THE EMPEROR OF TWO WORLDS

Debt-raising

Cheers once again rang out that marked the end of the new Crown Prince's speech. The citizens slowly dispersed themselves while talking about the miracle that happened in the palace just a moment ago.

The archbishop who was still putting on a face full of anger asked in his heart 'why is nothing happening, what happened to the priests who were blending in with the citizens? there must be something wrong going on'

Seeing that his plan was not going as planned, the Archbishop immediately planned to return to the church, but as he stood up from his chair, the Archbishop immediately planned to return to the church, he had already seen the knight chief Hertez Bonavic along with his men had walked up to him.

The two holy knights in charge of his guard, had already drawn out his sword and stood in front of him while saying "Her Majesty the Archbishop! Please get out of here and we will hold off these heretics!!"

"alright, but I'll give you blessing magic." The Archbishop began chanting his incantation and when it was finished, he said the last word "Holy Light Body!!"

The bodies of the two holy knights began to be enveloped in an aura of light then the light began to enter their bodies. After getting the magic, the two holy knights began to say arrogantly "HAHA!! Look at these heretics!! With this holy power, you are nothing more than ants in our eyes!"

One of them let out a light from his hand and hit the knights who were holding back the exit where the invited guests were. As the knights were exposed to the light, they bounced and opened a way out for the Archbishop.

After opening the exit, the holy knight said "go, Your Majesty! The two of us alone were enough to hold back the head of the knight who could not use this magic!"

"alright, may Goddess Kiana be with you!!" after saying so, the Archbishop ran away leaving his two guards without looking back.

""Amen!!"" answer both to the Archbishop's prayer.

Seeing the Archbishop leave, one of Hertez's vassal knights asked "Chief, are we letting the Bishop just walk away?"

"let it be, after all, where he's headed, there's someone scarier than me waiting there. Instead of thinking about the bishop, I'd better deal with the two fools in front of us first. It's good to warm up for my body!" hertez answered while opening his cloak.

"aha! You want to beat us?!"

"that's impossible! With the power of the goddess inside our bodies! No one can beat us!"

 

"Oh! Are you really confident in that power? Then what if I take it? DISPELL!!"

As Hertez chanted his incantation, the bodies of the two holy knights began to shrink slightly and the power exerted by the previous Archbishop had already disappeared from their bodies as if the power had evaporated just like that.

"uh! What the hell is going on?! Where does our holy power go?!" said one of the surprised holy knights.

And the one who finally regained consciousness immediately pointed at Hertez and said "YOU!! What are you doing with our strength?! Quickly return!"

Although the Hertez subordinate knights felt somewhat annoyed by their disrespectful tone of speech to their superiors, but because they had been following Hertez for a long time. this scene has become commonplace for them and some even make it an entertainment.

Hertez answered the words of the holy knight "return? Is that power yours? After all it was your own fault that underestimated me earlier. Well. Seeing you guys makes me remember my fight against John."

"John's? You mean Cardinal sword of light John?!"

"well I don't know about his nickname or his position in the holy kingdom, but hearing his nickname, I think it does match the John I fought. All right, I think it's time to kick your ass. Are you guys ready?"

"although I never fought against Cardinal John, but was given the opportunity to fight against a man equal to him. I feel so happy!" said a holy knight who admired the figure of the Cardinal.

"ho! You have good determination. All right, I'll take you guys seriously, too."

Hertez took an attacking position and so did the two holy knights before him. Moments later they all attacked each other and the few female guests who were still there started to close their eyes in fear of seeing the bloody scene that was about to happen, which was about to happen, but a noble by the side said "young lady, you can calm down. As long as our knight's head doesn't use his sword, then there's never any blood spilled in this fight."

And as the nobleman said, the fight was very fast because there was no clash of swords and Hertez seemed to just dodge the knight's attack and walk through it, but the next scene left everyone watching in shock.

Because not too long later, the two knights fell for no definite reason. Not looking back, Hertez said to his men "take them to the treatment room!"

"but Chief, on the orders of his highness the crown prince. Every holy knight must be taken to prison. Why are we taking care of him?"

"they deserve it! After they're taken care of, we're gonna put them in jail! So just follow my orders!"

"Ready-done!" replied his subordinate knight and Hertez said to the guests "apologize for the row we have made and now because the situation has us under control, you can go home to get ready for the party tonight. All the nobles of the capital were invited and it was the same as the owners of the chamber of commerce in the capital."

"well, Chief!!" replied his remaining men and they went to spread the news to the rest of the knights so that they could also prepare for tomorrow's inspection.

After everyone had left, Hertez glanced at the capital's church building and said, "maybe Alex isn't too violent in revenge."

…

"HAA..HAA...HU..HAA.." The decapitated voice came from an Archbishop who had just escaped from the royal palace. After his breathing had returned to normal, he glanced once more at the royal palace and said "just look at all of you! After I return to the holy kingdom, then I will make sure this kingdom is destroyed!" and then he went back to church.

On returning to the church he felt something strange as there was no welcome from the holy knights and also the priests he left behind in the church. Although he felt suspicious, but because he was already very tired the Archbishop entered his church and after he entered, he was surprised by the sight before him.

What he saw was that the church hall had been filled with people dressed in black with strange masks and then the number of people who were tied up and hung. Looking at the scene, the Archbishop frantically said "SI...WHY ARE YOU GUYS?!! WHERE ARE MY KNIGHTS AND PRIESTS?!!"

One of the Silent Army members said "didn't you see? They're all on duty as a church decoration by hanging up there?"

As the Archbishop looked up he was once again shocked and frightened because all his holy knights had been defeated.But withstanding his fear he again asked "what is the meaning of all these actions of yours?"

"try asking the Archbishop in front." He said while pointing forward.

The Archbishop walked forward and with one look he had already recognized that the robe and hat the man was wearing was his which he used during the magic resurrection ceremony.

Before he asked about who the person was, the person had already turned around and greeted him "hello! Archbishop!"

Looking at that person, his blood instantly rose high while asking "why are you here, Crown Prince Alex?!!"

"of course to catch criminals! And also shut this church down for good." Jani replied with a joking tone and then ended with a serious tone.

"hey! Close church? Do you intend to fight a war with the religion of holy light?"

"woah.. don't think that far! After all, the kingdom is in conflict with the Rohden empire, why should we add enemies?"

"then don't you think about shutting down the church as much as fighting our religion?"

"just calm down, even though I'm closing this church. There will be no war because I have given Saintess a direct explanatory letter about what happened here and all the sins you committed in this kingdom!"

"no way! I didn't even see a single person who went from here to deliver a message!"

"hey Old Bishop! Does sending a letter have to use horses from here to the holy kingdom? Of course not, you idiot! We can use the space magic portal to the northern border city currently led by my first brother and then forwarded by my brother towards the Central Cathedral, Easy right?!"

Hearing the statement from Jani, the Archbishop could only grit his teeth just a sign he was not thinking about this. Seeing that the Archbishop could not say anything, Jani took off all the Bishop's antributes and said "well, isn't it time to collect my debt for three years!"

"debt?when have I ever been in debt to you?!"

"his debt was not about material things, but rather your actions that put me in a coma at that time, right, Archbishop?!"

The archbishop started to panic 'Gawat! I need to get out of here!' he starts chanting spells to blind Jani for a moment, but before the spell is over, Jani is already in front of him with Ryu-Jin's wand in his hand. After being in front of the Archbishop, Jani pointed his staff towards the bishop's stomach and said "is I going to let you go? Ryu-jin! ELONGATED!!"

The golden staff began to extend at high speed while carrying the Archbishop to smash into the giant door of the church. Not content to press again until the Bishop fainted and stuck to the giant door.

After being satisfied to make the Archbishop faint, Jani said to his subordinates "well, I have read the report and hereby I declare the operation 'CLEANING LIGHT' has been successfully carried out!"

The entire army replied in unison "SILENT ARMY IS ALWAYS READY TO CARRY OUT THE CROWN PRINCE'S ORDERS! LONG LIVE YOUR MAJESTY ALEX!!"

"BUILD!!" Jani replied firmly and immediately they dispersed.

After he is left alone, Jani yawns while saying "Hoaamm~... The end is done too! I wonder how the Central Cathedral responded to my letter of protest?"
