Chapter 499
Olivia Ranze and the priesthood were astonished at the appearance of the huge vengeful spirit colony, but had to fight straight away.
The fight against the unidentified collection of gigantic ghosts took a form that was unclear whether to call it a fight or not.
The huge shape of hatred that would overwhelm you just by looking at it suddenly tore into a pile of dozens of souls in the air, then fell to the ground and attacked the paladins and priests.
– Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
-iced coffee… … . Two, Tuan… … .
The ghosts attacked the paladins and priests in an instant, and they either passed out with crab foam at their mouths or began to complain of pain by tearing their hair out.
-puck! Perk!
Unable to withstand the load on their minds and bodies, their entire bodies and faces began to swell and burst out one by one.
Those who did not burst out began to exhibit erratic behavior.
-Turn it off!
– Squeak!
As if he was overwhelmed by something, he started swinging his sword indiscriminately at the priests and paladins around him.
“Impossed… … .”
It is rare for evil spirits and ghosts to possess humans and do bizarre things, but it does happen.
However, it was enough to possess and wield highly trained paladins and priests.
They were such powerful and overwhelming demons.
There were even those who could not stand the possession of the evil spirit and their bodies collapsed.
They were powerful souls that had never existed in the world.
The pieces of the vengeful spirit protruding from the body of the priests who exploded begin to rampage as if looking for the next host.
I don’t know what to do with the possessed people, but I have to deal with them before they become possessed.
Olivia runs towards the rampaging ghosts.
“Judgement to those who stray from the path of innocence.”
Tiamata reacts to Olivia’s sacred chant and begins to emit vivid golden light.
I can’t think of legitimacy.
If this continues, the priesthood will be annihilated.
You have to do everything you can.
“Peace to the restless.”
– Woo-woo-woo!
Olivia rushes towards the ghost who is trying to find the next host and stabs Tiamata roughly.
“The power to destroy all beings that deviate from reason.”
– Flash!
-Kyaaaaaagh!
“Be in my hands!”
Olivia Ranze is the only priest in the world who does not appeal to God.
-Quarreureung!
Olivia as well as the other priests could clearly see the way the demons caught up in the storm-like release of golden divine power were torn into thousands of pieces and vanished in an instant.
Olivia shouts to the priesthood.
“It is not impossible to defeat! Be strong and face it! It’s just a gathering of ghosts who can’t die and roam the world!”
Everyone in the priesthood gnashed their teeth at Olivia’s harsh cry.
They are the ones who have the power to oppose the unclean beings.
No matter how long they have spent dealing with monsters, it is closer to the original mission of priests to fight against and eradicate these unclean beings.
So don’t panic.
No matter how strong the vengeful spirit, no matter how strong the grudge.
obviously can be destroyed.

the devil is back
The Demon King, who left saying that he could be away for quite a while, returned less than a month later.
But the aides who saw the return of the demon king couldn’t help but feel the strangeness of such a demon king, Reinhardt.
“Reinhardt… … ?”
“A long time. How are you?”
“huh. what am i… … . It took a very long time… … . Are you still early? Hey, why are you touching my head… … .”
Reinhardt’s expression as he touched Harriet’s head saying that he wanted to see him showed indelible joy.
His attitude, gaze, and demeanor gave off the impression of someone who had come from a very distant place for a very long time.
Not only those eyes, but also the momentum itself had a different feeling than before.
It wasn’t anxiety and impatience, but it was to the point where I felt like I had my mind well-preserved with some composure and tranquility.
“What about Charlotte?”
“I will be in the office.”
“Has anything happened?”
“ah… … . that is… … .”
“Why, did something happen?”
“that… … . You’d better hear from Charlotte.”
It’s not that the seasons have changed, but time has passed.
So, while the demon king was away, there was no choice but to do something like this.
* * *
I know that there is no perfect justice in the world.
He knew that if he chose something, he would lose something.
I knew that when I sat in a position where too many things were to be decided, the decision I made thinking it was a choice for everyone would inevitably cost someone.

However, every time the things I knew in my head became the truth and were thrust in front of my eyes, I had to realize that this position was too heavy for me.
“Liana… … ?”
“huh.”
Liana was weeding out the refugees.
It is impossible to count how many survivors have died at Liana’s hands so far.
I nodded blankly as I listened to Charlotte’s calm report.
I was worried that something big would happen in my absence.
But the change was already there.
It was going on while I sat down.
I just didn’t know that at all.
“So until you return and make a new decision, the search for survivors is completely suspended. The base relocation work has also been completely halted.”
In the end, I am the general manager.
Charlotte put all progress on hold, reserving all judgment until I returned.
Regardless of what happened, I couldn’t help but admire Charlotte’s abilities.
To have noticed something I hadn’t noticed at all while reading the report.
After all, it’s not someone like me who sits in a seat like this, but Charlotte is perfect.
“By the way, where have you been? They said it would take a while, so I thought it would take a while… … .”
Charlotte tilted her head.
“And something… … . It seems to have changed a lot.”
“okay?”
“Yeah, I don’t know how to say it… … .”
Just as Harriet was a little strange to me, Charlotte seemed to feel a little strange to me.
At Charlotte’s words, I was at a loss as to what to say.
I have been spending quite a long time in a world where time flows differently from reality.
Would you believe me if I said that time had not passed at all when I came back.
“Where did you go and what did you do?”
“hmm… … .”
I can’t tell you directly about Ilwoldang. It’s not that Luna said to keep quiet about Ilwoldang, but it won’t do anything good for me to talk recklessly.
But when I asked what I did in Lizaira, there was no reason to hide it.
Didn’t something great happen?
To be honest, what I’ve been doing for months has been quite grotesque.
“I came from chopping wood and plowing the field.”
“… … Yes?”
Charlotte must have thought I was joking, I tried to force myself to laugh, but in the end I couldn’t.
* * *
You have to think about Liana’s problem.
It wasn’t just a question of whether or not to punish Liana, but that wasn’t the only question Charlotte had been talking to me about.
A deep pit on the outskirts of Mot Mokna where Liana says people were driven and killed.
“Wonderful soul?”
“Yes, the Head of Demand said that there might be a problem later because of the huge ghosts that are occurring there.”
It seems that Charlotte has already reported the matter to the senate meeting.
I’ve actually seen ghosts in the Vampire Council. But I heard that it doesn’t have much effect in the real world.
However, it was Lucinil’s judgment that too many ghosts could affect the real world.
“First of all, Olivia Ranze, the head of the Holy Church, was dispatched this morning. Because that person would be the right person.”
“Sure.”
“Actually, I don’t think I need to use my hands. Abandoning Fort Mokna is also a problem that can be solved with that… … . But I guess you want to get rid of the trouble.”
Olivia, who was using Tuan’s divine power and was sharing Tiamata with me, would be able to exterminate or purify even an enormous amount of ghosts.
The concentration of ghosts may cause some trouble, but Olivia has already been dispatched to deal with it.
“And, the Empire has now begun to organize a large-scale expeditionary force to subdue the remaining gates.”
Control the gate, which has become impossible with a small number of special forces.
Now the Empire is building a massive army to break down the last gates.
All of humanity’s strength is gathered. And one by one, we will wage an all-out war to destroy the remaining warp gates.
The strongest and last army organized by mankind risking life and death.
If that army disappears, humanity will meet its end.
“We must come up with our own measures.”
You can’t help them openly, but you have to think of ways to support them, even from the shadows.
Because the gate situation is everyone’s problem after all.
“Anyway, you worked hard while I was gone.”
“Yes? no, what… … . Because it’s what I have to do… … .”
Charlotte’s face blushed slightly at my euphoria.
It was something I had to know, even though I had come to know something I didn’t want to know.
What I cannot see, Charlotte can see and read. So, I think it was a good thing to bring her Charlotte to Edina.
* * *
As soon as he returned from Lizaira, he realized that not only was the world going around unusual, but Edina’s going back was also unusual.
The most urgent thing was to judge Riana.
A Senate meeting could decide that, but I decided to face Liana in person.
It’s true that she cheated on me all this time, but Liana did it with the idea that it was a judgment call for me.
Whatever it is, we need to talk first.
Among the Lord Vampires, I wondered if Elerith or Lucinil was absent, and the only one left in the castle was Antirianus, who had returned from gathering information.
“You are back. You are a great being.”
As always, it has been quite a while since Antirianus, who is sly on the inside but has the utmost courtesy on the outside.
I never thought the day would come when I would be glad to see this old man.
“The work was completed sooner than expected.”
“That is fortunate.”
It wasn’t actually finished quickly, but the more detailed it was, the more complicated it was, so I had no choice but to give it a rough look.
I was in Lizaira until this morning.
I had a strange feeling that all the moments of my stay in Lizaira had suddenly become an incredibly distant past.
The day when I can go back to Lizaira will never come, and I shouldn’t even hope for that.
No matter how well everything works out as I hoped, even then I still have a lot of people to be responsible for.
So let’s pretend we had a very long dream.
In a situation where such a life was unimaginable, isn’t it a luxury to be able to take a look at being suddenly thrown into such a life?
“By the way, you’re looking for me, do you have somewhere to go?”
“I need to go to Fort Mokna.”
“ah… … . Are you talking there? I heard that something terrible has been happening lately.”
Antirianus smiled as if he knew why I was going there.
It is said that Olivia went to deal with it. Frankly, since I don’t know the exact situation there, I couldn’t gauge the actual level of the threat.
“Then, I will prepare it right away.”
Antirianus begins casting a mass teleport.
