The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 370 The clarion call for counterattack

Zun Zun wasn’t actually very good at healing, but he was surprisingly helpful at times like this.

For example, he could cut off the Death God's Divine Protection on Wilhelm's arm that was cut by his late wife to heal it, or Betty who fell into a coma due to consuming a large amount of magic power.

"Because the condition of the contract between Betty and me is that you cannot absorb other people's magic power except my own. Do you really have a solution?"

Natsuki Subaru was a little nervous.

Although Zun Zun led away the Angry Archbishop first, the desire that came later seemed a little too strong. In the end, Betty used her own huge magical power to protect Natsuki Subaru and fell into a coma.

"The method is very simple. The reason why Betty is unconscious is because your magic power is scarce, Subaru. Isn't it enough to just increase your magic power?"

"What to do?"

"Do this."

Zun Zun placed his hand on his back, transferring his own magical power, causing Natsuki Subaru to scream in pain.

"It hurts so much! What is this? Why does it hurt so much?!"

"Be patient, Subaru."

This is necessary. There is no other way. Zun Zun does not know the lich-type skill of Absorbing Touch, and Natsuki Subaru's door is very small and fragile. Zun Zun's magic power transmission is already very restrained.

An hour passed.

Natsuki Subaru lay on the ground groaning in pain.

"It's really useless." Zun Zun shook his hands, "The conversion rate is too weak. It took so much magic power to barely stabilize it. To be honest, you should work harder."

"It hurts... I'm sorry, I'll try harder."

If Natsuki Subaru was stubborn a year ago, he would have said something stubborn, but now he is much more mature and didn't do that. He came to Betty, who was breathing steadily, with a reassuring smile on his face.

There is another way, which is even simpler than this one.

He only needs to use the Dark Sword to sever the contract between Natsuki Subaru and Betty, then even without the need for Zun Zun to supply magic power to Betty, she will heal on her own. Or if he signs another contract with Zun Zun, the recovery will be even faster.

But that won't immediately increase your combat power.

Betty needs a long rest to recover her magic power, and it is not known whether it will affect the second contract between Natsuki Subaru and Betty, so this method was abandoned.

There is absolutely no suspicion of being a minotaur.

Absolutely not!

During the hour of transferring magic power to Natsuki Subaru, the Archbishop of Lust used the city hall's broadcast and increased the number of requirements to three.

In addition to the remains of the witch at the beginning, artificial elves and red demons were also added.

Needless to say, the artificial elf can almost be identified as Betty.

What was unexpected was that the term 'Red Demon Tribe' would appear. I thought it would be a gospel or something like that.

"Respected?"

"Ah, this is really surprising. They know of my existence even though we haven't even met. The Gospel... is really scary."

Zun Zun couldn't help but laugh.

The Gospel is a degraded version of the Book of Wisdom made by the Witch of Greed. Except for Betty and Roswaal, every Archbishop of Sin has his own Gospel, and they all act according to what is written in the Gospel.

Since the Gospel was created early on along with the Witch Cult, isn’t it interesting that it contains the story of Zun Zun, a person from another world?
At this time, someone started talking to me.

"That expression doesn't look like fear, but rather a fighting spirit. I feel relieved. If you, my Lord, were to become afraid as well, I really don't know who would be able to encourage you. But considering your personality, I don't think that day will ever come."

Turning around, he saw a knight wearing neat knight clothes, with purple hair and yellow eyes and an elegant smile on his face. He was also the guide who was respectfully called the Elf Warlock.

Zun Zun greeted him casually.

"Hey, Julius!"

"You're back. Are you okay?"

Natsuki Subaru breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's really rare that you, Natsuki Subaru, are so worried about me." Julius raised his lips slightly and said, "I just came back from patrol with them. I didn't expect these things to happen."

"And I! And brother, thank you for healing Mimi! I heard from that kid that it was thanks to you that you cut something off that Mimi was able to escape from danger, right?"

Ricardo, who came around the corner, shouted his thanks to Zun Zun.

I don’t know whether Gabriel didn’t convey his message clearly or Ricardo didn’t care about these things, but in any case, he still looked as energetic as he did a year ago.

But there was no time for catching up.

As the main forces continue to gather, a counterattack must be organized.

Seeing his companions gathering here one by one, even Natsuki Subaru gradually gained confidence.

Soon, Chilitaka, who had finished his business, rushed to the shelter, and as soon as they met, he made it clear that the witch's remains must not be handed over, because they were dangerous things that would cause the Minato City to disappear completely if they were moved.

Now that the four control towers are under control and the residents cannot get out, there is no way for them to evacuate.

After understanding this, everyone decided not to escape but to fight to the end.

"Then, the four control towers that were seized, and the city hall in the middle of the street. However, the order of attack has been decided. Subduing the city hall is the top priority - is this ok?"

Everyone shook their heads, indicating that there was no problem.

We can't leave the Archbishop of Lust alone. She has the ability to easily stir up other people's hearts. In addition, she controls the radio and can spread her voice to every corner of the city. This alone is enough to cause a threat. In addition, there are beings in this city who can amplify the emotions of others and share the emotions of the surrounding. If despair is further expanded through the radio, it may cause the city to explode with madness and fight each other, thus destroying the city.

"Then I'll go kill the Wrath Archbishop. Anyway, as long as I kill her first, I won't have to worry about the increase in madness..."

"No, Zun Zun, come with us too. You also have questions about what that guy said, right?"

Natsuki Subaru was talking about what Lust had just said about the Crimson Demons. And if they went out together, the chances of success would increase significantly.

The Archbishop of Sin is not so easy to deal with.

"Also, according to my guess, the Archbishops of Sin are probably not in the same group." Natsuki Subaru thought about it and said this guess, "The Archbishop of Greed seems to despise the Archbishop of Wrath and said a lot of bad things about him. I think they are not in the same group."

"In other words, we can attack them one by one."

"It would be nice if it were that way..."

"There's nothing to worry about." Zun Zun clapped his hands and said, "Whether those guys come or not, it makes no difference to us, because our ultimate goal is--"

He paused and looked at the faces of the people present.

"Kill them all!"

There were no cheers or applause, and the corner of the shelter was quite quiet, but this sentence was recognized by everyone.

Then, when the mobilization meeting was about to start—

"Um, sorry..."

Someone raised his hand awkwardly.

Everyone subconsciously looked at the remaining right hand that was raised, and wanted to see his face but were blocked by the knight's helmet.

"Al?"

"I really don't have the courage to say it out loud when being stared at like this, but..."

He placed his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, tilted his head with some embarrassment, and whispered, "I'm sorry, I can't go to the city hall. The situation has changed. I have to go meet up with the princess and say goodbye to you."

"Wait, wait...! Al, you're saying something like that at a time like this?"

"So I said I'm sorry, really, I'm very sorry."

Al accepted all of Natsuki Subaru's accusations and apologized for his own unrighteousness, but this was not something that could be solved by just an apology.

"Oh, really? Then you go ahead, Al."

"Zun Zun!?"

"Nothing much. Alco is a knight, and unlike the others, he hasn't reunited with his master yet, right?"

Holding down the stunned Natsuki Subaru.

Even with the protection of the sun, with all the Archbishops of Sin appearing in Minato City, not even Al dared to say that Priscilla would be safe.

"It's great that you caught on so quickly, bro."

Al is truly grateful.

But he seemed to feel very guilty for going against everyone's judgment and taking other actions, so he spoke again: "Although it is not my turn to say this, my brother is in the same position, right?"

His eyes fell on Natsuki Subaru.

"I think that I should prioritize my important woman over the city hall."

"Of course I care about Emilia too, and I understand what you said, but I believe this is the best choice. I'm sorry!"

Natsuki Subaru must get Emilia back, but not now.

Al saw the realization in his eyes, scratched his head and said nothing more. Just as Zun Zun approved of his leaving to find Priscilla, he had no right to dictate other people's actions.

"By the way, I forgot to mention that."

As if he suddenly remembered something, Zun Zun said to Al, "I saw Priscilla on 1st Street during the first broadcast. You can look for her there."

"Really? That's a great help...Also, what is the princess doing there?"

"shop."

"…As expected of a princess."

Al's expression couldn't be seen because he was wearing a helmet, but I guess he was speechless just like Subaru Natsuki, Anastasia, Crusch and the others.

Should I say that I have no sense of crisis, or that I am confident in myself?

"Thank you, brother." Al patted Zun Zun's shoulder gratefully. "By the way, regarding the intelligence and the return gift and compensation for not being able to help, let me give you a suggestion."

"suggestion?"

"——If you encounter Gluttony, don't let him know your real name."

The advice without any preface made everyone frown involuntarily.

Natsuki Subaru only felt a chill on his back, and the sharp claws were pressing against his heart mercilessly. When he came back to his senses, he wanted to ask for more information, but found that Al was no longer there, leaving only one sentence.

"If there is a next time, let's meet in Ping An, brother."
