Verg, who was supposed to be incarcerated by Nokia, was on a hill not far from Rain's house.

Why am I here?

You were supposed to be caught, but when did you get out?

Verg wonders a lot, but I'll put the mystery behind me.

We need to retreat now.

When Mina is captured and it becomes difficult to recapture, we have to reconsider our plan from scratch.

To report the situation to Reese and Monica, we went to a faraway place...

"Whoa...!?"

Suddenly, there is a severe pain in your chest.

As I slowly lowered my gaze, my hand grew.

"What the hell... is this..."

Muroro-san

I heard a voice behind me.

Ignoring the pain, Velga twisted her body and pulled out her arm to pierce herself.

Jump as big as you can and keep your distance from whoever's behind you.

"You..."

"Hmm? I didn't expect you to die from a single blow." Oh, my God, I'm fading too. When I was younger, I was sure that I would put down a demon race of this magnitude. "

Gray-haired, straight hair.

A shaman's coat based on white.

A sacred scepter held opposite a bloody wet hand.

Altrius Greygom.

There was a man at the top of the church.

”C 'mon... when did you get behind me...”

"Oh dear, I hope you don't stare at me like that." I'm the one who rescued you from subspace. "

What?

"Well... after that, you're going to sacrifice it for me, so your end is inevitable."

"What are you doing..."

"To activate Zero-type prison, you need a Tsuji." Demons like you are a better material than ever. "

"What the hell have you been saying?"

Velga ignored her painful chest and attacked Arturius.

With the shadow as a blade, I tried to cut Arturius's body into pieces... but it was slow.

It dodges all of them and gets a counter with a cane.

Haha

"Oh dear, it's a good-energetic pupa." Do we need to be a little weaker? "

"Guuu!?"

As if to do the right thing, Arturius pierced Verg's leg with his cane.

Cut off the flesh and pierce the bones.

Dull sounds and screams overlapped.

"That's it. Let's start the ritual."

"You... what the hell are you doing...?"

"Hmm. Is it terrible to die knowing nothing?" However, there was nothing to worry about. You will be a noble sacrifice. [M] I don't care that my people sold me. ”

"Sold...?"

"Oh? Didn't you notice?" You came to Horizon, and you and your friends were sold. At my invitation... what did you say? Yes, Reese. My deal with her led me to offer her as an offering. ”

Verg was stunned.

I don't know what Arturius is talking about.

I know, but I don't want to admit it.

I've worked for the future of the demons, for my people.

I've done everything.

This time, I've also been working on a backstage operation here to corrupt a human named Mina into a demon race.....

But were they all lies?

Before that, it was embedded in Reese's plan, and he and his people were supposed to die?

"This is such a joke...!!"

"It would be an honor."

Arturius laughs.

Seeing Verg desperate, he looked happy and sad.

With a look that doesn't seem very human... I laugh.

"By your sacrifice, Mina Lusaje becomes a Saintess." Or... so-so. "

"This...!"

Verg tries to fight back, but everything is shut down.

The ratings are different.

Even if you're human, you're top-notch.

Even if I bound all the demons around me, I wouldn't be an enemy.

But that's natural.

Arturius is a man at the top of the church.

It is not only a political ability, but also a fighting force that can overcome actual battles.

"Goodbye, I will not forget your noble sacrifice."

Arturius' staff slapped Verg's chest.

As if it was a signal, Verg's movements stopped.....

The body is wrapped in light and disappears.

And in a few seconds.

The city is enveloped in light, as if a chain reaction had taken place.

The Zero Prison is complete.

Everything in this light is stripped of its physical and magical power, and eventually dies of debilitation.

You can't even get out of here.

"Now you're ready. Zero-type prison is the work of the demons, and then guides Mina. If you use her to break the barrier, the stigma will be cleared. The authority of the Church will be restored."

Arturius laughed.

"If Mina doesn't obey... then you'll be a noble sacrifice." Dedicate yourselves and break the barrier for the sake of the people. Oh, what a beautiful story. "

After all.....

A man named Arturus Greygom was a despicable man who thought only of himself and the Church.
