Chapter 184 – Episode 184 Demon King Army VS Sacred Church Nation: Saint Woman Kidnapping Operation (3)
“Did you have a peaceful day?”
At the Bishop of Beyond’s words, the saintess nodded her head.
“Thanks. I rested well enough to be too much.”
“I’m glad. I was wondering if the members of our castle hadn’t made a mistake.”
“Are you okay. But I found something interesting.”
“Are you saying something fun?”
“Captain.”
At the saintess’ words, the knight commander pulled out a bunch of documents.
It was a document about the income and taxes of the Beyond Castle, and how much was paid to the main school.
There were also documents about the bribes Bishop Beyond received and the favors he accepted.
It was all data about how much money was siphoned off.
Not only that, but the numerous evil deeds he committed in Beyond Castle were all written down.
A petition from the bereaved families of those he killed.
The accusation of the village girls he committed.
There is even a list of forcibly seized land and the top.
“This is the ledger for the corruption that our bishop has caused in this castle.”
“What do you mean? Corruption!”
“Are you going to deny it? Do you really think I came here without knowing?”
“Saintess! I have always prayed faithfully for God…”
“It’s too extravagant to say that.”
“Saintess! It’s difficult if you do this. If the Pope knows this…”
“Is it so. In peacetime, the pope’s authority would have been higher. But Bishop Beyond, don’t you think the saintess who heard the revelation from God looks funny?”
“…”
The saint lamented the secular behavior of the church after the current pope came to power.
She thought that the reason God was angry was because the church was rotting. She believed that this was the reason why He said that He would destroy humans and create a new human race.
What she gave her was a warning.
A warning to correct the denomination and increase the faithful.
So she started the pilgrimage.
She wants to raise true faith and break the bad habits that run inside the church.
Although the current pope firmly holds his authority with overwhelming divine power, even the pope could not dare to touch the saintess who had received a revelation from God.
So I thought this pilgrimage was an opportunity.
A chance to set the Order and Continent right.
“Bishop Beyond, I am arresting you for bribery and abuse of the priesthood, exploitation and rape, and land plundering. As a bishop, I will strip you of all your powers and put you in custody.”
“Saintess! You can’t do this! It’s all framed! Committed by people who don’t know anything…”
“Be quiet! Just because I don’t have eyes doesn’t mean I can’t see anything. Bishop Beyond.”
The bishop’s face went pale.
The saintess still spoke in a cold voice.
“The sin of abusing and disrespecting the authority given by God the Mother and God the Father is never light. Realize your sins as you are nailed to a peg and burned.”
“Yes, do you know what you are doing! Infighting ahead of the battle with the demon king army!”
“It’s not mine. It’s garbage cleaning to raise solidarity.”
“Aagh! This dog-like self-interest! How much money I gave for the Order!”
The saintess did not listen.
“The new bishop will be elected through a new vote. Do not worry. And until then, we will just have to operate the current system.”
She was the one who even planned the appointment of the next bishop.
It was all planned before setting off on the pilgrimage.
There was no obstruction to work.
Just one thing I’m worried about.
“By the way, Captain.”
“Yes, saintess.”
“Did something happen?”
“Yes. Nothing happened. Just like yesterday, demonic energy is overflowing…”
She was the Magi she felt from the beginning of her pilgrimage.
The unusual energy made the saintess feel uneasy.
Wasn’t she trying to target her on her pilgrimage?
Was it a hasty decision to part with her hero?
‘Still, it was something I had to do.’
If he fought the Demon King’s army in this state, defeat would have been inevitable.
“Did the demon king really come nearby?”
“I don’t think so.”
“I am anxious.”
“Don’t worry. Even if the Demon King comes, we will protect you.”
“Thank you. Captain.”
The saintess raised a prayer of blessing for the knights.
“We’re leaving right away. We must go to the next castle quickly.”
“Yes. All right.”
The pilgrimage procession that executed the Bishop of Beyond headed for the next destination.
“Quaaaaagh!!!”
In the plaza of Beyond Castle, only the screams of the bishop who had been tied to the stake with wooden pegs echoed.
***
Four days have passed since then.
Upon arriving at Lepin Castle, the saintess and her party scrambled to uncover the corruption there.
The Bishop of Le Pen Castle trembled with fear at the news that the corruption committed by Bishop Beyond was revealed to her Saint and executed.
All kinds of data were burned and officials were mysteriously committed suicide.
“It is a foolish idea. Bishop.”
Because she couldn’t see, she couldn’t avoid the eyes of the saintess who could see more.
Bishop Lepin, who was exposed for corruption, was also immediately executed.
Once a storm hit Lepin Castle, and the sun went down.
“Hmm, I’m sleepy.”
“Isn’t it just me?”
The knights guarding the entrance of her saintess yawned profusely.
Their mouth-watering yawns became more and more frequent, as if they had contracted an infectious disease.
“Ah… What… That’s strange…”
The Templar saw soldiers standing guard beside them.
They had already started to doze off with their heads leaning against the window.
No, I fell asleep.
“Who is this madman sleeping while standing guard…”
Although the knight shook the soldier’s shoulder.
Thud.
He just fell to the floor and couldn’t get up.
“What is this… ?”
It was embarrassing.
It was strange.
Sleeping so deeply…
“What smell is this… ?”
A sweet scent stung her nose.
Just smelling it made his face red, his heart pounding, and his lower legs getting bigger.
The pants of the Holy Knights, who kept chastity and cut off relations with women, set up a large tent.
“No way…”
Consciousness goes away.
A terrible soma grabbed his wrist.
It was only then that the knights realized that the sleeping soldier’s lower legs were soaking his pants.
“Succubus…”
However, his words did not carry on to the end.
Thud.
He too met the same fate as the soldiers standing guard.
“It holds up pretty well. Are you a knight?”
Yulia, who emerged from the darkness, smiled at the fallen soldier.
“It was a good strategy. Ariana.”
One more person appeared following Yulia.
It was Ariana, a half-vampire who asked to set a trap and wait in Lepin Castle.
They arrive before the saintess arrives at Lepin Castle and set up a huge magic circle.
That’s sleep magic.
Those who are asleep will now be dreaming of the ultimate pleasure.
Their goal is not to fight, but to kidnap the saintess.
There was no reason to see blood.
Only fuss arises.
Julia passed her fallen knights and headed for the saintess’ room.
Even the captain of the knights guarding the door of the saintess fell down with a tent erected in her pants.
Even the leader of the Knights couldn’t escape Yulia’s power.
“At this rate, even the saintess would have fallen asleep.”
Julia was confident in her own skills.
Will never fail…
“You are here.”
When she opened the door, the saintess with her eyes closed sat on her bed, waiting for them.
“Uh, huh?”
A confused Ariana voice.
Yulia shut her mouth.
“This… I didn’t expect it.”
“It was a mistake to think that I, who is blessed by God, would fall prey to the devil’s skill.”
“Ha, that’s bothering me. Be careful around Ariana.”
“Yes.”
“Don’t worry. I have no intention of fighting you yet.”
“What?”
The saintess spread her arms.
“I didn’t feel alive. You didn’t come to kill me, did you? He must have come to kidnap me.”
“…”
“Is this an order from the Demon King?”
Julia did not respond.
She was only looking at why her saintess hadn’t fallen asleep yet.
‘Strong divine power…’
God’s blessing was blocking Yulia’s sleep magic.
At this rate, it was next to impossible to make her sleep peacefully.
‘Sheesh.’
“You have two options. Either I will purify you and exterminate you, or if that’s not the case, surrender here and give up your resistance.”
“It’s cheeky. How dare you purify me, the Demon King’s secretary.”
“You will not be purified. But will the half-vampire in the back be different?”
“What?”
“He was originally human. And now, my memories and concepts are distorted and I am just following the demon king.”
“You can’t… ?”
“That’s right. I’m not talking to you, I’m talking to Ariana in the back.”
Julia clicked her tongue.
I thought we arrived early and set a trap.
‘Did you know.’
But how?
Even a saint wouldn’t have the ability to foresee the future.
“I can see a lot. Succubus Julia. I know you’ve met several saints while serving the Demon King for a long time. You are simpler than you think.”
Did she read her own past?
It was an out-of-standard ability.
I had heard that this saintess was on a different level from the other saints, so I knew…
“Ha, that’s bothering me. Ariana.”
“Yes, Yulia-sama.”
“Run away first. I guess now is the time to step back.”
“All right.”
Just as Ariana was about to disappear into the shadows.
“I can’t go.”
A glowing magic circle bound Ariana.
“Kyaaaaa!!!”
“Ariana!”
“Yu, Julia-sama!!!”
The magic created by the holy woman’s divine power unfolded, and Yulia’s sleep magic began to dissolve. The knight commander, who had fallen asleep, woke up.
“Eh, what is this…”
“Shit.”
If her knights wake up like this, it will be difficult for her to survive, let alone Ariana.
This is the enemy’s base.
I took the risk to kidnap the saintess.
“Ariana, I’ll be back to get you soon.”
“Yu, Julia-sama…”
“Hold on a little longer.”
“I’ll wait…”
Julia disappeared into the darkness, biting her lip at the thought of losing her Ariana through her own mistake.
“… There is no loyalty. Demons are a problem because of this. Isn’t it? Miss Ariana?”
“Shut up. The Demon King will save you.”
“Do not worry. God will forgive. Even if you went astray for a while, it is Mother God who can forgive even the devil.”
“Don’t be ridiculous.”
“I will show you.”
The saintess put her hands together.
Her bright light shimmered in her hand, and the power that had begun in her reached her Ariana.
“Kyaaaaa!!!”
As the huge light hit Ariana, the long, vertically slit pupils gradually returned.
The pale skin started to come back to life.
The fangs that had grown sharp became increasingly blunt.
Ariana, who was turned into a half-vampire by the demon king, has returned to her original human form.
This was the saintess’ power.
But she, too, was not perfect.
The golden color of her hair became more radiant.
Her lightening of her hair meant that she, too, was getting closer to God.
This was the price of using the power of God.
“Haha.”
However, saving someone who was engulfed in darkness was a burden even for the saintess.
“Saintess, are you okay?”
“Okay, it’s okay. Haha.”
Grasping her head, she stood her ground, supported by her trembling hands.
“As much as I fell from the hero, they fell from the demon king. This is your chance. An opportunity to weaken the power of the Demon King.”
The saintess’ eyes met Ariana, who was taken aback by the sudden change.
“Hey, what is this… Me, I’m sure the dungeon…”
“Are you awake?”
“Everyone, who are you… ? I’m definitely going through the dungeon with Favre…”
“I am a saint of the Holy Church. Until recently, you were brainwashed by the demon king and lived as a demon. God forgave you for going astray for a while and held you back in your mother’s arms.”
Ariana’s body trembled at the saintess’ words.
What did you think of?
Horror and fear settled on her face as she needed to settle down.
“Well, then that’s not a dream… Hey?”
“Yes. I’m not sure what happened to you…”
“Oh, no. No. It can’t be. I, I couldn’t have killed Favre… There, fawning over the demon king and making people… No. Uh, that can’t be… That’s a lie! Tell me lies please…”
Ariana, who was screaming, rolled her eyes and passed out.
“You seem to be having a hard time.”
“Shall I execute him?”
“No. Are you okay. Now this person is back to normal.”
“But he is a contaminated human being.”
“Are you okay. I can tell. All the contaminants that messed up this man’s head are gone.”
“All right.”
The knight commander bowed his head.
“Wake up the soldiers. And let this one rest. He is a valuable person who will give us information about the Demon King’s army.”
“All right.”
The knight commander bowed his head.
Seeing his greeting, the saintess clenched her fists.
‘Demon King, your arrogance will eventually kill yourself.’
Can win.
There is a possibility.
***
“Oh, Maou-nim…”
Frey, watching Ariana’s transformation through the shadows, looked at me.
“Is this okay? That’s clear…”
“It was purified.”
It’s interesting.
To be able to purify the human I corrupted again.
I wonder if this is the power of God.
‘The resolution is amazing.’
I liked the saintess even more.
“Give me an order and I’ll kill you.”
“It’s okay.”
“But if Ariana divulges her insider information, the other executives are also at risk.”
“Frey.”
“Huh?”
“Look closely at the saintess’ hair.”
Her hair was shining golden.
“Why is that?”
“It is proof that we are getting closer to God. It means you’ve already spent a lot of energy on purifying one Ariana.”
“…”
“There is no double cleansing. And.”
“And?”
“It doesn’t matter if that bitch purifies my officers.”
If I touch it, it will return to normal.
It was the same with the now purified Ariana.
Those who fell once fall again.
It was unexpected for me that a corrupted person could be purified, but once it happened, there is no second time.
“Tell Amy. When you meet Ariana, ask her to baptize you again.”
“Okay.”
It was interesting.
That’s why I liked the saintess even more.
“I can’t wait to see you cry at my feet.”
My mouth watered.
