Chapter 115

Chapter 115Chapter 115: Irreversible Scene of Carnage Two heroes remained in the Divine Empire of Sydnia. Akira and Yamato were pleased by the recent rise of their statuses. 「There’s no problem even without Akane.」 「Yeah, the us nowadays are the strongest.」 In actuality, Akira and Yamato’s levels went up, and their statuses were increasing. At the same time, a transformation of minds occurred. This phenomenon was happening throughout the Holy City, so when Pope Warvaal and Imperial Princess Elizabeth’s own minds started being out of place from their personalities, no one thought it to be strange. Also, the reason for Akira and Yamato’s rapid increase of levels was an issue. The pair, together with Kamui, started an atrocity in the name of persecuting criminal slaves, as well as entering Samandour Kingdom illegally, attacking two villages there and massacring them. They no longer had the ethics and moral views of a modern day Japanese, and even in the world known as Mildgard, they had degraded to mere criminals. It’s not known if the minds of the two heroes would become upstanding the instant their brainwashing comes undone, but they have stepped into a place they can’t come back from. They ruthlessly fired magic and swung their swords at the villagers trying to escape. The massacre of villagers regardless of their gender and age was filled with insanity. 「Elizabeth, how are the heroes?」 「Yes father, they are building their strength favorably. As of recent, they have been doing interpersonal training fights while cleansing[1] the pagans.」 Pope Warvaal asked his daughter, the First Imperial Princess Elizabeth, about Akira and Yamato’s condition after Akane escaped. 「Then, can they move the cleansing of pagans to Valkyra or Lomaria Kingdom?」 「............ Let us see. In both Valkyra Kingdom and Lomaria Kingdom, there are S rank adventurers. For the current heroes, it would still be too much for them.」 「I see. ............ Indeed, not a year has passed since the summoning of the heroes. As expected it would be too premature for the heroes to take on S rank adventurers.」 In this continent, there are currently 3 S rank adventurers in existence. 1 in Valkyra, 1 in Lomaria, and 1 in Gnomstoll. Sydnia and Triaria have war potential comparable to A rank adventurers, but at the same time, there is a large divide between the A ranked and the S ranked. It is unimaginable on Earth, but in Mildgard where status and levels exist, a single S rank adventurer is a being capable of influencing the state of a war. 「If we are to carry out a pagan cleansing in Valkyra or Lomaria, we have no choice but to pretend to act as thieves and bandits.」 「Our Light God Faith could not imitate mere thieves and bandits, could it?」 In Samandour, their raiding and slaughtering of the innocent village was no different from the conduct of thieves and bandits, but to Warvaal, the events in Samandour had already forgotten. At that point in time, Warvaal and Elizabeth were not sane, but no one noticed. Warvaal and Elizabeth discussed what country the next pagan cleansing, which would ordinarily be seen as an act of terrorism, would take place in. The Divine Empire of Sydnia is no longer a religious state, and reduced to being a monster nest. At the castle seemingly floating on the lake in the royal capital of Valkyra Kingdom. In one of the rooms of that strong and beautiful castle was a man whose glabella furrowed from the report he received. That man was this country’s king, Lobos Valkyra. Prime Minister Simon von Portfort was reporting information that came in from the intelligence division. Knight Leader Galahad von Bauer who was likewise sitting next to him could not conceal the anger in his masculine face. 「............ huu, what is the Light God Church thinking?」 King Lobos sighed deeply. The information Simon brought was about the violence caused by Kamui and the heroes in Samandour Kingdom. 「Our land and Lomaria Kingdom are considered very likely targets as well, therefore I believe we must solidify the information sharing with Lomaria Kingdom and reinforce the patrolling security at villages and towns.」 「Fumu, preventing illegal immigrants completely is difficult, however we must cooperate with the Adventurers Guild to reinforce the security per village.」 Simon and Galahad both understood that completely preventing the terrorists from entering the country was impossible. That’s because there’s no way they could police the entire border. Furthermore, the information on the monsters activity in the surroundings of Sydnia and Triaria that was reported to Lobos held a sense of impending crisis, and an even further detailed report was being gathered. 「Shall we appropriate a special budget?」 「Hm? Appropriate a budget? Simon, what will become of the money?」 「Your Majesty, how about consulting with Iruma-dono? As your Majesty knows, Iruma-dono is currently protecting the hero who fled from Sydnia. As part of sheltering that hero, we manipulated information in the continent. During that time, Iruma-dono took refuge in a small village by the border, Bohd village. We were informed by the intelligence division that, there, Takumi-dono had constructed golems for security.」 Only a few days have passed since Takumi stationed security golems at Bohd village and that information had already reached Simon. 「Are they identical to the golems protecting Iruma-dono’s mansion at Volton?」 「Yes, they likely have performance of the same level.」 「Only, given that it is impossible to budget stationing golems at all villages and towns where soldiers are insufficient, I am of the opinion that there is a necessity for us to have Iruma-dono to devise another method besides the golems.」 「Let us turn the reserve knights to security patrol. Anything is better than nothing.」 「Fumu. well then Simon, consult Iruma-dono for countermeasures immediately. Galahad, intensify Knight Order’s surveillance on the Light God Church.」「「Ha!」」 Contrary to Takumi’s desire to live peacefully, the world involves Takumi.

Footnotes:

The word they use is actually more on “repel or expel” rather than cleanse.
