"It's terrible!

As you can see from the Pope's surprised expression and words, the captain knight who fired the miasma-infused slash at us and the knights around him were sunk one by one, helplessly by the fierce onslaught of Master and Lionel.

It seems that I had completely misunderstood Master and Lionel's true abilities.

The master spun around and rushed into the knights, making the most of his skills to unleash a series of flowing blows, and then left before there was an opening.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to do, and how you're going to do it.

Lionel holds a large shield to receive attacks and wields a large sword that is covered in flames.

Compared to his master, Lionel's fighting style seems simple, but it is vicious: the attacker is blown away, and a mass of slashes and flames flies out from his greatsword, causing an explosion when it lands.

The only thing that makes it seem so terrible is that they attack each other without any consideration, as if they think that everyone other than themselves is an enemy.

They seem to think that it's worse if they can't avoid each other because the attacks are indirect, not direct.

I guess that's what trust is all about for those two. I don't envy them by any means, but .......

In the event that you are not familiar with the situation, this scene looks like a bandit breaking into the castle and rampaging against the knights.

In the meantime, the two of them seemed to have destroyed the knights, so we lifted our magic and walked over to Master and Lionel.

It was slower than I had expected. It looks like you got something out of it. ......

The Master's gaze turned to the Pope and Lumina-san behind me.

I'm glad you're okay first of all.

I'm not sure what to make of this, but I think it's a good idea.

I'm not sure if there's anything wrong with the knights from the looks of it. When I looked at them, I saw that a large amount of miasma was flowing towards the knights.

I'm not sure what to do.

I'm not sure if it's possible, but it does happen. And when it does, it's slightly enhanced.

Master, please stop looking so happy.

There exists a large hole that is the source of that flowing miasma.

The source of the miasma was so strong that they could recognize it without any special blessings, and the light from the tracker's eyes indicated that there was an evil god in the source that Lionel had told them about.

Maybe it's a labyrinth.

However, there was something that needed to be done first in order to investigate the big hole.

You may not even be aware that you are human beings, and you may just be under the control of an evil god. But I will remember that you were noble knights with a noble will to protect the country.

In the event that you have any questions regarding where and the best way to get in touch with us, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Then I made a new vow to the knights, who disappeared in a pale flame. 

Someone hugged me gently from behind.

Thank you, Lucile.

It seems to have been Lumina, but I felt a little saved by her words more than anything else.

I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who can't help you. 

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

I'm not sure what to make of this.

I explained that I had purified the knights.

"Yes, Pope. Unlike the knights and soldiers outside, their souls were missing, like moving corpses reconstructed by the miasma. There was no way to save them .......

In the end, the only thing that mattered was that they were all dead.

I'm not sure what to make of it.

I'm not sure what to make of it.

I'm not sure what to make of this. 

"Luciel, did you just say Pope?

I understood from Master's words that the two of them were acquainted with Lumina-san but not with the Pope.

'Eh, ah, yes. This is the Pope, the apex of the Holy Shrour Republic and Church Headquarters.

Then Master and Lionel tried to kneel down, but the Pope stopped them immediately.

The Pope stopped them. "Mistress does not need the courtesy of a vassal. What kind of magic is that?

What kind of magic would that be?

What kind of magic is it? - Lumina already has it, but it is a strengthening spell against the evil gods.

I thought they would nod immediately upon hearing the Pope's words.

"Then Luciel's magic is enough for now.

I also have no intention to take on that magic now.

But they didn't agree and declined.

I'm sure the Pope who proposed this was not expecting it.

The power of the evil god will not turn you into undead, nor will the miasma weaken you!

I told him in a slightly louder voice.

I'm sorry, but I'm not willing to take any magic that Luciel hasn't already taken.

I'm sorry, but I'm not willing to take any magic that Luciel hasn't already taken.

"We also have our pride as warriors. We already know that Luciel-sama's magic does not weaken us from the miasma.

I'm not sure what to do, but I'd like to prove to you that I'm not the same person as I was at ...... when I made the mistake of turning undead just by being touched without being able to do anything about it.

I felt more like a belief than a determination in Master and Lionel.

Who are you going to prove it to? Luciel? Or to the evil gods? This is a battle for the survival of mankind, remember?

If we are defeated, there will be no future for humanity. And who are you going to prove it to? It will be yourself and those who were not able to participate in the battle this time.

When Master looked at me and said that, I felt like he was telling me that I didn't have to be the only one responsible.

I'm sure you'll be able to understand that I'm not the only one who has a problem with this.

So in order to help Luciel, I want to give him the power to fight the evil gods.

"Pope, Luciel has received a special blessing, but to us, it is the result of the desperate efforts of an ordinary young man. So we want to prove that we too can resist the evil gods if we work hard. 

Lionel's words almost made me cry a little.

I felt that their will was firm and that I had no choice but to convince them to overturn it.

Luciel, you must convince them.

Immediately, the Pope sent for me.

"Master, Lionel, thank you for thinking of me. I won't take the reinforcement spell now, but if I face the evil god and find it unmanageable, I'll take it, right?

"Yes, that's right. And of course it's not just being stubborn. This is the only way to strengthen the magic. I don't think there's any risk to the surgeon.

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

As expected of an adventurer's guild master and former imperial general. I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not.

In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at our own website.

I'm not sure what to make of that.

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I think it's a good idea. I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out. I'm sure you'll agree with me that it's impossible to be strengthened when you haven't faced the evil gods and there are no signs of them.

The mistress lost. I'm sure you'll agree that it's impossible to be strengthened when you don't have any signs of it.

I think he was influenced by them. Now, it's time to follow the light of the tracker's eyes. The evil god should be ahead of us.

"Right. Master and squire, take care of them.

"Yes.

Thus, the five of us followed the light and stepped into the big hole that Lionel had mentioned was the source of the miasma.
