Chapter 14: Liberating Rione | Part 2

Rione’s crumbling walls were no longer capable of serving their function.

Suddenly, a horde of undead was spewed from one of the massive holes in the wall, paying the mountain of rubble in their path no heed as they advanced.

Although they weren’t marching like a human army, they weren’t mindlessly charging ahead as they’d been doing.

Two figures were leading the pack of undead…… the pair distinctly different from those following in their wake.

One was a small boy, probably the boy Goemon had mentioned.

Innocence remained in the boy’s delicate features, his cold eyes and straight hair drawing attention to his face.

It was possible he was apart of the priesthood, given the white robes he wore. Dressed in those decorative robes, the boy wouldn’t be out of place in a local choir.

The person beside the boy was wearing luxurious canonical robes.

Even though I couldn’t see his face, given the elaborately designed staff the man carried, it was clear as day that he was a high ranking member of the church.

The white veil attached to his headpiece completely hid the man’s face. The act of concealing his face give the man an eerie atmosphere.

The pair leading the undead both wore a necklaces engraved with the Hiruku’s “Holy Seal”, marking them as the church’s administrators.

Clearly, they were high ranking individuals of the Hiruku Theocracy.

The distance between the pair and us steadily decreased, yet neither their horde or any of us did anything rash, as open hostility would destroy any chance for negotiations. Only when we could hear each other did they halt their advance.

For a while, only the sound of rustling grass could be heard.

As we evaluated our enemies, our enemies evaluated us.

After a few moments of silence, the veiled man was the first to speak up.

“……I never imagined you’d try to capture the city with such a small force.”

Although his voice was flat, and without any intonations, his genuine surprise was clearly transmitted.

I stared back at him when I felt his gaze from behind his veil.

“So, you’re the knight who defeated our Palermo? I must admit, battling another player without using soldiers seems like it’ll be fun. Shall we introduce ourselves?”

After one-sidedly dominating the conversation, the veiled man raised his staff into the sky and invoked a powerful spell.

“Come forth denizen of the underworld, 【Skeletal Balaam】!”

A massive, ink-black cloud instantaneously formed in response to the man’s chant, and from the blood-red magical aura churning within the clouds emerged a fifteen-meter tall, demonic creature.

Though I’ve never actually seen a demon, there was no other way to the describe the beast in front of me.

A human skull mask sat comfortably between the creature’s ram horns and murderous intent emanated from his four blood red pupils.

Even though it had the appearance of a hominid, its body was covered in thick black hair, its limbs were skeletal, and both gray wings and a serpentine tail sprung from its back.

The skeletal demon raised the large swords it carried in both hands and unleashed an eerie war cry before leaping at Williahsfim behind us.
