I was caught off guard. Eva clicked her tongue out loud. It is the city of the papacy. Of course, he must have prepared a defense against the devil.

I was too focused on other things. Nervousness often leads astray. It was like that this time too.

I only cared about taking responsibility for releasing the elves out of the forest, but I didn’t prepare anything for sure. This is the result of leaving her legs in the frenzy and running without a measure.

In a terrible space where death, anger, screams, sorrow, and pain are mixed, everyone’s eyes are focused on him.

The gaze of the elves boiling, the gaze of the paladins, where despair and a sense of duty intersect, and the gaze of a companion who was greatly embarrassed and showed sympathy. There were things I didn’t want to see.

A situation where we are still figuring out the power situation. The elves had a face-to-face ceremony, but their bodies stiffened because they appeared so unexpectedly, and the paladins clearly felt the energy of the devil, but they were confused because they were human.

That momentary delay acted as a rope that pulled them out of the hole. Eva quickly raised her arm.

A butterfly jumped out of Iva’s hand. A different color from Lillia’s eyes. One color that is not flashy and simple. A bloody butterfly. It fluttered and floated through her air.

The sight of a butterfly waving its wings in the fire was quite mesmerizing. By the time her dazzling appearance drew her attention, the number of butterflies gradually increased. What was once a single butterfly has become a swarm.

The movements of the dancing butterflies were in line with the coins of the hypnotist. A movement that seemed strange and strangely immersive, and red powder flew from its wings. The powder touched my skin and rubbed my nose. The sound they made rang in my ears.

The five senses were stolen. Thinking after the five senses, consciousness after thinking, their thoughts and common sense. They stole it, kneaded it, twisted it, and returned it.

Hypnosis.

An ability unique to the demon of chaos.

Used it to correct the perception of Eva before they pounced on them. There’s no Eva here, and her alarms haven’t been heard. The eyes diverged again, and the conflict between the two groups continued.

“Oh sh*t…”

My breathing became rough, and the headache intensified. Eva grabbed her head, balancing her staggering body.

“Eva!”

“It’s okay… It’s really okay.”

Lilia hugged him around the waist and supported him. Eva shook his hand and said it was fine.

This is the price of overuse of the devil’s power.

It was difficult to control my emotions and I felt tired. This hypnosis can not last long.

Iva quickly headed towards the center of the commotion. Lillia moved after Iva. Even when her feet were busy, her staff had no time to rest. Light like waterdrops welled up from the wand with colorful lines.

[Silver Bell Umbrella]

The light enveloped the heads of Iva and Lilia. The presence of the two disappeared, and their appearances became invisible. Nevertheless, it was a very convenient magic because Lilia and Eva, the parties to the magic, could recognize each other.

In this way, I gradually went deep into the Vatican. The number of corpses has increased noticeably. Most of them seemed to be ordinary priests or ordinary people who came to pray.

I couldn’t see it with the knight’s attire. An elderly man closes his eyes with a distressed expression. Some of them had large scars on their backs, probably because the elves had killed them themselves, and blood gushed out like a stream.

On the clothes crumpled like paper, blood that had already hardened and turned a hard black caught my eye. Often, a stubby thing like a tree got caught in their feet. Looking back, they were dead bodies with stiff muscles.

Nausea came over me.

I was familiar with corpses, but the corpses of innocent people were always disgusting. Eva couldn’t understand the current situation. Why did the elves cause such a disaster? I couldn’t quite understand. Why? For what reason?

They didn’t even try to kill the elves. It wasn’t that I was trying to suppress it. It wasn’t threatened, nor was it imprisoned. Why did the elves use violence against them for no reason?

Because it was just different? Contrary to their own standards, don’t they pass over the right to punish the candidate for the hero? They have to kill those who scorned their gods, but they stand in their way?

It was strange. No matter how different common sense was from the outside world, that wouldn’t be the reason for the massacre.

After contemplating like that, Iba suddenly came to a realization.

What is the difference between the massacre they committed and the massacre you committed?

Then, Lillia reached in and covered Eva’s eyes.

“It’s okay.”

It wasn’t a question type. Didn’t ask.

She was just certain.

It’s okay.

Iva grabbed Lillia’s hand. She inhaled and exhaled her breath heavily. Her raspy heartbeat gradually calmed down. She clenched her teeth.

I know. Sins already committed cannot be taken back. It is different from spilling water. It is not water that can be sucked up with a cloth and squeezed again. It is not water that is vaporized and goes back to the sea.

The hardened earth rather than the water. It was a sturdy land that would never return to its original form no matter how broken it was. Iba stood on top of it.

Really, it’s already over.

There was too much blood on her hands, and while the blood and its smell could be erased, her memory could not be erased.

But that wasn’t a reason to hesitate now.

“Yes…”

She let go of Lilia’s hand.

Her own guilt was not a reason not to stop their actions. Rather, it became a reason to act even more. You are one of the reasons that led them to this place, and you are also the cause that made them commit crimes here.

Closing the decision.

The knot has already been twisted out of control. If so, the person who untied the knot must be the one who tied it.

Eva moved to untie the knot herself.

Even if a knife is needed to untie the knot, I will use it.

If I had to cut off the cause of this chaos with a single knife, like untying the Gordian knot, I would do it.

Like Lila said, to live well.

Now he didn’t move for himself. He wished for his happiness and moved for the sake of many people who made that happiness his own. The touch of his hand was still there.

It was soft and clear.

“It’s okay.”

In order not to blame myself for regretting what I hesitated to do here someday. Eva moved again.

In my field of vision, numerous corpses passed by. It was impossible to ignore. A great deal of attention was spent on each and every one of them. Not now. It is not yet the time to let go of tantrums, the many sparks that have built up in your heart.

Lillia squeezed her hand. The warmth of others is somehow reassuring. She was truly grateful to have her by her side. Connected like that, the two approached the center of the turmoil.

From a place where believers are to worship, a place where silence is supposed to be the main emotion, a huge unbearable noise rained down.

The sound of battle where spears and knives collide. A scream erupted and a light flashed. It was a bright flash that made my eyes hurt. A piercing sound unique to magic flowed out, and perhaps because of the divine nature, Iva brushed his arm away in instinctive resistance.

He stepped into the chapel.

Perhaps because of the magic, no one looked at them. Iva quickly checked the safety of her acquaintances.

“Keugh…!”

“There… Beast! Hold on properly…!”

“Please call me Lumia!”

Fortunately, there were no deaths. Wiz and Rumia were fighting against the legion of elves. Maybe it was because of the rusty holy sword, but unlike usual, I couldn’t use my strength. In addition, his unique and unmatched ability was not shining. Why?

Her captain crossed her swords with what appeared to be the leader of her elves, and Stella helped her with her magic.

A strange sight happened. Ice spears that were exactly the same as the ice spears Stella had blown were formed on the leader of the elves and then offset.

Is it the ability to imitate the opponent’s strength? What an annoying power.

Eva clicked her tongue lightly.

“I found it!”

At that moment, someone extended a sword from behind Eva. It was precisely the blow that was aimed at him. However, it was not Iba who would be taken lightly by such a lame attack. The moment he sensed her presence, he turned around and grabbed her sword with her spear.

It is a blood-colored spear made using demonic power.

“Impossible! How can this magic be…”

Lilia screamed in surprise. Even if stealth is not a major, it is the highest level of magic with advanced processes that ordinary people cannot even try. It was an extraordinary magic that prevented people from feeling that their senses were being distorted, rather than simply blocking their sight. How could something like that be destroyed so easily?

The waterdrop-like umbrella that was covered over them flowed down. Everyone there, not just the person who had just attacked, recognized Iva.

“…?!”

“He’s sleeping.”

“This, Ii Ii Iba?”

“Iba…?”

“Uh… I didn’t want this to happen.”

Eva smiled bitterly and brandished her spear. The attacker was unable to dodge the blow and was split in half. He died gushing blood profusely.

“Iva! Why are you here!”

I heard Stella’s cry from afar.

“Lilia…! Why do you respect Iva’s freedom only at times like this?!”

“Because I, I don’t always live with me?!”

“You’re laughing.”

An enraged elf’s cry was heard between Stella and Lilia, who were exchanging conversations as usual.

“Yes, you bastard!!!”

A barbed wire rose next to the head of the enraged elves. It was magic created by Stella.

“Eva, we can sort this out on our own. Go back.”

“Did you see me listening to you?”

“Listen to me please!”

Eva, who was in a fighting stance, felt a sense of incongruity.

One is that the strongest candidates in the world, or the leader of the Order of the Holy Knights, are unable to use their strength.

The other is that there are too many elves. The number of people inside and outside seemed to be well over a hundred.

How many elves are there? As expected before, if there were elves who could create clones, it would be solved, but even considering that, it was strange.

Caught in terms of the aforementioned impotence.

No matter how strong the elves were, were they strong enough to stand up against the most powerful group of men, the Holy Knights?

And the last sense of incongruity.

It is too disconnected from the outside world. Light goes out, but the amount that comes in is small, and sound goes out, but doesn’t come in. Paladins outside would also come to reinforce, but they did not come.

Eva was sure.

The elves have helpers.

Originally, elves don’t have the skills to cause such a commotion. Perhaps it was the helper that caused this level of confusion. Judging from the fact that the stealth magic was discovered just now, that helper is probably…

“Watch out, bastard! There must be a wizard here!”

As if Lillia had noticed, she quickly shouted.

“Oh, are you quick-witted?”

But by the time I noticed, it was already too late. Chains formed on Iva’s limbs, sacred chains of golden light. There was a feeling of skin-melting pain and a compulsive tranquility, yet no anger welling up. Divine power, and that is a divine power that was crafted quite delicately.

Was the helper a paladin, not a mage?

Eva looked up and saw where her voice had come from.

There was a girl who looked like a rabbit.

“…Morbe?”

“Do you know Master? As expected… You were the culprit!”

The assistant was neither a wizard nor a paladin, but a vampire.
