Chapter 718 – [A Journey to the Demon World]

He gathered information through Korma, but never reached the Pope.

Because my gut feeling was telling me it wouldn’t be so good if I got close. It’s said to be an alter ego, but there’s nothing good about getting close to the Pope anyway, and if you get caught, you’ll just be wary of the other person, so this was better.

And the day of the ceremony came.

It was a normal day, but the wind was cold. Spring should come soon, but the weather was still winter.

“I’ll put you in a suit.”

“Please”

The female priestesses for beauty will put on the ceremonial clothes prepared by them. Although it is intentionally like a mistake to rub or stimulate important parts of the lower body with your fingers, it is meaningless as you can only achieve an erection when you want to transcendence.

In the end, they put me in a wedding dress without any consequences. There are a few priestesses who give off a bit of a pity.

Bring My Wife If You Want My Cock To Stand!!!! I want to be cute just by being next to you, so that place reacts on its own!!!!

“Yes?”

“Why is that?”

“No, it’s fine. Hmm…”

The robe was prepared separately by us, but the priestesses put their hands on it for me to wear. No, even if it weren’t for that, there would have been plenty of opportunities to use their hands in the process of handing it over to us.

The reason I say this is because I caught a bit of a foreign energy.

The heterogeneous aura felt in the robe… That was something material, not spiritual, that is, something was applied to the robe.

“Ah!! You are referring to Kramnus bone powder. It is used because it is an excellent material for absorbing and preserving moisture in clothes.”

“Okay”

I might say it was a distressed reaction, but the clothes had a slight toxicity.

In addition, that kind of toxicity that added to the ominous feeling. If it was only that, I would have just skipped it, but I gently brushed off the powder.

“Hmm, it doesn’t seem to be on other people’s clothes.”

“Yes?”

“No. Nothing.”

I responded appropriately to Korma’s question and moved on.

Apparently, this Kramnus bone meal is only on my clothes.

Frankly, that was a mistake. I wonder if it was on other people’s clothes, but the only thing on mine was evidence that something suspicious was done only to me.

I know roughly. I guess this is it It’s very weakly toxic… But something that exerts great toxicity when it comes into contact with something else.

The poison that is satisfied under special conditions has often been experienced by me. So that’s what you know now.

Let’s get over it for now. It’s just giving them a chance to prepare for tackling here, but it’s meaningless.

“Umm, the formal dress suits you very well. Your Highness seems to look good in black.”

“That’s right. Korma, you look good in purple too.”

“Mongma is generally like that.”

“Are you talking about direct blood relatives only?”

Korma and I on our way to the ceremonial hall had a conversation and soon fell silent.

There was an altar there. An altar that can only be reached by climbing dozens or even hundreds of stairs.

The altar was quite large, and it was such an altar that dozens of people could climb on it, but it was just bittersweet to think of how much money was spent on it.

“Thank you to all the distinguished guests who gathered today. And we will begin the ceremony with awe to the predecessor who made this day.”

Ast Horntail. He is the man who introduced me the other day as Vicar of the Pope.

He took charge of the ceremony that started in earnest and slowly progressed the story.

“There are quite a few people gathered, but…”

“Even the Demon King is coming, but it will be more difficult to find someone who is not the real power of the Demon World.”

As Corma said. The people I have met while demolishing delusional sites stand out. Even though he couldn’t come for a while, coming here meant that he was a person of power.

Yeah, that’s good The important thing is that the public confidence that arises here.

I watched the ceremony in moderation. There were various refreshments on the table in front of me, but there were no snacks.

Oh yeah. There was a chocolate bar. It is made by mixing cacao powder with spicy red pepper powder. What can I say when I tasted it briefly… It felt like eating spicy soup.

“It tastes completely different from chocolate.”

“Sugar and chilli powder won’t taste the same.”

“I like the chocolate side, though.”

“Hey, what’s the chocolate?”

After responding appropriately to Erebos’s words, Roseraira began to intervene. Hmm, come to think of it, chocolate is still popular.

This should be spread to the empire as well!!!!

Concentrate on your consciousness while answering in moderation. The dance of the priestesses begins, which entertains the people to some extent, and then the ceremony begins in earnest.

And he appeared before the pope.

To be honest, it was beyond my imagination. No, if you look at the other person’s appearance and say it’s beyond imagination, it’s somehow a race…… Ah, it doesn’t seem like it’s a race level, but anyway, it was that race.

The pope had the appearance of a lizard man.

At least it’s not the same kind of dragonian. It was just like a Lizardman.

Green skin, protruding mouth and long tail. Looking at his dull brown eyes, it’s hard to tell if he’s a human from the outside. Rather, it feels closer to the monster or there.

“I’m Thraka Swampman, the current Pope of the Black Church.”

“Can’t the women of their tribe be lewd Argonian maids?”

“……Do you have a taste for that?”

“Aaaaah, don’t think about transforming. Shion doesn’t do that either!!!!!”

Shion also has her own taste, so even if she can transform freely, she doesn’t transform just like that. For example, the furry series.

But Korma seems to be trying to suit me, she is trying to satisfy herself while adjusting to my taste. In order of priority, you are number 2 and I are number 1.

For me, Shion is 1st and I am 2nd… But it seems inevitable that each person’s ranking is different. Zion is more important to me than my life, so if you don’t understand that part, I’ll become a stranger to myself.

After calming Korma down enough, I moved on to the next turn. The pope went up to the altar, stood before it, spread his arms, and began the sacrifice.

“The time has come for the long-dedicated sacrifices to finally shine. The God who watches over us has finally come down as the savior sent to save us.”

“……..”

Everyone looked at me at the pope’s words. Because at this point, the only person who can be considered a savior is me.

No, even if it was a rough hit, I was definitely the target. It was because even the predecessor in black was expecting me.

But the Pope didn’t know that and just kept doing this. Is it an leadern rain shower?

“But even so, it’s not the time to rejoice, it’s the time to offer thanks. That’s why we’ve prepared more offerings this time!!!!!”

What should I say about the religion of the demon realm… It’s a bit less of an era.

At least the religion of the continent has reached the Middle Ages, but here it is at an ancient level. Because they make sacrifices and rely on uncivilized things.

I won’t say anything about relying on God, but how about fixing things that are uncivilized like living sacrifices? No, is this a different story because the pope itself is wrong?

“These are the ones who will be the sacrifice of the year.”

At the pope’s words, dozens of men and women lined up in front of the steps of the altar.

One by one, they go up to be sacrificed. The outside looks fine, but no one stands firm in the face of death. I don’t know if it was based on pride or belief, especially if it was just a dog’s death.

Dying is a scary and sad thing, but if the death has no meaning, the feelings are even more intense.

Their gorgeously made-up faces were smeared with tears before they knew it.

“I can see why you didn’t want to recall this.”

“……As expected, right?”

It is a sight hard to miss. People who don’t want to die. And the fanaticism to kill… No, something that wasn’t that.

The feeling of seeing a young life dying before something ugly is complicated and bitter. No matter how strong the demon world is, it is said that the strong do everything, but it does not mean that they do not even have compassion.

Most of the people watching the ceremony had similar reactions to mine. I drank a cup of spicy and spicy chocolate and measured the timing.

Soon, a boy climbed onto the altar and lay down on it.

The pope fed the child something. Apparently, it appears to be a medicine that makes the ritual obscured so that it does not interfere with the progress of the ritual.

…. My sensitive senses detected an undesirable ingredient in the medicine. It’s not just an anesthetic, it seems to contain narcotics.

Well, no matter how anesthetized it is, the best way to endure the fear and pain of being sacrificed is to make it hazy.

“Nuh, okay…”

The child called his sister in the middle of a hazy consciousness. And the pope raised the ceremonial dagger as if to pierce the child’s heart at any moment.

“My child. There is no need to worry. You will soon be by the predecessor’s side.”

It had the face of a lizard, not a human, but there was no problem in reading the expression.

On the face of the pope, there is nothing but greed for something. There is no respect or reverence for God. It was as if he knew why the black body had abandoned him.

Then his dagger was driven down into the boy’s heart.

At just the right timing, I slashed the Pope’s dagger with telekinesis.

Chaeeng!!!!

“No?!?!”

“Fuck the bullshit!!!!!!”

Ah!!!!! As expected, I have to recite this line at times like this!!!!!

“What kind of person are you meeting!!!!!”

At this rate, the pope will become a eunuch!!!!!

*        *    *

The sacrifice is ruined and the area around the altar becomes noisy and noisy. Everyone’s eyes are looking this way, and I walk between them and go up to the altar.

“……Third Prince from the Empire. You may think this ceremony is uncivilized, but it is necessary for the Demon Realm.”

“Consciousness? What kind of ritual? Are you calling the atrocities filled with delusion and obstinacy to achieve your own greed as a ritual?”

You can check it by looking at it yourself.

The Pope is consuming a piece of Sandman. What’s more… It’s very strong.

I’m hiding it, but I can’t hide it completely from me. His expression was strong enough to turn him into a demon lord sword.

The level itself is similar to that of the Demon King, but the size of the power they have is different. It was to the extent that it was possible to become a demon king only by absorbing all of my spirit that Korma possessed.

It is said that he has lived a long time for a demon, but he has more lifespans to change than the lifespan he has lived so far.

It’s not just a racial trait, it’s something else. It seems that his offering of sacrifices has something to do with him.

At least it’s obvious It must be the kind of self-fantasy that absorbs the lifespan or power of those who have been sacrificed. There were innumerable things like absolutism and rapid growth by coveting others without accumulating one’s own.

“I have come to condemn you who have been fooling and deceiving the people and believers with lies.”

And here he paused a little and said.

“I am the 3rd prince”

“I already know. But what authority do you have to interrupt the ceremony? No matter how much you save the demon realm, this is a sacrifice to the whole world. Do you have the right to stop it?”

It sounds logical, but it’s not logical. They say that I am the savior sent by the telegraph to save the demon realm, but to put the telegraph into my event and throw up.

If he mentions God and runs away, just as long as he catches him in the name of God, that’s all.

“I was asked by the predecessor of black, but I did not come in his name. I am an apostle of the gray god.”

“What?!”

“A gray god’s apostles are sent to balance things out. The collapse of the Demon Realm is also a loss of balance, so the mission of the black predecessors to the gray god and me has been given, and I’m here to resolve it. I’m here. What is in is under the name of the two gods, the gray god and the black predecessor. I am only letting you know that I cannot observe the current atrocities in the name of the two gods!!!”

“Um……”

The two names of God cannot be impersonated hastily, and they have different weights. It was a method that could no longer be used to name only one telegraph.

I took out the arena I had prepared in advance from my pocket. I got it separately from Korma and wrote it the way it was written.

Throw it in the pope’s face It’s only about the size of a piece or two of paper, but it’s like throwing a heavy stone at his face! And collide

“This is a dueling ground!!!!!”

“Can I assume that giving this to me… Will result in a duel?”

“Freedom to use weapons, freedom to duel. Regardless of whether the opponent is alive or dead… However, the duel will be in three days from now. If I win this duel, I will have to stop all of the current sacrificial rituals.”

“What will you give me if I win?”

“Anything I Can Do”

“…….All right”

Despite his lizard face, the pope’s mouth was raised enough to make out his smile.

Do you think you’ll win Few things are as good-looking as the smile on the face of a normally confident scumbag when a plan collapses. But I’ll see that expression in a while.

“If I win, I will accept your favorite young dream horse as a sacrifice.”

It’s over the line……..

See you on duel day. Don’t think it’s going to turn out well.
