Without looking back, just by the smell of smoke in the air, the female saint with long ponytail, jeans and a jacket was already convinced of the person coming.
Slowly walking behind her was a man who dyed his hair red, wore earrings, and had a barcode tattoo under his right eye. He could be identified as a bad priest at a glance.
"Ah...all the people we arranged outside have been killed."
Stiyl Magnus, the young genius magician who belongs to the "Church of Necessary Evil" sighed, without much surprise in his tone.
After all, the opponent this time is the ultimate weapon of less than twenty people in the world. It is normal for ordinary magicians to be unable to stop her.
"But that guy seems to have held back. Except for the two unlucky guys who were caught in the collapsed building, the rest of the support team only suffered superficial injuries."
He lit the cigarette butt in his mouth expressionlessly, which was somewhat beyond Steele's expectations.
Considering Brunhilde's previous actions, it is hard to imagine that the guy who caused the chaos and tragedy of the five major associations in Northern Europe would act in such an appropriate manner.
"Is this so..."
The cold Hong Kong wind blew across his face, and Kanzaki lowered his eyes slightly, thinking helplessly.
(...She still escaped.)
She had no intention of boasting about her victory. Brunhild, who was both a saint and a Valkyrie, was indeed a strong opponent, but judging from the battle situation, she had the upper hand before.
The other party is obviously not a newbie or the kind of stubborn person who likes to fight to the end.
Realizing that she was at a disadvantage, the female warrior with refined skills waved her sword, decisively switched from offense to defense, and began to conserve her energy to look for an opportunity to escape with a blow.
The original intention of Kanzaki here is mainly to obstruct, but also to take into account the degree of damage to the surrounding environment in the aftermath of this encounter.
If one is undecided and the other wants to leave, the outcome will naturally become what it is now.
Do you want to continue chasing?
Kanzaki was thinking with some uncertainty, sorting out the current situation.
The defeat of the "Iron Stake Engraved with Knowledge" heralds the complete fall of the five major Nordic societies, which also means that Brunhild's revenge goal should have been achieved.
Although her behavior had a cruel side, in general it did not further expand the disaster. This was also done by another mysterious saint that Kanzaki and the others were tracking. The two of them seemed to have already agreed on this issue.
A consensus was reached.
The only thing that people care about now is whether Brunhild's collection of spiritual equipment has any other dangerous purpose.
"Steele...the saint who is tentatively ranked seventh, is there any news now?"
Looking at the lights in the distance with his 8.0 vision, Kanzaki pondered Brunhild's next move and asked his partner.
If she or they want to do something else, then it is very likely that they will meet in this situation.
Must be prepared in advance!
"About this...it happens that the people in the liaison team have new instructions, tsk."
"?"
Sensing the obvious displeasure in Steele's words, Kanzaki paused and looked over involuntarily.
"Our work here may be coming to an end. That woman seems to have received information about the 'Seventh Saint' from the royal family. The information is said to have been passed back by their guard maid who was studying overseas. She has a very high level of intelligence.
Credibility."
"The people in the royal family were also surprised. They had clearly ignored repeated orders to return to the country, and yet they went out of their way to report this incident."
The tall red-haired magician said this, and the faint firelight around his mouth stimulated the dull air from time to time.
Of course, the information from an ordinary guard maid is not that valuable, but what she said——
"Is that that person?"
Kanzaki also recalled in surprise.
Maid of the Royal Guards, Sylvia.
She is a saint just like her, but she is not in the country all year round. To most people, she is an existence whose name is only heard but whose person is not seen.
I didn’t expect that even she was related to this incident in Northern Europe? It really involved a lot of incredible people.
"So, what's going on now?"
Kanzaki frowned and asked.
She suddenly had the illusion that she was being toyed with by her own people. She was obviously at the center of the incident, but she was lagging behind on key information.
"Heh... 'Let's end this matter here. You can come back. I have other important tasks for you~'... That's probably what the woman meant."
Reciting it with a headache expression, Steele seemed to be able to see a certain supreme bishop holding his hands and speaking in a nondescript tone, sitting deep in the cathedral with a smile on his face.
"What?!"
Kanzaki's shock was beyond words.
The chaos of the Nordic Magic Association, the purpose of the Valkyrie Brunhild, the disappearance of the seventh saint, and the strange movements of the leader of the Golden Association, can we just let go of all of this?!
Kanzaki was not the kind of person who liked to gossip behind his back, but he also wondered why the supreme bishop made such a rash decision this time.
However, Steele saw things more thoroughly than she did and gave a more reasonable explanation.
"Even if we continue to stay, nothing will be solved, or in other words, there is no need for us to solve it at all, right?"
He exhaled and stood next to Kanzaki.
"The Nordic magic circle and our Christian system are not related to each other in the first place. This time it can be said that the situation is special."
"Now that the top five major associations have collapsed, and the two saints at the head of the turmoil have restrained themselves, 'they' certainly don't want us 'outsiders' to continue to meddle in our own business, right?"
In other words, no matter how chaotic the situation is now, it won't be any more chaotic. Rather, it would be better to say that as the saints stop taking action, the incident will slowly subside soon. How to deal with it after that is a matter for the magic culture circle.
Irrelevant parties can leave, that's probably what it's all about.
Moreover, the information they want most, about the 'seventh saint', has been collected from sources unknown to them.
After looking into it this way, they really have no necessary reason to stay here.
There was a hint of clarity in Kanzaki's eyes.
As for the movements of the Golden Association...it's not just a day or two since that group of people had a 'conspiracy', right? This kind of thought can actually make people feel relieved.
"……All right."
She turned around and put away her weapon. Although Kanzaki didn't think it could be said that the incident was over, she still accepted the result.
‘Lend a helping hand to those who cannot be saved’… Perhaps, there is no need to lend a helping hand here.
she thought.
Next...
As if he thought of something, Kanzaki's expression became a little sad.
The silver moonlight fell on the two magicians, quietly, but a little more desolate.
at the same time.
In a hidden church in the far east, a young nun wearing a pure white nun's uniform had her hands folded and was praying quietly.
besides……
…
"...Who are you?"
Brunhild, who stopped and put his hand on the hilt of his sword, asked warily.
Although she had just experienced a fierce chase, she had not lost her fighting strength.
Brunhild lowered his gaze.
There, standing with a man in black, was a petite blond girl who looked to be only eleven or twelve years old.
"First meeting, Brünnhilde Ektebel."
She raised her chin slightly and said her name.
"My name is Badway."
"The leader of the magic association "Scarlet Sunshine", Levinia Badway."
