Episode 192: Dream in the game becomes reality

45. Each person's position (2)

"die! "You plague demons!"

"Shut up! "You fanatics!"

Reversed.

10 times as many enemies.

A siege is the worst situation.

The cave connected to the hideout we passed by has already collapsed and there is no place to escape.

The situation was all hopeless, but surprisingly, the devil worshipers continued their struggle.

This is because the combat abilities of devil worshipers are greater than expected.

-Keaaaaaaa!

-Quaaang!

"Wow, a Gigantic Basilisk and a Hydra!"

"How come all of those necromancers only use top-tier monsters?"

"We have to kill that guy first!"

This was possible because the necromancer waited for the right moment and poured out all the power he and his colleagues had worked hard to accumulate at once.

All of the monsters were difficult to deal with unless you were a superhuman (7th Circle, Auror Master), and even the Hydra, considered a quasi-dragon, and the Gigantic Basilisk appeared.

Thanks to this, the devil worshipers were able to persevere.

"Holy shit!"

"Tsk! Are they really a saint and a saint!?"

But that also had its limits.

The war situation began to flow one-sidedly as the legions of necromancers were destroyed one by one, and the elites of the devil worship group gradually lost their lives.

This was all because of the saints and saints who showed tremendous majesty to the devil worshipers.

"Hold on just a little while! Because when Celine comes back, she'll have the upper hand again!"

Nevertheless, the devil worshipers did not give up.

They still had the strongest card left, Celine.

Since she would be able to fight 1:1 against a saint or a saintly woman, I figured that as long as Celine returned, the situation could be turned around again.

"Celine? "Are you sure you mean the woman who is fighting with Prince Lawrence?"

None of the devil worshipers thought that Celine would lose to Adrian and Arcia.

To them, Celine was the strongest and a symbol of victory that knew no defeat.

Thanks to this, Saint Sylvester, who was inwardly embarrassed after realizing that the level of devil worshipers was not normal, had to distort her expression at the hopeful cries of her enemies.

'Prince Lawrence won't be defeated, right?'

The word defeat does not suit Adrian.

However, I couldn't help but worry because Adrian and Arcia didn't look like they could easily win against people that even they were having a hard time with.

"Saint Sylvester! "I will help!"

However, as the situation continued, Saint Sylvester realized that her worries were for nothing.

Adrian appeared with Arcia, calling the saint's name.

Thanks to this, the reactions of the two camps were sharply different.

"Oh, Prince Lawrence and his wife have won!"

"what!? Nonsense!"

The religious group cheered, confident of victory, while the devil worshipers fell into despair with an expression of disbelief.

"Ooh, don't be ridiculous! Celine is defeated by you guys!? "That makes sense!"

"I was appalled when I was throwing 400 swords. However, by preventing them from eating others, preventing them from receiving treatment, and dragging the battle into a long battle, they got tired of it and gave up."

Adrian confirmed the kill by throwing the rag-like robe that Celine was wearing in subspace with a playful expression.

This was to completely break the enemy's fighting spirit.

And Adrian's plan worked.

This is because the enemies lost their fighting spirit and committed suicide in despair.

"Tsk! "Stupid guys!"

"You are being deceived."

"Even though the Goddess is the Creator, she is absolutely not good."

The devil worshipers lost their lives spewing out unpleasant words one by one.

And in the end, only one person who appeared to be a high-ranking executive remained.

It was a man wearing a neat suit, and the man who had been swinging a sword until the end fell to his knees in front of the saint and the saint, losing both arms.

"You plan to keep him alive and get information from him?"

Adrian looked at the man and asked the saint and the saint.

But the answer and reaction that came back to him was completely unexpected.

"Devil worshipers are to be killed immediately."

"yes?"

-Wow!

The saint beheaded the devil worshiper without even looking back.

Adrian swallowed his breath and looked down at the corpse.

The body of a devil worshiper was no different from that of an ordinary human being.

"Oh, no. "Isn't it better to obtain information by keeping them alive, whether by torturing them or giving them drugs?"

In response to Adrian's protest asking why they killed him so easily, the saint and the saint added a word each.

"Devil worshippers, no compromise, no dialogue."

"Even if it is one-sided information collection."

How can it be so inefficient?

Adrian had to make a shocked expression, and the saint and saint shrugged their shoulders, saying there was nothing they could do.

"There are no exceptions. "That's our rule."

Meanwhile, the saint and saint ordered their subordinates to collect the corpses.

Adrian felt really fortunate that he hid Celine separately.

"It looks like the person you two defeated is amazing. "Most of the devil worshipers held out, waiting for her to return."

"Well, he's powerful."

Adrian didn't give a detailed explanation, as if he didn't want to even think about it.

"What did you do with the devil worshiper's body?"

In holy places, the bodies of devil worshipers are examined for various purposes.

For example, there are many things that can be found out just from the remnants of black magic, such as who the demon behind it is and which faction of the demon lord it is.

That's why Adrian said this about Celine, whose body can't possibly be there.

"It was completely reduced to ashes."

"You said that last time, but why are you so anxious to burn the devil worshipers to death?"

"I could be resurrected using technology I don't know about."

"haha."

Normally, you might wonder if there is something else going on.

But this was not the case for Adrian.

This is because he already had a record of burning a devil worshiper, donated a compass for chasing demons to the shrine to kill devil worshipers, and was the person of greatest merit who designed this operation.

And above all else, wasn't she the guardian of the next great saint?

Therefore, no one suspected his intentions.

The saint took out a compass from her bosom to chase the devil.

Then the compass briefly pointed to the collapsed underground cavity and then spun around.

This means that there are no devil worshipers around.

The reason it briefly pointed to an underground cavity at first was because of the remnants of black magic.

-widely.

Then the compass pointed south.

"I think there's another devil worshiper in the south. The distance doesn't seem that far. Just how many people are hiding in the Elysian Alliance... … ."

The saint and the saint wanted to run south immediately.

Unfortunately, it was a time limit.

-Go go go go go!

[Stop, stop, do not move at all.]Numerous sky fortresses cover the sky.

Thousands of Elderguards, the pride of the Allied Powers of Elysia, came to surround it from all directions.

"her… … . Are you really a saint and a saint?"

"That's right. "His Royal Highness Prince Lawrence and His Royal Highness the Queen Mother are also here."

"I will report this to the Council of Eight Kings."

Among them, the leader of the Elderguard and the Grandmaster of the Elysian Alliance, Jeriel High Elven, approached and was greatly embarrassed when he recognized their identities.

"First of all, we will take care of you until the higher-ups make a decision."

No matter how saintly or saintly a person is, the use of force without the permission of the country in question is bound to be controversial.

Of course, the reason was because of the devil worshipers and the Elysian Alliance showed a lukewarm response to this, which caused this tragedy, but for now, it was decided to follow the military's instructions.

"All right."

They silently followed Jeriel High Elven.

Originally, they would have had to trap him, but even the Grand Master of the Elysian Alliance could not dare to do that.

* * *

After all, power is good.

Should I call this arrest or should I say I was brought in?

Afterwards, we were treated with the utmost respect as state guests.

Not only a dinner, but even a massage at the spa was prepared to soothe the mind and body exhausted from the battle.

And after the schedule was over, I was able to visit the highest power organization of the Elysian Alliance, called the 'Eight Kings Council'.

"welcome."

Only the saint, the saint, myself, and Arcia participated in the meeting of the eight kings.

However, at the meeting of the eight kings, not only the Beast King but also Marignan sat on the Beast People side.

I looked at Marignan, and she nodded and gave me a small sign.

But when I saw that her forehead was red, it looked like she had just been hit.

"What do you think about this situation?"

Strictly speaking, we should be in the position of sinners, but Saint Sylvester asked coldly, as if putting pressure on the kings of the eight tribes.

It was like a soldier dealing with a terrorist.

Then the kings closed their eyes tightly.

They also understood that they had no control over this situation.

There were devil worshipers hidden in the country so powerful that saints, saints, and cardinals suffered.

Since there is clear evidence for this, it could be considered a public achievement if Anha Muin were to appear.

Now was the time to bow my head.

"I'm really sorry. "We acknowledge that our judgment regarding this incident was complacent, and we will take measures to allow free search activities within the Allied Powers in the future."

When the elf queen spoke as a representative, the saint and saint shook off their dissatisfaction and nodded.

Then, the saint took out a compass to chase demons, hoping to see if there were any traces of the devil worshipers in it.

A priest can easily sense dark magic at close range, but the compass that chases demons can even find remnants of dark magic, so it can even identify those who are involved.

Fortunately, the compass was not pointing to anyone.

"Marignan, what happened to my request?"

"I decided to accept it. So we are quickly gathering the parties."

Perhaps because it was a formal occasion, it was Marignan who spoke politely to me.

Saint Sylvester tilted her head in response to our conversation and asked what that meant.

"Considering the circumstances and the fact that the devil worshipers were deeply entrenched in the Elysian Alliance, don't you think there was someone in power who supported them? So, I asked them to gather the main power figures of each race in advance."

This shouldn't take up time.

I made Marignan move quickly before all the stooges ran away.

The saint and saint were amazed by that.

It seems he likes how I handled my work.

"This is only possible with the cooperation of the leaders here, right?"

"That's right, Your Majesty. There is no reason for us to support devil worshipers. Although we were late, we realized the seriousness of the situation and decided to actively cooperate. "Most of the key figures in the Allied Powers have probably gathered by now."

The elf queen answered the saint's question.

You can find dark magic with the magic compass that the saint has, but you can discern it more accurately with my magyeong.

After winning, I decided to clean up the upper part of the Elysian Alliance.

"It seems like everyone just gathered together."

"No one escaped?"

"I tricked the gathered people into thinking that we would work together to find a way to respond to the dogma of the church. "Maybe that's why no one ran away."

If so, that's a relief.

Afterwards, we headed to the Allied Conference Hall with the kings of the eight races.

About 500 people of various races were sitting in one place in the large conference hall.

Except for the dwarves, all of them have gorgeous faces.

They changed their expressions as the saint and saint along with the eight kings entered.

He noticed that the situation was different from what he had heard and expressed his doubts.

On the outside, I didn't feel any particularly dark magic.

So the saint silently took out a compass, and I looked at each person with a magnifying glass.

"Well, this…" … ."

First, the saint wrinkled her eyebrows.

This is because the compass pointed complexly here and there in front.

I knew what that meant.

"21 people."

A larger number than you might think.

Abnormalities were found in as many as 21 people.

It seemed that they themselves were not devil worshipers.

If that were the case, the saint and saint would have been discovered first even without using a compass.

That means.

It means a helper who shares the same views as devil worshipers.

"We need to expand the scope of the investigation."

The eight kings obediently agreed to the words of the saintly woman.

* * *

Roughly speaking, we can say that the devil worshiper incident has been resolved.

There are still remnants left, and there seem to be many helpers here and there, but now the Holy Land will be able to resolve the matter on its own without me having to step forward.

Because of this incident, the saint and the saint expressed deep trust in me and Arcia and said they would give me the status of honorary paladin.

Honorary Paladin status can serve as a kind of indulgence in emergency situations, so I did not refuse it.

"I think Saint Sylvester will be embarrassed if she finds out that I stole a devil worshiper."

But I can't help it.

Because I have something I must check.

"Are you here?"

Blake hid the devil worshiper Celine in the ruins we explored.

If you walk around Dragon Land with a person who is full of dark magic, a dragon may come out, so it can be seen as an appropriate response.

The ruins we explored had the ability to hide the energy inside, so they were perfect for hiding dark magic.

"Yes, thank you for doing me a favor."

"Because it wasn't such a difficult request. "She's in her third room."

I walked behind Blake.

The third room is where we battled the Elyos Guardian and acquired additional holy swords.

It was a fairly large place, but in the center of it was something that looked like a large animal cage that I had never seen before.

And then I saw a woman crouching inside the cage, hugging her knees.

Blood-red hair and red eyes.

She is a woman with a beautiful appearance.

The problem is that the body is stained with black magic.

"You treated the injuries we inflicted?"

"I have no intention of cleaning up the poop and urine."

"haha."

In that case, even if Celine goes on a rampage, he has the ability to subdue her, so I don't think there will be any problem.

"hey."

She would have already noticed our visit.

Celine Viola was startled by my call and slowly raised her head.

"Yes, oh, are you here? lol."

And Celine let out a clumsy smile that was almost servile.

[Relationship: Submission / Obedience] [Status: Notice / Fear]But somehow her condition changed strangely.

Obedience to submission?
