“As expected of you, Zandriel!” The priest, who appeared to be the leader, praised.
Everything happened very quickly, but everyone present could see correctly what happened. Zandriel attacked the maid who had oriental characteristics. She didn’t have time to react and only managed to defend lightly with some kind of shadow power.
Kaguya recoiled a little as she looked down at her stomach that had a deep cut. “Ah, my uniform was damaged…” She looked at the man with her blood red eyes.
A frightening pressure began to leave her body, “How embarrassing.” How could a perfect maid be hurt by an insect?
As expected, she still had a lot to improve upon before becoming a perfect maid.
The man pointed his two swords at Kaguya, “Demons must be punished for the crimes they’ve committed against humanity! As a chosen instrument of God, I stand in front of these abominations! AMEN!”
“Ugh, he talks so loud.” Kaguya was disgusted with this man.
The man’s two swords seemed to be taking on a new shape thanks to the power he was pouring out of his body.
The man’s body was covered in a golden glow. After repositioning himself, he once again leaped towards Kaguya:
“Maria, do your job, take care of the worms.” Kaguya’s appearance began to darken as if covered by darkness, and soon she disappeared.
“…Very Well.” Maria looked at the men.
“…?” The man stopped running and looked around, but before he could react,
A woman stepped out of the shadows of the ceiling and slit his throat, “I was never a warrior. I’m an Assassin.”
Cough.
The man coughed blood on the floor and appeared to be choking on his own blood. ‘Ahh~, am I going to heaven today?’ He thought with a smile on his face.
“Zandriel!” One of the Priests men yelled in concern.
“… This power, it’s from that Clan… Why is someone related to Clan Snow here?” The mercenary werewolf spoke and felt something was very wrong.
“I know you, Father.” The woman looked at the man who seemed to be commanding them all.
“Oh?” The priest looked at the maid.
“Father Julian, responsible for eliminating several communities of vampires. You’re a very devoted hunter who is always willing to accept any mission to exterminate the ‘demons’. You are well known.”
Maria cracked her neck a little, and then she made gestures with her hands, “I’ll be honest, I didn’t recognize you, but… When I saw that man, I remembered you.”
“Rumors say that Father Julián always walked with his companion who was called Zandriel. Yet, despite having an angel’s name, he was as mad as a devil.”
“How rude… My friend is not crazy, he is normal.”
“Look.” He pointed to Zandriel, who had his throat slit.
Suddenly, a golden power appeared on his neck and began to heal his wound at high speed.
“God still hasn’t allowed me to enter paradise! I must eliminate sinners!” The man turned his face to Kaguya.
“Tsk, annoying insect.” Kaguya entered the shadows again.
“See? He is a rational man.”
“…” Maria and the wolf were silent; they wanted to know what the Father considered as a rational man.
“I know you too, Maria.” The man suddenly made a high-speed hand movement, and several wires were quickly cut.
“I know your tricks.”
“…” Maria flashed a scary smile, “You know my tricks, but what about your subordinates?”
“Fuck.” The priest looked back and saw his subordinates with barely visible threads strewn across their bodies.
Maria suddenly made a movement with her hands, “They’re all already trapped in my webs.”
Julian attacked Maria’s wires, but the moment he hit them, a red power countered his holy golden power.
“Tsk.”
“Mercenary, do something!” he ordered
“I…-” The mercenary would have done something, but suddenly they heard.
“It’s too late.”
Maria started walking towards the group, made a slight gesture, and slowly a red power began to cover the threads.
“Father, help us!”
“I can’t move!”
“My power doesn’t work!”
“Father Julian!”
The hunters’ screams filled Maria’s heart with sadistic pleasure:
“You called me a creature from hell, correct?” Maria’s eyes slowly started to turn blood red as her face took on a paler appearance than usual and seemed to have taken on some black cracks.
“…”
“You weren’t wrong. My only thought right now is to eat you all, and you seem to be very appetizing…” A little drool started to fall from Maria’s mouth.
“Oops, how rude.” She wiped the drool that was falling from her mouth.
“What are you…?”
She smiled and said:
“The maid.”
With a flick of her wrist, all the hunters that were trapped in her threads were torn and severed, slumping off in various directions.
Pieces of meat began to fall from the bodies of the ancient hunters.
“…You will pay for this, do you know how difficult it is to find good subordinates?” He looked at Maria with a slightly annoyed look.
“Curious. You don’t look very angry.”
“Despite being killed by a demon, they will meet God in paradise, they are lucky.” Julian smiled as if it were natural.
“…” Maria was wondering if she was like this in the past. She vaguely remembered that she was more focused on herself than the goal of the church. After all, she just wanted to get money to live a good life.
‘Tsk, even my memories are getting hazy.’ Maria was afraid of that. She was afraid of slowly forgetting who she was, and in the end, just becoming an empty shell.
She looked at the hunters’ bodies; ‘Maybe more nutritious bodies are better.’
“Let’s stop kidding, you have to die before Clan Fulger’s heiress returns.” Julian cracked his neck a little, appearing as though he were getting ready to fight.
He opened his mouth and spoke in an ephemeral tone as if he were praying:
“As God has blessed us humans with free will, it is a sign that we are his chosen! We must become his tool of judgment!” The man pulled the crucifix from around his neck, and soon a great sword of golden energy was created.
Although his prayer was very questionable.
“A combatant, huh?” Maria made an annoyed face.
“I will judge you, Demon!” The man lunged towards her.
Combatants were hunters who used their energy more obviously. They created weapons of power that could be used easily, and these types of hunters were the most problematic for Maria; after all, they could cut her wires with relative ease…
‘That would happen if I fought you in the past, now…’ Maria’s red threads began to swirl around her as if they were alive; ‘My power is stronger.’
It took six months of training, but she managed to figure out a way to use her powers the same way back when she was a hunter.
She gathered several wires in front of her and defended against Julian’s attack!
Tink!
The sound of metal clattering was heard all around.
The man backed away and attacked Maria again.
“It’s useless. In combat indoors, I’m invincible.” Maria made a few gestures with her hand.
Julian quickly defended against Maria’s strings that were coming at him at difficult angles, “Tsk, annoying power.”
“I’ve only just started.” Maria held both hands up.
“…?” Julian didn’t understand what was happening, but when he felt something coming over him, he quickly retreated away once again.
He looked at the jumble of wires that had a distorted shape, appearing like a demon.
“What is that!?”
“Secret.” The strands suddenly fell apart and zoomed towards Julian.
Julian attempted to use his sword to defend against Maria’s attack like he had done previously. However, this time he couldn’t defend completely.
Maria’s wires were very flexible, and she could easily change the direction of her attacks anytime she wanted.
“Fuck.” Julian yelled angrily as he felt his shoulder being pierced by Maria’s wires.
“You have quite the foul mouth for a priest.” Maria flashed a disdainful smile.
“Fuck you, Bitch!”
“… Let’s teach this evil boy some lessons on proper behavior.” She wore a sadistic smile.
She grasped her strands in both hands and began using them like a whips.
“What~.” Julian couldn’t defend himself, and then his entire body was covered in deep red lines.
Fuushhhhhh! Fusshhhhhhh!
For a few seconds, the wires made a noise as if they were breaking the air as red blood began to ooze from Julian’s body.
And seeing this sight, Maria’s smile only grew.
“AHHHH!” He cried out in pain, however unlike normal pain, the sensation of having his skin being split open seemed to be much more painful.
“If it goes on like this, it will never end.”
“God…-?” He was going to say something, but suddenly his mouth was abruptly covered by Maria’s wires.
“I know very well how fighting hunters works.”
The priest’s face seemed to wear an expression of disdain, and soon his entire body was covered with golden power.
The power seemed to be acting like armor, allowing the man to take the strands from his body and break them all.
“Fool, prayer to God is much more than words.” He tapped his chest in the heart area and said, “Faith comes from something deeper, faith comes from the heart, I don’t need words.”
“… You are a fanatic.”
“Wrong! I am a believer!” The man roared.
The man suddenly disappeared and appeared in front of Maria:
“Fuck-.” Maria quickly used her wires to defend herself, but the attack she’d been expecting didn’t come.
“I know where Carlos is.” Julian suddenly spoke in a low voice.
“!!!” Maria opened her eyes wide.
“Keep silent if you want to know this information. If you don’t want to know about Carlos’ whereabouts, keep fighting.”
“…” Maria bit her lip while looking like she was about to make a very important decision.
Internally, she still cared for Carlos. But because of what she had become, she was slowly forgetting her memories of her beloved, and she needed to find him once more.
“…” Maria continued in silence.
“… Nice answer. The man known as Carlos, he is at address XxXxXx.”
Maria looked at the man with a suspicious look, “Why did you tell me this?”
“It was a request from the man himself: ‘If you find Maria. Please tell her to find me.'”
“I’m just following orders from my superior.” Julian suddenly kicked Maria in the stomach.
The woman flew towards the mansion wall.
‘Fulfilling orders? Carlos climbed the chain of command? What is happening?’ Maria didn’t mind her stomach getting kicked since she had a lot going through her head.
“… Well, this is giving my mouth a bad taste, but it’s not like it’s anything new.” The wolf backed away from the conflict and leaned against the mansion wall.
Soon, he closed his eyes and waited. His job was simple, and everything else was just extras, and, if possible, he didn’t want to do useless work.
It was just a waste of time, and he was not going to make money doing extra work.
“Tsk, why are you so tough? Are you really a human?”
“Of course! I am a human blessed by God! Now die!”
Hearing Kaguya and Zandriel’s voices, the man looked at their conflict.
Zandriel’s entire body was covered in wounds, but those wounds were healing at a very high rate.
‘I’ve never heard of a human with such high regeneration power… I feel like I’m fighting a vampire.’ Kaguya quickly returned to the shadows.
“Zandriel! Are you still playing around!?” Julian yelled angrily:
“Kill the woman fast!”
“She is very slippery!”
“Stop making excuses!
“Tsk, fine.”
Fushhhhhhhh
A massive golden power began to come out of the man’s body while he looked into the shadows and said:
“Give me the power of purification, I will take the devil’s souls to paradise!”
“In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit…” He raised both swords upward, and with a mighty swing, he shouted, “AMEN!!”
