Chapter 320
“Where is this bastard and what is he doing?”
Liana de Granz muttered with her arms crossed, frowning.
The Miss & Mr. Temple contest has already begun.
All of the Royal Class students who came to watch the contest were sitting in adjacent seats watching the contest.
“I know… … .”
Harriet quietly muttered at Liana’s nervous tone.
All of the contestants might have been students like that, but all of them were outstanding in appearance, and if that was a little lacking, they all had at least one outstanding individual skill.
Ellen’s entry number is 9.
Now that turn 7 has just ended, Ellen’s turn will come soon.
All the classmates including Kono Lint were there, except for Reinhardt.
where do you do what
Harriet was in a mixed mood.
I don’t know what happened to Reinhardt, but I thought he would come, but he didn’t come.
According to Liana, the 5th grade senior didn’t show up in the waiting room for some reason.
What are you doing?
It must be a place I have to come to, so why not come?
I feel fortunate that Reinhardt doesn’t appear, and at the same time I think it’s not.
Harriet knows that she is cowardly in not wanting Reinhardt to come. Today, she was afraid to even see what Ellen would be like.
It was the same that everyone was puzzled that Reinhardt couldn’t be seen.
Harriet watched the situation in silence and nervousness, not knowing why she was nervous.
Participant No. 7, who was a bit nervous but calmly finished the dance of the Appeal Time, entered, and the time for the next contestant, No. 8, came.
While the person’s order was passing, Harriet herself became rather impatient.
And, participant number 9.
-Now, this time you are a Royal Class participant. As you all know, the royal class is numbered in order of skill, right? The participant this time is the Royal Class 1st year A class, No. 2. It’s Miss Ellen!
Ellen walked out onto the stage with people applauding.
“… … .”
Of course I knew.
It’s because I always wear only my school uniform or training clothes. Harriet knows that Ellen has a very striking appearance.
However, seeing Ellen dressed up properly, Harriet almost opened her mouth in a daze without realizing it.
Riana seems to have been looking for the color that suits Ellen the most.
Ellen was now wearing a pure white dress. Her hair is up in her ponytail and accented with her bow. Ellen, she was wearing white heels, and even Harriet wondered if she stood out too much compared to the other contestants.
Liana was looking at Ellen like that with satisfaction, and her classmates as well as the audience who didn’t know Ellen were staring blankly at Ellen like that.
He practiced laughing lightly, and now it was perfect that he had a pretty believable smile.
That’s enough.
Isn’t it comparable to Olivia?
Harriet thought so.
But no matter what the onlookers were thinking, Ellen was still looking at the audience with a smile on her face.
As if looking for something.
Ellen, who was looking for something, soon met Harriet’s eyes, not the person she was looking for.
To be precise, her eyes met Harriet’s, and she scanned her surroundings. Like he’s looking for someone out of nowhere.
And finally, the gaze returns to Harriet.
It was like asking something.
It looked like she was asking if I couldn’t find it.
Even though Harriet was not the person present, her heart seemed to be tightened.
Ellen is asking Harriet with her eyes.
Didn’t Reinhardt come?
Harriet couldn’t quite figure out how to respond to that gaze. Because he can neither laugh nor cry.
For some reason, he seemed to have a very strange expression on his face.
Ellen lowers her eyes.
As if Harriet’s trouble itself had already been answered.
-Ellen Yang, is there a special reason for participating in Miss Temple?
-ah… … .
Ellen trembled.
There must have been something you wanted to say.
Harriet sees Ellen trembling, her head hanging.
-Today, I want to show this image to someone in particular. Was there anyone like this?
-… … .
Ellen did not respond to the moderator’s question.
That, in this situation, was exactly what Ellen was saying.
I have to say something, but what should I say? Seeing Ellen in agony, Harriet gritted her teeth.
A little while ago, Harriet thought it was a relief that Reinhardt didn’t come.
However, when I saw Ellen’s miserable appearance, I had only one thought.
It looks like Ellen will be ruined.
If nothing else, Harriet never wanted that much.
‘where are you… … .’
Harriet unknowingly clenched her fists.
‘Where are you doing… … .’
Harriet resented Reinhardt for not coming.
* * *
Sarkegar was watching the situation from the outskirts of the Wasted Monastery. The monastery, which had been unused for a long time, was huge, but because it had been abandoned for a long time, it gave off a dreary atmosphere.
Sarkegar still didn’t quite understand the situation.
I just hurriedly followed the words that I had to use my strength, but I still don’t know how this situation is going.
However, there are personnel to be rescued, and there are enemies to be annihilated.
I don’t know why, but it’s about revealing their existence in earnest.
The goal, as always, is stealth.
This time it’s not kidnapping, it’s rescue.
Turning into a sparrow, Sarkegar easily flew over the outer wall of the monastery and headed towards the inside of the monastery.
The security was not strict, but there were little by little troops for security.
Among them, there are about 20 elites who can actually pose a threat.
The master ordered to rescue the two women.
A woman imprisoned in a monastery.
Even a woman who has just rushed into a monastery.
The number of people armed and able to use holy power in the monastery was probably more than that.
Sarkegar belongs to the demon species.
That’s why, even if it’s not as good as the undead Elleris, it doesn’t match well with divine power. That’s why he wasn’t too eager to infiltrate this place full of high-ranking paladins.
But, do you have any dislikes for carrying out orders?
Sarkegar goes inside the monastery and carefully flies around looking for signs.
-Where is Adriana?
Without having to look so closely, Sarkegar could hear the enraged voices coming from the clearing.
A woman who has just arrived at the monastery.
-That’s after hearing the answer from you.
– You know what the answer will be.
-Then you know what will happen.
-What do you want?
Sarkegar moved closer to the scene where the conversation could be heard.
An empty lot in a monastery.
A middle-aged man was sitting on an old chair around a bonfire, accompanied by several paladins, and across from him was a young blonde woman wearing a temple uniform.
Sarkegar knows that the middle-aged man is Leberier Ranche.
“Return to Tuan. And recant all your testimony, and profess that you regret it.”
“… … .”
“The Five Great Main Church, with the Knights Templar as the main axis, will separate from the empire and establish an independent holy empire, and you will be the first emperor of that empire.”
“What… … . does not make sense… … .”
Olivia gazed at Leverrier Ranche.
prosperity.
Independent.
Olivia felt as if she would choke on the tip of her chin just hearing those words.
“… … What if you can’t do that?”
“Things will start to happen that you will regret.”
“Are you going to kill Adriana? She’s that young child, she hasn’t even been a nun yet?”
“Let’s call it an unavoidable sacrifice. God will understand.”
Obvious contempt and disgust lingered on Olivia’s expression when she saw Leberier Ranche holding up a shield in the name of God in front of her evil deeds.
“… … Is this your father’s way? I was so resentful of losing my power, so resentful and unfair. Isn’t it your father’s way to even abandon your faith and not your humanity?”
“This is an inevitable choice to counter the threat to the five main religions. Also, as long as you promise to come back, you know very well that no one will get hurt.”
“I am not going back.”
“Even if something happens to the child who saved you?”
“… … .”
Despair and resentment pass through Olivia’s expression.
LeBeria Ranche believes in the vision of making Olivia prosperous, but in reality LeBeria Ranche is aiming for the restoration of his honor and the restoration of his own rights caused by reversing Olivia’s words.
“Why me? Why are you here? If my father wanted to do something, he would just do it. I really don’t know why you’re trying to put me first. like this… … . I don’t know why you’re risking other people’s lives to threaten me. really… … .”
“As I always say, it’s because there is no one more qualified than you.”
“Don’t try to rationalize that, please… … .”
Olivia finally breaks down in tears with sadness.
“You just want power. You want to put me forward and satisfy your own greed. So, I even created this strange group. You want to reverse what I said in order to restore your honor and regain your power, right? … .”
“Olivia, I don’t think you understand what I mean. But people have their assigned roles and destiny, and I live for that.”
Leberier Ranche had an attitude that would not allow even a toothpick to go in.
“My role was to lead the Pandemonium War to victory before, and now it is to protect the Knights Templar, the favorites of the Five Great Religion, from the clutches of the Empire.”
In front of the weeping Olivia, Leverrier Ranche does not reveal any personal feelings.
“And you are next to me. That’s how I decided, and that’s how I grew up. If that doesn’t happen, we just make it happen.”
“how… … . why… … .”
“If you refuse, do you think it will end with Adriana?”
“!”
Olivia opened her eyes.
“Do you think you can’t touch Reinhardt?”
“Uh, what… … . what the hell… … . sound… … ?”
When the name Reinhardt came up, Sarkegar, who had been watching the situation, silently watched Leverier Ranche.
Sarkegar understood, though not fully, that Leberier Ranche had to be eliminated.
The author is the menace of Valier. As soon as the name Reinhardt was mentioned, Sarkegar clearly saw Olivia’s expression distort.
That woman was a clear ally of Reinhardt. Sarkegar gets that confidence too.
“If it doesn’t work with Adriana, you’ll just find someone else who is dear to you. Olivia, I called you here to show you that this can’t be the end.”
“… … .”
“Give it up, Olivia. Before weeping and clinging on until a small pain becomes a bigger one.”
Olivia’s eyes went blank when she heard that, as if her pulse had been let go.
Adriana is just the beginning.
If she doesn’t give up, Lebarrier Ranche will destroy Olivia’s precious things one by one, no matter what.
Nothing can be achieved through threats and torture against Olivia, so Lebarrier Ranche looks for a way to dissuade Olivia from the outside.
I know that even if I put up with getting hurt, I can’t stand getting hurt by those who are dear to me.
Olivia, accustomed to sacrifice, knows that she would rather sacrifice herself than see her loved ones hurt.
Just as when Radia Schmidt tried to destroy herself using Berserk, she gave up the championship and sacrificed herself in the name of forfeiture.
Lebarrier Ranche knew how to move Olivia.
“you are… … . devil… … .”
Olivia speaks in a desperate tone. The Paladins around him flinched at those words, but Le Barrier Ranche held up his hand to stop them from opening their mouths recklessly.
“okay. If you can’t escape… … . This must be right.”
Olivia’s body starts to burn with explosive light and blue mana.
Olivia, who strengthened her body using both divine power and mana, glared at Lebarrier Ranche.
“If I die or you die, it will all be over.”
Rather than live with this hopeless compulsion, Olivia eventually chose to resist rather than respond or succumb to it.
Because if you die, no one will be sacrificed.
But before that, if I can kill Lebarrier Ranche, who plotted this terrible thing, I will try to kill it. However, Leverrier Ranche was still calm in front of Olivia who showed her hostility.
“Do you think I didn’t know you would make that choice?”
Let Lebarrier Ranze beckon you. Two paladins appeared from somewhere in the hallway.
“… … !”
“The moment you try to do anything nonsense, you will see Adriana die.”
“Seniors… … .”
Adriana with a miserable expression was being dragged into the clearing by the paladins. Olivia was looking at Le Barrier Ranche with her eyes wide open.
“this… … . vicious… … !”
“Even if you try your hand here, it will only end in dog death, and you will have to see Adriana die first.”
From the guilt on Adriana’s expression, she seemed to know very well what she was being used as bait for and for what purpose.
Olivia couldn’t reach out after all. The moment Olivia tries to do something stupid, she will do what the sword pointed at Adriana’s neck will do.
“First of all, I don’t know why you think this is a bad thing, all of this is the first step towards protecting church members. It’s about saving a lot of people. If you change your mind just a little bit, you can save a lot of people.”
Olivia couldn’t answer anything at Lebarrier Ranche’s words.
No, I didn’t.
The author sincerely believes in his words, so nothing can be said. He does not doubt himself because he believes that the path he takes is truly justice.
Olivia knows her adoptive father well.
he is such a person
A person who always asks for something and has never been persuaded.
“Seniors… … . I, never mind me!”
“Adriana… … .”
Adriana, who was being held, shouted at Olivia with a guilty look on her face.
Adriana’s expression was disillusioned beyond disappointment at all of this. The expression on her face showed that she had lost even the will to live her life, disappointed that what she had cared for was only so much for her.
“Seniors… … I am, I am fine. I am okay. As you wish… … .”
“Adriana! don’t say anything I… … . I… … .”
I.
Olivia was speechless afterward.
What should I do to save Adriana?
To save Adriana, you must stand in front of them.
You have to pursue something you don’t even want, whether it’s a holy empire or something.
LeBeria Ranze may be able to become the Templar Commander again, but he has to lie that all the harsh things he did to him were lies.
Adriana is just the beginning.
Olivia coolly organizes her thoughts.
For now, let’s listen to them.
After listening, confirm that Adriana is released safely.
let’s die
If you die, you won’t bother anyone to change your mind, and you won’t be able to bother yourself anymore.
Because his own death would be the greatest revenge for Lebarrier Ranche. Because what those who want to use them want the least is their own death.
Olivia thinks so, and decides to accept the offer for now.
at that time.
– Squeak!
“Ouch!”
– Chop!
“ぅ!”
suddenly. A strange thing happened.
The heads of the two paladins holding Adriana were suddenly severed.
In the sudden fountain of blood, the mouths of Olivia and Lebarrier Ranche opened.
In the darkness, watching the two decapitated bodies struggle, a shape took Adriana’s captive body.
“What is human?”
A dark figure that looked like a shadow murmured in the darkness with its red mouth open.
“How can you be so evil?”
The figure of darkness, which seems more evil than anything in the world, smiles as it speaks of human wickedness.
-Shhh!
“!”
As soon as the black figure reached out, a shadow enveloped Olivia’s entire body.
“This, this… … !”
“Asmodians… … ?”
He spreads the wings of a shadow-like film that seems to have intertwined shadows, and soars into the sky.
– Huung!
“Hehehehehahahahahaha!”
Along with the frenzy that rips through the night sky, the monster that snatched Adriana disappeared into the sky in an instant. It happened so suddenly that Olivia couldn’t even resist, she was caught in the monster’s trap and dangling in the night sky.
-What, what is it! Let it go!
It was a delicate and cute scream that did not match the serious and ominous atmosphere.
“What is that!”
“It looks like a demon!”
“Uh, how did the demons come to the ecliptic… … !”
Leverrier Ranche pointed at the mysterious demon monster that suddenly disappeared with Olivia and Adriana, but no one knew what it was.
But it didn’t take long to be embarrassed by the situation.
This is because there was a situation that made it even more embarrassing.
-Kurrureurreung!
Dense dark clouds hung over the night sky, and lightning shimmered in the dark clouds that formed.
– Flash!
Suddenly, lightning starts to fall from the sky.
Harriet de Saintoine summoned a thunderbolt during her battle with Olivia Ranze.
Dozens of such lightning strikes poured down.
-Kurrureurreung!
“Keugh!”
“It’s magic!”
The Paladins who were hit by the lightning activated their holy power to protect themselves, but those who failed to react properly were charred and crumbled in an instant.
The highest level of destruction magic, Thunderstorm, was cast.
“It’s an attack by demons!”
Paladins immediately grasped the situation and shouted, but the situation was not good.
Thunderstorm wasn’t the end.
– Chiiyiing
There were several grotesque gong sounds that seemed to distort the space around the monastery, followed by huge shockwaves in the north, south, east, west, and west directions of the monastery.
– Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwang!
Four chain explosions.
Explosion was cast four times in a row, and the monastery, which had been devastated, collapsed and was crushed.
Paladins, priests, and members of the Order who did not use the protection so strongly were already shattered.
It’s a carnage.
Paladins begin to experience hell due to an unexpected raid by a high-ranking wizard.
Lightning rained down, and the monastery was blown away by an explosion.
and.
-Kurrrrrrr
The earth is turbulent, and flames begin to rise from the ground.
A rain of lightning from the sky.
A storm of fire erupts from the earth.
Firestorm began to burn fiercely with the momentum to sweep the land.
“This… … .”
Lebarrier Ranche watches as the lightning strikes all over his body and the flames on the ground devour the Paladins.
There was a time when, in front of the Templar headquarters, a firestorm like this suddenly erupted.
There was a time when a dragon appeared and an unidentified lycanthrope appeared and made a mess.
Lebarrier Ranche wasn’t in charge of leading the succubus at the time, but he knew from the report.
Isn’t this the feeling at that time?
An unidentified demon attack.
While the flame wave is sweeping away, someone emerges through the flames and lightning.
As if the magic had deflected itself, they were unaffected by this mess.
There was a Lycanthrope, a wolf-shaped demon with a silver mane.
and next to it.
Something human but not human, with blazing red hair and a pair of curved horns sprouting from its temples.
-Quarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
In the middle of Hell Island, a lycanthrope and an unidentified demon appear.
The demon was inside the wall of flame, and had a sword with a milky white blade slung over its shoulder.
“Leberrier Ranche.”
This situation was a series of incomprehensible astonishment.
With his eyes wide open, Lebarrier Ranze shouts while being hit by heat and lightning strikes.
“you… … . Who are you!”
“me?”
A demonic boy approaches him dragging his sword on the ground.
“My name is Valie.”
“He is the enemy of the Demon Realm.”
“I am the rightful heir to the Dark Lands.”
The boy aims a sword with a milky-white blade at Lebarrier Ranche.
There was no choice but to find out what the sword was, so Leverier Ranche widened his eyes.
“uh… … how… … crab!”
“ruler… … . You corrupt priest bastard.”
from one to ten.
Lebarrier Ranche did not understand this situation at all.
“It’s time to be punished.”
But even if you can’t understand it, the situation is happening.
The demon king holding the holy sword is trying to kill himself.
