NOVEL NEXT Chapter 42: Who on earth are you?
Sivis had noticed it long ago.
From the strange expressions of Conning and Flora before, he knew that these two would play tricks.
Having lived together with them as "family" for more than a decade, how could Sivis not understand their thoughts?
These two fellows were afraid of death, but when they knew they were bound to die, they wouldn't mind using their own corpses to trip others up.
Sivis also found that Dailon・Daister, the patriarch of the family, had been missing and had been secretly on his guard.
Sure enough...
He showed up!
Facing the last Blood - Servant who wanted to launch a sneak attack on him, Sivis had only one thought -
It's a pity that its head has been torn off. It can't provide soul points.
Sivis had been waiting for the other side to make the first move.
Blood - Servants have a speed bonus, and Dailon was not weak when he was alive. If he just ran away, Sivis might not be able to catch up.
"So I might as well create a flaw on purpose."
"An unintelligent Blood - Servant really fell for it."
Sivis thought to himself.
While holding Reina in his arms and continuously transmitting holy light, making himself as bright as a crystal, he also gathered light in his palm -
Sivis planned to be cool.
Whether before or after the time - travel, he was just a seventeen - or eighteen - year - old teenager. In front of the girl who liked him, when he had such an opportunity, how could he not show off?
That would be a loss!
Seeing Sivis looking confident and the shining sword blade slowly condensing, Reina's originally panicked expression froze instantly.
"You knew it all along and didn't take action in advance. You have a mean streak, young master!" She chided, burying her face directly into Sivis's chest. But she couldn't help opening her eyes wide, fighting against her drowsiness. She had to watch with her own eyes as Sivis killed this last enemy to feel at ease.
The next second, several bright lights flashed. However, they were not light - swords, but a fierce flame. Then, a silver - white lance shot out and instantly hit the Blood - Servant transformed from Dailon Daister.
The lance went straight through the monster's body, knocking it back hard. Finally, it stuck into a wall, piercing through most of it and nailing the monster firmly to the wall.
Dailon Daister was pinned to the wall by the power mingled with flames and holy light. Along with the terrifying light - flames, he was quickly burned to ashes. The light - sword that Sivis had been ready to launch could only be silently extinguished.
He was slightly taken aback and looked back. Then he saw a young girl in armor, with a soft but somewhat determined face, walking slowly.
The girl had been staring intently at the Blood - Servant transformed from Dailon Daister. Her expression only relaxed slightly until she saw it turn into ashes. Then, she looked at Sivis.
She saw the bright and pure power of light, which was stabilizing the plague on Reina...
Reina also noticed the appearance of this female knight, and her mood immediately turned sour.
She saw that this beautiful and powerful sister had just saved her young master. However, after seeing Sivis, she was like a hyena seeing carrion, with extremely eager and surprised expressions flashing in her eyes.
Who are you?
Why are you looking at my young master like this?
What do you want?
Reina's good mood vanished completely. But she really couldn't hold on any longer mentally. Knowing that this female knight probably meant no harm, she leaned against Sivis's arms. In the moment before her consciousness sank into darkness.
She was still thinking angrily -
Who is this?
Who is this?
When did the young master get to know such a strong and beautiful girl?
I'm so angry!
I'm so angry!!
Veronica didn't know that her eyes had been compared to those of a hyena by Reina.
She was indeed extremely delighted and even stood there in a daze.
"You are..."
"Who are you?"
"Which colleague in which papal see are you? I wonder if you can give me your name."
"I am Vikalina."
"Commanding the Papal Knight Order, with the Holy Flame Emblem."
There was a hint of longing and disbelief in Vikalina's tone.
Sivis was taken aback and didn't have time to speak when a clatter of metal came from behind the female knight. The other members of the knight - order rushed over in a hurry.
They were panting and complaining at the same time: "Lucky! We didn't encounter many Blood Servants along the way!"
"Except for the first wave at the beginning, it was smooth sailing later! It seems we were scaring ourselves. The Evil God has been destroyed for so long. How can there still be the Blood Clan causing trouble?"
"We took the initiative this time and will get credit for it!"
"Come on. Instead of competing for credit, it's better to steadily accumulate qualifications. After the mission is over, I must apply for a transfer. I don't want to team up with this madman anymore..."
Although the members were wearing magnificent armor, they were full of fatigue and dissatisfaction, and completely lacked the sacred appearance of "protecting the weak" as the Papal See publicized. Their complaints instead made Vikalina look even more heroic - there were still beads of sweat on her temples at the moment, just like the determined look when she threw the lance and killed Dailon Daister with one blow, exuding a noble and sacred aura all over.
The chatter suddenly stopped.
Everyone saw -
A young man, holding a young girl in his arms, with a calm and rather handsome face, was emitting an extremely pure and brilliant light.
"Which department does someone with such powerful holy light belong to? Why don't I have any impression at all?"
"Who is he? One of the new candidate Holy Sons who joined the Papal See?"
"No... If Vikalina gets in touch with him, won't her status in the Papal See rise?"
"If this Holy Son shares the same ideals as Vikalina, aren't we in trouble?" Many members of the knight - order whispered and communicated in low voices.
They were only slightly shocked for a short while when they saw Sivis's posture wrapped in holy light, and then began to feel dissatisfied.
The members of the knight - order also believed that someone with such pure holy light must be extremely knowledgeable and pious about the doctrines.
Such people are the most troublesome. They affect their ability to make money on ordinary days and will force them to risk their lives at critical moments.
"So what if there is pure holy light? A batch of Holy Sons and Holy Daughters will be selected every few decades. Only those families that have made unparalleled contributions in the early battles against evil and have a clear inheritance within the Papal See are the truly immortal existences of the Papal See. Holy Sons and Holy Daughters are just working for us."
"Give him some face. He's a Holy Son."
"If he acts recklessly like Vikalina..."
"Just kick him out."
It's rather funny to say.
Sivis wasn't hated by the people in the Papal See because of his identity as a Demon Lord. Instead, because of his pure holy light and due to Vikalina's reasons, he was hated by these people in the Knight - Order.
Whispers kept coming from the rear.
However, Vikalina maintained the posture she had when introducing herself earlier, and no negative emotions welled up.
She didn't care anymore!
Vikalina had found the third person, someone with pure holy light —
The handsome young man in front of her, who was cherishing and protecting the girl in his arms.
Vikalina's heart was beating very fast. As a member of the Knight - Order, she didn't need to maintain chastity like the Holy Maiden Werner.
Out of a girl's instinct, she was a bit excited to see such an opposite - sex who could join her camp.
Previously, Vikalina encountered Blood Servants blocking the way near the Papal Church. She fought all the way. Each charge made her mind more and more resolute and her heart colder and colder.
At that time, she was prepared to fight alone and determined to follow her beliefs and fight against the evil in this world.
She felt so lonely and helpless, and it was extremely difficult to move forward on the path of justice.
Who would have thought that in this Minnet City, a new partner would actually appear, which made Vikalina's eyes glisten with tears.
"It's so hard..." Looking at Sivis, she thought in her heart that this must be a kind - hearted person who cares about all the people, is gentle and kind, dares to fight against evil and injustice, and has a very pious belief in the Papal See!
Damn it! The Papal Knight - Order!
It scared the very Evil God, who is a particularly heart - less, ruthless capitalist that brutally oppresses workers!
When Sivis saw this scene in front of him, his heart was also beating very fast!
His brain was also working at high speed.
At first, he was stunned for a moment. As a Demon Lord, and the Holy Maiden Werner had also personally determined that the future "Holy Flame Spear" of the Papal See would come to cause trouble for Sivis.
Now that Vikalina had appeared, how could he not be flustered?
Why did she come to Minnet City???
She was a genuine Silver - rank powerhouse. Even if she was only around Silver - rank 1 or 2, Sivis' most powerful trump card, the Holy Sword Technique, would have its lethality greatly reduced against an opponent who also mastered the power of holy light.
He couldn't beat her!
Plus, there was a group of Knight - Order members in the rear, which made Sivis lose all desire to fight.
Fortunately...
"Why do I feel that Vikalina has no ill - will towards me??"
Sivis calmed down a bit and noticed that the female knight's attitude towards him was somewhat strange.
He looked around and then at the bright, warm and brilliant holy light on his body. Anyone who saw it would surely exclaim that he, Sivis, must be a devout priest.
"Could it be..." Sivis was also a bit stunned.
His original plan was that the female knight would come to search for and rescue Werner, and she would also have a corresponding exclusive guardian.
If there was a chance, he would capture Vikalina and lock her up in his territory for some "training".
"This female knight has a rather high initial favorability towards me. She seems to trust me a lot and is quite easy to deceive..."
"Then, how about stabilizing her first?"
"With Reina's current situation, it's not convenient for me to leave Minnet City either..."
Sivis decisively spoke up: "I'm Sivis・Daister. As you can see, I'm the only survivor of this family. I'm not a member of the Papal See, just an ordinary person."
"If you're not from the Papal See, how is that possible? Then how did you cultivate such pure the power of holy light? Report your cultivation process to us."
"Do you know that the holy light is not allowed to be leaked out easily!"
"Sivis, right? Come here. We have something to ask you."
Many members of the Knight - Order at the back frowned and stepped forward. In the eyes of some people, there even flashed a trace of veiled greed and surprise!
