Chapter 55: The Most Evil Man In The World!
Freedom town
A new day had begun, and the whole freedom town was filled with a solemn atmosphere, stores and buildings were left empty as their inhabitants had crowded the streets
"Hurry up, the execution is about to start!"
"I"m running as fast as I can, l heard that the G.o.d of light is going to broadcast this to the whole Elias!"
On a random street, to children could be seen running toward the town square with excitement-filled faces
After hurrying each other up, they suddenly increased their speed. In Fact, this wasn"t as a rare scene as similar scenarios were being played throughout town as everyone rushed towards the town square
Looking closer at the town square, a figure holding a staff on a wooden stage could be seen
Standing on a high platform in the town square, the pop wearing a white robe with a cross symbol on it could be seen
*Ahem!*
"Bring on the prisoners!"
With a loud shout, the pope gave a go-ahead to the jailers at the back of the crowd
With his command, the crowd was successfully parted into two as a group of people made their way forward
Soon the figures of Reinhardt, Elric, Davis, Alvin, Aoma, George as well as all the villagers could be seen walking towards the platform with chains on their hands
"Gasp!"
"Are these the demons? They look like normal humans and Fox men tho"
"Shhhh! What do you know, they could be in disguise"
With the appearance of Elric and the rest the crowd suddenly started to murmur as emotions of fear, curiosity and doubt filled their minds
However, neither Elric nor the rest of them paid any attention to the crowd
"Haha hey Reinhardt sorry about this, I guess I got you kind of mixed up in this meds"
Looking at Reinhardt"s haggard appearance beside him Elric couldn"t help but feel bad knowing that him being arrested was his fault
It"s just that Reinhardt didn"t seem to take it seriously but rather smiled back at him
"Don"t worry about it young man, I already expected something like this to happen since you arrived here and as for Aoma, don"t worry I already have something planned I don"t know if you"ve noticed bus Sebastian isn"t around "
Saying that Reinhardt continued to walk towards the platform as if his death wasn"t a big deal
*Could it be that Reinhardt also has an escape plan? If so, that means this execution is about to get more interesting!"
Judging from his reaction Elric couldn"t be sure that Reinhardt definitely had a plan to escape although not sure what it was
*However I hope it doesn"t affect senior nameless plan"
Thinking back to their discussion all through yesterday night Elric couldn"t help but respect his senior knowing that if it was him he doesn"t think he could sacrifice himself
Soon without too many distributions they successfully made it towards the stage
"Kneel down!"
Looking at them standing on the stage, with a look of contempt the Pope immediately commanded them to kneel down
"d.a.m.n you, who do you think you ar-" .(c)om
Just as Davis was about to lash out, a big hand suddenly pressed down on his shoulder calming him down
"Relax Davis, remember the plan, and don"t make a scene!"
Whispering slightly in his ears Elric tried to calm Davis down
Thankfully after taking a deep breath Davis followed Elric"s words and knelt down with the rest of them
Seeing Davis who suddenly backed down, the contempt in the Pope"s eyes suddenly became more intense
After a light snort at them, the pope continued to address crowd in front of him
With a light smile he continued
"Today we are gathered here under the command of the almighty G.o.d king the G.o.d of light! To execute this group of blasphemers and demons!"
"And it is with great joy that we his believers accomplish his orders!"
As the pope spoke, the expression on his face became more and more fanatical, unfortunately not everyone was pleased
The priests of the original churches in town had ugly faces as the pope suddenly cla.s.sified them as followers of the G.o.d of light, unfortunately they weren"t able to refute it as their G.o.ds had already dropped an oracle telling them to let the church of light do whatever they want while they were here
Seeing that no one refuted him the pope suddenly had a complacent smile, after giving a mocking look to the priests of other churches he continued talking
"However, before we execute these demons behind me, there are two things we need to address"
Hearing the pope say this, both the crowd and the executioners on stage suddenly had confused expressions, only Elric had a knowing look on his face as he already knew what was about to happen
"Firstly, with the power of the great G.o.d of light, I say this execution shall be broadcast all across Elias!"
*Bam!*
Banging his staff on the ground, the sky suddenly began to ripple, soon the figures of him, Elric, and the rest on the execution stand could clearly be seen all over Elias
However just when everyone was engrossed by the sudden change, the Pope"s voice was suddenly heard
"Next, before we start executing these demons behind me, there is one man who has to be executed first!"
"This man is known as the first blasphemer in Elias, he decided to spy on the power of the G.o.ds to cause chaos in our beautiful world!"
"He is known as the most Evil man in the world, Executioners drag him forward!"
With his shout, millions of races even some G.o.ds suddenly turned toward the sky eager to see what who was given the t.i.tle of "the most Evil man in the world" looked liked
Soon under their eager gaze, two inquisitors dragged a robed figure to the stage
"Take off his robe!" Shouted the pope
Taking off the robe, his figure could clearly be seen
With chains on his hands and legs, a middle-aged looking man with a large beard and long hair could be seen
With a wide smile on his face, he looked at the pope with a hearty laugh
"Haha!"
"How are you, pope? It"s been a while!"
