119 – Crossroads (4)

Dimona gritted her teeth. More solid than expected. That barrier…

It is several times stronger than the original sacred barrier.

Ashwal Haltz stroked his beard.

“It seems like it would be difficult to break through. It will take quite a long time.”

“That’s right.”

“Is there any other way to enter?”

“No. The sacred barrier spreads out in a circle. It covers everything down to the ground. Dismissal. There is only one way.”

I want to save my power, but I can’t help it.

Crack.

It is best to make it.

“I break it myself.”

“…Isn’t that overdoing it?”

“I have to overdo it. They apparently have been planning this for a long time. This is the one where the time to prepare is a long way behind.”

“If that barrier is breached, and we go beyond it…Didn’t the judge say he would take on Archbishop Dwayne?”

“I will do that, and I will do this too.”

“Is it possible?”

“I have to commit and see.”

Who didn’t teach me?

“Because nothing will change if you stay still!”

Holy power flowed down the drawn sword. Dimona’s eyes burned red.

The holy power that embraced her whole body burst out like crazy. The interrogators who were trying to break her s*xuality were startled.

“What is this…!”

“Frightening holy power…!”

The First Heretic Judge opened her eyes wide. The Archbishop stammered.

“Impossible…! This is almost like an apostle…!”

“The amount that a mere priest should not have…!”

It rushes. The flames of holy power are entangled in the wind and explode like crazy.

The sword covered in holy fire is twisted. It changes from the framework and settles down completely.

Shape transformation.

The power to transform the weapon you are holding into a weapon from Ra’s bible.

But it goes beyond that. Dimona knew.

How helpless she was. Was it just a struggle in the city of Paramer?

“…More.”

I tried to die.

She didn’t go to bed even after her official duties were over.

She went back to when she first became a heretic inquisitor, and trained until late at night with her teeth gritting.

I used night as day. Even if she slept only two hours a day, that was enough.

To not become helpless again when the worst comes.

To protect all the things I decided to protect.

The power that was honed and polished for the 5th Inquisition devoured the transformation. Dimona’s head was covered with a faint but certain ‘angel’s ring’ due to the power she generated.

The power of the next level of transmogrification. A realm that even the apostles could not easily dream of.

Partial deification.

Although she was not chosen by the gods, her own genius and strength built up through hard work reached the bottom of the sky. The wall that had been blocked because I couldn’t bear to cross it was broken, and the experience I had accumulated so far exploded in an instant.

The power to change and twist a given destiny.

“This, this is… What the hell…”

Ashwal hesitated and stepped back. His eyes widened as he saw the wind of bursting flames.

“How many apostles are there in the Sunsin Church?”

“I am not an apostle.”

The red irises were completely burned. The flames condensed. Wrapped around the sword, for an instant, he fell asleep quietly.

It’s a different feeling from Paramer, who just exploded his holy power as hard as he could.

Dimona put her foot down.

“The judge.”

The sword suddenly touched the holy barrier covered with hundreds of sacred laws that seemed to be firm forever.

A sword to condemn heresy. A sword to protect one’s own.

Kudeuk.

The sound was low. It was so faint I couldn’t even hear it. At most, it was just sticking a toothpick into the giant beast.

But the rift that started eventually swallowed everything up.

Dimona raised her eyes. She gave more strength to the sword that only left a dot on the barrier.

The sword of silent flame pierced the barrier as if it were melting. Stuck to the end of the hilt, it was completely pushed into the barrier.

A barrier made up of countless holy laws. Its structure is so complex that it takes hundreds of priests and several years to build an unbreakable barrier.

It is engraved on it.

Starting from a point, a change that swallows everything.

Dimona retrieved her sword. The flames went out, and the halo above her head slowly dissipated.

The red iris has lost its color. It returned to the calm red color like the original. Dimona as usual.

But Ashwal Haltz forgot to even crack a joke.

“…God.”

Under the admiration that overflowed, the hundreds of spells that covered the barrier began to break. Like a building with its foundations collapsing, spells that began to explode poured over their heads.

Passasak…

The snow made of holy power is scattered. Ashwal Haltz’s eyes widened.

Have you ever seen such a beautiful sight? Church Headquarters. It was also designed to protect the innermost things, breaking the high-ranking s*xual laws with the power of ‘individual’.

“…Are you…A human…Are you…?”

Dimona did not answer. Instead, she glanced around at those who followed her. With her back to the flowing piece of the Holy Law, she wiped away the cold sweat.

It was a bit overkill. To be honest, it wasn’t at the level of the herd. Her holy power was consumed to the point that her limbs trembled.

But this is the fastest way.

In order to catch up with Dwayne, who had been planning for a long time, she had to keep pushing herself. Dimona did not regret her own choice.

She just chose to move on.

“…Let’s go.”

The sword clattered into the scabbard.

“Take that f*cking face.”

. . .

Dwayne walked. The exploding defense castle split left and right.

One and two. Three and four.

Dozens of voices that easily exceeded single digits exploded in succession. Cultists covered in green flame shouted mechanically.

“There are only a few left! Majesty!”

“Forward!”

Your Highness.

How long have you been waiting for that sound? Dwayne’s face lit up in delight.

The power she longed for is right in front of her nose. It doesn’t matter if Dimona struggles with her. No matter what happens

Just kill Alpina and you’re done. As long as she kills her, everything in her church is in her hands.

In addition to bringing power, you can also take away the ‘Holy Sword Ascalon’. If he went that far, he could have reached a higher place than any other apostle.

To have the strongest sacred object of the Church of Ra and the ‘power’ to rise from the punishment cell at the same time…

It was the sound of being able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the strong men of the empire with pure force alone.

The ‘Twelve Stars of the Continent’, which is perhaps called the Outer Heaven. Might get there

In addition, there are still forces that have been prepared separately. What was sent to the city of Philamon is only a small part of it. Just looking at the number of forces encroaching on the Vatican headquarters right now, the number of fanatics alone is tens of thousands, and the paladins easily exceed a thousand are also prepared.

“…It’s over.”

It will truly devour the church. Even the trivial things buzzing outside will soon come into your hands if you have the strength to cry and pray.

Unlike the enormous rewards of the plan that had been set up, there was no risk to bear. The pope was an asshole who couldn’t even get up anyway, and the priestesses during the day were only guarding the pope in an emergency.

As the Pope’s bodyguard, it’s a natural thing. There was no one to disturb him on the inside. Although Arpina is said to be strong, well…

Dwayne vaguely noticed.

That Alpina doesn’t have the same strength as before. Even if she did, she wouldn’t be able to reach her in her prime.

“Your Highness, Cardinal Arpina.”

The sound of shoes echoed through the hallway. The protective spells that touched Dwayne’s body were broken one after another.

Things that are so weak that they are on a completely different level from anything I’ve ever woken up to.

Ah.

You guessed right. The prediction was correct. To be able to kill such a s*xual act like this in front of one’s own room.

You were dying. Arpina. How much trouble did she have to hide for so long.

You don’t have to make that effort anymore. He can give up everything.

Leave everything to me and rest forever. Your Highness Cardinal Arpina.

“I’m here to meet you.”

Dwayne stood in front of the door. There is Arpina in this. A huge room worthy of her prestige, and a place she uses as her office.

When her hand touched it, several s*x laws were instantly entangled in her hand. Protective spell. Is it the same here?

“…Frustration.”

She waved her hand. She was a bit overbearing, but cut them all off.

Damn it…

Paaang!!!

Fragments of the Holy Law scattered in all directions. Oxidized holy power scattered in all directions along with a faint light.

This is the end. Dwayne slowly opened the door. She smiled brightly.

“Your Highness. Lastly, I myself…”

Dwayne stopped her feet for a moment.

What is it?

This rotten mine…?

Something slipped through the open door. Rivers of rotten blood and flesh.

Dwayne glared at the dark side of her. There is something. Something she hadn’t seen before.

There was a black figure in front of Alpina who was sitting on her chair and covering her nose.

A black-haired girl I’ve never seen before. She is a character that has never been seen before in the church.

Flesh crawled out of the rotting blood. Bizarre beings with shapes held up spears made of bones.

…Black magic? Is it that kind of power?

“…Are you?”

“Maya.”

“What are you doing? How did you get here in the first place?”

“We’ve been together all along. Living here.”

The black-haired girl nodded.

“Don’t come in there anymore.”

“……”

“Die.”

Maya untied her hands.

Arpina could not stand it and threw up.

“Woowehehehehe! You smell so bad…!”

“A well-grown child.”

“This, no one can stand this…! I can’t stand it…!”

“Don’t go out. Stay with Maya. Maya will protect you. The boss asked Maya.”

Flesh gathered in her slit hands. Maya made a muddy, bone staff and grabbed it.

Lord of the Rotten. A shadow spread behind her and covered the entire room. Hundreds of eyes moved in their own way and looked directly at Dwayne.

Maya hugged Arpina tightly.

“Maya will protect you. Arpina.”

“I’m killing myself right now… from the smell… uuuehehehehe!”

Dwayne’s eyebrows twitched. It’s no joke. The difference in power she felt sent chills down her spine.

What is it? This crazy monster

Where the heck did it come from?

Dwayne asked before stepping his foot into the room.

“Who…Sent you?”

“President.”

“Who is that?”

“……”

Maya nodded her head.

“Zahard.”

The moment he heard those three letters, Dwayne’s reason cut off.

“This… Bastard…”

The respectful words collapsed, and a far-off miasma filled them.

“Where is the place that doesn’t get stuck… Where the hell is it…!”

. . .

Monica walked uneasy down the hallway. The First Penal Execution Center is now a mess.

There are many criminals, but there is an overwhelming shortage of guards to manage. Meals could not be distributed properly, and there were no personnel to manage the complaining criminals.

As the gaze decreased, the prisoners talked comfortably with the next room. I glanced over and looked for an opportunity.

“I don’t have a guard, but I don’t have much…”

“Maybe now…”

The number of prisoners is in the thousands. With only a few dozen guards left, you can’t see them all.

From noble mtl dot com

The prisoners moved. I scratched the iron bars with an object I don’t know where it came from. There were also those who screamed loudly and drew attention.

“Open the door! Bastards!”

“What’s going on out there?!”

“Open now! Let me out!”

Monica was busy moving. Not even for a moment could she rest. She is the head of the liver with only two left. She played a major role in it.

“Get out of the cage!”

“If an unexpected action is discovered, we will punish it immediately!”

“Stand back! Right now!”

Chwaaa!!

Her whip moved diligently. When Monica didn’t take a single break, she could barely keep up with her system.

She also knew that her guards were usually unreliable. But it was severe.

Guards in a state of panic feared the criminals and did not enter the building. It was to the point that some of the frightened people left.

“If even one of the criminals escapes…”

“Ooh, we’re all going to die… Look at the difference…! You can’t conquer them all…!”

These idiots!

It was a waste of time to curse. Monica chose to go a step further than to blame them.

It mercilessly strikes a sinner trying to escape, and carves a warning on her skin. He breaks her fingers that hold her barred and threatens her that next is her neck.

The situation got better, albeit briefly, when the force was mixed. Monica barely managed to catch her breath against her wall.

But how long will this situation last? Monica was anxious. Her shoulders seemed to collapse at the weight of her responsibility.

The only remaining head of liver is the stupid and incompetent head of liver, Rupes. Monica wiped her face. She’s right to leave the troubled child at her headquarters, but…

It’s like putting another enemy behind her…

When will the escaped guards come back? Is Warden Veronica doing her job well?

Everything was full of doubts. Monica breathed heavily. She was thirsty because she hadn’t eaten anything since morning.

“Monica.”

Monica turned her head at the sound of her voice calling her. Warden Rupes.

What he held out in front of him was cold water.

“Take it easy. You don’t have to be in too much of a hurry.”

“……”

A smirk moves in front of her eyes. The smile itself was similar to the relaxed Zahard, but the feeling was completely different.

This is disgusting.

Why is this human being like this? Monica quickly stood up. She didn’t want to take anything he gave her.

They shot straight away.

“Guardian Rupes seems to be comfortable. I’m going to die hard.”

“I was also moving diligently?”

“Okay. I don’t think I’ve seen it.”

“It’s because you move so fast. Take it easy. Things got quiet for a while. Huh? Drink this too.”

Rupes once again abruptly poured cold water into it.

“Let’s go in a good way. I don’t want to fight with you either. Even more so in this situation. You don’t have to drink it if you don’t want to drink it. Well…it might be a bit disappointing, but that’s it.”

“……”

Monica drooped her shoulders at her push. As if she was going to snatch it, she put the cold water in her hand.

Knocked up.

Poured into her mouth as it was. In fact, I was so thirsty that I wanted to drink.

A glass of cold water gives me the feeling that my body, which was drained of energy, is coming back again.

“…You weren’t such a bad person either.”

“Of course not. Didn’t you tell me before?”

Monica took a step forward.

But the next moment she fell forward.

“I always say Monica single-minded.”

My vision fell for an instant. It wasn’t until she hit her face on the floor that Monica realized the situation.

Her hands trembled. For some reason, her legs didn’t work.

About…?

Did something burn in the cold water?!

The holy power that was hastily raised was scattered in the air. Her stigmata didn’t glow properly, and she only blinked.

“What is this… Doing…!”

“He sent a signal, so the plan is almost at an end.”

A swallowing sound could be heard behind her, invisible back.

“Then it’s okay for me to take at least one loot. Yes? Monica?”
