How a Former Pastor Lives in Another World

32

Ophelia Violet

Under a dark sky, a group of horsemen moved through the gray city.

They are the Holy Knights of the Church, the Knights of the Sun.

The paladins, wearing shining armor and carrying shields and swords with sacred emblems, drove their horses with great force.

All of them are Holy Knights with protection and power. Their mere appearance changed the air, and the rising sun shone upon the knights.

“Our brothers and sisters struggle in a city overrun with evil! We eradicate evil in the name of Solterra!”

“”Sol Estella!!””

The battle began in an instant.

When the Holy Knights’ fierce charge and holy aura collided with the Demonics, they were mercilessly crushed and scattered into six pieces.

“To the light of Savior Soltera!”

The sword of Matthias Adelheit, leader of the Knights of the Sun, was engulfed in holy flames.

Every time it was swung, the Demonics were reduced to ashes amidst screams.

It’s not just Director Mathias.

Some paladins burned monsters with sunlight pouring from their shields and even released waves of light to sweep the front lines.

Another paladin created a spear of the sun and threw it at the group of demonics, exploding in their midst and sweeping all around.

Knights of the Sun.

The strongest power possessed by the Solarion Church.

Wearing holy swords, holy spears, and blessed full armor, they slaughtered the demonics unilaterally.

The Demonics who had taken control of the city were forced to flee by the overwhelming power of the Knights of the Sun.

It seemed like it wouldn’t be long before peace came to the city and the sun began to shine.

“Tsk. The Sun Knights already requested support.”

Luca clicked his tongue as he looked at the monsters being completely trampled.

These were things that would have lost their marketability anyway, but still, among those many miscellaneous people, someone would have achieved evolution.

It’s a waste, it’s a waste.

In this case, scabies really caught on.

I couldn’t even get my money back and only suffered losses.

Wizard Luca is a merchant.

Merchant of wizards and witches.

And a merchant of those who seek to harness evil power.

What he was ordered to do was ‘a controllable demonic of beta level or higher’.

For this purpose, Luca summoned Alpha Demonic from the demon world and restrained him with a spell.

From then on, everything was known.

They are forced to give birth repeatedly, lay eggs, and feed them to people to develop them into hosts.

The goal is to secure capable beta demonics among the demonics born by preying on hosts.

There will be some lucky individuals who grow up to be alphas, so we prepared plenty of food.

But the plan failed.

Because of that priest boy from outside who intervened along the way.

“Wow… if it’s up to this point, I can still accept it as a business failure.”

Luca sighed as he watched the doll gradually approaching.

Heresy Inquisition Eclipse’s unique, understated attire.

Silver approaches without getting lost even though her face is covered with a lace eyepatch.

Luca greeted first.

“How could such a precious person reign?”

“Are you the heretic who attacked the city?”

A woman who doesn’t even receive greetings from Luca and just gets straight to the point.

“It’s not heresy. It’s non-religious.”

“Strictly speaking, Shamanism is a heresy.”

“That’s a bit too much.”

“······.”

Luca met the gaze behind the eyepatch staring at him.

If you are a wizard, if you are a member of an evil group steeped in evil, it is impossible not to know.

A saint from the infamous Eclipse Institute. That saint is the one to whom suicide is recommended as soon as you meet her.

“Krrrrr······.”

“Kyaaa…”

Demonics growl as if they sense an instinctive sense of danger in front of their natural enemy.

Thirty Beta Demonic entities that have secured marketability and… there is one Alpha.

“Kyaaa!!”

This is not an alpha who has been weakened by childbirth and confinement. It was a monster of monsters that evolved after devouring the blood and flesh of thirty-one-thousand thousand of Campbell’s citizens.

Although it is still a growing stage.

“It’s a waste, it’s a waste.”

towards them.

“attack.”

“Die,” he ordered.

“Kyaaa!!”

Demonics rushing towards Iris all at once.

Iris quietly removed her eye patch and pointed her finger at the charging demon monsters.

“Heresy… is disinfection.”

Before dawn rose, the city greeted the morning without sunlight.

***

Henry guessed the identity of the vicious knight who cut off the Alpha Demonic’s head.

“Seo, are you a paladin?”

“No, it’s a knight. Paladins use holy power. Of course, it’s not like there are paladins who use aurors.”

Aaron watched the unidentified knight who suddenly appeared.

Was there ever such a strong person in the city? Or is it manpower from outside?

Then, Chuck! And the knight raises his head.

“Driver? Thanks to you, I survived. Are you, by any chance, a knight from the city hall?”

“······.”

Jump, jump, jump!

The knight walked towards Ray.

The knight who approached in an instant without Aaron or Jenny having time to stop him was one head taller than Ray.

‘Big, big…’

Even considering that Ray was still growing up, the female knight was very tall.

“······.”

“Uh, knight?”

It was then. The knight took off his helmet and threw it away.

thud! The helmet falling and the knight’s appearance revealed.

Rich light purple hair.

Contrasting dark purple eyes and an eye patch decorated with a colorful flower covering one eye.

The overall haughty look is full of intense vitality and vitality.

“I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere before.”

At that moment, the female knight suddenly placed both hands in Ray’s armpits and lifted them up.

“Huh, what!?”

“Ray! Ray Anderson!”

The knight, whose legs barely touch the floor, does not hide his joy.

“We finally met! Ray Anderson! Are you okay?”

Only then did Ray realize the identity of the female knight who had lifted him.

“Lady Violet?”

“That’s right! The real girl is Ophelia Violet!”

Ophelia Violet.

She was the Margrave’s daughter whom Ray and his party saved from the Great Evil.

***

Ophelia Violet.

The daughter of the Count of the Frontier, whom the Great Devil Capricorn had been trying to encroach on for half a year.

Why did she, who should be on the border of Albion Kingdom, appear here?

“Um…young lady?”

“What is it? Ray Anderson!”

“Why are you here?”

Ophelia answered Ray’s question by tilting her head.

“Because you’re in danger?”

I can’t explain it.

How do you know I’m dangerous?

“By the way, Ray Anderson! No, let’s call him Ray. Between us!”

His voice is loud, as if he had boiled a train firebox.

In many ways, she was a girl who couldn’t control her temper.

Kwaaa!!

It was then. A flash of light passed over the city, bathing the entire city in midnight darkness.

The flash is so strong that you might think you might go blind from excessive glare.

“Oh my, the saintess’s sparkle is amazing.”

“A saint?”

“I came with Iris, the Saint of Radiance. From the North!”

You’ll have to hear the whole story to find out, but it appears that Iris and Ophelia came in response to a request for support from Campbell Cathedral.

“Hey, Lady Ophelia.”

“That title feels too distant. I grant permission to call you Miss Ophelia.”

“······Miss Ophelia.”

“What is it? Ray.”

Ray spoke in an embarrassed voice as he looked like he was waiting for his answer.

“W-Would you please drop me off?”

Ray had been floating in the air ever since.

“Acha~”

Ofelia placed Ray on the ground. Then he placed his hand on my forehead and seemed to be measuring the difference in height between us.

“Rei needs to grow up a little bigger. They say that common people sometimes skip meals, but it’s noticeable that he didn’t even eat Oshiokki.”

“······.”

At most, isn’t it three meals a day?

Ray wondered if all that food had gone to his height.

No, it went somewhere other than the key…

“Lady Violet.”

“Hmm! This voice. It makes me feel like a child of a wealthy family, not a commoner. What about you?”

Aaron closed his eyes tightly and answered Ophelia’s crazy question.

“This is Aaron Graham. A member of the Graham family. The fight is not over yet.”

“Hmm! It’s just as you said. As a noble, I can’t leave that evil group alone!”

Ophelia grabbed the sword and shield she had left behind and rushed outside the cathedral.

“······.”

“······Aaron. Are nobles really that tense?”

“The Violet family is a family famous for its muscle and brain… no, it’s a family famous for its strength.”

Ray wondered if that wasn’t the average of a noble.

“Never. Never compare a noble to Violet. That lady is a bit… deviant.”

I guess so?

From noble mtl dot come

***

The monster incident that occurred in the Free City of Campbell was put to rest with the intervention of the Holy Knights from the Solarion Church.

“Monsters appeared, and the knights came and wiped them all out!”

“Did you see that light? They say it was a miracle performed by a saint!”

Campbell’s citizens told of eyewitness accounts of the saints and knights who were said to be the strongest force in the Church of Solarion.

And naturally, their faith turned to the Church of the Sun.

“Those damned Sun-Moon Church b*stards. They say they are the culprits of this whole situation!”

“I don’t believe what the cults say. My cousin also made a huge donation there.”

Campbell citizens had lax standards regarding religion, but when the evils that befell them, they were filled with hatred for heresy.

It was a desirable phenomenon, and it is clear that their faith will now turn to the Church of the Sun.

and.

“Did you hear that? Why was it the hymn that rang throughout the city that night?”

“Is that all? A monster the size of a house attacked the cathedral, and there are people who fought against the monsters of hell!”

“The name is probably Ray. I think it was called Ray.”

“My nephew was in the cathedral that day! Solterra! Bless this grenade! Let your mercy rip the enemy to pieces!”

“Solterra hu Akbar!”

“But what does Akbar mean after Soltera?”

The names of Ray and his colleagues were also clearly engraved in the Free City of Campbell.

Now they will visit Campbell Cathedral every week to offer hymns and prayers, collect talents, and praise Ray Anderson and his colleagues.

Ray Anderson of the Church of Solarion.

The name was spreading little by little.

***

Even after the commotion at Campbell ended, Ray and his group stayed at Campbell Cathedral for a while.

This is because the city’s mayor and administrative staff have all died out, and there is a vacuum in public security.

It was an incident in which as many as 50,000 people died in Campbell, which boasted a population of 300,000, and even the monsters hiding in the back alleys and sewers of the city had to be dealt with.

It wasn’t that difficult because the Knights of the Sun were there.

“Okay then, let’s just leave.”

“He even helped me rebuild the temple… I always get help from my brothers.”

“No, thanks to Bishop Yuna, I was able to survive several times.”

The way to leave.

Bishop Yuna couldn’t help but feel disappointed as he gave Ray and his group a lunch box and a bundle of gifts.

These grateful people came to a decaying cathedral, suggested a new method, led a revival meeting, and protected the people during the city’s crisis.

‘The future of the Church is bright.’

Bishop Yuna was confident that these great brothers and sisters would brighten the future of the church.

“Whoa, this incident was somewhat eventful.”

“It’s like an evil heresy! Brother and sister, you always break through battlefields like this!”

“No, it’s absolutely not ordinary…”

Ray fully agreed with that.

On your first mission, you meet a witch and exorcise a great evil.

I thought the second mission would end with a revival meeting at a ruined cathedral, but a crazy wizard unleashed monsters on the city.

“In just the past few months, we’ve had three wizards, an arch-demon, and an alpha demon… It’s really crazy, isn’t it?”

“Oh! As expected of you, Brother Ray! Demon Slayer!”

Although Henry looked up to him with a fuss, it was Ray who longed for peaceful days more than his longing gaze.

And above all.

“Ah, Ray. Don’t put too much pressure on your back and just lean back. It’s not good for the growth period.”

“······Why am I the only one riding a horse with you?”

As Ray and his party left Campbell Cathedral, they were able to receive several horses as compensation.

To be exact, it was as many people as there were people, but with Ophelia joining in, there was a need for someone to sit with them.

“Hehe, you’re being foolish. There are only four horses, but five people!”

“······Is Lady Ophelia not returning to the North?”

Is it okay for a noble lady to stay in a place like this?

Of course, I am grateful that you came to help. If it weren’t for Ophelia, the struggling Alpha Demonic might have been seriously injured.

“Ah, I decided to become a convert to that church.”

“Huh? Really?”

Isn’t she the Margrave’s daughter?

Ray wondered why he was so sad, but then he realized the reason.

“Has the rumor already started?”

“The rumor that I am possessed by the devil? It has spread widely throughout social circles!”

“ah······.”

At Ophelia’s words, the surrounding atmosphere became solemn.

The scandal that she, the daughter of a high-ranking noble, was possessed by the devil was fatal.

Who would want a noble lady who had to find a marriage partner in society if she were possessed by a devil?

Knowing how important the reputation of the aristocratic society was, Aaron offered words of comfort.

“Well… everything will be fine.”

“It doesn’t matter! The chaff of the social world wasn’t that interested anyway. The bridegroom is also in the church!”

“huh?”

Ray, feeling some strange stream of consciousness, glanced at Ophelia.

Ofelia’s eyes sparkle as she smiles.

“So Ray, how many children will we have?”

“Cough!”

Cough! Cough!

Ray almost fell off his horse.
