42. Departure and the truth.
"Sister Sosia ......"
As Yakumoji's words fell, Sosia quietly stepped out of the shadows. But Sosia was not alone, followed by hundreds of sword-wielding mercenaries and Kelly and others who kept clinking glasses with Yakumo Temple at the wedding banquet before, almost all of them were influential figures on the Arad continent.
"Where do you want to go? Do you know how painful I was when Sai Xi died in front of me!! If Celiya hadn't shown up, I wouldn't have wanted to live!! Can't you just stay with Celia! Do you know? When Sai Xi died, he kept saying your name in his mouth! Although Saihi's appearance has changed now, Saihi is Selia! Can't you stay with Celia! ”
"I want to too...... Yakumoji smiled, "but I have to leave." Because someone wants to kill Selia, and now I can't protect Celia at all...... Moreover, the next apostle is about to appear. ”
"Roar!!" With that, all the people present who knew the identity of Yakumo Temple gasped. Those who didn't know took Yakumoji's words as a joke.
"And, even if I want to leave. Even these hundreds of people can't stop me...... I need strength. ”
"No wonder you kept asking me last night about how I could build up my strength so quickly." It was Golantis who spoke, and now she straddled the cross she often carried on her shoulder. 'If you dare to go, the old lady will hammer you to death!' 'Look.
"So how much power do you want? Mr. Yakunetji. An elegant sound of the piano swept by, and Alice appeared in front of Yakumoji.
"How do I feel like I've seen you somewhere?!" Yakumoji looked solemn.
"That's because you've met my maker, Lord Herder of Tears, Second Apostle. Mr. Yakumoji ...... Oh no! It's the Fourteenth Apostle and Prophet Yakumoji-sama! With that, Alice knelt in front of Yakumoji.
In an instant, everyone present was stunned! Some people were even so frightened that they lost all their strength, and the weapons in their hands quietly fell to the ground.
Apostles, the bane of calamity! The source of the anomaly in the Arad continent! The strongest in the world! Once, several people standing at the apex of the continent of Arad once teamed up to defeat an apostle...... But it ended in tragedy. But now, Alice, the most famous soothsayer in the Arad continent, actually said that the person in front of her, who seemed to be 'harmless to humans and animals', was actually an apostle!! And he bowed down to the apostle and claimed that he was also the apostle's creature!! How can this be calm?
"I don't ......" Before the words 'I am not an apostle' were spoken, a trace of bad thought instantly flashed through Yakumoji's mind!" If you say that you are not actually an apostle...... Something will definitely happen to the three of them! ’
"Get up......"
With that, Alice slowly stood up.
"Now that you are already an apostle, what more power do you need! Isn't the Apostle's power enough to protect Celiya?! I firmly believe in your character, and you are definitely not an apostle who destroys the world! Sosia yelled again.
"Not enough! Because I saw a conspiracy...... A conspiracy against the Apostles and the continent of Arad. Of all the apostles, only the power of the First Apostle, Karn, could stand up to this conspiracy. And I have to be more powerful for your safety! At the very least, it has to be an undefeated force that can fight against the First Apostle for 10 moves......"
"......" Sosia couldn't think of anything to stop Yakumoji anymore...... Then he could only ask helplessly. "Where do you want to go?"
Even so, the hundreds of people who surrounded Yakumo Temple with knives were a little difficult to accept.
Originally, they were just ordinary mercenaries stationed in the Affalia camp, but it was their regimental commander who suddenly accepted Sosia's commission at the wedding banquet, so they came to the door of the hotel to block people. But who knows, they are blocking no one else, it is the husband who married Selia at noon today, Yakumoji Temple...... But who knows, this Yakumoji Temple is not only the husband of Selija, but also the evil apostle who brought disaster to the world!
'Fear', under the psychology of absolute fear, both humans and animals will behave unusually. Similar to 'dog jumping over the wall' and 'rabbit biting'. Similarly, under the effect of the forced apostle status of Yakumo Temple, the sword-wielding mercenaries were red-eyed, and the killing intent flowed out in an instant! But in these killing intents, there is 'fear', 'anger', 'madness' and 'regret'...... And so on and so forth, and so on and so forth, and so on......, and so on Clearly, they had been blinded by fear.
The only people who were not blinded by fear like the mercenaries were those who were very famous in the continent of Arad, 'Sharan' and 'Kelly'............
"Wait!" When the mercenaries were about to get out of control, Alice quickly ran to Yakumoji and spread her hands to protect Yakumoji. "Yakumoji-sama isn't that kind of apostle!!"
"Is it your identity as a guarantee? The first soothsayer? "Sharan.
"Yes!" Alice nodded, then began to explain. "After the destruction of the elves, the second apostle, Lord Herder, sensed the changes on the Arad continent. And made me, and it was up to me to find the truth of the mutation. In addition, we are looking for the Fourteenth Apostle and Prophet Yakumoji! As early as more than twenty years ago in the Demon Realm, Lord Yakumoji, the weakest of the apostles, was suddenly assassinated and exiled to another world. And after the destruction of the elves, Lord Herder discovered the suspicion of the assassination and the real reason why Lord Shylock suddenly fell to the continent of Arad. ”
"Isn't Shylock a madman? We wanted to talk to her, but it turned out to be ......," Buwanga said and stopped.
"Master Shylock is not a madman. She was plotted by someone, so she went crazy and caused the mutation in the Arad continent. When Lord Yakumoji was exiled to the other world, Lord Heard found something very important in the palace of the Fourteenth Apostle in the Demon Realm - a crystal ball that recorded information with magic. The crystal ball was left by Lord Yakumoji, and in that crystal ball there was a detailed record of why Lord Shirok went crazy and the real reason why Lord Yakumoji was assassinated...... However, the most important ...... It was an assassination attempt against all the apostles! ”
"How come I don't have memories of being an apostle?! Is what you're saying true? Yakumoji looked dazed.
"But it's really Lord Yakumoji, it's because you and Lord Shylock discovered the assassination of all the apostles, that you and Lord Shylock became what they are now......"
