"Hear me!　My name is Ars, the Holy Knight. I have sensed the presence of the Immortals and have come to defeat them. Those of you who have not been affected by the immortal's magic should gather here at once.

　Mercenaries fighting immortals while running away from the place where the Holy City used to be.

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

　I kneaded my magic to reach them and shouted so that it would resonate in the hearts of those who heard it, like Creon's singing voice.

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

　I told them that I came here not as a man of Fontana, but as a holy knight.

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

　Hearing his voice, many mercenaries turned toward him.

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

　At that moment, Archbishop Paul invoked the Holy of Holies.

　A soft pillar of light, different from the "Light of Judgment," appears, giving off a warm feeling.

　The [Sanctuary] has been used to contain the king of the Immortals, but it can also create an artificial safe area when the Immortals overflow into the surrounding area, as they are doing now.

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

　Or rather, it seems that the King of the Immortals was forcibly confined within the safe area, even though it was originally intended to be used in this way.

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

　Perhaps such soft light gave people a sense of security, mercenaries came running toward us from all over the place like insects swarming around the light.

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

　It was quite frightening to see the ruffians with weapons in their hands rushing toward us, but there was an even more dangerous presence chasing after the mercenaries from behind.

　An immortal.

　From the looks of it, he must be a former mercenary who has been invaded by the immortal's magic and turned into an immortal himself.

　An immortal in armor and holding a weapon approaches.

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

　Observing them from a distance, it seems that each immortal has a different physical condition.

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

　Some of them look like zombies with their whole body in a sore state, while others look like bones with their flesh rotting away from their bodies.

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

　I thought that the appearance of immortals might be different depending on the amount of magical power they had.

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

　The more magic power a person has, the more he/she retains his/her original form, and the less magic power he/she has, the more skeleton-like his/her body becomes.

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

　However, considering the fact that the dragon, which is supposed to have overwhelming magical power, became an immortal bone dragon, it may be that everything will eventually become bone.

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

　Thinking of such an unverifiable hypothesis, we accept the gathered mercenaries into the safe area.

"Come on, Bighty-brother, get out!

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

"Yes, I'm on it. Let's go, guys. Kill all the immortals.

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

　Apparently, immortals are not so fast.

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

　The zombies are slower than the mercenaries running away, and so are the skeletons.

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

　So, after collecting the mercenaries for the time being, we were able to attack with a little time to spare.

　The Bite brother on the Valkyrie approaches the zombie immortal with the sword.

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

　With the same momentum, he slices it open with a single slash.

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

　The Bite Brother now holds in his hand the newly made holy sword Granvalka, which he dedicated to the church in the city of Fontana.

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

　It is a sharp Japanese sword-shaped weapon that can attack an opponent without being affected by the immortal's impure magic power, even without [purification].

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

　Its sharpness is so great that it slices off the body of an immortal with a slant and a span.

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

　I wonder if an undead immortal in the undead state can move even if his body is cut off.

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

　I thought so, but it seems I was wrong.

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

　The amputated immortal fell to the ground, and after a while, his body stopped emitting the unholy black magic power.

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

　After a while, the immortal's body ceased to emit the unholy black magic power, thereby ceasing to affect the surrounding environment.

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

　It seems that defeating an immortal is the end of the story.

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

　However, the trouble is that without purification, the attacker will be affected by the unholy magic.

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

　Without [Purification], we may have to be prepared to fight with each other to kill the immortal, and then behead ourselves to prevent secondary damage.

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

　Following Baito's lead, the others defeated the immortals.

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

　It seems that the ice spirit spear is working.

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

　The others were riding on the Valkyrie and attacking with the Ice Spirit Spear, a magic weapon in their hands, by putting magic power into it.

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

　The ice spirit spear is a magical weapon that produces a spear of ice from the tip of the spear when magic power is put into it.

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

　It seems that the ice part of the spear was also purified, and the immortal was damaged without any particular problem.

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

　All we have to do now is to take care not to cause any damage to us, and to kill all the immortals that appear so that we don't miss any.

"Oh, um, thank you very much. Thank you very much. Is it the holy knight?"

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

"Yes, yes. You're mercenaries belonging to the Mercenaries of Marshel, right?　Hmm ......, you look familiar. Aren't you the deputy commander of the Mercenaries of Marshel, as I recall?　It was on the handbook, wasn't it?"

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

Yes. That's right. ......"

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

"Don't get any ideas, okay?　Our first priority now is to defeat the immortals here. You understand that, don't you?"

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

Yes, of course. I have no intention of resisting.

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

"I see. But you will pay for your sins. You and your mercenaries are the cause of all this, aren't you?　Then you, too, have a duty to fight the Immortals. The brave men and women who think they have what it takes will be purified by Archbishop Paul there. Then fight the Immortals. If you do so, I will at least give you credit.

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

"Eh ......, does that mean you will forgive us for what we have done, Holy Knight?"

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

"Not all. But those who fight with us here against the Immortals will be forgiven for some of their sins. If you survive, I promise you that nothing bad will happen to you afterwards."

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

"Oh, thank you. Please let us fight with you.

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

"Okay. All those who are brave. Fight with us and rid the land of this unholy evil.

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

"Yes. Yes. Let's do it, boys.

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

　Good.

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

　A lot of mercenaries survived, and many of them escaped to the safe area we created with [Sanctuary].

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

　If they try to do something to me or Archbishop Paul out of selfishness, it would be troublesome.

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

　So, I decided to use them as a force to fight against them.

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

　By the way, I don't have any authority to forgive their sins.

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

　But I'll leave it to Archbishop Paul to take care of that.

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

"But more importantly, I have a question..."

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

"Yes, what is it, my dear knight?"

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

"What happened to Nadja, the leader of the Mercenaries of Marshel?　I can't seem to see you, where are you?　And wasn't there an immortal king who was the source of the immortals?"

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

Yes, yes. I'm not sure about that. ......"

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

"What do you mean you don't understand?　Tell it as you see it."

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

I understand. Well, Naja, the leader, attacked the Holy City. With a powerful spell called the Light of Judgment. And after it disappeared... the King of the Immortals?　And then he appeared."

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

"So the King of Immortals came out after all?　So?"

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

Well, the king of the immortals saw us and approached us. Some of our members became immortals, and it was confusing. But I could see that the leader was having a little fight with the Immortal King. But then I was also attacked nearby by a member of the group who had turned immortal..."

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

"You mean you didn't see what happened to Naja and the Immortal King?"

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

Yes. But another member of the group told me. He said that the leader cast a spell and a magic circle appeared on the ground. The magic circle glowed and the next moment he was out of sight. And the King of the Immortals who was nearby also disappeared with him.

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

"I beg your pardon?　Is that true?"

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

"Oops, what a surprise. Does Archbishop Paul have any idea about the magic circle?

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

"Yes. Perhaps Nadja was chanting the spell [Divine Realm Transfer] at that time?"

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

Uh, yes. Yes, it seems so.

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

"This is ...... a big deal, Ars. Perhaps Nadja has gone to the god world with the Immortal King."

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

"...... is ah. The God world, is it, Archbishop Paul? You think there is a world of God?"

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

That's right. The Holy City, the headquarters of the Church, is only on earth. But there is another place far away called the Divine Realm, which can be reached by using a spell called [transfer to the Divine Realm], which only the Pope can use. It is possible that Naja, who has increased her magical power by destroying the Holy City, has used that spell to go to the Divine Realm."

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

"Oh, really. I can use that [transfer to the Divine Realm] spell, too. But is there really such a thing as the Divine Realm? I mean, why would Naja go there?

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

"I don't know, but perhaps he used it to escape in a hurry. It is the same kind of magic as the transference stone that you often use, which allows you to travel to a distant place in an instant.

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

"So you are saying that Naja used the magic of [Divine Realm Transfer] to escape from the Immortal King, but the Immortal King was attached to that magic and moved with her?

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

"From what you just said, that is a possibility."

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

　What the hell is that?

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

　Is there really such a thing as a world where God lives?

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

　Personally, I don't believe it for a moment, but since I have been reborn in another world, such a thing may be possible.

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

　I realized after I was told that my rank had been raised even higher, probably due to the effect of Naja's destruction of the Holy City and the increase in magical power.

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

　In addition to [Sanctuary], the spell [Transfer to Divine Realm] had become available.

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

　It seems certain that this [Divine Realm Transfer] is a spell that allows you to travel somewhere if you cast the spell.

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

　And it is said that Nadja and the King of the Immortals entered the magic circle that appeared when they cast the spell.

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

　Nadja, who possesses the vicious magic called "Light of Judgment," and the King of the Immortals, who spreads filth just by existing, the two most annoying beings in this world, have gone to the Divine Realm.

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

"Ars, we're heading to the divine world as soon as possible.

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

　And it looks like I'm going to have to go there too.

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

　If there's a God, let him take care of it.

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

　I almost said so, but I couldn't say so to Archbishop Paul who was in a hurry with a serious face, and I had to go to the divine world.
