Chapter 223 – The Pope Felt Skeptical
“Here, this is my quarter! It’s my estate that I made, you bastard!”
“No, why is this your area…”
“Is the lion talking back?”
I lowered my sword as I saw Astarothe beating Purson with his words.
I didn’t know what kind of relationship Astarothe and Purson had, but looking at the situation, it seemed like the war was over.
I was curious about their relationship, but it was Marian’s side that mattered now.
Just as Camara was about to land on Astarote’s territory, I hurriedly ran towards Marian.
“Marian!”
“Hero, something is strange.”
Marianne got off Camara’s back and said that to me.
Judging by the puzzled expression on her face, it seemed that something was wrong, as I expected.
“I don’t know why, but I can’t feel the divine power.”
“Also.”
I nodded with a serious expression at Marian’s words to her.
The fact that she can’t use her divine power her means that something is wrong with the goddess or Lina.
“It is a misunderstanding. I’m to protect you…”
“Damn it, are you attacking my estate to protect me?”
“I was attacking Astaroth, I had no intention of attacking you.”
I approached Astarothe, who looked at Purson, who was desperately making excuses, with kind eyes.
As I approached, I saw Astarothe looking at me with a bright smile as if she had never done that.
“Baby, don’t worry. I’ll take care of this bastard.”
“Astarote, you, really…”
It seemed that Purson was hurt by Astarothe’s completely different attitude from how he treated him, but it wasn’t my concern.
“Where is the entrance to the continent?”
Concerned about Lina, I asked Astarothe who was clinging to my arm her before I knew it.
It was because there was no need to delay as long as the affairs of Astarote’s territory were completed.
“Yes? It’s in the palace, why? Are you going to leave already?”
Perhaps surprised by my question, Astarothe stared at me and asked.
“I have urgent business to deal with. Ask for guidance.”
“Uh… No. Don’t go. Stay with me huh? Is the Demon Realm also worth living?”
“It is impossible.”
“Then, I’ll go with you.”
I let out a light sigh as I watched Asta Rotte squirm her like a child.
It was because I wondered if it was right to fall like this just for one night, after talking about witches in the demon realm.
“Astarothe.”
In addition, Purson looked pitiful as he looked at Astarothe with trembling eyes as if she had suffered a wound.
‘It’s a real fancy party.’
Naturally, Astarothe had to remain in her Pandemonium her.
No, it was Genoa’s strategy her that not only she but also Lilith remain in the Pandemonium to keep other Pandemonium Lords in check.
It wasn’t because she forcibly left Lilith behind, saying she didn’t want to stay in Pan’s estate.
“Of course you know that’s not possible…”
“It’s possible.”
However, it was none other than Genoa who planned the operation that cut me off.
“Uh?”
“Astarothe-nim, let’s go to the continent with us.”
I looked at Genoa, who suddenly changed her words, and put on a bewildered expression.
But Genoa’s eyes his were shining as if he was plotting something nefarious, and I’ve never seen Genoa fail to show such an eye.
“Yes? Can I really go? So, where is it?”
When Genoa took his side of him, Astarothe asked in an excited voice.
Even though she said she would follow me, she seemed to know at least how things were going right away.
At Astarothe’s question, Genoa’s gaze her naturally turned to Purson.
“Uh… Me?”
As she looked at herself from Genoa to Astarothe, Pursson pointed at herself with her trembling face and asked.
“Can you keep me here, Purson?”
Quickly grasping Genoa’s intentions her, Astarotte said that with her strange smile toward Purson.
Even though it was an obvious trick, Purson couldn’t hide his embarrassment when he saw Astarothe like that.
It didn’t make sense to entrust the defense of the territory to an invader who had invaded it according to common sense, but something that didn’t make sense was actually happening right in front of my eyes.
“You are strong. Wouldn’t the lords of other nearby territories be able to do something about it?”
“Ugh. It is, but it is.”
“If Purson protects our territory, I think my heart will be at ease…?”
“Bird, think about it.”
“At times like this, you have to make a decision with passion, and I will repay you with passion.”
“Joe, good!”
I looked at the blue hands nodding my head in excitement and covered his face with both of his hands.
It was because watching in real time what happens when a man’s brain is dominated by his cock his made me feel ashamed.
“Then, let’s organize this here and head to the ecliptic, right?”
Knowing that the situation was roughly finished, Genoa said that to me.
Although I received a very slight mental shock, I nodded my head at Genoa’s words to her.

“What is it?”
It was quite by chance that Pope Antonio learned of the commotion at the entrance to the church.
Naturally, the place where the pope stayed was quite far from the entrance of the church, and if it had been originally, Antonio would not have been properly reported about the disturbance in front of the church.
However, that day, Antonio had a schedule to meet with the members of the Order, and Antonio, who was heading outside, could not help but be interested in seeing the paladins rushing by.
“There seems to be some commotion at the entrance.”
“Turmoil?”
One of the attendant priests responded to Antonio, but a huge fire spirit above the church’s entrance started rampaging.
Even in the long history of the Guyana Church, the church itself has never been attacked from outside.
Of course, light fuss didn’t make sense, and if it was such a fuss, the Paladins wouldn’t have run so fast that their soles were sweaty.
“I guess I should go.”
“It is dangerous. His Holiness the Pope.”
Antonio wanted to check the situation himself, but the priests accompanying him were busy stopping such a pope right away.
Although the prestige of the Pope of Guyana was not as great as before, it was because the Pope was still the most important figure of the church.
“Are you guys unreliable knights of the Order?”
Antonio threw a question to the priests who were stopping him.
Antonio also did not believe in the Order of the Holy Order.
But by asking that question, the acolytes had no choice but to answer, and Antonio used him to achieve what he wanted.
“What is this… ?”
Antonio, who went to the entrance of the church like that, couldn’t shut his mouth in absurdity.
It was not enough that the numerous paladins of the church were confronting only three characters, and they were being pushed unilaterally.
No, to be precise, one of them was wounded, and the other was just taking care of the wounded and providing some support.
So, it was a beautiful female swordsman who was dealing with the church paladins alone, and even that, she seemed to have circumstances in her hands.
“Wounded! There are wounded. We just want priests who can heal!”
“Shut up! Do you dare to attack the Order and be safe?”
Her female swordsman, who had easily defeated one of her order’s paladins, shouted at her knights glaring at her, while her old man hiding behind her knights was spitting her disgust at her. .
‘Marcius. You pitiful fellow.’
Antonio clicked his tongue as he looked at Marcius, who had the position of overseeing the Order’s armed forces.
No matter how good the female swordsman wielding the sword was, she was alone and there were several Paladins in the Order.
However, even at a glance, most of the many paladins were engrossed in protecting Marcius, and the fact that the number of knights dealing with female swordsmen was infinitely small was aggravating the situation.
“Damn it! Someone needs to step in and stop that bitch!”
Despite the excessive protection of the Paladins, Marcius screamed and screamed.
Anyone who saw it seemed to be frightened by the female prosecutor, and even the priests who accompanied Pope Antonio seemed to feel ashamed.
“I’ll step out.”
“School, His Holiness the Pope.”
Marcius, who finally found Antonio, said in a surprised voice, but the pope started walking toward the female prosecutor with a calm expression.
The attendant priests tried to stop it, but it was already too late.
Antonio let out a wry smile as he looked at the female swordsman looking at him with ferocious eyes.
I don’t know the exact circumstances, but they seem to have come to ask for help.
Pope Antonio couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of skepticism at the appearance of the church’s paladins putting pressure on those in need.
