I captured an inn and stayed in the city for a week.
I looked at Haman, eating bread in the assigned room.
“How many children have been kidnapped so far? ”
“About 15. ”
Before we got here, they were moving three or four days apart, maybe a week apart.
Fifteen, that's in a month.
I slept with him secretly, and it was okay to think that he was moving around quite frankly.
It was too much of a bold move for the scared ones to make.
“Too many. I heard there are a lot of noble disciples here. Wasn't the guard too lax? ”
“They attempted a civilian abduction. There are no victims among noble children."
I was very dissatisfied with that.
I doubted that some of the guards were handed over to the nobles.
Haman shakes his head as if he had read my thoughts.
“Don't get me wrong. The nobleman's children used the soldiers in the family as escorts. Also, the Black Cult won't be able to hurt the nobles for nothing. because they would be as reluctant to have their troops stationed in the city. ”
Haman sighs.
I put a cup of tea in my mouth and asked.
“What's the maximum power here? ”
“The Golden Cross. It's close to the Aslan border, so part of it is encamped on the fringes. ”
At that, I looked at Haman with a surprised look.
“The Golden Cross? ”
Isn't that the Holy Father's direct squad?
The Celestial Army, the Holy Cross, the Green Cross, the Red Cross, and the Golden Cross.
The golden cross is called the strongest of the five constellations.
There were such immovable beings without the Holy Father's command.
You can't stop them when they're around?
“Different specialties. First of all, they only had their nest here a month ago, and when the tracker caught up, they dared to dispose of the Red Devil. It turns out there's no information. If you wish, I can ask the Golden Cross for help. With the prince's current authority, it is possible. ”
“No, don't do that. ”
Having me and Haman doesn't make it too hard to stop the Red Devil.
As the Golden Cross moves, they will hide even more in secret.
It is also unclear about the lives of children who will be abducted.
That's probably why Celt didn't order the Golden Cross separately.
“If they hadn't run away, they would have moved by now. ”
I took two red devils from the item window and laid them to the ground.
This is good for zombies.
Unlike a vampire, the body doesn't vanish even if the head flies away, so it can be studied.
I took the surgical torture-tool used by the Red Cross and dissected the Red Devil.
Haman shuts his mouth.
As I was eating, something I ate will come up.
“Your Highness, if you are a prince... ”
“What the heck is in the Great Depression? In a hurry. ”
I took my organs from a split ship and threw them to the ground.
“This structure. No different than a zombie. ”
I pulled out the organs quickly. And I grabbed his heart and pulled it out.
The heart is weak, but it still contains magic.
“It's worth studying, too. ”
This is the first magical structure I've ever seen. It seems to move the body by forcing the heart to beat.
“Excellent. I can do it with this. I won't be able to use one, but the other one...”
I roll my mouth up, looking at Santa's corpse.
“We can use it. ”
“Use what?”
“Santa Claus.”
I smiled at Haman.
“To give them an unforgettable gift. So do me a favor. Get me a blue robe."
I used my mind to look at the heart. I've identified the flow and structure of the magical force.
After a while, a message popped into my head.
[A new skill has been created.]
* *
Two weeks after the disappearance of the two red devils, its presence reappears.
The Red Devil.
The chubby, bearded devil sits on a chimney.
He gave a playful glance, then suddenly he tilted his head.
The guard was slower than usual. Well, we've been quiet for three weeks. Also, since the guards killed two red devils, the soldiers must have thought they had fled.
This is the folly of humans.
After a while, I forget my fear. By then, the Red Devil had reappeared and snatched the children like a fairy tale.
Others will chase you relentlessly, but you can outrun them.
If you have a tail, the Red Devil can vanish immediately.
The Red Devil's gaze leads to the town square.
There's a boy.
A shabby outfit in a robe.
Did you just enter the territory? We can't defend ourselves without it.
How old are you?
15 and 6 years old. Growing or not, I was not that tall.
The Red Devil turns his sack and his boy.
I nodded, assessing whether the boy could fit in.
Siek, smiled.
I jumped on the roof and attacked the boy.
At that moment, the boy smiled, turning his gaze as if he had felt the move first.
“There's only one smell. Luckily, we don't have to do it alone. ”
The Red Devil crushed that boy and defeated him.
The boy smiled and stood still.
The red devil sees it and tilts his head.
Something was wrong.
The opponent looks relaxed, even if he should be afraid.
The boy clears his throat thinking about something suspicious.
“Oh my…! The Devil has appeared. Someone help! ”
The boy was frightened and yelled.
Of course. I was so scared, I just got distracted for a second.
The Red Devil gives up on suspicion. I closed the boy's mouth and lifted him up and put him in his sack.
The sack is heavy.If you put more children in it, your precious sacrifices will get hurt.
One will suffice today.
“Oh my, dog…. It's fucking narrow. It's not a big thing.Just carry it in a big sack! What the...!"
The sack is noisy.
“The Red Devil! ”
The Red Devil turns his gaze.
You see the guards rushing in.
The Red Devil climbs on the roof.
You move swiftly and hide your movements. I blocked the sound of the sack.
I've been chasing them for a while, but I've had no trouble avoiding them.
I entered the building between the alleys, closed the door, and locked it.
I opened the floor facing the basement and took the stairs down to the basement.
The Necromancer in the black robe stops the Red Devil at the entrance.
The Necromancer looks back to make sure there are no pursuers, and he stammers and examines the body of the red devil.
Finally, I smiled at the boy in the sack.
“Pass.”
The Red Devil passes by.
Through the narrow corridor, you reach the wide hall.
It was a huge underground building.
Necromancers roam the grounds of an anthill.
I carried a grimoire or looked through the documents.
Some people forcibly dragged the crying child.
The summoned zombies are lined up like statues, and the necromancers inspect them one by one.
The Red Devil went to a storage room with the same red devils as him.
I opened the steel door and went inside.
Bodies hung from the floor and ceiling.
There are two Necromancers.
Red devil makers sewing and assembling corpses.
“Oh! The sacrifice has arrived. ”
“I just needed some magic. It's good.”
The Necromancers make a happy face.
One wrinkly old man.
But in fact, they will be men in their early 40s.
It was common for those who used life and youth as magical powers.
They sacrificed ‘Others’ to maintain their magic and youth. The most effective of these are the children.
The Necromancer uncovers the sack.
The boy is out.
It is not a crying or a frightened look.
Rather, the boy wandered around in a strange manner.
Will that be all?
He glanced at the two Necromancers and smiled.
“Greetings!”
“... what? ”
Ridiculous.
The boy opened his base as if he were out of frustration. Then you wave to the Necromancers.
“Hey, it's been hard. I've been wandering around all night for a week and now I'm taking the bait. Do you have any idea how nervous you were when you ran away? ”
"..."
The Necromancers stare at the red devil with unhappy eyes.
I told you to kidnap a healthy child, and then you kidnapped a psychopath.
It doesn't hurt them to be a child like that, but I still feel bad about it.
You can't even dispose of it.
“Cover that mouth first. ”
The Necromancer says the Red Devil moves.
I took out the mando and approached.
“Hmmm, I've come to give you a precious gift. Here's Santa's gift. Take it. ”
The boy's voice changed.
He exaggerates and squeezes something out of his sack.
At that time, a blue corpse is pulled out of the loose sack.
It was a corpse with a blue hat and robe, chubby body and beard.
“What...? ”
The Necromancers' expressions harden.
Can I come out of a big sack?
Moreover, they looked like blue devils.
Their gaze was on the boy.
The boy waves, holding the hand of the blue devil.
I laughed like a ventriloquist.
“Hello, I'm Santa! ”
The boy injected the corpse with sexual strength.
And he said with a big smile.
“I think you like death, I've come to deliver it! ”
The Blue Devil's eyes are opened with a burst of power.
The approaching neck of the Red Devil slashes on the bayou.
The Red Devil stomps down, and the Blue Devil rises to his feet.
“So please don't thank me. ”
The boy said to the Blue Devil,
“Kill him.”
“Now, wait...!"
The blue devil leaps up and swings.
Blood everywhere.
The Necromancer died from a mango to the shoulder and head without magic.
The blue devil grunts and pulls out the mandibles in his head.
The boy, the seven princes, Allen Olfalls, wanders about.
In a tight space, there are red devils listed like puppet factories.
It seemed to have arrived at the target.
The boy checked the status of the Red Devils.
This was enough.
You must have received plenty of Blue Robes from Haman. You can put them on.
It is ideal as a symbol of fear and also as a Santa Claus outfit to gift death to the wicked.
It's already past, but it shouldn't be too bad to spend Christmas here.
* *
The Necromancers move swiftly.
You carry the corpse and skeleton the skeletons.
He sighs as he walks on his staff.
For those who are far from a healthy body, this narrow hall feels quite spacious.
“What the hell is going on? ”
“I don't know. They're preparing for it on other planets than here. Maybe there are others in this city besides us. This time it's going to be big. ”
“Is he planning to blow up Hummite himself and go to war with the Holy See? ”
Necromancers silence, watching the zombies and skeletons listed in the hallway.
“How? There's a golden cross here. I don't know about the rest of Earth, but this place is gonna be tough. Should we abandon the power we have just raised?” “What would be different if we thought about it? We just have to work as quietly as we're told…”
Bang!
The Necromancers look away as they speak.
Bang!
You hear a noise from the iron door.
Bang!
The locked door bends and breaks.
And...
Bang!
The iron door bounces off.
A lot of glare appeared between the narrow doorways.
Bodies stagger out of the blue.
The Necromancers tilt their heads to see a corpse like that.
“What. Is that...? ”
“The Red Devil...? ”
He gave me an interesting look like a wizard.
The Necromancers approach the corpse in blue without hesitation.
“The structure is the same. But... different. ”
“But what is this peculiar energy? Unlike magic...”
The curious expression gradually solidified.
“Is this... sexual history? Oh, my God. What the...! ”
The Blue Devil smiles.
I lifted and lowered my mannequin.
The Necromancer's head splits open and blood spills out.
The Necromancers grow pale as they fall.
The bearded, chubby blue devil smiles at them.
“Merry Christmas! Necromancers of Death! ”
Then a boy walks out among the blue devils.
“This Santa is here to deliver a gift to you! ”
The excited boy's voice echoes.
The Necromancers take a step back, terrified.
They looked at the boy, the alien boy standing at the center of the blue devils.
He laughs.
He smiled cruelly, leaning his head.
“The gift of death. It's the perfect gift for you. ”
The words and the blue devils move simultaneously.
