Skeleton Knight, in Another World

The power of the Pope

Eventually the sky over the head of Soulia, the king's capital, began to darken in the darkness that marked the end of the seventh day, and the shadows of the building stretched long and the alley between them was visited by the hour of night one foot early.

I stand on the roof of a taller building than my surroundings on a corner of the city and look up at its sky.

Shake off the thunder that was wrapped around the sword body of "The Sword of the Holy Thunder (Karadborg)" and shoulder it to exhale.

If you look under your eyes, you'll see a large number of soldiers splitting up into several units and searching the city.

[Dimensional Walking Method (Dimensional Move)] has also been used to give priority to crusading spidermen who are big players, or has not done much damage to soldiers moving to Wangdu defense.

The Spider-Man was able to find the giant as soon as he searched from high altitude.

Moreover, the fall of Cardinal Palermo, the tower of command, also disrupted their control, making it easier to destroy each and every one.

For now, I think the spiderman I noticed could have been roughly eliminated, but he won't be able to open the First Street Wall City Gate for another few days.

Soulia, the king's capital, has a considerable area of property, and there are countless buildings lined up in the city walls, and soldiers and guards are overwhelmingly short of manpower to search for and destroy the undead.

This is unlikely to end long after a sweep battle has been completed to bring residents back to the city and not implement man-made sea tactics.

"Kee-yu......"

Looking down the city and watching the soldiers struggle, I heard a pitiful squeal from Ponta, who was sticking on my helmet.

It's time for dinner.

That's why I decided to cut off today's search.

"Is it time to go back and see how Lord Arian and Lord Chiyome are doing?

"Ki-yun! Kiyun!"

When I told Ponta that I was going back, my tail, which had not been healthy until earlier, suddenly moved.

Using the [Dimensional Walking Method (Dimensional Move)] and traveling with Ponta to the center of the city to convey the roof of the house, a view of the bonfire was placed along the First Street Wall and the fire was lit.

A short distance from there we descend from the roof to the street and walk straight to the city gate.

When you say hello to a soldier who packs a watch in turns, the opponent drops you off on an upright immobilization.

Is that reaction a good trend or a bad one?

As we slip between them and dive into the small general gate next to the city gate and enter the old town of Wang Du, two figures strikingly find such a side and speak up.

"It was a long time ago, wasn't it?

Good day, Lord Ark.

Arian and Chiyome.

"Um, this king's capital, it's bigger than I thought, so maybe it'll take a few more days. By the way, how was Lord Arian and the others? Did you find anyone who was mixed up in the church?

After the rendezvous, after telling Arian about the progress of the immortal (undead) sweep on this side, this time asking for their tail, the two glanced at each other, one strapped his shoulder and the other shook his neck to the side to show.

"I saw one of the church officials, but there was no sign of the immortal (undead) getting mixed up. Just..."

Arian told me that it was empty with a slightly tired voice, and now Chiyome opened his mouth to say something that bothered him to take over.

"─ I just found out that I don't see some church officials. Did you lose your life in the chaos during the raid, or dazzled Lord Pallmo's whereabouts on the occasion of his takeover… details are unknown"

Not all of the several church officials who disappeared at some point are expected to be certain that one of them was an immortal (undead) intelligence agent.

"We should assume that it leaked to the side of the Hilk nation, as did this upside down in our kingdom and the Northern kingdom, perhaps during the Tadient..."

Both of them nod in agreement with their own assumptions.

Cardinal Palermo was aware of the characteristics of those who debated Cardinal Charos on the southern continent.

Actions are expected from the Hilk countries for some time to aggressively eliminate the perception that surveillance will be tight or an obstacle to their planning.

When did you become a celebrity, even as a result of your own actions?

Arian wrinkled between her eyebrows, gently twisting it with her index finger.

"The Pope of the Hilk Nation? wonder what the hell it's all about? I'm not supposed to be dealing with a small group like us anymore."

and she sighs small with her golden eyes pointed at her giraffe this way.

I laughed small with my shoulders clasped at Arian's words.

"Sure, it should be..."

Each of the three of us here has the power to pull it out - and we'll be able to deal with some things.

"Ki-yun!

─ Yeah, it was three and one.

With the soft hair under Ponta's chin - and still things will come that these three can't handle - I vaguely think of that.

Even if it's possible to deal with the problem in front of us, we're overwhelmed at a time when there's only three of us and one of us.

With that in mind, her gaze wandered through the universe and gave the appearance of not being here.

"Lord Chiyome, what's wrong?

Her cat ears reacted quickly to such an inquiry on this side, and her gaze was refocused. As usual, she tilted her little nipple with a softened face that did not put much expression on the table.

"No - it's not a big deal..."

I glance into Chiyome's pale eyes as Ariane gazes at her, saying so much and gazing at her.

The two gaze intertwined, slightly before Chiyome opened his mouth small.

"My fellow citizens imprisoned by the Patriarchate, were they among the immortal (undead) soldiers I had on my hands?

To her words, myself and Arian looked at each other.

Armored soldiers who make up the majority of the Legion of the Undead, whose contents are the same skeleton as their own. It is very likely that the material would have been collected from human bones, or corpses.

If that overwhelming number were to be aligned, it would be based on the race's largest number of people, but I can't say enough that none of them were Beasts or Elves.

Anyway, Hilkism has doctrines that exclude the Beasts and Elves from human society.

What happens to them who are eliminated and imprisoned - I don't even bother to say it.

"I don't mean to be too frivolous, but it would be better for them to send you with our hands if you were to follow someone's life and wander around the earth."

Chiyome was silently listening to the other side of the word, dropping his gaze in his own hands.

Is she thinking about Sasquatch, who was her brother?

Her family, who had been manipulated to bury Chiyome with their own hands, was probably the most hateful vendetta for her.

Worried about Chiyome like that, when Ariane gently touched her shoulder, she shut up and looked up at Ariane and moved her cat ears busily.

Did you tune in to Chiyome's cat ear movements, and Ponta moves her ears punched in the same way.

It was a place of silence. There, someone's little laugh soothed the air on the spot.

It was Zahar, Princess Lil's escort knight, who had spoken out on such occasions.

"Were you here? All I can say today is thank you, truly helped by you. Whispering, the royal palace cook prepares an arm-wielded supper. Of course, as your lord Ariane has requested, we have planned to be able to dine in your room."

To that Zahar word, Ponta swells her chest hair to expectations and rings.

As I turned my gaze toward Arian, she was nodding with a little doya face.

To do have dinner seats with someone else, you need to drink the Dragon Crown Tree (Road Crown) Spirit Springs to undo your skeletal body, and the effect could cut along the way, as before.

Then the dinner had to decline, but this would allow me to enjoy the meals made by the royal palace cooks of the people at will.

Imagining a post-labor meal, I felt like I could hear bugs coming from around my stomach that I don't have right now.

"I arranged for them to go get people some time after dinner. First of all, permission has been officially granted by the King, so it will be possible to view the treasure trove. Ask now once, do you mind just browsing?

Zahar glances at this look in such a way that he doesn't understand right now, but Chiyome nodded back forcefully at it and put in a supplement on Arian's silent behalf.

"Thanks, I have no problem browsing. I'm just looking for clues to what I'm looking for..."

Zahar cut the words short and nodded, "Really?" to her words.

It's not even a matter for him to step in any further. I guess he decided, he pulled out a young soldier who was holding back behind his back and snuggled that back.

"This person will guide you to your room."

When Zahar finished saying just that, he set aside a soldier who would say hello in the form of upright immobility and would meet one person to follow the scene.

As far as I'm concerned, it's about him up there. I guess there's a lot to do.

We follow behind soldiers who act as guides in tense, karaki doll-like movements.

I wonder, nevertheless, who exactly is the Pope of the Hilk Nation?

In terms of proven competence, the Pope seems to be like a Necromancer.

Are you being sarcastic, such as the Necromancer pope, or should I say it's a witty setting? But I can't tell you about someone else who does the Holy Knight in the form of a skeleton.

Moreover, the Pope is not like a necromancer (necromancer) who is often used in games to summon immortal (undead) monsters to fight, but rather the ability to use his own immortal (undead) and treat it as a pawn until it is destroyed and purified.

It would be nice if the undead (undead) who attacked this king's capital were all army, but given what happened in Tazient, that might be a faint hope.

─ ─ There are so many unreasonable beings in this world at all.

Yes, I was alone inside and exhaled a loud sigh.
