I love time travel the most!

"Those who are good at healing magic are really troublesome."

"Don't misunderstand, my shoulder didn't heal itself, but rather the tiny spirits in the atmosphere took care of me and helped me heal it."

Looking at Reinhard's smiling face, he seemed unaware of how outrageous his words were.

What does it mean to care about you and offer to help?

That’s too exaggerated!

"Also, I think you should be more concerned about how I got back. It was thanks to it."

Reinhard spread out his left hand, where there was something that looked like a tortoise shell.

Those who know it will recognize it as the Imperial Arm that can mark targets and teleport instantly—Dimensional Array: Shangri-La!

"This was lent to me by someone else, and it's a really useful item. To be honest, thanks to it, I was able to travel quickly between the capital and other places, and appear here in time to defeat you."

"Who cares about that kind of thing! Since it won't work in the sky, we'll just bury you in the ground this time!"

Regulus, who always insisted that no one should interrupt him, now interrupted others, his face contorted as he charged forward recklessly.

"Just as Kobayashi said, you become more and more impulsive when you get excited."

Although his amateurish skills alone wouldn't affect Reinhard, he was absolutely unable to get close this time.

"Kobayashi, Kobayashi, Kobayashi, Kobayashi, you keep saying that name! Is he that important? And speaking of Kobayashi, who exactly is he?!"

"Xiaolin is my best friend."

That's not what I was asking!

Reinhard's answer was forceful, but unfortunately it was not accepted.

Facing the white-haired youth rushing towards him, the Sword Saint sighed and said, "Unfortunately, even knowing your weakness, I alone cannot defeat you."

"Huh? You're only now realizing reality and want to admit defeat? No way! Even if you admit defeat, I'll definitely shove this eyesore of yours into the depths of the earth and see if you ever come back!"

Reinhard ignored the mockery or even the shouting, and instead asked the other party a question.

"Do you think what I did to you before was a waste of effort and a pointless exercise? I should have said it before, if it was also a necessary step to victory, I would not have hesitated to put in that effort."

"what?!"

Indeed, the Bishop of Greed is very powerful and is not affected by external factors. To defeat him, a prerequisite is needed—to find his original heart, but unfortunately, the prerequisite cannot be met at present.

“That doesn’t mean there’s no way to defeat you. You seem to be able to stabilize your state and therefore not get hurt, but you can’t stabilize your position, as you can see from my constant beatings just now.”

"You guy...!"

Just as Regulus was about to touch Reinhard, Reinhard dodged, and at the same time a dark shadow crashed into him with lightning speed, and the two of them flew backward together.

what? !

This person is...

"Hehehe, you're so easy to fool, you take the bait with just a little temptation."

The alluring voice in his ear only fueled the white-haired youth's anger.

Looking down at the drooling, berserk boy in his arms, Regulus cursed Badenkathos for losing his mind and causing him trouble again. Just as he was about to throw him away, a purple light array suddenly lit up beneath their feet.

this is……

As if answering his question, Reinhardt explained, "This is a passage to another dimension, and theoretically no one can come back. Of course, neither can you. So goodbye, no, goodbye forever."

"You...you bastard—!"

Amidst Regulus's furious and resentful roar, a flash of light appeared, and the two figures in the formation vanished.

Undoubtedly, I reduced Reinhard's combat power, since it's not impossible for him to obtain the blessing of "unrestrictedly striking Regulus's heart." However, this would have resulted in an instant kill, making the story pointless and pointless. As for Sausage, her combat power was slightly increased; otherwise, facing the Archbishop of Gluttony would have been quite troublesome, so I wisely skipped the battle. Furthermore, using the Imperial Arm to send away the two Archbishops of the Great Sin is a foreshadowing element that can be revisited, given the uncertainty of whether a Watergate storyline will be included (next year's third season, with the intention of riding the wave of popularity). Just like Shadow said, the protagonist always needs a powerful opponent as a foil; otherwise, the story would be utterly uninteresting. I even had a title in mind at that time—you might not know what it means to control an endless supply of water; we generally only use two words to describe such a person: a god! A human being, comparable to a god!

Chapter 394 So you call yourself Sloth?

"Kobayashi? Hey, Kobayashi! Are you listening? What are you daydreaming about?"

"I just suddenly realized that people should never boast about being invincible or anything like that."

"what is that?"

"……nothing."

Natsuki Subaru looked bewildered.

Concerned about Emilia's safety, he didn't catch the joke being thrown his way. Only Kobayashi knew what had happened, and with no one to share it with, he was somewhat disheartened.

"By the way, we were just talking about the Archbishops of Sin."

"Oh?"

Show interest in this sensitive word and signal him to continue.

Natsuki Subaru is tasked with a hunting operation against the Witch Cult, which could be done even by monkeys. However, the most important task, the Archbishop of Sin, requires someone to ambush the target and explain the situation, as this is crucial to the success of the operation.

"What's the point?"

"We need to carefully select the people to deal with that guy."

Having faced the lazy Subaru Natsuki firsthand, I know how terrifying that madman is. Therefore, in order to truly eliminate him, I need someone who can hide himself and face him directly.

His conditions caused the people who had already stood up from their seats to frown.

Their expressions ranged from confusion and worry to unease, and some were simply mimicking the expressions of others to fit the mood. However, in general, they could all be summed up with the word "doubt."

This reaction is normal; rather, Subaru's request is too abnormal.

Then the explanation began.

The plan to defeat the Witch Cult was similar to the plan to defeat the White Whale; both involved using the scent of the witch on Subaru Natsuki to lure out the enemy.

Unlike Warcraft, Sloth is insane, but that doesn't mean he's not smart enough; he still has the intelligence and ability to react.

Furthermore, with the existence of the [Invisible Hand] ability, the human wave tactic, which only increases casualties, is not suitable.

"So you need someone with my sharp eyes, who can hide their presence, and who's also quite powerful to appear?"

"Because I've never met someone so suitable."

Subaru shrugged.

Kobayashi nodded and said, "I understand. I will take action when the time comes."

There was no reason to refuse.

This was agreed upon from the beginning. If he had refused because it was too much trouble here, he wouldn't have agreed to come and fight the white whale in the first place.

Reinhard and his companions should have already banished the Archbishops of Greed and Gluttony, the two great sins, along with the Archbishops of the White Whale and Sloth. This achievement is extremely important for Felt, the royal orphan and a candidate for the throne, who has no one to rely on.

If he could become a key player in this battle and successively defeat three archbishops of the Great Sin, his plan to establish the Axis Church could be successfully implemented.

After all, his slogan is to help the victims of the witch cult, so he must have real achievements.

Natsuki Subaru thoughtfully gave a thumbs-up and said, "Don't worry, I'll be with you then."

Are you sure you're not here to cause trouble?

Kobayashi rolled her eyes in annoyance.

Although he didn't ask about the details of the previous reincarnations, a little thought would make it clear that the reincarnations were all due to Natsuki Subaru's accidental death.

Natsuki Subaru gave an awkward smile in response to Kobayashi's disdain.

Next is how to deal with the Witch Cult.

Everyone chose to take the initiative.

Faced with the elusive Witch Cult, engaging in an indefinite siege is the worst possible strategy.

In a defensive battle, the key to victory lies in whether the defensive line can be maintained for a long time, which is not a strategy that should be adopted when they lack reinforcements.

Therefore, before the witch cult, who have infiltrated the forest, can grasp the situation here, we must achieve victory in one fell swoop. Ignore any surprise attacks from our opponents and crush them with an even more unexpected assault.

As for how to find the Witch Cult, you need Subaru Natsuki's scent and Kobayashi's eyes, which is one of the reasons why Kobayashi is the most suitable person to confront the Archbishop of Sloth.

On the way to the Earl's territory.

"Even among the Archbishops of Sin in the Cult of Witches, the Archbishops of Sloth and Greed are particularly famous."

After learning that the enemy they were about to face was called the Bishop of Sloth, Julius began to explain things to Subaru Natsuki.

Although Subaru Natsuki didn't want to listen to him, he had no choice but to force himself to listen in order to prepare for the upcoming battle.

"It should be noted that among the solitary bishops of great sin, those two stand out from the crowd. In terms of the frequency of their recorded activities, the Bishop of Sloth is overwhelmingly higher. However, in terms of the degree of harm caused, the actions of the Bishop of Greed are far more cruel."

"Neither frequency nor degree of harm seems like a good thing."

"Yes."

The Optimal Knight became dejected when the Witch Cult was mentioned, as if he had suffered at their hands.

However, Natsuki Subaru wasn't in a good mood to care about someone he disliked.

Composing himself, Julius continued, "According to the records, more than half of the Witch Cult's activities are related to him. Considering that the Witch Cult's activities span the entire world, his operational capabilities are quite astonishing."

"A world-class fly?"

Subaru Natsuki clicked his tongue softly.

He claims to be lazy, yet his actions are remarkably diligent—a stark contrast. However, his狰狞恐怖 (zhengning kongbu - ferocious and terrifying) face can hardly be called cute.

The image of that crazed face with its sharp, piercing eyes and gaunt cheeks flashed into his mind.

The fact that he calls himself Sloth reveals his own jealousy and disgust towards Sloth, and it is precisely this disgust that makes the Witch Cult exhibit an unusually high frequency of activity.

"And what's even more embarrassing is that the Knights have absolutely no control over the activities of the Witch Cult."

This is the kingdom's predicament.

Only after victims are identified and evidence is collected can the involvement of the Witch Cult be suspected. By then, the Witch Cult will have already succeeded.

This is the awkward situation where guards can only conduct searches after an incident has occurred.

“But not this time,” Kobayashi interjected. “Knowing their location in advance, just like with the White Whale, we’ll make them pay for their evil deeds so far.”

“You’re right. They’re despicable, yet they always manage to escape punishment. But this time, we won’t let them get away again. We’re determined to wipe them out!” Julius chimed in, a rare expression of anger on his face.

For those who have lived in this world for years, the existence of those guys is like a persistent malice.
