Chapter 94

Chapter 94: I Was Feared After All

The pope looked at the remnants of the pseudo-angel at his feet.

「T-the pseudo-angel was… so easily…」

Pope Elmenius the Fourth could only stand dumbfoundedly upon seeing how easily his trump card was wrecked by the devil.

「Quite an interesting toy you got there, but it’s far from enough to beat a duke-ranked devil like me.」

「N-no way… You really are… that devil, Mephisto…」

「I told you that a while ago, right?」

If he really was the devil Mephisto, then it was practically impossible to subjugate him.

The only way to beat him was to lock him up in the holy dimension prison again.

‘But then, how did he leave that place?! Supposing that we manage to trap him again, he could literally leave the prison again…’

And once that happened, humanity was doomed for sure.

Nevertheless, there really was no other way to beat him.

「P-prepare the holy dimension prison…」

「You think I’m going to let you do that?」

「GAH?!」

Suddenly, the pope’s body was restricted by an invisible power and lifted up in the air.

「You’re going to call that annoying dimension door, right? Right? RIGHT?!」

「GUH!」

「Ah, my bad. Because of that, I ended up stuck in that dimension for a thousand years with nothing to do. That’s why I became irritated when I heard you talking about that again. I mean, who wants to be trapped inside that accursed place?」

‘I-I see now? Seeing that he’s so scared of the holy dimension prison… Does that mean he can’t leave with his own power?’

「Nevertheless, it seems that pseudo-angel from before truly inherited the power of the real angel.」

「!!!」

For generations, the pope of the Saint Melt religion had the authority to use the angel’s power.

This was in fact the first authority that was transferred from one generation to the next.

If the pope died before he could transfer that authority to the next generation, then that authority would be completely lost.

「I have to kill you for sure since I don’t want to be trapped in that place again after all.」

「A-argh… Gah…」

Creaking sounds could be heard from the pope’s head.

The devil seemed to be trying to crush the pope’s skull.

「「「Y-YOUR EMINENCE!」」」

「Small fries out of my way!」

「「「GAH?!」」」

The Holy Knights who were trying desperately to stand up and save the pope weren’t allowed to approach them.

But right at that moment…

Approaching unnoticed from the side, someone nailed a straight punch to the cheek of the devil.

「…Eh? BUGWAAAAH?!」

The devil was literally sent flying by a straight punch.

The pope was released and then fell to the ground.

Despite having difficulties breathing, the pope raised his face to see the figure that just sent the devil flying with his straight punch. It was a white-haired youth with red eyes.

「N-NO LIFE KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING?!」

The people present were driven into an even deeper despair.

「D-devil… Mephisto? Nonsense! As if we’re going to believe that you’re the same devil who was trapped in the holy dimension prison a thousand years ago!」

From the window, I looked at the conversation that happened in the garden of the temple.

…Uh, my deepest apologies.

Yes, it seemed everything happened because of me.

That white space.

That devil in the garden was the very same person, no, I mean the very same devil who was trapped in that white space.

“”

Maybe he managed to leave through the hole that I used to leave that dimension too.

「Who’s… that powerful devil? Ugh, I can’t hear what he said from this distance.」

From the window far away, the female Holy Knight saw the conversation taking place in the garden, but she couldn’t hear the details.

I could hear it clearly thanks to my abnormal hearing capability.

The next moment, an angel-like being suddenly appeared out of nowhere, getting insta-killed by the devil.

The pope was in a pinch.

「Your eminence?! Dammit… weapon! No, even without wea… Bubeh?!」

The female Holy Knight jumped out of the window to assist the pope, and I caught her by the nape of her neck, choking her for a moment.

「W-what are you doing?!」

「…Leave him to me.」

「…Y-you? A-are you sure that… you’re going to save the very person who tricked you into entering that dimension?」

The matter of saving him aside, I was the very culprit who caused that devil to leave that  dimension…

So it was more like I was going to settle this karmic debt.

I jumped from the window, landing in the garden.

I passed by the Holy Knights who had fallen unconscious in the garden, running toward the devil, who let out a creepy laugh.

This b*stard didn’t notice me at all, eh.

「…Eh?」

Ah, he finally noticed my presence.

But it was too late. At that moment, my fist was firmly planted in his cheek.

「BUGOOOOOO?!」

…And blew him away.

The devil was blown away as he crashed into God knows how many trees. He only stopped after he crashed into the rampart located around thirty meters away.

On the other hand, the pope fell to the ground.

「N-NO LIFE KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING?!」

He was looking at me, screaming with a desperate look on his face.

「N-no way… you came out from the dimension prison?!」

「T-t-the devil Mephisto… and now the No Life King…」

How weird… this was supposed to be the entrance of a knight in shining armor, and yet… they became even more scared instead…

「Finished… Humanity is… doomed.」

Nope, never once did I want to destroy humanity.

I mean, I was a harmless undead, you know?
