A peerless killer possessing a cat girl assassin from another world

The day of judgment.

Half of the city's residents gathered in the city center, filling the streets and alleys.

They came not just to join in the fun, but quite a few of them also really wanted to see who this "Shadow Heir" with a strange name was.

Only a very small number of people who know the inside story or have other intentions gather here with their own purposes.

The violent desert seemed to be giving face to the city and was unusually calm today.

Even the guild's temporary commissions were temporarily suspended, allowing more adventurers to attend the meeting.

......

"There are so many people. I couldn't tell a few days ago... Are they all hiding in their rooms?"

Beorra picked up a small snack offered by the vendor next to her for tasting and muttered to herself.

"Hmm... it tastes good, want to try a piece?"

As she spoke, Beorra picked up another piece and handed it to Kalulu, causing the stall owner to roll his eyes.

"After all, it's a major case that shocked the whole city... Everyone wants to... uh huh... join in the fun..."

"You know what, there's something really good about this... Boss, are these cookies homemade? Do you have a secret recipe?"

"Yeah, so you want to buy it?"

"......Um......"

But Lulu pretended to think about it, and inadvertently picked up another piece and handed it to Sophia.

"Try it? I have nothing to do anyway."

"Thanks......"

Sophia seemed to be thinking about something and didn't pay attention to Kelulu. She took the biscuit, put it in her mouth, and didn't say anything.

"Where's Wu Yue?"

Beorra asked.

"I don't know, it seems that her teacher Karen wants to ask her something... Oh... From my point of view, she is definitely going to cause trouble... without me... Humph..."

As if she was angry, Lulu grabbed another biscuit and threw it into her mouth.

"Hey, little girl, don't be reckless just because it's a food tasting...are you going to buy it or not?"

"It's so noisy, uncle... Is this enough for you? Stop interrupting me while I'm talking."

But Lulu took out a few gold coins and threw them to the stall owner.

"Enough, enough, absolutely enough... Eat slowly... Eat slowly..."

It's great that most things can be solved with money...

"Eh? Look, isn't that Erza-senpai?"

Beorra said, pointing at a wizard girl wearing a conspicuous hat in the distance.

"right......"

At this moment, Elsa was looking down at the ground. The number of people today was beyond her ability to handle, but she had no choice but to come.

As one of the six clan leaders, Zamotu naturally had to be involved in this major case that was big enough to cause a diplomatic crisis.

In this case, Elsa, who had just returned underground a few days ago, naturally had to come back with them.

"Hey! Erza-senpai! Over here!"

Beorra's voice made Elsa look up and search for the source of the voice until their eyes met.

Elsa seemed to have finally found her organization. She immediately walked quickly through the crowd and came in front of the three people.

"Hi...long time no see...everyone..."

"Come on, come on, Senior Elsa, try this, it's delicious, eat as much as you want, this whole mess belongs to us."

"Oh...ok..."

"How's it going, Elsa-senpai, how's your enchantment learning going? Did that grumpy old dwarf give you any trouble?"

Kelulu asked.

"...No...No, although Mr. Zamotu has a strange temper...he is still a good person...I have learned almost everything...enough to pass the college's assessment..."

"What a pity, Elsa-senpai is out of town these two days, but she missed the show..."

"Um... Actually, I've been active in the city before..."

"Really? When?"

"Just a few days ago, in order to complete the task assigned by Mr. Zamotu, I went to the guild to accept the commission..."

"Really? We often go to the guild, so why don't we see you?"

"Maybe it's just a coincidence...By the way, there are so many people here, what are they doing?"

"Um... Erza-senpai... You really didn't know? This is going to be a public trial... Haven't you been around the city? How is it possible that you didn't hear about Kageji's arrest?"

"This... I've never heard of it..."

"Wow... No way... Senior is so uninformed..."

"Feel sorry......"

......

"I am back."

While Beorra and Kalulu were telling Elsa about what had happened in the past two days, Yan walked out of the alley and returned to the team.

"Senior sister, how is the situation?"

Sophia seemed to be waiting for Yan to come back, and as soon as she saw her, she asked questions immediately.

"The dwarves' confidentiality work is better than expected. I can't see anything, but the importance of this trial cannot be underestimated."

"It is certain that the Dwarf King and the chiefs of the other three clans will be present."

"As for the church...it seems that the saint is still in charge of showing up, with a cardinal beside her. I haven't seen any other powerful people from the church yet...I'm a little skeptical. Is Menethil here?"

"If the Dwarf King can appear...it only means that the church has a representative of the same level. She will definitely come."

"Makes sense."

"Ke Lulu."

Sophia turned and said to Kolulu.

"what happened?"

"Don't act rashly later. We don't need to disrupt the situation here."

"I know...you said it yesterday...if you don't want to move, then don't move..."

......

"It was such a grand occasion... but this was exactly the kind of scene he hated the most..."

On top of the bell tower, Karen looked down at the crowds of people below and sighed.

"I once witnessed a trial like this while on a mission in the Papal State's Reker City... but it was much more serious than this one."

"The person on trial was not some vicious criminal... but just an ordinary village girl... The church put all sorts of false charges on her, but did not allow her to make any defense for herself. For this reason, they fed her poison in advance so that she could not speak."

"She was found guilty, and the church's executors stripped her of all her clothes and paraded her through the streets..."

"They shaved her head and painted all over her body symbols of repentance... They distributed leftovers to the onlookers who did not know the truth, allowing them to vent their evil."

"After the parade, it was time to walk to the gallows, and finally be freed..."

"Wu Yue, you have to know that the most terrifying thing about this matter is not how cruel the church's methods are... but that this trial is a boring farce. They abused an innocent person and controlled public opinion in order to maintain the church's prestige..."

"And this kind of farce happens every now and then in Recker..."

"The church always likes to label those who do not believe in the Holy Light as 'heretics', and Shadow Heir is no exception."

"Although the Shadow Cult is a 'cult' in name, what is it actually like?"

"They are just a group of pitiful idealists who huddle together for warmth... They have never thought of really relying on any 'god', or Yingsi himself. They just want to create an ideal future with their own hands..."

"It was the Church that created countless Shadow Cults with similar figures throughout history, and it was also the Church that sent people like Shadow Cults to the execution ground one by one..."

"Unfortunately, no matter how hard it struggles, the church still stands..."

"People have become numb... accustomed to living in that kind of environment..."

"If the goddess of light really exists... why does she turn a blind eye? Why does she turn a deaf ear? Why does she keep silent?"

"Look... Wu Yue... the trial is about to begin..."
