I Became the Heavenly Demon of the Academy

Stella (6)

The light emitted by the Holy Knight, the brilliant white light emitted by Cardinal Richelieu, and the pure white light currently spreading around Stella.

The color was the same, but the feeling was completely different. Compared to the disgusting aura emitted by Cardinal Richelieu and Paladins.

The light emitted by Stella was warm enough to embrace everything.

In this way, the halo of light that occurred around Stella soon spread everywhere and began to permeate the people who were about to be sacrificed as ‘materials’.

The ritual, which squeezed out the last remnants of the Holy Beopjin that were spread out in the city, endowed Stella with enormous holy power.

Of course, it was impossible for a human body to absorb all of it. Originally, it was the holy power necessary to turn Stella into a doll that lost its intelligence.

Basically, it was based on the premise of consumption.

Because the ritual was interrupted, the holy power itself obtained by squeezing people was obviously less than expected, but even so, a sufficient amount of holy power remained and flowed into Stella’s body. In addition, there was also the holy power obtained from the disintegration of the holy relic, and now, for a moment, the holy power contained in Stella’s body was far beyond its limits.

The holy power that would disappear without being absorbed anyway, Stella decided to restore it.

miracle.

What could only be called a miracle happened. All the dying people responded to Stella’s prayers and regained their vitality. It would be difficult to use holy power like before, but there should be no problem in preserving life.

The first person to be decapitated could not help it, but it could be seen that the sacrifice of the rest was prevented.

“…”

Surrounded by brilliant wings, Stella prayed incessantly.

When the ritual was performed, the first emotion I heard was anger.

I wanted to get up right away and kill everyone in this place.

The second feeling was urgency. Please, stop this cruel thing.

However, everything went smoothly against Stella’s will.

In the end, it’s about the time when you despair at the impossible, give up, and give up.

Carol appeared.

It was a possibility I had never thought of before. This is not an empire. The distance from the holy kingdom to the academy where Carol is located is enormous. Not to mention Carol, the possibility that someone will come to save him, considering it coldly? I thought no.

Stella was not very sociable, and had very few people in her life whom she could call close. Cardinal Richelieu, who could have been said to have been there, betrayed Stella in such a cruel way.

Carol was not very close with her. Rather, it was closer to evil. After talking a few times at social gatherings, the initial bad impression disappeared, but even empty words could not be good.

So is this the will of God? Or is it a miracle? Did God send the existence of Carol to punish Cardinal Richelieu and others?

“Wrong. The voice of the God you believe in did not reach me.”

She suddenly said that, as if she knew what Stella was thinking as she stared at Carol after praying.

“Uh, how?”

“Your expression shows everything. I must have been delusional, thinking that it was a miracle from God or that God sent me.”

“…if not that.”

It was incomprehensible. What on earth did Carol like to come to save herself?

“Man saves man, do we need such a great reason? It’s just a natural human thing to do. Trying to prevent an innocent person from being sacrificed, or saving a crying girl. It wasn’t that difficult for me, so there was no reason not to do it. That’s all.”

At Carol’s gaze, who was looking at her indifferently.

Stella didn’t know what expression she was making.

I tried to ignore the hot teardrops running down my cheeks. I tried to say thank you with a smile because I received help.

“ah….”

However, words did not come easily. The expression also didn’t go as I wanted. All kinds of emotions were mixed, and I couldn’t really organize my mind properly.

Is it natural for humans to save humans? It wasn’t natural. If all those with power acted like Carol, preaching the duty of human beings.

The world wouldn’t have been like this.

Just because I believed in God, it wasn’t that I only had ideal scenery like heaven in my head. A hero was a being who could not take his eyes off reality. The world Stella saw was ugliest. It was like a jar of chaos mixed with all kinds of desires.

Rescuing people for nothing in return was something more likely to happen in fairy tales than in real life. That fact, he knew very well. So I didn’t expect it.

Looking at the crying Stella, Carol waited in silence.

Even though she was a warrior who had been thoroughly educated since childhood, in the end, Stella was just a girl of her age. It’s a rough world, so if it was a peaceful world, just laughing and chatting would have been enough.

The ceremony was stopped with minimal sacrifice, but even taking that into consideration, it was too harsh an ordeal for a young girl to bear. Even now, I was struggling to hold back my tears, and it was to the point of feeling sorry for me that I was giggling as if I had forgotten how to cry.

It’s unfortunate, but that part was something I had to overcome on my own. No matter how good Carol was, even if she told Stella, there was no way it would get better.

Stella, who had been sobbing silently in place for a while, took a few deep breaths and regained her composure.

“Thank you again. Carol.”

Stella lowered her head, fully opening her half-closed eyes and looking straight into Carol’s eyes with bloodshot red eyes.

“okay.”

Seeing Carol calmly nodding her head, Stella felt like she was going to cry again, but she held it back.

He shifted his gaze to Cardinal Richelieu, who was sprawled on the floor. and slowly approached

“Ohh… S… Stella…!”

Although all his limbs were gone and he was unable to move properly, Cardinal Richelieu saw the ‘miracle’ Stella had done.

saintess.

no.

was an angel The angel descending technique attempted by the Seongguk in the past was buried in the back of history, leaving only a devastating failure in the destruction of a city.

He himself created an angel with his own hands. Look at that beautiful and holy figure with its brilliantly shining wings spread wide. If that’s not an angel, then what is it? It would be enough to be called a truly great achievement.

“Stella, purify that demon right now! You can do it now!”

Seeing Stella approaching him, Cardinal Richelieu exclaimed. I couldn’t completely finish the ritual including mind control, but at that level, it was definitely close to success.

I don’t know what he did, but judging from the fact that he even absorbed the power of the holy relic, it was a sufficient achievement even if it fell short of the plan.

In front of Cardinal Richelieu, who glared at Carol and shouted, Stella slowly removed her lips.

“The devil is not Carol. How can a person who wants to save the innocent become a devil?”

Stella looked down at Cardinal Richelieu and spoke calmly, yet clearly every word.

“Are you… disobeying my orders?”

Stella had never once refused to obey her orders. I was taught that way in the first place.

“…I will refuse. Until the day I die, I will not forget the grace like hahahahae who led and taught me. If Your Highness’ sins were trivial, I was willing to shoulder the burden as well. However, Your Highness, Your Highness has committed a very great sin.”

“crime? What do you mean by my sin? look at yourself now Truly, an angel from heaven descended to earth. How could this be a sin? God will understand me too. And who do you think owes you that power?”

Stella shook her head quietly.

“Don’t sell God’s name. Has Your Highness ever heard the voice of a god? you won’t have That’s why I was able to do such a terrible thing, without incident. And for the power that I didn’t want, for this power that someone sacrificed, I thought I would be grateful? Your Highness did not teach me that much. Do not be intoxicated by the power given without effort. This is what His Highness has asked me to do every time. Did you forget?”

“That…that’s…”

Ignoring the bewildered Cardinal Richelieu, Stella continued talking.

“I believe that Your Highness must have noble intentions as well. When I was young, when I first held the holy sword. Your Highness’ eyes were different from now. At first glance, I saw huge ambitions, but I also felt the sincerity of serving the world. But, Your Highness, I can’t feel anything like that in your appearance right now.”

Cardinal Richelieu’s face began to be stained with despair at the will he felt from Stella’s determined words.

“I was not wrong. If only I were the Pope.”

“On top of the monumental tower built with blood, what did your Highness want to accomplish? What did you want to become Pope for?”

“…”

Hearing Stella’s accusations, Cardinal Richelieu realized that it was no use to say any more. Everything he had prepared over ten years collapsed like a sand castle in a single moment.

What did you want to become Pope for? of course….

….

I didn’t think of it. There was something I promised myself when I was young. No matter how hard I tried to think of Cardinal Richelieu, I couldn’t think of him.

Looking at young Stella’s bright eyes, what did he say?

I didn’t even remember that.

No, I didn’t want to think about it.

Because I don’t want to be miserable anymore.

Staring at Cardinal Richelieu, who kept his mouth shut and refused to speak, Stella sighed and turned around.

bang-

From somewhere, I heard a strong sound of running and stepping on the ground.

“This… this…”

Chloe, who arrived late, saw the scene unfolding before her eyes and stopped in a state of stunnedness. He threw off his heavy armor and hurriedly ran with minimal armament, so he couldn’t even breathe properly.

“Once the ceremony was blocked.”

Carol told Chloe with a tone that it was nothing.

“Yes, of course I know it because I saw it.”

After looking around for a while, Chloe’s gaze was fixed on one spot.

“Long time no see, Stella.”

Chloe, who spotted Stella, smiled brightly and waved her hand.

“Is it Chloe?”

“What about Chloe-sama? Just call me sister like before. You’ve grown a lot in a few years I am completely a lady now.”

“…yes, sister.”

I see How was Carol able to reach this far? Now everything made sense. Carol wouldn’t have found out about Stella on her own. It must have been someone told me. And who is that?

“hmm. It looks better than I thought. thank god. Your wings are pretty.”

Watching Chloe smile with a silly joke, Stella resisted the thought of bursting out in tears again. The string of ties was also tough.

Watching Stella whose eyes were getting moist every second, Chloe approached little by little. Then, he held Stella tightly in his arms.

Stella wasn’t short either, but Chloe was quite tall even compared to a man, so Stella was completely hugged.

“great job.”

“…”

In that warm embrace, Stella couldn’t hold back her tears. Everything she tried to endure in front of Carol came out, and she buried her face in Chloe’s chest and burst into tears. just like it was in childhood.

“I used to cry like this when I was little.”

As if feeling sorry for Chloe, she slowly patted Stella’s back in her arms. Even the burden of being a warrior was heavy enough, but why the hell is this child subjected to such an ordeal? As a Heretic Questioner, this was something I absolutely shouldn’t have done, but whenever I saw something like this, God was savage.

Stella, who had been shedding tears on Chloe’s chest like a child for a while, blushed and stepped back slightly.

“…sorry.”

Staring at Chloe’s wet chest, Stella wiggled as if embarrassed.

“What, between us.”

“But… thank you, sister.”

“No, thank you not to me, but to Carol.”

Chloe put her hand on her hip and shook her head resolutely.

“Yes, of course.”

“For now, just wait. It seems that this sister has a lot of things to deal with.”

“…All right.”

Leaving Stella’s flushed face behind her, Chloe struggled.

It was splendidly done. Just how many paladins died here. Cardinal Richelieu was dismembered and sprawled.

“hello? Your Highness Cardinal.”

I was dizzy at the thought of fixing things up, but Chloe decided to talk for now.

“You… you were…!”

Only then did Cardinal Richelieu realize what was behind all these incidents. minor gap. From a position as high as that of Cardinal Richelieu, he was at least a somewhat famous Heretic Inquisitor. Looking back, it was nothing.

Not taking that into account has led to this result.

“Yes, that is me.”

“How the hell are you going to take responsibility for this!”

“Okay, how are we going to do this?”

I did it out of anger, but from Chloe’s point of view, it wasn’t really a question that had an answer. No matter how powerful the Heretic Questioner was in the Holy Land, hundreds of paladins were slaughtered and even the cardinal could not easily cover up such an incident.

If you look at the position of Minister of Yebu and Cardinal, he was higher in rank than Director Malleus Malepicarum of the Heretic Questioning Bureau.

After thinking for a while, Chloe finally gave an answer.

“For now… Shall we declare Your Highness a heretic?”

“What… what?!”

As usual, Chloe smiled brightly and spoke.
