I Became a Dark Knight the Empress Is Obsessed With - I Became a Dark Knight the Empress Is Obsessed With chapter 118

118 – Apostle of Lust – (2)

Less, less.

A wagon that moves forward vigorously.

On that road, we set off for the very place we were supposed to be.

In a way, it was like going to a battlefield, so Lyncia and Yuria were controlling her heart with a firm expression. Seira, well, as always, she was being blunt.

“Ugh. How the hell did this happen…….”

Meanwhile, Merta seemed to have only one thought of wanting to go to her house.

She looked at it and was lost in her thoughts.

“… ….”

According to the information so far, the probability that Merta is an elementalist from her outer dimension is quite high.

However, it would be hard to see that she has already changed her mind when you see the prickly look she is showing right now.

She was right in thinking that, like Lautrec, she would side with the Church under the influence of the spirit realm’s corruption. As much as Mertha has contracted with numerous spirits, her aftermath will be greater than that of other spirit magicians.

Anyway, there was nothing I could do right now.

It remains to be seen.

As she closed her thoughts and looked out of her window in boredom, she saw a blue-tailed meteor flash past in the already darkened sky.

Is it a shooting star? It’s rare.

Seira came up next to me admiring me and poked her cheek.

“It’s common in High Linx. A lot of meteorites fall.”

“Whoa. Is that so?”

“The best catalyst for magic. Knights also use swords made from meteorites. It’s good for storing mana.”

A sword made from a meteorite.

Coming to think of it, the sword Lautrec wielded had a slightly different color than normal steel. It was engraved with runes or something, and it contained mana that was much stronger than a normal sword, enough for Sylphy to ride on it.

It’s probably a treasured sword produced by High Linx.

“So, is the sword Millia uses also made of a meteorite?”

“No? Leah is producing at High Linx because that is the principle of not breathing even air.”

“Definitely.”

“Right before you left home, did you hold your breath halfway through the mix? Really how cute Don’t you want to see it?”

“…… I’d honestly like to see that.

Imagining young Milia gasping for breath and walking around on the pole made me laugh.

Then, feeling her stinging gaze, she turned her head, and Lynxia was looking at the two of us disapprovingly.

Seira slipped away from the body she was holding onto me.

Only then did Lin Xia look at her. Where her attention was directed was Mertha, who was looking out of her window.

“That, Mr. Merta.”

“Yeah?”

Merta, who was looking out the window alone, was startled and looked this way.

And she blushed slightly as soon as she realized that it was the beautiful boy who called her.

Lynxia scratched the back of her neck as if each of those reactions was burdensome.

“Mr. Merta seems to have a deep understanding of spiritism.”

“…… Ahahahaha. You are over-appreciating.”

“No. I think it’s great. I also made a contract with one spirit, but no matter how hard I try, I can’t bring in another spirit.”

“Ah, you are an elementalist. No wonder.”

Merta nodded her head.

I don’t know what she looked at and figured out that Lin Xia was an elementalist, but she seemed to have the touch of a person in the same industry.

Merta moved to the seat across from Lynxia, and she asked cautiously.

“Can I look at your hands for a minute?”

“Yes?”

“The difficulty in making a contract with another spirit is more likely to be a problem with the caster’s mana pass or affinity with the spirit than with the spirit.”

In fact, it was only natural that Lynthia couldn’t make a contract with more than one spirit. That’s also true, in terms of the game system, the spirit and magic memory slots increase only when the first digit of the intelligence stat changes.

Right now, Lynchia’s intelligence stat is 15. In order to make a contract with another spirit, she needed 5 more stat points. Well, judging from the soaring trend of Lincia’s intelligence stat right now, by the end of Act 4, she might be able to make a contract with another spirit.

“Well then.”

Lynxia held out her hand, and Mertha held her hand with her trembling arm.

Merta swiped the back of her hand once, then turned her inside out and looked closely at the lines on her palm.

And then.

“Heh, hehehehe.”

She let out an eerie laugh and made the corners of her eyes curl.

Lynxia tried to pull her hand away with her pale expression, but Merta gently swept the palm of her hand.

At a glance, he seems to be fulfilling his selfish desires.

“Um.”

She said she was in a bad mood, so it was a female Sinclair.

As expected, that bastard isn’t normal either.

Soon we arrived at the place we were aiming for.

There were small trees growing sparsely in the wide basin. There was a slight darkness along with water mist on the ground, but thanks to the moonlight that was brighter than that, it was enough to tell the son-in-law apart.

“Definitely. It smells rotten.”

Sayra got off the carriage and frowned at her.

She held her nose. It was like a bad stench.

At the same time, I also paid attention to my sense of smell, but there was no particular smell. Perhaps only Archmage like Seira is capable of it.

“I don’t know what it smells like, but it seems to emit strangely spicy mana.”

Merta also said while sweeping the grass lying on one side. Lin Xia also shook her head.

Well, it was difficult for me to understand because I can’t use magic.

“So, is this the right place?”

“Yes. I don’t know even the apostles, but it’s clear that the cult bastards did something stupid here.”

“Then you should search around.”

Lynxia pulled out her wig as if responding to my words.

Wig was suffering from the power of foreign media, but it seemed that she could still do her job, perhaps thanks to Lynxia’s chaste mana.

Eventually, while Wig flew in the sky and looked around her, Lyncia, who was sharing her senses, was sweating profusely.

“Sensory sharing?”

Looking at her, Merta opened her eyes wide.

Actually, after hearing Lautrec’s story, she found that sharing the senses with the spirits was a secret skill that only top-level elemental magicians could use. It wasn’t strange that Merta was so surprised.

“…… Whoa.”

Soon, Lin Xia opened her eyes.

Wig, who was flying in the sky, flew in silently and rode on her shoulder.

“No. Nothing around.”

“Hmm.”

Well, I didn’t expect it to come out so easily.

Are you saying you have to run and search after all?

“I’ll have to pick something up first.”

I took Ernst out and listened.

The moment I saw Ernst bathed in moonlight, Merta looked at my face in surprise again.

“Everyone, what about you… ….”

Merta freaked out and took a few steps behind her.

And the next moment.

A tearing sound filled the surroundings.

A vibration that made it difficult to stand at the same time rang the ground.

“Kuu!”

“What, what! This again!”

In a sudden situation, I reflexively pulled Lynxia into her arms.

As she looked around her while protecting her, there was a hand grabbing the hem of her sleeve inside her.

Looking over there, YuRia was looking up at me with her pale, hard face.

“Why, what is it?”

“…… It’s her.”

“What?”

“… ….”

Yuria’s last words did not continue.

It was because the sudden sound suddenly cut off and the place where we were standing was suddenly covered in darkness.

When I raised my head, unlike before, the dark moon with a strangely reddish glow was floating high in the night sky.

Across the moonlight floating darkly as if it were soaked in muddy ink, a dark red human figure appeared in the air.

“As expected, it was them.”

“…… You.”

In time, my eyes got used to the darkness, and I was able to confirm the figure of a person floating in the air.

She was a woman with pale pink hair, dressed in suggestive clothes with her back exposed. The rings on her long fingers each glowed a different color.

It was the first time I had seen her, but I could tell just by looking at her that she was affiliated with the Order.

“I noticed it as soon as I heard the story from Mr. Pedras. An Arch Mage, her knights accompanying her, and one of her noble maidens. I thought it was long, but my prediction was correct.”

“… ….”

“Should I introduce myself?”

The woman grinned and ran her long tongue over her pale lower lip.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Seneca, the apostle of lust.”

“…… The apostle of lust.”

Is that the person Yuria told me about in the dungeon?

She was even an apostle. In the end, here in Highlings, there was another apostle besides Pedras, the apostle of the abyss.

Now I understand. The reason why Leonard couldn’t thwart the Apostle’s plan in the original game.

The center of the plan was not one apostle, but two.

From noble mtl dot com

“There are many familiar faces. There are also faces I miss.”

The woman, the apostle of lust, Seneca, floated in the air and came a little closer to us.

“…… Uh huh.”

Yuria’s hand, which was holding onto the hem of her sleeve, began to tremble.

Seneca smiled brightly at Yuria.

“Hello, YuRia. It was you too.”

“Three, Seneca.”

“The news of her betrayal of the Order sent her scabs over her ears. I’m not surprised. Certainly, you have had a corner like that since the old days.”

“That, that is.”

“It’s okay not to make excuses. I want to listen to it myself from now on.”

Soon, Seneca’s red eyes turned to me and Lycia, who were next to Yuria.

“Long time no see, Mr. Iscobal. I miss Cleta a lot.”

“…… Uh, yes A long time.”

I was taken aback for a moment, but I managed my expression.

Coming to think of it, Seneca, like Yuria, was also one of the victims captured at the time. It wasn’t strange to know me either.

“The handsome boy in it must be Irene, right?”

“Okay.”

“You have no talent for lying.”

A breeze blew around Seneca as she snapped her fingers.

Because of the wind, Lyncia’s bangs were slightly disheveled. As if her goose bumps, Lynxia trembled in my arms.

“I am sorry that I had to serve customers instead. I’m sorry, but Mr. Pedras is currently away. Therefore… ….”

Pain!

“Oops!”

“What kind of apostle has such a long tongue?”

The magic bullet passed Seneca’s ear in an instant.

The golden mana exploded in the air, and the aftermath made the night sky bright like daylight.

Seneca, barely avoiding the attack, hurriedly looked at the source of the attack, and there was a mana-clad Seira with her arms crossed with a displeased expression.

“…… It’s also an Archmage. I almost died.”

“That’s because I shot you to die.”

Seira prepared another magic in her hands.

Then he looked at Seneca with a grin.

“No matter how early summer it is, the days are chilly. Wouldn’t it be cold to walk around in clothes with holes like that? I’ll warm you up from now on.”

“…… Hmm. I don’t think it’s that cold.”

Seneca, as if slightly intimidated by Seira’s spirit, said that and stepped back from her.

But she never ran away, she spread her arms wide.

“Well, it doesn’t matter. It was because I was prepared for the existence of the Archmage.”

And around us, numerous shapes began to appear.

“So, I prepared everything.”

All of them were foreign agents wearing robes. Some of them were chanting incantations with authority wrapped around their bodies. Was a priest

A rough estimate of the number of them, including the priest, is around fifty. It was safe to say that it was almost all the power that the two apostles could draw.

“On behalf of Mr. Pedras, I will treat you to the extent that you are not envious of others.”

Furthermore, this army included the apostle of lust, Seneca.

A situation where a considerable struggle is expected. Even if there was a crack called Archmage, there was no choice but to bleed with this number.

But Seira said, opening her eyes wide that it was okay.

“Yes. Please make me happy This b*tch.”

“It hurts my heart to call you that.”

Seneca laughed mischievously and waved her hand.

That was the signal.

The church’s subordinates rushed in unison.

“Damn it.”

Nothing is going right.

I took Ernst out and listened.
