Warhammer 30k and the Great Tomb of Nazarick

Chapter 88: The Rescued Paladin of Battelle's Guerrilla Warfare
Remedios Castelaudi
The leader of the Paladins of the Holy Kingdom of Lobel, the strongest warrior of the Holy Kingdom who has received white, one of the nine colors of the Holy Kingdom's highest glory, and one of the strongest Paladins of mankind.

From the perspective of mortals in another world, Remedios is a true genius. She officially entered the realm of heroes at a young age and wields Cephalicia, one of the Four Holy Swords.

With time, she might be able to enter the realm of abnormal people like Fluder. She even has a beautiful appearance, so her future is limitless.

Of course, Remedios is not without flaws. Maybe all the nutrients are absorbed by her muscles. Contrary to Remedios' outstanding combat wisdom, her brain is really not very bright.

But this was not a problem for her.

Her sister, Quirato Custodio, who is only two years younger than her, also entered the realm of heroes very early. She serves as the highest priest of the Holy Kingdom Temple and the head of the priest corps.

Unlike Remedios, Quilat not only possesses the fighting power of a hero, but also has the brains that a hero should have. When Quilat is around, Remedios doesn't need to think about anything and just needs to listen to her sister's commands.

In addition, the ruler of the Holy Kingdom at that time, Holy Queen Calca Besares, was a truly honest, noble, and wise monarch who cared about the people. She was also a monarch truly worthy of the service of the two sisters, and was also their best friend.

Remedios had been very happy for the first half of her life, and then everything changed.

The Demon Emperor Jaldabaoth conquered the various demihuman forces that had been hostile to the Holy Kingdom for many years, and then led the demihuman army to invade the Holy Kingdom. The Holy Kingdom suffered heavy losses in just one encounter.

The fate of the Holy Princess and her sister Quilat was unknown, and only Remedios managed to escape with a group of people.

Remedios, who was originally only responsible for fighting, encountered for the first time a situation where she, as a leader, did not make any decisions.

She didn't know what to do and could only seek help everywhere, but she was repeatedly rejected. In the end, only the Sorcerous Kingdom responded to her request.

The Sorcerer King Ainz Ooal Gown himself also accompanied them alone to support the Holy Kingdom.

Remedios had never trusted this undead who had just massacred tens of thousands of the Kingdom's soldiers. She intuitively knew that Ainz was not a good person and must be plotting something.

But he didn't know when his subordinates began to be turned against by Ainz, and he was isolated without realizing it.

But it doesn’t matter, as long as the Holy Queen can be rescued, everything will be fine.

Remedios's plan was simple. She was to find someone to defeat the Demon Emperor Jaldabaoth, rescue her sister who could use fifth-tier magic to resurrect the dead, and then find the body of the Holy Queen and have her sister resurrect the Holy Queen.

But everything did not develop as he expected. His sister Kuirat had died long ago, and the Saint Queen also died...

In the end, Demon Emperor Jaldabaoth was defeated by Sorcerer King Ainz Ooal Gown, and the Holy Kingdom was ruled by the Holy Queen's brother Caspond.

Although it was tragic, Remedios could only admit it. But when did a religion that worshipped Ainz Ooal Gown appear?
The leader is still his former follower Ning Ya.

Something was wrong. Although she couldn’t tell exactly what was wrong, Remedios’s simple brain intuitively felt a strong sense of disharmony.

There is something wrong with Ainz Ooal Gown, and there is something wrong with the current Holy King as well.

Remedios shouted loudly, hoping to awaken the crowd that had already begun to go crazy, and then she died, died in an accident in a public place.

At least that's what was announced to the public.

When facing the assassins sent by the Great Tomb of Nazarick, Remedios herself believed that she was dead.

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself locked in a room filled with torture instruments and a strong smell of blood, and her limbs had been sawed off.

The Demon Emperor Jaldabaoth, who was supposed to be dead, appeared before him again, and the new Holy King Caspond knelt at his feet respectfully.

Demon Emperor Jaldabaoth smiled and told Remedios the truth.

That absurd and cruel truth.

It turns out that my suspicions were right from the beginning, and the truth is even more vicious than my worst thoughts.

All the tragedies of the Holy Kingdom were planned by the Sorcerer King Ainz Ooal Gown himself. The real name of the Demon Emperor Jaldabaoth is Demiurge, the class guardian of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

The Demon King who was killed before was just a subordinate summoned by it. As for the Holy Queen's brother Caspond, he had long been replaced by a monster.

The Holy Kingdom has now been swallowed up by the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

Remedios nearly gnashed her teeth when she learned the truth.

Demiurge simply told her with a smile that these truths were a reward for fools like her.

Now that she had been buried outside and officially dead, she would not be allowed to die here unless she asked for it. Of course, Demiurge did not say that he would not let Remedios die even if she asked for it.

Demiurge's original plan was to get rid of Remedios who was in the way, but killing her directly would have been a waste. In this different world, heroic units above level 30 were extremely rare. Now that he had captured one, he could use her for various experiments.

Such thoughts probably accounted for a small part of the discussion, and the main reason was that Demiurge simply wanted to see strong humans suffer and go crazy.

The days that followed were torture for Remedios. The torture demons sent by the Great Tomb used all kinds of methods on her in order to make her completely collapse.

Remedios persisted. She didn't know how much time had passed.
She only knew that she had to pass on the truth, to protect the Holy Kingdom and its people. This was her sister's and the Holy Queen's expectation.

Before that, I must not die.

Remedios persisted day after day, and her tenacity amazed Demiurge, who then came up with more vicious ideas.

Sometimes Remedios would be healed and brought to a beautiful and comfortable room, sometimes even to the dungeon, and then Demiurge would bring some nobles who had already completely surrendered to the Great Tomb.

Remedios knew these nobles, but they had already sold their souls to the Great Tomb, and all they had left for Remedios and the others were their filthy desires.

No matter how much Remedios begged, they refused to take out any information and were only interested in trampling on the dignity of the Holy Kingdom’s once strongest warrior.

Further on, there are Remedios’ former subordinates, the people she saved, and the game planned by Demiurge becomes more and more vicious.

But Remedios survived. She couldn’t die before the Holy Kingdom was saved. She didn’t dare to die, and today she had waited for a turning point.

She saw a sturdy man in a cloak suddenly break into the cell and eliminate all the torture demons like chopping melons and vegetables.

Then the strong man with resolute features put her down, but he seemed helpless about her injuries.

During this torture, Remedios no longer had any control over her mouth and tongue, so she could only signal with her eyes.

The torture demon itself was not of a high level, and could only use some simple healing magic. It was fine for ordinary torture to keep people alive, but the intensity of its magic was too great for Remedios, and Demiurge demanded that Remedios must not be allowed to die.

To torture the demon, all they could do was prepare a few more bottles of healing potions. It happened that these potions were all produced by the Carn Village under the Great Tomb, so they could be used on Remedios as an experiment.

There just happened to be a few bottles of healing potions on a table not far away.

Remedios kept signaling Bartel with her eyes to look at the potion on the table. Bartel reacted very quickly and immediately understood what Remedios meant.

He picked up the potion and came to Remedios.

"If it is, move your right eye. If it is not, move your left eye. Do you hear me?"

Remedios moved her right eye.

"Is this thing used for healing?"

Remedios moved her right eye again.

"oral?"

Remedios moved her right eye again, and Bartel understood, so he fed the healing potion to Remedios.

The effect was comparable to that of a third-tier magic potion for treating severe injuries. After entering the body, the potion took effect quickly. It couldn't regenerate Remedios's broken limbs, but at least it stabilized her condition a lot.

"Can I still take this medicine?"

This time Remedios nodded weakly, and Bartel fed the remaining potion to Remedios. After taking a few bottles of potion, Remedios finally recovered her basic human appearance, with a tongue and teeth. However, her broken limbs could not be regenerated. Obviously, the third-tier magic alone was not enough.

"Thank you."

Remedios said weakly to Bartel, who had saved her.

"You're welcome. Let's get out of here now."

As he spoke, Bartel found a piece of cloth and wrapped Remedios around himself. At this time, the enemies in the ranch also noticed the movement below and rushed out of the room.
