Chapter 480 – Return

Roman came down to Albireo’s lab to take care of things.

As soon as I entered, I rolled my eyes here and there.

Soon, a dark sigh flowed from between my lips.

“Hmm…”

A hole in the ceiling created when Albireo was thrown outside.

The cracks and other drastic damage that followed had already left the interior in disarray.

It was only for a short time, but it was because he was causing trouble here and had an alliance with Albireo.

Jeez. Jeez. Jeopuk.

It was fortunate that the study table that had been kicked over fell forward.

When I turned it over, the journals I was aiming for were in good condition, although some parts were crumpled.

‘I guess I can read it at this level.’

The paper and books that Albireo used for his records were not cheap, but high quality materials.

As long as you clean off the dirt and dust, there will be no difficulty in reading the contents.

‘I have to do it quickly.’

Roman cracked the cover of the book with his hands. He started throwing things he could find, whether they were notes or diaries, into his inventory.

····

Roman, excited by the thought of returning to his lovers’ arms and pouring books into his inventory, only feels that a change has occurred in the world. He doesn’t really understand the rest of the details, though.

The effect of Gleipnir releasing the saint’s remains and Malphas, twisting them together and locking the dimension was great.

From Pandemonium’s point of view, this is an act of terrorism, blowing up the only bridge leading to the plunder.

The connection between Pandemonium, which is said to be the base for most warlocks, and the current dimension was forcibly severed.

The ripple effect that occurred there was large enough to shake not only the well-known groups of warlocks, but also the existence of warlocks who were holding their breath to avoid the wind of blood blowing on the continent.

A complete blockade that even the goddess could not achieve until now.

This was not an attempt at leisurely change, giving time to adapt.

The world opened up in an instant without giving any time, and the current of upheaval that began to flow does not stop.

The most fatal thing is that the path for the demons who manifested through contracts or nested on the continent to return to their hometown of Pandemonium has evaporated.

Even if you die, your soul returns to Pandemonium. Because the escape route for the devils who were proud of themselves has been blocked.

If you lose your life now, like Malphas, your very existence will truly be erased.

This begins with signs of the weakness of the warlocks that characters such as Asen Primiller and Belk Amaranth encountered while searching the interior of the empire.

It has become a sword that marks the end of the war against absurdity that has been going on slowly and without any indication of when it will end.

*****

As the unclean energy spreads, the religious figures who come to smell the smell cleanse the yard.

A family meeting was held without Roman.

Even if the sword image was carved into the mansion, it seemed possible if one wanted to force his/her life.

The sword image left behind by Ceria was so clean that there was no sign of her breaking down any time soon. Even if the night wind is cold, the weather doesn’t have much of an effect on their level.

Nevertheless, the reason I chose to move was for safety.

I don’t know the exact purpose of Nema Natas, but the biggest thing was that her location was exposed.

Will Dritna or her sisters return to her mansion while no one else is around? We wrote down a note together and hid it between the books we were sharing.

Outside, Liline, Alice, and Rike work together to set up a barrier to prevent petty thieves.

We took our valuables and started moving.

“It’s okay if I carry Seria on my back…”

“It’s okay.”

At Lily’s words, Chloe smiled and said she would do it.

Ceria, who had not yet regained consciousness and was wandering in her dream world, was riding on Chloe’s back, wetting one of her shoulders with her saliva.

Artra is conscious, but his fatigue has reached its limit, and he is being carried by Alice, not by members of the church.

Eclair, who was able to respond quickly when a problem arose, had no choice but to leave both hands empty.

“Let’s go quickly!”

– Shaa!

Fortunately, I had already decided where to head.

The conversation itself was long, but that was because they had so many choices about where to stay.

Right now, there is a mansion that Eclair owns in the capital. The interior itself is larger than Roman’s mansion, so you won’t have any major inconveniences while staying there.

In addition, the first house that Roman purchased was said to be in good condition as Rike continues to maintain it.

If you go a little further away, there is a territory owned by Eclair and Lily.

The place they chose after an amicable exchange of opinions at a complicated crossroads.

The conclusion was a denomination.

··

··

“Chloe’s tears… Strawberry… K… Huh?!”

Seria, who was drooling and talking in her sleep, suddenly raised her upper body as her divine power seeped into her.

Even though I woke up, my blank gaze is still on the edge of a dream.

Even after looking at the family members around him, he had a face that did not immediately understand the situation.

“Seria! Are you okay?”

“Is there any pain?”

– Shaa!

Seria blinked at the incomprehensible violent reaction and moved her gaze around.

“Sister. How many fingers do you see here?”

“Ah…!”

She was able to come to her senses in the strangely familiar hospital room of the nuns, whom she had a close relationship with.

As a result, Seria, who collapsed due to mana exhaustion, recovered quickly thanks to Atra’s first aid and the help of the nuns.

She quickly regained her strength enough to get up from her bed and walk and run on her own.

On the other hand, Atra, unable to recover from the fatigue of battle, convened the high-ranking officials of the church and held a meeting to report.

Eclair and Ricke wonder if there is anything they need to testify. I was sitting in the reception room on the same row as the conference room, drinking tea and waiting.

“Sister. Wouldn’t it be a good idea to get some sleep for a little while?”

“No problem. I completely fell asleep when I moved my body.”

Eclair strongly shook her head at Rike’s words.

Knowing that he would get the same answer even if he asked again, Rike smiled with the feeling that there was really nothing he could do.

“Hmm…”

“It’s no problem if I’m alone here. It’s late, so Rike should go down and take a nap too.”

Tick!

An unexpected light flickered from the signal sphere placed next to her. It was a signal sent by Roman.

“Didn’t we exchange greetings today?”

“Right…?”

A possible assumption arose in the heads of the two people.

Let’s put down the teacup Eclair was holding after swallowing and send a signal in the same way.

Tick! The light briefly flashed on three times while making a sound.

A signal to return. Eclair and Rike’s eyes widened as they saw the light.

“···!”

After calming down his dizzying emotions, Eclair calmly rummaged through the information in his head.

‘To announce your location, hold it twice…’

The artifact was turned on to indicate that the current location was the church.

There was a moment of silence as Roman responded that he understood.

Rike quickly recognized the reality and raised his glass with a smile.

“Where is my brother coming from now?”

“No matter where you are on the continent, that bridge will take you less than a day.”

After taking a sip of warm tea, Rike dropped his butt from his seat.

“I will let everyone know. I also want to see Seria’s condition.”

“Um. Please.”

After Rike left the guest room, humming her song.

The corner of Eclair’s mouth twitched uncontrollably. The dull and awkward smile doesn’t stop.

‘This is absurd.’

With the news that Roman was coming back, the anxiety that had been coiling up in my heart disappeared.

Will the future be okay if I am this dependent on my lover? She thinks about it every time.

‘No, if I just stick with it, will it be resolved?’

Eclair, who had come to a conclusion she could have never come up with in the past, smiled and picked up her teacup again.

Atra comes back quickly, and she has a cute reaction when she hears this.

–

In the conference room, contrary to Eclair’s wishes.

Even though Atra’s report was over, time was running out as there were many topics to discuss.

“There was an abnormal phenomenon in which the warlocks who were fighting against the paladins suddenly died.”

“I heard the same thing from the priest who was with Duke Amaranth. If we dig into this phenomenon properly, it will definitely be of great help in gaining the upper hand!”

Atra hid her fatigue and focused on the story.

“Is there anything in common that occurred when such an abnormality occurred?”

At that time, after receiving her pen from Majella, Atra continued to write down her comments.

Rumbling ───!!

Even though there was no rain, the sound of thunder echoed in the night sky of the capital.

As Atra casts her gaze out the window at her roar.

I could see the dark red thunder pounding and piercing the pitch-black cave.

‘Uh? Could that be…’

I know it makes no sense, but it feels vaguely familiar as this natural phenomenon approaches.

Atra jumped up from her seat at something that stimulated her emotions enough to make her nose tingle.

“Okay, I’m going to stop the meeting for a moment.”

“Saint?!”

With Majella’s voice behind her, Atra left the conference room and went down her stairs.

When she reached the first floor, she looked at the main gate of the order and saw the family members of the mansion coming out and looking at the sky.

‘No way!’

Was her prediction correct? Her heart is pounding

The moment when Atra approaches everyone’s side and tries to satisfy their curiosity.

Crumbling ───!!!

Dark red thunderstruck in front of the church.

A man appeared there.

“””···.”””

The guards, the church’s paladins, the citizens of the empire, and the priests who came out following Atra’s strange behavior ran out at the sound of the noise.

Everyone is dazed by a phenomenon that they cannot believe even after seeing it.

Only a group of women, including a saint and five knights, recognized him and embraced him.

There was no time for them to act while worrying about what others thought.
