“I can protect you.”

Schlieffen intoned. The sword body, wrapped in a storm, was vibrating. Verminion, whose head had been cut, staggered to his feet.

【Keuuk... How dare you...】

Blood was still gushing out from the stab wound on his neck. However, compared to when it was cut, the amount has clearly decreased.

'That's too fast.'

Schlieffen narrowed his brows. I expected that recovery would also increase, but I didn't expect it to heal so quickly. Should I kill him all at once? Verminion raised his head and a roar came out of his mouth.

【You hurt my neck!】

At the same time, Verminion's figure disappeared from sight. Schlieffen reflexively raised his sword. Kaaaang-! His body was pushed back with a scorching metallic sound.

【How, stop it?!】

“Uhm... !”

Schlieffen gritted his teeth. Even if I just defended myself, my arm felt like it was going to fall off. It felt like I had been hit by a huge animal, not a person.

【Try it one more time like before, huh?!】

Verminion's attack continued. It was a rough yet sophisticated fighting technique. Schlieffen felt his life threatened every time a kick was thrown and the regime wrapped around Mana. He was trying to get his bearings after turning around and backing away. An old man's voice was heard from behind.

【Sorry, but I have to catch up quickly.】

The hairs on the back of my neck stood up. Schlieffen quickly turned his head. Glowing spheres the size of coconuts were flying at high speed.

Even at a glance, I could see that it wasn't right. It was the moment when he pulled out. Archbishop Le Tancier, who was watching Schlieffen, made a hand gesture that seemed to be pressing.

【Where.】

“Ugh...”

An invisible force pressed down on Schlieffen's shoulders. It was a moment when his movements became unorganized. Kwaaaaang! The sphere of light that fell at my feet caused an explosion.

“Gagging!”

I couldn't stop it this time. The body that was thrown out hit the wall with a loud noise. Judging by the feeling, it seemed like two ribs had been broken.

It was so painful that I wanted to pass out, but there was no time to lie down. Schlieffen rolled to the side and lifted himself up. Kwasik! At the same time, Verminion's heel fell on the spot.

【Hmph, I heard you inherited old man Alon’s blood, so your speed is useful.】

He pulled his legs out of the floor and growled viciously. Judging from the depth his foot went into, if he had been hit, he would have definitely been killed instantly.

Schlieffen widened the gap and looked back toward the direction the sphere had come from. An old woman with a hunched back was standing, holding a cane. Dozens of glowing orbs that had exploded were spinning around her. The old woman who made eye contact with Schlieffen let out an exclamation.

【Oh, you didn’t die?】

“you···.”

【His name is Archbishop Maron. A handsome young man. Do you have any plans to clean up that tornado? In that case, I can at least spare your life.】

An old woman named Maron smiled kindly. Schlieffen did not answer. At that time, a man covered in blood walked out from behind Maron.

【okay. I might give you some leniency because of your bravery. Damn it, how on earth did this thing happen?】

The man grumbled. The archbishop named Anaquiel tried to break through the tornado set up by Schlieffen with his bare body, but failed. The terrible wounds covering his body were the proof.

【Hoho... It's probably because of the blood of Ronan or something. Judging by its power, it appears that blood was applied relatively recently.】

【somehow. It hurt so bad.】

【Hey. Take away the whirlwind. If we had come all the way up here, there would have been almost no blood left.】

Maron laughed. Schlieffen's face hardened slightly at the keen analysis. In fact, all of Ronan's blood he had was just poured onto his sword. Judging by the time the power lasted, it was a very insufficient amount to deal with the five archbishops.

Schlieffen twisted his lips. In fact, it was no exaggeration to say that this was the last chance to save his life. The chances of him killing all five people were ridiculously low.

Similar things were done in the Dragon City, but the situation was much worse now than then. To be honest, I doubted whether I could win here even if I only faced one person at a time.

'I can't help it.'

Schlieffen finally made a decision and closed his eyes. Seaaaa... The whirlwind surrounding the tower began to subside. Anaquiel's face brightened.

“···sorry. I couldn't come up with an answer. Umm, really, what should I do?”

She apologized and held her head. Because the matter was so serious, my mind and body became sensitive. Despite this, Iril still did not wake up. Her face, sound asleep, looked extremely peaceful.

“What the hell is going on anyway?”

Suddenly, Marya looked outside the castle wall and frowned. The star's protection created by Abel was so thick that it was impossible to check the external situation. It seems like something disturbing is going on. Braum, who was drooling, opened his mouth.

“How about taking a trip to our sewer? “There may not be that shield underground.”

“Oh, is that good?”

Marya's face brightened. It was definitely a valid argument. Normally, sewer pipes were connected to the outside, and for such a huge castle, the sewage facilities must have been large enough for people to pass through.

“Let’s leave now. “Do you have any blood left?”

“okay. Although it is insignificant...”

Braum nodded. Marya, who had brushed off the blood from her bayonet, was just about to move the car. Suddenly, a familiar voice was heard from below the castle wall.

“what. “Are you alive?”

“Now, Jaipa?!”

Marya lowered her gaze and was astonished. A black were tiger was looking up at her. The four commandos who entered together were out of breath around Jaifa.

Judging by their behavior, it seemed like they had a hard time on the other side as well. Everyone was so exhausted that they looked like they had taken a bath in blood. Suddenly, Jaifa's eyes opened wide.

“That woman...”

Jaifa's eyes were fixed on Iril in Marya's arms. He reached the top of the castle wall in one leap. Jaifa looked at the three people in turn and laughed.

“It looks like you guys were successful. “This is shameful.”

“Now is not the time to argue about that! “Have you ever seen a sewer or something while walking around?”

“there is. But it's not what you expect. Even if it was blocked, it was blocked very tightly.”

Jaifa shook his head. He and his men had just returned from a trip to the sewer. What greeted the special forces, who were hoping to find a way out, was a crowded enemy and the protection of a star that seemed even thicker.

“Well, that can’t be possible...”

Marya's face hardened. I felt like I could hear my hopes collapsing. There really was no way now. Jaifa, who was silent for a moment, opened his mouth.

“Looking at her outfit, I guess she shouldn’t be taken away by fanatics, right?”

“yes. “Probably definitely.”

“Hmm... then there is nothing we can do. “I have no choice but to try to push myself a little.”

Jaifa clicked his tongue. He put down his scimitar and took a step toward the star's protection. Marya tilted her head at the meaningful action.

“What are you going to do? Why is Eonwoldo...”

“I guess I’ll have to break through somehow. “Everyone, hand over that kid’s blood to me.”

“···yes?”

Marya asked, but Jaifa did not answer. All he did was steal Ronan's blood from those who followed him and Braum and apply it to his hands.

“Well, why did you put that in your hand...”

Braum looked embarrassed. Jaifar's hands, soaked with Ronan's blood, took on a dark red color, like the flames of hell.

A claw-like nail was growing on one of the fingers, which was as long as a dagger. My already thick forearms were rapidly swelling.

“no way.”

“Hmm!”

Marya, noticing what he was going to do, raised her eyebrows. Zaifa's fist fired at the same time struck the star's protection. Quaaaaang-! An explosive sound resounded as if an iron plate was being hit with a stone.

“As expected, it’s solid.”

“oh my god···!”

Jaifa clicked his tongue. Marya's eyes widened. His fingernails were slightly digging into the star's protection. There was a spider web-like crack around the spot where the nail was stuck.
