I looked at the devils summoned in front of me stiffly.
Almost all of the devils are here.
Regardless of whether they are under Serga or Neliard.
In addition, I was fine even though I summoned so many devils.
âLeblaine!â
Emeline and the Tri ran to me.
As soon as I looked at them, Emeline glared and gritted her teeth as if she was about to kill the pope. Tri next to me turned pale and was about to collapse.
As I narrowed my eyebrows, Emeline opened her mouth.
âDo you know how the devil has been able to give their power to Mina until now?â
ââ¦â¦what?â
âHow did an old man who was over eighty
looked young in front of you?â
ââ¦â¦.â
âDo you know why the devils were able to absorb Minaâs divine power?â
Emeline gritted her teeth, and Trigon, who was biting his lip, shouted.
âThere were two people in the basement. No, itâs an empty body that didnât become a corpse. Both bodies were broken, butâ¦â¦.â
Tri parted her lips and put them back together, then said,
âI, I know. One is a wounded body. I donât know who it is, but the other personâ¦!
I looked at Emeline and she burst out laughing cynically.
âEven an ignorant person like Trigon will know. Itâs a face that people of this empire will know.â
âSo who the hell is that-â
âFounding Emperor Fred.â
I looked at the pope, whose body was completely destroyed and revealed his true self.
Emeline yelled out.
âThe other person must be Ivan! The bodies of the two people during the founding war were torn so they sewed it again to create that body. That body that can absorb the power of both Gods!
ââ¦â¦.â
âBlaine? The popeâs existence itself is unholy. Weâve been bowing our heads in front of that person so far!â
Why didnât I think of that?
Just as Minaâs soul was transferred to my motherâs body, they were able to transfer the popeâs soul to another personâs body.
They were able to give their power to Mina because her body was made of the body of the founding emperor, the messenger of God Neliard.
Minaâs power could be absorbed because it was a body with the same power of Neliard.
âEverything we believed was an illusion.â
When I muttered to the pope, his mouth opened. He seemed to laugh but looked angry.
âIt was all to create a world of eternal rest.â
Ha, ha, haha.
A horrifying laugh rang out from somewhere in the popeâs body.
âSome sacrifices are unavoidable in order to attain eternal peace, Meria.â
The pope moved to me at once. When he reached for me, the first devil, Baal hugged my waist and quickly stepped back.
âHow can heâ¦!â
A vine came out of the ground in an instant and got his ankle.
âThe power of Baal is abundance.â
Boone cut off some of the vine with his sword.
Then, a black fog filled the place and familiar people crawled out of the fog.
The paladin Jonathan.
One of the 21 priests, Adolf, who stole the youth medicine preparation method at the hope mercenary guild and confused the empress dowager.
Cardinal Reginald, and many more.
The dead appeared wearing strangely shaped helmets and armor.
âBooneâs ghost armyâ¦!â
The pope, who had laughed after several unsuccessful attacks, once again briefly warped and approached me.
âIf you donât like my old body, how about this?â
His face changed to Adrianâs.
ââ¦â¦!â
âDonât you like this too? And this? How about this?â
Dadâs face, Johannâs face, Momâs face. He kept changing his face.
âItâs Amyâs power of transformation.â
Someone pulled me with magic away from the pope.
I was pulled up to the tower in an instant, and when I turned my head, I saw Henry.
After cleaning up the territory and the surrounding area, he appeared here with the rest of the soldiers.
âArchers!â
Archers in magic gloves engraved with the patterns of Dubblede pulled their bow at once.
As the arrows started pouring down like rain, something black jumped out to the side of the pope and was hit by the arrow instead.
Monster.
It was a monster.
âPurâs superpower is an army of monsters!â
A flying monster came out and flew toward Henry.
If Baal hadnât used a vine to block it, that monster would have cut Henryâs neck.
âRetreat. He is free to use the devilâs power. He can intercept and use this power in a short moment of carelessness.â
âHow could that be? He doesnât even use the etwal or other passages.â
âEtwal is a tool that connects the other world and the people, and makes it easy for the user to connect with the devil. As for him, he became etwal himself and opened a passage to another world.â
ââ¦â¦Huh?â
âIt must be possible because of that body that contains both Neliard and Sergaâs power.â
ââ¦â¦.â
âThey were not summoned. They were released.â
It was said that Sergaâs seal was released.
In other words, in addition to the devils I summoned, other devils could appear in the world.
âThen the pope can freely use the powers of the devil?â
âItâs Neliardâs interference.The body of the child of fate at the time was weak and could not use the power of God perfectly, but it is different from him. If itâs a body that can use Godâs power perfectly, wouldnât they be able to withstand it even if someone pulls all their power?â
Before he could finish speaking, the pope leapt to where I was and swung his weapon.
âBaal!â
I hurriedly pushed Baal away.
The popeâs weapon passed Baalâs cheek.
I know what that weapon is. A weapon that allows the use of Agarethâs ability âDeathâ.
So it was said that even a devil could die if they were hit by that weapon.
But it was strange.
How can Agarethâs power be maintained when he had just used another devilâs power in a short time?
âAgareth.â
When Baal muttered in a low voice, a red-haired devil appeared under the tower. It was Agareth.
Baal looked at him coldly.
âAre you giving up even your pride as the chosen one and taking the hand of an unclean person?â
âIf I can get rid of you, I can put my pride down for a while.â
âI see. If the devil allows them to use their ability, they can easily maintain it!â
Agareth was willing to hand out his power to the pope to kill Baal.
Once again, the pope tried to kill Baal.
I quickly jumped in front of him. But, the pope was blocked before reaching me.
âMeria.â
âIâm also a pioneer who had âwisdomâ. If you die, you can completely disappear from the world. If youâre going to mess with my allies, you have to pass me first.â
âWhy are youâ¦â
The pope, who was looking at me with black eyes, dropped his shoulders as if in despair.
âYou must be punished for not knowing how I feel.â
ââ¦â¦what?â
In an instant, a shout was heard from below.
âYoung master!â
It was Leaâs voice.
Looking down in a hurry, I saw Isaac was pierced by the swords of the priest Adolf and the cardinal Reginald, who became ghost soldiers.
âIsaacâ¦!â
I screamed.
Seeing Isaac falling down and vomiting blood, my mind went blank.
The popeâs gentle voice was heard from my ears.
âWhoâs next? Your father? Your other brothers? How about that maid and knight you cherish like your life?â
My eyes become red.
Below the tower, my people were being attacked by a ghost army summoned by the pope.
Even those with weapons that could cut down the holy beasts were helpless in front of the ghost army.
I knew how powerful they were because I had used the ghost army.
Unless they cut off the power of those who summoned the army, they will never fall.
My whole body trembled. My head was spinning and I was suffocating.
âYouâ¦â¦.â
âDonât forget that I have kept them alive until this time only because of you.â
ââ¦â¦.â
âSo be kind to me. Please do your best as if Iâm your world and cherish me. Now, Meria. With these thingsâ¦â
When he reached out to me, warm energy rose from under the tower. People surrounded by green light were disappearing as if they were never there.
âCome to me, wounded people.â
It was Gremory.
And,
âPlay it until the world is gone!â
The trumpets sounded alongside the loud laughter. Those who owned the flute also began to blow on it. It was Pymonâs band army.
When Pymonâs voice rang, the trumpet became an ax and the flute became a sword.
Pymonâs army, who got onto the tower, aimed the axes and swords at the pope.
âI donât know you, but I know one thing. Youâre the one who dares to despise us superior beings.â
âPymon.â
As the pope called him, Pymon pursed his lips.
âI donât like this guy, but I hate you more so Iâll join the fight.â
Someone flew from behind Pymon.
The pope was electrified for a moment.
ââ¦Meria.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
It was Storas.
He stared at the pope, blocking the gap between the pope and me.
