EP.360 The Fall of the Moon (38)

Tata tata tata tang!!

Again, an ear-piercing explosion was heard, and silver orbs flew in all at once.

The strange sticks they were holding, fire shooting out from the ends at the same time.

Is it the same principle as the hand cannon that Monster Hunter Ray was holding? But how can something so small have that much power? A weapon that the Empire has been hiding for a long time? Or weapons from the ‘Shimmering Lands’?

No… that doesn’t matter.

“No… Everyone get out of the way! You can’t get hit!!”

Yael, who had come to the same conclusion as Blanc, that ‘the liquid contained in that bead is spreading the plague’, shouted urgently to the werewolves under her command.

But it was meaningless.

Because it was a surprise attack by a weapon they had never seen before, only a few werewolves were able to dodge it, and even those who were able to dodge chose to block it out of fear of others getting hit.

And the results were… immediate.

“Oh my god, Mrs. Alga! Are you okay!? Your arm-”

“Ah, ugh… extreme, ugh, groan… .”

When Blanc arrived at the Broken Moon Village, the first person he saw was the person involved in the tragedy, the werewolf Alga, who had lost her long-time friend and husband to Wolrang. Her eyes instantly turned red.

Her bloodshot eyes turned to Wolrang, who was supporting her nearby.

“Do you know, Madam?”

“──Get away from her right now!!”

Jael’s desperate cries were in vain.

Alga sharpened the claws on his forelegs and stretched them backwards, piercing the stomach of the beast.

It happened so quickly that no one could stop it.

“no!!”

“Uh… uh… uh… .”

“You… you… it’s time… you… us… … .”

Alga spat out fragments of words here and there, then pulled his front paw out of Wolrang’s stomach and swung it.

The blood of the werewolf who died a meaningless death splattered on the ground, and a corpse fell on top of it.

Alga let out a broken roar as he trampled the corpse.

“You are bad because you took everything from me… The wolves are bad… All bad wolves must be killed!!”

“Ma, stop it! Use your strength to calm Mrs. Alga down- Keu, gasp… … ?”

“Ke, kek, you weakling… are so noisy… all you do is meddle… what’s so great about that!!”

One of Yael’s adjutants, who was trying to somehow control the situation, was impaled on the back by a claw.

His subordinate was hit in the shoulder by a marble.

“Oh my- what the hell!!”

As the situation grew out of control, Yael ran towards her people, cursing viciously.

It must be to somehow minimize the damage.

Tirasya also didn’t know what to do, so she headed towards her family and used some sort of magic like a shield to protect the werewolves around her.

But either way, it seemed clear that they were inadequate to handle the situation… … .

… … The refugee procession that had been trying to find new hope just before has now turned into a hellish situation where people are killing each other while being consumed by madness.

As Blanc was speechless at this horrific sight, he heard another burst of giggles.

“Hahaha… This is a masterpiece. I didn’t expect such an immediate response.”

“you…….”

“I just ‘provoked’ them a little bit, and this is how it turned out… I guess they were really angry with each other? There was no need to borrow the power of books in the first place-”

“You bastard!!”

Blanc, whose anger was rising to the top of his head, drew his silver sword and rushed at him.

The silver sword had been wandering around, losing sight of the evil it was meant to end with, but this time, there was no confusion.

That guy was evil.

And evil had to be punished!

“I’ll cut off that neck!!”

“aha?”

The fourth archbishop, a man who saw Blanc running towards him with all his might, opened his eyes wide.

After a while, he snorted in laughter.

“You speak better than you look. Are you a mongrel? Hahaha! You are worse than a bastard born to a prostitute in a back alley, but you still managed to receive your mother’s love. How brave!”

“──”

“Yeah… What else did you learn from that worthless mother besides vocabulary? It’s probably not even the slightest sword skills. How to spread your legs? Hmm, it’s disgusting to think about, but it might work for those with special tastes-”

The area before my eyes turned red.

Blood rushed to the tip of my head, all other thoughts disappeared, and in my blurred vision, the only thing that came into view was the tongue of that bastard I was going to kill.

First, I will tear out your tongue, and then I will tear off your limbs with my bare hands. Then, as you crawl on the floor like a maggot and beg for your life, I will throw you onto an anthill and let you eat your flesh.

I will spit in your face, distorted by pain, and I will mock you as you die, without missing a single moment.

I won’t even allow you to pray──

“Blanc, Blanc! Calm down!!”

“What!? Don’t bother me, bitch! You’ll be fine later-”

In that moment, the goblin that was running suddenly stopped.

It was because the purple dominion had dug into the gap of the fire that had set his head on fire red.

– I told you to calm down!!

“Ah, that, Kahak… … ?”

– … … Huh? Domination, through? Wasn’t it… immune?

Rather, it was Nellyvia who was more embarrassed.

It was a face that said, “I never thought this would happen.”

Then why hasn’t the command worked until now?

It’s not like you were immune to begin with… You just endured it?

So, now that you’ve lost your mind, domination has become possible?

How… is that… possible… ?

Nelivia, who was riding behind Blanc, stared blankly at his face.

But that was only for a moment.

The girl clenched her teeth and exerted her dominance over Blanc’s subconscious.

– … … Stop and catch your breath. Are you the kind of person who would be shaken by something as trivial as this?

– Ah… no. I don’t see… that ugly appearance…

– Yes. Come to your senses. The guy who resisted my rule is now being fooled by this trick-

– So that Annelly… won’t be disappointed… … .

– what?

Without answering Nellyvia’s questions.

The dominance she had been exercising bounced off as it always had, and Blanc, who had been paused for a moment, gasped.

“Just now… what did I… … ?”

“Are you back?”

Nellyvia, who was being carried on his back, let out a deep sigh of relief.

“Nelivia, what is this? What did it do?”

“anger.”

“what?”

“Due to their special nature, the Demons study and practice all kinds of emotions. Among them, the seven emotions that are easiest to handle are collectively called the Seven Negatives… The fourth of them is anger.”

Nelivia said, glaring at the fourth archbishop.

“Also, this is the source of power and violence… Since when did the religious sects start dealing with the seven negatives?”

“Seven negatives?”

The archbishop answered, tilting his head obliquely.

“I don’t know what it is that you know so much about the Demons, but… I don’t know what the Demons are talking about. The powers that He has given us are the seven virtues that Yul loves the most!”

“under?”

“Humility, mercy, kindness, patience, chastity, temperance, diligence… among them, I am the one who has been given the name of the fourth virtue – patience, Ira Leiras!”

“Patience… you say?”

“It’s probably unfamiliar to lowly trash like you. Monsters are beasts that can’t even properly control their natural instincts!”

The fourth archbishop, Ira, twisted the corners of his mouth into a sinister grimace.

“How dare you… defame my noble and lofty fourth virtue in the name of mere injustice? I can’t stand it… I absolutely cannot forgive you!!”

Bam!!

He slammed the cane he was holding onto the floor nervously and shouted.

“I was going to watch you, a lowly mongrel, tear the woman you were carrying to pieces in a fit of rage, but now you don’t even think of showing the mercy that you yourself are waiting for! Don’t let this happen any longer! Now kill them too!!”

Blanc opened his mouth blankly.

I paused for a moment and wondered why the others didn’t attack when there were so many gaps… and it was for this crazy reason?

I felt my anger rising again.

But the moment my vision turned red like before, something purple settled in my head and wouldn’t allow the erosion of anger.

This time, the anger that welled up was not personal… it was anger at the very fact that ‘such trash exists in this world.’

“… … Nellyvia. Is there any way you can help me?”

“If it’s just a matter of blocking the silver ball a few times… … ?”

“That’s enough!”

Blanc gritted his teeth and lowered his posture.

Taang!!

Almost simultaneously, Blanc kicked the ground and charged, and several of the enforcers who weren’t engaging the werewolves fired silver orbs.

Also, the speed was almost the same… so the Blanc and silver beads collided right in the middle.

– Kakakakang!!

‘I blocked it!’

The moment the beads came into view of Blanc, a purple, translucent spherical protective shield revealed itself.

Not only the beads, but also the black blood pouring out of them were blocked by the protective barrier, and he watched them freeze and crumble with one eye… Blanc suddenly rushed in front of Archbishop Ira.

“… … Huh?”

‘Slow reaction!’

Whether it was because he was young and inexperienced, or because his personality was simply disgusting compared to his abilities, his face distorted in shock only after he realized that Blanc had barged right in front of him.

He panicked and tried to hurriedly step back, but his foot got twisted and he fell.

Running away is impossible, and at this distance there is absolutely no way his sword will miss.

It’s the end. Blanc raised his silver sword horizontally and stabbed Ira in the heart.

– Kakang!!

“… … !”

Just before the silver sword could pierce the dark heart of evil and burst it, there were swords that cut through it, knocking his sword upward.

If it’s obvious, then it’s obvious that it’s the executors.

Unlike those who were now holding strange sticks, there were three blue-clad executors standing by the Archbishop’s side, holding swords.

‘As expected… it can’t be that easy… … !’

“What, what, what… what? What is it, how is it… … ?”

While Blanc clicked his tongue in regret and straightened his posture, Ira, who had fallen on his buttocks on the ground, let out a voice that was frozen in place.

Then, a moment later, the archbishop, seemingly in a state of fever, pointed his staff at the blue executioners and shouted:

“Why do you think I didn’t give you guns!? It’s to protect me!!”

“… … .”

“What on earth did that lowly mongrel do to get this close!? You incompetent, filthy bastards!!”

“… … I’m sorry. I didn’t know that goblin was that fast.”

“Shut your mouths!! You have already disappointed me. Think of this as your last chance, and this time, carry out my orders properly!! Got it!?”

Ira stood up unsteadily, leaning on his cane, and shouted, pointing at Blanc with trembling hands.

“Catch him, kill him!!”

The blue executors all disappeared, leaving behind afterimages, and then appeared from different directions, instantly surrounding Blanc.

It was truly the executor’s fault for not being able to find any sign of relief even after hearing such unreasonable verbal abuse.

… … So, what should we do now?

If the feeling was right, it would be easier to cut off the head of that Archbishop than to catch a squirrel, but now he has to deal with these three executors as well as those who are aiming ‘guns’ at him.

Before he took advantage of the gap, it was questionable whether he would ever be given an opening by these formidable enemies… … .

… … .

… … .

… … ?

‘wait for a sec.’

Blanc, who was holding a sword in both hands and glaring at the executioners, suddenly frowned.

Three blue enforcers surround him.

One of their faces looked… familiar.

“… … !”

The moment Blanc’s suspicious gaze turned towards him, the blue executioner, who had not even flinched when enduring the Archbishop’s unreasonable anger, flinched.

That was understandable.

Because the blue enforcer was the one who had not taken his life despite his victory about a week ago.

But, what the heck… … .

‘Why on earth is this guy here?’
