Clues (6)

“Depravity is sin! Repent with death!”

Beasts can tear orcs apart with their bare hands…

The agent who went out of the barrier presented a truly overwhelming sight.

“Are those the heterogeneous Inquisitors…?”

“Honestly, I’m glad you’re my ally. I’m not confident I’ll win.”

The agent was unstoppable to the extent that even the watching knights casually said that in front of the escort target.

It was to the extent that it seemed that the orcs were gradually getting scared and trying to get away from the agent.

It seemed like they were flocking this way as if they had changed their goals towards us who had built the barrier, but the agent wouldn’t allow any orcs to even approach it, let alone the barrier.

I couldn’t understand why I was so worried about being surrounded. Did I need holy magic for this? Were you really worried that my hair would get hurt?

I was looking at the scene with a little empty feeling, but before I knew it, the agent who had finished organizing was standing tall against the background of the corpses of the orcs.

To be honest, it’s kind of cool.

I disarmed the barrier and approached the agent who was still standing there.

“Grrr…”

“Rita.”

When the visible aura did not subside from excitement, he called out his name and took a step closer.

The agent looking at me at that. The vertically split eyes, the sharp nails growing from the hands, and the sharp molars exposed at first glance were very impressive.

There are times when the Beastmen leave their bodies to the wild after fighting. Memo. No, seeing this, the market was really torn to death.

“…”

A momentary subtle confrontation.

As I took a step closer, the agent took a step back, surprised that he had come to his senses only then.

One step closer, then another step back. One step closer, one step back. One step closer, one step back.

…You want me to catch up with you now? What the hell are you trying to do?

I was dumbfounded, so I closed the distance at once and held hands.

I guess I hated showing it more than I thought.

“Why are you backing down?”

“Now I’m covered in a lot of Orc’s blood. It’s just that it’s dirty.”

Have you heard of the time-honored 1st-circle magic, and in fact, clearing the opening spell magic, which is suspected to be the strongest magic?

When the filth on the agent’s body was removed using holy magic, the agent, who had no excuses, turned his head away without saying anything.

“I’m fine no matter what Rita-sama is doing.”

You can wash it when it gets dirty, and beastmen can fight like beasts.

I deliberately looked around without letting go of the agent’s hand.

Around them, the orcs that the agent had dealt with were strewn about like human corpses.

I’m going to have to do the 2nd quarantine work.

Knowing that they were also originally human, it felt a little strange. Desperate humans who would have wanted to eat even spoiled meat.

It would have been nice if we could turn the orcs back into humans, but somehow we knew right away.

It’s already too late. Even when the orcs were still alive, I couldn’t remember their names.

By the time he became an orc, he must have already died.

Strangely bitter, I started to incinerate the Orcs again with sparks.

“Aren’t you overdoing it?”

“This is fine.”

It wasn’t too much of a stretch for me, who was half-forced to follow along, and who was determined to end this situation neatly.

The real group didn’t know anything and did it when they said they would erase the divine reversal curse.

After burning all the Orcs and starting out on the road once again, there was no problem after that.

It was hard to find orcs, as if all the orcs around them had really come.

It was just that I couldn’t move fast because I was going to make up one by one every time I saw a corpse every once in a while.

After repeating this a few times, I began to think that I might miss the devil worshiper by doing this.

When I started seriously thinking about ignoring the corpses, the agent said.

“I hear human voices.”

“A human voice?”

Are you finally meeting a living human?

There was a high probability that any living human who had come this far would know a crucial clue, or at least something that would be helpful.

“The problem is that I can hear the voices of the Orcs.”

What?

“I’m in a hurry.”

“Okay. Excuse me for a moment.”

excuse…?

While I was in a daze, not understanding the words, the sight changed before I knew it and the scenery around me changed quickly.

This is a somewhat familiar landscape.

“Sleep, what are you doing!”

A scream close to the scream of the knights came from behind.

“Even if it’s uncomfortable, please bear with me for a moment. I can’t miss the clues I’ve gotten so far.”

No, that’s true a hundred times, but this is a bit…

The agent carried me on his back in an instant and started running. This time, I didn’t feel the air resistance more than I thought, perhaps because the air resistance was reduced by holy magic.

I remember being kidnapped while riding in Belarus. Does history repeat itself?

From behind, the bewildered knights were following, carrying the patient like a piece of luggage.

…Yeah, better than that. This time, it’s not kidnapping, and there’s a legitimate reason.

And finally, the appearance of the orcs in the distance began to stand out.

“Is that it?”

“That’s right.”

The number of Orcs was higher than expected, so people were not even visible.

The agent was fast enough, but I was anxious for nothing.

It’s not like it’s been done already, right?

I can’t do it. Let’s blow a big one.

Having made up my mind, I began to implement the holy magic as it was.

Behind the agent who ran at such a high speed, he did not have the confidence to properly hit the orcs that were so far away, so he imagined a large and gigantic cluster of lights as much as possible.

It doesn’t have to be enough killing power to kill. It just needs to be able to turn attention to us.

After completing the implementation, I threw a spell on the Orcs as they were.

Receive Saint Life Beam!

…I said I was in a hurry, but my naming sense sucks.

Even thinking about it after flying it, to my surprise, this was the season 1 attacking technique I used after reincarnation.

The name of my season 1 offensive divine technique is Saint Life Beam.

From nob le mt l. com

Let’s change this later.

Contrary to the crude naming sense, the embodied divin law faithfully fulfilled its role.

Contrary to its name, the light that was shot out instantly sent dozens of Orcs to the other side of their lives, and because of that, the Orcs’ eyes were focused on us.

Beyond the fallen orcs, people could be glimpsed alive.

That’s it. If there were people alive, the minimum goal could have been achieved anyway.

When I got close enough, the agent who lowered me to the ground started to fight again.

Well, the result was obvious.

Having slain the orcs and finally faced the living, we ran into an unexpected…or expected predicament before we could get any information from the survivors.

“Consider me an ally of the demon worshipers right now, and answer me docilely before burning them.”

Please stop your reckless fanaticism! We’ve been fine since we got here!

The survivors, who had already witnessed the orcs being torn apart with their bare hands, were terrified and looked at us similarly to the orcs.

“Rita-sama. Can you leave me here for a while?”

“We’re running out of time.”

Yes, time is not enough. If the slums were overflowing with people, I might have overlooked the fact that the agent would burn one or two people as examples…

But now the sun is setting, and this is the first time we’ve met people as we searched the slums.

Also, I don’t know when this situation happened.

There were already hundreds of burned corpses passing by, and hundreds of Orcs.

It’s unclear how long this back alley situation lasted.

What is the mental state of the survivors who would have survived there?

In order to save time here, killing one or two as an example could have caused a really unexpected problem.

“It’s a more necessary process because time is important.”

I couldn’t be talking about all this in front of the survivors, so I said that in hopes that the agent would understand.

The agent who was looking at me eventually sighed and took a step back.

“It looks like he said he would follow my lead. I don’t know which one is following.”

Oh, how shameful to compete with facts.

I smiled vaguely and approached a group of survivors who were still wary of us, who were in the position of saviors.

“Hello everyone. I apologize for my colleague’s words and actions. We are in a very urgent situation.”

Still alert, the party just quietly looked at me.

“Are you the one who lives here? Then we have a few questions we’d like to ask you, can you answer?”

“…who are you guys?”

As I continued to ask questions, I finally got an answer from one of the survivors.

I looked at the person asking the question.

He was a muscular man with scars on his face.

From nob le mt l. com

Looking around, most of the group were relieved when the man came forward, and it seemed that this man was in charge of the group’s leader.

“We are priests dispatched to solve the situation that is happening here right now.”

First of all, I tried to continue the conversation by accepting the other person’s question, but as soon as I said that, the hostility around me began to soar.

“Clerics…?”

“Did you hear? The priests…”

“Aren’t you here to kill us who are still alive?”

“The situation is also unfortunate. People who haven’t been able to see their noses for days appear just in time for the Orcs to kill them.”

Uh…I don’t like this atmosphere. Is this situation really related to the church?

“If you’re not going to talk for me, everyone please be quiet.”

The man who calmed down the quickly noisy hall looked at me again and asked.

“Did you say priest?”

“That’s right.”

It was clear that everyone was not happy with my words.

“Did you know that this division started because of the meat given by priests of the self-proclaimed Orion Church?”

When the man spat out the words of confirmation, I managed to catch my breath while secretly clenching my fists.

That man’s words sound like confirmation, but if you look closely, you can’t prove anything.

Of course, if devil worshipers did the work, it would be easier to impersonate the name of the church. Which would be more trustworthy, a suspicious person wearing a robe handing over meat or a person wearing holy clothes handing over meat?

“I think you’ve misunderstood something. What’s happening is the work of devil worshipers. They whisper lies and deceit in your ears.”

At my words, everyone started to be agitated.

“A demon… worshiper?”

Even the muscular man was clearly taken aback by the unexpected remark.

“Yes. All of this is the work of the devil worshipers. The people who changed after eating the meat they handed over were the ones who fell victim to the devil worshipers’ trick called corruption.”

“Is that true…?”

“After all, it’s more plausible that the devil worshipers were like that than the priests were like that…”

“Look, Orion-sama said he loved humans?”

“Then why did everyone leave us alone for so long?”

While everyone was being persuaded, someone made a noise like that.

“We did not neglect you. Until now, no one has noticed this situation. The fact that monsters have appeared in the slums.”

“How could that be?!”

The same voice I heard earlier came again. He’s just a guy who hates the world.

“We’d like to ask. Why didn’t you guys escape from here?”

“Are you asking because you don’t know that?”

“I know who didn’t do it because they didn’t want to escape!”

“There’s no escaping! No matter how hard you try to escape to the city block, you’ll end up spinning around in the same spot!”

Everyone’s clamor began to intensify.

“Did you come here without knowing that? Then you guys will be looking for it sooner or later!”

“If you don’t know how to get out, you’re in the same situation as us!”

Everyone seemed to think we couldn’t get them out of here, so the noise started to get louder.

That doesn’t mean the agent behind me can’t split you in half, so I don’t know why.

I sighed and looked at the agents, half to ask for help, half to stop tearing them apart right away.

And unexpectedly, instead of trying to tear the survivors apart, the agent had a serious expression on his face.

“Why is that?”

“Now that makes sense. I thought there would be some trick to keep the survivors, including the orcs, from going outside, but I thought it was strange that we didn’t meet up with other search teams as we continued to burn corpses.”

The agent nodded and continued, as if he had guessed something from the survivors’ words.

“It takes at least a magician to scatter the cognitive abilities of all sentient beings in this large area, making them hover in the same place and oblivious to abnormalities. It seems that the devil worshipers have prepared quite well.”

It’s a magician… that’s the opposite of a holy relic.

I tilted my head for a moment.

Then it means that we are within the scope of the magic field, but it means that we are not aware of it. Isn’t this a more dangerous situation than we thought?

“It’s more troublesome than I thought. It will be difficult to go outside, but on the contrary, it will be difficult to go to the area where the devil worshipers are located.”

Then it’s a real big deal!

“Hey, what’s wrong!”

“Calm down. If you keep behaving strangely, I will slash you! Wake up!”

While I was startled, I began to hear the voice of an urgent knight from one side.

“Uhhhhh…”

When I looked in the direction of the sound, I wondered if the patient who had been holding his breath was tearing his hair while trembling.

“The sound… the sound…”

“What the hell are you hearing?”

“This way, this way, this way!”

The change in the patient who suddenly started screaming like crazy was dramatic.

From the spot on his right shoulder, his skin began to turn green, and his right hand instantly began to turn into the orc he had seen before.

“That person is that monster!”

The group of survivors also fell into panic, and the moment the knights next to them pulled out their swords as if they had made a decision, the agent rushed at the patient and began to ask ferociously.

“Hey. Where is this side? Even if it changes, say it and change. Where is this side! If you have any faith left, answer me!”

Of course, there was no way the patient, who was slowly bubbling and going wild, could not answer meekly.

ha, that’s sh*t

From the time I came here, there were things I didn’t like.

Humans who ate spoiled meat and turned into monsters. People who want to eat even spoiled meat, people who steal meat, and people who don’t want to give a nice answer even after receiving help. The idea of helping the weak doesn’t exist at all. Even the same human being. Even though it is an emergency, the human being who is still doing political calculations and is sluggish.

Even the devil worshipers who plot things by using the habits of these humans. And the cultists who are running the forefront of incompetence without catching such devil worshipers.

Even myself who judges gain and weight among such people.

Anyway, humans are the problem. After thinking about it, if Orion is a human god, then Orion can’t be a decent guy either.

I approached a patient who was still being held by an agent and was agitated.

“It’s dangerous!”

If you’re so worried about me being dangerous, you don’t have to create an incident like this in the first place. There’s no reason for me to be doing this unless something like devil worshipers is rampant.

I ignored their words and started imbuing the patient with divine power.

“Kleukreuk…Kreuuu…”

The patient, who had been screaming and convulsing, gradually stopped the seizure and soon the mutated part slowly began to return to its human form.

The patient who finally returned to a normal human body without a single spot looked at me with both eyes wide open.

“Can you still hear the voice?”

“Oh, no. No.”

“Could you guide us in the direction the voice pointed you to?”

“Yes. Yes, of course. I can. Leave it to me.”

“Good for you.”

The hall was strangely quiet.

Now that the noise has subsided, I felt like I could live a little longer.

“I…”

“Why is that, Rita-sama?”

“That, the eyes…are mad…no, no.”

“If we don’t catch all the devil worshipers today, I’ll be angry then.”

“All right!”

“I will make sure that what you want comes true.”

Agents, knights, and even patients nodded and answered in a loud voice.

Why is everyone answering in such a stiff voice all of a sudden?

Relax. Relax. I’m not really mad?

I just got a little annoyed and then it subsided.

As I shifted my gaze from the party to the survivors, they all flinched and avoided my gaze.

No, who knows what catches and eats?
