Chapter 410: Beyond the Conspiracy

Editor: Tseirp

Ive been rescuing a lot of male-female pairs lately.

Ryo said while folding his arms in satisfaction.

What he recalled in his mind was the duo of Captain Bangan and Vice Captain Amalia of the Republic.

That said, its not all over yet.

Right.

Ryo said, and Niels nodded.

Patrice and Guti, right? Can you find your way back to your friends?Yôur favorite stories at wuxiahere.com

Yeah if its just walking I have no problem.

Niels asked, and Guti answered.

Patrice looked a little worried, but his gaze was ignored.

Okay. Then well go around to the left, toward the western countries of the Dark Continent.

Got it!

Niels said, and the other three answered.

Then the four members of Room 10 started running.

Meanwhile, the arena, the main venue for the Popes inauguration ceremony, was in chaos.

His Holiness the Pope has been stabbed! Archbishop Goon stabbed him!

Quickly! Cast Extra Heal!

The Pope was left lying on the podium where he was stabbed.

Archbishop Goon was being held down by his side, his head on the floor with eyes out of focus, offering no resistance.

Surrounding him were mostly archbishops and above

So naturally, they can use .

However

How come? is being rejected!

Is His Holiness body impervious to Heal?

Its a serious injury. For the time being, weve got to continue casting and keep him alive.

Amid such chaos, how many among the archbishops gathered around the lying pope noticed that a cardinal had slipped in?

The cardinal advanced to the right side of the lying pope, right next to his neck.

Then they took something out of their vestments.

It was an axe.

The axe wasnt that large.

But large enough.

Enough to do what exactly?

Enough to decapitate a person lying motionless

Slash.

Eh

At that moment, no one fully realized what had happened.

An axe swung down and decapitated the Pope as he laid there.

Blood gushed out.

The head rolled.

Cardinal Camillo, holding the bloody axe in both hands, kneeling beside him, staring at the ground.

A world of complete silence.

Why?

Whose voice was that tiny, little voice?

Perhaps it was one of the archbishops who had been working around the pope to revive him.

But that little voice triggered the ensuing chaos.

A roar of outrage.

It was the kind of rage unbecoming of high-ranking priests, but when the head of the Pope, the object of their loyalty, was chopped off right in front of their eyes, its understandable that some may not be able to maintain their sanity.

Priests running around.

Without even knowing the reason why they are running.

Some people walk around the room when they are frustrated. It was an intense version of that.

And some remained still.

That is probably the most common action taken by many people when something they believe in is suddenly lost

The chaos was not limited to the arena.

The priests of the Western Church who were seated in the front auditorium they too were embroiled in the chaos.

No, rather, with nearly two thousand people, suffice to say that they were in a more disorderly mess than the archbishops.

Screaming out.

Running back and forth.

Bursting into tears.

In the corner where the cardinals were gathered, a group of people in black robes came running up to them.

They were the Inquisition.

At the head of the group was Stefania, the head of the Inquisition.

The cardinals, who had been staring at the Pope in surprise, noticed this.

The Inquisition officers surrounded Cardinal Sacharias.

Stefania stood in front of Sacharias.

Chief Stefania, what can I do for you?

Sacharias asked, smiling as usual as he casually slipped the card into his pocket.

We would like to speak to you, Your Eminence, concerning the heinous acts committed against His Holiness the Pope. This is an official Inquisition.

At that moment, a look of agitated emotion flashed across Sachariass face.

Then he glared at Graham.

He finally caught on.

Graham had set it all up, all along.

Yes, both Archbishop Goon and Cardinal Camillo were manipulated by Graham.

The surprised expression on his face earlier was a deception to buy time for this moment.

Chief Stefania said it is an official Inquisition. Not even a cardinal can avoid being subjected to the Inquisition.

Graham said in a loud voice, with a brazen display of boldness.

Graham!

As if mumbling, straining his voice biting down

The word leaked out of Sacharias mouth.

For the past few months, Archbishop Goon, as well as Cardinal Camillo, have been working under the direction of His Eminence Sacharias. While I believe the Inquisition must also find this timing a little ill-fitted, they probably cannot afford to overlook it.

Graham spoke again in a louder voice.

So that the surrounding cardinals could hear him.

And for the archbishops to hear.

The expression on Sacharias face, who had been biting his back teeth so hard that a grinding sound could almost be heard, loosened.

Then, he said in a low, quiet voice.

Very well. Ive already done my part anyway.

Graham was the one who overheard him.

Hate to break it to you, Sacharias. But, the magic circle in the basement is useless.

!

Sacharias reaction to Grahams words was fierce.

The look on his face as he turned to Graham was malevolent and hideous.

The look of a man on the verge of losing his sanity.

Y-You, wretched wretched what did you do?

His low voice was like a whisper with a face like a malevolent spirit, but it wasnt a faint voice that sounded as if it would break, but a voice with a danger of exploding with anger inside.

We made it so that it wouldnt be able to collect the Fragments of God.

Thats impossible the test run operated just fine

Yeah, Im sure it did. Except it wont run as so during the real operation. It was done by someone as adept at alchemy as you are.

Graham spoke to him in a colder tone.

Sacharias got down on both knees and sat down flat on the ground.

Then he scratched his head.

Unbel unbelievable what a blunder Angel-sama Legna-sama, my sincerest regrets for not being able to prove useful to you

From that point on, his voice was so low that even Stefania, who was standing right in front of him, couldnt hear him.

I hereby offer my body to you as your vessel.

Then he raised his hand, and plunged the dagger he had hidden in his sleeves into his own throat.

Wha

Even Stefania was at a loss as she didnt see that coming.

And then the world exploded!

Authors note:

A rare splatter gore development for Water Magician!

Well, the pope isnt human.

So even if his head gets cut off, its safe.

Come to think of it, there has been an appearance of someones head getting cut off.

Akuma Leonor.

Technically speaking, it should be quite difficult to cut off a persons head.
