My Lord Who Is Being Prudent! [EN]: Chapter 101

Muriel’s Ruins (3)

After Cyan left to find the source of the plague,

Aria returned to Gestak Village.

She didn’t know when Cyan would eliminate the source of the plague.

And there was nothing she could do there anyway.

It was better to wait in Gestak Village than to just stay there.

And that was the same thought for not only Aria, but also Rachel and the Holy Knights.

So Aria returned to Gestak Village with the Holy Knights.

On the way back to Gestak Village,

“…You bad guy.”

Aria muttered to herself without realizing it.

She didn’t know why.

She also knew there was no reason to.

“…You could have asked me to come with you.”

But she still felt a little sad.

Aria looked around.

The Holy Knights in their pure white armor.

They were escorting Aria and clearing the way.

It was a very reassuring sight.

But Aria felt like she was alone.

If Laura had been there, it might have been different, but Laura was in Gestak Village.

Since they were approaching the source of the plague, it was dangerous, so Aria told her to stay in the village.

Laura was worried, but Aria said she was fine.

Because Cyan was by her side.

But now.

Cyan just went to the source of the plague all by himself.

Leaving Aria all alone.

To be honest, Aria wanted to go with Cyan.

She even tried to ask him to go with her.

But she couldn’t bring herself to say it first.

Was it really the source of the plague?

Aria also found it hard to bear the plague’s energy.

She felt like she would only hold Cyan back if she followed him.

Aria couldn’t bring herself to say it first.

So she was secretly hoping he would ask her to come with him…

“You bad guy.”

Cyan just left all by himself.

Of course, Aria knew that Cyan had no choice.

He must have been worried about Aria too.

“…You’re really a bad guy.”

Even so, Aria felt a little sad.

Aria grumbled and moved her feet.

And she looked around again.

“Kwek!”

A group of monsters attacking.

But the Holy Knights were sweeping them away at once.

For some reason, it felt like more monsters were attacking than before.

Fortunately, the Holy Knights didn’t have much trouble.

However, Rachel was nowhere to be seen.

Rachel had something else to do and was acting alone.

Aria thought about following Rachel.

She had serious concerns.

Rachel didn’t react to the demon detector.

Cyan also stated that Rachel was not a demon.

Even so, Aria couldn’t easily shake off her suspicion.

That’s because she saw it with her own eyes.

It wasn’t that she had been suspicious of Rachel from the first time she saw her.

It was only a few months ago that she had such suspicion… no, conviction.

It was right after she heard the news that the Twilight Order was forcibly spreading its doctrines to young children.

Moreover, abuse was also taking place in the process.

It is also the duty of the Order to preach the will of God.

However, it must be voluntary and never forced.

Even abuse.

Aria went to the area to confirm this.

And Aria could see it.

It wasn’t God’s doctrine.

Dawn and Twilight.

The doctrines of the two factions are slightly different, but their roots are the same.

However, the scene Aria faced was something that could never be seen as the same root.

Children with bloodshot eyes.

Aria was shocked by their fanatical appearance.

And Rachel was standing in front of those children.

It was a clear… aura of evil.

Aria had never faced a demon before.

Even so, Aria could tell.

That is definitely malice.

It was even a terrible malice.

Aria is considered to have the most powerful divine power in history.

But the terrible evil that Rachel showed at that time was beyond her control.

Can I really stand up to that evil?

Aria even had such doubts.

Aria immediately left the place in fear.

She thought she had to save the children right away, but it was beyond Aria’s ability to do it alone.

The evil that had been cast was so terrible.

Rachel didn’t respond at all.

Whether she didn’t know Aria had come.

Or if she knew but pretended not to know.

She couldn’t know about that.

Aria immediately led people and went back to that place.

But there were no traces left.

Only Rachel, the most cardinal-like cardinal, was there.

But Aria could clearly see it.

That’s why Aria needed to confirm.

And she needed to let people know.

Despite Cyan’s conviction.

Aria still believed that Rachel was a demon.

And now Rachel is acting alone.

She didn’t know what she was trying to do.

But it’s true that she’s suspicious.

So she should follow her and find out what it is.

“…”

Aria didn’t say she would do that rashly.

If Rachel is a demon as Aria suspects.

And if what Rachel is trying to do is something Aria shouldn’t see.

Aria couldn’t handle it.

There was nothing Aria could do.

The terrible evil she faced at that time.

It was an evil that Aria couldn’t handle.

There is no way.

There is nothing she can do.

Even if she steps forward, it’s just a reckless tantrum.

Let’s act carefully and wisely.

Now is not the time to follow Rachel.

Wait until Cyan removes the source of the plague, then discuss it with Cyan.

It’s not too late to move then.

Let’s wait for Cyan in Gestak Village for now.

Aria headed to Gestak Village.

How long has it been?

The scenery of Gestak Village was visible in the distance.

The village she had arrived at.

Aria strode forward to find Laura.

“Huh…?”

But something felt strange.

The atmosphere in the village was unusual.

Something… something…

Right then.

“S, Saintess!”

Laura’s urgent voice came from inside the village.

#

Fear that dominates the mind.

The instinct that resides in one corner of reason is erased.

No, no thoughts come to mind.

Cyan had met many powerful enemies, including the demon of sloth, Nurvia.

Cyan had overcome many adversities and impossibilities.

But now it’s different.

The situation itself was different.

The Death Knights gathered in one place were like a visible plague.

Their mere existence contaminates the surroundings.

The energy that he had been enjoying until just now no longer existed.

Now, only the energy of death was cast.

Cyan forced himself to raise his head.

He can see the dark blue eyes staring at Cyan.

He couldn’t see his expression, so he couldn’t read it.

But the atmosphere around him could be seen and read.

Death.

A Death Knight is a magical being born from the resentment of a knight who was once outstanding.

And the Death Knight in front of him.

This Death Knight could not be described with the simple expression of being outstanding.

It seemed that he was at a level where it would have been difficult to find an opponent when he was human.

Such a person became a Death Knight with resentment.

The years of experience have accumulated, and the madness has become even more intense as it is eroded by magic.

The more noble the soul was when he was human, the more amplified the power eroded by magic.

That’s why Cyan was sure.

The Death Knight in front of him would not be easily pushed back even if he fought Durak.

And.

-Kill the people of the Papal States.

-Kill the people of the Papal States.

-Kill the people of the Papal States.

There are as many as 30 Death Knights at a similar level.

Each of the beings that are now urging death upon Cyan.

All are Masters.

-Kill the people of the Papal States.

And it seemed that the reason why they became Death Knights was none other than resentment towards the Papal States.

Of course, Cyan was not a member of the Papal States.

Therefore, he was not the target of their resentment.

But it’s useless.

Resentment is just a trigger, they have already been swallowed by madness.

-Kill the people of the Papal States.

-Kill the people of the Papal States.

Now they were just Death Knights who craved the death of life.

I have to run away.

I don’t know why such beings are in Muriel’s Ruins.

But that didn’t matter now.

This is not an opponent that can be dealt with.

He can’t even handle one of the Death Knights gathered here.

This was not a situation that Cyan could handle.

So I have to run away.

But.

“Cough…!”

Cyan vomited blood.

He can’t move his body easily.

He is suppressed only by momentum.

If he breaks his heart even a little, the darkness that will swallow his existence will rush in.

A fatal instinct warns.

Surely here.

I’m going to die!

Swaeak!

The sound of air tearing apart.

Cyan bent his body back by putting strength into his muscles.

At the same time, a sharp sword passes before his eyes.

A terrible murderous intent is felt above it.

When he swung his sword.

How he reacted.

I can’t understand.

However, if the reaction was even a little late.

Only the clear fact that his neck would have been cut off was recognized.

-Kill the people of the Papal States!

Swaeaeek!

The field of vision expands.

Reason becomes sharply sensitive to clear fear.

If you fight, you will surely lose.

There is no possibility of winning.

He must get out of the ruins somehow, by any means.

But even that was impossible.

If only he had Muriel’s Blessing, he felt a sense of regret.

A fraudulent buff that increases all of Cyan’s physical abilities by 10 times.

If he had that, he wouldn’t be able to confront them, but he would have been able to escape somehow.

But now he couldn’t use Muriel’s Blessing.

He didn’t have any money to pay for it right now.

I should have squeezed money out of Rachel.

A deep regret arose.

But now such regrets.

Kururururu…!

It’s no use.

The Death Knights began to advance.

The Death Knight in front of him did not move.

A Death Knight at the level to fight Durak.

If that Death Knight had moved, Cyan would have died without being able to do anything.

Should I call this a blessing in disguise?

Or should I call it hope torture?

Bbaaaang!

A sound of air exploding.

Cyan’s body was pushed back greatly.

Cyan immediately pulled out his sword from the inventory.

He stops thinking.

He also doesn’t think about whether he can do it or not.

The Death Knight legions are attacking.

Cyan swung his SS-grade sword greatly, flying his body backwards with the recoil.

Kkwang─!

A terrible force was felt above the sword along with the explosion.

“Cough…!”

Even though he simply blocked it, his muscles trembled.

He felt the shock of being hit with the sword, not just blocking it.

He wouldn’t have been able to withstand it if it wasn’t for the SS-grade sword.

Swaeaeek!

Once again, the air is torn apart next to Cyan.

There are about 30 Death Knights here.

Blocking one was meaningless.

Moreover, it is a blow struck by a master-level knight aiming for an opening.

At Cyan’s current level, he cannot block or respond.

Kwajik─!

He couldn’t even avoid it.

“Keuh…!”

The inside is turned upside down.

Blood pours out.

Fortunately, he wasn’t cut.

The SS-grade armor upgraded from the S-grade.

That’s because it blocked the blow.

That’s why the sound he heard was not a cracking sound.

The sound of the SS-grade armor breaking.

The armor was broken in one blow, but if it was S-grade, it would have been cut along with it.

Is the SS-grade armor that blocked the master’s blow great?

Or are those Death Knights who broke the SS-grade armor great?

I don’t know.

It doesn’t matter.

However, it only tells one clear fact.

‘I can’t run away.’

He cannot ignore those Death Knights and run away.

He must create an opening to escape.

He must create even a very small gap and squeeze through it.

However, 30 Death Knights.

Each one is at the level of a master.

It is impossible to even create an opening against them.

But just because it’s impossible doesn’t mean he can just die like this.

Kadeudeuk!

A sound of something collapsing was heard from Cyan’s mouth.

At the same time, Cyan recited the [incantation] of the Demon Soul Control Technique.

The power of the origin reacts.

A terrible demonic energy erupts with the increased progress rate along with the absorption of the plague.

Darker than jet black.

The origin’s demon rose from Cyan’s entire body.

It forces the death that has taken over Cyan to obey.

No matter how much the Death Knight has reached the master level.

In the end, it is an existence based on magic.

Also, Exceed, beyond that level.

It cannot be compared to the strongest Arnaise, Kyle.

So Kyle’s Demon Soul Control Technique.

And Cyan’s Asura Heavenly Kill.

However, he could not defeat the Death Knights with this.

But he could create an opening for a while.

Saaaaaak─!

All the darkness that blooms submits before Cyan.

The darkness of the Death Knight is scattered by Cyan’s demon.

Cyan clenched his SS-grade sword tightly.

At that moment.

Drop.

Such a sound…

He had the illusion that he heard it.

As if time had stopped.

All the Death Knights stopped moving at once.

The posture of holding up the sword.

The posture of rushing towards Cyan.

The posture of swinging the sword at Cyan.

It was as if time had literally stopped.

The dark blue eyes of the Death Knights flicker.

They were all wearing helmets, so he couldn’t see their expressions.

However, he could read clear emotions from the flickering eyes in the darkness inside the helmet.

Clear embarrassment.

And surprise based on shock.

Clang.

In the meantime, one Death Knight moved.

The Death Knight who would not be easily pushed back even if he fought Durak.

That Death Knight slowly took a step towards Cyan.

The sound of armor clanging can be heard.

For some reason, the two eyes looking at Cyan were trembling.

Suddenly, the Death Knight lowered his body.

And he knelt on one knee towards Cyan.

-Lord, my Lord!!!

The Death Knight shouted.

At the same time.

-Lord!!!

-Lord!!!

-Lord!!!

All 30 Death Knights knelt on one knee towards Cyan.

All the Death Knights knelt towards Cyan and paid their respects.

“…Eh…?”

Cyan couldn’t help but let out such a sound.
