Episode 6: The Ruined Wedding/Torn Wedding

The chapel door opens slowly, making loud noises. The gaze of those who were behind the door gathered at the entrance. Everyone sees Belle and Emilia, both Barbara and the Moon Guard.

The Moon Guard (Luna Guard) fighters were mostly injured and only Benjamin was engaged with Lambert and the others. Atheist comrades were also forced to struggle, as the Moon Guard (Luna Guard) had done with great damage.

Barbara had her left leg cut off and couldn't even move. Lili is stuck with Barbara and not very much of a force for war.

With the bomb in his hand gone, Allen has no way of exchanging it and is hiding in the shadows. Burt has spreading leg wounds and has managed to resist Benjamin. Lambert was the only one fighting Benjamin properly.

⁉ ︎

He was Benjamin, who had been focusing his consciousness on fighting Lambert for a while, but soon realized Bell's presence.

Benjamin was sideways confirming that Bell was headed to the Pope. Such a bell is almost intact, bringing Emilia back to the chapel.

"Everybody retreat!

Benjamin pulled himself out of front of the Lamberts and gave instructions to the entire Moon Guard (Luna Guard). I couldn't help but feel distracted.

Something is happening to the Pope. We need to make sure the Pope is safe as soon as possible. Only the thought moved him. Benjamin calls off two Moon Guards (Luna Guards) as the injured Moon Guards (Luna Guards) fly out of the chapel one after the other.

"Wait. We're going to the top floor."

Benjamin called off Jim Corey and the other one. Moon Guard (Luna Guard) with her face hidden in a hood.

They ran up the stairs in such a way that they could not hide their impatience without leaving Bell and Emilia alone.

"... apparently, you've settled down for a moment."

Barbara opens her heavy mouth. The chapel is quiet, as if it were a lie that there was an intense battle going on until just now.

On this occasion, indescribable voidness was spreading. Barbara or Raleigh. There are many wounded here.

"Let's disperse, too. You should leave once and prepare for the next battle.

............... Still, are they still there? "

Now that you have the wounded and your power has been drastically shredded, the best way to escape is to get away. Lambert gave the best instructions.

"Chip, you have no choice. You're right."

Always as a command tower, Barbara, who had given instructions before anyone else, honestly swallowed Lambert's suggestion.

Bell and Lambert immediately supported Barbara on both shoulders. Lost a leg, she can't walk alone.

"Look, you guys, don't be bossy either, I'm just leaving!

Lili, who was sitting nearby, Allen, who was sitting in the corner of the chapel, and Burt, who was flashing nearby, finally moved out by Barbara's voice.

On this occasion, the comrades will follow the chapel at the same time. The departed chapel of the Moon Guard (Luna Guard), an atheist comrade, was even quieter.

As she left the chapel, Emilia looked back. There's a figure of Raleigh who falls and doesn't move. Emilia, still thinking of Raleigh as a friend, stopped there for a moment.

After watching Raleigh for a while, I could confirm that her chest, which fell on her back, was slightly raised and lowered. Raleigh is alive. Having confirmed that, Emilia follows the backs of her fellow men, who keep moving away from the chapel.

"I'll pick you up later..."

Emilia didn't dare take Raleigh home on this occasion. Comrades all know that Raleigh is a traitor. Bell and Emilia are the only ones who actually heard the story, but where Bell and Raleigh are fighting, everyone should have seen it.

To avoid causing extra confusion, Emilia was thinking of explaining it to everyone before taking Raleigh home.

Raleigh was the only one left in the chapel wrapped in complete serenity. It's been a while since she lost to Bell. I was Raleigh, who was falling with her eyes open then, but now those eyes are closing.

………………

Having recovered just a little, Raleigh took the time to move her neck. Due to the load caused by the blood curse, she was unable to move her body freely.

If you move your neck at last with your thoughts, no one's chapel spreads beyond it. After losing the battle with Bell, she had no reason to know what happened to the battle between the Moon Guard (Luna Guard) and Barbara.

Raleigh doesn't know that Bell went over the tower and came home safely. I didn't even know Emilia was back.

"I was wrong...?

Raleigh whispered in a faint voice so little she could hear. In her head at this time, all sorts of memories were recalled, like a running lantern.

Memories abandoned by my parents, raised from Benjamin, and spent time with the Bells.

It was Benjamin who picked her up at the Pope's behest.

And Benjamin, at the Pope's behest, came to take care of Raleigh. It was Benjamin who raised Raleigh, never the Pope. The father to her was undisputed Benjamin.

"That was fun......"

As various memories were evoked, I had memories of them being played back over and over in her head.

That's the newest memory. False days spent with Barbara, Emilia, Bart, Belle and Lili. Memories of being the town daughter of a black magician (Grigori) heading for the Pope. Find out about the sleeping curse, coibana with Emilia, try Beast Road, fight Benjamin, report false information to Barbara.

I was supposed to be playing my fake self, but Raleigh was enjoying it before she even noticed it. Maybe Raleigh, who spent time with the Bells, was the real girlfriend.

Raleigh as Luna Guard has always acted to repay the Pope for saving himself. The fun was not dusty there either.

But false days gave her pleasure.

And it was also creating suspicion in her mind.

Until then, Raleigh believed in Pope and Renato as absolute beings and had nothing to doubt.

However, if I lived as an atheist at all, I often questioned the Pope and Renato. For the Pope's sake, it was Raleigh who challenged Bell with all his might, but his chest was very complicated.

She was the one who made all sorts of statements as the one who revealed the truth and devoted herself to the Pope, but every time she opened her mouth, she questioned her own words.

Is it true that the Pope saved his own life, like God? Is Renaturalism the base of people's minds? Was it, by any chance, something to protect until I risked my life? There, was it worth enough to bear the curse?

Now her doubts were turning to certainty.

"I'm sorry, Emilia...... Bert"

From Raleigh's eyes, tears were overflowing. Its sincerity is unknown, but you will regret and apologize for letting Emilia bear the curse of blood.

Not only Emilia's name, but Raleigh mouthed Burt's as well. I mean, would you say that even Bart was a copy of the vampire?

If the vampire that showed up in Burt's bed that day was Raleigh, it all explains it. Burt may have been lied to and agreed to become a vampire when he could gain power beyond people's knowledge.

"I wanted a real friend... I wanted a real family..."

What comes to Raleigh's mind are Bell, Lili, Burt, and Emilia's face. At least when they were spending time as false beings, they were Raleigh's friends.

Then family. For her, the only face that comes to mind from the word family is Benjamin. He worked out Raleigh harshly. I rarely reprimanded and praised Raleigh at all times. That's why I can't forget the memory of when you complimented me.

Benjamin was, to her, a tough father himself. A formidable man who picked her up and raised her who was lost on the street. Thinking of such a father's face, Raleigh was in constant tears.

"I wonder if I wasn't alone..."

Meanwhile, Benjamin had taken two Moon Guards (Luna Guard) to the roof of the Moon Tower. There was nothing in the room and no shadows, so they immediately went up to the roof.

…………………

It was a black mass that jumped into the eyes of the three moon guards (Luna Guard) who climbed onto the roof. Now it is no longer possible to determine whether it is human or not.

The closer I get, the more detail I see about the black chunk. A closer look showed that it was not a black mass, but a bone left over from the black burnt flesh. The closer the distance, the more it becomes clear that it forms the shape of a person.

"…………… Pope?

Of these three, only Benjamin has ever seen the Pope as a clarity. A pope like God, who lived forever for hundreds of years, could not die. With such thoughts, he stares at the carcass in front of him.

"........................... the Pope is dead?

Jim opens his mouth gently and groans. The Pope is an absolute presence for the Renato faithful. Such a pope, now in front of them, is turning into a miserable look to see.

"You say this... Faust did it?

Then another moon guard (Luna Guard) opens his mouth, hiding his face.

"……………………"

Benjamin leaked a voiceless voice.

That's an obvious fact, no matter who sees it. The Pope was killed by Faust.

Benjamin's face staring at the carcass was filled with sadness, and there was a mixture of even black anger in it.

Benjamin saw the death of an absolute being who risked his life to believe and serve. It was at the beginning that, although sorrow had covered his heart, gradual anger began to swallow sorrow.

"I will necessarily find and kill Bell Quill Faust. My people are guilty of the same crime."

Already, Benjamin had become Shura. The clenched fist trembles in anger, his eyes straight, staring at the late Pope.

Arosha created a vengeful ghost. Benjamin, who burns in unprecedented anger, can no longer be stopped by anyone.

The three moon guards (Luna Guard) returned to the chapel more than a dozen minutes after the

Burning in anger, Benjamin confirms for the first time at this time that Raleigh falls powerless just off the stairs. He didn't seem to notice it because he was desperate to check the Pope's safety when he climbed up, but Benjamin had regained some calm.

She bleeds out of her mouth and opens her eyes thinly.

Eventually, Raleigh moved her gaze and glanced at Benjamin.

She smiled happily. Benjamin smiles, too, as if to respond to it.

"...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Then, from Benjamin's face, the grin disappeared as soon as possible.

Then he stabbed Raleigh with the great sword he could carry. The sword pierced Raleigh's abdomen straight through. The giant blade mutilated her abdomen, causing her to suffer a wound that she had no intention of recovering. Large amounts of blood overflowed from that wound, while Raleigh spit blood out of her mouth.

"Kaha......"

Raleigh's lid (eyelids) slowly lowered and closed her eyes for a short time. Even though she was losing a lot of blood, she lost most of her blood in her body in the current Benjamin attack.

Soon afterwards, I stopped moving her body. Raleigh was abandoned by her biological parents and killed by her foster parents. Her love for her father was only one-sided.

"We'll get all the people we can move and find them! Surely, I will dedicate their orb to the Pope!

Now Benjamin is a ghost possessed of revenge. He murdered Raleigh, like my son, without any hesitation.

For Benjamin, the Pope is everything. It was something small, such as Raleigh's presence. What Benjamin cares about is taking Bell's life, not Raleigh's life and death.

If you take a person's life, it's bound to break someone's heart. Arrosha, the devil, didn't care about it at all. Arosha's taken life spawned a vengeful ghost. Benjamin's taken life may also produce something.

Benjamin, who easily took Raleigh's life, flew out of the chapel with the other Moon Guards (Luna Guard).

Once again, in the departed chapel of Luna Guard lies the remains of the bloodstained Raleigh. The time of the lonely vampire girl had stopped altogether. All that's moving is the blood that runs out and the tears that overflow from her eyes.

The area was filled with the smell of blood, and from there it was as if she could smell her pity as well. Unprecedented serenity dominated the chapel.
