The Demon Queen's Disciple
Chapter 58 - The Puppet

From the middle of the city streets are quite crowded, seen a man who continues to complain about the situation with a loud voice.

"Aaargh, it's a hassle. I intend to search for who created the blue flame, but why are there so many Holy Knights here? It's very troubling." said a man with brownish hair.

He was seen walking in the middle of the city with his leisure. Raise both hands and use them as support for his own head.

With a robe of reddish black with a hood that covered almost his entire head, he did not seem to care about the existence of the many Holy Knights around him.

Because that's it....

'Srruuugg!'

Hearing the mysterious man's words, of course the two Holy Knights just immediately stopped their footsteps.

"Stop! Who're you?" asked one of the Holy Knights while pointing his sword forward.

"Huh? I'm not suggesting you threaten me." replied the mysterious man.

"This guy...."

"Leave me and call for help. Even if it was just a glance but, Mana of this person...."

After nodding his head, one of the Holy Knights ran as fast as possible. Seek help from other Knights in the city.

Meanwhile, the townspeople who saw there was going to be a fight immediately went away. Close their doors and windows tightly.

"You sure? Against me alone?" asked the mysterious man with a smile.

"Goddess of Lunaria, please bless.... Blaar!!!"

Without warning or warning, the holy knight's body was thrown tens of meters away. They were piercing the various buildings behind them.

All of that happened just because the mysterious man pointed his right hand forward.

'Braaakk! A kreettakk!!'

Debris of collapsed buildings continues to fall. Overridden the body of the holy knight.

But thanks to his strong mithril armor, the wound he suffered was not much.

"Kugghh! You're.... I guessed it. Is that you the culprit?" asked the Holy Knight who was trying to get up by using the sword as his pedestal.

"My guy? Depending on your question, the answer may be yes or no." she replied with a laugh.

'Crettaac! Kreettakk! A sruuugg! It's ruuuggg!!'

Not long after, several Holy Knights began to arrive. Surrounding the figure of the mysterious man.

"Stop whatever you think! You're not gonna get away with us!" shouted the Holy Knight captain who came along with his 6 subordinates.

The two eyes of the mysterious man appeared wide open. Even his mouth also began to gap after realizing in what situation he was in.

"You think you can defend against several Holy Knights at once? Surrender you!" continue the captain.

It's just....

"Pff! Buahaha! You're.... You guys don't really think I'm cornered, do you?" ask the mysterious man who suddenly laughed out loud despite being in this kind of situation.

"What did you say?"

The Holy Knights at least had a B level of strength and above. While the number of Holy Knights surrounding the man was currently at 8 people.

Including his captain who had strength approaching the S level. A power that is not playful in the presence of ordinary people.

That is why no one dares to deal with the Church. Because the Holy Knights in the Church contain people who are very powerful and arguably dangerous to criminals.

But these?

"Aaah, sorry. Sure oes. I won't be able to win against you." replied the mysterious man while raising both hands. He signaled he had given up.

"Hmph! Just bluff. Good now...."

"That's if I had to think about the safety of this City. If not." he said while showing off a small glass bottle containing a mysterious black powder.

Without the Clairvoyance Eye though, anyone who saw the black powder could notice it. That in it, there is a very evil and terrible power.

The aura of darkness emitted by that black powder could be clearly felt, as if piercing the bodies of all the holy knights who saw it.

"Hobgoblin" said the mysterious man briefly.

The entire Holy Knight was surprised instead of playing. Those keywords could only be known by those related to the recent incident. The incident that claimed the lives of dozens of adventurers.

"You.... Don't tell me you're the culprit?"

With a wide smile, the mysterious man replied.

"If I let it go in this town, what do you think will happen?"

'Deg! The deg!'

The shadow that this city of Arcanum would be filled with eternal blue flames flashed through the minds of all those Holy Knights.

"Tu-wait first! Yep...."

But suddenly, the mysterious man's facial expression changed drastically. His smile that seemed as if all these situations were under his control, suddenly disappeared just like that.

"Curtain, have you come? I'm sorry, but I didn't come here to ruin this town. I'm just looking for the man who made that eternal blue flame. Goodbye." he replied as he walked slowly toward his back.

"You think you can just walk away?! All of them! Attack!" the captain's orders.

But the mysterious man still smiled casually. It was as if this situation was completely harmless to him.

With the incursion of the 8 Holy Knights, all of them ran with all their might while unsheathing their swords forward. Intend at least to injure the mysterious man's body.

Beyond a doubt all the holy knights exist....

just behind the mysterious man's body suddenly appeared a fairly complicated magic circle. In a fast time, the magic circle turned into a portal with a pitch-black color.

The same view is seen in the distance. Right behind that line of Holy Knights.

"Then, see you again" said the mysterious man while jumping behind. After his body passed through the portal, his body seemed to just disappear. Along with the portal.

"Damn it! He's escaped!" the Holy Knights.

At the same time....

From the portal that was behind that line of Holy Knights, appeared the figure of a woman with beautiful long silver hair.

The woman stood on the edge of the city street while holding a magic wand in her left hand. His clothes are in the form of white robes and purplish that are so charming.

"I'm late?" ask the woman.

'Sruuugg!!!'

Instantly, all of the Holy Knights who were there stared at the woman while kneeling.

"I'm sorry, Miss Alora. We didn't expect that the man had space magic like you." said the captain of the squad with a trembling body.

"No problem. At least we know, there's someone who intentionally caused all this." he replied in a fairly flat tone.

Alora is seen staring towards the last place the mysterious man was. Trying to see the remaining Mana flow by using his Clairvoyance Eye.

But unfortunately, the traces of Mana that looked very minimal. Only small particles remain that do not provide any information at all. Makes it difficult for him to determine the direction of the mysterious man's destination.

'It's really neat, there's not the slightest trace. Someone with this high space magic ability was in the kingdom without anyone noticing? Who her? What exactly is the purpose?' alora thought in her heart as she continued to gaze towards the last location the mysterious man stood.

The Holy Knights looked at Alora with fear. Naturally, because they failed in holding back the mysterious figure until Alora arrived.

Even so....

"Next time I'll catch him. Thank you for calling me." said Alora, the hero of the witch, before opening the portal and leaving town.

Leaving the Holy Knights in frustration for not having managed to catch the mastermind behind all these events.
