chapter 6

Merlin spoke indifferently. With his sword drawn, he walked to the front and faced the majestic 100,000-strong crusader army of the Church alone.

Wind, mixed with rain, messed up his blond hair. There is an indescribable calmness on his face.

“Since the stage has been set up, as the protagonist, it’s my turn to make an entrance!”

It turns out he’s Lucifer III.

The Fist Demon Palace’s master, the Demon Lord.

Why can’t I feel any mana or auror from him?

He doesn’t even possess any demonfolk characteristics. He’s looks just like a human.

Yet he is really strong, unlike what the archbishop claimed.

But he is still not the opponent of the white whale. I know it, because I’ve seen it’s power with my own eyes.

As Alice stood up slowly, doubts arose in her mind.

“Lucifer! You finally showed yourself! Do you still recognize me? I will pay you back double for the humiliation of the last crusade.” The archbishop spoke exhilaratedly.

“Emmmm…” Merlin thought for a while, and then asked while picking his ear, “Who are you again?”

The archbishop’s face flushed with anger, and he said through gritted teeth, “Lucifer! You’re as arrogant as ever!”

“Oh… I remembered…” Merlin smiled and said teasingly, “Aren’t you that nonsense-spouting charlatan from the last crusade? As soon as I drew my sword, you were so scared that you pied your pants and fled helter-skelter. You’re really lucky. If you hadn’t run away, we wouldn’t have seen each other today again.”

“You…” The archbishop pointed at Merlin, choked, and nearly passed out, “You scoundrel! Let’s see how much longer you can be arrogant! This time, in order to wash away the humiliation, I brought the crystallization of the Church’s wisdom, the Church’s strongest weapon!”

“Oh.” Merlin glanced at the white whale and gave the archbishop a thumbs up, “Then you’re awesome~!”

The archbishop has an expressionless look on his face, feeling insulted. Merlin’s contemptuous attitude deeply hurt his ego.

Next, his face turned gloomy, as if its about to rain. Four words emerged from between his clenched teeth —

“Son, of, a, whore!”

The archbishop raised his staff and chanted. After a series of changes, the white whale fired a concentrated mana beam, which possesses tremendous might. Everyone’s expression changed dramatically.

Lilith’s complexion paled, clearly shocked. She didn’t expect the Church to have such an amazing weapon.

“To have such might, let me applaud you. It seems that you have worked very hard. However, that’s all.”

When the mana beam, which resembles the scorching sun, arrived, Merlin just raised a hand and made the terrifying attack dissipate.

Lilith saw the mana beam turn into countless ripples and bloom like fireworks in front of Merlin. Surprisingly, it didn’t hurt him in the least.

“Amazing, as expected of you, older brother!”

Lilith couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration. Although she wasn’t hurt, but the shock wave made her feel pressure. Sure enough, her older brother is the strongest!

The mana beam dissipated completely, yet Merlin doesn’t even have a speck of dust on him. This clearly shows how strong he is.

Standing in front of the Demon Palace with a magic sword in hand, his blond hair is a little messy, his handsome face carries a disdainful smile, and his gorgeous silk clothes flutter in the cold wind.

“This is the strongest weapon of your Church? What a joke. To be honest, it’s weak.”

Following this statement, the opposing side fell into a brief silence, and then —

Everyone showed looks of horror.

Their jaws dropped…
