Leblaine moved to the temple with Juliet.
As expected, the temple was heavily guarded. No matter how foolish the king of Mojas was, he could not have prepared for anything when Duke Dubblede was locked up in prison.
They must have thought that we wouldnât do anything since we suffered damage from the war with Neliard church.
Above all else, if we invaded, it would be obvious that we would come to their temple, so the temple is guarded more.
Leblaine and Juliet were counting the soldiers guarding the temple from the bushes.
When Leblaine stepped out, Juliet hurriedly grabbed her.
âWhat are you going to doâ¦!â
âIâm going to march ahead.â
âAre you crazy?â
Juliet looked at her like a madman and sighed heavily.
âNo matter how strong you are with the power of God, you can never win against that many people. Theyâre the best magic unit on the continent.â
âThatâs why we can win.â
ââ¦â¦What?â
âIf they canât just use magic, that means weâll win.â
Leblaine, who smiled, threw something towards them.
Bump!
It slipped after it bumped against a mageâs head. The soldiers hurriedly raised swords, spears, bows, and staff toward the direction it flew from.
âBaal.â
In an instant, a vine that grew from the ground caught those people.
The mages tried some spells to cut down the vines.
Butâ¦
âIsnât itâ¦â
âYes.â
Thatâs suwon.
They canât use magic where the suwon is.
Juliet opened her mouth and looked at Leblaine.
At the same time, the Palace of Mojas.
âMages-!!â
The emperor shouted with a pale face, but the mages did not know what to do.
After Duke Dubblede exploded the prison, they could not use magic.
No, to be exact, after Duke Dubblede threw someone towards them.
âOu, we, throw suwon. We-we protect the bloodline of adventurers!â
As the bent nymph shouted, the other nymphs around the Duke of Dubblede began to randomly throw suwon at the mages.
Seto, one of Seriaâs younger siblings and a half-nymph, shouted excitedly.
âThereâs no way that the lady didnât prepare anything while sending her precious father as a envoy to the enemy country!â
Even before departing for Mojas, Dubblede prepared several carts full of suwon.
So that they cannot use magic when they try to attack Duke Dubblede.
The Duke of Dubblede slowly approached King of Mojas.
âH-how dare youâ¦!â
The King of Mojas was pale and he was shaking.
Duke Dubblede opened his mouth slowly while wiping the blood off his sword.
âI hate stupid people.â
âWhat, what?â
âEspecially those who are ignorant when theyâre at a life and death situation.â
âWhat are you saying? Kneel down right now⦠Aaaah!â
Duke Dubbledeâs sword pierced King Mojasâ shoulder.
âIt seems thereâs no need to take more time, so Iâll explain the situation.â
âM, m-magesâ¦!â
âMojasâ proud mages can no longer use magic, and the knights are in disarray. Do you know what it means?â
ââ¦â¦.â
âIt means that the leash is on my hand.â
The duke shouted with an indifferent expression.
âKneel down.â
Nos and other Dubblede knights dragged King Mojas out roughly and knelt him down.
Mojasâ royal family was watching the whole situation at the dinner hall, but no one dared to step up.
When Duke Dubblede, who was sitting on the table crossed his legs, Nos lifted King Mojasâ hair.
The Duke of Dubblede said,
âSit down.â
The royal families and nobles of Mojas, who received his attention, sat while trembling.
It was followed by Dubbledeâs knights, and the nymphs who guarded the mages.
âShall we start the meeting?â
The nobles of Mojas screamed inside.
Where in the world is a meeting that begins with the king kneeling down?
***
I looked at Mojasâ knights who were spread out like matchsticks and nodded.
The explosions happened at one of the palace, and the knights asked for assistance, but there was no answer from the main palace.
âDad seems to have arranged it well.â
âBoone, now withdraw your troops.â
Then the ghost soldiers dispersed into a fog.
I knocked on the outer wall of the temple.
âSomething is here. It doesnât seem like a barrierâ¦â
âYou blocked the magic with suwon, but the barrier is still working.â
Juliet sighed and said so. I tilted my head and asked.
âThen what is it? What is it that surrounds the outer wall so strongly?â
I donât think my attack has any flaws.
âItâs the power of God.â
âAre other temple also surrounded by this kind of power?â
If so, Iâm worried about Gahong.
âNo matter how powerful Hong-hae is, her power alone will not be able to destroy it.â
Juliet shook her head.
âOther temples may be surrounded by powerful force, but it wonât be this much. This is because Mojas dramatically strengthened it with magic.â
âIs there any reason to strengthen it?â
If Neliard was not crazy and trying to collapse the world like he is now, the temple is a place where it would not be attacked.
Even if a war breaks out, other countries will not touch this place.
It would be troublesome if they touched the wrong place with the power of God and got cursed.
When I narrowed my forehead, Juliet also narrowed her forehead.
ââ¦youâre definitely quick-witted.â
âWhat does it mean?â
âLetâs go in.â
She can break through the barrier?
When Juliet shook her hand in front of the lion stone statue guarding the temple, the stone statue disappeared and the door opened with a sound.
I tilted my head and followed Juliet.
âHow can you get in?â
âThey used me as a medium when strengthening the divine barrier with magic.â
ââ¦â¦What?â
Juliet turned to me and shrugged.
âItâs also the reason why even if the emperor hates me, he can never kill me.â
[How can he use his daughter as a test subject�! Child, the king of Mojas is worse than the devil!]
Boone exclaimed.
Juliet walked silently. As we reached the center of the temple, a huge strangely shaped gemstone was wrapped in several layers of metal rings.
A tremendous degree of magic wrapped around the gemstone like a wall.
I looked at the barrier engraved in the air and hardened.
âJuliet, this isâ¦â
ââ¦â¦.â
âThis is crazy.â
As my emotions became uncontrollable, Pur, Boone, and Storas also become the same way.
âWhatâs going on, child?â
âWhy, huh? What?!â
Storas saw it, and after a while he burst into cynical laughter as if in shock.
âYou have stolen Godâs blessing.â
ââ¦â¦.â
Juliet had nothing to say, as Pur and Booneâs eyes widened.
âYou intercept it?â
âThe blessing?â
Storas looked at Juliet, who had her arms crossed and her head bowed silently.
âYou intercepted the rain of the continent to create a great drought, intercepted sunlight to enrich the land, and intercepted the breath of God to drive out the disease.â
ââ¦â¦.â
âAll kinds of disasters have been pushed out to other countries, and you guys enjoyed the blessings you intercepted. Right?
ââ¦â¦Yes.â
I ripped off Julietâs sleeve roughly.
ââ¦â¦!â
Her arms rotted all over. It wasnât just arms. Her skin is rottin, and the only thing that is intact is the part exposed above the clothes.
âIs that why you were nice to Hong-hae? Because Gahong suffered the most from you stealing the rain?!â
ââ¦â¦Yes.â
âHow could that be? How-!â
âI guess itâs because weâre the children of beasts.â
Juliet looked at me with an indifferent expression.
âI donât really have much conscience because I had a bloodline of garbage.â
ââ¦there is no way you could have maintained this type of magic with the power of one person.â
ââ¦â¦.â
âTell me! What happened?â
Juliet approached the wall behind the gemstone. When she removed the tapestry covering the wall, something came out.
There were corpses.
I was startled when I saw the corpse that had fallen to the ground.
Blonde and mole under the chin.
âMom?â
No, no.
Itâs not my mother
âBut this person looks so much like my mother⦠⦠.â
Juliet lowered her head and said.
âThe Temple of Neliard killed the Shaymans under the guise of a flood. Weâve helped them, and in return, weâve received the bodies of the Shayman people.â
ââ¦Thatâs absurd. An intact corpse?â
âI completed the rite using them, who are the blood of God, and I am able to wield the power of God.â
I rubbed my forehead with a shocked expression.
âThe hand of the temple also reached here.â
Mom is the blood of the Shayman tribe. Shayman was a tribe where marriages between their tribe were normal, so there would have been many people who resembled my mother.
I reached out my hand to the person who resembled my mother on a pile of corpses.
The moment I closed her eyes.
The gemstone shined.
[â¦aine.]
And I heard a voice.
[Leblaine.]
âA familiar voice.â
A friendly voice was heard, and the body opened its eyes.
Boone quickly grabbed me and pulled me away from the corpse.
The body staggered towards me.
I clenched my teeth.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
[My little sister.]
âNeliard!â
Eventually, he appeared on this earth.
