“Cough! Hack, hack!”

Behemoth, coughing up blood, created distance with teleportation. And then, she stumbled and tried to run away, but collapsed after just a few steps. Her entire body was covered in wounds.

I slowly walked forward.

Step-

My shoes made a sound as they stepped between the torn red carpet. Her wounded body flinched.

Behemoth looked up at me with a face that was a mixture of fear and desperation.

“Y-you, what are you! Are you an Inquisitor? Who are you to do this to me…!”

“The Inquisitor is somewhere else. I’m not even from the Holy Kingdom. If anything, I’m from the Empire.”

I took another step forward.

Eek!

Behemoth, letting out a shriek, scrambled to her feet. Her right hand, holding the whip, trembled.

It made me feel like I was the villain. If you just looked at this scene, I was a dark stranger harassing an innocent woman.

“My head hurts from that disgusting smell of divine power, and you’re saying you’re not from the Holy Kingdom? Are you mocking me?”

That disgusting smell of divine power, huh. I couldn’t pinpoint what that meant, but it probably referred to the blessing that the Popes had given me.

It was something that didn’t appear in the game, so I didn’t know what the exact effect of that blessing was. But it was probably something good. I doubted the Popes would have given me a debuff.

Behemoth had an incredibly wronged expression. She probably felt wronged. She had encountered me right after being resurrected. She was truly unlucky.

Of course, I didn’t feel any sympathy for her, since she would have done demonic things if I had left her alone. If I hadn’t been here, this city would have been finished.

“Grrr! Die! Die!”

Along with a gritting sound, the whip flew towards me. I carefully observed her movements, and then quickly rolled forward right before the whip reached me.

The whip struck the spot where I had just been standing. I adjusted my posture and waited for the next pattern.

If it was a multi-hit, I would deflect it, if it was a grab, I would dodge it, and if it was neither, it was an opening.

Behemoth retrieved the whip. It seemed to be a simple long-range poke. That meant that it was a good opportunity to land a hit.

I quickly closed the distance, grabbed Wingless Nightmare with both hands, and raised it above my head. The blade started to glow on its own.

It was the special ability of Wingless Nightmare in its holy attribute state.

If you timed it correctly, you could secure enough time to use this special ability right after Behemoth used a long-range poke. It was a fact that had been proven by countless users.

And since she was only slightly bigger than a human, there weren’t any patterns where she had super armor, so I could also land a hit with the special ability and escape while she was staggered.

A brilliant radiance erupted from Wingless Nightmare. Light that was as bright as a small sun illuminated every corner of the boss room.

A faint moonlight mixed in with the brilliant sunlight. The white light and silver light mixed together and swirled violently. The entire sword turned white.

Even though an intense halo of light that was large enough to cover up to the back of my elbows was right above my head, my eyes weren’t blinded at all.

Conversely, Behemoth was covering her face and letting out painful groans. She hadn’t done that in the game even when I used the special ability.

I pushed aside the question and swung my arm.

—Kaboom!

Along with a tremendous roar, holy light descended from the sky.

Behemoth’s head slammed into the ground. A white light that had erupted momentarily dyed the surroundings white.

It was such an intense light that I reflexively covered my eyes even though they weren’t blinded at all.

The halo of light disappeared in less than a second. And then, Behemoth’s form was revealed. She was lying face down on the ground without making a sound.

‘……Huh?’

I looked back and forth between Wingless Nightmare in my hand, Behemoth who had slammed her head into the ground, and the ceiling of the mansion that had a hole bigger than my height, with bewildered eyes.

I could clearly see the blue sky through the almost completely destroyed ceiling. Even the clouds had been caught in the crossfire, as a part of them had cleanly evaporated.

Bright sunlight poured into the room, illuminating us both.

‘What the, what is this? Why is it so strong?’

It was a level of power that even I, a player, was surprised by.

When I saw it on the monitor, it was just a white pillar of light descending from outside the screen. The ceiling had never been destroyed when I used it indoors.

But it was different now. The clouds had been torn apart as if the light had really started from the sky, and the ceiling of the mansion had been destroyed.

‘No, what kind of weapon did that woman make?’

I wondered how someone who had no connection to the Holy Kingdom could make a weapon with this kind of power. Even in the Holy Kingdom, there wouldn’t be many weapons with this kind of power.

Did she receive a revelation from God or something?

“Gasp… gasp…”

A desperate gasp escaped Behemoth’s lips.

The hair below her shoulders had been burned off, turning into a bob, and the remaining parts had been scorched black, completely changing its color.

Her entire body was almost gray. It was a severe burn that covered all of the cuts I had made. It was still unbelievable.

I swung Wingless Nightmare in the air a few times. I wondered if I had really done that. I had just expected to hurt her a little.

I hadn’t expected to burn Behemoth alive like this, destroy the ceiling of the mansion, and summon a pillar of light that was strong enough to pierce a hole in the sky.

“You… y-you…”

Behemoth, who had only been wriggling with her head buried in the ground, raised her head. Her face started to melt.

‘Ah.’

I came to my senses as soon as I saw that.

I could think about what was going on after I completely dealt with Behemoth. Dealing with her was my priority right now.

Behemoth, seeing me walking towards her, gripping Wingless Nightmare, tried to wriggle away, but it was a futile action since her body was so badly damaged.

“No! Don’t come! I don’t want to!”

A weak scream escaped her lips. Her voice was cracking in real time. A disgusting metallic sound mixed in with her sweet voice.

I ignored her and approached her. Her words became fragmented as her melted skin covered her mouth.

“How… in the human world…”

The speed at which her face was collapsing increased. Her skin, which had been a light pink like a ripe peach, gradually turned dark.

“It’s time to show you your true form.”

“…….”

I raised Wingless Nightmare, aiming for Behemoth’s neck. The blade, which was split in half with gold and silver, shone brilliantly in the sunlight.

Behemoth, seeing that, made one last struggle. I could see sharp fangs protruding from her open lips. The blood flowing from her body gradually turned black.

I swung Wingless Nightmare down.

Slice-!

Her neck was cut off so easily. It was me who was bewildered.

It wasn’t easy to cut off even a human’s neck in one swing, so how could I cut off a demon’s neck, which was fundamentally dozens, hundreds of times stronger than a human?

But I had cut it off without much effort, as if I was cutting a cake with a knife.

‘Is it because of the divine power?’

Maybe it was because of the divine power that resided in Wingless Nightmare. I wasn’t sure, but…

Roll-

The head that had been separated from the body rolled towards me. I kicked it back. The head landed next to the body. Its eyes were wide open.

Suddenly, its appearance started to change.

The absurdly large breasts, the impossibly thin waist, and the plump thighs disappeared, and various parts of its body swelled up.

Its skin was torn apart in a grotesque manner. It was skin that gave off a similar feeling to crocodile skin. But it was much more grotesque than crocodile skin.

Its physique wasn’t an exception either. The figure that had boasted an unrealistic volume changed into a figure that boasted an unrealistic volume in a different sense.

The appearance that looked like it had been taken from an erotic game disappeared, and an appearance that looked like a pig that had been bloated in water for several days appeared.

Its head was similar.

The beautiful face that would have been considered beautiful even in this world where women’s appearances had been greatly enhanced was gone, and it had turned into a goat’s head with a strange color.

“Ugh.”

I frowned deeply. It was much worse than I had expected. In the game, it had just been ugly, but here, it was unpleasant to even look at.

‘Helga’s charm must have been lifted, right?’

I diverted my thoughts. Since Behemoth was dead, the charm that had been placed on Helga must have been lifted.

Now all that was left was to have my purity verified by the Inquisitor and Interrogator of the Holy Kingdom, who would definitely come here after hearing the news that a demon had descended.

I would be fine, but Helga and the regular members might be ‘saved’ if they were unlucky, with them saying that their souls had been taken by a demon.

Even I couldn’t stop that.

—Creak…

Suddenly, the door opened very carefully. I could feel a presence from beyond the door.

‘Is it Helga?’

It seemed that the charm had been lifted. If she had regained her senses, she would have been able to easily untie the knot.

“Helga, are you alright— huh?”

I turned around, looking for Helga, and then I stopped after seeing an unexpected person.

The person who had opened the door and entered, just like me, seemed to be surprised to see me here and froze in place.

We stood there, frozen, facing each other for a long time. After a long while, she finally spoke.

“……Distinguished guest?”

The person who had opened the door was Stella. And she was completely dumbfounded.
