35 – #035 Arrested for being innocent

If you watch movies, you can sometimes see people who are arrested after being falsely accused.

If that person is the main character in a movie, you can see him breaking out of prison or running away, saying that he will find out his frame on his own.

It is probably because he is convinced that the judicial system will not be able to protect him in a situation where he is falsely accused.

The judicial system in this world is the Goddess Church.

Priests and denominations of the Goddess Church, saints and popes act as jurors and judges to execute all types of sentences.

And people believe in the priests who are the representatives of the Goddess and who deliver the Words of the Goddess.

Since it was the goddess who used her power to summon a hero from the other world to defeat the demon king and protect humanity, humanity still believes in and follows the Goddess Church.

That’s why.

It is not enough for me to liberate two objects containing demonic energy and kill countless people, but it is also the Order of the Goddess who is putting me on trial for killing two men fascinated by a femme fatale.

“Suspect, Undertaker, stay in this prison for the time being.”

I was imprisoned in the dungeon where I imprisoned the four surplus heroes.

He crossed over from the southern part of the continent to the Vatican in the center of the continent with teleport magic, was arrested by the Holy Knights, and entered the dungeon where heretics live.

“If you act suspiciously or try to break out of the prison, you will be considered a criminal.”

“Captain, this looks very old.”

“…Stop it. Don’t break the bars.”

The commander of the Holy Knights warned me in a low voice.

“I have to make a cause, but if you’re uncooperative like that, I can’t make a cause. Calm down.”

“But the next time you lock someone up here, wouldn’t that person break the cage like this from the inside and get out?”

“Please stop. People from the Empire need to see you.”

The leader of the knights, Raella shook his head.

“Why did the saintess treat someone like this. Ha ha.”

“Are you cursing the saintess?”

“Don’t slander me. I am the spear of the church. The saintess who conveys the word of the goddess is her representative. For her to slander and swear at him is absurd as a leader. Please stay calm for a few days. “

“Of course. I know. Only then can we go to liberate the weapons of other demon lords over there.”

“…….”

Captain Raella paused for a moment.

Somehow, it seemed that I, a hero, was still displeased with the fact that I, a hero, had liberated the demon king’s weapons, and that I had released the four officers of the demon king’s army that had been sealed with difficulty.

“What happened to Kramuta and Titania now?”

“Intensive interrogation is taking place in a space different from yours. They are also coming out more cooperatively with the church than I thought.”

“They…?”

“Yes. It seems that your influence has been great.”

Captain Raella pointed at the magic sword he had brought.

“I was very grateful to you for freeing me from something that would rot for the rest of my life as an ego weapon, like the demon sword or the demon palace.”

“This side didn’t release them specifically for them, but to seal the hero’s soul.”

I pointed to a red jewel stuck in a corner of the prison.

“How about it? A witch is stuck there like that.”

“It’s a bit like seeing the witch’s beads, later called the devil’s beads, rolling around like that.”

“It’s okay. No one is messing with it. I’m taking good care of it now, so you don’t have to worry.”

I used magic to pull the orb-soul stone containing Huang Lian’s soul.

“For example, if you do it this way…”

Magically returned to my hand at once, the soul stone continued to glow red, and I threw it against the wall as if throwing a full blow.

Per-euk.

The wall was not broken, and the soul stone was not broken.

“If I don’t know anything else, I’m sure I’ll miss this one.”

I’m not an idiot who lets Huang Lian’s Soul Stone fall into the hands of others just because I’m enjoying my victory.

“Don’t worry. Heroes are handled by heroes. Captain, please keep an eye on Kramuta and Titania over there.”

No matter how much they helped me, the two of them are the worst war criminals who have killed hundreds and thousands of people.

They helped destroy the world and even killed the warriors.

Even though Kramuta had a pleasant personality, she killed many people in this land with the ‘demon king’s sword’, and Titania used her fairy’s small body to assassinate many powerful people.

There were so many people in this world who had silver money for them, and as soon as they were completely sealed in the demon lord’s weapon, their bodies burned in flames.

“Kramuta, did you accept the ‘deal’?”

“…Yes. I accepted a very terrible and cruel deception against the world, and a most brutal deal for a being called Huang Lian. There’s no-nothing wrong with me.”

“Is that something I can see myself?”

“It will proceed step by step. Soon, if it is not tonight, we will be able to confirm it tomorrow. And when the proof is finished on the spot, you will be ‘innocent’.”

The church is on my side.

Therefore, with the help of the church, I can solve all of my murders, the emperor’s death, and the false accusations of killing thousands of people.

“That, Captain. Let’s ask one thing.”

I caught her before her boss tried to slip her away.

“Saintess, aren’t you overdoing it?”

“…Someone told the saintess that she was a ‘sh*thole’, so even the saintess took a break when she was resting. And thanks to someone bringing ‘that’ to her, there are people who can work hard in her place. .”

Probably by now.

A fantastic ‘dismantling show’ will be unfolding.

“Looks like the time has come. Would you like to go? The saintess is waiting for you.”

At that time.

In the middle of the dark room of the Goddess Church, a decapitated body lies quietly on the altar.

“Oh, the remains of a warrior full of the divine power of the goddess.”

With the pope at the center, the other cardinals form a circle around the altar, followed by other priests forming several layers of circles.

“The head with the witch’s soul is gone. Now all that’s left is the witch’s body. Alas, goddess. Even with your holy power, I’ll ‘split’ the femme fatale Minsena, who decided to become a witch herself. ‘Yes.’

The pope held his hands high, even wearing the silvery-white gauntlets that didn’t match.

“We cannot dare harm the hero whom the Goddess has bestowed the blessing of divine power on. However, the Goddess told the Demon King to cut off the fallen witch’s head and cut the remaining body into smaller pieces and spread it all over the world. The divine power contained in this body will become a sacred relic that protects churches and cathedrals.”

If the cup used by God is called the Holy Grail, what should we call the remains of a saint to whom God has directly bestowed divine power?

“From now on, we will make the ‘Holy Cup’. The Holy Cup will spread to each parish, be kept in the parish, and will become the folk song of the Church of Goddess. And for that… We will cut it out one by one from now on. “

The pope picked up the item brought by the cardinal next to him with his gauntleted hand.

It was a half-moon-shaped small head.

The black glowing thing was the devil’s magic, which should never exist in the Goddess Church.

It was originally a magic bow, but it is a blade that has been transformed into a new form due to necessity.

“Hmm…!”

The pope aimed the blade at his ankle using makeshift handles on either side.

Sigh.

“Oops…!”

“Oh Goddess.”

“How did this happen…”

Everyone is shocked and angry.

Even though he’s a hero, he’s not angry about cutting up human corpses.

“How in the world could this happen?”

Even if the ankle was cut, not a single drop of blood flowed out, and only the black surface eroded by demonic energy glistened on the cross section.

“Many warriors shed red blood just like us when they were killed by Magi, so how could this witch not have a single drop of blood spilled out! ! Goddess, I’m sorry! Please forgive us for not digging into these people’s true nature before!”

“”””Forgive me!!”””

Other cardinals and priests followed the pope’s lead, crying out and asking for forgiveness.

“Prime Minister of the Empire. Is this enough proof?”

“Yes. I checked.”

The short, plump prime minister let out a rough breath and laughed.

“The empire will no longer treat the brave Undertaker as a criminal once it is confirmed that the femme fatale is the witch who brainwashed the emperor and ruined the empire.”

The chancellor used flame magic at the box containing Undertaker’s wanted letters and burned them.

“Beyond saving the world, he might be a hero who saved the empire by killing a femme fatale who might have already been cursed by the demon king. It’s a thing, but if that’s the will of the goddess.”

“By the will of the goddess.”

Seokkul, seokkeol.

The remains of the witch, the Holy Cup are dismantled and spread everywhere.

Now, only the torso remains as a whole.

“His Majesty. As promised…The Empire will take this torso.”

“Okay. But what are you going to do with that torso…?”

“Well, nothing special.”

The chancellor laughed bitterly and placed her torso in something like a coffin.

“Using the body of this cheeky witch who brainwashed His Majesty, we plan to use it as an ‘educational material’ for future emperors. They will use it as a reminder, lest anyone be possessed by the likes of a femme fatale and bring the empire to ruin.”

“In other words…”

“Yes. The remains of a femme fatale will be ‘for all emperors’.”
