The Guild Master of Demon Hunters that the Empire is Obsessed With - The Guild Master of Demon Hunters that the Empire is Obsessed With chapter 116

116 – I Desperately Searched for You (3)

Meanwhile, the empire.

Emeric, who had just arrived at the palace with his knights, forgot his words.

The once grand Daesinjeon was now a pitiful ruin, drenched in drizzle.

Legionnaires deployed for rescue and damage recovery work were seen moving about the rubble like a swarm of ants on a cake that had fallen on the ground.

However, the half-collapsed colonnade and the fountain in the plaza, where all the paving stones were completely destroyed, said that this was the main shrine.

It was Daesinjeon.

That would be an accurate expression.

What on earth happened here?

“Heavenly punishment! Heavenly punishment has come! God is angry!”

When I turned around at the sudden shout, I saw the high priest in disarray being led out by legionnaires.

“High priest!”

As Emeric drove his horse that way, the high priest shook off the legionaries and ran this way.

“Sir Emeric! Heavenly punishment! God has sent heavenly punishment!”

“Heavenly punishment? God?”

“God! God himself came down and punished us!”

Seeing the high priest drooling, Emeric realized what was going on.

Could it be that Leonard released the gray giant here?

Did you really do that?

There are hundreds of priests with Halos in the Great Hall.

You’re crazy for even thinking of attacking a place like that, but how are you going to deal with the aftermath?

So I’m just going to leave.

As the thought reached that point, cold sweat began to break out on Emeric’s back.

“Sir Emeric! The Chief Saint is looking for you!”

At that time, a corps officer ran towards me and said.

“The chief saint? Is she alive?”

“Well, that’s right… For now, yes.”

I passed the hesitant corps officer and headed to the tent erected in the corner of the square.

Emeric, who was opening the tent, was started by the strong smell of blood.

“Eh, Sir Emeric…” ” . Are you here…”

A corps medical officer lingering near the entrance greeted Emeric with a pale face.

An expression as if he had seen something incredibly scary.

“Where is the chief saint?”

“Inside… Then, you two can talk…”

With those words, the medical officer passed Emeric and ran outside.

Emeric entered the tent with an ominous feeling.

[Welcome, Emeric.]

There was another screen installed inside the tent, and Calliope’s voice could be heard through it.

No, I didn’t hear it, but should I say I recognized it?

Emeric, who had gone around the screen, took a deep breath and hurriedly turned his head away.

[Are you surprised?]

“A little.”

Instead of a calliope, a piece of meat that looked like it had just been slaughtered was placed on the blood-soaked field bed.

A state in which bones and flesh were randomly crushed and crushed by something very heavy.

Where the head should have been, there was only a half-remaining lower jaw and an eyeball hanging from a piece of meat.

The only things that are intact are the two feet below the shins.

Even though the identity could not be confirmed at all, the only thing that recognized it as Calliope was the corpse, no, how should I say it.

Anyway, it’s because of the four layers of halo that are still floating above it.

However, there is much less light than there used to be and it is dangerous as if it will go out soon.

“How on earth… Are you still alive…”

[It’s all thanks to Halo. But I don’t have that much time.]

Calliope smiled mentally.

“What happened here?”

[Leonard has released the gray giant. Even though all the priests were mobilized, it was impossible to stop it.]

“Wasn’t it a devil’s soul? You said that if it was the state of the soul, it would be with divine power…”

[I don’t know either. It was just a guess. But one thing is for sure, it is not a demonic soul.]

“Then what is it? What on earth made you physically destroy the main shrine and crush you like this?”

[Ah, Emeric. I was not harmed by that gray giant.]

“Then?”

[I was attacked by a warrior from Leonard’s guild.]

Second shock.

How can a person make someone like this? ?

[It was a tall woman holding a huge hammer. But that is not why I asked Emeric to come.]

“Then?”

[Emeric. Don’t touch Leonard anymore.]

Emeric looked at Halo in silence at Calliope’s words

[I know why Emeric bothers to Leonard, as if he were prodding a bee hive. That’s because Emeric is very scared.]

“They say I am a coward.”

[That’s right. They say that dogs that are scared bark more loudly. No one wants to touch or harass the dog, but it is so scared that it barks first, anticipating something that will never happen.]

“I see.”

[That is what Emeric is doing now. When Eleonor died, Emeric had to bury Eleonor, thinking that he had done something mortal. The same thing happened when Isidore lost his mind.]

Calliope continued speaking.

[You probably remember. How kindly did Leonard treat us when we defeated the Great Evil? Master Leonard considered us, including Master Emeric, as true colleagues. And we betrayed that person.]

Calliope sighed mentally.

[Of course, I won’t say I didn’t do anything wrong. We did such a foolish thing because the benefits we gained from betraying Leonard were too great. However, despite this, Master Leonard did not retaliate against us in any way. Even though he could kill us all if he wanted to.]

It couldn’t have been so, but Emeric had the feeling that Calliope’s remaining eyeball was looking at the collapsed Great Temple beyond the tent.

[But this time we made a really big mistake. I touched Leonard’s guild member. Just as Leonard protected us in all kinds of dangerous situations during the punitive raids, this time, Leonard also stepped forward to protect his guild members.]

“You are right, Calliope. But there is no turning back. From the moment we decided to betray Leonard in order to take this empire into our hands, it would be suicidal to stop now.”

[Even if you don’t stop, the fact that it is an act of suicide remains the same. And, Leonard gave us one more chance.]

“What does that mean?”

[Leonard spoke as if the Gray Giant was a human god. The saint on death row we tried to kidnap is an incarnation of God and she is under the protection of a demon hunter, so she should no longer be involved in God’s work her her her her. What does that mean?]

“It means that if you don’t touch it, you won’t come forward anymore.”

[That’s right. If it weren’t for that, they would have used the gray giant to crush the Great Hall and go straight to the imperial castle. To even kill Emeric.]

Emeric swallowed dry saliva.

[But Leonard didn’t do that. Knight Commander? Chief saint? Platform? These are words that have no meaning to you, Leonard. If he crossed the line he had drawn, wouldn’t Leonard have killed even a god? Master Leonard is still showing tremendous patience and mercy, just as he did to us during his punitive raids.]

“The Imperial Castle… Won’t you give an order to the knights to kill Leonard… “

[That won’t happen. Many priests, including the High Priest, consider the Gray Giant to be a human god. Would the Hwangseong be able to move easily in a situation where the highest priests of the church are like that?]

“But the damage was so severe…”

[Do you know that?]

Calliope smiled mentally.

[I am the only person who died, no, is dying in this riot. A collapsed building can be rebuilt. With the advent of God without any casualties, the Emperor will not give Emeric an order that cannot be carried out. So stop being scared.]

“I see… “

Pathetically, Emeric was reassured by the words of Calliope, who had become an unrecognizable return letter.

“But what if the imperial castle gives such an order? And what if Leonard comes to kill me? Or the 4th princess…”

[Emeric.]

Calliope softly called her name.

[Can we stop the incoming tsunami? Can you stop the pouring rain and lightning?]

From noble mtl dot com

“That’s…”

[If you have to cross swords with Leonard, think of it as a natural disaster that you absolutely cannot refuse. And fight as hard as you can. Emeric is acknowledged by everyone to be the best knight in the empire.]

Emeric felt cold sweat forming on his back again.

[This all happened because Emeric was a coward. Don’t make things bigger and live like you’re dead. This is advice given by a colleague who regretted and realized the past days ahead of his death.]

With those words, the four layers of halo completely disappeared. It is dead.

However, Leonard had no time to mourn Calliope’s death her.

I… I have to fight Leonard directly… ?

The one who smiles even in the face of the devil?

A guy who can avoid attacks by changing his shadow and body position

A guy who drinks all kinds of poisons and moves at invisible speeds?

I want to avoid that even if I have to die.

I can only hope that the imperial castle does not issue orders regarding Leonard to the knights.

An adjutant urgently came to Emeric, who returned to the headquarters of the Knights after Calliope’s death.

“Commander! This is a call from the Imperial Castle!”
