The Saint Class Reincarnator
CHAPTER 33: THE SLEEPING SAINT (3)
Day 27 unconsciousness.
On that day the main perpetrator and mastermind of all these tragedies was one of the Priests in the Church. He was the High Priest that most people would unexpectedly think of as a dangerous figure.
Assisted with the security knights sent by the crown prince, in command by Jean Jacques. They caught the culprit.
Director Sarion did not expect that. He did not expect, he trusted that person too much no more as a long-time comrade with him. Director Sarion with a cold expression spoke.
“Are you satisfied that destroying this place is a failure for you? High Priest, Fatimas.”
The High Priest Fatimas. The second person who was also involved in the foundation of the building of the Church. And also one of the party members with Director Sarion in their former glory days in purifying this world. However, he failed. That failure might be acceptable to Director Sarion's party.
Not with Fatimas. On their last trip in failure against the [Demon Lord], he made a contract with that demon. The most dangerous demon and full of ruse. In return Fatimas is given dark magic powers along with some demonic-created items.
And one of those items was the [Blood-Core Essence of Abyss] that triggered the appearance of the [Deception Eye] when forced displacement was made to send out targets and some objects of surrounding creatures, to the place where the coordinates have been set. And those coordinates are the Dungeon belonging to the demon Sabnock.
Fatimas asked when his hands had been locked. “Sarion, tell me, whether mankind can be sure and win against the greatest evil. You yourself saw it with your own eyes that we will never be able to win against an absolute being like the Demon King.”
“Because that's why you sold your soul to the devil. Is the devil's promise to you a form of salvation worth waiting for?”
Fatimas chuckled. “Although so in front of them, even you who are in the best state immediately lose your strength at that time.”
The words of Fatimas were like spears of fire that pierced and burned into the heart of Director Sarion. The old wounds in his memories opened up until the sinister shadow of that absolute figure made him tremble with goosebumps.
Unfortunately, Fatimas's words are not over. “You know that none of humanity will win against him. The will of this world has been determined since the beginning.” then he is increasingly crazy and hardened. “God has left this world. This damned world did not even get help from the gods. What else is humanity waiting for... Annihilation!”
“Bring him away!” Director Sarion who could not stand it anymore gave the order to immediately remove Fatimas from his presence. Even so Fatimas still looked towards him and said things that made him seem to be cursed with words.
“...What will you do with that thing?”
[The Blood-Core Essence of Abyss]. A crystal stone the size of two fists was in front of them on top of a low pillar.
“According to the order of the prince, I will destroy it. Doesn't matter?” answer Jean Jacques.
“Sure,” Director Sarion then looked towards the knights who were here who were sent directly on behalf of the crown prince. “Things like that, who wants them.”
Fortunately, the item was only disposable. If not, there will be more chaos that may be more dangerous than before. Bringing the target directly into the dungeon. Just thinking about it made everyone here shiver helplessly.
The nodding Jean Jacques instantly drew out his sword and smashed the pomegranate red stone to pieces. When crushed, the stone emitted black smoke, then it was no longer colored and became an ordinary stone.
“Then, I thank you very much for your help. Please send my thanks to prince.”
“Sure, Director.”
“...If there is no crown prince then since that incident the noble factions have been looking for a crack and entered to destroy this place.”
Jean Jacques thought of the crown prince to be right. It was not wrong if the High Priest Fatimas betrayed, then he must have formed a cooperation with the nobles who were enemies of the Church. Especially the royal family itself, the Queen.
The Prince knew from the beginning that it could only be done by the scheming brain of a Queen. And in order to thwart his rotten plans, the crown prince as the brain of the planning caught the culprit, who was one step ahead of the Queen, maybe now he is sitting down and devising a new strategy.
Hatred is uncertain. Sometimes anyone can be hated by the crown prince and even beggars. However, since the Church and the Royal Family were unrelated and conflicted with each other, this opportunity was used to its advantage in destroying the Queen's expectations.
Director Sarion had no idea, he was just part of the plan and this help was nothing but the initial stages of all the stages in existence.
Jean Jacques gulped. It was inconceivable that the next plan of the prince was the one he was after. Saint Alvius's.
Because Jean Jacques got the information he needed about her, he returned to the palace.
Day 38 unconsciousness.
After all that had happened and the news of the dungeon incident had been completely buried and in complete silence. None of the people ever talked about the tragedy.
Like, none of that ever happened in their lives. Their activities are as usual and continue without any obstacles.
Nor did the nobles appear to act in the slightest to open the wound.
Day 42 unconsciousness.
[No reply from ‘Monarch of Diligent’]
The message was sent several times and returned without power. Further answers were not given and his sentence did not change despite how many times he tried to get into the system channel.
When to wait?
Quarantine is getting heavier every day. The day may pass without any definite change of season. But, this wait felt so long, one day felt like several years and two days felt even more than years passed.
Yohan looked at the health room, behind the door was the figure of the prince who was soundly asleep and dreaming of something that might make him not want to wake up. True too, since this world is rotten of course no one wants to wake up from their beautiful dreams.
But, he can't. He could not accept that his sleeping little prince chose that beautiful dream instead of returning by his side. He can't. Then Yohan just left without continuing anything else. Usually he would continue to want to open the door and then be stopped by the officer guarding the place.
Then now why did he just pass through that health room and not intend to open that door?
[No reply from ‘Monarch of Diligent’]
He had already gotten the answer even without doing anything.
Tears dripped from her cheeks and Yohan rubbed her firmly and she kept walking on continuing her duties as a Paladin disciple.
Day 48 unconsciousness.
Director Sarion got word that Fatimas, whose title had been revoked and removed from the Church. Where he was in prison in the palace, underwent a strange change. That is, he went mad and turned after he left the Church.
The change was more and more active until the dark aura from his body and skin blackened. Then slowly grew a small horn on his head.
[Devil Transformation]. What is known is that a number of people in the palace. Because it is dangerous and threatening with terrible pressure. In that instant also a decree appeared, and Fatimas was sentenced to death.
Contracting with a demon, then making a dangerous incident, then he turned into a demon. It's enough to make him the most guilty prisoner and not worth living.
