The Cult of Kaulium in the south of the Holy See.

The temple that was built in the middle of the forest was a sacred place to educate and nurture priests and to learn the teachings of the faith.

In a temple that began to serve old Gaia for the first time, there was now a terrible act of corruption.

“Okay, okay, okay! I'm getting a drink! ”

The old priest ran around naked.

Seeing him, other priests burst into laughter.

I drank and threw gold coins everywhere. There was all kinds of gossip.

Among them was Cardinal Michael.

A formal outfit unlike any other.

He holds a golden robe and a ranch.

I was looking through the documents, keeping my distance from those who enjoy the abominable chaos.

It was all a situation report from the current Pentagon of Justice.

Some of them stand out.

“The Holy Undead? ”

Michael frowns, touching his chin.

Heck, I doubted how many times the report was wrong. However, reports of the Holy Undead continue to overlap.

It was like saying that the Divine Undead actually exists.

And the one who summoned it.

‘7 Prince Allen Olfalls. ’

The blood of the Apocalypse summoned the Holy Undead.

Michael swallows his thirsty saliva.

Holy undead? A sacred magic that no saint in history can match.

No, this is not sacred magic. This is a curse!

Michael grips his teeth.

Thanks to this, I could feel that the power of the angelic family was growing.

This had nothing good to do with the Order of Kaolium.

The Kaolium Cult wants to be completely independent.

That's why I wanted to use the Three Kingdoms in this war in Aslan.

Aslan wanted green land, and the Three Kingdoms wanted to be the Holy Land.

The Order of Kaolium wanted its own power.

Bars with a desire for each other.

If you succeed in the invasion, you will be given a portion of your territory to Aslan through a power outage agreement.

Three Pope Rupels ended the war through Aslan and diplomacy. It was to be supported by the Church of Kaolium as a future monastery ahead of his work.

The emperor was going to make such a sect of kaolinium completely independent.

While all that was about to be resolved, all the plans were ruined.

The tyrant won the war, gaining more power and more supportive power, and the three princes were arrested for treason.

Also, the rowdy began to move.

He brought the Bridge family and its noble family into the banquet hall and slaughtered half of them there. The rest of you have been tortured and found guilty of treason.

Celtic Purge began.

‘But there's still a chance. ’

There was nowhere left to retreat as the Kaolium Church, which was guarding the rear of the 3rd Prince Rupel.

‘Confront the Holy Father. ’

We have the power to stop the Holy See.

Michael rolls up his sleeves.

A golden runner engraved deep from your fingertips.

A rune of the miracle that ancient Gaia bestowed on a Saint, a replica of a rune called Aztalun.

I studied it for a long time and only completed it.

It will be used as a force to control the Holy Land.

‘There is also justification. ’

The reason for pressuring the recession.

It is….

“The seven popes made a deal with the devil. ”

Michael smiles.

Summon Holy Undead?

The Saint's Reign of God's Miracles?

All are without shortage to praise the greatness of Goddess Gaia.

But it was also just a vision.

There was a laughter.

It is easy to transform all that into a lie.

Clergy is strong in faith.

It is the undead who are most hostile to them.

No matter how sacred they are summoned, they cannot be erased from their refusal.

Unless you have experienced it firsthand, the clergy will want to exclude the Seven by saying, "We have a contract with the devil."

The misfortune of this Aslan war is also caused by the Emperor 7. "If rumors spread, the public mind is hard to turn away.

Above all, the turmoil is hiding this fact.

There were countless conspiracy theories that would create endless backstory.

If you do well, you may be able to make excuses for the Holy Father himself.

Michael realizes his dream is coming closer and closer.

An influential group, separate from the Great Depression.

The existence of absolute power over such sects.

‘Pope.’

That's the position Michael was hoping for.

The Holy Father with the authority of the Emperor and the Pope.

One of them will gain the power of the Pope.

Then, the conference room door opened wide.

Michael frowns and shakes his head.

As the young priest sighed, everyone stared at him.

It was a complaint about ruining entertainment.

However, the young priest said without hesitation.

“Khh, this is bad! La, Raphael, I have the Archbishop's men! You're talking nonsense...! ”

‘Finally, here you are. ’

Michael clenches his fist.

The letter of the god engraved on his body, 'AzTalun,' illuminated with a golden light.

Though it was just a faux in a myth, its power was no different from the real one.

It was a good thing.

Raphael, Archbishop of the Lord Commander Amon.

You will be fit to test this power.

* *

The wagon is rattling.

Inside the wagon were me, White, and the Three Crown Prince Rupees.

An awkward air flows through the silence.

I couldn't overcome boredom, so I was handed over to Oskar again.

A box made of a special metal called 'Eltera', containing two popes.

I raised my ear to that box.

No sound, no conviction.

So...

I shook it completely.

“Stop, stop! Stop it. You're the Devil! ”

That voice echoed through my ears.

This one tastes teasing.

His voice is intact, but he's still alive.

The Vampire.

I was still alive after being locked up for a few days.

Ordinary humans would be crazy.

I blocked my breath just in case.

As time passes, you hear screams again.

“I can't breathe! ”

I was amazed.

“The Vampires here are really strange. Dead guys breathing. Hearts beating. ”

That's why they call it "false life."

I put the box under my feet and lifted my legs as a platform.

White looks uncomfortable as he watches.

“Allen, I hear you're a vampire, but he's your brother. So..."

“Treat you like a brother? I know that even bloodsuckers treat their families as livestock. So I'm the opposite. Vampires only see it as a game. ”

White kept his mouth shut, I said.

He looked at the metal box underneath my feet and opened his mouth.

“Alan, by any chance, ”

“Just like we saved Luann, if we use resurrection, the two popes, too.... ”

“Impossible.”

I stomped the box with my foot.

Every time I hear a thump, I say, "Stop! My ears are ringing! ’The second prince, Rupel, shouted.

“This Vampire's body is too rotten. Also, even though the body is fine, it has already been undead once. No matter how much I have become the undead or have been dead for more than 10 minutes, I cannot save them. ”

“Rescuing the dead in the first place, it's a matter of faith. ”

Unless you're saving something that can be saved. It is against Gaia's will to save a perfectly 'deceased being’.

That's why the Holy Father hates vampires.

“Better to worry about a living brother than a dead brother. ”

I glanced at the three popes next to me and said,

The 3rd Prince Rupel looked back and forth between White and me in astonishment.

The guy who was so energetic and talkative is now completely depressed.

Of course I did.

If he continues to reach the Holy See, he will not survive.

It's not a good relationship, but it's still a blood relative of this body and a sibling who talked to me to some extent.

Of course I have to make a steam.

“Maybe it's close to impossible. ”

White also pressed down on his temples because his head was complicated.

“Of course, I'll do my best. This is not something we can just walk away from. ”

Treason.

That too, using Aslan, the enemy, to threaten our country.

If we leave an example of such a man alive, the rebellion of nobles and priests will be severe.

Above all, it will be recorded as a humiliating event that should not be in the Catholic Church.

“It is not enough to annihilate the Three. There's nothing I can do right now. ”

That said, I sighed.

You hear a knock at the window.

“Your Highness, we're almost there. ”

I guess we're finally here.

On horseback, I opened the window door on Charlotte's escort's alert.

You can see Lawrence, the capital of the Holy See, far away.

This is my home and home now.

I finally came back to the Holy See.

* *

There was a victory festival.

The people cheered and were scattered with pollen everywhere.

It was a different dimension from the barren atmosphere of Aslan, where only desert and slavery had been seen.

A vibrant and humane city.

It's been a long time since I felt comfortable.

Even though I didn't want to see the turbulence, the liveliness of the city couldn't be better.

"..."

I thought so, until I saw the sights ahead.

“Huff! Huff... I'd rather kill-!"

“Ahhhh!”

“Well, we don't know anything! ”

A well-groomed plaza.

It was originally a beautiful place with sophisticated fountains and well-groomed grass.

Every time I was tired, I used to take a nap here, but now I was turned into a blood-stained torture chamber.

Many nobles were tied to torture chairs naked.

A torturer in a mask takes off his top and holds a hot, toasted iron rod around him.

“... What the hell is this? ”

When I whispered like that, someone spoke to me.

“Oh, Alan! It's been a long time. I'm glad you're okay! ”

First Prince Luan.

He waves with a clear smile in the middle of the bloodstained square.

You look familiar with this view.

I pressed down on my temples as I saw it.

I think about it all the time, but people here aren't normal.

Luan's expression stiffens as he talks.

His gaze returned.

When I saw the 3rd Pope Rupel, I gave him a lively look, and when I saw the white next to him, I looked at him with a complex heart.

“It's been a long time! You've really grown up. I heard the news, but I'm glad you're healthy. You're all grown up now. Oh, you're way past your age. Haha!”

White said with an awkward smile.

But Luan could not say anything to his father.

It was worth it because I met the son of Rose who killed Mother and the father who abandoned himself and left the Imperial Court.

“... His Holiness wishes to see you. ”

There were a lot of questions, but Luan seems to be trying to restrain his emotions.

White smiles bitterly.

“Alan, what are you going to do? ”

I waved the box when White asked.

The screams of the two popes are heard.

“We must lead him to the Holy Father. so that he couldn't do anything more. ”

White's expression is bitter.

“Can't you at least talk to Prince II once? ”

“I can't. What else are you going to do? ”

White sighs.

Oskar and Haman took Prince Rupel III.

Charlotte escorted me to the throne room of the Holy Father with White.

As I stood at the door of the Throne Room with the box, the paladins were alert.

Soon the paladins opened their doors.

Immediately, a flash flashes and White's head falls flat on the floor.

"...!"

I twisted my head in surprise.

Celts emit powerful energy like lightning all over your body. You can see him grabbing White's head and slamming it to the ground.

The floor collapses and White screams.

The thunder echoes in my ears later.

“Ahhhh!”

“Long time no see, White Olfalls, my son! ”

Celt twitches her eye muscles.

He picks up White's head, clutching it.

“Now, wait a minute. No, Your Holiness! ”

“Your sins are grave. You defile the Imperial Court by deserting the Holy Land and fleeing? And now you have the audacity to show your face and come back! ”

Celt is furious.

Lightning flashes around it.

Celt's gaze fades back.

I flinched without even knowing.

Celtic movement was fairly fast. I couldn't even see him coming because he was too fast.

I didn't want my vision to be enhanced by sex, or I wouldn't have been able to respond.

He is the most powerful man of all time.

“... Long time, Your Holiness. ”

Normally, I had to bow down and take a bow, but I didn't have a chance.

“Yes, how are you? ”

Suddenly, Celt's expression softens.

He clenches his fist, his eyes sharpening for a moment.

White's face became pale as his fist became fertile.

He was also able to gather his strength into his body.

I turned my head. White's scream echoes with a burst of air.

The reunion of emotions was blindfolded.

I frowned at the bloodshed of the Pope.

“Charlotte."

Charlotte approaches me and bows her head.

“Yes, go ahead. Your Highness.”

“Let's go to our room, since the Holy Father is gone too. ”

“I understand.”

I don't know what will happen if I stay here for nothing.

I'd rather be in my room resting.

I will also investigate Pope Rufel.

I took a step.

You hear White screaming behind you for help and an explosion sounds, but you ignore it.

It's time for me to rest, too.

My body and mind were tired from the long journey.

The war in Aslan was over and Rupel was caught for treason, but there was nothing I could do.

Now that we've captured the Second Prince Rupel and found out what the Vampires are up to, we should console them.

White will explain the Vampire Invasion properly, so I just need to rest.

Yeah, I was going to.

That night, I heard the news from the order of the Kaolium.

I was called to the Holy Father.

It was a good thing.

A little man in a box.

I was going to hand over the Second Prince to the Holy Father.

"Reporting! ”

In the throne room of the Holy Father, a bloody paladin said in a weary tone.

“Paladins, monks, 457 members from the Kaolium Church. 257 of them are dead, 183 injured, 17 missing. And the Archbishop of Raphael is also dead! ”

The paladin raises his head and shouts.

“The Catholic Church declares absolute independence. And the release of His Holiness Haya and the Three Royal Highnesses, Rufel Olfalls, the Darina family and.... ”

The paladin hesitates.

He glances at me and lowers his head.

“I ask you to question the fallen sins of the Seven! ”

That said, I dropped the box I was holding.

I heard the curse of the second prince, but I ignored it.

I didn't know why I was mentioned there.

I stared at the paladin with a blank expression and asked.

“Wait, why am I getting out of there? ”

I had nothing to do with it.

“That's...”

The paladin groaned.

“It's because we made a demon deal. ”

“And for desecrating the palace during the insults and vampires of the Goddess Gaia, for desecrating the palace, for desecrating Aslan wars, for abusing the children of the noble family, and for desecrating the palace's honor in any other vile life...”

All kinds of charges are being heard.

These are things that are actually related to me. Of course, I don't know the last part either.

From what I heard, it was definitely a mess.

There is a need for them to present it to me.

No, that was an order.

It's …

“I demand a trial of heresy in the Order of Caolium, along with the deportation of the Seven." ”

... to try me as a heretic.
