Twelfth Report: Those who follow God's guidance

If they tell me this is Fujido's fault, I'll shake my head to the side.

I don't like Fujido, who kicked himself out, and although it was the beginning of the first time that he didn't like the undead, nevertheless - if Gregorio, who belongs to the church, kills Fujido, that's definitely the downfall of the church.

Regardless, there will be no shaking of the church to that extent. It's before breakfast for Craio, such as putting up a fake rettel on the brave, and that would scratch Craio's authority, but that's probably not so deadly.

But still, if the Demon King Crusade fails for such a nagging reason, I can't face the Church or the Kingdom.

"... sorry, I can't support anything..."

Back in the room, Amelia dropped her shoulder and said with a sorry look on her face.

Sure, Amelia barely spoke, but an apology is unnecessary. Originally, I'm not trying to get Amelia to do this. Well, that reaction of Gregorio was unexpected, and another mystery deepened about her -.

Choose words and speak up.

"Well, I have no choice. There's no way there's anybody who's good at that guy."

"... well, that's right"

Once you know its nature, a regular person would definitely not try to get close.

But still, Gregorio managed to snort at my demands. He looked suspicious, but I guess he convinced himself that it had something to do with my "trials".

I got a paragraph. Now I finally have a paragraph.

Don't think of it as... etc. In the village of Vale, that alarm almost took its toll.

Just in case.

I go to the window and stare softly under my eyes.

Just then, I saw Gregorio's back out of the inn. The black trunk case in the hand and the long coat can be seen in one shot from a distance.

Lurk your voice and tell Amelia.

"Amelia, I'm gonna make sure he gets back to the Third Church without any particular problems."

"... Shall I go?

I'm going to suggest it in a slightly higher voice than usual. Even if I didn't have to look in the face, I wish I could have done something I couldn't.

That's right Gregorio doesn't imitate sisters either... but fieldwork is my area. Conversely, Amelia would be better at administrative work.

"No, I'll go. In case hundreds of millions of people get attacked, Amelia won't be able to help them."

"... I don't think that's possible"

"I hope that's not possible."

I'm the only one who can. I'm the only one who can do it.

Stopping Gregorian requires such a person to have at least the same level of combat experience as Gregorian and to be more relentless than the same. I don't even know what I remember.

Weave a brown hooded coat. Instruct Amelia, who still looks a little sunk.

"Let's get rid of the problem one by one. Amelia asks for a status report to Craio and a monitoring of Fujido and the others' trends. If there's anything strange about Fujido's movements, let me know immediately."

"Okay."

Amelia's voice color was back to its usual whether she switched quickly or was good at concealing emotions.

Step closer, observe the look on its face but see nothing.

Amelia's is tilting her neck and looking at this one. Are you all right now?

... maybe I should take care of him for once... I don't feel comfortable hanging out with booze though.

"... I'm coming. I'll be back as soon as Gregorio confirms he's back at church, but I'll be in touch if anything happens by then."

"Yes. Okay."

I wonder if I should leave Mace. It'll be luggage, and my Battle Mace stands out compared to the Mace Amelia has.

But in case you're going to fight Gregorio, it's very risky to fight without the main weapon. Even Gregorio doesn't know how to quit magic so it doesn't work on me.

I decided to take it eventually. Finally, make sure the knife fits properly in your nostrils. In general, humans are soft. The knife is very useful for Gregorians who are not wearing armor or the like. Maybe, like me, he's wearing chainmail under his coat, but then you can hit him on the face, hands and other exposed areas. If you stick a knife to your eye and spin your brain marrow, that Gregorio must die, too.

If they shield the trunk, I won't stand my teeth...

I checked my gear, and Amelia said to me in a tone that made me bluff.

"Mr. Ares, you're motivated..."

"... no. This is just in case. He's useful. If you're going to die anyway, I don't want you to die in this place, I want you to attack the Demon King and die."

That way, we will fight afterwards, and the odds of the Fujido and the others winning will increase somewhat.

§ § §

A level is an indicator of the presence of that person, and the higher it is, the more powerful it is as an organism, but at the same time it refers to the level of authority in this world.

Yeah, authority level. A person who has raised a level can't scratch at a lower level. I have the authority to do what I can't do.

That's not what I'm talking about, more magic to use because it increases magic, or having something heavy because it increases your arm strength.

It can be, for example, climbing vertical walls with bare hands, ignoring physical phenomena and ignoring some degree of gravity, completely erasing signs, detecting signs from a few kilometres away, and completely restraining people's movements with intent to kill.

And the heretic exterminators tended to have higher levels than other warriors.

That means that without that level of combat capability the duties will not be performed, and at the same time it tells the story of the harshness of the task.

My level is the highest among heretic exterminators, but so is the level of Gregorian who has been killing the Demons long before I became heretic exterminator.

Clear the signs completely, take a distance and track down Gregorio.

My distance, about three hundred meters. There's a shield, too, and I can't see him.

There are not many people, but there are not many. Footsteps to strong wind sounds. Speaking. In the midst of all the noise, I heard Gregorian whining in my ear as I walked with my consciousness focused on my senses.

It's solitary. A pale voice is like talking to someone, but there are no other people around.

"Oh, Ares. You are... strong."

The volume is small. They are listening because of their high level. Perhaps in low-level ordinary people, they won't be able to hear you even if you're very close. Such a voice.

"You are chosen by God. Endless divine power, the spirit of steel, you who cut off pale enemies - deserve to be number one. Oh, Ares. I - when I first met you... I was very surprised. No way such a human being exists, etc. I've met many monks (Priest), but the only thing that surprised me was later and earlier - only once."

Its pale voice, its praise, sounds terribly awkward.

I'm a normal person. It was just high level, and luck. That's why the voice is out of focus, and I'm not happy at all.

Its legs don't stop, even though it keeps uttering words. That footprint was not lost, and he was on his way to the Third Church, as I had requested.

"Transcendental. The Transcendental (Ex-Deus) in the Church of the Extinct (Out Crusade). You two are like elephants. Not enough to take another heretic exterminator (Crusader). Yeah, but you, you're the only one! I'm very... interested in what kind of test God has given you."

That leg stops in front of the church of purpose.

In the end, Gregorio never showed any unnatural movements since he went outside.

"This is destiny"

The only unnatural voice is that voice. Only when, that voice was no longer in solitary.

It's like a singing voice. I also stop at that voice, which seems somewhat overwhelming.

invisible distance, noisy ambient conditions. If, for example, Gregorio and I stood in the opposite position, I wouldn't be aware of Gregorio's pursuit.

Unless you assume that.

"Ares, you may think it's a coincidence that you met me today, but this is... destiny. We followed God's guidance and met in this place as soon as we could. Don't forget. Me and you are just one of the gears of destiny."

The voice had a sound of certainty.

A fanatic's creed?

...... chip. This is the tail.

No, I don't mind finding out. Originally, we knew he was sharp.

But I don't mind finding out... but that fact that the tail was noticed is pretty heavy.

Even that you're not trusted?

Should I say that even fanatics aren't completely insane? Intense 'madness' and glimpses of 'reason'.

"Rest assured. Ares. I do not intend to interrupt any of your trials at this time. Adults - let's lock ourselves in the church. It's been a long time since I've done normal church work either... not bad"

Doubtful Dark. I can't believe it.

Are you really going to make a big deal out of it? Shouldn't I have killed him?

Amelia once broke off her suspicions as virtuous. But he has a proven track record of just letting him hold it.

"Goodbye, Ares Crown. If I may, I will not see you again. of God - as He wills."

The sound of if the door closes. Finally, Gregorio's signs disappeared.

I also felt a few seconds as if they were minutes. Wait a while and make sure Gregorio doesn't come out. To be sure, I finally turned my heel back.

Breathe that was getting rough at some point. He's a horrible man. He called me transcendent, but it seems to me how transcendent he is.

There shouldn't be room to lose on the specs, but I don't feel like I can win at all. That's probably because he has a faith I don't have. Crazy or biased, a man of strong will is a strong thing.

"Gear of Destiny, or"

Rebellion Gregorian's words in his mouth.

That is also why my faith in God is shallow. If this situation is all due to God's guidance now, I want to punch God in the face.

Just then, Amelia enters communication.

Switch the head you've been occupying about Gregorio for the past day. For now, Gregorian has no choice but to believe the word.

"It's about Spica -"

Listen to Amelia.

Communication from Amelia. It showed that the situation was moving.

I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing, or if it's by God's guidance, as Gregorio put it.
