3.

“Are you now admitting that your sword is a demon sword?”

Elijah looked at Charon with a bewildered expression.

Who in their right mind would admit that their sword is a demon sword?

“The saint says it’s a demon sword, so what else could it be? It is a demon sword, just as you said.”

But it was here.

Charon lightly swung the guillotine with his right hand.

“This is our ancestor’s sword. Does that mean that our ancestor was also eaten by the demon sword? Thank you. Thanks to you, I was able to find out the truth that our family had been hiding.”

“… … There’s no way that sword was used by the founder of the Duke of Reston. As far as I know, it was used by the current head of the family, Grand Duke Halo… … .”

“If you don’t believe me, go ask your grandfather. That’s what he told me.”

Charon smiled slyly and continued to corner the saint.

“The name of the sword is Guillotine. Its nickname is Decapitation Sword. I didn’t know that this was a demon sword. If we go by that… …then our Reston Duke family is the one who sold their souls to the demons, right?”

“That’s a bit too much of a leap. That’s not what I meant.”

“You just insulted our Duke of Reston.”

Charon’s tongue turns without rest.

The single word ‘demon sword’ uttered by Elijah soon turned into an incident where the Holy Kingdom insulted the Duke of Reston.

Elijah frowned as he looked at Charon’s tongue.

It’s the devil’s tongue.

That tongue must have been the most vicious thing in this place.

But he quickly regained his composure and spoke in a low voice.

“I do not intend to insult the honor of the Duke of Reston.”

“I’m tired of talking at length, so just tell me what you want. There must be a reason for this, seeing as how it’s done even though the demons haven’t been completely taken care of.”

Elijah nodded at Charon’s direct question.

“I would like you to come with us. We need to investigate in detail what happened here and what process was used to fight the Demon King.”

“Are you going to take us away now?”

“Since the disaster in the Empire, it has been nearly 50 years since the Demon King has taken action himself. For the sake of this world’s future, I ask for your cooperation.”

It was a polite tone.

But his attitude was not polite at all.

Phew.

Before we knew it, the knights were ready to rush in at any moment.

It was clear that as soon as Elijah gave the order, battle would begin.

Charon slowly looked at the faces of the knights. Then he spoke to Elijah.

“You guys have no conscience. You guys who came to do the dishes at best, and you’re going to arrest us for all the hard work we’ve done?”

“This is not an arrest. This is an escort.”

“If you keep playing with words, I’ll rip your tongue out.”

These guys are not our allies.

The adage that the enemy of my enemy is my friend did not apply, at least not to these fanatics.

Because normal thinking doesn’t work on crazy people.

And dealing with such guys was Caron’s specialty.

“If you had asked me politely, I would have thought about it. But you brought your weapons first. So, aren’t you asking me to fight?”

“This is all happening because of the sinister power you exude.”

“Look carefully. This is my answer.”

After a while.

Bam-.

Charon spat blood-mixed spit in Elijah’s face.

And he said with a chuckle.

“If you can take me, take me somewhere.”

That moment.

“How dare you, saint!”

A knight standing behind Elijah leapt forward, shouting.

He swung his sword at Charon without hesitation.

Chaeaeaeaaeng-!

Charon lightly parried the paladin’s sword.

My palms started to tingle slightly.

The sword the knight wielded was quite heavy.

“Saint! Just speak, and I will immediately cut off the head of this blasphemous man!”

A face that looks like it’s in its mid-20s.

The divine power used by the paladins was quite different from the magical power of the knights, so it was impossible to measure its exact level.

But judging by the momentum.

‘6 stars.’

He seemed like a guy who could be considered a six-star knight.

Charon sneered at the knight, his sword still against his own.

“This is so vile. Doesn’t the god you worship teach you things like ‘uprightness’?”

“I’ll rip that mouth open, so talk as much as you want.”

I felt a murderous aura that was hard to believe was from a paladin.

He said as he thrust his strength into the sword that was facing Charon.

“I’ve heard a lot about you. You’re said to be the most talented in the empire. But you’re nothing more than a frog in a well. Get on your knees and ask the saint for forgiveness right now.”

“What if you don’t like it?”

“I will cut off your legs and force you to kneel.”

“Are you going to make me crippled not only in my arms but also in my legs? Be kind to me, since I don’t want to be called a priest.”

Caron answered in a sly voice, turned around slightly, and asked Leon a question in a suggestive tone.

“Sister, do you know his name?”

Then Leon answered with a slightly stiff expression.

“If you are a young crusader following Elijah… … . Haphiel Organ. It is said to be the talent representing the southern part of the continent.”

“check.”

Having obtained the information he needed, Caron turned his head again and looked at the paladin.

“Can I call you Haphiel?”

Then Haphiel answered, gritting his teeth.

“How dare a heretic mention my name.”

Haphiel shouted again in a loud voice.

“Saint! Take this blasphemous man down immediately!”

But before he could finish speaking, Charon whispered in a small voice.

“Why do you keep asking for permission like that? If you draw your sword, you should see it through to the end.”

Kaaaaang-!

Charon instantly drew up his magical power and struck down his opponent’s sword.

And then soon.

Phew-!

In an instant, he plunged the guillotine into his opponent’s lower abdomen.

Haphiel’s eyes widened in disbelief at the sudden attack.

What came before the pain was embarrassment.

‘……how?’

I didn’t even notice the signs of a surprise attack.

I couldn’t even imagine that I would be able to stick my sword in during this brief moment.

“Kekekekeke.”

The pain is transmitted to the head belatedly.

I needed to raise my divine power right away, but for some reason, my divine power wouldn’t work.

Something seeped into my body, into my lower abdomen where the sword was stuck.

The energy was crawling like a bug in an instant, consuming the divine power.

“They say he is a talent representing the Southern Continent… … .”

My body begins to stiffen.

The intense murderous aura flowing out of the opponent’s body gradually numbed my senses.

Haphiel looked at the man in front of him with trembling eyes.

devil.

If this man is not the devil, then who the hell is the devil?

“Not anymore?”

The devil whispered quietly in his ear.

dump.

As soon as Haphiel fell, the knights moved.

“Lord Haphiel!”

“You little shit!”

They took up their weapons as they drew on their divine power.

Light emanated from their bodies, and Leo, who was watching them, spoke quietly to Charon.

“That’s a good thing. Why didn’t you tell me a long time ago?”

“why?”

“If I had known, I would have just died at the hands of the Demon King earlier. Haven’t you ever heard what happens if you are taken to the Holy Kingdom?”

“Hey, would those who follow God torture people?”

“… … Don’t you know the Inquisitor? Anyway, you really are… … .”

Leo grumbled as he took up his weapon.

The same goes for Leon and Utula.

They were able to build up their momentum even though they had barely finished receiving emergency treatment.

“Is this your choice?”

Elijah’s kind smile was already gone.

He looked at Charon with a cold, hard expression.

“… … I never thought you would go against the will of God. From this moment on, you are an enemy of the Divine Kingdom.”

“I had no intention of being friends with those fanatic brats.”

“I promise you one thing.”

A bright light burst out from Elijah’s back, and a voice full of anger came out of his mouth.

“I will take you to the Holy Kingdom as a saint and completely wash away your sins. Please be happy. Only a few people get this opportunity.”

“It’s a bit embarrassing to ask me to wash you. Are you washing me yourself?”

“I will make it so that you will never be able to play with that wicked tongue again.”

With those words, the knights began to rush in.

But right then.

Whoosh whoosh-!

A wall of flames rose from the ground, blocking the path between the paladins and Caron’s party.

“Fanatics. You will achieve nothing here.”

Orion stepped forward.

He looked at Elijah with a blank expression.

Then Elijah clenched his fist lightly.

“This is a human matter. It is none of the elves’ concern.”

“No, you are wrong.”

Elijah frowned at the firm answer and looked around.

All the elves on the battlefield were aiming their bows at the paladin.

“My name is Orion Windkeeper. On behalf of the elves here, I warn you fanatics.”

Behind Orion, spirits began to appear one by one.

Wind, water, fire, earth.

The spirits of the four elements representing nature are lined up behind Orion in their own forms.

“We elves do not forget our comrades who fought together. If you try to take our comrades away by force, we will risk our lives to stop you.”

“You don’t hate humans? That’s surprising.”

“We are not so shameless as to question the race of our benefactor. Unlike you fanatics.”

A sad confrontation between two groups that are second to none in terms of chosen people ideology.

Elijah narrowed his eyes and compared the strength of both sides.

I never thought that the elves would protect Charon and his party.

Because the Elves were a closed race that did not hesitate to kill humans who invaded their forests.

No matter how much we fought together, I never thought they would try to protect me in a situation like this.

‘… …If you fight, you win.’

The elves’ condition is not good.

If we pushed forward with force, the difference in power was enough to subdue them.

However, it came at the cost of considerable sacrifice.

Kkaaaaaaah-!

The roars of the living, rampaging monsters were still ringing in his ears, and he had no choice but to make a choice.

Since it has come to this, we must clean up even the demons and leave.

That way, you at least have a justification.

To criticize the incompetence of the Kingdom of Keas and to provide a justification for the Holy Kingdom to project its influence towards the Southern Kingdoms.

“I understand your position.”

Although he wanted to tear the devil-like creature in front of him to pieces, Elijah managed to suppress his anger.

It’s for a cause.

Just as the train goes on even when the dogs bark, the sins of those villains can only be dealt with later.

Elijah looked at Charon quietly.

And he said with a faint smile.

“Attacking a knight of the Holy Kingdom is a sin tantamount to blasphemy. Therefore, I will punish you without fail. You will soon stand before the sacred court.”

I promised to do so in the future.

I am confident that I will meet the author again in the near future, Caron Reston.

The price of sin will be paid when it comes.

“The path you are walking will eventually lead you to evil. One day… …your family will abandon you.”

At those words that were almost like a curse, Charon shrugged his shoulders. Then he kicked Haphiel’s body that had passed out in front of him.

Kuung-!

Haphiel, floating in the air, landed right in front of the knights.

“If anyone saw you, they would think you were the in-laws of justice.”

Slurp.

Charon put the guillotine back in its scabbard and spoke to them in a mocking tone.

“If you came here to do the dishes, then just shut up and do the dishes. That’s the role that suits you guys so well, okay?”

Blatant mockery.

At those words, the knights trembled, but no one dared take a step forward.

If you do that, the elves’ arrows will rain down.

In the midst of the uncomfortable standoff, Charon once again taunted the knights.

“If you understand, then get out.”

The mad dog smiled at the fanatics.

There’s a mad dog living in the duke’s house
