"Hahahahaha......"

"Ozma......?"

"Kazan. Listen to me carefully. We're the best people in the world, aren't we?"

“......”

"I don't want to let these two people die like this. ”

"Yes...... What is the plan?"

"Huhuhu...... Thou art the god of destruction. And I will be the Ghost God of Chaos. ”

"Investigate ...... What the hell is going on?"

Just then, the cage suddenly opened, and several guards rushed in to try to take Kazan away. Ozma hurriedly shouted:

"Kazan, my friend, remember, it's not over yet, you must live, I will definitely go to you!"

Kazan was taken away by the soldiers, and in the process, he kept smiling at Ozma. Is this a trust in Ozma's words, or a mockery of a friend's sad farewell? Ozma is no longer visible, and we have no way of knowing it after 800 years.

......

After that, Kazan was exiled to the Rustru Mountains, and Ozma was abandoned to the southern coast. There, Ozma readily accepted the offer to come back to find his Grim Reaper, selling his soul in exchange for the power of evil, turning Kazan into the god of destruction. It turned into a ghost and wandered the world. Since then, people with Kazan syndrome have appeared in various parts of the mainland. ”

Paladin's patriarch of the Roshbach family, Archbishop Margelo Roschbach reminisces as he lovingly recounts the old story to his granddaughter Obeth, who is resting on his lap.

"Did you learn the rest in school? Ozma turned humans into pretenders, known in history as the Curse of Blood. As a result, humans are suspicious of each other, and chaos grows. It was in this predicament that the ancestor Michelle, who had received divine revelation, was sent to the mortal world. Under his organization, the clergy were created, and we have the ability to fight the pretenders. ”

Margello's warm hand caressed his granddaughter's hair.

"Finally, under the leadership of Patriarch Michel, we priests have fought a great battle against the Pretender Legion in the Black Lands. There, we humans finally succeeded in banishing Ozma to other planes. What's the name of that battle, Orbes?"

"Dark Holy War!"

"That's right. It's the 'Dark Holy War', but although Ozma has been sealed away on another plane, he is definitely still alive. We don't know when he'll come back and attack the world. And there are still many pretenders hidden in the world, so we priests still have a meaning to exist. Got it, Orbes?"

"Yes. But ah, grandpa?"

The young girl looked at Margello with watery eyes.

"Wasn't Ozma originally a good guy too?"

"yes. Ozma was the strongest magician who saved the world with Kazan back then. ”

"Hmm...... Then if he knew that the bad guys who bullied him back then were all dead, and now the rest of the world are gentle and good people like grandparents, wouldn't he regain his conscience?"

"Hahaha...... What a strange child. Yes, isn't it true that 'at the beginning of man, nature is good'? My lovely granddaughter is more advanced than the stubborn patriarchs of the clergy! ”

"But Grandpa, be careful. He may not listen to you. ”

"Yes, yes. You're so smart. That's smart. It seems that I don't need to worry about you for the rest of my life. ”

But does her adorable granddaughter really recognize the dangers of her future path? Margello can't always smile without security. It would be nice if this era of peace could last forever. Hopefully, before I close my eyes forever, there will be true peace in this world, and there will be no need for us priesthood again. I hope that my smart and beautiful Obes can live in such a world and experience ordinary and precious happiness......

—In the Great Chapel of Lemidia Basilica, 996 Arad

"Are you calling us?"

In the large chapel, where only the archbishop stood, two young and sturdy men and women entered. Both were wearing heavy armor. The male's overwhelming physique and commensurate dark armor give a heavy sense of oppression, while the bright white armor worn by the female is as light as a feather under her slender figure.

"May the blessing of the Holy Spirit be with you. ”

"May the blessing of the Holy Spirit be with you. After greeting each other respectfully, Archbishop Margello said:

"O children of the victors who directed the dark crusade. You follow your will and devote yourself to the cause of punishing the pretenders. It is because of you that the Dark Holy War is won, and I believe that the harm of the Pretenders has been reduced because of your efforts......"

"However, the frequent shifts that are now taking place throughout the Arad continent seem to have caused a rift in time and space. Ozma, who was sealed in another time and space, seems to have begun to use its power to influence the world again. We have received reports of an increase in pretenders from all over the world. And this time, it seems that the demons directly related to Ozma have also appeared on the mainland......"

"Oh, Ozma......!"

Orbes exclaimed in a low voice inadvertently. Teda Bednar, however, let out a meaningless chuckle.

"I have come to you to convey the meaning of our patriarchs. ”

Margello paused for a moment and spoke:

"This is the time for us to reappear. In the world, there have been a large number of powerful warriors who have been called adventurers. The clergy patriarchs, including me, believe that the time has come to gather the power of purification in order to find out what is happening in Ozma. ”

Thinking that he was waiting for Margello's words, Teda immediately answered

"Uh-huh...... I've been waiting for you for a long time, Your Excellency. I'm tired of the errand of finding weak pretenders. ”

This guy is too far from a true cleric. Thinking so, Obes said sharply:

"You're more loyal to your abusive instincts than to purify the world, Teda. ”

"Obes...... Do you want to convince me that I should find a way to help the fallen pretenders regain their humanity? Ha ha. ”

"If there was a way to convince me, I would do it. ”

"Hahaha. You're a weirdo who's going to spend your whole life thinking uselessly. Or is that what makes you attractive? ha!"
