Chapter 711
Chapter 711: An Archbishop?
Fighting a cult by pretending to be the apostle of G.o.d. I’m basically trying to make another cult here.
These people believed that Graham is an angel sent by the G.o.d. Except for some who was not tricked. They are the people who know that angel is just another type of intellectual monster.
Which most likely mean that they know the existence of the Monsters World since I have never seen an angel on Earth.
There are even some expert level mages who believed that Graham is truly the G.o.d’s apostle. They killed several of the cult’s loyal believer before getting themselves killed.
Thanks to them, Victoria didn’t need to waste too much Aura stored in her. So she can focus on protecting Graham since I also told him to not use his shadow clone.
She slashed the magic targeted toward Graham who was busy facing other people. Thanks to being used to slash magic so many times, she knows how to do it.
There are several master level mages here who noticed that I arrived and looked at them. And only Victoria and Graham are here. It’s really a good thing that we had Graham acted like an apostle.
.....
But because of my return to this cathedral, those master level mages started to use their magic to kill everyone. Leaving only those who are loyal to the cult.
“Ah! Forgive me, G.o.d!”
“You frauds will burn in h.e.l.l!”
Those are the things that the cult members who believed Graham said as their last words to their murderer.
The cathedral now is destroyed. There’s no more people except ten master level mages who are prepared to fight. Including one who looks like a really important person.
“Archbishop! Only us bishops left! The rest have died!” one of the bishop shouted.
Wait, that’s the Archbishop? The one whom Celestine and Veronica said to be closest to the Evil G.o.d?
Hmm... maybe that is indeed the same Archbishop. But that doesn’t mean he is the closest one to the Evil G.o.d.
Seeing how many master level mages from the cult, I don’t think Celestine and Veronica who were just expert level mages when they left the cult would know much. This Archbishop might have someone else above him who is much closer to the Evil G.o.d. Probably the Pope or a Saint if they think that it’s an organization.
That’s right. I also need to think that the cult is similar to a criminal organization with clear hierarchy. With the Evil G.o.d at the top. And Veronica and Celestine were just some subordinates whose knowledge is limited.
I’ll tell Albert about this later. Though maybe someone already thought about it.
In any case, the one who was called as the Archbishop seems to be the most important and also the strongest. I need to capture him alive if I want to get more information about the cult. Good thing that I still have the handcuff that even master level mage has difficulty to remove and able to block the wearer’s magic.
There’s only ten enemies left and we only have three fighters since we can’t include Ray in. And Shelia is still busy with the enemy she’s facing.
Well, with me here, there’s nothing to worry about.
And as I was thinking of how to kill them as fast as possible, the Archbishop started talking.
“Who are you? And why did you do this?” he asked.
“I’m an Aura user. That’s the answer for the first question. As for the second question, it’s because we hate the cult,” I said.
“So you’re the Aura user and the one who pretends to be the living armor, huh? You and that woman who doesn’t seem to be a human. And that’s the horse of the living armor. So you’re not really a living armor, but an Aura user who is a summoner who can somehow make contracts with multiple monsters. But why do you hate the cult?” the Archbishop asked.
“Are you stupid? You’re a cult with a a goal to destroy the world. Why wouldn’t anyone hate you? The only ones who don’t hate you are those who agree with you. And most of them are likely those who doesn’t even know that your goal is the world destruction,” I said.
After I said that, some of the bishops were shocked. They must be belong to the group who doesn’t know the cult’s goal.
“...You talk too much. Kill them.”
That order from the Archbishop wasn’t mean to kill us. It’s to kill the other bishops who know nothing.
Why would they purposely decrease their chance of winning? From the ten master level mages, four of them died. Leaving behind the Archbishop and five bishops.
Well, that just makes things easier for us. And now that Victoria is riding on Ray, she can use Aura however much she wants.
“Killing your own allies? That just decrease your chance of winning here,” I said.
“It’s better than having subordinates who can’t obey.”
Capturing him might prove to be difficult. He might not even care about his own life and choose to kill himself.
The same could be said to the other bishops. But I can just ignore them if they want to die.
The problem is the Archbishop. I also want to confirm if he’s the same Archbishop whom Veronica and Celestine know. Though I heard that the Archbishop that they knew wears a mask.
“This might be where my life is over. But I won’t go down without a fight. Everything is for the True G.o.d,” the Archbishop said.
“No, he’s not the True G.o.d. He’s an Evil G.o.d.”
“Let’s just kill each other now. Bring out everything you have with you!” the Archbishop shouted.

...Did he just ignore me? That’s not a True G.o.d. He’s just an Evil G.o.d. That’s what I said. But this Archbishop chose to ignore me.
“By the way, do you know of the Archbishop who wears a mask?” I asked.
“If you’re ready, let’s fight!”
Alright, he’s deaf. Not fully deaf. He just has very selective hearing. I guess if someone wants to be in a high position in something like a cult, they need to have the ability to listen only to what they want to hear.
“Fine, I’ll call for reinforcement then,” I said as I opened two portals.
One of them is to the location of the werewolves whom I have informed to prepare to fight at all time tonight. The last one is also to someone I told to prepare to fight. But she’s not a monster. She’s Celestine.
I want to ask Veronica as well, but she’s busy with her mission together with Wendy.
“Hmm? His garb look familiar, but not his appearance,” Celestine said as soon as she enters the portal.
“He’s an Archbishop. Is he the one you and Veronica told me about before?” I asked.
“No. This one is shorter and he doesn’t wear a mask,” she said.
Meanwhile, the bishops and the Archbishop who were shocked that I suddenly summoned a lot of monsters. But the Archbishop and several other bishops were shocked to see Celestine.
“It’s the b.o.o.b Priestess!”
Yup. As soon as someone spoke, he was killed by Celestine even though she’s one level lower than him.
“That’s rude. Even back then, I always thought that you people are the rudest bunch of people in the world. I hate the cult,” Celestine said.
Well, now there’s only five enemies left. Six if I include the one Shelia is fighting.
“Victoria, go with Ray to check on Shelia. I will capture that Archbishop while the rest of you can go wild.”
“Roger!”
Now, who is Roger again? Oh, right. It meant that she understood.
“I guess we’re really die here tonight. But don’t forget to kill as many as possible! Including the b.o.o.b Priestess!” the Archbishop said.
That’s really rude. She’s my future wife, you know? She already promised me that.
I guess I’ll kill him after we got all the information we need.
But seriously, is that what they call Celestine? No one ever told me about it. I guess it’s some sort of inside joke by the higher ups of the cult.
Victoria and Ray left to the direction of where Shelia is. Shelia has a Blobby with her so Victoria can find her easily.
Maybe it’s faster if I just open a portal to her location, but I think Shelia is currently enjoying her battle so I don’t want to bother her. The master level mage she’s facing is quite strong after all.
It would be impossible for her to win the fight unscathed. But she’s a werewolf. The strongest werewolf I know. She’s already far surpa.s.sed her grandfather. So even some major injuries can still get healed by her regeneration skill.
Both sides are prepared to fight. We have the number but they have the strength. But the Archbishop seems to be the strongest here. Let’s separate him from the other.
“Fight whenever you want!”
I run toward the Archbishop and grabbed his face before I leaped to the sky and threw him away. The two of us will fight in different location than the rest.
