Boom————————。

At an altitude of 45 kilometers above the ground, a powerful hurricane destroys everything that comes close to it.

Here, even the most experienced pilots did not dare to approach easily.

It is a place where even the various associations of powerful magicians, the latest flying machines, and the superpowers of the academy are basically inaccessible to any of them.

And now, it seems to have welcomed a guest.

In Rome, it's noon.

It's summer, the closest time of year for the Sun to Earth.

The scorching heat has scorched almost every living creature in this land, and the water source is close to exhaustion.

But even on such days, there are still many people who come out of their homes where they should be sheltering from the heat.

There are different identities, both men and women, even old and weak.

On the streets, alleys, ditches, and sewers, people are constantly coming out of the noon when they should be sheltering from the heat.

Moving in the same direction, towards the same goal.

The very center of Rome.

The headquarters of the Roman Orthodox Church and a splendid cathedral.

In this world, in the world of fantasy.

In the name of acting on behalf of God, the Roman Orthodox Church has set up the base points of temples in various places, except for the surrounding area of the academy city, which has been denounced as a heretical place, covering almost half the world and counting the subjects of faith in 113 countries.

And the main part of Rome is one of the few places where it is blessed by the grace of the gods.

Here, magic is mysterious and well known.

Here, demons exist and are hated by men.

Here, people wholeheartedly believe in and are willing to give their lives to the so-called all-knowing, all-powerful, world-creating 'God'.

Today, however, all of that is coming to an end.

Just like the posture it originally existed.

Because.

"Because, I'm here. ”

A thin whisper really doesn't seem to come out in a tone that humans can imagine.

It's something like something delicate that brings fear in the dark.

Then!

The slender arms climbed the rock, and the arms that were too slender on the comfortable modern man were covered and devoured by something that was squirming wildly.

The dim, dark, lightless environment underground, also shimmered with a little fluorescence from this whisper.

But it was not the cold light of the underground plants that followed nature, but the red eyes.

With a visible coldness, the scarlet of the hunt!

"As a condolence to my dear compatriots, let me have a good meal. ”

Then the arms and the rest of the torso appeared. A delicate and very hormone-inducing body.

However, the premise is to ignore the tens of thousands of small black dots that are gnawing and eating away on it.

But she didn't mind, and raised her arm slightly, and pressed her fingertips a little against the crust of earth that lay underground but above her head. The black dots seemed to feel something crazy leaving, revealing white skin and a little bit of their bare hands.

And the tip of the finger that touched the inner side of the earth's crust quietly overflowed with a desperate aura.

The owner of the voice couldn't help but chuckle, and the corners of his mouth outlined an arc. The small lips that are perfect without modification protrude a thin tongue with obvious segments.

"And as the afterglow of its climax, the more dim sum the first meal, the better!"

This may be the beginning of a catastrophe that can be foreseen as the source of the power on which tens of thousands of wailing spirits will be transformed into it, the ancestor of the serpent, Jeager, who descended into this realm.

And in the face of this future, the heartland is still unknown.

Now.

It caused the greatest upheaval in the history of Roman Orthodoxy.

If anyone had said that the center of Roman Orthodoxy had been destroyed before this day, St. Peter's Basilica at the cathedral level, would have been destroyed. If you don't get it, you will be sent to the square to hold a purification ceremony under the auspices of the priest.

But now it's different, because the reality is so shocking.

In the beginning, it was just a collection of dark creatures that could be said to be weak.

'A huge number of ordinary citizens were controlled by some dark force to attack St. Peter's Basilica' - this is what it is assumed.

Then, after the dark aura was expelled under the influence of the priests who came, the nightmare began!

The citizens who were carried to the interior of the church were suddenly transformed when they were baptized with a deeper holy water, and their bodies swelled and turned into countless poisonous snakes that fell to the ground, frantically attacking the nuns and priests who were in service.

Then, far more infected people appeared outside the church than this time, mutating into snake-like monsters.

They spray venom and attack with claws containing deadly toxins, and it took the Bishop to gather the Knights to resist and retreat outside the church.

And now, I'm afraid, it's time for the fall as well.

"Ah~, Lord, have you abandoned us?"

Gazing, trembling, and finally involuntarily kneeling down and trembling lips to tell the noble name.

In front of me, a huge snake body is wreaking havoc.

It had become a far more terrifying existence than the monsters that the knights and warriors who stood in front of it at the moment.

The massive serpent body easily destroyed the buildings around the temple and slammed into the shimmering and crumbling Divine Barrier.

The light flickered and dimmed, and the reassuring divine aura faded away.

"Orus, don't hurry up and maintain the barrier! The Hymn is ready. The Pope is coming soon!"

Thinking of this, it was as if Aulus had rediscovered his faith in the Lord.

It's not yet time for utter despair, and there is still the Song Corps, and the Holy Son, the Holy Maiden, and even the Pope!

The light of the Divine Barrier trembled, and finally slowly became transparent to nothing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But neither Aulus nor the other church members had any hopeless and pessimistic thoughts at this moment. Because, right now, that's where the light comes!

The psalms-like prayers and prayers that are psalms are really like singing.

Beauty, hope, is like the combination of all this, the goodness and beauty of the world.

The divine light shone brightly.

"Drink!"

"This body is a gift from the Lord, indestructible and irresistible, a wall of believers cast on the earth, and a sublime testimony of fearlessness and wickedness!"

The fearless oath of the tall Crusader knights standing ahead! The power of the words grew higher and brighter in the divine light, shining like steel.

"O holy radiance, hope, hope, power to plead for its fulfillment! Let this land once again shine with the gospel of the Lord, pure beauty. ”

Suddenly, there seemed to be a mass of endless brilliance in the sky.

Huge, overflowing, super-high concentration of holy light rushed down from the sky like a wave of water, and the wave of water swept away the snake tide in an instant, purifying the darkness within.

Beautiful, really coming!

It's like a dream.

But perhaps, it's really just a dream.

Feeling the breath of the abundant blood soul, the unshakable barrier that the underground Jeger had been watching was shattered!

Fear has come!
