“Where are you messing around?”

A sudden silence descended.

The knights standing awkwardly, and at the forefront, our Belladis, no, Vera, with a sulky expression.

With her pale beauty radiating vitality, she is as lovely as a magazine cover.

One could easily lose themselves in her enchanting charm for an entire day.

But right now…

There is a long-haired stray cat, fur bristling, unable to recognize its own master.

“Um… Vera?”

“How dare you shorten my name! That’s a nickname only for my master and me…!”

A menacing aura of magic rises from Vera.

“Do you understand why you should be torn apart and die right now?”

“…..”

Let’s explore the sense of disconnection between her and me.

‘Ah.’

Even in the divine possession, the perspective of seeing her is entirely first-person.

My avatar in the game is not accurately depicted.

This is to enhance immersion for the gentlemen.

Thus, the avatar in the game has an uncertain appearance.

And my current form, having descended using divine possession, is unfamiliar to them.

‘Emergency.’

Realizing that meaning, Vera’s anger no longer seemed like a tantrum.

‘Chobisaang!’

That is no different from a beast growling, genuinely intent on tearing its opponent apart.

-Whooosh!

The first sharp attack came rushing in.

I executed my skill and blocked it from a dangerously close distance.

-Clang!

With a fierce noise, her attack was blocked by a translucent barrier.

Though it felt chilling due to the murderous intent, Vera currently has no means to harm me.

My divine possession level is 10.

I have reached the highest tier.

This means that the body composed of divine possession cannot be harmed by anything in this world.

Even so, I wanted to try using a defensive skill at least once.

It’s not a good look to openly take an attack in front of everyone, and I wanted to try using a skill myself.

‘How cool is that?’

A celestial being descended from the sky, spreading its wings.

And the composure and gentleness of easily blocking the attack of someone who has reached the pinnacle of this world.

How am I supposed to endure this?

Returning to the present.

I decided to take action upon seeing Vera, who was becoming increasingly uncomfortable.

“Vera.”

“Again, that name…!”

Ah, we’re not that close yet, are we?

“Belladice.”

“How dare you call my name! I won’t forgive you!”

What am I supposed to do about this?

-Hoo.

The massive wings sprouting from my back began to flap on their own.

The resulting wind gently swept through Belladice’s hair.

I still hadn’t landed on the ground.

Suspended in the air, I slowly contemplated the current situation.

The atmosphere of the knights is quite ominous.

It was clear they had come here with the intention of causing trouble today.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have marched all the way here wearing such deadly weapons and armor.

For me.

They are steeling themselves to wage war just to save me from a hostage situation that doesn’t even exist.

‘It’s admirable, though.’

It’s truly ironic that all of this stems from a misunderstanding.

I thought for a moment.

Since I’ve already manifested my divine presence, why not continue with the concept?

For instance.

“War brings no happiness to anyone.”

Smiling benevolently, showing the ease of someone who knows everything about the world.

No matter how strong the force is, it can still create a sense of discomfort at least once.

“It doesn’t seem like something you would hear from the Black Sun Order.”

“Are you saying I’m an apostle of the Black Sun?”

“Then isn’t that the case? You suddenly appeared, neutralized my attack, and blocked my lord’s knights.”

Well, that’s true in terms of the situation.

I simply came for a fan meeting.

“It’s truly disappointing that you still don’t recognize me.”

“…You.”

As I maintain my composure, Belladis’s expression gradually becomes more menacing.

“You can either die or step aside.”

“What if I don’t want either?”

-Ugh.

A sound indicating the limits of patience comes from my clenched teeth.

Soon, another attack will come.

I first took a slow look at Belladis’s stats.

Belladis Rocheira

Magic 9 Strength 10 Agility 7 Intelligence 6 Mental Power 8″

The maximum value of 10, which is the highest realm a person can reach, is allocated to strength.

This means that no one can match Belladis in combat power.

Since fighting won’t work, let’s try to win her over with words.

I carefully recalled my memories with Belladis.

Quest character, vampire, victim of the Black Sun Order.

The hatred she holds for the Black Sun cannot be quelled by anyone.

Because it is a malicious group that completely turned her life upside down.

“The ‘Avatar of the Black Sun’ is subtly gauging the situation.”

‘Isn’t it wrong?’

It feels very much like something from the human world, showing signs of being carelessly handled.

That’s why she’s so twisted.

“The first time I met you, you were with Lishia.”

“…Lishia?”

“Have you finally decided to listen to the story?”

I don’t want to fight. If I do, my pretty face will get hurt.

Talks about battle are limited to terrestrial beings; they don’t apply to constellations like us.

Regardless, I continued to speak to Belladis, who was in a state of uncertainty.

“Back then, in that place, the forbidden sanctuary of the Black Sun Order.”

There’s no story more effective at tickling the human heart than a first encounter.

Isn’t it said that first impressions count for half?

Among them, stories related to Belladis belong to a very intense category.

“How do you know that?”

“Lishia was worried about you, but I knew about the warm feelings inside you.”

The battle with Belladis, the vampire of the Black Sun, boasts a difficulty level that stirs the community.

To avoid shame in borrowing the name of a legendary monster, it was clear that the developers put in a lot of effort.

With bizarre attack patterns, it smashed the hopes of users who approached the battle.

-Phase 2.

Moreover, watching the boss’s health bar rise with every hit felt like falling into cosmic horror, chilling my blood.

Many users gave up on her capture and chose to eliminate her instead.

But I did not give up on Belladis.

What I needed was my perseverance and time.

Lishia played a significant role in the battle with her.

Only Lishia, who had been with me from the start, could handle combat power on par with Belladis at the front lines.

‘The others are specialized in support anyway.’

That doesn’t mean the other characters are useless.

It was just that, at that moment, Lishia’s presence was crucial.

As I blocked Belladis moving on the golden stage, I immediately analyzed her patterns and provided feedback to Lishia.

Thus, we ultimately succeeded in bringing Belladis to a near-death state.

[Vampire Belladis Rocheira]

An important factor in that process was indeed finding a way to decipher the curse inherent in her blood.

Holy Blood.

A condition for capturing allies that can only be obtained by attending and clearing an event quest for a full 16 days.

And that special trait is still within my body.

“Holy Blood (S)

: This is the divine blood imbued with a powerful holiness that can suppress the curse of blood. If used on ‘Belladis Rocheira’, she can be recruited to the order.”

Of course, since Belladis is already part of our order, it won’t have much effect, but still, isn’t emotion important?

Here, I pondered once more.

‘Hmm.’

It would be boring to just use it.

With all this buildup, if I just use it casually, it feels like it would fall flat.

How can I expect a dramatic presentation?

My eyes naturally turned to the message window that was whining.

‘Hey.’

At my call, the avatar of the Black Sun showed a question mark.

‘You asked for help. With just your bare hands?’

“The ‘Avatar of the Black Sun’ stiffens.”

‘Let’s use some of your order’s members.’

Since it has come to this, I decided to actively utilize the situation.

“The ‘Avatar of the Black Sun’ doubts my ears.”

‘You have to do your part too.’

I mean, is it strange for a villain order to act villainously?

Currently, I am the one fully receiving Belladis’s grievances, so I needed to shift her attention elsewhere for a moment.

Our target from the beginning, the Black Sun Order, is right over there.

The priests of the Black Sun are fully prepared to stop our advancing order.

Their dark armor creates an intimidating presence, but compared to our dazzling members, they seem like mere children.

They must already know.

If a crusade breaks out now, one order will be erased from the world today.

‘Have one of your members attack me.’

“The ‘Avatar of the Black Sun’ asks if I am crazy.”

‘Just do it. Are we folding the board?’

As I coldly added that, a commotion began among the group of the Black Sun that was in confrontation.

“W-what is this! Why are you acting like this!”

“Grrr…!”

One of the bastards convulsed, and soon a massive amount of divine power surged forth.

It seemed that the frenzy and amplification of divine power granted by the Avatar of the Black Sun had been activated.

‘That’s right.’

Feeling pleased with that, I continued the conversation with Belladis, maintaining a benevolent expression as if I knew nothing.

“I apologize for standing before you only now. This is all my sin.”

“What are you talking about right now?”

Belladis’s confusion deepened as she fell further into the labyrinth.

However, there was no time to deduce the answer to her questions.

“Kraaa!!”

In an instant, a priest from the order jumped between Belladis and me, delivering a powerful blow.

-Swoosh!!

Red blood splattered across her pale cheek.
