Episode 313: The Church of Hermea
It will be about 1,000 years old.
A young emperor was born in the Giamuto Empire, which emerged in the northern part of the Central Continent.
The emperor of time will later be called the emperor of fear.
The name of the Empire of Fear is also known in the modern Geamut Empire, so we are talking about how much we have done.
It was the Giamuto Empire, which already ruled most of the territory of the Central Continent, but this terror empire will unify the entire Central Continent.
It was the beginning of despair for non-human beings.
The emperor of fear, with his tribal primacy, oppressed non-tribal species from the central continent.
Dwarfs with advanced technology from that time onwards and long-lived elves with spiritual magic disliked domination and left the Central Continent.
After the other species left, the civilizations of the other species were basically destroyed, and there is little left after 1,000 years.
A system of dungeons useful to the Giamuto Empire has survived.
When Allen was in school, he realized that the history of dungeon mechanisms had been broken for more than 1,000 years, but that was why.
The Giamuto Empire suppressed other races who did not leave the central continent.
The Beast was the most oppressed, but there is an organization that opposes it.
That's the Adventurers Guild and the Elmer Church.
The Adventurers Guild was committed to operating without being bound by the state and to protecting people from beasts.
As a result, the Adventurer Alliance confronted the Geamut Empire and moved its headquarters to another country.
Afterwards, the Emperor of Fear disappeared and after a while, when the Giamuto Empire settled down, he returned to the Empire.
The beliefs and ideological beliefs of the Church of Ermea were in direct conflict with those of the Emperor of Fear of the Giamuto Empire.
Because the Church of Hermère values fraternity, the teaching of the Creator God Hermère.
In the country of Elmar, there are many races other than the human race due to the idea of fraternity.
Of course, there are other kinds of priests.
The Creator, Hermère, is the most faithful God in the world.
This spirit is in direct conflict with the ideas of the Emperor of Fear.
Unlike the Adventurers Guild, there were saints, but few of them could fight.
As a result, many Ermean priests were oppressed and bled a great deal.
To escape from the Giamuto Empire, which has its capital in the northern part of the Central Continent, you will run south, cross the sea, and form a nation in the midst of what is now known as the Allied Powers.
This is the country of Elmar.
I created the Christian capital Theomenia at the first place I came to, and I continued to believe in the Creator Hermère.
Unlike the Adventurers Guild, the headquarters was never transferred from the Episcopal City of Theomenia.
Due to imperialism and kings, royalty is against thought.
Many churches have been built in the central continent, with only empires and kingdoms, to save people, but the headquarters continued to be in the Catholic capital of Theomenia.
And for a thousand years, the state of Ermar, a religious state, has continued to prosper.
However, the Giamuto Empire will be divided by the ensuing civil unrest.
It's terrible.
Cecil, sitting behind Allen, leaked his voice.
Allen and the others were not all evil people in the Elmar country, but there were almost pieces of them, so they started aiming for the Christian capital, Theomenia, in the morning.
What I saw there was an unusual appearance of the Christian capital, Theomenia, which prospered and continued to pray for 1,000 years.
The original Catholic capital, Theomenia, was a landscape based on trees, water, and stone, unlike the glorious metallism of the Baux Empire.
The fires are now in place, but the trees that painted the city are burning, and the stone buildings are black and collapsed in considerable places.
And evil spirits are walking around the city with behavior that makes them unknown whether they have the will or not.
Allen looks at the center of the city.
It's probably the place where the most burning and the huge fire-pillars that Father Nicolai saw occurred.
A crowd of cult followers have gathered to stop the execution of Patriarch Gushallah.
The fact that Princess Shea Beast has been captured and the religious trial has taken time.
The attempt to show off the execution of Patriarch Gushallah, who continued his outrage, was also a terrible consequence.
There is a burnt fence in Central Square where you can easily see what's going on.
It separates the cult's patriarchs from their followers.
I don't know what I want to do with such a big deal.
I can only see that something was done here that took the artifact and turned the believers into cults.
There's a demon over there.
That's right.
In the city of Neil, Meruth answers, who barely showed up.
And when I say that, I fly somewhere.
Of course, Meruth is leaving in order to bring darkness to the demons who are going to fight.
This is a matter of human sacrifice, and I do not intend to grant mercy to the demons.
Allen and the others are looking at a huge temple in the northern part of the Catholic capital, Theomenia.
In order to be clearly isolated from the city, the embankment is filled with earth and the shrine is able to overlook the city high.
From the main gate with several patterns to the central square, and after going up the long stairs, it leads to a shrine that enshrines the Creator Hermère.
From the creation of the city to the thought of the Creating God Hermère, I feel the history of 1000 years.
The center of the temple's roof, full of such people's thoughts, has been largely destroyed, and a pillar of blue light is rising above the sky from inside the temple.
Then, the angle changes from above, and the column of light goes straight south.
"What's going on? Allen"
"Well, I don't know. Dogora, let's hear it from the demons who are in this temple."
In response to Dogora's question, Allen answers that the person to ask is in the temple.
Get off the Bird B Summoner and enter the temple.
Allen's companions, who repeatedly changed jobs, are also good and bad at the mobility of Bird B's Summoner.
The interior of the temple is not so high as the ceiling.
Moreover, the Summoner of Bird B is quite large as an elephant.
Even with a large sword or axe, it keeps flying without shaking at all, making it easy to step on and attack.
In addition to being able to shoot magic and arrows from a remote location, it automatically keeps you away from enemies so you can focus on battle.
However, the temple is likely to be more than 10 meters high up to the ceiling, but it is quite a narrow space compared to the S-class dungeon.
Everyone chooses to get down and fight because of the movement constraints.
The shrine is a building for worshipping gods, so there are few cluttered rooms and passages, and many simple structures.
I'm sure that's true here, too.
Enters a large open stone building without a door.
Keep going as a straight path continues.
The road is quite wide and lined with giant stone statues.
(Toyotaka God Mormoro? And beside it is Freya the God of Fire.)
Allen has been in the world for a long time, so he knows what God looks like.
Then one of the stone statues on a scale several times that of the church in the village of Clena is seen.
A woman with straight hair and slender gaze.
It is made of a bright white stone statue, but I heard that it actually has bright red hair.
According to Rosen, the spiritual god, Freya, the god of fire, has been robbed of artifacts and is rapidly losing power.
Freya's story is becoming real when he learns that Habarak, a master of the Bauxi Empire, is trying to process Orihalcon.
It has been about six months since I heard the story of having been robbed of the artifact, but it seems true that in a few years the power of Freya the God of Fire will disappear.
There was a hall through the aisle.
"Are you the demon Rico Oron?
(Looks like a beast from Likaon. Isn't the demon an evolved demon clan?)
Thanks to Meruth's presence, the relationship between the demons and the demons has become more or less clear.
It seems that the demons refer to the demons who have become older and more powerful.
Those with more than a certain amount of power are said to be demons, and those who are less than that are demons.
Allen, who remembered the previous life, divided dolphins and whales by size, but I wondered if it was a close criterion.
It seems that the overall status is 10,000 or less for the demons and more for the demons.
However, since the appearance of the Demon King, the reason has been destroyed, and the number of recent demons with a status of around 30,000 has increased.
The reason was' I can't say '.
That's right. It's my demon, Rico Oron.... did the First Angel Meruth become one of you? This needs to be reported.
Turning his back on a pillar of blue light, the demon Ricolon answered.
He was dressed in light clothes and shared his view of where Meruth was fighting, but it was pretty quick.
The demon Rikaolon associates Meruth and Allen who attacked the other day with their visit.
Afterwards, I fought again several times to investigate what kind of demon I was, but I couldn't win.
What is this blue pillar of light?
A pole of light illuminated from a magical instrument or something like a basin is stretching through the ceiling.
Allen thinks that the "altar" that enshrines something is the closest expression.
Allen does not initiate the attack.
All we need now is information.
I don't know what happened, so I try to get some information.
"Hmm, you can't say that, can you? Are you Allen and his associates? Master Cubel told me. Everything seems to be spinning."
The demon with the face of Lycaon makes his enemies smile with his canine teeth.
It doesn't seem to tell me even if I ask you a question.
There may be a command not to give Allen any information.
(Well, Meruth didn't tell me anything. Let's get started)
I see. I can't help it. Then let me destroy it. "
What?
Meruth, now! Destroy it!!
Huh!? Stupid! But!!
Meruth suddenly appears behind Rickoron.
And try to destroy something suspicious that you're not sure about.
I never thought I'd try to destroy the altar in the middle of the conversation.
However, Rika Oron specialized in speed.
Before Meruth's fist hits the altar in one go, Rickoron catches Meruth's fist.
"The back is empty."
"Hmm. So, you're going to do something about it? It's too late."
At the same time as Meruth attacked the altar, Allen grabbed the sword and cut it on the back of Likaoron, but he twisted his body on the brink.
"Ha ha ha!
And while holding Meruth's fist, he kicked Allen's flank.
