025 – Hyde begins to suppress heresy! #5

The smell of burning everywhere pierced my nose.

There was a lot of screaming and clamoring here and there, and I took advantage of it to head to the women’s prison.

It was to save Galatea, a knight of the Knights Templar.

“What is happening now!”

“It looks like the knights have attacked!”

“It looks like they’re on a sit-in protest in the castration prison! Let’s go there too!”

The voices of the clumsy madwomen echoing through every alley made of stacked logs.

Perhaps because Loras and his gang were good at attracting attention, most of the cultists flocked in that direction.

The knights were mean, but their skills were real.

It could last for a long time…

“Galatea!”

I was able to find Galatea imprisoned inside the prison, which was now empty as the crowds ebbed away.

The appearance of the female knight, who used to be quite bold, is gone, and her face is bruised and injured here and there, and she is wearing tattered clothes, which is quite frowning.

“This is─where─. I am—Diana’s—.”

“Be conscious. This is Hyde. Wooden monk Hyde. The person I met at Emiris Monastery. I have come to repay the favor of the pass I promised back then!”

“All men who blaspheme the goddess must die─.”

“Oops, I write.”

It seems that Galatea’s spirit was more problematic than her appearance.

If the Sisters of the Crescent Moon castrated male prisoners and used them as slaves, then in the case of female prisoners, they captured them, tortured them, brainwashed them, and turned them into their own workers.

Brainwashing was one of the heretics’ specialties, so it wasn’t surprising.

That’s right, there’s no way there are people in their right mind who believe in heresy and sects.

If you think about it, all heretics and cults were victims of brainwashing.

“I will rescue you in no time!”

I picked up a rock I saw nearby.

Huh, got it!

And when he hit it hard, the crude wooden lock broke easily.

“Come on, let’s go!”

“Ugh, naeu─.”

I rescued Galatea who was trapped, but she couldn’t walk easily so I had to pick her up.

Now the only thing left is escape.

As I was thinking that, I heard a loud sound.

Thick string-!!!

I’ve heard the sound of a mansion’s beams being smashed, and it was exactly that kind of noise.

When I went outside, I saw a large woman who seemed to ignore perspective even from a distance, holding a log and crushing the knights.

“That guy─.”

“It’s Lars! Ras of Anger uses his power himself!”

“Kyahaha! Smash the knights!”

The women’s cheers mixed with laughter explained the current situation.

The Great Sin Seat Ras-.

The sight of her overpowering and destroying the knights in an instant was quite surreal.

“Loras You useless bastard. You should have held on a little longer.”

Loras and Tristan were captured by cult women right in front of me. Baldwin, the one-eyed knight, was nowhere to be seen.

Probably dead.

First, I hid in the attic of a warehouse that seemed sparsely populated.

When I look out the window, there is a lot of activity moving here and there.

“Just by checking, twenty sisters are dead!”

“Let’s tear these bastards to death!”

“Let’s skewer him and kill him!”

The women got really angry.

At that time, a female cult member called Lass of Fury shouted.

“Build an arena!”

Afterwards, a circular stadium was built with torches and barriers, and Loras and Tristan were thrown naked into it.

Loras and Tristan come to their senses.

It looks like they’re probably trying to get them to fight each other.

“Las, you are a cruel woman.”

Tristan and Loras.

One of them will definitely die.

If we are going to fight and die, I would like it to take longer.

“Sir Galatea. Could you please wait here for a moment?”

“Ugh-.”

I left Galatea in the attic and left the warehouse.

Now all the women are busy watching Loras and Tristan kill and kill. I headed to the prison where male prisoners were kept.

“Hey! slave! Why are you loitering around!”

Then someone came towards me.

She was a female cultist whose face was painted in black ink.

I said, showing the herbs I was holding in my hand to give to Dihon.

“Las ordered to give medicine to the prisoners.”

“About? Yes, the condition is serious. This is my first time seeing Lars so angry. You truly deserve the name of anger. Well, it hasn’t been long since you came here!”

I see that she is a woman who likes to open her mouth, as she talks about information that was not even asked for. He must have been excited by the burning flames, violence, and the smell of blood.

In fact, the pupils visible through the black ink were small, as if they were extremely nervous.

I asked as if I were an extremely harmless and weak little person.

“Where on earth did such a fearsome Ras come from?”

“Stupid slave. Don’t you know that? You came from the witches’ council. “Walpurgis.” Some damn bastard ruined our funding plan and slave procurement plan.”

I see.

Originally, Ras of Wrath did not exist in the Crescent Sisterhood at this time.

However, Walpurgis, who can be said to be the mother figure of the Sisterhood, seems to have become alarmed because I handed over Bluebeard, the villain Nicola, and Nomad to the Inquisition.

Pak-!

At that time, the woman hit me hard on the back with her fist.

“Evil!”

“More than that, how long is this fucking guy going to play around? Quickly carry out what Ras ordered! Anyway, these bastards with their balls cut off have no roots! Get out of jail quickly!”

“ugh─.”

“It seems that the prisoner captured this time is Archibald’s son. If you keep it alive, there will always be a place to use it. Never let me die. If you die, it’s your fault! Go quickly!”

My back hurt a lot.

But I was fortunate to be able to go to prison, so I lowered my head and ran to the prison.

# # #

As I entered the men’s prison, I saw a familiar face between the log cells.

“Oscar Ball.”

“That voice is Ha, Hyde—!”

“Shh. Be quiet. I will save you.”

Oscar Archibald.

He was in prison.

The iron wall named Archibald must have saved his life this time.

“Hyde… I can’t see anything… My eyes… What happened to my eyes? I don’t see anything. There is only darkness in front of me… There is only darkness.”

“… … .”

Someone burned Oscar Archibald’s face.

Because his face was badly burned, his appearance was so disfigured that the once handsome man was nowhere to be seen.

“My eyes can’t see… !”

Oscar seemed excited.

If things continued like this, the cultists would come in, so I had to reassure them first.

“The cultists covered Prince Oscar’s eyes with bandages, so he can’t see. Don’t worry, you will be able to see again once the bandage is removed.”

“Is that something like that? Ha─. Fortunately, the. Then, Hyde, please be my eyes. I have no feeling in my arms and legs. What about your arms and legs?”

Oscar’s arms and legs were grotesquely bent and shattered.

It was a wonder he was still alive.

What was even more terrifying was that blood was gushing from the guy’s lower body. It seemed like the bleeding had been crudely stopped by adding a cloth.

It seemed like Oscar had been castrated.

“… … .”

Damn, these horrible cult girls.

They say Oscar is a villain, but has he done something bad enough to suffer like this? If someone were to ask me, I would have to think hard in many ways.

Because judgment is the Lord’s, not the realm of humans.

“The limbs are fine.”

“… Lord Hyde, now I see you’re not good at lying.”

“What does that mean?”

“I’m just not in a good condition… . I know very well. I’ll probably die. No, you might experience something worse than death… . I am Archibald’s son… .”

“… … .”

“Priest Hyde, please hear my confession before I die. I must repent of the sins I have committed.”

“Oscar, I am a priest who does not believe in the Sacrament of Confession. Repent of your sins through your own prayers. And you shouldn’t talk too much. Your condition─.”

“Manaan, I am the one who killed those people. But it had to be that way. He started telling the truth about too many things. It was a curse as powerful as anything I had ever seen.”

“… … .”

“Hyde, I’m asking you to save me now… I won’t do it. Instead, why don’t you tell my father that I died proudly as Archibald’s son… ? Please promise me.”

This guy.

You talk arbitrarily until the moment you die.

He was indeed the arrogant son of Archibald.

“Come on, Hyde. you are… You are now a member of the Agarpe of the Covenant. My promise… .”

At the same time, I increased my appreciation of Oscar Archibald.

When humans are at the threshold of death, they show their ‘nature’ that they cannot hide.

It was only now that I became curious about this man named Oscar.

“Oscar, aren’t you afraid of death?”

“… I do not know. But, I get it because I’m going blind. Hyde. You seem to be afraid of death. The sin I committed… It seems like a lot… ? Could it be that this board was made… ?”

“Ha, I am an innocent accuser. Don’t be suspicious, brother.”

“That can’t be possible. When I look at you, I think of my father. But I will believe it. I will save you, the innocent, to my father… My last story… please… .”

“How are you going to save me when everyone is dying?”

There were many ways to escape with Galatea.

Now that Loras and Tristan are fighting each other, all you have to do is escape through the secret passage.

Nevertheless, the reason I came to see Oscar was because I wanted to make sure he died. Even if they are ignorant knights like Loras or Tristan.

The courage to hide in a living room where there might be a seat of great sin.

I thought Oscar must have that trustworthy side.

“Cough, ugh, do you see the silver cross hanging around my neck? This is especially… This is the family register I created. If you blow this, something unimaginable will happen. Hyde, you were… Running away.”

Sze-.

As Oscar had wished, I put his cross in his mouth.

Then, with his dying body, the boy blew his honkin’ drum with all his might.

Bleep-.

A family register that makes a sharp sound.

It was that moment.

Ahhh━───!!!!

A sound came from somewhere that made the back of my neck shiver.

It was like the howl of an animal, a scream or a scream. It sounded like it was sad, but the sound, which had changed to sound like evil, ended up containing only one emotion.

Anger whose depth cannot be measured─.

Soon Oscar burst into laughter.

“You damn heretics, die!”
