Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 212

Nine needles fly towards the entrance without any warning and return at the same speed..

Since I couldn't aim only at vital points, I fired attacks aimed at the upper body rather than the neck, causing all of the about ten visible cult members to fall to the ground. There are quite a few who die from a single blow, but there are also quite a few who try to get back up after falling down..

And without missing the opportunity, Catherine rushed forward..

"Ugh, ah, no..."

Catherine does not cheer or scream. She simply scraped the floor with her warhammer and swung it large and low horizontally, along with her short breathing. With that alone, the dirt floor will crack and explode, sweeping away even the defenseless cultists. If you're lucky, the whole person will be blown away, but if you're unlucky, the bloody blow will tear off your limbs and send them flying away. It's simple, yet powerful and threatening..

Due to that one surprise attack, incomprehensible cries and screams simultaneously erupted from deep inside the entrance, making it look like the gates of hell from which the dead were trying to escape..

"Enemy attack! It's an enemy attack!"

"Shield soldier! Shield Soldiers Advance!"

"Wrong! The attack just pierced even the shield! We have to stick together first.!"

"The warrior charged! That attack clearly requires preparation! If you don't charge now, you'll get hit again.!"

It was an amazing sight. Although they were clearly fleeing the battlefield, when a crisis arose, they began to habitually give orders and act like soldiers. What was most surprising was that there was even a person who, using the irrational belief that he could die and be reincarnated as a demon, made a sharp deduction that since Catherine rushed at me after my one attack, I would not be able to use the needle often..

Of course, there is no such delay..

It was an attempted bluff hoping to misunderstand, but the target was still an unidentified commander deep in their lair, not them. What I wanted from the guys here right now was to see them freaking out in fear..

"Well, I guess it doesn’t matter.."

While I was drawing my sword, arrows were flying non-stop toward the entrance from behind me. With Catherine and I at the center, magic like a magic missile was launched from the positions of the group who were ambushed to the left and right. At first glance, it was a truly dangerous sight with Ye Katrina running wild in front of her, but both her arrows and her magic avoided her as if she were alive and only targeted her enemies..

It is a very reliable connection. As expected, if you work with Gaendal and the others, things become easier..

"We will break through like this! Gin, Kals, Vaize, and Sen protect the wizards! Mr. Gaendal is with me to provide cover for Catherine.!"

As experienced adventurers, their response was not words but actions..

◈

"Ahhh?!"

Number 21's only response to seeing the blood and flesh splattered by the projectile that pierced the back of Number 20's head, which was ahead of him, was to scream. The awl-like object, which was as protruding as the index finger, made an unpleasant sound in Number 20's head and spun around before disappearing with a thud..

21A little late, Byrne understood that what he had just witnessed was the projectile that Number 84 had described in horror. And he also noticed that it didn't suddenly disappear, but returned to the user. He also knew that most of the brothers in front of him fell down from that blow and started crawling on the floor..

When he belatedly came to his senses in Hell, where the other brothers were running forward with cries filled with emotions such as anger, shock, and embarrassment, and were being torn apart like sheets of paper by the iron ball swung by the female warrior who appeared after the projectile, he had already turned around and walked back to where he had come. I was running like crazy down the aisle..

'Look, look! I have to report!'

The plan went wrong. Therefore, it is important to report abnormal situations quickly. I will never run away from my brothers.

Number 21 ran toward the depths of the church, holding countless excuses that he could not bear to say out loud. Because he was so nervous, he couldn't control his breathing and quickly became out of breath, but he couldn't stop. Even though he was running like crazy, he didn't think about the screams and explosions coming from behind getting far away..

It didn't take long to understand what that meant. Realizing that the enemy was charging in, literally 'wiping out' his brothers, Number 21 shouted at the top of his voice..

"It's an attack! It's an enemy attack!"

The interior of the church, which was created by arbitrarily remodeling the original altar and space, was not that complicated. Just by his shouting, the brothers, who were very nervous and aware of the seriousness of the situation, immediately showed up and raised their weapons..

The brothers responded well to the warning. And then he ran towards the entrance with great enthusiasm and disappeared screaming as well..

But death following behind did not slow down. Number 21, he headed into the depths, trying to erase the awareness that he was sacrificing his brothers to unidentified raiders in order to survive..

The interior of the church, which had previously felt grand, began to feel like a huge stone tomb. Even though he knew what this meant for his gradually dwindling brothers, he just ran. The brothers who responded to his cry did not even think about running in the same direction as him. Just feverishly running in the opposite direction to block intruders..

Still, death did not slow down.

"High Priest! A raider is breaking inside.!"

What he saw upon arriving at the church's chapel was the extremely calm appearance of the high priest and the brothers of the 10th division. Number 21 felt a deep sense of relief welling up in his eyes as he seemed to remain calm despite all the commotion..

"21Brother Burn. Didn't you take part in the raid? How are you here??"

"Well, they hit the player first! Even now, I'm going crazy towards this place...!"

-Hwiik!

At that moment, with a terrible whistling sound behind him, something flew past him and towards the altar..

"84Byrne said...!"

What came into Number 21's sight before the brothers' distorted figures in astonishment was the hole between the eyes of the high priest who was looking at him with a solemn face. The high priest's head, which had been thrown back by a great impact, seemed to return to its original position due to the recoil, and then fell to the floor like a doll whose strings had been cut..

The high priest, their spiritual leader and the highest authority in the church, could not even react properly and passed away..

"After all, a surprise attack is always right. Like moths jumping to a fire, you just flop around without doing anything.?"

21Bun sat down and looked back. Even though he ran at full speed, he was paralyzed by the fact that the attacker reached the chapel at almost the same speed as him, and was unable to do anything else..

"Nice to meet you, you devil worshipers. Where did number 84 go? I decided to kill that bastard last. I hope she didn't accidentally kill her on the way there.."

There, one of the attackers, covered in blood, was grinning, showing his teeth as he grabbed the projectile that came back towards him with one hand. He seemed to have no aversion to holding a bloody projectile. Well, in a way, it was only natural that he already looked like someone who would be repulsed by something like that..

21The sound of the 10th Division brothers drawing their swords rang out from the back of the unit..

"Shit! attack..."

-Kwaang!

But they failed to jump at the attackers. This time, an unknown explosion occurred behind the altar..

21The terrible word ‘diversionary operation’ flashed through Byrne’s mind. At the same time, I also remembered that the church had a secret exit in case of an emergency. It was a memory that was naturally forgotten because it was so old and I had no use for it..

"What is that??"

However, the attacker tilted his head and watched the area behind the exploded altar. It's not an attack? So what on earth is that explosion??

"In the name of Ephakah!"

"You will pay for blasphemy with your life.!"

Demons appeared in the explosion, shouting for answers to questions..

◈

Deoni Vire raised his shield and swung his mace at a cultist in front of him, just as he charged in to destroy the wall..

The body strengthened by divine power was like lightning, and while the cultist hit by the shield was flying through the air, she saw that the skull of another cultist who could not react was broken and the other cultist died, and she swung the heavy mace like a sword. It stirred up a stir among the cultists..

Those who came with her were no different. Because they were skilled heresy judges. Less than ten cult members were unable to react properly to the sudden surprise attack and had to face death..

"...Holy woman. something is strange."

"Iknow, right."

Thinking that they would be dealing with a huge number of cultists right away, they formed a formation and looked around, but the attacks against them did not continue. The only thing that could be seen was a cult member crawling on the floor and an unidentified man covered in blood and wearing a completely different outfit..

It was a terrible sight. If he didn't kill one person and cover himself with blood on purpose, the man's appearance was so unbelievable that I couldn't tell how many people he had killed to get to this point..

Despite her sudden appearance, the man only tilted his head and did not show any reaction. Instead, he just calmly walked forward and cut off the head of the cult member who was lying on the floor with one blow. Only after that did the man properly meet Deoni and her eyes..

The man looked at her for a moment with a business-like attitude, as if he was just doing business in an orderly manner, then tilted his head to the side and opened his mouth..

"Demon King? Or just demon religion?"

In a strong sense of crisis, as if the answer could determine the difference between life and death, Deoni adjusted her weapon without realizing it..
