Chapter 219

By the time the heretic judges, who had been unconscious, came to their senses and maintained a neutral attitude after being informed of the situation through the saintess, the exploration of the cultist den began to look to the end.

Thanks to the cleanly sucked corpses, we easily finished the search, and we had to go back and forth between the first campsite and the cultist’s lair to move the loot. Among the belongings of the victims who were offered as sacrifices, the amount of things that seemed to be money was collected diligently, and the amount was considerable.

Most surprising of all was that despite the loss of thirty horses because of me, there were still ten horses left.

“There may have been forces supporting these guys.”

Gaendal’s opinion, muttering in agony, was perfectly reasonable. He could have escaped on horseback from the battlefield, but the upkeep of forty horses was nothing to belittle. It is highly likely that the sacrifices were piled up separately, and that they were involved in transactions with fences or other illegal forces.

“It would be better to tell the guild about this later.”

Sen also nodded and said, probably coming to a similar conclusion. It could be a simple fence, but it could also be a group of devil worshipers with a division of labor, so it would be better to warn them. Since the loot was overflowing anyway, it was a situation where I had to stop at a suitable city unlike when I came, so I decided to tell the story at that time.

While bringing all the loot back to the camp and sorting and organizing it, I showed Seneran the by-products the demons left behind, and he gave me a rather interesting answer.

“It’s a byproduct that demons often leave behind when they die.”

Seneran, who had correctly identified the disgusting mass even after showing it without any explanation, looked around but did not show much interest.

“You manage to look at that disgusting piece of flesh casually.”

Seeing him closely examining a mass that seemed to be moving at any moment was amazing, and when I unknowingly helped out with a word from the side, Seneran asked back with a strange expression.

“I didn’t expect you to say that. Don’t you think the corpses of the people cut up by your hands are more disgusting?”

“That’s nothing more than burning garbage, waste left behind by demons, isn’t it? Comparing the objection to a corpse, which is a part of the world, with something evil that shouldn’t exist in this world. I think it’s rude.”

“Wow, I’ve never seen a person like you who reacts as if a hatred for the devil is imprinted on their souls. Right now, the priest, the heretic judge of the Demonic Church, also responds better than you.”

In fact, rather than sympathizing with me, the saintess was looking at my demon hatred with Seneran as if in amazement.

no god They are worse quality than cockroaches and mosquitoes, but isn’t my reaction quite normal? i can’t understand

“Anyway, this is a very valuable item, regardless of your personal taste.”

Seneran continued, examining the lump that, to my eyes, looked no different than a lump of shit he had dumped.

It’s late today anyway, so it’s better to have a conversation with a clear mind after waking up. I was also tired in many ways, so I headed to the tent where Asilie was.

“Is the story over?”

Asilie, who had taken off her shoes and lay down as if asleep, opened her eyes only to hear the sound of someone approaching, noticing that it was me. It seems that this older sister was also resting first because she overworked herself while performing spirit magic and magic at the same time.

Seeing that Relli and Merdella were in a similar situation, it might have been annoying in many ways if they hadn’t finished it quickly.

“Yeah. I think we’ll talk about the specifics tomorrow. We’re both tired today, so we finished it in moderation.”

“Huh. Why are people suddenly making a fuss?”

“Something fell on the devil I caught today, and it was very expensive. At least five gold coins from the top?

As I lay down next to her with her shoes off and her equipment loosely removed, Asilie, who wiggled and wiggled to create space, smiled lightly, surprised at the amount.

“Really, Eldy gets caught up in incidents wherever she goes. But this time, it comes with a big reward, so can you say it’s a relief?”

“It’s fortunate, isn’t it? To be honest, I’m thinking it’s fortunate that I brought Gaendal and Sen’s party. If only we had come, we wouldn’t have taken most of those things with us.”

“Worrying about the loot first rather than worrying about how difficult it would have been to fight, I guess it wasn’t that difficult for Eldi this time? He was a demon.”

“Um... I honestly did.”

The devil was beaten unilaterally as soon as the full-scale battle started because of the close compatibility with the extreme hard counter, and even though the cultists were at the level of using a knife, in the end, they could not exceed the limit of the deserter. Even those who could be called variables were destroyed in an instant by the appearance of the saintess and company.

While the story happened to come out, I decided to tell Asili the story of dealing with the devil and the saintess. Assilie quietly listened to the story that I might be the ultimate hard counter of the demons and that the god I had been praying for and believing in was Ephaga, the one I drank.

“It could be.”

It’s still hard to tell everything, so I skipped a lot more than I thought, but I was rather puzzled by the reaction that was so natural.

“Isn’t that too easy to accept?”

“To be honest, I think it makes no sense that Eldi uses magic.

indeed. wise and reasonable
