"Even if it's our vocation, we hate useless pain and death. So, after the two of us did all kinds of research, we finally found out that if we try to kill with one hit, we can reduce the pain and have a higher success rate of resurrection. The question, then, is what kind of blow to use. Do you want to pierce the heart directly into the heart with the fastest and most consistent movements, or do you cut off the head......

"We did this smoothly, we should have been seven years old, right? Because while the other kids were sleeping, we were both practicing against the air—" Although his body was still unconscious, Yugeo felt a chill that made his hair stand on end.

According to Fijer and Linier, the reason why the two girls possessed such powerful physical skills was because they had been killing each other mercilessly for several years. Every day and night, they wield their swords while thinking about how to cleverly end their friend's life.

Indeed, if such experience is accumulated, it is possible that even a child will be able to master the skills that are sufficient to be appointed as an integrated knight. But how much of the important thing in these two people is lost forever at the price?

Lynier climbed the main staircase without a break, and continued in a cheerful voice that remained unchanged. "When we were eight years old, Master Administrator finally gave up experimenting. As a result, a complete resurrection seems impossible. Do you know? At the moment when the destiny of heaven returns to zero, how to say it, countless white light arrows will pour down, erasing the things in your mind little by little. If something important is eliminated because of this, there is no way to return to the original state even if the destiny is restored. Even for me, after surviving, it is common to lose the memories of the days before that. - Because of this, in the first team of thirty people, by the end of the experiment, only Xiaojie and I survived. ”

"When we were told by a high-spirited patriarch that we could choose our next vocation, we gave the answer 'I want to be the Knight of Integration'. At that time, the other party was furious, saying that the integration knight was the guardian of order summoned by Lord Administrator from the divine realm, and that it was not something that a child like you could do. So, we had a competition with the two Consolidation Riders at the bottom of the rankings...... What's the name, those two? ”

"That...... Anyway, what is it called Synthesis· Tenty-eight and Tenty-nine. ”

"Little Nirvana, I just want to know what that is. Well, forget it, in short, when we saw us cut off the heads of those two high-spirited brothers, the expression of the patriarch really made people laugh to death-" At this, the two girls burst into a happy laugh, and the words were interrupted.

“…… So, the Administrator, who knew the result, made us a special case to become the Knight of Integration, taking the place of the two dead people. However, since it was not enough for us to directly take on the same position as other knights, we were also granted the status of a trainee nun, and we have been studying law and sacred magic here for two years...... Truth be told, enough of this stuff. ”

"When we were looking around for advice on what we could do to get the Wyvern and artifacts earlier, we heard that the cathedral had been invaded by the vanguard of the Dark Territory. Nirvana and I immediately reacted, "This is it!" If we can catch the intruder before the other knights and execute them, the Administrator will definitely promote us to full knighthood. So, we waited in the hallway. ”

"I'm so embarrassed to use poison. However, you will definitely be brought to the 50th floor alive, Mr. Eugeo, and then killed...... Ah, rest assured, we're pretty skilled at killing, and it won't hurt. ”

The two girls seemed to be unable to hold back the moment when they cut off the heads of Eugeo and Yi Yan in front of the integrated knight who opened the defensive line on the 50th floor, and their steps became more and more brisk, as if they were jumping step by step, obviously dragging the prey in their hands, but the speed of climbing the stairs did not slow down at all.

Now that he didn't think of a way to escape immediately, Yugeo could only bask in the shock caused by the words of the two. Even if his mouth was not paralyzed, there was absolutely no way to impress these two children with words. Because in their minds, there is not even the concept of good and evil. The only thing they obeyed was the order of the High Priest, the Administrator, who "made" them.

After turning the direction dozens of times, the ceiling reflected in Yugeo's wide eyes finally changed from a slope built against the upper staircase to a horizontal level. There are no stairs left, in other words, the entrance to the Grand Cloister on the 50th floor, which divides the cathedral into two halves, is finally reached.

Fijer and Lynier paused and exchanged a brief "Okay, let's go" words. A few minutes before the neck is severed by that green sword - no, how many tens of seconds are left? There was no sign of regaining consciousness in the body, and no matter how hard the mind was poured, it could not move the fingers a little.

After the two resumed moving, an intense white light shot into Yugeo's eyes.

The ceiling was higher than the one I had seen before, about twenty Mel. High above the head, a marble dome depicts the postures of the three goddesses of creation and their retinues in rich colors and delicate brushwork. The columns that support the dome are also carved with numerous portraits, and from the huge windows on the left and right walls, Sauls's splendor is poured in generously—a majestic sight that corresponds to the name of the Grand Corridor of Spiritual Light.

The girls dragged Yugeo and Yi Yan forward for another five or so mells before stopping. Eugeo's right foot was dropped heavily, and his body spun around in half a circle, finally able to see the whole picture of the Great Corridor.

The cloister is a bit scary, and it must have made use of the entire floor of the cathedral. The floor is paved with stones of different colors, the corners are bathed in white light, and from the entrance to the depths is a crimson carpet that runs through it, and at the end of the wall is embedded with a door as large as a giant for the use of giants, after which there is no doubt a staircase to the upper level.

And then—in front of the gate, almost in the middle of the cloister, several knights in full armor exuded an absolute coercion that no one was allowed to pass through. Four people stood side by side at equal intervals, with the last person standing a few steps ahead.

The four men in the back row were all dressed in heavy armor glowing with silver brilliance and helmets with cross-shaped gaps, not unlike the armor worn by Elderliye before. Both hands are also interlaced on the hilt of the large straight sword, and the sword stands on the ground.

Only the armor of the man standing in front of him was very different from the four people behind him, glowing with a graceful lilac glow. The armor is also slightly more ornate, and the thin sword that seems to be specialized for the purpose of thrusting hangs from the waist. Although this equipment can even be called light, the fighting spirit exuded by its body is incomparable to the four people behind him combined. The face is hidden behind a helmet adorned with the wings of a bird of prey, but there is no doubt that he is a fierce man not inferior to Desorubart.

These five Fusion Knights are a huge obstacle that Yugeo will have to break through if he wants to reach the top. But until then, the two little children standing in front of him posed a far greater threat to the lives of Eugeo than the five knights.

Lynier and Figer, dressed in simple monastic robes, straightened their backs and confronted the five.

"—Standing there is not the vice-captain of the knights, Fanatio. Synthesis· To 【Fanatio Synthesis To】Is His Highness? Lynel spoke in a lively tone, "He actually sent His Royal Highness the Heavenly Piercing Sword Fanatio out on purpose, and the patriarch is also quite anxious." No, or is it actually you, Lord Fanatio, who are in a hurry? Do you think that if you continue like this, your position as deputy knight chief will be taken away by His Royal Highness Jin Muxi? ”

There was a tense silence for a few seconds, before the purple knight replied in a high, metallic voice. Although the voice was a combination of knights' unique and non-human timbres, Yugeo felt that he did hear the meanness that was implied in it.

“…… Why would a child who is just a midshipman appear on the battlefield of a knight who fights for honor? ”

"Eh, what a stupid thing to say!" Figel immediately responded in a non-thinking voice. "It is said that the integration knight, who insists on fighting in a way of honor, has already lost twice. But don't worry, the knight won't be so ugly anymore, because we've already captured the intruders! ”

"Now that we are going to cut off the heads of sinners, please bear witness and report to the High Priest every word. I don't think the knights, who advocate honor, will step in to steal the credit from us. In the face of the ridiculously strong five integration knights, Lynelle and Figel were able to make such a mockery, and Yugeo even forgot his desperate position for a while, and turned to be amazed at the courage of the two.

No - something is slightly wrong.

Isn't the breath wafting from behind the two children an abomination......?

Eugeo, who fell to the ground, moved his only movable eyes, staring desperately at the two of them. But if so, what do they hate? Even when confronted with the great sinners Yugeo and Yi Yan who raised the flag against the Congregational Church, that is, against the High Priest Administrator, these two people showed nothing more than pure curiosity.

Lynier and Fijer stared at the Integrating Knights with blatant hatred and contempt, and the Knights stared at the two children with mean eyes, and Yugeo looked at them with questioning. So this moment-

- I'm afraid no one will be able to notice that the figure in black has stood silently and deftly behind the two children.

Obviously, like Yugeo, he was hit by the paralyzing poison that bound his whole body, but Lin Yiyan jumped up like a panther hunting prey, jumped behind the two girls, held the hilt of the poisonous sword hanging on the waist of Figel and Linier with his right hand and left hand respectively, and drew the knife out in an arc forward with continuous movements, cutting a shallow wound on the left wrists of the two children.

By the time the two children reacted and turned their heads suddenly, Lin Yiyan, who was holding two short swords, had already jumped backwards and landed firmly on the ground. Lyniere and Figel's innocent faces instantly showed expressions of surprise.

"Why ......"

"Moved ......"

The paralyzing poison took effect immediately, and the two children struggled to utter the words, and then fell to the ground with a soft thud.

Lin Yiyan, who was squatting deeply when he landed, slowly stood up, held the two poisonous swords in his left hand, approached Liner, groped in her monastic robe with his right hand, and soon took out a thumb-sized bottle containing orange liquid.

After pushing the cork of the bottle open with his thumb and sniffing it under the tip of his nose, Lin Yiyan nodded with satisfaction, walked to Yugeo's side, and held the vial close to his lips. The liquid ran down his lips into Eugeo's mouth, and he could only believe it was the antidote and drank it. The paralyzed tongue doesn't feel any taste, but that's probably a good thing.

Lin Yiyan, who had a stern expression on his face that he had never seen before, maintained a posture of bending his knees and whispered in a small voice. "It will take a few minutes for the paralysis to fully unravel. After your mouth moves, chant armed with total domination, beware of not being detected by the knights. When you're ready, keep it that way, waiting for my signal. ”

Then, Lin Yiyan stood up, walked to the two girls again, and shouted in a loud voice to the five integration knights who were some distance away from this side. "The swordsman Yi Yan and the swordsman Yugeo looked at each other in a lying position before, and they felt deeply rude! Begging for a moment, allowing me to be ashamed. The former shame is snowy, and he should draw his sword and fight with all his strength to compensate for the loss of etiquette! ”

Even through the purple armor, you could feel that the integration knight with a fairly high status hesitated for a moment, but then responded with a dignified voice. "I am the second Knight of Integration, Fanatius Synthesis· To！ Tell sinners, my artifact has no mercy on the sword, yes, if there is any unfinished word, it will be said soon before the sword is unsheathed! ”

Yi Yan, who received the reply, looked down at the girl who fell to the ground, and spoke in a strong voice that the knights could also hear; "-I think it's incredible, aren't you wondering, why can I move?"

was said by Lin Yiyan in his previous lines, and a look of remorse appeared in Liner's eyes.

"You're slipping out. You say that all the monks and nuns were ordered not to leave the room...... There is no one in the cathedral who will disobey the order. In other words, you who do not have to obey this command are not nuns at all. ”

I think the feeling is starting to recover, and a biting pain starts from all over his limbs, but Yugeo doesn't care. Because he finally realized what the expression on his partner's face really meant.

Yi Yan - was enraged. However, this anger is not directed at the two children. Because, now Lin Yiyan looked down at Lynel and Fijer's eyes, more like a headache for a disobedient child.

"And then there's the scabbard around your waist, which is made of the red oak of the south. It was the only material that could contain the poisonous steel of Rubelil without rotting, and it was definitely not something that the Trainee Nuns had. So, before you got closer, I was chanting the anti-poison technique, although it would take a long time for the toxins to be completely dissolved...... The so-called strength does not mean that the sword is fast enough...... In fact, you are so ignorant in some ways that it would not be a pity for you to die here. ”

After releasing cold words to the girls, Lin Yiyan raised the poisonous sword in his left hand. With a short shout, his left hand swung down without hesitation, and the short sword flew out with a green flash. With a dull sound, the two swords were finally stuck in the floor tiles in front of the tips of Lynel's and Figel's noses.

"But I'm not going to kill you. Instead, keep your eyes open and watch how powerful the integration knight you think is stupid. After saying this, Lin Yiyan turned around and took a few steps forward.

With the high voice of "Qiang", Lin Yiyan pulled out the black sword from its scabbard and put it in front of him.

"—I've kept you waiting, Knight Fanatio."

Anyway...... It's too messy, isn't it? Looking at his partner's back, although Yugeo wanted to scream like this, his lips could only make a slight vibration. It seems that although the feeling has slowly recovered, it is not yet to the point where I can speak.

Lin Yiyan once borrowed books such as weapon names from the library of the academy, and he should have read about red oak and poison steel from it. Although he exerted amazing insight - or suspicion allowed the two to escape from the children's trap, but the wave did not settle and the wave rose again - it is better to say that Yi Yan took the initiative to jump into the bigger crisis without any countermeasures. One of the five integrated knights, one of whom is even a strong player in the rank of deputy knight chief, is not an opponent who can confront him head-on. Now, according to the pre-planned operation, it is impossible to chant the battle plan of total domination before breaking into the Great Corridor.

It's better to say that if it were an ordinary Yi Yan, he would have fled with Yugeo without saying a word here, waiting for a slightly more favorable situation. Now, Yi Yan didn't do this, so his state was really abnormal. What drives Yi Yan now is a deep anger, so deep that if you look at him now, it seems that you can see blue anger burning from the back of the black-clothed body.

If he confronted the current Yi Yan head-on, even the instructors of the Sword Cultivation Academy would probably not be able to resist the coercion he unleashed. However, should it be said that it is worthy of the integration knight, the purple knight named Fanatio just held the hilt of the thin sword on his left waist in an awe-inspiring posture, and drew his sword out of its sheath with a cold voice. For a moment, the dazzling light that seemed to emit from the blade itself made Yugeo unable to open his eyes.
