Chapter 152 – A Surprising Person Was There
A Surprising Person Was There
Perhaps I should escape to a different continent while I still can.
If I go in a hurry, I could still make it in time.
...Well, to be honest. I was a little skeptical about them even being capable of making a device that could destroy the entire continent.
Maybe nothing would happen if I left it alone.
“We don’t get any information, but I have speculated on it.”
“...And what do you think?”
“Currently, I haven’t heard of any notable movement at headquarters or any of the other branches.....That suggests that everything is going smoothly and according to plan.”
“According to plan... In that case, it should be finished within 10 days at the least or 20 at the most?”
10 days...
If what they were saying was true, I would have to hurry if I did decide on leaving.
However, who knows if I would be safe.
I didn’t know anything about this Universe Purification Device, but if it had enough power to destroy a continent, then it should have a massive effect on the environment.
If such magic was activated... It seemed possible that the entire planet would become uninhabitable.
...It seemed that I would have the highest chance of surviving if I somehow found the location of this device and used Hellfire of Obliteration in order to stop their plan.
“10 days, huh. ...It’s been so long, but now the time has come.”
“...In other words, we only have 10 days to live. ...Do you have any regrets?”
“I have none. I’m so fulfilled as I have killed a lot of people... And I was involved in a plot to destroy the continent. ...Oh, to be honest, I would have liked to kill just one more person.”
Yeah.
They were such trash that I wanted to vomit.
It seemed like the Blue Moon of Salvation were just a group of people who enjoyed killing.
...But, would a group of murderers really name themselves the Blue Moon of Salvation?
It was very odd... The voices continued.
“Well, unlike us, headquarters’ main objective is to defeat the Black Dragon of Destruction. So it cannot be helped.”
“Yes, the leaders at headquarters don’t seem to have that much interest in murder. ...I like that they let us kill lots of people, but I don’t like their attitude about it.”
“Being able to murder on such a scale is a nice perk. So I don’t care what the leaders are thinking!”
...Hmm. So the people at headquarters had a different motive.
The people at the bottom just wanted an excuse to kill.
But headquarters... Wanted to defeat this ‘Black Dragon of Destruction.’
“By the way... Is it even possible to defeat this ‘Black Dragon of Destruction’? To be frank, I only care about killing humans.”
“I don’t know. According to the myth, only the ‘Emissary’ can defeat the Black Dragon of Destruction. But I find that highly questionable.”
“...Indeed! And who cares about any of that!”
It seemed that the Ordarion branch had little interest in the Blue Moon of Salvation’s true objective.
But...they did give me some good information.
This ‘Black Dragon of Destruction.’
If the Universe Purification Device was made in order to defeat it...
Maybe doing some research on this dragon will give me an idea of where the device would be built.
So, I suppose I should look into this myth...
That meant going to the church.
◇
“...Here it is.”
The Iriarch church was in the center of the town.
But...the building itself was smaller than any church I had seen up until now.
That suggested their library could not be very extensive.
However, maybe I could find out where to go to get to a bigger church.
In any case, I had to talk to the people inside.
Thinking this, I stepped foot into the building.
—It was very quiet inside the church.
There was no one here, except for a single priest who was passionately offering his prayers.
This...made it a little awkward to talk to him.
It seemed like the kind of situation where speaking out loud was forbidden.
What to do...
As I wondered...the Priest suddenly stood up.
And then he slowly turned towards me...with a look of satisfaction.
“I see. So that’s what it all means.”
“...Father Shtyle?”
His face...was quite familiar.
It was the man who gave me the Keshis shortsword that I used to fight the Blue Dragon of Delight.
Father Shtyle.
“Yes. Mister Yuji, it’s been a while.”
“Ah, ahh... But, why are you here?”
“Because God told me to come here. Yes, he told me today. ‘Go to the church in Iriarch.’”
