"What is that pillar of light?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, that's definitely the direction of the Holy City. Maybe that's where the Light of Judgment was used. ......"

"...... didn't make it in time. d*mn, Naja's moving faster than I thought."

"Let's hurry, Ars. We must hurry to the Holy City.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, Archbishop Paul. If the light of judgment was triggered there, it means that Naja is definitely there. It is not safe to approach him unintentionally."

"But then the Holy City!

"Calm down. If you approach them head-on, you may be attacked. Anyway, we must be careful not to expose ourselves from here and check what has happened to the Holy City.

　We drove the Valkyrie from Fontana and continued south.

　We were able to run through several noble and knightly domains without any trouble in the name of the Holy Knights for the Church of the Rescue of the Holy City.

　Although we had to take time for preparation beforehand, I think that in total we were able to come close to the Holy City in the shortest time.

　However, it seems that the "light of judgment" was used against the Holy City just as we were about to see it.

　Archbishop Paul is a bit distraught, and I'm thinking a lot of things myself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Would I have made it in time if I had moved with Valkyrie without any preparation from the beginning?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No, no, no. Was it the wrong time to make a speech like a campaign speech before departure?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I can't help but wonder if something about my actions was wrong.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But all of this is meaningless under the present circumstances.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The only fact is that you did not make it in time, and no matter how much you search for the cause, there is nothing you can do to change the situation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, we have to change our mind and do what we can do at this moment.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At least, it is not a good idea to rush to the Holy City where Naja might be, as I told Archbishop Paul.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　First of all, it is important to be vigilant.

"Signalman, contact home. The Holy City may have been destroyed. Tell them to be ready for anything.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, sir.

"Okay, let's go a little further and use the binoculars to get to a place where we can see the Holy City. We can get more information about what the Holy City looks like at ......."

"Hey, Ars, what's this feeling?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... Oh, this is not good. I have the same feeling I had then. Maybe the Holy City has been unsealed and the Immortals have returned, Thanatos."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah. It's the same bad feeling I had in the woods. I'm sure that the immortals have come out of the woods.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hey, wait a minute, guys. Did an immortal appear?　Are you sure about that?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Maybe, Archbishop Paul. I have no proof, but I sense a presence similar to, yet more powerful than, the immortal bone dragon we encountered earlier in the north forest. It may be that the seal of the Holy City has been broken.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... What a surprise. I never thought that such a situation would actually become a reality. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What do we do now, Archbishop Paul?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Let's go. We need to find out what happened to the Holy City.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay. Then, as I said before, let's first go to a position where we can see it from a distance. After that, we can think about what to do.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay. No, wait a minute. Let's just take a precaution. Let's just put a purification on all of you right here and now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, yes. Thank you, Archbishop Paul.

　The Holy Knights had stopped moving when they saw the pillar of light rising into the heavens.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Archbishop Paul used [purification] on all those who belonged to it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is a miraculous technique that keeps away the filth that the immortals spread and heals the bodies of those who have been affected by the filth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And they applied it not only to their bodies but also to the weapons they held in their hands.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Weapons are also corrupted when exposed to the immortals' magic, but this [purification] allows them to be used without being corrupted.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, if the resurrected one is the King of the Immortals and the lore is correct, he has more unholy magical power than this [Purification] protection, so I don't know how far it will go.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But at least we all have made the best preparations we can for now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After confirming this, I took the lead and drove the Valkyrie to a point where I could see the Holy City.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"There?　There's nothing that looks like a city, but ......, does it mean that everything has been turned into salt already?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Probably, yes. I have seen the terrain from here several times before. It is impossible not to see the Holy City from here. The Holy City has definitely disappeared.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Are you all right, Archbishop Paul?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, I'm fine, Ars. I can't stay upset. So, is that the Mercenaries of Marshell over there?　It looks like they are running away from us. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. ....... Something doesn't seem right."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What do you mean something is wrong, Ars?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The strong presence I felt a moment ago is gone now. But... but... there it is. But there they are...aren't they immortals?　Some mercenary-looking thing engaged it and, uh, lost."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's true. I've never seen this before, but is that an immortal?　The mercenaries seem to be running away from an opponent whose body seems to be in the process of being burned and decomposed."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, that's strange. The king of the immortals is nowhere to be found. What should we do?　If those mercenaries are on the run from those immortals, they might know what happened."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ars, can you help me?　We do not know where the King of the Immortals is, but we cannot leave the other Immortals unchecked either. They must be defeated.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, I see. All right, listen up. We're going to kill the immortals, collect the mercenaries, and find out what's going on. Understood?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

""""" Oh! """""

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I am not sure what is going on anymore.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe the Holy City was destroyed by the Light of Judgment.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But if the intense pressure I felt after that was from the King of the Immortals, I don't feel it at all now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What is even stranger is that no matter how much I looked around, I couldn't find anyone who looked like Nadja anywhere.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If Nadja destroyed the holy city and as a result, the king of immortals appeared, it is strange that both of them are nowhere to be seen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I knew it was risky to show up while we still do not know what is lurking in the city, but still we have too little information.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, I decided to expose myself to the Immortals in order to help the mercenaries who were running away from the Immortals, in the hope that I might be able to hear some of their stories.
