Chapter 52: We Surrender!
"Come out! Come out!"
"You demons have been surrounded! Put your hands behind your head!"
Inside the mansion, Elric and the rest could hear the voices of the inquisition team getting closer and closer, it seemed they were about to break in at any moment
"Young master, what is going on?" Asked Davis as he noticed the wrong expressions on Elric and George"s face
"Davis, Alvin, you might want to look at this"
Not in the mood to talk, Elric directly handed them the wanted notice
And just as he expected, upon reading through it, their expressions Immediately became the same as his.
"d.a.m.n! When did we become demons!?"
Looking at the papers in their hand George scolded fiercely as he couldn"t help but want to tear it.
"Calm down George, however young master, what should we do we"re surrounded!"
"And if we try to escape, the other clans men would surely be executed tomorrow!"
After trying to appease George, Davis quickly pointed out the crux of the matter
Hearing Davis words, everyone Immediately realised they seemed to have few options
"Yeah that"s true, and we can"t expose magic yet, if not they"ll have all the more reason to brand us as demons!"
Saying this, Elric couldn"t help but have a headache at the current situation.
"Open up! You demons have nowhere to hide!"
Just as they were about to continue discussing a solution to the matter, the shout of the inquisition team sounded again, at this time from the tone of their voice it seemed they were about to run out of patience
*Bam!*
*Bam!*
With two bangs the front door seemed to be hit by a heavy object
"Not good! young master they"re coming in!" Shouted Alvin
Immediately before they could react, a group of about a dozen men stormed into the building meeting them head-on.
Seeing the group of people with knight costumes rushing in, Elric couldn"t help but wish they were cosplayers
As the head of the group, a somewhat tall and muscular figure with standard knights armour stood directly in front of Elric
Wearing a white cape with a large cross sign on it, and holding a cross-blade sword in hand, his dark skin and b.i.t.c.h black eyes made him look extra fierce.
"Demon! Do not resist! On the orders of his highness and my lord the G.o.d of light, you are hereby to be arrested and purified!"
As he spoke, the blade in his hand seemed to glow with white light as if it could wait to decapitate Elric"s head off
"Haha I think you"ve got the wrong person, why don"t we sit down and discuss this over some wine?"
"Afterall, I for one have never harmed anybody, not even a fly or the smallest ant, who knows we might be able to help you find the real demons"
With a slight smile on his face although worried, Elric tried to stall for as much time as possible while he figured out a solution freew(e)b
Thankfully Davis on the side seemed to have guessed Elric"s intention
"Yes yes, I"ll go get some wine"
Saying that he was about to leave the room to go get some
*Boom!*
Unfortunately just before he was able to take a step, the inquisition team head quickly slashed out a blade of light from his sword in Davis directly
"d.a.m.n!"
Feeling the incoming danger, Davis felt like all his hair was standing on end
"Davis! roll quickly to the side!"
Hearing Elric"s shout, without any hesitation Davis quickly rolled left
*Boom!*
Immediately, just as he rolled the position where he had previously stood was replaced with a two metre crack.
"d.a.m.n! I almost got split in half!" looking at the crack Davis felt a chill go up his spine
In fact, at this moment Davis wasn"t the only one angry rather George, Alvin, and Elric on this side were seething with anger seeing the sneak attack just now
"Hey Inquisition fellow how can you just sneak attack like that, aren"t you meant to be n.o.ble or something, or did your G.o.d teach you to attack others with their backs turned"
Unable to contact his anger George lashed out directly at their leader, however unlike the reaction everyone expected, the leader just smiled kindly
"Wrong, and forgive me for not introducing myself earlier, my name is Michael the head of the inquisition team under the G.o.d of light"
With a slight pause, he continued talking
"And as for the attack just now, my sword only attacks those who are deemed demons or sinners, for your friend to be attacked just now, that confirms his as well as all of your demon status"
"Now do you want to do this the easy way, or the hard way?"
Contrary to fierce looks Micheal still had a calm expression on his face as we waited for their answer, it just that the sword still glistening in his hand didn"t complement his calm persona
Hearing Micheal say this, Elric couldn"t help but be stunned at how someone can say something so shameless so calmly
Thinking of how he obviously slashed the sword toward Davis and turned it into an automatic attack on demons Elric couldn"t help but be left speechless,
However, rather than admire his shamelessness Elric had more important things to do.
"Okay Michael, I understand what you mean however can you give us a minute to discuss"
Taking a deep breath, although Elric had somewhat thought of a plan however he still needed to inform George and the rest
"Sure however you have to make it quick, who knows if my sword might automatically attack again"
Although he said that with a smile, Elric could still fill the threat in his tone
While angry at being threatened, unfortunately given the current situation and his plans Elric could only hold back even though he wanted to force-feed him a fireball so badly.
"George! Alvin! Davis! you guys come over here"
Hearing Elric call them, the three of them quickly came over, and immediately after making sure man neither Michael nor his team could hear him he quickly told them his plan
Sure enough, as soon as he told them, a flurry of emotions could be seen on their faces obviously whatever Elric had in plan was definitely something shocking,
Finally, after discussing it for a while the four of them dispersed waiting to carry it out
*Ahem*
"Micheal we"ve decided!"
Hearing Elric say this, Michael couldn"t help but wonder what path this great demon king his lord ordered him to slay would choose
It"s just that Elric"s next words left him completely shocked
"Michael we surrender!"
