Originally a native religion that was narrowly told only to the minorities living on the border, the Church of Lowen, where the first emperor who founded the Elsas Magic Empire was a native and enthusiastic follower of that minority, was therefore ordained as a state religion, thanks to which he expanded his forces with the prosperity of the empire and, at its peak, to a major religious organization with the majority of the imperial people as followers.

Initially, when it was laid down in the State religion, it focused solely on increasing the number of believers by preaching about the teachings of Lowen to those who earnestly preached and sought salvation, but as part of the preaching, it began to gradually change the purpose of the Church's activities from serving the faithful to making a profit for themselves when it began actively collecting proclamations from the faithful by organizing its own private units (later seven Virgins and the Knights of the Church) outside the State Army to protect the faithful, and now after a long period of time, the Church is completely corrupt.

Despite being in a priestly position, it was overflowing with those who surrounded women and fattened their private bellies with a cloth, and those who behaved tyrannically against the backdrop of the force of the Knights of the Church, turning them into malicious things that were not similar to the former Church, which was proud of its spirit of self-sacrifice and fraternity and was full of cleanliness.

Because of that state of affairs, the tragedy now descending on them was perhaps the test brought about by Lowen, who lamented the current state of the Church.

Most of all, though the trial seemed somewhat too harsh for the Church.

"- Well, shall we all come?"

Built on palace grounds in a way that closely resembles the style commonly found in western Europe on Earth, a particularly important and valuable building in the Empire, both culturally and historically - the Cathedral, the main mountain of the Church of Lowen.

Celisia floated in the face after a job taking Adele, the Seven Virgins, and her armed own followers in front of that splendid gate, but there was a hell of a picture of the snort spreading across her whereabouts.

"Oh, poor thing..."

So grunts Adele as she bends her mouth to the letter to in front of Hell Painting and laughs bitterly after Celisia.

The gates of the magnificent cathedral of brick were blown up by the explosion magically unleashed by Celicia, and also the Knights of the Church and the Saints, the faithful, who had lined up in front of the gates and were waiting for Celicias, holding cluttered weapons inside the gates and trying to resist at all, were wounded and wounded in the explosion, falling down here and there.

"Hey, are you glad we didn't catch these guys?

Adele asked Celicia as she proceeded Zunzun as she stepped on rubble and flesh pieces without worrying about the tragic sight that would make her want to cover her eyes.

"Yeah, the Knights of the Church here aren't worth as much as a remnant, a throwaway pawn. And even if we catch the followers who show opposition in this situation - Gohon. It's going to take us a while to convert, so we don't have to bother catching them because we're out of hand to disable them now. And if the number of believers is enough, we've got enough."

"So is that. But some of them seem lucky to have survived, but what about them?

"You won't mind leaving it. I didn't have to know if it was normal. Now it's war time. Besides, there is no mercy for the gentle Kazuya, the one who leaves the blade untouched."

Keeping the hand of a dying knight kicked out for help blocking the hand going while he was exchanging words with Adele, Celisia leaves the dying knight in a verbal execution.

"Sure. Well then... let's just clear our errands and get back to Kazuya."

"Huh, right. If you clean it up quickly, you might get a reward."

While laughing back at the inspiring words of Adele, Celisia, with a harrowing look on her heart, went inside the cathedral to sever her ties to Lowenism once again.

"Squad one, take control of the quarters. Squad two, take control of the dining room. Squad 3 and 4 are coming with us."

"" "" Ha!!

"... I thought there might be some more resistance"

"That's a clap. I knew it, but it felt like the church was falling."

In addition to the remnants of the Church Knights, who occasionally appear ahead of the armed followers of the Nagata Church who had been brought here, Celia and Adele go further into the cathedral's work of domination as they face to face with their only priests and monks who, without shame or appearance, manage to escape in order to help them, restrain the nuns who were just trembling with terror and bring them out of the cathedral, forbidden to self-harm by doctrine.

"Well, here's the real deal. I don't care how you get up, you can't take them down with a single string, so don't be alarmed."

"Ah."

"" "" "" "" Ha "" "" "

Celisia once again speaks to Adele and the Seven Virgins, who have reached their destination without any noticeable problems.

"The 3rd and 4th squads move as they should here.... again, in case we lose - you know what I mean?

"I understand."

"The entire break-in squad will use this martyr that Celsia gave us to intentionally unleash a magic rampage, and we will all wipe out the cathedral and the enemy."

In response to Celisia's inquiry, the faithful who are lighting the flames of fanaticism in their dark, sitting eyes naturally say terrible things.

"Great. I'll go then"

Celisia takes a deep, deep breath and pushes forcefully through the door in front of her, just in case she confirms her plans for action assuming the situation with the followers who were holding back behind her.

At the end of the door, opened with the sound of a giggly hinge, was a huge chapel that accounted for the majority of the cathedral.

On one side of the ceiling, the wording contained in the Bible of Lowen was painted as a painting, and the columns supporting that ceiling were decorated with elaborate golden decorations.

And the glow of warm fire lit by sunlight and candlesticks that shine through the stained glass illuminates the chapel creates a solemn mood, overwhelming everything you see.

But Celisia, Adele and the Seven Virgin, who entered the chapel without such a mood to be confused, carefully glance at the person of interest when they find him across the central aisle between neatly arranged benches.

At the end of such their gaze was the hindsight of a man who was offering a deep prayer to the stone statue of Lowen the God placed on the communion table.

"Are you obsessed with praying and not aware of us? Can you kill me now... - Ohvotz!!

"Wait - already!! Adele said from by her side!!

Adele, who exposed her back indefensibly and saw as an opportune opportunity the appearance of a target that she hadn't noticed this way, swung through Celisia's stop, ran soundlessly through a straight stretching central passage, and finally jumped.

He wields a holy sword clenched with both hands and sets up an ambush to cut the target to pieces.

But the hexagonal magic barrier, where geometric demon squares float before Adele's holy sword reaches the target, unfolds behind the target, preventing Adele's slaughter in the air.

"Prevented!? But if my holy sword!! - Huh!?

The Holy Sword and the Magic Barrier crashed into each other. Adele stands still for a moment in the air, but activates the abilities of the Holy Sword to absorb the magic of the Magic Barrier during deployment.

Disable the Magic Barrier, laugh and continue the attack. Adele is slashed again to her target, but an unexpected situation strikes Adele.

"Mazz!?

Dozens of magic barriers unfold instantly, blocking Adele's path, and even approaching Adele as if that magic barrier had been shot out.

Adele was able to minimize damage by rounding her body and taking a defensive stance, but when she collided with the magic barrier, she couldn't help but get her momentum blown away like a golf ball.

"Itata...... dangerous. If you had eaten properly, you'd be dead."

"Adele!! Are you all right!?

"Oh, somehow."

Celisia immediately calls out when Adele, who was bounced off and slammed hard against the wall, stands up with a glitzy wipe with a small amount of blood flowing out of her mouth.

By the way, if Kazuya was watching this series of sights, is he the 10th!? There is no doubt that you were screaming.

"Brave Adele. It's too much of a joke to pull out a sword in the presence of the Lord in this holy house of God. But I'm sure the Lord will forgive even such a noble woman with generous heart. Remember to thank and pray to the Lord - well, that's good to know. You're back, my children. I've been worried about you."

Celisia glances at herself and those who delight in the return of the Seven Virgins with a harmless grin of human animals, even though she prevents Adele's slaughter, which she should not have seen, with the multiple defenses of the Magic Barrier, and furthermore attempts to kill Adele with a counter attack at the Magic Barrier.

"Virgin Mary Anne Belfast......"

And he shrugged with what an unspeakable emotion to include the name of an old woman dressed in Lowen monastic clothing and gently loosening the calm face of a wrinkle.
