I Became the Heavenly Demon of the Academy

Enforcer (6)

If the authority of the Heretic Questioner was confined to the Holy Land, it could be seen that it was literally near invincibility.

Although the Holy State takes the form of a theocracy with a pope as its monarch.

The basic structure, like the empire, took the form of feudalism, in which nobles and bishops each ruled their fiefdoms.

For this reason, to the nobles in the Holy Land, the visit of the Heretic Questioner was no different than a thunderbolt from the sky.

No matter how high their prestige, they could not stop them even if they overthrew the territory if they decided to act under the direct control of the Pope.

However, that was limited to the Holy Land.

In the Empire, the situation was completely different. Of course, the Empire also made an agreement with the Holy Land to tolerate the activities of the Heretic Questioner, and gave them some authority.

Like in the Holy Land, the Heretic Questioner couldn’t freely investigate.

In particular, if the opponent was a high-ranking aristocrat, the Heretic Questioner’s activities were only possible ‘within their permission’.

So within the Empire, the Heretic Questioner hears and investigates when nobles say ‘there is something in our territory’.

In most cases, he worked more like a detective than a Heretic Questioner.

“Why did the Heretic Questioner of the Holy Kingdom visit Baldeck?”

As if revealing the status of a wealthy manor, Count Baldeck calmly asked in the splendid reception room.

“I received a report that demonic energy was detected in this area. I came here just in case, could you give me permission to investigate?”

With a dignified posture, Chloe raised her teacup with a bright smile.

“Heh heh, if that’s the case, I’ll be willing to cooperate. Shall we start with this city?”

From Chloe’s point of view, who was used to dealing with nobles, the Count’s intentions were clearly visible. Don’t even dream of investigating the inside of the mansion. Go for a quick look around the city. I guess that’s what it means.

“Yes, of course. Excuse me, but could you give me a place to stay in the mansion? For a covert investigation, finding an accommodation outside is a bit burdensome.”

For Chloe, it was no different than betting a game.

“That’s natural. I already prepared it beforehand. You can use the annex.”

As expected of an aged aristocrat who survived numerous dark struggles, he was not formidable. If they had given me a place to stay in this mansion, I would have been able to look around quietly, pretending it was a mistake. Thinking it was not easy, Chloe nodded.

“thank you. God bless Lord Baldeck.”

“God bless you. When you go outside, someone will be waiting to guide you.”

“yes. Enough then.”

Chloe had a good intuition by nature. The priests saw Chloe’s ability and described it as a miracle from God.

It was as if intuition close to wisdom and excellent ingenuity eventually led Chloe to the path of the Heretic Questioner.

And Chloe’s intuition was clearly screaming.

‘There is something in the mansion. This made it rather clear.’

The bright smile she had in front of Count Waldeck was nowhere to be seen, and Chloe, whose expression had changed to a cool, expressionless expression that looked like she was about to be cut by a knife, slowly began to make a plan in her head.

* * *

hard.

Count Baldeck knocked on the desk and pondered.

After entering the annex, Chloe did not go out of the city, but only heard reports that she was walking slowly around the mansion. I tried to follow him in a suspicious mood, but I didn’t find anything unusual.

‘That’s strange…’

From Count Waldeck’s point of view, Chloe was certain of something. That there must be something in this mansion. Otherwise, the actions Chloe is showing now cannot be explained.

“Are you worried?”

An attendant quietly approached Count Baldeck, who was resting his chin on his back.

“It was clear that he knew something. I don’t know what that is.”

“If His Excellency is offended, I will quietly bury the investigator as well as the Heretic Questioner. If you throw it in an abandoned mine, the trash inside will love it.”

“no. There is no need to do so. If the dogs of Seongguk learn of the Heretic Questioner’s disappearance and cling to it like crazy, it’ll be annoying even if it’s me. It wouldn’t change anything just because the Heretic Questioner or something smelled it anyway.”

Count Waldeck shook his head slowly.

Kwaaang!

At that moment, there was a roar that shook the heavens and the earth, and a strong vibration occurred throughout the mansion.

“What’s the fuss?”

“Let’s find out.”

“dismissal! The Heretic Questioner is crazy!”

From noble mtl dot com

Just as the attendant was about to leave the door, a soldier standing guard hurriedly entered and shouted.

“Are you crazy?”

The Count looked at the soldier with sharp eyes.

“The Heretic Questioner suddenly activated a huge Holy Law Formation, and part of the mansion collapsed and pierced the basement! We’re in a confrontation right now, but it’s hard to subdue! Each and every one of our direct investigators is strong enough to use Auras.”

“Something like an investigator from the Holy Land? That doesn’t make sense. I will go out myself.”

Quickly using his sword, Count Valdeck rallied and ran outside.

* * *

“If you get out of the way, there will be no bloodshed.”

Chloe, who was already fully equipped, declared as she looked at the soldiers surrounding her, holding up a huge hammer with nails closely embedded in it.

“Do you dare to do something like this and feel safe! This is an empire! Only the holy kingdom!”

“Yes, I will be fine. You guys are the problem. According to my verdict, the death penalty if you knew and cooperated. Even if you didn’t know and cooperated, it’s the death penalty. If you open the way now, I will make extenuating circumstances.”

As always, Chloe smiled brightly.

“What the hell is this crazy b*tch talking about! Damn, when are the knights coming!”

“I just got in touch, so it will take a little while before the convocation!”

“It’s not enough to run right away, so where are the knights going and what are they doing these days!”

Contrary to Chloe, who still had a cool smile on her face, the guard commander burst into resentment and brushed off the soldiers.

“quiet.”

“Go… Your Excellency!”

The soldiers split apart and Count Baldeck appeared with a lofty attitude.

“What kind of outrageous thing is this? Only the Holy Land’s Heretic Questioner. Did this Baldeck look funny?”

Putting one hand on the sword, Count Valdeck asked coldly as if threatening.

“no. If that was the case, I wouldn’t have bothered to mobilize investigators and secretly lay down the Seongbeopjin. I hit it openly. It was quite difficult to avert His Excellency’s eyes. I even used a lot of holy relics.”

“…I was caught off guard.”

“Yes, you were caught off guard.”

Chloe nodded her head in agreement.

“So what are you saying? Something like the Heretic Questioner from the Holy Land is going to attack me? Are you crazy?”

“I see. No one like the Heretic Inquisitor of the Holy Kingdom would dare to challenge the Great Empire’s Baldeck Empire.”

Chloe continued with a faint laugh.

“Did you do this knowing that?”

“Yes, in the first place, I did not enter the empire as a heretic inquisitor.”

“what…?”

Count Baldeck’s eyes were stained with wonder.

“I will be in charge of Count Waldeck. Investigators, subdue the rest.”

“All right. Good luck, Executor Chloe-sama.”

After the inspectors bowed their heads once, their backs were turned and each drew his weapon and charged at the soldiers.

“Executioner… was it like that? You, it’s the Secret Intelligence Service’s special task force!”

In the middle of the battlefield, where a harsh metal sound resonated, the Count saw Chloe and shouted.

“It’s too late to notice. Do you know how many holy relics were used this time? Even the sacred objects that were used to hide their powers were barely enough to be made after one year of consecration by the priests clinging to one cathedral. In addition, to Seongbeopjin. If this was the Holy Land, you would have heard what the Cardinal said.”

Hearing Count Baldeck’s angry words, Chloe laughed.

“I don’t know the circumstances of the four years…! The emperor can’t do this to me, he can’t do this!”

“Isn’t this necessarily the will of His Majesty the Emperor?”

Chloe tilted her head and said.

“Shut up if you don’t know! decided Who knows what happened here if we bury all of them, including four years, anyway!”

“Hmm… I see. It’s nice that His Excellency is easy to understand. I’m comfortable with that too. Did everything from now on happen by accident?”

It seems like he knew that from the start. Chloe spun her mace.

“How dare you be a puppet of the Pope!”

Count Baldeck growled and unexpectedly extended his sword.

“You also have a quick temper.”

Stepping back in an instant, Chloe grabbed the rosario from her neck with her other hand holding the mace and threw it at Count Valdeck.

A huge cross-shield composed of light appeared from the sky above where Rosario had fallen and fell rapidly with the momentum to crush Count Valdeck.

“Something like this!”

Cagaga River!

Count Valdeck roared and swelled his muscles, then loaded his sword with an aura and split the shield of light in half.

“With this, another holy relic has disappeared.”

You talk like you’re sorry

bang!

As the Count raised his sword into the sky, Chloe rushed and swung her mace.

“No way!”

The mace wrapped in pure white light and the sword imbued with blue sword collided, continuously releasing shockwaves of fierce battle in all directions.

“That’s about it.”

“what?”

At the end of a workshop that lasted for a while.

Chloe nodded, and at the same time, the mace climbed up the sword like a snake and lodged itself in Count Valdeck’s abdomen.

An intuition close to foreknowledge was a law that exerted even more power in a momentary combat situation like this. From Chloe’s point of view, Count Valdeck’s movements had already been grasped.

“Gagging!”

Count Baldeck, who took five steps back, coughed up blood.

“It was shallow. Is it the armor?”

“dare…! I can’t stand it any longer! I won’t rip that cheeky mouth!”

“Wouldn’t it be better to surrender meekly? Then you will die gracefully.”

Ignoring Chloe’s words urging her to surrender while turning her mace in a calm tone, Count Valdeck pulled out a round pill from her bosom.

“Is that a medicine?”

Glaring at Chloe, who muttered that she had something else to investigate, Count Valdeck immediately swallowed the pill.

“This is… dangerous. It would be dangerous for His Excellency to eat something like that, right?”

“It’s none of your business!”

Count Baldeck’s body began to explode with energy.

Kwaaang-!

The muscles of the whole body wriggled as if about to explode, and thrust out the sword containing a vast experience.

The earth, gleaming with intense sword light, dug deep in a straight line.

“That’s amazing…”

Chloe shook her head once, saying it wouldn’t be easy, and gathered more and more white energy into her mace.

“This is just the beginning! look! This is the strength I received from Him!”

Count Baldeck raised his sword in a neutral position and looked straight ahead with his eyes wide open.

“…?”

And nothing happened.

“???”

Count Baldeck’s eyes were stained with bewilderment, and at the same time Chloe’s eyes were dumbfounded.

You hold the form as you want and nothing happens. Even for Chloe, it was embarrassing.

“Um… Count?”

“Unbelievable? Couldn’t it be like this?”

The Count muttered something nervously to himself after a fight.

“Aren’t you kidding me?”

Chloe looked at Count Valdeck with a serious expression without a smile and asked.

“I can’t believe it… it can’t be.”

The moment Count Waldeck strongly denied a possibility that emerged from within.

“Your guess will be correct.”

A man’s voice resounded in the sky like a battle of six battles.

Kwaaang!

As Carol landed in the air with a harsh shockwave, she grabbed Count Valdeck’s head and slammed him to the ground.

As Count Baldeck was slammed to the ground, cracks sprang in all directions, and a huge amount of dust was scattered.

“Keo-eo-eok!”

Count Valdeck did not die because of Carol’s strength control and a strong body that had reached the state, but he continued to gurgling as blood fountains spewed from his mouth.

“It looks like you made a contract with the demons. I killed the demons in the abandoned mine.”

Leaving behind the count who had fallen on the floor, Carol patted her hands and said,

“That… it can’t be. Do not lie!”

“Not only the demons, but everything in the mine was dealt with. Secret Service agents are already behind the scenes. Your evil deed cannot be denied.”

“How the hell…?”

Count Baldeck’s face was stained with astonishment.

“Did you sacrifice so many people like your toys for the sake of such petty power?”

cringe

The Count clenched his teeth and glared at Carol.

“What the hell do you know about talking so much…!”

“I don’t want to know, nor do I need to understand your miserable situation. Apparently there are victims under the mansion too.”

Carol, who widened her senses and sensed the bottom of the mansion destroyed by Seongbeopjin, gazed at the Count with cold eyes.

“Anyway, if the Knights come, you guys won’t be able to get out of here easily either! This is Baldeck! It is my territory!”

As if screaming, Count Baldeck shouted.

“Go… Your Excellency! It’s a big deal!”

Perhaps from outside the mansion, a soldier gasped for breath and approached.

“what…?”

“This is the current situation! The royal army has already entered the city!”

“The emperor is absolutely…! Oh no, that’s how it happened. I won’t kill you guys!”

Count Baldeck jumped up from his seat and triggered his latent power.

The medicine he swallowed earlier and the enormous energy generated when Count Valdeck triggered his last remaining potential were mixed, creating a tremendous amplification effect.

“It’s insignificant.”

flash—

The place where the dark black light that seems to blind one’s eyes has passed.

A solid whitish line formed around Count Valdeck’s neck.

“How could this… happen…”

Took.

Unable to close his eyes to the end, Count Baldeck’s head, which had risen to the ground, fell bluntly to the ground.

When the count died, soldiers everywhere gave up their resistance and laid down their weapons with a clatter.

“Ah… Unfortunately, His Excellency passed away ‘accidentally’. Please reflect on yourself when you go to hell.”

Chloe sighed and crossed herself in front of the Count’s corpse.

clap – clap –

After waiting for a while, the Royal Guard, whom Carol had called in advance, surrounded the Baldeck Mansion and entered the depths.

“This is Lieutenant Colonel Manhert of the Florence Dragoons Regiment of the Royal Guard. Executor Carol. Is that correct?”

The man in the front got off his horse, took off his helmet, and greeted Carol.

“you’re right. You came sooner than expected.”

“There was a special order from His Majesty. I was waiting in advance. Count Waldeck… is dead.”

Looking at Chloe, who was still praying with her hands folded neatly in front of Count Waldeck’s head, Manhert sighed.

“Yes, that’s how it happened.”

“You worked hard. From now on, we will take control.”

“I’ll ask you for the next day then.”

“All right. Please leave it to me.”

Carol turned her back without hesitation as she watched the Royal Guards who had surrounded the mansion enter one after another with moderation.
