chapter 27
8-3. A purple phoenix and a vampire saint.
To begin by talking about why I know this nameless saint so well,
You have to go back to when you first encountered
School days in summer when cicadas cried and it was hot,
There was an advertisement saying that if you drink a can of soda, you will be given a character’s goods through a lottery.
“Cider today too? Suhyeon student?”
“Yes, please give me that.”
Watching that, I always drank cider with seven stars at the canteen. Because I was not good at eating bitter things.
“Why don’t you try some other drinks?”
“Because this is the only event. Change here.”
I also remember hearing a voice from the owner. She didn’t care. Honestly, cider is delicious, right? Cool.
“..This isn’t it.”
Other people’s targets were Ariel and polymorphed dragons, but I was different.
“I got it in the end, though.”
The feeling of shiny steel in the palm of your hand.
A girl with wolf ears laughing. Fortunately, it wasn’t a blunt expression, so it was good.
A white-haired saint’s SD character key chain was the end. In reality, it’s one of the items I still have after 10 years.
At that time, I felt the limits of financial power that a middle school student could have,
“Is the 1:1 scale life-size figure of our saintess not for sale? Are you kidding me?”
When I almost couldn’t get the prize when I reached
As an adult, I tried to hit the bankbook.
A gift to the player with the highest price or something. It’s an infamous follow-up event, so I don’t want to remember it now.
[Wow, I’m buying this. Black cow admit…]
[It’s not a black cow, isn’t this a fetish for a saint?]
[Hmmm~~]
[Cows talk to people!!]
[Look at the vulgarly large chunks of fat…]
└[Sunae Black Knight: What are you talking about?? It’s an overwhelming ‘pocket of chastity’?]
└[Yes, the next concubine~ There is no happy ending alone, right?]
└[Even in Harem, it’s cold food…. This is a bit…]
└[Pure love black knight: (Saint emoticon shouting fidelity)]
Somehow, when the person I fell in love with had a body like that, they asked me what to do.
“…”
Actually, there were few competitors because the character was not very popular. In the game community, I was treated like a crazy person, but I didn’t care.
“hahahahaha.. I will have to live on ramen for a few months now.”
A large courier came to the stairs of the apartment and it was almost difficult to deal with, but I managed to get it into the room.
Received the real thing.
“If you were in real life, it would feel like this.”
Looking at his gray hair down to his waist, I felt a strange feeling. How can women’s hair be this long? The golden wolf eyes looked prettier in real life than in the game.
“..You are shorter than me. Is that why you did that at the height-measuring event?”
[You are very tall… ? Knight.. Ughcha..!]
There was an exclusive event with the saintess imagining a kiss while measuring each other’s heights with the player. If nothing else, there was no way I could forget the image of her holding up her heels and having a fresh delusion.
[Enough. Knight. He’s wearing a helmet, so he came out a little bigger!]
But why isn’t the kissing event the only one?
While enjoying the
, My room, which was completely filled with white goods, was occupied by a real-sized saintess.
She is like pure white music paper from her head to toe.
“Well, I think it was right that I fell in love with her face..”
This is also a different smile than usual, so I was embarrassed. Because she had a beautiful smile. It recharges me when I see it when my daily routine is difficult and tiring.
“Let’s see a happy ending in this sequel. Holy Maiden.”
About her The day before I received her mail, the resolution I made while looking at her. It was strange because it felt like a prospective groom being seen off.
.. So she was possessed?
Anyway, this is how serious it is. But there’s no way I wouldn’t recognize the saintess.
***
“Ugh, my tongue is tingling. I can’t even give my first kiss to anyone.”
As if the fog had lifted, my vision blurred and then cleared, and I was standing in a chapel-like space again holding a sword.
A dream is a dream, reality is reality. Even if I stumbled over it, I had no misfortune of having my tongue cut off.
“I never thought there would be a heretic..!!”
“Shouldn’t you imitate our saintess from the beginning?”
Angry at Servi healing her by grabbing one side of her own face.
“You, you dare. Ruin the prophecy, the warrior of omniscience..!!”
“I know how to write third-rate novels.”
The demon king also calculated the number of lives through the Ministry of Life and Death, so there must be many parts that are correct to some extent, but I can guess that much if I do.
I believe that there is a destiny that can overcome it rather than a predetermined destiny.
“..Where did you hide senior Chartines?”
“Do you think you can tell me that? Kyahehehehe..!”
To be honest, I couldn’t control my emotions. Should I have sought out the whereabouts of the female senior or more information about the cult of warriors?
All I knew were things like omniscience and the Demon King of Truth.
At that time, I heard Nex’s voice next to me.
“Uh..? Junior? Are you right?”
“Nex senior. It’s too late to wake up.”
“hahahaha.. I’m sorry. I must have slept for a while…”
The purple-haired man also seemed to have come to his senses. Thank god. If that’s the case, there’s less work to do on your own now. I grabbed the sitting Nex by the hand and raised him up.
“Don’t worry anymore. I watched the situation, and you are very angry.”
“Do you see that?”
“Yes, my hands are still shaking. Junior.”
A remark that struck a chord. I didn’t notice. Is this why Nex worried about me when we first met? I was ashamed of something and found out.
“Twitter..!”
The focus of the phoenix was also back. The spirit, which had found vitality, flapped its wings vigorously.
“Damn it! Tit!”
“Yes, Chirp. Did you try to imitate our Shar and do something evil? I am of the same mind.”
“Did you get hurt too?”
“If only I had been a little late? It’s thanks to my junior. Thanks.”
Nex smiled like a fox, feeling fortunate, and the purple flames that trembled as if shaking off water made chirping sounds.
He was expressing hostility towards the succubus in front of him.
“..Oh, it can’t be.. I can’t..! Obviously, in the hero’s prophecy this time, the Nex Aureus is…!”
“I am not a hero, but a demon king.”
“Right. Junior Richt.”
A disciple of lust whose expression was tinged with bewilderment as he watched Nex awake.
Besides, maybe it’s because I blew her sword skills and hurt her.
“What, what? Why is there blood on my clothes?”
“..Succubus? Aren’t you a warrior?”
“Wasn’t it to save someone’s life..? Why am I in this place..? Well, that was all a dream….”
There was some confusion among the believers who seemed to believe in the Cult of the Brave.
I guess you didn’t gather believers from the beginning? Unsurprisingly, this is the amount of fanatical faith that an apostle who can’t show authority unlike the demon lord can gather.
“Everybody calm down..! It’s a trick! There is a heretic over there!”
Servi gives orders to the followers with her pink eyes shining again.
I recovered with divine power, but it seems that the fascination has been broken due to damage to the body. Still, there were people dressed in white who were targeting Nex with me.
“Hold those two right now! No, kill the black knight helmet! Kill me!”
A succubus pointing at me, isn’t this too blatant? She smiled, grinning at her face, thinking that my life was over.
“Okay!!”
“A mace to the false hero!”
“The target is the Black Knight side! Kill the heretic!!”
“Long live the Brave Bridge! Long live!”
Men in white suits ran towards me and Nex while screaming. They had different weapons in their hands.
“..Junior, I will take care of this.”
“Okay. The purple phoenix.”
Then Nex stood up and blocked my way. The image I saw in Overlapped.
This is like a fellow route line. Could it be that they are no longer rivals?
“Ha ha.. It’s not even funny to rebel against the descendants of 10 girls.”
“Tits.”
Unlike usual, his expression was stiff. Nex, who became serious, summoned the spirit. Sparks lit up in his purple eyes.
「Helios Midnight.」
A phoenix that turned into a giant sphere of flame in its bosom. Heat like the sun raged.
“Only those who want to burn to death should step forward. Brave cultists.”
He moved his steps as he shouted at the crowd. Swirling purple flames opened the way to the succubus.
“Ugh, ugh… It’s so hot….”
“The weapon melted..?”
“The magic circle doesn’t come out!!”
The mace possessed by the cult of warriors melted and became mushy, and the magic circle they cast disappeared in smoke.
As expected, spirits are fraudulent.
Because they are strong no matter how small or large they are. It was a new feeling to see with my own eyes that even a body that looked like a sparrow could demonstrate such tremendous abilities.
“What are you doing! Try freezing magic or whatever!!”
Looking at the followers who couldn’t hold on anymore and began to run, Serbi was shouting with a crying voice. I’m sorry but I wouldn’t.
“It’s no use. The apostle of lust.”
“What… ?”
“The phoenix’s flame can burn everything. Whether it’s magic, swordsmanship, or divine power.”
“Yes, my junior is right.”
Wounds began to open again on her body that had been healed.
“Ke, Kheuk.. I can’t do this.. I can’t..”
“My Licht junior, he has a bad temper!”
“Is that so?”
He cast a shoulder strap on me again. The two of us were right in front of the succubus. I pointed the sword at her throat and asked.
“..Where is the saint named Chartines? Answer me properly this time, succubus.”
“Kyahahahahaha… I absolutely hate it..!”
She lowered her head and started laughing maniacally. If you don’t want to tell me, don’t. I moved my steps and headed for the podium.
“..What, junior?”
Nex felt strange about my questionable behavior. But now time is urgent. I was going to ask Servi in case the gimmick had changed.
“Don’t play with people’s lives.”
Now I just have to do it. In the original game, if you break this, you get a good item, so I memorized it. He turned around and started talking to himself. I had to go through my memory.
“There are two empty bricks at the end here. Unnaturally.”
I put my palm on one side of the wall. There was a tactile sensation of a sunken square. It’s dark, so I wouldn’t have seen it without Nex.
“What, what? Heretic, what are you doing now..”
“So.. Like putting a puzzle together.”
A gimmick like a slide puzzle. When I touched it, it responded by shining brightly.
A strange pattern was engraved on the wall of the podium. A magic formula that is suspicious to anyone. Originally, Serbi would have interfered with the match.

Drreuk.
The enchantment has been dispelled, and the apostle’s obstruction cannot even be approached due to spiritism. In the game, you just had to go in and solve the puzzle.
My hands trembled every time I matched them one by one. Is this really right?
Clack, snap.
Fortunately, I heard a clear sound that matched my expectations.
“As expected, it is a dungeon created by the Demon King of Omniscience.”
“No, this is nonsense. The wall has power….”
I never thought I’d see his name here.
In the original work, there was nothing like this even if all of these were matched, but the fact that it is the past always holds me back. My eyes narrowed slightly.
Let’s complete the puzzle,
The pattern of the huge magic circle was completed, and the large disc rotated, and the wall went inside like a safe was opened. As if it were an elaborate lock, there was a sound of several gears turning.
─Coogguggung!
“Head Ache.”
Ugh, the naming sense is really poor.
A few letters glow, revealing a hidden room inside.
“Char!!”
“Nex.. Is that you?”
I saw a vampire saint tied up with a rope inside. I wouldn’t have done anything bad. If the hostage is injured or something happens, appeasement itself is impossible from the beginning.
..If Nex had come alone, the story would have been different.
He jumped in as soon as the door opened, apparently not paying attention to the puzzle I had solved.
