bang!

Allegri’s body slammed into the opposite wall, his habit flying.

I swung the mana-covered fist with all my might, and it seemed that the damage was stronger than I thought.

Even when I saw the guys imprisoned in the cage, I was in a hurry, but I couldn’t hold back my anger at the words of my old friend who followed.

So, you should have taken the line well.

In the first place, he crossed the line in that he was doing something like this after catching someone of Elaine’s age, but it was a matter of mood.

From the moment I saw the girls, the treatment of Allegri was already decided in my head.

Coke-

Pushed against the wall through the rising dust, Allegri coughed and stood up.

It is clear that he is also a competent person, seeing that he did not show any injuries even though he hit it with sincerity.

The reason Scarlett and Hatoon didn’t follow him was because they trusted him.

Allegri’s mouth went up as he met my eyes.

“So, have you decided on an answer to the proposal?”

“I already showed you.”

Pointing at the half-collapsed stone wall with his chin, Allegri nods knowingly.

“okay.”

In the first place, I came here to take a shot at that face, but there’s no way I’ll miss that opportunity.

Since we’ve come this far, how many more should we hit?

“Then let’s go back to our seats. Scarlett.”

clap clap-

“What is this… .”

Allegri clapped his hands, and the world changed in an instant.

To be precise, the surroundings of the dungeon were changed to the first floor of the original church.

‘transition?’

“Unfortunately, the negotiations did not take place, Hatun.”

“Stupid.”

“Cover your words, Scarlett.”

Two people slowly approaching me while chatting.

“Were you able to use magic?”

“It’s none of your business.”

The fact that I and Allegri were transferred in an instant means that the magic circle was already set up beforehand… .

‘Or maybe it’s the work of that old man.’

Transfer magic consumes a lot of mana, so unless you are a tolerable wizard, you cannot build it alone.

There must be at least one person to stably build a magic circle.

Even in the game, if you use it once, your mana will run out.

It doesn’t show, but Allegri’s forehead was dripping with sweat.

Judging from this, it can be seen that it was he who sent a signal to Scarlett on the first floor after constructing a teleportation magic circle in the basement in advance.

“I’m sorry it turned out like this.”

“What is regret? From the first time I saw you, I wanted to beat you.”

“He has no manners.”

“Did you say Scarlett?

“… this guy.”

“Stop it, Scarlett.”

Scarlett, who had growled at Allegri’s gesture, took a step back.

Listening to Allegri well even without being so mean is like watching a Chihuahua.

It is obedient to the owner, but barks at passers-by.

It would be fun to trample on one’s self-esteem.

‘What is he saying now.’

He shook his head and let his thoughts fly.

Being in this body, it seems that my way of thinking is starting to resemble Altean.

“As I said before, Miss Elaine is very important to us. No, not only for our church, but also for the future empire.”

“A saintess?”

“The saintess’ activity can be seen by opening any history book in the library. In the fight against the ancient demons, the saintess has become indispensable.”

Demons, long enemies of humans, were vulnerable to the divine power emanating from the saintess.

This was a fact that has been steadily passed down not only in books but also in academy classes.

I already know because I’ve played the game, but the head of the Mercia Church is looking for a saint in a situation where the fact that the demons have returned is still unknown.

It’s safe to say that Allegri certainly has a competent brain.

No matter what the process was, in the end, the saintess Elaine raised by him would play a big role in the war against the demons in the future.

This made me wonder what Allegri believed and acted like that.

“Why do you need a saintess? The demons must have been pushed to the eastern continent a long time ago.”

According to the game story, the demons were almost driven to the East Continent after being defeated in the war against humans.

Afterwards, the entire eastern continent was isolated through the ancient magic of the storm wall, and the space between demons and humans was divided. After that, centuries passed and the demons started to appear again. The overall content of the game.

However, it is difficult for non-players to realize this fact.

Unless you really have the ability to see the future.

“A book passed down from generation to generation in our church predicts the resurgence of demons. Following these teachings, we continue to focus on nurturing the saintess.”

there really is

“How could that be wrong?”

“Even if it is wrong, we will move forward with our own convictions. However, there is no way that the teachings of the believers in the past were wrong.”

“It’s blind faith.”

“It may seem blind to others.”

“It’s how you see it as much as you know.”

Hatun, who was watching, helped.

He also looks normal on the outside, but it might be abnormal from the fact that he is here.

It seems similar to a modern pseudo-religion to see that it only believes in the texts handed down from generation to generation and acts like that.

‘No, more than that.’

It seems that these bastards have done more than arresting normal children and putting them in prison and torturing them.

“Then, for those in the know, are these all three? I thought the Church of Mercia was quite large.”

“Of course, there are believers in other regions besides the capital. Because these days, the focus is on the provinces rather than the capital. That doesn’t mean they’re weak.”

“I guess so.”

As long as you stay by the side of someone like the Patriarch, your skills have been proven to some degree.

I even competed briefly.

“Have you any questions now?”

Allegri asked with a smile.

“Can I tell you this? In particular, the church’s internal circumstances must be sensitive, right?”

“Ah, it doesn’t matter.”

Allegri’s head slightly raised at my question.

Then, with a deep smile, he continues.

“Because I don’t think you’ll ever die.”

flash-

The two men who were conversing with their eyes glowing disappeared in an instant.

Cold, damp stone floor.

The slender girls lying there slowly get up.

Every time I move my body, my joints and bones cry out in pain, and the wounds all over my body that haven’t healed yet vibrate as if pricked with a needle.

The tattered clothes had long since lost their function as clothing and exposed the pure white naked body.

“… .”

Among them.

Among the girls, the small girl in particular raised her head.

With cloudy eyes and a lot of red scars all over the body,

She was a girl with crumbly brown pigtails.

“Rita. Are you gone?”

As the girl stood up, the girl next to her asked her.

The girl called Rita gave a small nod in response.

The basement, which became quiet in an instant, was quiet as usual.

As if waiting for Rita’s action, the girls started moving.

Some healed each other’s wounds, and some ate cold loaves of bread to satisfy their hunger.

There was a faint light in his dying eyes.

“Who was that person?”

The girl took a big bite of the crumbly bread and said.

As a result, the other girls start to help one by one.

“Cultist… Maybe? He looked a little scared.”

“huh. I’m not afraid of any of them.”

“Eris, you’ve been lying down all day.”

“It’s because I’m hungry!”

Eris, the hot-headed girl, smiled and laughed at the actions of the girls around her.

Then, Eris approached and asked Rita, who was staring blankly out of the iron window.

“Why, Rita?”

“… .”

Since Rita was a silent girl, Eris did not find her silence very strange.

Rita’s voice was at a level that could be heard once or twice every few days.

But today was different.

Rita, who had always been lying down, was staring out the window as if she had found something.

Eris looked in the direction Rita was looking at, but there was only a dark hallway.

“Did you see anything?”

“… sound.”

“sound?”

Rita raised her head and began to look up.

And then close your eyes

“What the hell are you hearing—”

It wasn’t until Eris’s words were finished.

thud-

“Aww! What, what?!”

thud-!

A roar rang out in succession, and the ceiling began to thump.

Dust particles from the ceiling fell due to the vibration.

“sound.”

“Eh, Eris! What’s out there?!”

“I don’t know either. What the hell is going on? I’ve never been like this before… .”

Between the girls who became noisy in an instant,

Eris only looked at Rita.
