"What is that pillar of light?
"Ah, that is definitely the direction of the sacred capital. Could it be that [the light of judgment] was used...."
"... you didn't make it? Damn it, Naja's moving faster than I thought."
"Let's hurry, Ars. We must hurry to the Holy City."
"No, Archbishop Paul. If [Light of Judgment] was activated there, then there is no doubt that Naja is there. It's dangerous to approach inadvertently."
"But then, the Holy City!!
"Please calm down. You idiot, even if you come straight ahead, you could be attacked. Anyway, we need to be careful not to expose ourselves from here and see what happens to the Holy City."
I even drove Valkyrie from Fontana down south.
I was able to run through a number of aristocracy and knights without any particular trouble under the name of the Order of the Holy Knights for the Church to Save the Holy City.
I was given time to prepare in advance, but in total, I think I could have come near the Holy City in the shortest possible time.
However, it seems that the Holy City will soon be visible, and [Light of Judgment] has been used for it.
Archbishop Paul is a little disturbed, but I think about a lot of things.
If I'd been traveling in Valkyrie without getting ready to go down from the start, would I have made it?
No, no, no. Was it bad time to give a speech like the pre-departure ceremony?
I think that something was wrong with my behavior.
But they're all meaningless at the moment.
It is no longer the only fact that we did not make it in time, and no matter how much we look for the cause there, there is no way to change the current situation.
Then we'll have to switch our minds and do what we can at this time.
At least, as I told Archbishop Paul, it is not good to rush to the sacred capital where Najah will be.
It will be important to be vigilant first.
Communicators, contact your home country. It is possible that the Holy City has been destroyed. Tell them to be prepared to deal with anything. "
"Yes, sir."
"Alright, let's go a little further and use binoculars to get to where the Holy City is going. Find out more about the Holy City....."
"Hey, Ars, this feels like..."
"... oh, no. It feels the same as that time. Perhaps the seal of the Holy City has been lifted and the immortals revived, Tanatos."
"Oh, it's the same as it feels in the woods. There must have been an immortal first."
"Wait a minute, both of you. An immortal has appeared? Are you sure?
"Probably, Archbishop Paul. I'm not sure, but I feel closer to the immortal skeleton that I encountered in the northern forest, but more powerful than that. Perhaps the seal of the Holy City has been lifted."
"... what a thing. I can't believe this is really going to happen...."
"What do you want, Archbishop Paul?
"Let's go. We need to see what happened to the Holy City."
"I see. Now, let's get to the point where we can see from afar, as I said earlier. After that, we'll think about it."
"I see. No, wait a minute. Think about it just in case. Let's put Purify on everyone here.
"Ah, yes. Thank you, Archbishop Paul."
The Knights of the Holy Order stopped moving when they saw the pillars of light rising in heaven.
Archbishop Paul used [Purification] on everyone who belonged there.
It is a miracle of healing the body invaded by the uncleanness without causing the unclean to scatter.
And then you put it not only on everyone's body, but also on the weapon you have.
The weapon rots when it is hit by the magic of the immortal, but this [Purification] also allows you to use the weapon without corruption.
However, if it is the King of the Immortals who is resurrected and the inheritance is correct, it has an unclean magic that exceeds the protection of this [Purification], so I don't know how far it goes.
But I was prepared for everyone the best I could.
After confirming that, I took the lead and drove the Valkyrie to the point where I could see the Holy City.
"Over there? There's nothing like a sacred capital or a city... but has everything been converted to salt?"
"Probably. The terrain from here has been seen several times before. You can't see the Holy City from here. There is no doubt that the Holy City is extinct."
"Are you all right, Archbishop Paul?
"Yeah, it's okay, Ars. I can't just be upset. So, is that the Marshall Mercenaries over there? He seems to be running away....."
"That's right... Something's wrong."
"What does that mean, Ars?
"The intense presence I just felt is now gone. But, ah, there was. Is that the immortal over there? Looks like a mercenary, but he fought it and lost."
"That's true. I've never seen it before, but is it immortal? The mercenaries seem to be fleeing from a corrupt and rotten opponent."
"Hmm, that's strange. There is no King of the Immortals. What should we do? The mercenaries fleeing the immortals may know what happened."
"Ars, can I ask you a favor? We don't know where the Immortal King is, but we can't let the other immortals go. We need to take them down."
"Yes, I see. All right, everybody listen up. We will defeat the immortals, retrieve the mercenaries, and find out what happened. Ready?"
"" "" "" Ooh!!
I don't know what's going on anymore.
I think the Holy City was destroyed by [the light of judgment].
But if the intense pressure I felt afterwards belonged to the King of the Immortals, I don't feel it at all now.
What was even stranger was that no matter how much I looked, there was no one who looked like Najah.
If Najah destroyed the Holy City and the King of the Immortals appeared as a result, it would be strange not to see them both.
I thought it would be dangerous to show up without knowing what was still lurking, but there was still too little information.
For that reason, I decided to expose myself to the immortals in order to help the mercenaries who were being chased and fled by the immortals, even with the slightest possibility of listening.
