Chapter 212

Nine needles fly toward the entrance without any warning, and return at the same speed.

It was impossible to aim straight at the vital points, so the attack aimed at the upper body rather than the neck, and all the ten or so cultists who could be seen fell to the ground. Not a few of them died in one hit, but there were quite a few who tried to rise again after being knocked down.

And without missing the chance, Ekaterina jumped forward.

“Ahh, ah, no...”

Ekaterina didn’t shout or scream. He just scratched the floor with his warhammer with short breaths and swung it wide and low. With just that, the soil floor cracks and explodes, sweeping away defenseless cultists along with it. If you’re lucky, a whole person will be blown away, but if you’re not lucky, your limbs will be torn off, and the bloody blow is simple, yet powerful and threatening.

Because of that one surprise attack, incomprehensible screams and screams erupted simultaneously from deep inside the entrance, making it look like the gates of hell from which the dead are trying to escape.

“Red raid! Red raid!”

“Shields! Shields advance!”

“Wrong! The attack I just made can pierce the shield! I have to stick with it!”

“The warrior charged! That attack must be prepared! If you don’t charge now, you’ll get hit again!”

It was a strange sight. They are obviously fleeing the battlefield, but when a crisis hits, they habitually begin to command and act like soldiers. What was most surprising was that there was even a guy who made a sharp inference that I wouldn’t be able to use the needle often since Yekatrina rushed after my single attack using an irrational head that believed that I could be reincarnated as a demon after dying.

Of course, there is no such thing as a delay.

It was a bluffing attempt, hoping to misunderstand it like that, but the target was still an unidentified commander deep in their lair, not these guys. All I wanted from these guys right now was to see them stunned by fear.

“Well, it doesn’t matter anyway.”

As I drew my sword, arrows flew in from behind me toward the entrance. Magic missile-like magic flies from the location of the party who ambushed left and right with me and Ekatrina in the center. At first glance, it was a scene where Ekatrina raging in front of her felt really dangerous, but arrows and magic avoided her as if she were alive and only aimed at enemies.

It is a very reliable link. As expected, working with Gaendal’s party becomes easier.

“I’ll break through like this! Gin, Carls, Baize, and Sen protect the wizards! Mr. Gaendal, along with me, protect Yekatrina!”

As would be expected from an experienced adventurer, their answer was action, not words.

◈

“Huh?!”

Seeing the blood and flesh splattered by the projectile that pierced the back of the head of the preceding 20, the only reaction 21 could show was to scream. An awl-like object sticking out the size of an index finger spun with an eerie sound from 20’s head before disappearing with a whooshing sound.

Number 21 understood a little too late that what she had just witnessed was the projectile that Number 84 had described terrified. And that it did not suddenly disappear, but returned to the user. That the blow had caused most of the brothers in front of him to fall and start crawling on the floor.

There, one of the assailants, covered in blood, was holding a projectile that returned to him with one hand, showing his teeth and laughing. He seemed to have no objection to holding the bloodied projectile. Well, it was natural in a way, since his appearance was too much to feel repulsed by such a thing.

The sound of the 10th division brothers drawing their swords echoed from behind #21.

“Damn it! Attack...”

-Quaang!

However, they failed to pounce on the assailant. This time, an unknown explosion occurred from behind the altar.

The terrible word “diversion operation” passed through Number 21’s mind. At the same time, it also occurred to me that the church had a secret exit in case of an emergency. It was a memory that was naturally forgotten because it was so old and there was nothing to write about.

“What is that?”

However, the assailant tilted his head and looked at the back of the exploded altar. Isn’t that a raid? So what is that explosion all about?

“In the name of Epaga!”

“The price of blasphemy will be paid with life!”

Demons appeared in the explosion shouting answers to the questions.

◈

Deoni Bire swung his mace, striking a cultist in front of him just as he had charged forward with his shield raised to break down the wall.

The body strengthened by divine power was like lightning, and while the cultist hit by the shield flew across the air, the skull of the other cultist who had not yet reacted was shattered and their life changed. stirred between the fields.

Those who came with her were no different. Because they were skilled judges of heresy. Less than 10 cultists had to face death without being able to properly respond to the sudden surprise attack.

“...Holy Maid. Something is strange.”

“Iknow, right.”

Thinking that they would be dealing with a huge number of cultists right away, they formed formation and looked around, but the attack on them did not continue. Even the only things that caught my eye were a cultist crawling on the floor and an unknown man covered in blood dressed in a completely different outfit.

It was a terrible sight. Unless he had killed a person and covered himself with blood on purpose, the man’s face was so incomprehensible that it was impossible to understand how many people he had killed to reach this place.

Despite her sudden appearance, the man only tilted his head and showed no reaction. Instead, it simply stepped forward and slashed the cultist’s throat with one blow. Only after that did the man make eye contact with Deoni properly.

The man, who had been looking at her for a while with a businesslike attitude, as if he was just handling business in order, opened his mouth with his head tilted to the side.

“Demon King? Or just the Demonic Cult?”

In the midst of a strong sense of crisis, as if life or death could depend on the answer, Deoni unknowingly fixed her weapon.
