Episode V: Marx Pietro Sandalfon

Prior to the showdown with the Demon King's Army, support supplies were sent from all countries to us and the Brave Party.

Through the Patriarchate, which was closest to the area where the party was based, supplies could be delivered… should have been.

But the troops that were carrying that support will be raided by the Demons.

'A Talisman of Substitution' that replaces fatal wounds on your shoulders.

Just equip it, and a barrier will be put up to protect the user at all times: "God's Guardianship is Here (Wall of Sanctuary)".

Beginning with these, national treasure magic grants (magic items) were lost during the raid.

At that time, the troops of the Cathedral Knight, who were in charge of transporting support supplies, were also mostly dead.

As a result, we decided to go to Demon King's Castle without getting the Magic Grant (Magic Item) that we were supposed to receive.

Well, it's a simple story.

The Lucifinas must have gotten in the way of "The Talisman of Substitution" and "The Guardian of God Here" that I was going to use.

If a target is equipped with something like this, it won't be easy to kill.

So George and Lily, who were captains of the Cathedral Knights, turned their hands.

They were assigned to transport units, carrying their own men, dressed as demonic raids and taking away magic items.

His subordinate's name is Marx Pietro Sandalfon.

He is now the man of the Knights of the Cathedral and Captain of the Second Regiment.

Looks like Dionys and the others bought the Magic Grant (Magic Item) for a high price from Marx.

So Dionis had the 'Talisman of Substitution'.

It seems that other magic grants (magic items) are also held by Lewsas and Lucifina.

That's what I heard when I tortured him in the Dead Swamp Labyrinth.

To be honest, there's no direct involvement between me and Marx.

While I was staying in the Patriarchate, I had a few conversations or just one training session with Lily and the others in their introduction.

Unlike other traitors, I guess you weren't planning on killing me.

Even if Marx didn't cooperate, Lily and the others could have taken a magic grant (a magic item) by another means.

But because of his betrayal, a lot of people in the transport unit died.

Some of them were men who fought together many times, and likened themselves to me as heroes.

Marx killed it for his own benefit.

Purely, there is also the frustration that someone I know was killed.

... No.

You don't have to give me a reason for that.

Revenge on Marx, no need to look for a reason.

- For whatever reason, Marx betrayed me.

That alone is sufficient as a reason for revenge.

Other than that, I don't need anything.

I made up my mind about the orphanage.

He said he would not compromise (...) on revenge (...).

I don't need a reason.

It has nothing to do with revamping.

There is no one left, the traitor kills them all.

No matter who they are.

"That... how did we get here...?

"Sure, you disposed of the target a while back."

"... oh. Well, I'll have to go report it."

Three brainwashed men walk out to Marx to report completion of the mission.

He seemed to have a complete grasp of the city's geography, and went on without hesitation through the unpopular back alley.

"All right, let's go"

With Elphi, I'll follow the three of them right behind me.

"Is it okay to walk so close?

"No problem. Even if you look at me and Elfi, you're brainwashing them like you don't think."

"I don't think it's suspicious." Calm down, Olivia and the other woman, you knitted a hell of a lot of magic. "

"... sort of. He was a garbage man, but I'll make the most of this magic."

More than a dozen minutes walking in the back alley, the threesome still doesn't go to the 'Holy Light District', but walks the 'Commercial District'.

On the contrary, he went inside a lonely inn in the corner of the compartment.

"Please have a nice room. A quiet, sleepy room."

"... I understand"

The innkeeper nodded and took the little key out of the counter.

When the three receive it, they walk to the back of the inn without paying.

"... oh. I've read it in a book. Is that a secret cipher or something? You have romance."

Follow the three of them, to erase the signs and not be noticed by the innkeeper with Elphi, who shines his eyes.

When the men unlocked the metal door in the deepest part of the inn, they entered it.

Soon, we'll follow suit.

"Damn, it's a hassle going through here anyway."

"You don't have a choice. If you try to get into Holy Light District, the knight will see what's going on."

"Don't slap me for nothing. Let's go."

As the man cast his magic over part of the floor, the stairs appeared making noises with the gacon.

"Since I started acting with Io, I've been able to relate unusually to the underground."

"... it's not my fault"

As we followed the men down the stairs, the aisle was wide open.

There are no lights, and the three go on illuminating their surroundings with sorcery.

"... I see"

I guess Marx and the others are using this underground passage to get to and from the 'Commercial District' and the 'Holy Light District' without being witnessed by people.

I guess this aisle was used in frequent disappearances in the Sacred Capital.

"When it comes to hiding something, it's convenient to have a hidden room or passageway in the basement."

My vengeful subjects were always hiding something from me.

It's natural to take a closer look in the basement.

"... that would be nice"

Perfect, Elfi sticks his body together.

"... oh, bad"

Elfi didn't like the dark.

Soon, I'll light you up with magic.

Elfi's body tremor stopped, but he won't try to get away from me.

"If it gets out of the way, it'll be a hassle. Io, don't leave me."

"Oh, I get it."

I followed the three of them and traveled the underground passage for about twenty minutes.

After a while, I saw a great junction ahead of my sight.

At the end of the clear junction, a large iron door is visible.

"You're the type of junction that physically blocks the way, that's"

"How to disarm it?

"Simply destroy... or utter a set wording, right? Naturally, if you destroy it, you pass it on to the sorcerer."

"It's like a seal in a treasure trove in the kingdom."

As Elfi gave me the outline of the junction I saw with the Devil's Eye, the men uttered something to Boso.

Looks like Elfi's saying the decided language.

"Let's give 'em a break."

When the men finished uttering their euphemisms, the junction that was blocking the way was extinguished.

Before the junction is stretched again, the men are followed inside the junction.

And it followed inside the iron door that the men unlocked.

"... you've changed the scenery"

At the end of the door was a small room just like earlier.

Perhaps this is already the 'Holy Light District'.

Maybe this is the basement of Marx's mansion.

"That's dusty. Damn, clean up as good as you can. My beautiful body is dusty."

Elfi's right, it's dusty in the room.

However, it seemed to be used frequently and there was less dust around the door.

Again, this aisle seems to be commonly used.

In the small room there is a door that leads further ahead.

The men used the key further and opened the door.

It's called the kingdom, it's called this door, it's pretty mindful.

"... hey, that was too late"

When the men opened the door, they heard a man from the other side.

We'll stay in the room and see what's going on out there.

Apparently, there are two armed men standing in front of the door.

"I'm sorry. I'm in a bit of a hurry."

"Mr. Marx was upset, wasn't he? They're coming in the middle of the night, so they might have to hurry."

"I don't know about that one. Hurry up."

Besides watching, there are no boundaries or traps.

After figuring out the opponent's power, we went out the door.

…… Oh, hey, what are these guys? "

The man on guard is surprised to see us.

…… What is it?

The threesome is flattened by the effects of brainwashing.

The nature relaxed the men on the lookout for a moment.

"- Huh."

Poke through the gap and strike the two watchmen.

The two attacked had no voice and fell to the ground trying to sleep.

I lifted the two of them up and kept them in a chair that was near the door.

Now, pah, you'll look asleep.

Well, I'm going to get things done before the noise occurs, so it's unnecessary work.

"Now... is it time to face a man like Marx? Have you thought about the routine arr (...) already?

Some of them.

"Anyway, I guess you're thinking of something hell again"

"... I don't know"

Well, I'm thinking some great.

There are many ways to make you suffer or despair for a long time, but not so much that can be achieved.

If it's something I can do with my hands, my options will be quite limited.

In the meantime, just choose the best.

…………

Second, I thought about it after I went back to the original world.

Subjectively or objectively, I'm not decent right now.

To the point where it seems impossible to live a normal life, like before you came to this world.

Maybe since I started killing demons and demons as heroes, my resistance to killing creatures had faded.

And Taga came off completely when those guys betrayed me.

It would be the impact of the creations we were seeing on Earth to come up with a brutal way of revenge, but it's anomalous at a time when we can put it into practice.

Because if a regular person sees it, he can take revenge that makes his chest worse.

"I guess those worries were above acceptance from the beginning?

Like breaking the thought, Elphi's words.

"... every time, Elfi. I thought you were reading my mind.

"Fool. I don't know what you think of yourself, but you think too much on your face."

"... do you?

I don't think so.

"Oh, you're so out. Even as you look at me, the thought of 'Master Elphiszark is beautiful and wise' is leaking in vain."

"I never thought of that as enough for once?

"... when they say it in the face, the boulder scratches me too"

Anyway, Elfi says.

"Trouble is only after things are done. Wouldn't you?

"... oh"

"You're just like me, strong in your will, but brittle in your spirit. Talk to me whenever you have any anxiety."

... Right.

My mentality can't be too strong.

"... thanks"

A small thank you made Niyali and Elfi smile.

"Hmm, can't you hear me? Say it again. Look, look, look."

"Impossibly depressing"

"Yep..."

As soon as we had that conversation.

The men followed me to the end of the room.

We saw the sight of a bad chest.
