The female devils I saved came to my door

This force from the underworld is simply unreasonably powerful.

"Thank you, Katrin." Ciel looked at the scene in front of him and said softly.

This one-sided killing lasted for an unknown amount of time. Finally, cracks appeared in the cloudy sky in the barrier, like a broken mirror, and the cracked land melted away like melted wax.

All the enemies that kept popping up from the horizon fell.

The power holding up the barrier finally ran out, the demon was defeated, and the barrier itself collapsed.

After returning to reality, Ciel placed the heavy sword on the neck of the demon who had been severely injured.

This time, with the blessing of the power of the Netherworld, the sword blade pressed against her neck really cut her skin, and a trace of dark red blood ran along the blade and dripped on the ground.

"Char, it seems that you have gained strength from Monroe's daughter..." The devil knew his details completely. She smiled tiredly and said as if accepting her fate: "Congratulations, you won."

"Where is Monroe?" He didn't want to talk nonsense to the devil.

"Don't worry, he's still alive. Like you, he's just temporarily trapped by me. He'll be free in a moment. He'll come to you soon."

The devil said it calmly.

Charles looked at her indifferent eyes, his confusion and doubts still lingering.

This guy's voice was exactly the same as the system's, as well as the unintelligible words she said, which always made it difficult for him to let go.

"You said before that I was seduced by some angel when I came to the world of Arran... Is it true? What happened?"

"Just think that I'm lying to you. Anyway, I, the devil, have been defeated. Even if I say something, you won't take it seriously."

The indifferent look on her face made Ciel very angry.

"...I don't understand. You seem to know everything. You seem to know that I will come back to kill you. But you still deliberately stay here, waiting for me to come? Moreover, you didn't use all your strength just now. The knot you created this time The world is very fragile, and the summoned puppets are as brittle as paper... What on earth are you playing?"

The devil laughed and said nothing.

"Forget it." Ciel's annoyance has reached its peak: "I will directly chop you to death, and then take your body to the Holy See."

"It's up to you. Anyway, this is just a broken body. The obsessions and desires that make up me will not disappear, and I will not die completely. I will be reborn again without even waiting for the next era." The devil raised his head , said provocatively: "But before you kill me, can you let me say something?"

"What are you going to say?"

"Riots are a necessary process for change." The devil said with a serious face: "It was those people who longed for change and riots that made me born from the Netherworld. It was not my appearance that brought chaos and riots. Charles, you don't have to pretend. Yes, I know that you are as disgusted as I am by those high-ranking nobles and lords. You have no desire or need to serve the Holy See..."

"...Suffer death."

He originally planned to take the demon back to Glory City for trial, but looking at the demon who was still planning to bewitch him, he changed his mind - this guy was too dangerous, and a dead demon would be safer.

So he wielded his heavy sword and executed her.

The sword wrapped with the power of the underworld beheaded the demon on the spot.

Later, before her body fell, Ciel dropped a few exorcism runes and recited a simple prayer.

From the broken neck of the devil, a burst of thick black smoke emerged, and the smoke spread in the secret room, like countless roaring ghosts.When the black smoke dissipated, the demon corpse lying on the ground had quickly decomposed and turned into a pale skeleton covered in black tar.

The surface of this skeleton is covered with evil spells. Even if an ignorant child sees this thing, he will instinctively stay away.

Although as long as the chaos in the mainland remains calm, sooner or later this demon will reshape itself and come to the world, but if you go back with this skeleton full of evil aura, you should be able to deal with it.

The weird smile of the devil before he died made him very uncomfortable, but he didn't think much about it.

The most important issue now is to find the missing Monroe.

But just as he was thinking about how to find someone, a shout sounded behind him.

"Ciel."

After Ciel slowly turned around, he saw the sword master calling him.

At this time, Monroe looked a little embarrassed. His armor was covered with scratches, and there was a big hole in his breastplate. He was covered in blood, and he was still holding half of a long sword in his hand. It seemed that he had just experienced a big battle.

He seemed to have emerged from the earth.

-------------Monroe's explanation-------------

"Monroe told me: Like me, he was imprisoned in a barrier by demons and was forced to fight countless enemies. The battles he experienced were more dangerous than mine. Even the blade of his sword was broken, and he could only use only The remaining broken sword is used to defend the enemy.

"I was able to escape from the devil's barrier thanks to the help of Sirna, but Monroe was not as lucky as me. It wasn't until I killed the 'subversive' and the barrier was broken that he finally escaped and returned to Reality.

"It has been a month or two since he learned that the outside world has passed, and I have gained strength from her daughter. When the devil was completely executed by me, he did not show too much surprise, and still had the same indifferent expression.

"But I very much doubt it... That wasn't the first time I saved him. Last time, I was sent to the northern mountains by the Pope to rescue Monroe, who had no news. As a result, before I saw Monroe in person, he died on his own Found me.

"It's the same this time. I was supposed to save him, but he suddenly appeared behind me - the devil just disappeared and he appeared. Especially when facing Monroe, that kind of The strong sense of disobedience made me really wonder if he was possessed by a demon.

"But he was very calm and calm. His statement cannot be verified, let alone falsified. What do you think about how he can touch the Holy Emblem calmly and tell me the details of when I learned swordsmanship with him in the seminary? None of it seems fake. I can only return to Glory City with him.

"He behaved very normally along the way. After returning to Glory City with the devil's bones, I took the time to express my concerns about Monroe to the Pope again, but the Pope still reassured me and said that I was overthinking .

“I can only put aside my suspicion and focus on helping Luovna get out of the crime.

"What I didn't know at the time was that seven of the children created for me by 'Subversive' had already been taken to the Holy See by Monroe and handed over to St. Ann IV."

100.Sirna’s transformation

After returning to Glory City, Ciel handed over the demon's corpse.

Anyone with a discerning eye can also see that this skeleton filled with evil spirits is definitely not something that humans can possess. However, this is still not enough to help Lovna escape the crime.

Because the most important thing is: the riots have not stopped.

Gangs are still rampant and riots continue everywhere.

Sure enough, as the devil said, killing a devil would not end the current chaos.

After all, the mainland will be in chaos every few decades.

Either a war for the throne, a crusade against heretics, or an uprising by urban bottom workers and serfs...

Anyway, every time there is a riot for a few years, a lot of people will die, and then the riots will slowly subside, and the civilians will live a peaceful life eating bran for decades, and then a group of people who are dissatisfied with the status quo will jump out and continue Noisy.

Repeatedly.

Every time there is a commotion, the devil comes out to cause trouble.Lovna was hit by this gun. Because of her ignorance and stupidity, she was deceived and became the person who caused the chaos.She too is doomed to bear the wrath of the people.

Therefore, the jurors questioned the corpse brought back by Charles and whether it was the corpse of the demon.

Even if Monro was the guarantor, even if Ciel swore under the Holy Emblem, even if the incantation on the corpse clearly stated that this was the corpse of the great demon... it was still useless.

A group of people headed by Bishop Mercy still want to make this a solid case.

After all, as long as there are riots everywhere, this matter cannot be easily revealed.

The Holy See must execute anyone related to the "Red-Haired Witch", whether it is the devil itself or a mortal who was bewitched.Only in this way can public anger be calmed, and the Holy See's uncompromising attitude towards the devil be demonstrated, and the Holy See be the absolute guardian of order and absolute piety and justice.

Petitions received by the Vatican piled up on the Pope's desk.

Facing these people who deliberately want Lovna dead, Charles really has nothing to say.

Sirna, she was very worried about her teacher: "Teacher, you don't want to escape from prison and rescue Lovna, do you? Don't do anything stupid!"

Today, she is the one who most firmly believes that Ciel killed the demon.Although she didn't know how the teacher did it, she just believed it because her teacher was the strongest.

Therefore, she is also the one who resents those who question her teachers (such as Bishop Mercy) the most.

"Apart from prison robbery, is there any other way?" He seemed to have made up his mind.

"........."

He reiterated: "Hirna, I will not give up on your sister, just like I will not give up on you."

"I see, teacher."

Frustrated, Hilna could only listen to her teacher.

She understood how stubborn Ciel could be sometimes, but she had no choice but to let him be her teacher.Even if he really planned to blast the prison open tomorrow and run away with Lovna, he would still help the teacher.

At this moment, the Pope suddenly found Sirna.

"My child, I have a method that can accomplish multiple things with one stone." The kind old lady said gently: "It can save your sister, get rid of those people who are in the way, and it can also make it easier for you to resume your duties in the future."

"Oh? Really?" Sirna knew that Your Majesty would never lie. She was absolutely sure of what she said, and she immediately felt very happy: "Then I'll tell Teacher Charles."

"You can't tell him, he is a proud and stubborn man, and he will definitely not agree."

"why?"

"This method...he may object. I didn't want to do it."

As he spoke, Saint An IV took out a map of the surrounding area of ​​Glory City, which was full of marks.Many shacks and refugee areas that have recently been built around the city have been marked with black pens.However, there is another location marked with a red pen, which seems to be on the outskirts of Glory City.

"Now, the leader who is clamoring to execute your sister is Bishop Mercy. In addition to her residence in the city, she also has a manor of their family in this place marked in red. The day after tomorrow, she will return to the manor to visit her relatives and friends ...The defense here is very tight, and there are many magician guards."

The Pope said lightly: "Sirna, you know that there is a group of gangs roaming around Glory City, right? In a few days, these gangs will flow to the outskirts of Bishop Mercy's manor. If they can invade the manor and plunder, they can be solved. Get rid of this troublesome bishop. However, not to mention the high walls on the outside, those guards will also be a big trouble.

"Your spells are stronger than them all, and you are especially good at concealment spells. You use the soul-crushing spell to scare the guards, and then blow down the wall, and then the gangsters can get in. This most annoying trouble can be solved. I'll tell you then. , Bishop Mercy's manor was robbed by rampant gangs, and he died in the hands of the gangsters.

"Then, find a red-haired girl, send her to the cell where Lovna is being held, and let her be burned at the stake instead of Lovna."

After the Pope finished speaking, Sirna was completely stunned by this plan.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine. Except for Bishop Mercy, everyone else can take care of it - so far, everyone just wants the Holy See to publicly execute the red-haired witch. As for who this red-haired witch is, there is no need to care too much. Yes. I was also worried that your teacher Charles would do something impulsive for Lovna, so I used this method."

"This is not, this is not..." Sirna did not expect that the Pope would come up with such an idea: "This... is a crime..."

"This is also for the sake of the overall situation. Sirna, it was because of Bishop Mercy's deliberate publicity that Lovna's matter became such a big deal. It was her clamor that convinced everyone that this little red-haired girl was the culprit. You, and Ciel, have been accused without reason."

"but……"

"Silna." The Pope was very patient and his tone was as gentle as a kindly grandmother coaxing her children:

"Sometimes, people have to learn to make decisions. Some people like to hide behind a righteous name to seek personal gain for themselves. Bishop Mercy is such a person. Does she really care about the civilians killed by the riots?

"No, she just wanted to show off her skills and establish her character by forcefully demanding the execution of Lovna. Let others believe that she is a leader who is irreconcilable with the devil, the mob, and the rebels.

"As a high-level mage, she actually knew very well that the skeleton brought back by Charles belonged to the devil. But she still had to doubt it.

"Moreover, when you first came to Glory City, she really wanted to accept you as a disciple and be your mentor. But why is she now accusing you of being the witch's sister and not worthy of being a bishop or even being in the Holy See? Just Because you are my student now, her hatred and resentment towards me have been transferred to you.

"She deliberately made things difficult for you and Charles, essentially for power and status, selfish desires and hatred. Sirna, I hope you can understand. This kind of villain framed you for no reason. .So, if you want to resume your original position, you must let these ignorant guys disappear.

"Since they are hiding behind righteousness and canon rules and doing so, there is no way for them to be punished through fair procedures. They can only use this shady method. There is no other way, Sirna."

Sirna felt that the pope who seemed kind and kind in the past was now extremely strange.

"The red-haired woman who was tortured in Lovna's place is also a criminal, so you don't have to worry. Only the guilty will be punished. This is the only way. I know your teacher is very anxious, if you don't hurry up If you rescue your sister, Ciel will definitely do something stupid like jailbreaking. Then your future will be completely ruined.

"Sirna, don't forget, after you used magic for the first time as a child and lost control, your teacher Charles used a similar method to help you get away with it - he killed a criminal and then burned him, claiming He executed the devil himself.

"Now, it's the same, but it's your sister who needs to be saved."

………………

…………

……

"...Okay, Your Majesty..."

After thinking for a long time, Sirna agreed.

----------------

Bishop Mercy was born in a noble family and had a high status.Therefore, they can own a large area of ​​land near Glory City. Even in this bad situation, the manor guarded by high walls still seems safe and reliable.Refugees and civilians who dare to approach will be punished.

There are also a lot of knights, mages and mercenaries serving their family.It's very safe here.

The compassionate bishop, just as the Pope said, rode a luxurious carriage at a fixed time and drove into the manor under the escort of knights.

Sirna hid her figure without alerting anyone. After sneaking into the manor, she saw the arrogant bishop in the Holy See, as a kind elder, laughing and playing with the children in the family.

This compassionate bishop is busy with the affairs of the Holy See and lives in the city on weekdays, rarely returning to the manor on the outskirts of the city.Several of her nieces and nephews were overjoyed for her arrival and held a sumptuous banquet, with even the servants and guards sharing the rewards.

This made Sirna even more confused.

After hesitation, in the latter half of the night, a few lights lit up outside the manor, and it seemed that a large group of people had gathered outside the manor - they were what the bishop said were "the gangs that were about to rob the manor."

These flashes of fire quickly attracted the attention of the guards.
