Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 212
Nine needles fly toward the entrance without any warning, and return at the same speed.
It was impossible to aim straight at the vital points, so the attack aimed at the upper body rather than the neck, and all the ten or so cultists who could be seen fell to the ground. Not a few of them died in one hit, but there were quite a few who tried to rise again after being knocked down.
And without missing the chance, Ekaterina jumped forward.
“Ahh, ah, no…”
Ekaterina didn’t shout or scream. He just scratched the floor with his warhammer with short breaths and swung it wide and low. With just that, the soil floor cracks and explodes, sweeping away defenseless cultists along with it. If you’re lucky, a whole person will be blown away, but if you’re not lucky, your limbs will be torn off, and the bloody blow is simple, yet powerful and threatening.
Because of that one surprise attack, incomprehensible screams and screams erupted simultaneously from deep inside the entrance, making it look like the gates of hell from which the dead are trying to escape.
“Red raid! Red raid!”
“Shields! Shields advance!”
“Wrong! The attack I just made can pierce the shield! I have to stick with it!”
“The warrior charged! That attack must be prepared! If you don’t charge now, you’ll get hit again!”
It was a strange sight. They are obviously fleeing the battlefield, but when a crisis hits, they habitually begin to command and act like soldiers. What was most surprising was that there was even a guy who made a sharp inference that I wouldn’t be able to use the needle often since Yekatrina rushed after my single attack using an irrational head that believed that I could be reincarnated as a demon after dying.
Of course, there is no such thing as a delay.
It was a bluffing attempt, hoping to misunderstand it like that, but the target was still an unidentified commander deep in their lair, not these guys. All I wanted from these guys right now was to see them stunned by fear.
“Well, it doesn’t matter anyway.”
As I drew my sword, arrows flew in from behind me toward the entrance. Magic missile-like magic flies from the location of the party who ambushed left and right with me and Ekatrina in the center. At first glance, it was a scene where Ekatrina raging in front of her felt really dangerous, but arrows and magic avoided her as if she were alive and only aimed at enemies.
It is a very reliable link. As expected, working with Gaendal’s party becomes easier.
“I’ll break through like this! Gin, Carls, Baize, and Sen protect the wizards! Mr. Gaendal, along with me, protect Yekatrina!”
As would be expected from an experienced adventurer, their answer was action, not words.

“Huh?!”
Seeing the blood and flesh splattered by the projectile that pierced the back of the head of the preceding 20, the only reaction 21 could show was to scream. An awl-like object sticking out the size of an index finger spun with an eerie sound from 20’s head before disappearing with a whooshing sound.
Number 21 understood a little too late that what she had just witnessed was the projectile that Number 84 had described terrified. And that it did not suddenly disappear, but returned to the user. That the blow had caused most of the brothers in front of him to fall and start crawling on the floor.
With shouts of anger, surprise, and bewilderment, the other brothers rushed forward, and when he came to his senses belatedly in the sword of hell being torn apart like paper by a female warrior who appeared following the projectile, he had already turned around and walked through the passage he had come from. was running like
‘Boo Bo! I have to report it!’
The plan went awry. Therefore, it is important to notify abnormal situations as soon as possible. I will never abandon my brothers and run away.
With countless excuses that couldn’t come out of his mouth, number 21 ran toward the depths of the church. He was so nervous that he couldn’t control his breathing, so he was breathing quickly, but he couldn’t stop. Even though I was running like crazy, I didn’t think that the screams and bursts from behind would go far.
It didn’t take long to understand what that meant. 21 shouted at the top of his voice when he realized that the enemy was charging, literally ‘wiping out’ his brothers.
“It’s a raid! It’s a raid!”
The interior of the church, which was created by arbitrarily remodeling the original altar and space, was not that complicated. Just by his shouting, the brothers, who were aware of the seriousness of the situation and were very nervous, immediately appeared to fix their weapons.
The brothers responded well to the warning. Then, eagerly running toward the entrance, he also screamed and disappeared.
But the death that followed did not slow it down. Number 21 headed deeper, trying to erase the realization that he was sacrificing his brothers to unidentified assailants in order to survive.
The interior of the church, which had only felt grand before, began to feel like a huge stone tomb. Knowing what his dwindling brethren meant, he just ran. The brothers who responded to his cry did not even think of running in the same direction as him. Just running in the opposite direction to fend off intruders enthusiastically.
Still, death did not slow down.
“High Priestess! An attacker is breaking into the interior!”
What he saw when he arrived at the chapel of the church was the calm appearance of the brothers of the 10th generation, including the high priest. Seeing how calm they were in the midst of all the fuss, Number 21 felt a deep sense of relief welling up in them that they would solve it all.
“Brother Number 21. Didn’t you take part in the raid? How are you here?”
“That, they struck first! Even now, they’re madly heading towards this place…!”
-Wheeik!
At that moment, something flew past him towards the altar with a terrible whistle behind him.
“What #84 said…!”
What came into the field of view at number 21 before the brothers distorted in astonishment was the hole in the brow of the high priest who was looking at him with a solemn face. The high priest’s head, which had been thrown back with a great shock, seemed to return to its original position due to the recoil, and then sat down on the floor like a doll with a thread cut.
The high priest, their spiritual leader and the highest authority of the church, passed away without even reacting properly.
“As expected, ambush is always right. Like moths jumping into fire, they run away without doing anything, right?”
Number 21 sat down and looked back. Even though he was obviously running at full speed, he was paralyzed by the fact that the assailant had arrived at the chapel at almost the same speed as himself, and he was unable to take any other action.
“Greetings devil worshipers. Where’s number 84? I was supposed to kill him last. I hope I didn’t accidentally kill him on the way.”
There, one of the assailants, covered in blood, was holding a projectile that returned to him with one hand, showing his teeth and laughing. He seemed to have no objection to holding the bloodied projectile. Well, it was natural in a way, since his appearance was too much to feel repulsed by such a thing.
The sound of the 10th division brothers drawing their swords echoed from behind #21.
“Damn it! Attack…”
-Quaang!
However, they failed to pounce on the assailant. This time, an unknown explosion occurred from behind the altar.
The terrible word “diversion operation” passed through Number 21’s mind. At the same time, it also occurred to me that the church had a secret exit in case of an emergency. It was a memory that was naturally forgotten because it was so old and there was nothing to write about.
“What is that?”
However, the assailant tilted his head and looked at the back of the exploded altar. Isn’t that a raid? So what is that explosion all about?
“In the name of Epaga!”
“The price of blasphemy will be paid with life!”
Demons appeared in the explosion shouting answers to the questions.
◈
Deoni Bire swung his mace, striking a cultist in front of him just as he had charged forward with his shield raised to break down the wall.
The body strengthened by divine power was like lightning, and while the cultist hit by the shield flew across the air, the skull of the other cultist who had not yet reacted was shattered and their life changed. stirred between the fields.
Those who came with her were no different. Because they were skilled judges of heresy. Less than 10 cultists had to face death without being able to properly respond to the sudden surprise attack.
“…Holy Maid. Something is strange.”
“Iknow, right.”
Thinking that they would be dealing with a huge number of cultists right away, they formed formation and looked around, but the attack on them did not continue. Even the only things that caught my eye were a cultist crawling on the floor and an unknown man covered in blood dressed in a completely different outfit.
It was a terrible sight. Unless he had killed a person and covered himself with blood on purpose, the man’s face was so incomprehensible that it was impossible to understand how many people he had killed to reach this place.
Despite her sudden appearance, the man only tilted his head and showed no reaction. Instead, it simply stepped forward and slashed the cultist’s throat with one blow. Only after that did the man make eye contact with Deoni properly.
The man, who had been looking at her for a while with a businesslike attitude, as if he was just handling business in order, opened his mouth with his head tilted to the side.
“Demon King? Or just the Demonic Cult?”
In the midst of a strong sense of crisis, as if life or death could depend on the answer, Deoni unknowingly fixed her weapon.
