"Da da da da da da da da da da da da——"
Fazhu casually tossed the rocket launcher to the ground and then picked up the Gatling gun that had been loaded with bullets at some point.
Flames surged up again.
It's an enchanted weapon after all, so it does have an automatic reload function.
At that moment, Navi's voice also rang out softly.
"You should know that Master Fazhu is the captain of our cleaning team."
a moment of silence
"I'm speechless. What about you guys?"
"almost."
If everyone was shocked when they saw Fazhu again, then as they approached the summoning circle, all that remained in their hearts was numbness.
They finally understood what it meant for wisdom to be power.
A skeleton that straps a C4 bomb to its head and then rolls its head over.
A demonized plant where every vine and branch is armed with a submachine gun.
A groundhog planting landmines.
A mage who enchants bullets while firing a gun.
Wait a minute, suddenly the last one seems pretty normal.
(Legre or Yuukawa Nako: That's not normal at all!!!!)
"Your church members are truly...wise."
"Thank you for the compliment. Okay, we've arrived. The following scene is rather disgusting; those with a weak stomach should close their eyes."
"Otherwise, you'll have nightmares."
Neville's tone was flat, and then she smashed the crumbling wall with a single blow of her staff.
The pungent smell of blood filled my nasal cavity again.
Fear filled my mind.
A huge, bright red magic circle was drawn on the ground, and a cloaked figure stood in the center.
There were many people lying on the ground.
If they could, they would absolutely not look at what those people lying on the ground looked like.
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world.
Those figures were only human-like in appearance.
A person's appearance.
Their skin had been completely peeled off, exposing bloody muscles and nerves.
This is a nightmare
This is hell
Nausea, discomfort
However, these emotions quickly disappeared under the influence of the magic.
All that's left is anger.
"They are all sacrifices. Therefore, in order to avoid any further complications, I urge you to try to kill that priest in one fell swoop."
"give it to me."
Aikawa Ayumu stepped forward silently, clenching his fists.
"300%!"
Ayumu Aikawa is a zombie, so he can use power beyond human limits without restriction.
With so many layers of magical enhancement, his body was already extraordinary.
His figure moved like a whirlwind, accompanied by the groaning of the floor, his fist, brimming with rage, pierced through the priest's shield and slammed into him with tremendous force.
"go to hell!!!!"
As a zombie, he arguably has the most combat experience among them.
After he was reincarnated as a zombie by Yu, he fought against those reformist vampire ninjas every night in order to protect Yu from being assassinated.
Relying on its immortality, it drove away wave after wave of vampire ninjas.
Having experienced death himself, he naturally knew the pain those people suffered when they died. He even thought that those people were skinned alive and died in agony.
If even a shield can't stop it, then the priest's physical body is even less likely to be able to withstand it.
Even though his body had already undergone mutations, it was completely unable to withstand this punch.
His body was sent flying against the wall, disappearing without a sound.
With the priest's death, the summoning circle also became dim and lifeless.
King Ha's skills are all maxed out; now it's time to start saving money and gems.
Chapter Forty-Nine: The Betraying Knight
"rest in peace."
"Fireball!"
Yuukawa Naoko used a fireball spell to completely destroy the summoning circle, and also burned the skinless corpses to ashes.
"Alright, the summoning circle has been destroyed. Please wait a moment while I inform Lord Edward to open the passage."
After saying that, Navi took out a communicator and shouted.
"Lord Edward, this is Navi. The summoning circle of the Church of the Invisible Form has been destroyed, and the cleanup team is cleaning up the rest—gaa!"
Neville's voice trailed off halfway through her sentence.
A longsword pierced through the shield and through her chest.
"pat"
The communicator fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
"Nanako! What are you doing!"
At this moment, Yuukawa Nanako slowly pulled the longsword from Navi's body and revealed a twisted smile to everyone.
"What are we doing? Of course, we're offering you as sacrifices to our lord."
"My lord? Could you be the priest who impersonated Chang Yan before?"
"Wind Binding!"
While Hyoudou Issei was guessing Yuukawa Nanako's identity, Daphne unhesitatingly threw out a binding spell.
"Daphne-onne, how could you be so heartless as to use magic on me like that? I'm—"
"I'm so sad! Hahahaha!"
Yuukawa Nanako smiled and cleaved the wind rings binding her body with a single sword strike.
"A single sword strike destroyed my spell? Everyone, please be careful, this is a weapon used to ward off evil!"
Daphne was surprised for a moment but quickly realized what was happening and reminded everyone to be careful.
"As expected of Daphne-onne-chan. Well, your struggles are futile. Let me make it clear beforehand, I'm not that Faceless Man in disguise. I am, the real Nanako Yuukawa, and a priestess of the Church of the Invisible Face."
Despite the crowd's wariness, Yuukawa Nanako openly revealed her true identity.
"Why? Nanako, when did you become a priestess of this church? Tell me why!"
Yuukawa Naoko spoke in disbelief, her usually calm face now filled with unease and anger.
Upon hearing Yuukawa Nanako's words, her face contorted even more, and her tone was filled with anger.
"Why? It's all because of you, my dear Onee-chan! If it weren't for that damned scale that transferred all my mental talent to you, would I still be a trainee knight? Just because I don't have mental talent and can't refine battle aura, I can't even remove the scars on my hands!"
Yuukawa Nanako's words pierced through Yuukawa Nanako's chest, making her face grow paler and paler.
Legre seized upon the key point in Nanako Yuukawa's words and raised a question.
"Balances? What's that?"
"Oh, right, you guys don't know yet. Well then, I'll mercifully explain it to you. That scale is a magical item that allows twins to transfer their talents before they're even born. Based on the decision of the elders in the family, my mental talent was transferred to Onee-chan, and Onee-chan's physical talent was transferred to me."
"They originally thought that a pair of very talented sisters would be born, complementing each other. However, they did not expect that refining a knight's battle aura requires mental strength, but my mental strength was pitifully low because I had no talent at all, so I was unable to refine battle aura and remained a trainee knight. On the other hand, because of her extraordinary talent, Erne-chan became a great genius among mages. And I was only able to become her guard because of Erne-chan's pity."
"Fortunately, I joined the church. As long as I keep offering sacrifices, I will receive rewards. It has nothing to do with talent; as long as I please my Lord, I will become stronger, for example, like this—"
"Fighting spirit explodes!"
"Super Magic Technique: Silent Spellcasting - Frost Nova!"
A burst of gray fighting spirit erupted from Yuukawa Nanako's body, and at the same time, Legre's magic also erupted.
"Legreoni-chan, do you really think I wouldn't be wary of your silent spellcasting?"
"What do you think, Aikawa? Nako!"
"150%"
"Spider Web Hairpin - Spider Web Technique!"
Aikawa Ayumu's fist struck Yuukawa Nanako from behind, while a spider web, mixed with the fluctuations of Frost Nova, came crashing down as well.
"Damn it, sister! Filthy Armor!"
Twisted flesh and blood, mixed with pieces of bone, transformed into thick tentacles that wrapped around Nanako Yuukawa's body, protecting her.
A layer of frost appeared on the surface of the tentacles, and the spider web was swallowed up as the flesh and blood churned.
The punch only created a dent in the tentacle.
Spells and boxing were ineffective.
"This feels disgusting."
Aikawa Ayumu shook his fist and slowly stepped back.
"It seems I underestimated you. Well then, I'll have to take my leave first, but before that, I need to collect some interest!"
"Exploding armor!"
The twisted tentacles continued to expand, and when they reached a limit, they exploded.
"Pong!"
Blood and flesh splattered, but the shield protected them from causing much damage.
However, for Yuukawa Nanako, all she needed was this to block her view.
"Go to hell, sister! Ahahahahaha!"
A flash of silver light pierced through the splattered flesh and blood, striking straight into Yuukawa Naoko's heart.
"Puha"
Even though the shield absorbed some of the damage, the sword still pierced her heart.
The life-giving fountain was forcibly prolonging her life, but she would still die in a few seconds.
"Cough...cough, the refuge of the dead—a false life."
She forcibly activated her belt, a necromancy spell that would extend her life a little longer.
"Yu Chuan! I'm here to treat you."
When Elsa saw Yuukawa Naoko's injuries, she ran to her side and used her divine weapon—the Smile of the Virgin Mary.
“No need. My heart has been pierced. I’m just barely clinging to life under the influence of magic. But I still have one last resort. Legre, draw a magic circle for me using these things. Write the format on this piece of paper.”
Although Aisha's treatment made Naoko's complexion rosy, she would still die soon.
