episode_0436

Saint Aria looked pitiful as she looked at Sir Paulton, whose entire body had been torn apart.

No matter how much she liked women, it seemed like she had a bond with the person she had been with for a long time.

“Lord Paulton.. Why did you become a follower of the devil?“

“Keuuuu..“

He, who did not die even though his arms were blown off, knelt down and looked down at the saint.

He became a huge man and opened his mouth, spitting out blood.

“You said you would save dead family members..“

“…That’s nonsense. Lord Paulton.“

“Yes.. But.. I know it’s not possible, but..! Cough..! I.. wanted to see again.. my wife and children.. ugh..“

“…“

Paulton shouted, shedding bloody tears.

“Not only me, they are the same.. They are the victims of the devil’s army.. The world was saved, but we were not saved. A saint..!“

“…“

“Hehehe… But it’s not the devil. He showed us that he brought the dead back to life right in front of our eyes.“

“That..“

Saint Aria had a guess. It means that the lie was shown through the devil’s trick.

But the saint did not say it was a lie.

I guess he wanted to protect the last hope of his slowly dying knight.

“What.. a saint.. an angel.. a god..! These are the beings who cannot save me..! But.. but..! The devil showed me..! I showed you.. hehehe..!“

Lord Paulton’s spirit had already broken down.

Not because of a devil or anything like that, but because of the scars left behind by the devil in the past.

In this way, Sir Paulton became a cold corpse with only hope in his heart.

After his death, he subdued the remaining followers.

However, as soon as the followers were suppressed, they writhed their whole bodies and screamed.

“The soul is leaving the body! We have to stop it!“

“It won’t be of any use. They have already become sacrifices to the devil. They are all lies..“

Mr. Spiel put his hands together as he watched the soul heading somewhere.

They have already been eaten by the devil.

I left my body with only salvation and hope in my heart.

“The devils in this world are vicious. I am well aware of people’s weak hearts.“

Certainly, the demons of the world of heroes were clever and bad.

Compared to this place, the demon girl Lovell I met in the dungeon is confident and attractive.

“It looks like someone told the devil. A person’s mind can be manipulated as you like with just a little touch.“

“Who is behind the devil?..“

“That might be the case. I’m not sure.“

Saint Aria looked confused at Mr. SPIEL’s guess.

“From now on.. what should I do..“

He sat down when he saw his paladins and soldiers leaving in an instant.

No matter how selfish and greedy she was, it seemed difficult for her to immediately forget the tragedy that happened before her eyes and stand up.

“I couldn’t find the devil… and I couldn’t protect my soldiers.“

“You have the power to protect yourself.“

“No.. I only received help from the angel..“

“You got it from me too. Holy woman!“

“You stay quiet.“

Saint Aria was giving me advice as if she still had some energy left.

“Your divine power is bound from that scroll. So if you just solve that, you will have the power to stop the devil.“

“Yes?“

The saint listened to Mr. Spiel’s words and looked at the sacred document attached to her side.

“This… is blocking my divine power?“

“Yes.“

“…“

Saint Aria lifted the scroll at her side and gave it strength.

“Ugh..!“

“Can I help you?“

“I will do it!“

Saint Aria strengthened her arms and raised the divine power within her body to the end.

-Tuk! Squeak!

The metal bar at the end of the sacred text broke and then tore in half.

OK.

I could feel Saint Aria’s divine power becoming stronger.

“This too.. is what the devil was aiming for..I hope I become desperate and weak..“

“Still, I’m glad. Because I didn’t fall for the devil’s tricks.“

“Yes… this sacred document was limiting my strength and senses. I can see it now. Who has evil demonic powers..“

Saint Aria, who threw away the torn sacred document, frowned and looked at the village radiating red energy.

-Ching!!!

Then a huge spear of light fell from the sky.

As the barrier created by the devil broke, I could see it slowly being purified by divine light.

“I have to go back to the Holy Empire.“

“I guess the devil is there?“

“Yes, there is only one person who prepared this sacred document.“

Saint Aria looked at the soldiers, showing her unique burning will.

“Everyone, wake up.. We must fight. To protect those who remain.“

Saint Aria did not break under any circumstances.

This was because she was a member of the warrior party who had already experienced worse situations than this.

***

-Cow..

“The sky of the empire is red.“

“Do you think the devil knows that the saint is coming?“

“Of course. My return ceremony was prepared very splendidly.“

Saint Aria frowned as she looked at the red Holy Empire.

The person who prepared the sacred document for her…

It was none other than the archbishop.

In fact, without the saint, the saint could have all the power and property of the Holy Empire, and the saint knew that the archbishop was the only being who could confuse and disturb the holy knights.

“Is this because you failed to attract the saint?“

“I guess so.. Come to think of it.. I heard that Kai was the same. In order to eat the magic kingdom, he turned the magic king into stone and threatened him..“

“Oh. Are you finally believing me?“

“Ah! believe! I believe it!“

When I returned, I kept joking that I didn’t believe you.

The saintess also admitted angrily, probably because she was tired.

“You are really petty. You keep saying the same thing because I made you feel sad!“

“No~ Because they don’t believe me. I had no choice either~“

“Ha… It’s really… childish. How could Kyra fall for a man like this..”

The saintess sighed and turned her head away.

And after looking at the Holy Empire for a while, he opened his mouth.

“He.. Please help..“

“You know the conditions, right?“

“Again?!“

“Of course. Because I solved the first request.“

“Ugh.. I will definitely ask Kyra from next time..“

Saint Aria asked me to catch the devil as if she had no choice.

She didn’t know how to kill the devil.

As a saint, she specialized only in purification and recovery.

I needed a dealer… and that was me.

And he was afraid that his soldiers would be attacked by the devil again.

They were only asking me, the expert, to do it.

“Phew.. this time.. the angel is by my side too.. so I will believe it.“

“Yes, I specialize in catching demons.“

Even though the saint hated me, she trusted me.

So we headed to the castle gate.

“Are you here, saint.“

The gate was tightly closed.

And on top of the castle walls, the soldiers of the Holy Empire were waiting for us, wielding crossbows and holy magic.

” Archbishop… Are you the devil? “

“It’s not the devil. I am just an ordinary priest working for the empire.“

“Does such an ordinary priest tell lies?“

“Hehe… It’s a lie. It’s true. Because those who are truly dead come back to life.“

“That’s impossible.“

“No, it is possible. What if the saint joins forces with the devil? Huhu.“

“…what is that…“

“The devil said..! If a saint makes a contract with the devil, she will resurrect the dead with her own blood!“

The archbishop shouted confidently.

The face of the saint who was watching this became increasingly crumpled.

“Such nonsense..! archbishop! I will not forgive you!“

“Hehe… If you don’t make a contract with the devil here… Everyone in the Holy Empire will become a sacrifice to the devil. Hehehe.“

Earlier, everyone watched Lord Poulton and his soldiers scream as their souls escaped.

In short, the Archbishop intended to kill everyone in the Holy Empire.

Let’s take people hostage and threaten the saint.

Saint Aria radiated divine power and placed a barrier over the entire empire.

“Oh, you are a saint, after all. Such a brilliant barrier was created to block the sacrifice…! Hehe.. But.. Unfortunately, this is all it is.“

The archbishop was delighted.

If this saint with enormous divine power works with the devil, anything can be achieved!

“…Yes. I can’t do anything. I can’t save the dead by myself… and I can’t defeat you. But..“

The saintess looked at me as if I was the only one she could trust now.

“I have an angel.“

The saint was not looking at me, but at Mr. SPIEL behind me.

“It’s too much~“

After saying one word, I shouted in my heart.

‘transform.’

It seemed better to deal with it quickly as Saint Aria, who used a large-scale brilliant barrier, might have a hard time.

Gray energy overflows throughout my body.

“It’s the power that captured the void.“

“Yes, I’ll be back soon, SPILC.“

“Wait a minute.”

When Mr. Spiel saw me about to leave, he flapped his white wings.

Then a pleasant feeling spread throughout my body.

“Infinite blessings to you..“

“Thank you.“

Blessed by an angel, I was almost invincible.

It popped out in an instant.

It flew in front of the archbishop, almost as if teleporting.

“Hehe..huh?“

Maybe it was because I was old, but I realized too late that I had climbed up the castle wall.

“What kind of devil is this that is seducing a saint?~“

“…Who are you?”

“Me? A devil eating a senile old woman.“

“Devil?“

On the spot, I summoned Sephiroth.

“Eat it up.“

The grotesque Sephiroth rushed towards the Archbishop, drooling.

-Thunk!!

However, Sephiroth was blocked by a shining barrier and his face was shattered.

“Where did you get such a mean thing..“

“As expected, you block it with that?“

I looked closely at the barrier created by the Archbishop.

It is read.

After realizing divine blood magic, I was able to see how this type of power manifested itself.

Completed understanding of how the force acts.

“Enchant. Destruction of the sacred barrier. Sephiroth.“

The blood of the shattered Sephiroth gathers again.

Afterwards, the body became golden as if using divine power.

“This divine power..!? You.. what have you done..!“

“What are you doing~ You’re trying to eat me, old man.“

“What a mean thing!“

I guess the people of the Holy Empire don’t suit me well.

Even Saint Aria’s face distorted when she saw me. As soon as Archbishop Lee saw me, his face became the same.

“I guess sacred things don’t suit me well.“

I wondered if they had caught the archbishop like that.

But before Sephiroth could eat the Archbishop, there was an interruption.

From all directions, imperial soldiers stab with sacred spears. It looks like the surprise attack failed.

The Archbishop also disappeared from the castle walls in a blur, and only the capable paladins and soldiers remained to try to stop me.

You can’t fail.

If you do this, you won’t be able to receive compensation from the saint.

My magical power grew rapidly.

At the same time, the Holy Empire soldiers around them began to slowly slow down.

“Retrograde. Glass era.“

After that, the magic happened.

Matters, sounds, and sensations around me… are all consumed by my magic.

And I could see that I was slowly returning to the time I wanted.

So, I returned to the moment when I first met Nochinnae.

“…Who are you? huh? No…I know you…“

“Yes, you know it well. Enchant sacred barrier destruction. Sephiroth.“

I sent Sephiroth to the archbishop I first met.

“Where did you find something so base..“

The Archbishop was conscious of Sephiroth and established a sacred barrier.

but..

-Click..!

“No!?“

-Ahh!

As soon as the sacred barrier was broken, the embarrassed Archbishop was immediately eaten by Golden Sephiroth.

“Yum yum yum..”

“…“

At that moment, the walls became quiet.

“What…what happened?“

“Who is that guy? He killed the archbishop in one fell swoop..“

Confusion began when everyone in the Holy Empire witnessed the scene of being eaten by a strange golden life.

And I saw Saint Aria under the castle wall and cried out.

“Goryeojang was a success~“

“Really.. you!!“

The saint gave me a bright smile for the first time.
