear. Hundreds of windows were still coming in, aiming for me. Using the dozens of corpses lying on the floor as a stepping stone.

They were on the defensive.

My legs are shaking. He used up all his strength to draw out divine power, struck down the flying spears, and raised his head high. Beyond the helmets worn by the fighting warriors, I can see the main body of the church and my father struggling.

Even at a glance, you can see that it is disadvantageous. Most of the paladins suffered large stab wounds to their bodies, and many of them were reduced to cold corpses.

My father is standing alone against Agesiliad, the greatest power of the fighting nation. However, even though they were the absolute strongest, it was noticeable that they were clearly being pushed behind.

“Qu… ! What should I do… !”

The spear flies out.

I swung my sword.

Blood spattered, but compared to the number of enemy soldiers, the amount of blood was insignificant.

There is no hope in sight.

I became the bait, but the main unit seems to be in a worse situation than me. If I hadn’t been the bait, my 1st Holy Knights would have been annihilated already.

Death is just around the corner.

afraid.

Not my death, but their death.

The death of my loved ones, the death of my father, who was always solemn and great.

I am so afraid.

Kagagagak-!

“Beatrice! I guess I’ve finally lost all my strength! This monster-like bitch!”

Being like a monster is the highest compliment a warrior can receive. All my life, I had hoped to be recognized as a warrior by my father, but now that it was time to die, I was recognized by the enemy.

“I admit it! You fought well! Even Athens, the honorable god of battle, will praise you! So close your eyes now!”

The spear flies in again.

I want to swing the sword, but my arm feels numb. When I opened my eyes again, a red spear had penetrated my armor and pierced my shoulder.

It’s a hopeless situation. I have to struggle harder, but my eyes are closing more and more.

The Lord.

Why don’t you appear before us?

Lord.

I would like to ask you a question.

Your descendants are losing their lives at the hands of wicked people.

Why don’t you show me any miracles?

I am a blasphemous sinner. Therefore, there are no complaints about death.

I was more afraid of you than of you. That is my Buddhist scriptures.

However, they are not the ones currently competing with the main army of the fighting nation, are they?

They are all your faithful, good, and noble warriors.

Why do you, omnipotent and omnipotent, watch as their flesh is mercilessly torn by the blades of barbarians?

why… why… .

Consciousness becomes blurred. My vision becomes blurry as if it has been hit by rain. It looks like it’s slightly red.

I’m out of my mind. Questions about the Lord, resentment towards the Lord, and dissatisfaction with the Lord bloom as if in full bloom in a situation where death is imminent.

Well, it wouldn’t mean anything… … … .

[ruler! Now why not think again!]

Black wings appeared from nowhere and spread out in front of me.

The man I saw last night shouts at me with his hands wide open.

“… !”

[Still don’t know? That arrogant and arrogant Lord will never help Lady! Always just sit back and watch!]

“Party, God… !”

[But not me! I am the devil! If you make a contract with a human, you will always carry out what you promised! So, hold my hand!]

I don’t know what I was thinking at this point.

I think I was captivated by the worldly words of trusting me that I would do it unconditionally.

[Tell me anything! The wish you want the most right now!]

I shouted without hesitation.

“Strength!!”

I shouted at the top of my voice. I shouted with all my heart, as if I were someone who would have no regrets even if I lost my vocal cords for the rest of my life.

“The power to save everyone!!!”

I held the hand of a devil reaching out to me as if it were a salvation line.

“Whether it is the Lord or the devil… ! Because it doesn’t matter! If only I could save them!!”
