Chapter 73

A handful of people ran away as soon as Veno issued his warning.

“Stay where you are! It is simply an empty threat to frighten you! The town only appears to be purified, but it is a mere trick on the eyes. And then, he will…”

Virage whistled, summoning the Bio Corpse Hydra to his side.

And its back… split open? Virage then climbs inside.

“You cannot possibly touch me if I command my ultimate weapon from the inside!”

The priest’s voice came through the hydra’s mouth.

It’s like he’s piloting that amalgamation as if it were a mech.

Sure, it does, Veno. Whatever makes you happy.

But you and I both know that you only casted those spells ‘cause you were aching to try them out.

“Yeah… well, I’m glad that we’re good. Actually, Celes, we should probably hurry to save your sister. There might be more of Virage’s people coming after us.”

“And even now, you still worry about me… you truly are a man of good character, Cohgray.”

Oops. Celes looked a little shocked.

“It’s the second coming!”

“Lord Holy Dragon!”

“The legends have come true!”

Everybody seemed to be overjoyed with how things turned out. They gather around me and tossed me in the air.

“Whoa! Hey, hold on!”

“Eek!”

This is crazy!

“Please, hold on!”

“Muu?!”

“You two are with the Lord Holy Dragon as well, right? Up you go then!”

With that, people from all religions reveled together with the whole town for today’s monumental victory.

There was a ceremony in the middle of all that celebration… at least it gave me a moment to speak to Celes and the rest of them.

Well, the people of the Sacred Teachings have already sealed off the curse-ridden prayer altar yesterday and are now taking care of it.

Veno told me he’d look further into the issue later.

Oh, and it seems like Wayne’s issue was most likely related to the infectious altar too.

A few days before symptoms started hitting him, his acquaintance showed up to his home with a Teachings symbol in hand.
