Zenith (5)

    ;on the way back to the mansion.

    ;Jamie looked at Lars, who still had a serious expression on his face. ; After seeing the full-armed paladin, he didn''t say a word.

    ; There is something.

    ;The alien divine power she felt toward her paladin was known by Jamie as well.

    ; I heard from Ricky earlier.

    ;"Well? ; oh yeah ; What did you talk about?

    ; I had a friend at the same orphanage, and he said he was taken by Janice God.

    ;"Five. ; It s rare.

    ;In fact, there were often cases where they were chosen by the god they worshiped.

    ;It wasn''t surprising that Lars was also chosen and became a paladin.

    ; So yesterday you went to the church headquarters.

    ;"right. ; If she is chosen by the god she worships, she has to go to the place closest to the god.

    ; He also said he wanted to become a priest after becoming a chosen person.

    ;"haha. ; I wish it were like that. ; Ricky is a good boy.

    ;Jamie glanced into his eyes.

    ;She didn''t get the reaction she wanted. ; Is this enough?

    ;Jamie pondered for a bit, and then she opened her mouth as she recalled an interesting story.

    ; Two months ago.

    ;"Huh."

    ;Lars'' complexion darkened.

    ; I don t think so. ; Isn''t it?"

    ; ; ; Zenith.

    ;The Pyros were once quite close to the Zenith.

    ;So, she was somewhat aware of Zenith''s tendencies.

    ; I forgot.

    ;Jamie is right.

    ;Zenith did little for his others.

    ;The same goes for orphanages.

    ; They can t look after orphans.

    ;She should have felt uncomfortable there.

    ;Of course, that doesn''t mean they never help others. ; But the Zenith Church in Highs was definitely overkill.

    ;Then she saw Jamie.

    ;''It''s as if I was guiding a conversation in the hope that I would realize... ; ; .''

    ;"why?"

    ;At Lars'' gaze, Jamie tilted her head.

    ;''no way.''

    ;I know Jamie is such a great kid that I can hear him being a genius. ; But she was still a child. ; It''s just a coincidence.

    ; You don t even know the purpose in the first place.

    ;''She couldn''t have had that much insight.''

    ;She is now 7 years old.

    ;Lars shook his head to get rid of his distractions.

    ;Whatever it was, it''s true that Jamie''s words helped a lot.

    ;He smiled and patted her Jamie''s head.

    ;"Thank you."

    ;"What?"

    ; Just everything. ; great. ; Her older brother will give you a ride!

    ; Your brother is right ; ; Whoa!

    ;I was about to ask if it was my brother, but Lars flashed it all over his shoulder and put it on his shoulder.

    ;Then she started running towards her mansion at her full speed.

    ; Hey, stop!

    ;Only Jamie''s mournful scream echoed through the empty street.

    ;* * *

    ;After the meal, the Count and Lars had a separate meeting.

    ;Lars briefly reported what had happened today.

    ; Did Jamie say that?

    ;When he told Jamie what he had heard on the way back to the mansion, the Earl was quite surprised.

    ; I think it might be a coincidence.

    ; ; ; yes.

    ;The Earl of Wellton knew Jamie was a genius, but she didn''t know the circumstances and thought it would be difficult for her to have such insight.

    ;On the one hand, she thought that if it were Jamie, she could only pursue her heterogeneity and arrive at her results.

    ;She was too overrated for a 7-year-old boy, but it''s hard to say no, considering what she''s shown so far.

    ;But she didn''t matter, so she got back to the point.

    ; Rival and Janice Kyorah.

    ; It s said that a kid named Ricky in an orphanage used to live in Rival.

    ; Certainly very suspicious. ; I thought that Zenith s actions this time were just social activities for the sake of propagation.

    ;Even the Count knew a little about Zenith''s ideas.

    ;However, the situation is always changing, and it has a positive effect on the territory, so I was just watching.

    ; If what you say is true, that s a different story.

    ;It cannot be overlooked if it is the Zenith Church, which is rooted in Highs, who demanded children from Rival.

    ;But he had only a heart attack, no physical evidence.

    ;No matter how famous the Earl of Wellton was, Zenith was a religion that exerted influence beyond the realm of the world.

    ; I need a reason.

    ; It would be, too.

    ;Lars was also a knight before a priest, so he knew how important a cause was.

    ;Lars thought for a moment, and then he said to the Count.

    ; I will find the evidence.

    ; You can be dangerous on your own.

    ; Before leaving the church, I saw a paladin with the bishop.

    ; What do you mean?

    ;When it comes to bishops, paladins are attached as escorts. ; There was nothing strange at all.

    ;But Lars'' eyes were serious.

    ; I didn t know.

    ; What do you mean?

    ; I didn t know if he was a Zenith paladin.

    ;The Count frowned.

    ;If the Paladin with the Bishop of the Zenith Church is not affiliated with the Zenith Church, where does it belong?

    ;Before that, Lars said he didn''t know. ; Even though a paladin of that size would have enough ability to distinguish the level of divinity of other religions.

    ;"no way."

    ; I m not sure, but I think it s a chimera .

    ; Does that mean the chimera creators have already started experimenting?

    ; Perhaps.

    ;The Count rubbed his forehead.

    ; What about strength?

    ; ; ; I think I have a little bit of an edge.

    ; I ll give you three.

    ;As soon as the Count finished speaking, three black shadows fell from the ceiling.

    ;Lars looked back in amazement.

    ;The three swordsmen, whose bodies were wrapped in black cloth, stood behind Lars.

    ; I didn t even feel a footstep!

    ;It was clear that the assassins had reached considerable heights.

    ;But they had long swords tied to their waists. ; As an assassin, he preferred a small weapon because he had to kill the target secretly.

    ;The long sword was the worst weapon an assassin could use.

    ; They are the shadow knights who have existed to protect the Weltons since ancient times. ; My basic skills are at the level of an expert, so it will be of great help.

    ;"article ; ; is that correct?

    ;"what. ; for now."

    ;The Count replied with a smile.

    ;He knew that the Welton family was one of the top swordsmanship masters on all continents.

    ;Even so, I never thought that I would have an assassin with the power of an expert-class knight.

    ; I will definitely uncover the truth of them.

    ; Live a sinless life.

    ;Perhaps the Count did not know how to greet the Pyro Church, Lars'' eyes widened.

    ;Then he smiled and drew his name.

    ; Not harsh mercy.

    ;* * *

    ; A benevolence that is not harsh is a bitch.

    ;Jamie sneered into her air as she pulled her finger out of her right ear.

    ; A chimera maker.

    ;He had just been eavesdropping on the Count''s office.

    ;He wondered if the Count would find out, so with Black''s help, he installed the eavesdropping magic as covertly as possible.

    ; Is it bigger than you think?

    ;worrisome tone.

    ;But Jamie was smiling.

    ;Then yes. ; She was also not wrong in her own opinion.

    ;Janice The bastard was still a bastard.

    ; A chimera experiment with younger children. ; Pretty disgusting.

    ;On the one hand, she seemed to understand why she was targeting children.

    ;He said he was the creator of the Chimera, a divinity covetous.

    ;children are pure ; Everything was clear because of the lack of experience. ; That is why it is impossible to distinguish between good and evil.

    ;So it was perfect for filling things in.

    ; It would be perfect for human experiments.

    ;I don''t know how to infuse the divine power, but it will probably transform the body into an optimal form.

    ;I don''t know, but a considerable chimera will be born.

    ; As Lars said, if the paladin was a chimera ; ; .''

    ;Their experiments could be seen to have reached a fairly high realm. ; But it won''t be complete.

    ;Chimera is not an area of expertise, but there was a part that had something in common with black magic.

    ;''Unstable divine power.''

    ;He was so heterogeneous that even he himself noticed.

    ;So he was perfectly caught by Lars.

    ;It was highly likely that the goal of the Zenith Church was to create a complete chimera paladin that could not be distinguished from the deity of Zenith.

    ;"black."

    ;giggling-

    ;Black, who was sitting on the bed, was called by the owner.

    ;Jamie tied one of her letters to Black''s leg.

    ; Go to Liza.

    ;Queek!

    ;Black said yes, spread his wings and flew out.

    ;Jamie watched Black walk away, closed her window and sat down.

    ;''I must prepare enough.''

    ;The feeling came.

    ;The end was not far off.

    ;There will be a great fight.

    ;I don''t know how big it is, but you should at least always be ready to cast a spell.

    ; Memorize.

    ;Jamie''s eyes turned purple.

    ;The mana flowing through her body began to fluctuate.

    ;* * *

    ;Azad yawned loosely.

    ;She lost sleep as she became an undead, but when she was bored, she often came out to see if the phenomenon such as yawning remained a habit.

    ; How long do I have to be like this?

    ; Until they start acting weird.

    ;Liza, who was next to him, silently watched her denomination and answered.

    ;An hour ago, I received a letter from their owner, Jamie.

    ;The content of the letter was simple.

    ;If any suspicious movement is detected in the church, it should be reported immediately.

    ;In addition, if you see a full-armed knight, he also told you to keep an eye on it.

    ; We just do what we tell them to do.

    ; I m bored, I m bored.

    ;Azad grumbled, but he also looked at the church again because the master''s orders were absolute.

    ;They were undead, and even if they did not move in one place, they did not receive a feeling of wretchedness.

    ;Another few hours passed quickly.

    ;Although there were people going around the church, there were no suspicious circumstances or the appearance of a paladin.

    ;Azad groaned in a boring tone, stretching, which he did not need to do.

    ; Well, nothing ; ; .

    ;"damage!"

    ;At that moment, Ryza pushed Azad aside with her foot.

    ;Seo Eok-

    ;A creepy chirping sound.

    ;A solid line was drawn on the stone floor where they were sitting.

    ;The two jumped up and saw the opponent who had stabbed them.

    ;Azad''s eyes widened.

    ; Tongue, brother. ; that ; ; !

    ; Looks right.

    ;A knight, fully armed with white armor and a helmet, stood with his sword in both hands.

    ; Did we sneak up behind us to the point where we didn t even feel it?

    ; ; ; .

    ;As they became undead, all of their physical abilities were a few steps higher than before.

    ;Still, he did not know the existence of the paladin until he was attacked.

    ;If it wasn''t for Liza, who was still in tension, Azad would have died instantly.

    ;Because divinity was the most vicious force for the undead.

    ;"porridge ; ; inda.

    ;The paladin fixed the sword and held it.

    ;Through the face guards, a dazzling eye light flowed out.

    ;"brother."

    ; I will stop. ; Tell the master immediately!

    ; Come on, brother! ; I will stop... ; ; Aww!

    ;As Azad said, the paladin drew his sword.

    ;It was incredibly fast and destructive.

    ;If he had been a human, he would have been cut off in an instant.

    ;Liza kicked his tongue and ran towards the paladin.

    ;The paladin swung his sword without looking back. ; The tip of the sword barely passed his neck.

    ; It s too much for us!

    ;Lisa made a decision.

    ;He passed the paladin with all his might.

    ;The sword followed closely, but it was Liza who knew the terrain well.

    ;He grabbed the pipe in the ceiling and jumped up.

    ;The paladin smashed the ground. ; Like a blade splitting, it drew afterimages and radiated divine power.

    ;"go!"

    ;Liza lands next to Azad and pushes him out the side window.

    ;"brother!"

    ; Go and see the master ; ; !

    ;Shak-!!

    ;A pure white sword enveloped Liza.

    ; Killed ; ; all."

    ;Thinking he had killed one, the paladin immediately jumped out of the window.

    ; Where!

    ;Through the sword, Liza jumped out.

    ;His left arm and side were severed, but his right arm and two legs were still left.

    ;He gripped the paladin''s ankle tightly.

    ;This time, he swings his sword without looking. ; The slash of his divine power raged horribly.

    ;His eyes turned white.

    ;Die this time-

    ; I didn t know that they would find my dolls and attack the station.

    ;The darkness swallowed the light.

    ;The light resisted fiercely,

    ;"noisy."

    ;Jiying-!!

    ;The black cog wheel began to spin.

    ;[Dark Dimension]

    ; I ll dig you out here.

    ;Jamie, who wrapped her body in black, smiled, revealing her teeth.

    ;The world was filled with darkness.
