Chapter 301 – 301. Return of the Wraith (3)
===========================
2nd head priest,
Cortados Liberia.
The elf who had the cold beauty as if she had just pulled out a frozen ice field in her severe cold was definitely Corte, who was called the reincarnation of the first priest by her priests.
One veil at a time,
Gradually… It started peeling little by little.
How was it possible to raid the office of Maherit Palace, where only the head of the priesthood and those authorized by the head of the priesthood can enter?
As the identity of the assailant was revealed, the reason was also revealed.
“It was a good decision. Ardena.”
Corte said.
If the blonde high elf warrior hadn’t personally stepped forward and stopped it,
This is because the violent wave created by the explosion aura would have killed all living things except for Ardena.
“Why did you change!”
“No, I haven’t changed. Because of being the same race… , I’ve never felt attachment due to a sense of kinship.”
Corte was the priest,
Unlike the first priest and Ileina, she had no affection for her people.
It was also for this reason that he rejected everyone who approached him and treated him mercilessly.
“I only….”
As if trying to reveal something
Corte spoke cautiously, but after sneaking a glance at Ardena, she shut her mouth again.
Corté’s cold gaze wavered slightly at the sight of Ardena looking at her with astonished eyes, as if there was some reason she couldn’t reveal.
“Do you still think I am the reincarnation of the first priest, Ardena?”
Corte asked.
Then, looking away for a moment,
He headed towards Elena, who was being escorted by the court knights.
“Then what happened to that little boy? The old priests must have said that the trembling little boy was a reincarnated reincarnation after I died. Then, am I just an empty shell with an empty soul?”
The second high priest, who was resurrected from the dead, thoroughly denied the existence of a ‘high priest’, which could be said to be a divine realm for elves.
Reincarnation through reincarnation is false,
It is nothing more than a scam created by old priests to protect their vested interests.
The lotus flower of lies that bloomed on the mud of lies, full of contradictions filled with all sorts of filth, must be the present country of the Elves of Liberia.
“Did you turn around because you were denied your existence?”
“No, I lived a life that started with lies and ran on a road made of lies… It has absolutely nothing to do with my current plans. I just feel sorry for you who are still living in lies.”
“…….”
At Corte’s accusation of her inconsistency, Ardena kept her silence.
Is it because I don’t want to discuss it anymore?
Perhaps she had concluded that it was futile to continue talking.
Seeing Ardena still maintaining her cool judgment, Corte raised the hilt of her whip and slowly unleashed her explosive power.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa.
A whip that gathers the power of an explosion.
This was the reason why the elven knights, who were even slightly wounded by the blow of the whip, died without even a ounce of resistance.
“Can you aim the point of your sword at the priest you served in the past, the invincible knight?”
Corte asked.
Ardenna to him,
“Before being a warrior commander who serves the priest, he is a knight who protects his compatriots. Even if I have to bear the disgrace of pointing my sword at the high priest for the rest of my life, I cannot reap the oath to protect my compatriots… Sorry.”
Ardena’s resolute resolve brought her bewilderment to Corte’s eyes, albeit weakly.
If she is, obviously
I thought she only showed hesitation, undecided on either side.
She showed an affirmation and conformity to her self-determined standard of correctness, whether she was influenced by someone or not. She is infinitely righteous, but at the same time a little shameless… It was justice with docility.
“Likewise… , You cannot serve a demon-tainted being as the head priest.”
Ardena was already convinced.
The 2nd priest who was resurrected from the dead,
It is clear that she possesses one of the six demon lord powers, including the heat wave power.
It was only a guess based on her intuition, so it was somewhat inaccurate, but Ardena was already aware of the presence in front of her as an enemy.
“Why is the second priest… !”
“He must have died from a mysterious cause!”
“Is it some kind of magic…. No, it’s too much the same to be true.”
The Court Knights are all armed groups that served not only the first priest, but also the second priest.
That is why they
She learned that the blue-haired elf beauty that appeared in front of her was no lie.
It was unclear how they were resurrected or why they were enmity towards them, but no one doubted the existence of Corte dos Liberia.
“Don’t be agitated! All knights unite and defend the priest!”
The knights who added to the confusion at Ardena’s command nodded her head while shaking her shoulders.
With a stern expression,
Raising a sharp sword, he aimed at the former priest.
“Now the Demon King Slayer is coming this way. It must have been drawn to you, Ardena.”
One eye covered,
The elven woman with Chuck’s Eyes raised the hilt of her whip and spoke to Ardena.
Demon King Slayer… Ardena’s eyes shook for a moment at Corte’s words that the Restoration Gilead was coming to Maherit’s palace.
“There is no chance of winning against you and the Demon King Slayer, so I have to step back. I have no regrets because I have already achieved my goal.”
Ardena standing in the foreground,
Glancing at Kalen, who was commanding the spirit forces from the side, Corte glanced at the silver-haired little priest surrounded by elven knights for the last time.
“Really… Have you become the Demon King?”
To Ardena’s question,
Corté nodded his head, showing no signs of hiding.
“Demon King of Explosives. Now I am the Demon King of Explosives, Corte dos Liberia. I am no longer your countryman, and you have become enemies. The demon king, who is called the king of ten thousand horses, must be the mortal enemy of the elves.”
To Ardena,
To the countless elves who stared at her with her trembling gaze, she proudly revealed that she had become one of the six demon lords.
“There is only one reason why I came back, it is revenge against those who forced only a certain future while putting forward the false cause of reincarnation of the first priest.”
The reincarnation of the first priest,
Revenge on those who turned an innocent victim into a puppet worthy of a comical comedy for their power.
I made a contract with the demon king for that,
In addition, he killed the demon king who made a contract to achieve it.
“This is a declaration of war to the old priests who have built towers of power on vanity and lies. I will definitely destroy that tower no matter what.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Corté swung his arms wide and created a wave created by the power of an explosive.
A curtain of shadows rising wildly.
As if a heavy orb had been dropped on black paint, the curtain popped up.
“Corte!!”
Ardena swung her holy sword loudly as she put the name of the 2nd Priestess in her mouth in a furious voice.
But didn’t see
Corte, who had an intuition that the demon lord slayer was coming, felt disadvantaged and suddenly disappeared from the space he was standing in after achieving his predetermined goal.
“Chief!”
Ardena, who raised her head and confirmed that Corte’s presence was rapidly moving away,
She hastily turned her back to Ileina.
Did she get a mental shock from the slaughter that occurred in front of her eyes, or was there any injuries?
With an expression of worry and concern,
She usually gets along like her nemesis, but like Alone, Ardena thought of Ilayna as her sister, so she put everything aside and looked after her safety.
“Ah, Ardena….”
While watching her belatedly arriving healers treat her seriously injured maid, Reina, her shoulders trembled and she raised her head to meet Ardena’s gaze.
With eyes filled with tears,
Her face was distorted with an expression that seemed to cross between sadness and despair.
“… It’s okay.”
As Ardena spoke softly,
She knelt down and held her silver-haired little god enema in her arms.
Like a mother comforting a child who is afraid of a monster in a nightmare, she held her tightly in her arms and comforted her with a kind voice.
“Two… He used to be the head priest… ? But how, how could… ? I, I… It’s the reincarnation of the 2nd priest, the priests definitely said so… !! Wasn’t that why I became the priest?”
At Reina’s words, muttering as she burst into tears while holding her in her arms,
Ardena also made a confused expression.
The other elven knights did the same.
The reincarnation of the first priest is the second priest,
It was because she thought that the reincarnation of the 2nd priestess would be the current Ileina, the 3rd priestess of hers.
Since the faith and devotion of the elves towards the existence of the priest, who is revered as a divine being, was absolutely absolute, Corte dos Liberia, which appeared as the Demon King of Explosion, was enough to smash the faith of the elves living in the Liberia Peninsula. Did.
“… Ah.”
“Then the priest….”
The same was true of the Court Knights, who served the priest with unwavering respect and respect.
Since the priest who had been loyal until now was not a reincarnation from the first priest,
Since all the teachings of the priests who served the living god were false,
As the basis of faith and faith was shaken, I felt the confusion and fear caused by it.
* * *
Realizing the unfavorability of his situation, the demon king of Cheokan, who quickly left the palace of Maherit, sensed that the red thunderbolt was rapidly pursuing him.
Thunderbolts blazing fiercely,
Each time the blazing output increased, it gradually turned black.
Undoubtedly.
It is the power of depth lightning.
‘You mean you don’t intend to let me go? According to the information the vampire queen gave, the realm of the seven swords… It is said that she became the new demon king by using the power of the heat wave she stole from Savnak as the source.’
It is not an opponent to fight lightly.
Maybe I should risk my life
Even if you do your best, you may not be able to win.
Corte felt awkward as the being called the Demon King of Depth Charge by the six demon lords was chasing him at full speed.
It certainly won’t fall off easily.
At present, there was no way to repel the chase.
Because the lightning that is pursuing….
It was because he was several times faster than himself, who was moving in the shadows.
