The voice coming through the crack in the door had no tremor.

The nun’s gently burning faith was spreading to all the citizens of Batian.

“Madame? What’s wrong?”

“Is there a problem?”

The members of the Chokugen Faction, who were hesitating in front of me, looked like dogs on a leash, eager to run out for a walk right away.

The woman who seemed to be their owner, wearing a black dress with a parasol on her shoulder, didn’t say anything.

‘So that woman is the madame.’

I remembered when Prince Oliver asked their boss about the madame’s whereabouts while testing me, and later, Sen and Rin explained that there was an exceptionally strong person even among the Chokugen Faction.

For the sake of the mission and for the sake of the Chokugen Faction members who had become crippled, the madame should have rushed at me right now.

She had more than enough cause.

In the first place, what would those guys, who made money their justification for everything, care about?

If you just stuffed a few coins into their pockets, they would cut people’s throats without a second thought.

While sitting and yawning, my eyes met the madame’s.

I asked with a slight smile when she would come in, but instead, the madame faltered at my provocation and unknowingly stepped back.

“Madame?”

“You’re acting really strange today!”

Naturally, the Chokugen Faction members, who were sensitive to even small gestures, looked at the madame strangely, but I honestly admired her.

“Your senses are good.”

Perhaps not expecting me to open my mouth, the gazes of all the Chokugen Faction members pierced into me like arrows.

But more than those countless gazes, I was looking at the madame.

That woman knew.

Here and now, no one could open this door I was leaning against.

If they rushed in, they would all die.

‘I won’t bother making them crippled anymore.’

When I attacked them in the hotel where Prince Oliver was hiding, I crippled most of the members of the Chokugen Faction.

Because I was convinced that it would be a pain worse than death for them.

Their bodies were the result of enduring drugs and inhumane training for a lifetime.

But they couldn’t use it just because some part of their body was damaged overnight.

I thought it would be inconvenient for the Chokugen Faction to deal with them.

But later, when I checked, I heard they were all dead.

And all of them had wounds from the same dagger.

Sen, who carefully examined the wounds, determined that it was the madame’s doing.

Only the madame used a butterfly-shaped dagger.

In the end, they all died.

The Chokugen Faction had sentenced its useless members to death without a moment’s hesitation.

“Haa, I will open the way first!”

Eventually, one of the Chokugen Faction members, impatient, rushed at me without the madame’s order.

He quickly slammed his hand down towards me, who was sitting with a dagger drawn.

But by slightly spreading my legs, I could easily dodge his dagger, and his face was laid out in front of me like a lavish meal.

“Huh?”

I grabbed the surprised guy’s hair and slammed his head onto the floor.

It was the moment when another entry to the history made of blood was piled up on the white marble floor imbued with the history and tradition of the cathedral.

Kwak! Kwak! Kwak!

I didn’t stop crushing his head, and eventually, the guy passed away to the afterlife, not just crippled.

“Ugh.”

Slowly getting up, I smirked at the guys who were now growling like dogs with their leashes off.

“This time, I’ll definitely kill you. If you’re going to die anyway even if I make you crippled, I’ll send you off cleanly with one shot.”

Wouldn’t that be more convenient for you Chokugen Faction too?

“But there’s one fortunate thing for you.”

Along with the pleasant sound of a sword drawing, a nun’s voice was heard.

The month I spent in Batian was truly a valuable time for me.

It felt like I had fallen to the bottom of an abyss, and I cried out to God, asking why He gave me such trials.

“Is it that you get to die in the place closest to God? Who knows, maybe even assassin scum like you might get to meet the god of recycling for a moment?”

“You bastard!”

A Chokugen Faction member rushed at me in excitement.

Sorry, but I’ve already seen this at the hotel.

It was easy if I thought of Sen.

The Chokugen Faction members, who suppressed their emotions through drugs and training, got angry and charged at me after just a few words?

That would never happen.

They were pretending to be angry.

The guy approaching me from the front, spewing murderous intent, was a distraction.

He was making exaggerated movements to make me focus on him.

“I can see right through the guy hiding behind you.”

Because I sensed by his presence that there was a man hiding behind him, running silently with his murderous intent suppressed.

Kwaduk!

The sound of a sword twisting into someone’s ribs was heard.

The important thing was that my sword had already pierced one person, but it stabbed something else once more.

My sword, which had pierced the abdomen of the man in front, had cut off the head of the member who had been crouching behind him, and a face with a white hood was rolling on the floor behind him.

But the other members, as if proving they weren’t part of the Chokugen Faction for nothing, pressured me with an organized pattern without any change in emotion even at the death of their comrade.

“You think you’ve cornered me because I’m leaning against the door?”

They had judged that their anger and distraction tactic wouldn’t work and remained silent, but their brilliant movements were still first-class.

It looked like they were moving randomly, like stones thrown by children into a river, but in fact, all of it was the result of training.

Since I had always fought alone, it was the first time I had seen so many people move in such a well-coordinated and high-level manner.

You may have experienced it too.

You cry, kneel, and scream out to God.

Asking why He gave you such trials, why He abandoned you.

I gave a simple piece of advice to the Chokugen Faction members rushing in.

“Being cornered means that there’s one less direction from which you can attack me.”

Of course, they wouldn’t be unaware of that either.

They would have judged that it was more important to block their opponent’s movements even while reducing the possible directions of attack.

Kwaduk! Kwaduk!

Unfortunately, that was a failed judgment.

No, I felt it would be rude to use the word failure for them.

It was a fight they couldn’t win, so there couldn’t be failure either.

It was just an inevitable result without any choice that couldn’t be divided into success and failure.

I felt like I had become a typhoon.

I was just moving, but the Chokugen Faction members were rushing towards me endlessly like a typhoon accompanied by crops, beasts, people, and buildings.

And they died.

The entire corridor, starting from the door of the chapel, had already become a bloody mess.

I know.

You must be feeling resentful and indignant.

You must be wondering if this is really God’s will.

I’m sorry, I’m too lacking to understand all of God’s intentions and give you that answer.

Then…

A purple butterfly bloomed amidst the red background.

The butterfly flew among the Chokugen Faction members and headed straight for my heart.

Kwaduk.

Without hesitation, I snatched that butterfly.

It cut my hand causing blood to drip down, but it wasn’t much of a problem.

“So this is that dagger.”

I wondered how it moved, but upon inspecting it I found out it was a unique dagger that flapped its wings using the madame’s mana as its power source.

As someone who couldn’t flexibly handle mana, it was a weapon I could never wield and would simply use as a room decoration at best.

“Impressive.”

As the madame’s participation was confirmed, the remaining Chokugen Faction members immediately retreated.

Nevertheless, I will cry with you.

Because I have also experienced such pain, I will pray together with you.

Although I cannot give you the answer, I will search for that answer together with you.

Dozens of butterflies flew behind the madame, who stretched out her hand with a gloomy expression.

My eyes widened, not expecting her to be able to handle so many daggers.

The butterflies, as if guarding the madame with the parasol, began to fly towards me with brilliant movements, and in sync with that, the members also charged again, riding the momentum.

Crack.

Wounds slowly began to form on my body that had been clean until just now.

As long cuts were drawn on my shoulders, cheeks, thighs, etc., the members put a little more strength into the swords they were holding.

They were accumulating damage on me, who had been like an impregnable fortress.

If this continued, they might have hope that they, with their greater numbers, could win.

“Oh dear.”

Honestly, I was perplexed.

The madame’s butterflies kept pressuring and attacking me, constantly moving in unexpected directions.

Moreover, since there were many of them, if my gaze was carelessly focused on one side, they would immediately strike from the opposite side.

Amidst the continuously accumulating damage…

I finally made a decision.

“Ah, this won’t do.”

Biting the sword in my mouth, I grabbed two corpses sprawled on the floor with both hands and threw them at the members.

The members naturally had no choice but to step back, and I took that opportunity to step on the door and charge straight through the Chokugen Faction.

The butterflies gathered in one place and tried to block me, but in the end, they were butterflies.

They fell to the floor with a thud from a single heavy swing of my sword, failing to protect their owner.

My sword pierced the madame’s chest refreshingly as there was no hesitation in me.

“I was trying to fight in that spot as much as possible in case you crossed the chapel door, but you’re definitely a bit tricky.”

“……”

I naturally thought she would say something, but the madame was rather calm.

She was accepting this situation as if it were an obvious outcome.

“Hm? You knew you would die?”

“Why……”

The madame slowly knelt down and gave me a self-mocking smile.

Her eyes held not Daniel McLean standing there now, but her own commander.

‘I know Sen is there. But never approach the side of Elgrid where the academy is located.’

At that time, she didn’t understand why he said that.

Especially when Sen the traitor was still openly attending the academy and they were not seeking revenge.

It was an act no different from humiliation for the Chokugen Faction.

But the madame could understand now.

It wasn’t about Sen.

It wasn’t that there was a problem with the academy itself either.

It was because of this man in front of her.

Because of this monster……

The madame’s hand slowly fell.

Was it because of the clothes she was wearing, the parasol on her shoulder, and the veil covering her face?

Like an actor receiving applause and exiting the stage…

That was how she closed her eyes.
