Chapter 150
Just before Priest Borennus succumbed to ‘a certain threat’ and persuaded the White Mage Tower to urge the resolution for the Second Crusade.
It was around the time the Crusaders of the Great Demon Alliance had just returned, following the Martyr’s Duel that determined the goddess’s will.
In the labyrinth city of Labyrinthos, officially dedicated to the Church by the Viscount of Saxony, a great disturbance arose.
It was the artifact’s rampage.
Unable to control the darkness dwelling within the Demon King’s artifact, the rampaging entity, ‘Edward Dules’, charged straight towards the cathedral.
He slaughtered the Knights Templar guarding the site like mere foot soldiers.
Regardless of the circumstances, Edward is an S-rank adventurer and a formidable powerhouse, further amplified by the rampage of a powerful artifact.
And while he was there, he slaughtered the priests of the Sistina Goddess Cult, taking advantage of the city’s plunge into a Great Depression…
The adventurers’ revolt began. To reclaim the tithes and wealth the church had seized from them.
Law and order collapsed, and rampant looting and crime erupted throughout the city. However, the areas suffering the most damage were primarily the major parishes controlled by the church forces.
It was around that time that the ‘Black Prince,’ after a duel to the death, turned his unit’s banner and returned to the labyrinth city.
The sight of a city burning in the distance came into view.
