Chapter 157 – Demon King’s Church (5)
◈
After cheering for Nellis, Kalt immediately closed his eyes and began looking for a leader in the audience.
It may still be weak for the priest to feel, but the magic energy will be felt stronger than that of the Demon King’s Church priest that Kalt felt.
I tried to concentrate as much as possible to sense the leader who might be hiding in the wide audience seats of the Colosseum.
‘… I found it.’
The time it takes to detect is 2 seconds.
Kalt immediately started moving towards the audience where he could feel the magic energy.
While moving.
“Kwaaaaa! My, my, my arm!”
I saw Nellis cutting off Beriol’s arm.
‘As expected, Nellis is hot because I said in advance that she is a demon lord worshiper.’
Kalt was happy to see Nellis swinging her sword at a disgusting and evil person without hesitation, even though she was a human being.
[Ahh! Player Beriol! This is a serious injury! I think it could be dangerous if I don’t get treatment quickly!]
“Krrrr! Ugh! Go, how dare you…! How dare you…!”
Berriol looked at Nellis with her hatred, clutching her severed forearm.
“Hurry up and surrender. If you keep going, you will die.”
“Keuuuuu!”
Beriol wanted to jump out at Nellis right now and attack her, venting all his anger.
However, Berriol was not completely swallowed up by anger now.
‘Representation… For the greater good… !’
If you use demonic energy, you can heal by attaching the cut forearm.
However, it must not be shown that way.
If someone who is not a warrior shows such supernatural abilities, they are suspected.
If such a situation arises, the plan to sacrifice those in the Colosseum could be disrupted.
The more offerings, the better.
Beriol swallowed her anger and picked up her fallen arm, saying that her sacrifice should not be scattered because of her own anger.
“I abstain…”
‘There is nothing we can do for the greater good… Instead, I will engrave your image of you dying as a sacrifice clearly in my eyes… !’
[The winner and loser of the finals has been decided! The one who held on and held on and held on and achieved victory was the indomitable warrior! This is Nellis!]
“It was good!”
“No, no! My dooooon!”
“Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!”
“Honey! I’m going back eeeee!”
“Damn it! You ate it! What do you do when you’re so big? You have water muscles!”
The Colosseum where cheers and criticism pour in with mixed joy and sorrow.
Beriol raised the corners of his mouth even as he felt the pain of having his arm cut off.
‘With this, the signal has gone. Soon, you will all become sacrifices for the Demon Lord…’
It was then.
Kwaaaaang!
Something flew toward the center of the Colosseum and hit the ground, raising dust.
“…!?”
And Beriol is the center of the Colosseum.
I was shocked to see the identity of the person who fell in front of me.
“Stand, leader!”
“Ugh…”
That is the man who lowered his demonic energy and taught him how wonderful it is to support the demon lord.
He was a leader with the ability to create new believers for the Demon Lord’s Church by receiving magical energy directly from the demon and demonstrating his outstanding talent.
[Well, something! Suddenly, a person flew towards the Colosseum! Is this like an emergency challenge? Could this be his intention to win the championship by beating Nellis, who won? However, under the Colosseum tournament rules, that is not permitted!]
After the host spoke in embarrassment, another person jumped into the center of the Colosseum.
As soon as he discovered the leader, he immediately grabbed the robe he was wearing and threw him into the Colosseum.
It was Kalt.
[Ahh! Another person entered the Colosseum! What on earth! Huh? It’s a face I’ve seen before somewhere?]
We gathered together the priests and leaders of the Demon King Church.
So all that’s left is revelation.
The most important thing at this moment is momentum.
You can’t hypnotize and convince everyone in the Colosseum.
In that case, the most effective thing is to reveal their identity here.
‘I wish I became famous later… I can’t help it.’
Kalt shouted, putting magic around her neck and giving it strength, just as he had shouted to Nellis.
“Your evil plan cannot come true! You devil worshipers!”
Kalt’s loud voice echoed throughout the Colosseum.
“Devil worshiper?”
“What do you mean, a devil worshiper?”
“Those crazy people who serve the devil, not the goddess of light?”
“Beriol and the guy in that robe are devil worshipers!?”
The Colosseum immediately begins to stir at the sound of Kalt’s voice.
While the people were panicking, Kalt tightened his neck again and spoke.
So that people can hear clearly.
“My name is Kalt! The fastest hero! I was a vanguard who belonged to Maybelle’s party! I was the winner of this Colosseum tournament!”
The first to react to Kalt’s voice was the host.
[Kalt! I remembered! Colosseum tournament history! The fastest! The man who won the championship in the shortest time! Kalt! It remains vivid in my memory! The Kalt player who won the championship the fastest! No way! He was the vanguard of the famous fastest hero, Maybelle Party! Indeed! It’s understandable that we won so quickly!]
“The vanguard of the fastest hero party!?”
Beriol and the so-called leader could not help but be surprised by what Kalt declared himself.
The fastest Hero Maybelle Party.
Demons are direct subordinates of the Demon King they worship and are great beings who directly gave magical power to the leader.
The name of the vanguard of the Maybelle Party, who had the reputation of personally defeating the demon, was bound to pose a great threat to them.
“Stand, leader!”
“There is nothing to worry about. The signal has already been sent. The ritual will take place soon. Once the ritual is activated, even the vanguard of Maybell’s party will be destroyed.”
“Oh, you are right. Then, Berryol, I will protect you with my life.”
Berriol, who had sworn to the leader, immediately attached his picked up arm to the severed forearm.
“Hmm!”
Beriol’s arm, which had raised its magic energy to its maximum and greatly increased its regenerative power, was connected again with a clicking sound.
[What is this… ! Without a blessing, Beriol’s arm was attached. So, are you really a devil worshiper!?]
“Hey, Mr. Kalt?! My arm is stuck!”
“That’s right. Even if you do that, you won’t be able to regenerate if you cut off your head.”
“Does a demon die if his head is cut off?”
“Well, I couldn’t test that because I drained his stamina and then stabbed him in the heart, knocking him out.”
Kalt then shouted loudly.
“I’ll say it again! Your plan cannot come true! By using the magic circle you set up in the sewer! The evil plan to sacrifice all the people of this Colosseum as a sacrifice to the devil has already collapsed.”
Sling! Kalt pulled out his sword.
“I am the one who killed all the demon worshipers in the sewer!”
“W-what!? All of our compatriots in the sewer…!”
I thought it would just take some time.
Once the ritual is performed, everyone except those with demon energy will die.
However, Kalt directly said that he killed all the Demon King’s Church members and priests in the sewer.
It was hard to believe that those words were false when the Kalts knew all about their rituals and the places where they were planning to perform them.
It is truly a desperate situation.
The plan failed, and now before our eyes is a monster-like person who attacked the party and defeated Mime.
“Stand, leader!”
Berriol turned to the leader to ask what to do now.
Suddenly!
“Huh?”
It was strange.
I turned my head to look at the leader, but my vision suddenly went down.
He would have turned it sideways, but what Beriol was looking at was the leader’s leg.
When Beriol turned his head, Kalt moved in an instant and decapitated Beriol.
Without even realizing she had been cut, Berryall died, remembering only the leader’s leg.
“Aaaaah!”
In a situation where it was unclear whether he was really a devil worshiper or not, when Berriol’s head fell, screams arose from the audience.
“B-I cut off Beriol’s head!”
“Are you really a demon lord worshiper?”
“Wait a minute! What is that!”
I’m on the verge of panic.
Passsss…
The audience could see Beriol’s body starting to crumble, stained by the sword from the very tip.
“What, why, why is the body collapsing like that?”
“D-I’ve heard that! When a demon falls, it turns into ashes and disappears, leaving behind only its essence…”
“You mean those who serve the Demon Lord also die like demons!?”
“Then you’re a true demon lord worshiper!”
“Aaaaah!”
People who are unable to do this or that and stay in their seats, people who are scared by the fact that a devil worshiper has appeared and want to leave the Colosseum immediately, people who believe in Kalt’s words and quietly observe the situation, etc.
There were various reactions from people in the audience at the Colosseum.
The person who calmed down the confused people at that time was the moderator who had gone through all the hardships and immediately understood the situation.
[Everyone! Calm! Please calm down! Please rest assured! Didn’t you just listen! The devil worshipers’ plan has come to nothing! Beriol, a devil worshiper! No, Berryol also fell down at once! The vanguard of Maybelle’s party! Champion Kalt now! All that remains is to defeat the remaining devil worshipers!]
People who had been panicking at the host’s words began to calm down and turned their gaze towards the center of the Colosseum.
“I’ll finish it quickly, too, because I want to go and wash up quickly.”
“For interfering with our noble plans… For wasting an opportunity to serve the Great One… I will regret it.”
