Those surrounding the Pope frown at his greeting.

Even in this situation, the Pope is thought to be joking. Erginus would have thought so originally.

If only the Pope had not known the power he used to recreate his own head.

“How can that be? How can an apostle of evil handle the divinity of the Lord?”

“Because the great Lord is merciful.”

Only after facing Erginus’s astonishment did the people realize that the Pope’s words were not false, and they were astonished.

But what was strange was that the knights who should have felt betrayed by his words, and Rasha who was with him, were not at all flustered.

“…Did you know?”

When Faby, who was familiar with the knights, asked with a trembling voice, they nodded.

“No matter what happened in the past, the fact that you believe in what Your Holiness has given you will not change.”

Despite their serious voices, it was difficult to believe that their words were sincere.

It was more convincing to say that the apostle of the evil god brainwashed them rather than that they stood by because the apostle of the evil god had noble intentions.

In fact, most people looked at the Pope with angry eyes. The Pope, who had been smiling leisurely even under the sharp gaze of others, met Lucy’s eyes and lowered his eyes.

“You already knew about me.”

“You’re an ugly piece of trash?♡”

“Ha. Hahaha! How can you be so noble! I can’t even dare to imitate you, relying on your grace!”

The Pope, who had been laughing like a madman for a while, finally looked at Lucy with a face that was so calm that it looked like he was dead.

“You could kill me.”

Benedict was the first to feel the sudden change in atmosphere.

Reacting to the madman’s gaze looking at his own daughter, he added strength to his hand without a moment’s hesitation.

Following suit, other strongmen also took up their weapons to eliminate their enemies.

However, the weapons that were supposed to be swung at the enemy fell to the ground without reaching the enemy’s neck.

Time stopped for all the blind men who had gathered to block the Pope.

Just two people. Except Lucy and Erginus.

“Is it the power of Agra?”

“Their time has been temporarily ended. You, the Dark God, will understand. Power is a very ambiguous thing.”

The Pope reached out to Lucy, knelt on one knee, and held out his hand respectfully.

“Please join me. I need you.”

Erginus answered that question in a rough voice instead of Lucy.

“Do you think I should send it to you!?”

“Of course, you can stop me as much as you want. But would that be okay? We’d have to break up again.”

When the Pope asked, looking at the Fairy Queen who was frozen and unable to move, Erginus’s eyes became bloodshot.

“Do you think I’ll give in to your nonsense?”

“Great Mage. I am an Apostle of Agra. I just took the shard and gained power. It is not difficult to lead a fairy queen to darkness.”

“Then you know it won’t be hard for me to tear you apart…”

“Stop acting like a loner♡ Does the chicken coop queen like guys who are like retards?♡”

Erginus suddenly turned his head and was about to say something, but then met Lucy’s eyes and bit his lips.

“…I’m sorry.”

Lucy, who had let out a small laugh after hearing the bitter apology, grabbed the Pope’s head and slammed it to the floor.

The knights shouted and stepped forward at the sight of the iron armor crushing the back of the Pope’s head, but the Pope himself raised his hand to stop them.

“Stay still.”

“But Your Majesty!”

“It’s an order. Stay still.”

“Yeah♡ Can’t you see that dirty trash is enjoying it?♡ It’s obvious that it’ll get boring soon if you keep twitching♡ Don’t get in the way just because you’re jealous♡ If you want to be stepped on, line up♡ You perverts♡”

Most of the knights frowned at Lucy’s fierce smile, but they did not rush to her. To them, the Pope’s orders were absolute.

“Apostle of the Lord, I will tell you everything. So please come with me. It won’t take long.”

“Like♡”

“Anything you want… Yes?”

“I’ll follow you♡ You dirty old lady♡ I promise you instead♡ You’re my slaves until I leave♡ I’m going to treat you like trash worse than animals♡ Are you happy?♡”

“I will gladly accept any punishment that the Apostle may impose.”

Lucy, who had kicked the Pope in the face, stood in front of Rasha.

“Get down.”

“Kid. I think you’re mistaken. I’m that old lady’s colleague, not her subordinate. ”

“Trash Grandpa♡ The slave won’t listen?♡”

“Lasha.”

“Hey, old lady. I’m following you around.”

“Lasha!”

“…Ah. Fuck. Seriously.”

As Rasha lies down on the floor, swearing, Lucy climbs on top of her as if it were a given.

“Just wait, kid. Later I”

Lucy slapped her butt hard enough to make a sharp noise ring out, grabbed Rasha’s trembling hair, and whispered in her ear.

“Don’t tell me what to do♡ What have you learned until you’re that old?♡”

While Rasha was controlling her anger in the midst of her humiliation, the Pope rose and took out the scroll from his bosom and tore it apart.

A blue light blooms around them and the bodies of the Pope and his entourage become blurred.

“Then I’ll see you later, Erginus.”

When the magic of teleportation ended, Erginus, left alone, threw his staff on the floor.

After some time had passed and the evil spirit’s power had worn off, everyone who saw the surroundings where everything had ended bowed their heads without exception.

“It was inevitable.”

Breaking the long silence, Cardinal John opened his mouth.

“Because Agra’s power stopped everything. It’s a miracle that no one died.”

“Our daughter sacrificed herself! A kind and gentle child whose miserable life was saved by joining hands with the enemy! Does this look like a miracle to you?”

Benedict, who had been shouting nervously, chewed his lips at the sight of Johan’s complicated expression.

“I’m sorry, Cardinal John.”

“No. You have the right to say that.”

“I don’t think so. I promised to protect my daughter. I swore an oath. But I couldn’t do anything. As a father, I can’t do anything.”

As Benedict shook his head and lowered his face, Faby approached him and whispered to him.

“Alun Baek. That’s the same for everyone. Everyone cherished Youngae, and they’ve only received help from her so far, but now she’s helped them again. It’s sad. But it can’t be helped. ”

“Saint. There is nothing that cannot be helped. I should have protected my daughter. I!”

“Alone hundred.”

“Benedict Allen. Your daughter chose it herself.”

Benedict opens his eyes at Erginus’ words, who was sitting in a corner.

“My daughter chose it herself!? She had no choice! Otherwise, we would have been in danger!”

“Benedict.”

“What on earth have you done! How could you send me away so easily when you have the authority of a god!”

“Benedict Allen! I can beat you until you’re satisfied! I’ll listen to your grievances as much as you want! So listen to me for now!”

Erginus let out a long sigh as Benedict, who had been glaring at his opponent as if he was going to explode, collapsed on the floor.

“There was more than one choice. I could free you from the power of the evil spirit, I could take on the enemy myself, I could even think of retreating all the way back. Anything was possible because the balance had been upset by the Pope’s actions.”

“Then why Lucy.”

“I knew that Lucy Allen was not unaware of this. She had Ruel by her side. She would have known all the possible scenarios. But even so, she chose to follow the enemy instead of fighting.”

Those who listened carefully to Erginus’s words realized that something was strange.

Lucy Allen is not one to like the word give up.

No matter how desperate the situation may be, he is a hero who is willing to reach out if there is a possibility of holding on to hope. And in the end, he is a warrior who turns hope into reality.

The fact that she gave up resisting and willingly followed the other person means that there must be something they don’t know.

“Benedict Allen. Is your daughter one to be easily defeated?”

“…Of course not. Lucy is a much better person than this worthless father.”

“Then do your best and wait. The time will surely come.”

Those who had been crushed by despair are rising one by one. Lucy Allen did not make a sacrifice.

They just moved forward to prepare for the future. Then they themselves cannot collapse.

As they clenched their fists, each with their own determination, the first queen appeared with light footsteps.

As Benedict, who had been standing with his head held high, thrust the tip of his sword, the first queen raised both her hands.

“Alright, Baek. I came here to talk.”

“Please speak.”

“Looking at Rene being Rene, it seems His Majesty has been defeated. He must not have died since he has the power of Agra, but he must be sealed somewhere. And judging by the lingering energy here, it seems the Pope has come and gone.”

“What do you want to say?”

“I propose a deal. I will tell you everything I know, along with the Pope’s purpose, and I will actively cooperate with you in the future. So when everything is over, return His Majesty.”

1 The queen met the gazes of her enemies one by one and turned her head towards Erginus.

“You don’t have to worry about me betraying you. I’m Erginus’s puppet.”

*

In a quiet mansion of unknown location, in a room of the building where all the windows were blocked off so that it was impossible to even look outside, Rasha was kneeling before Lucy.

“…Kid. I can stand you climbing on top of me. I think you can stand to be restrained because I’ve done it before. But, this isn’t it!”

“What is it?♡ I’m a kid so if you don’t tell me in detail I won’t know♡”

When Lucy tapped her chin with her toe and taunted, Rasha, who had been clenching her fists, pointed to what Lucy was holding and shouted.

“I am the Apostle of the God of Destruction! I am Rasha, the Strong Hunter! Why do I have to wear a dog collar!”

“This necklace suits the beast well♡”

“It’s a matter of pride!”

“Pfft!♡ Pride?♡ Has there ever been such a thing for a pet that crawled around with its owner on all fours?♡”

“Kid. Keep your distance.”

“So explain♡ Why is this not possible?♡”

“That’s. That.”

“Ahh~♡ Are you saying that because you think your hidden tastes will be revealed?♡”

“What the hell are you talking about!”

“Who felt good when they got on top of you?♡ Does it feel thrilling when you get hit like a horse?♡ Maybe you go around looking for strong people and pick fights because you want to be defeated…♡”

“Shut up! Before I kill you!”

Even though Rasha suddenly got up from her seat and showed her murderous intent, Lucy laughed at her with her chin still on her hand.

“If it weren’t for that, then there wouldn’t be a problem♡ If you’re not a pervert who’s happy being treated like a dog, then what would be the problem♡ Right?♡”

Rasha gulped as she stared at the leash fluttering in front of her eyes, then grabbed it with trembling hands.

“Why are you hesitating?♡ You’re not expecting this to happen to you, are you?♡”

“Please, can you shut that mouth for just a moment!?”

“Why?♡ Aren’t you happy when you hear my cute voice?♡”

“Fuck, seriously…”

Lucy, who was looking into Rasha’s eyes filled with countless anguish, thought to herself:

It was so, so good of you to follow the Pope.
