We're going underground.

Church knights in hasty faces and down the stairs with Lilia and the others.

Nothing, I just have to hope there's not been a problem.

I give him my gaze as I rely on the light of the demonic stone hung on the wall.

"What do you want, Kiglas?"

"Oh, my God, Rude. You still suspect that?"

"Somewhat."

"Don't worry. I just want to be a hero. To be a hero, I became an adventurer. When I was alone, I remembered."

That's what he runs out with a softer grin.

... Now I'll just have to believe that word. Lilia is so wary of him, too.

"Where did you notice the Homuncles move?"

"Coincidence. One of them called me when it was rough. [M] A man-shaped monster that's rampant everywhere right now. That's probably the end of us, too."

... Sure, some of those guys were on their way here.

"Have you been speaking up?"

"It feels like I'm going to give you strength. You know that, right?"

... is it like it was Pockin 'Village?

To some extent, some of the guys were grasping their abilities and using them.

It reminds me of that, and I tie my mouth together.

"So you got the power, too?"

"No, I didn't do that. I was simply cooperating. So maybe I got caught off guard."

Make sure he shrugs his shoulders, and he raises his stubborn voice.

There was a main road just down the stairs.

There's a big door. I guess the room ahead is the one to make the line.

But there were two church knights near that door.

When they notice this one, they look at one eye.

Kiglas wrinkles between her eyebrows and reaches for her lower back sword. I'll jump my gaze on Lilia, too, and get in shape.

The only church knights who had not been able to grasp the situation on this occasion were those who followed in the guide.

The church knights guarding the door have turned one hand to this side.

At the same time, magic flew in.

Lily puts up barriers and prevents them.

One of them pokes in from the front, but Kiglas and Lilia stumbled.

"Hey, why... have you attacked me..."

"I guess it's because he's a homunculus made just like him."

Kiglas answers that.... you have no idea the difference.

All I could really tell was the demon stone on my chest.

A church knight who was following me snaps like that.

I break down the knight's clothes and show him the chest area.

Church knights hold their mouths and open their eyes.

Kiglas kicked open the door.

... There, a pile of bodies was rolling. There were tons of homunculus out there.

Face a horrible number of homunculus for a moment.... but we quickly turned our gaze to a certain place.

There, Rye and the ref were fighting. Rye masterfully manipulates the long sword and meets with the ref's double sword.

The five Virgins, including the Pope, were magical behind Rye.

They still seemed to be putting their magic into creating a bond.

No, maybe the kingdom itself can do it.

I guess we also need strength to maintain that.

There was something like a barrier to protect those Virgins.

... Rye looks like he's fighting to protect everyone. But the ref...

He has the same look as the ref, but he doesn't have the same kind look there as before.

Rye was wielding a long sword with his harsh eyes, but the ref makes it seem lightly prevented.

The ref released a kick to Rye, along with a light move.

"Gu!"

Rye is bounced to slip on the ground, kneeling.

"Leader of the homunculus! Beat it, I'm the hero!"

Kiglas lifts her sword as she screams.

With Kiglas screaming, Rye and the ref saw this one.

Lev's cruel, if any, eyes shot through this one.

"The fact that the humans are here means that the operation has failed."

"Oh. This is the end of what Temehe was trying to do!"

Kiglas jumped screaming.

I wave my sword at the ref, but the ref shrugs lightly.

"I need you to cover Lilia, Lily and Kiglas. I'll see how Mr. Rai is doing."

"... ok"

Lilia joins Kiglas in his attack.

Kiglas clearly had sword arms up more than before. You should have been talented originally. I guess I worked out again.

Run to Rye, side by side with their battle.

"Are you okay?"

"... oh. You look pathetic."

"... here, you must have been protecting everyone"

I'll give him the potion. Rye wakes up all the time.

And I heard screams from above.

Rai looks up in a hazy way.

"Outside, are you okay?"

"Demons and... and maybe church knights mixed up, what's going on -"

"Still, guys, haven't figured out what's going on,"

Rye let his face swell with remorse.

"Quickly, finish him off."

Rye turned his gaze toward the ref.

"Leave him to us. … Mr. Rai gives instructions to the Church Knights"

That would only be possible for Mr. Rai.

He's the only one up there who can give instructions to the confused.

"... but it is my duty to protect the Popes"

"I'll take care of it. I'll take care of it."

"... Rude.... I asked, I'll take care of it"

Rye gets up all the time and calls him to leave the room.

So Kiglas swallowed the universe.

He makes sure to go around in the air and try to land.

Lilia, where Kiglas lined up, I'll stand next to him, too.

"Rude, what are you fighting for?"

I told you about my skills.

To my word, Kiglas loosens his mouth.

"Speaking of which, you did. I also taught my skills to the homunculus."

"Right."

I guess there was a homunculus with an appraisal.

"Apparently, I can use my skills to improve my abilities at the expense of my outer skin. As much as the amount of skin consumed, the enhancement will also jump."

"... I see. He was devastated before he knew it."

"... I'm sorry"

Kiglas said that with a face that seemed hard to say.

Nothing, I'm not going to blame you. Not that I don't remember anger at all, but it's a long time ago.

Besides - I'm the only one who can forgive him.

So I exhale. I wanted to lighten his back once like that.

"Nothing. No way. And thanks to you, I got to meet the good guys."

"Oh, yeah."

Kiglas raised her voice.

"Neither of you, don't dairy each other. Coming."

"I'm not breastfeeding!"

When Kiglas screams, I'm the one who comes forward with an impending ref attack.

Take his blow with the big shield.

"No way... I didn't know it would work at all"

To the ref's word, I pushed back the big shield.

Quickly Kiglas and Lilia are slashed.

We try to smash each other's gaps and wave our swords.

But don't disturb any breathing, the ref moves.

His wielded sword sharpens Lilia's outer skin.

I can't help it, I'll take care of both of you.

The next moment, my usual recovery flew in.

It's Nin, who was maintaining the bond.

Only she has a spare look compared to the other Virgins.

... Exactly, you're the Virgin.

"Rude, Temehe, now. You took my damage!"

"Oh. Don't waste it. You're gonna put him away, right?"

"Damn it, damn it!"

Kiglas launches a screaming attack.

It is lightly switched.

Lily's tracking magic. The ref only had one blow or so, and then immediately reproduced the same thing.

"Magic Replication Skills"

"Those Homunkles are replicating their skills. I wouldn't be surprised if rare skills came out like mountains."

"Looks like it."

We're in line, and Kiglas is turning a blind eye.

"Can I go in there and believe in Temehe's skills?"

"Oh."

"Is that okay, Rude? Why don't you disarm it on the way?"

Lilia told me to tease you.

I'll give you a bitter smile too.

"That might be interesting, too."

"Shit, I know the price. I'll let you use it to stop him."

"Plus, I'll fit in. Use my skin as much as you like."

"... Ha, a reliable tank"

Kiglas activates his ability to smile. The outer skin was consumed in large quantities in an instant.

This guy may have learned to use his skills to some extent.

He moved faster than earlier and approached the ref.
