Zenith (5)

;on the way back to the mansion.

;Jamie looked at Lars, who still had a serious expression on his face. ; After seeing the full-armed paladin, he didn't say a word.

; There is something.

;The alien divine power she felt toward her paladin was known by Jamie as well.

; I heard from Ricky earlier.

;"Well? ; oh yeah ; What did you talk about?

; I had a friend at the same orphanage, and he said he was taken by Janice God.

;"Five. ; It s rare.

;In fact, there were often cases where they were chosen by the god they worshiped.

;It wasn't surprising that Lars was also chosen and became a paladin.

; So yesterday you went to the church headquarters.

;"right. ; If she is chosen by the god she worships, she has to go to the place closest to the god.

; He also said he wanted to become a priest after becoming a chosen person.

;"haha. ; I wish it were like that. ; Ricky is a good boy.

;Jamie glanced into his eyes.

;She didn't get the reaction she wanted. ; Is this enough?

;Jamie pondered for a bit, and then she opened her mouth as she recalled an interesting story.

; Two months ago.

;"Huh."

;Lars' complexion darkened.

; I don t think so. ; Isn't it?"

; ; ; Zenith.

;The Pyros were once quite close to the Zenith.

;So, she was somewhat aware of Zenith's tendencies.

; I forgot.

;Jamie is right.

;Zenith did little for his others.

;The same goes for orphanages.

; They can t look after orphans.

;She should have felt uncomfortable there.

;Of course, that doesn't mean they never help others. ; But the Zenith Church in Highs was definitely overkill.

;Then she saw Jamie.

;'It's as if I was guiding a conversation in the hope that I would realize... ; ; .'

;"why?"

;At Lars' gaze, Jamie tilted her head.

;'no way.'

;I know Jamie is such a great kid that I can hear him being a genius. ; But she was still a child. ; It's just a coincidence.

; You don t even know the purpose in the first place.

;'She couldn't have had that much insight.'

;She is now 7 years old.

;Lars shook his head to get rid of his distractions.

;Whatever it was, it's true that Jamie's words helped a lot.

;He smiled and patted her Jamie's head.

;"Thank you."

;"What?"

; Just everything. ; great. ; Her older brother will give you a ride!

; Your brother is right ; ; Whoa!

;I was about to ask if it was my brother, but Lars flashed it all over his shoulder and put it on his shoulder.

;Then she started running towards her mansion at her full speed.

; Hey, stop!

;Only Jamie's mournful scream echoed through the empty street.

;* * *

;After the meal, the Count and Lars had a separate meeting.

;Lars briefly reported what had happened today.

; Did Jamie say that?

;When he told Jamie what he had heard on the way back to the mansion, the Earl was quite surprised.

; I think it might be a coincidence.

; ; ; yes.

;The Earl of Wellton knew Jamie was a genius, but she didn't know the circumstances and thought it would be difficult for her to have such insight.

;On the one hand, she thought that if it were Jamie, she could only pursue her heterogeneity and arrive at her results.

;She was too overrated for a 7-year-old boy, but it's hard to say no, considering what she's shown so far.

;But she didn't matter, so she got back to the point.

; Rival and Janice Kyorah.

; It s said that a kid named Ricky in an orphanage used to live in Rival.

; Certainly very suspicious. ; I thought that Zenith s actions this time were just social activities for the sake of propagation.

;Even the Count knew a little about Zenith's ideas.

;However, the situation is always changing, and it has a positive effect on the territory, so I was just watching.

; If what you say is true, that s a different story.

;It cannot be overlooked if it is the Zenith Church, which is rooted in Highs, who demanded children from Rival.

;But he had only a heart attack, no physical evidence.

;No matter how famous the Earl of Wellton was, Zenith was a religion that exerted influence beyond the realm of the world.

; I need a reason.

; It would be, too.

;Lars was also a knight before a priest, so he knew how important a cause was.

;Lars thought for a moment, and then he said to the Count.

; I will find the evidence.

; You can be dangerous on your own.

; Before leaving the church, I saw a paladin with the bishop.

; What do you mean?

;When it comes to bishops, paladins are attached as escorts. ; There was nothing strange at all.

;But Lars' eyes were serious.

; I didn t know.

; What do you mean?

; I didn t know if he was a Zenith paladin.

;The Count frowned.

;If the Paladin with the Bishop of the Zenith Church is not affiliated with the Zenith Church, where does it belong?

;Before that, Lars said he didn't know. ; Even though a paladin of that size would have enough ability to distinguish the level of divinity of other religions.

;"no way."

; I m not sure, but I think it s a chimera .

; Does that mean the chimera creators have already started experimenting?

; Perhaps.

;The Count rubbed his forehead.

; What about strength?

; ; ; I think I have a little bit of an edge.

; I ll give you three.

;As soon as the Count finished speaking, three black shadows fell from the ceiling.

;Lars looked back in amazement.

;The three swordsmen, whose bodies were wrapped in black cloth, stood behind Lars.

; I didn t even feel a footstep!

;It was clear that the assassins had reached considerable heights.

;But they had long swords tied to their waists. ; As an assassin, he preferred a small weapon because he had to kill the target secretly.

;The long sword was the worst weapon an assassin could use.

; They are the shadow knights who have existed to protect the Weltons since ancient times. ; My basic skills are at the level of an expert, so it will be of great help.

;"article ; ; is that correct?

;"what. ; for now."

;The Count replied with a smile.

;He knew that the Welton family was one of the top swordsmanship masters on all continents.

;Even so, I never thought that I would have an assassin with the power of an expert-class knight.

; I will definitely uncover the truth of them.

; Live a sinless life.

;Perhaps the Count did not know how to greet the Pyro Church, Lars' eyes widened.

;Then he smiled and drew his name.

; Not harsh mercy.

;* * *

; A benevolence that is not harsh is a bitch.

;Jamie sneered into her air as she pulled her finger out of her right ear.

; A chimera maker.

;He had just been eavesdropping on the Count's office.

;He wondered if the Count would find out, so with Black's help, he installed the eavesdropping magic as covertly as possible.

; Is it bigger than you think?

;worrisome tone.

;But Jamie was smiling.

;Then yes. ; She was also not wrong in her own opinion.

;Janice The bastard was still a bastard.

; A chimera experiment with younger children. ; Pretty disgusting.

;On the one hand, she seemed to understand why she was targeting children.

;He said he was the creator of the Chimera, a divinity covetous.

;children are pure ; Everything was clear because of the lack of experience. ; That is why it is impossible to distinguish between good and evil.

;So it was perfect for filling things in.

; It would be perfect for human experiments.

;I don't know how to infuse the divine power, but it will probably transform the body into an optimal form.

;I don't know, but a considerable chimera will be born.

; As Lars said, if the paladin was a chimera ; ; .'

;Their experiments could be seen to have reached a fairly high realm. ; But it won't be complete.

;Chimera is not an area of expertise, but there was a part that had something in common with black magic.

;'Unstable divine power.'

;He was so heterogeneous that even he himself noticed.

;So he was perfectly caught by Lars.

;It was highly likely that the goal of the Zenith Church was to create a complete chimera paladin that could not be distinguished from the deity of Zenith.

;"black."

;giggling-

;Black, who was sitting on the bed, was called by the owner.

;Jamie tied one of her letters to Black's leg.

; Go to Liza.

;Queek!

;Black said yes, spread his wings and flew out.

;Jamie watched Black walk away, closed her window and sat down.

;'I must prepare enough.'

;The feeling came.

;The end was not far off.

;There will be a great fight.

;I don't know how big it is, but you should at least always be ready to cast a spell.

; Memorize.

;Jamie's eyes turned purple.

;The mana flowing through her body began to fluctuate.

;* * *

;Azad yawned loosely.

;She lost sleep as she became an undead, but when she was bored, she often came out to see if the phenomenon such as yawning remained a habit.

; How long do I have to be like this?

; Until they start acting weird.

;Liza, who was next to him, silently watched her denomination and answered.

;An hour ago, I received a letter from their owner, Jamie.

;The content of the letter was simple.

;If any suspicious movement is detected in the church, it should be reported immediately.

;In addition, if you see a full-armed knight, he also told you to keep an eye on it.

; We just do what we tell them to do.

; I m bored, I m bored.

;Azad grumbled, but he also looked at the church again because the master's orders were absolute.

;They were undead, and even if they did not move in one place, they did not receive a feeling of wretchedness.

;Another few hours passed quickly.

;Although there were people going around the church, there were no suspicious circumstances or the appearance of a paladin.

;Azad groaned in a boring tone, stretching, which he did not need to do.

; Well, nothing ; ; .

;"damage!"

;At that moment, Ryza pushed Azad aside with her foot.

;Seo Eok-

;A creepy chirping sound.

;A solid line was drawn on the stone floor where they were sitting.

;The two jumped up and saw the opponent who had stabbed them.

;Azad's eyes widened.

; Tongue, brother. ; that ; ; !

; Looks right.

;A knight, fully armed with white armor and a helmet, stood with his sword in both hands.

; Did we sneak up behind us to the point where we didn t even feel it?

; ; ; .

;As they became undead, all of their physical abilities were a few steps higher than before.

;Still, he did not know the existence of the paladin until he was attacked.

;If it wasn't for Liza, who was still in tension, Azad would have died instantly.

;Because divinity was the most vicious force for the undead.

;"porridge ; ; inda.

;The paladin fixed the sword and held it.

;Through the face guards, a dazzling eye light flowed out.

;"brother."

; I will stop. ; Tell the master immediately!

; Come on, brother! ; I will stop... ; ; Aww!

;As Azad said, the paladin drew his sword.

;It was incredibly fast and destructive.

;If he had been a human, he would have been cut off in an instant.

;Liza kicked his tongue and ran towards the paladin.

;The paladin swung his sword without looking back. ; The tip of the sword barely passed his neck.

; It s too much for us!

;Lisa made a decision.

;He passed the paladin with all his might.

;The sword followed closely, but it was Liza who knew the terrain well.

;He grabbed the pipe in the ceiling and jumped up.

;The paladin smashed the ground. ; Like a blade splitting, it drew afterimages and radiated divine power.

;"go!"

;Liza lands next to Azad and pushes him out the side window.

;"brother!"

; Go and see the master ; ; !

;Shak-!!

;A pure white sword enveloped Liza.

; Killed ; ; all."

;Thinking he had killed one, the paladin immediately jumped out of the window.

; Where!

;Through the sword, Liza jumped out.

;His left arm and side were severed, but his right arm and two legs were still left.

;He gripped the paladin's ankle tightly.

;This time, he swings his sword without looking. ; The slash of his divine power raged horribly.

;His eyes turned white.

;Die this time-

; I didn t know that they would find my dolls and attack the station.

;The darkness swallowed the light.

;The light resisted fiercely,

;"noisy."

;Jiying-!!

;The black cog wheel began to spin.

;[Dark Dimension]

; I ll dig you out here.

;Jamie, who wrapped her body in black, smiled, revealing her teeth.

;The world was filled with darkness.
