Capítulo 42: Holy Inquisition 2
The moment Lilith and Katrina went up to the next floor of the apartment they found Rene looking out of the window with an expression of astonishment.
Beyond the window a scene out of an apocalyptic movie was unfolding, several pillars of light were rising into the skies and at the same time explosions were reverberating throughout the city of Ataraxia.
The darkened sky was constantly illuminated by a white sphere of energy simulating a sun.
-Unbelievable - muttered Rene looking up at the sky.
Lilith on the other hand turned her attention to Aqua who was sitting comfortably in an armchair, her light blue hair waved as she turned her gaze to Lilith.
-Lucas didn't leave me orders other than to take care of Rene - Aqua said as her body started to grow, leaving her girlish form in the past she now looked like a woman of about 20 years old, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she is as beautiful as Lilith.
And of course Lilith was irritated every time Aqua took on that form.
Katrina did not know what to say and could only blink her eyes unable to speak.
-We have to leave this place, we're going back to hell-Lilith said in exasperation.
Katrina said nothing but felt a strange sensation as she listened to Lilith's words.
-I suppose we don't need to prepare anything else? -Aqua asks, thinking of Lucas.
Leaving Alexia aside, they do not feel much attachment to that world, however that does not apply to Lucas, he feels the desire to protect that world since it is the world where he was born and raised.
-Right, most likely they want to find Rene so we must move as fast as possible- explained Lilith.
Since Rene is a Saint, if she leaves the city Ataraxia, there would no longer be any reason for the knights sent by the pope to attack the city, or at least that is what Lilith thought, but to do so, Rene would have to show herself and that would put her in a dangerous position, however the same could be said with Katrina, she is also a saint.
-The hunters should be deploying their soldiers to deal with the attack, they should slow them down a bit-Katrina interjected.
Lilith who heard his words had already considered that scenario and in her mind had already developed a plan.
Although Lilith firmly believed that they could repel the attack, it was better not to do so, given the situation it would be an unnecessary risk.
Aqua turned her gaze to Katrina, she did not understand what that woman was doing in that place, although she knew her, they were not necessarily friends.
Lilith, noticing Aqua's expression, spoke up.
-She is also a potential target, she also needs protection - Lilith explained.
Hearing his words, Aqua could understand the situation to some extent and nodded in response.
-But .... Is it okay to escape? - Aqua asks worried
As she said that, memories of hell come back to her mind.
-Evading unnecessary dangers is something that is fine, there is no reason to fight them, let's just leave to avoid being in this whole situation - Lilith said firmly believing that fighting unnecessary battles is simply a waste of time, however if Lucas wished to do so, she would have no problem in helping him.
-Let's wait a moment- Lilith half turned around and entered her room.
She still had to contact Harriet
Currently she should be close to the city, according to her last report she should be 50 km away from the city.
Lilith brought out a device similar to a cell phone, although it was not the same it worked exactly the same, this device was recently incorporated to be able to talk to the receiver no matter the distance or the area
Lilith called Harriet, almost instantly she answered.
-Harriet, return to Ataraxia and meet Lucas at Alexia's house -Lilith quickly gives directions however there is no immediate response.
-Lilith, I really wish I could, but... I'm being chased - Harriet replied, her voice sounding agitated.
Lilith frowned as she listened to her response.
-What do you mean - Lilith asks back.
-I encountered a church squadron and for some reason they started attacking me, I'm running away from them - I'm running away from them.
Lilith sighs in exasperation when she hears the news, but does not lose her composure.
-Can you finish them ? -Lilith asks.
-I can do it, but it would take a long time, they are not exactly few in number and they have some Elite warriors among their ranks-
Hearing Harriet's response, Lilith decided on a plan of action.
-How far are you from the city? -Lilith asks.
Depending on how far away Harriet was, the plan would be more or less simple, Lilith hoped that she was still close to the surroundings.
-About 20 miles from the city-Harriet replied.
-Unlock the seal and destroy them, come back as fast as you can-
-Understood- Harriet nodded and cut the connection.
-Now, we have to distract them.
Lilith thinks that the best plan to choose is to show Rene, and that probably most of them do not know her face, except for the officers of each cavalry and probably only have a superficial view, and the same would apply with Katrina.
-well...-
After saying that, she left the room
-Girls, we'll do this- The moment Lilith spoke they all turned their gaze towards her.

Lucas moved toward his mother's house.
In front of his eyes, a landscape straight out of a movie unfolded vividly.
On the outskirts of the city, thousands of knights, wearing black armor were entering the city, flash, flames and all kinds of attacks were being launched towards the buildings of the city.
-What are they thinking?- murmurs Lucas incredulously.
It was well known that it was forbidden to involve normal people in the affairs of the supernatural world, but here they were, thousands of knights attacking a neutral city in which both worlds coexisted, hiding from each other, Lucas could easily identify them.
-The Knights of the Pope-
However, as Luke watched such a scene pass by, he also noticed that several hunters began to intercept the knights who were visibly threatening the peace of the city.
Deciding to ignore such a scene Lucas increased the speed of his run, he did not want to fly as he could be easily identified.
But he was stopped by a bullet of light that was directed at him, Lucas turned his gaze towards the person who had indiscriminately attacked him.
It was a tall, stocky man wearing silver armor, on his back a large sword hung, Luke was surprised to see the sword easily half the size of the man.
-It doesn't look like you come with good intentions- Lucas was not particularly concerned about the man in front of him.
But he was receiving a great deal of hostility from the man.
-Nasty demon, hand over the saint- Demanded the man in silver armor.
Lucas immediately understood what he was referring to
-Saint? - Lucas answered trying to sound confused.
The armored man clucked his tongue and was irritated, but Lucas could not see his face, since the silver armor covered every part of his body.
-Don't play dumb, you piece of shit, I, Commander Kurogane, in the name of the pope, will exterminate the heretics who do not comply with the divine revelation- He shouts trying to intimidate Lucas
However, Lucas continued to feign ignorance at the man's words.
-I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean, but if you want to fight, I'll be glad to- Lucas replied with determination.
He had no real intention of fighting, but he would not hesitate if necessary.
-Cursed Demon- The commander took the sword on his back with both hands and prepared to attack Lucas.
Although it was not very well known, it was often said that the top representatives of the church had a conflicting personality, although Lucas witnessed this behavior first hand, he hoped that this situation would not turn hostile, but quickly everything fell apart.
-Tell me your name demon, I will purify you in the name of our God-
Commander Kurogane increases his divine power that was granted by his God, although it was not the first time Lucas saw that kind of power, he was always surprised, as a kind of white flame burst from his body and covered his body extending all the way to his sword
-Lucas Valentine- Lucas said disinterestedly.
-Undertaker- said the commander in astonishment and increasing his divine power even more.
-Oh... I think they also usually call me by that name- Lucas seemed unfazed by the commander's words, but inwardly he cursed his past self for nicknaming himself that way, if he could go back to the past he would definitely use a better nickname
-May God's grace guide you- murmurs the commander.
He swings his sword diagonally downward and a blade of divine power shoots out from his blade toward Lucas.
-Well... If that's all you can do, you'd better go.-
Lucas extended his hand in front of his chest, a drop of water appeared on the tip of his finger and shot out towards the blade of divine power destroying it in the process but that was not all, the small drop of water followed its path until it hit the sword of the commander who could barely use his sword to cover himself from the impact.
-I don't have a problem with following, but I'm not a fan of killing - says Lucas complaining.
Commander Kurogane, who could barely withstand the impact, gasped for breath
You, I will never give up! - a pillar of divine energy emerged from the Kurogane commander.
-I don't understand why they like to waste so much power doing that- Lucas complained in annoyance.
For Lucas, doing such actions were only useful to finish fights quickly against an overwhelming number of enemies weaker than himself, but when you face someone much more powerful, it simply becomes useless.
Lucas used to do it constantly, he liked to see the violet color of his energy, but when he discovered that by doing that, all he was doing was wasting his power, he stopped doing it, unless he wants to overwhelm a considerable amount of enemies, but even then, it wasn't that necessary, using the [King's Pressure] skill he can easily overwhelm them.
-Divine Possession!- shouts Commander Kurogane as he raises his greatsword to the sky.
The sky began to crack as if it were glass shattering.
Lucas who watched such a scene was astonished, he knew that there were people with the ability to summon deities, but he did not think he would meet one so soon, but he let him continue with his invocation.
Lucas turned his attention back to his mother's house, there he could feel her, the barrier around her house was still intact and there was no sign of anyone supernatural approaching.
A blinding light emerged from the pillar.
There
A God descended
