## Chapter 234 – Holy Knights
“Hell! This place is hell!”
World War II, which drove tens of millions to a miserable death!
The 625 War, where Koreans hated and fought each other!
And Japanese imperialism, which stained the lands of China and Russia with blood! The Gulf War! The Vietnam War! Even at this very moment, the evil warlords of Africa are constantly emerging, squeezing the people dry!
“Oh, oh…! Oh, no!!!! This tragedy must not happen!”
The horrific atrocities humanity has wrought and the tears of civilians massacred began to overlap in my vision! Humans! How can humans be so foolish!
Ugly beasts who cannot live without war!
“World War III will arise from the extreme ideological and racial issues that have resurfaced!”
Just hearing about the war was one thing, but seeing it unfold before my eyes made my heart pound like crazy, as if I was about to go insane! Is this, is this what a war panic attack feels like! —Thud! The sound of a head being smashed, —Splatter! The sound of blood spraying, —Thump! The sound of a corpse falling!
A melody played by the demons of hell!
This place where humans live is hell itself!
“Then I must become a demon of hell!”
—Flash!
These terrible atrocities began to seem unreal. Is this… reality? I couldn’t know for sure. All I could know was that war is a terrible disaster that should never happen.
“Kieeeeeeeeeeeeeeek—!!!!”
Mana twisted with rage churned my brain, and at the same time, boiling hatred painted my vision red. In the reddened world, I ran out to stop the war.
The war had already begun.
It can’t be ended by ordinary means.
So, with my own hands.
“Kill all the infidels.”
I just need to end the war.
—Whoosh!
Using mana to surpass the limits of humanity.
I feel the explosive speed of running through the air.
The torn wind sweeps across my face, and my macho muscles cry out in joy. Runner’s high! The pleasure of running! I reached my destination in an instant!
“Th, th-that bastard over there!!”
“Shit! Get rid of him!”
Bandits emerging from the alleys came into my view. They are my destination. I charged towards them.
A guy in leather armor and a guy in his underwear.
War.
They are the villains of humanity who started the war…!
Hitler, Stalin, and Tojo Hideki are all unnecessary in this world.
Come to think of it, there are exactly three of them.
“You Hitler bastard!”
Without a word, I swung my sword with the same speed as I was running. The surprised guy tried to defend, but my swordsmanship, which had reached its limit, was not something that a mere bandit could block.
“Hu, uh… Hey, hey! Wait a minute! I’m a mercenary!”
“Take off your tattoo before you talk, you Nazi bug!”
—Clang!
I knocked away the sword he clumsily raised with my own, and plunged the blade into his collarbone. I kicked the chest of the guy who was about to scream, and immediately used footwork to purge the next Class A war criminals.
“Shit, run away!”
He tried to run away, but once he was within my range, he couldn’t get out alive. You’ve been killing people as much as you wanted, but now you’re running away from your own death?
There’s no way I could allow that.
“You are Stalin!”
—Slash!
“Gieeeeeeok!!!!”
I slammed the bastard sword down with all my might, cutting the guy in half. He was also a panty man, but that wasn’t the fashion of someone who had reached the pinnacle, but just a pathetic bastard who had jumped out of bed.
With two people sliced down in an instant, the last remaining guy sat down and pissed himself. —Shhh… His underwear getting wet. And tears flowing down at the same time.
“H, hii… Pl, please save m…”
Dare you ask Demon Kim Kat for sympathy?
I burned with the soul of an anti-war activist.
“And you are Tojo Hideki.”
—Thwack!
I thrust the tip of my sword in without any hesitation. Giving mercy to these war criminals is an act of insulting the very foundation of humanity.
—Slash.
When I pulled out the sword I had plunged into his heart, crimson blood poured out. He collapsed, spewing piss, tears, and blood. It was a fitting end for dirty infidel war criminals.
“Haa… Haa…”
My breath burst out.
I killed three, but the war is not over yet.
The war will only end when all the infidels in this land are wiped out. I drank a cup of water from my canteen and searched the body of the leather-armored bandit. The situation was chaotic, so I couldn’t do it in detail, so I just grabbed his wallet and jewelry.
I felt an unbearable joy as I put it in my arms.
This is what war profiteering is all about.
“Ah, it’s very noisy, isn’t it.”
—Thud, thud.
Just then, a huge, monstrous man walked out of the building in front of me. A crazy bastard with a huge axe on his shoulder and a necklace made of human skulls.
His face was covered in Ejaz’s tattoos.
“Have the church guys invaded?”
A strong one.
I could feel it instinctively.
This guy is the real deal.
“Hey you. You killed our kids.”
He yawned and pointed at me.
“I didn’t kill them.”
“What?”
“I didn’t kill them.”
“…”
He silently pulled out his axe.
This fucking!
I couldn’t find a good time to run away! Showing your back to such a strong person is the same as dying! So I couldn’t run away!
Mommy!
I came to my senses! You son of a bitch! What the hell is going on!
Why is the boss popping up here!
“I didn’t kill them, and they were dead here, so I was going to bury them in a sunny place.”
“…Is he out of his mind?”
“It’s their souls that are gone.”
“Crazy bastard.”
—Smolder, smolder.
Black energy began to surge and evaporate from his shoulders. The extremely evil and ominous energy was enough to make anyone cower.
I became insanely afraid.
War and everything else came to my senses.
I could feel my confused mind clearing up.
“I am Zerdas, who has experienced transcendence by upholding the blessing of Ejaz. You. I don’t like the way you look.”
“You look like the ultimate war criminal. You look like shit too.”
“Huh, I’m speechless.”
Just facing him made me feel an enormous power. As he said, he must have received the evil power of a god of evil. The bandit, who introduced himself as Zerdas, strode towards me.
Son of a bitch!
I slowly backed away!
I’ll die if I make a mistake!
I can’t win no matter what I do.
I have to run away no matter what.
I used my extremely sharpened senses to calculate the optimal escape route and timing. There are many paladins nearby, so if I time it right, I can escape!
I pretended to fight, muttering anything that came to mind, and pulled out my sword.
“Are you going to attack?”
“Then wouldn’t I attack?”
“This guy is really ridiculous.”
It was the moment I was about to fake it and run away.
—Flash!
—Thump!
—Thump!
—Thump!
—Thump!
With a roar, dust rose.
“Huh?”
—Whoooo…
From all directions, the Crusaders of the Radiant Light Cross Society were falling like paratroopers! —Koo-oong! They descended from the roof of the building, striking the ground like meteorites!
Five of them!
I’m alive!
“Friend! Leave this infidel to us!”
A familiar black panty man said so!
His nipples covered by a black leather belt were impressive.
“You are my close friend, Archio!”
“That’s right!”
Clang, clang. The Crusaders, already covered in blood, surrounded Zerdas, making creaking noises. They looked like they had no faces with their bizarre helmets, but Zerdas laughed even in the midst of all that, as if he was enjoying something.
“Heuha, heu—hahaha!!”
Indeed, an enormous volume befitting his size!
His laughter echoed loudly!
“I’ll kill you all!”
Finally stopping his laughter, he raised his axe high.
“Behold the true power of Ejaz, you pathetic church bastards!”
—Swoosh!
In an instant, Zerdas swung his axe greatly! It was an incredible speed that didn’t seem like a huge, super-heavy axe weighing at least ten kilos!
A destructive blow that would cut even an ogre in half if it hit!
“Die—! You bug bastards!!!!!”
—Whoosh!
But all the axe cut was empty air.
“…What?!”
His eyes widened.
“Foolish.”
“Infidel.”
“Bastard.”
The five Crusaders simultaneously jumped like monkeys to avoid the attack. The axe drew a meaningless trajectory, and the jumping Crusaders covered Zerdas as he was.
“Death to the infidel.”
“I’ll make you into fertilizer.”
—Slash!
“Cough!”
In an instant, more than five bizarre blades pierced Zerdas’ body! Thwack! Thud! No matter how much power he received from the evil god, the Crusaders were still top-notch assassins blessed by God!
He could never win against five!
“You, you bastards!!!”
Zerdas swung his arm. “Huh?!” But at that moment, his wrist was severed. He attacks once, but we attack five times!
One person could never defeat five.
“I dedicate this victory to the God of Order!”
—Koo-oong!
“Keuhak!”
Zerdas fell with scattered blood, and the Crusaders were completely excited, each grabbing Zerdas’ arms and legs. And his head.
No, no way!
“St, stop it! Let go! Let go! Let go of this!!”
—Flash!
At the same time, they each began to pull Zerdas in five directions! Dismemberment! This was dismemberment! Originally, it was an extremely cruel capital punishment performed with horses or bulls, but the Crusaders performed it with just their strength!
“Euh, euheoheoheoeoeok!!!!!!!”
—Crack!
With a scream bursting out, Zerdas’ limbs were torn off! With only his head left, he cried out miserably like a Daruma doll found in the remote regions of China!
“Geueueueuaeuaaaaaaak—!!!!”
I pointed at him!
“You pathetic bastard! You came out looking cool! I didn’t like the way you looked from the first time I saw you!”
You war criminal infidel!
That is your end!
“Let’s turn this guy into a human flower pot!”
“Woo-oh-oh-oh-oh!!!”
“Long live Ijzermart!!!”
“Punishment to the wicked!”
The Crusaders, who had fallen into extreme madness, began to dance bizarrely like humans in a barbaric state, swinging their torn limbs around. I was instantly terrified by the crazy sight and left the scene as if running away.
They are completely insane!
They are out of their minds…!
Come to think of it, what about Claudia and Winia?
When I went back to where I came from, I saw the paladins swarming around. What’s going on? I thought they were catching a boss, but Winia was there. Still carrying the backpack I had thrown away.
“You fucking darkie! Where did you run off to and now you’re here!”
“S, sorry! Winia. Are you hurt anywhere!”
“…Well, not really. I was fine because I joined the paladins. More than that.”
Winia handed me the backpack and pointed in a direction with her staff.
“Look over there.”
“What’s th… Heok!”
I could see Claudia’s back.
And what was unfolding in front of Claudia was a horde of infidels who were cornered and playing a game of madness among themselves.
“Kkeuaaaa! Hurry! Get over here quickly!”
“Get out of the way! Get out of the way, you fucking bastards!”
“Fight back, you idiots!”
Dozens of infidels, with no escape route left, were rubbing their bodies together to climb over the wall, looking at Claudia with terrified eyes!
Is this World War Z!
—Creep, creep.
Claudia, who had drawn two curved swords, slowly walked towards them. —Flash! At the same time, her hood was taken off and her purple hair fluttered.
Explosive speed!
Claudia, who was shot like a missile, collided with the infidels!
“M… My god!”
Everyone gathered here to watch that!
—Slash, slash, slash!!!
“Kkeuaaaaaak!!!”
“Jeueoheoeoeoeok!!!”
“Booeeeeeik!!!”
The blurred Claudia and the invisible trajectory of the sword began to draw red lines on the bodies of dozens of infidels. Transcendental speed that cannot be followed with the eyes! A sword that lightly passes as if slicing through the air!
And when Claudia’s blurred figure became clear again.
—Slash!
—Pshat!
The infidels were all torn to pieces, and blood and internal organs burst out!
In that short amount of time, she had slaughtered dozens of people as they were!
—Pshoo-shoot!
—Thud!
A terrible sight like the end of male chicks in a grinder!
The upper and lower bodies. And heads and limbs collapsed!
“Euaaaaak!!!
“Kyaaaaak!!!
“Kkeuaak!!”
“Stop! Stop! Save me!”
…It was a hellish pandemonium.
“That sister is doing it all by herself.”
The infidels who were still alive crawled on the ground, calling out for their mothers. There was not a single person who was intact. All of them were screaming while being mutilated, or were dead and silent.
“M, my god…! Claudia!”
Claudia admired the work she had created for a moment.
And then she turned around and looked at us.
“So cool!”
Our Claudia is so cool!
She executed Class A war criminals in one fell swoop!
She walked over and put her hood back on.
“Eung… I was going to kill them all at once, but there were too many, so it didn’t work out well?”
Claudia approached me, putting the curved sword with blood dripping from it back into its sheath.
“Kat, you’re here? Hehe, did you see it? How was it?”
“Claudia Mama is the best, dezaaaaaat!!!”
I hugged Claudia as she was.
