Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

"By the way, Mister Linos, ...... how is Matocal ......"

Lafayence opens his mouth. The old general speaks to him without effort as he gazes out at the scene of the fighting still going on outside of the ward.

"He has not regained consciousness. He has not regained consciousness, but his life seems to be in good condition. I have left him with May, so I think he will be all right.

Hearing these words, the old general nodded slowly.

"The King of Agartha. ......"

A voice can be heard calling Linos from behind. When he turned his head in the direction of the voice, he saw Vieille standing there alone.

"What are you doing here? As you can see, there's an ugly fight going on outside of the ward. It's not something for a woman on her way up. Stay inside the ward.

"No, thank you. But I have a favor to ask.

With a resolute expression, Vieille looks at Linos.

"Please get me out of here."

"Vieille, take a good look at the scene in front of you. Soldiers who have taken a strange drug are fighting each other willingly. If you go out of the boundary, even if you are the grandson of the Pope, they will surely kill you, won't they?

"That's all right. They probably drank a potion that the Church keeps in reserve: ....... A potion that turns humans into berserkers. It was perfected over many years by my grandfather, Pope Jouvancel Sein. If you take it, you will not feel any pain and you will fight willingly until you die. I never thought Cassel would use it. ....... He used it, didn't he?

"I see. So that's the secret of the Church's strength. Well...most armies would be no match for soldiers like that. It's not a thing for a man of normal nerve to have created such a thing over the years. You really are rotten, aren't you crimianas?"

Vieille silently meets Linos' hateful gaze. Then he opens his mouth again.

Sooner or later, the soldiers outside of the boundaries will be called to heaven. I would like to save them from dying.

"Save dying soldiers?　Those guys who are fighting each other?"

Yes. I don't know if I can do it, but I will do my part.

"...... Okay. Then you're on your own. I don't care if you die.

With that, Linos makes way. He looked over and saw that many followers of Klimiana had gathered behind Linos and his group. They are all watching him with bated breath. Vieille glanced at them, bowed to Rinos, and slowly walked out of the ward.

As soon as he exited the ward, he saw a man lying on the ground, his body cut to shreds. However, he was still breathing, and he looked at Vieille with an expression of ecstasy on his face. Then he pointed his sword in one hand at her and swung it without effort.

"Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh."

The man laughs at Vieille, his voice sounding neither amused nor pleased. Undaunted, she slowly approaches him. She grabs him gently by the arm, just as he is swinging his sword, and hugs him.

"Hyahaha, hyahaha, hyahaha ......"

I think they are already running out of life. Gradually, the man's laughter becomes quieter and quieter. Vieille continues to hug him, even though her clothes are stained red with his blood.

"It was hard for you, wasn't it? It's all right now. You did your best. You did your best. ......"

"Aihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihi...oh...kaa...... san... ..."

The man hung his head in shame. Vieille laid him down slowly and gently caressed his face.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh.... Uhhhhhhhhhh...."

Once again, strange noises are heard outside the wards. I look and see several men limping toward Vieille. She hears the voices and slowly turns around. Upon closer inspection, she sees that the men have swords in their hands, and it is clear that they want to kill her. However, these men do not approach Vieille. The wind magic of Linos had decapitated her in an instant.

"General ....... Can you send the Crimiana soldiers outside to the other side?"

"Yes. Killing is a mercy.

Lafayence muttered to himself and led his soldiers out of the wards. Vieille returned to replace him. He was covered in blood, not only on his body but also on his cheeks and arms, and looked bizarre, but his face was calm.

"Thank you, King Agartha."

Saying this, she bowed reverently to Linos. He nodded and opened his mouth to the soldiers around him.

"Somebody!　Guard Vieille and the others!　Stay on your toes until I get back!"

With these words, Linos drove Ilimo and left the village as fast as the wind.

"Ha, ha, ha, everyone ...... everyone ...... die!　You're going to die!"

Cassel was riding his horse through the dimly lit forest, mumbling to himself. The soldiers who had taken the Church's secret potion had probably turned into mad warriors. It's just a delight to ...... imagine warriors who find joy only in killing people, going on a rampage. I am sure that they are now slaughtering the treacherous soldiers of Agartha and killing all the traitors under Vieille.

While he was immersed in such thoughts, Cassel was suddenly thrown from his horse.

"d*mn!　What the hell!　You're a bad horse!"

After saying that much, he couldn't speak. The sight took his breath away.

Several huge wolves were attacking the horse in front of him. One was devouring the horse's hind legs, another was biting the horse's belly, and another was biting the horse's neck. The horse had already stopped whinnying and its eyes had lost their light.

An eerie voice came from behind me. Just as he rushed to turn around, he felt a sharp pain in his left shoulder.

"Uggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ～～～～～～!!!!"

A desperate scream echoed through the forest. I looked and saw a huge wolf, probably the same kind that was eating the horse in front of me, biting Cassel's small left shoulder. The wolf did not hold back at all, but added more force to its biting jaws and bit Cassel's left shoulder off.

"Iggyaaa!!!!"

The pain is so intense that he is almost knocked unconscious. The wolf in front of me is chewing the part he bit off from Cassel as if it were delicious. If I don't do something, I will be eaten. I will be killed. I will die. These thoughts fill his head.

"I can't die!　I can't die!　I'm going to be Pope!　I can't die here!"

In an instant, the wolf disappears before your eyes. The next moment, he felt a shock on his left hand, and his left arm was bitten off by the wolf. Immediately after he realized this reality, a large amount of blood gushed out from his left shoulder.

"Whoa!　Somebody!　Somebody!　Somebody!　Help!　Help!　Help me!　Somebody!　Somebody!　Mother!　Mother!　Mother!

Cassel shouts frantically, but his voice is not heard. The wolf walks slowly toward Cassel again.

"No!　No! No! No!　No, no, no, no!　Don't do it!

I want to run away, but I can't move. With tears streaming down his face, Cassel struggles to keep his voice down. Perhaps his voice got through, the wolf stopped. Then, as if shaking its body, it spun on its heel and started to threaten, "Garururu", toward the direction where no one was.

Cassel shakes and stares into the bushes where the wolf is staring at him. A few moments later, a man emerges from the bushes, a man he had not ...... expected, the king of Agartha, Rinos.

"What's going on here, boy?"

Rinos, astride the most beautiful white horse I have ever seen, is talking to me. Cassel cannot comprehend this reality. What happened to the madmen?　Where is my sister?　How did you catch up with me?　All these thoughts are going round and round in my head.

"I'm alone after all?　You're really rotten, you know that? A child going into the woods alone is a suicide mission. If you wanted to kill yourself, you interfered.

Cassel still cannot comprehend the reality before him. However, he feels intense pain in his left arm, which is supposed to be gone, and he is already losing feeling in the left half of his body, probably due to blood loss. And his mouth is clicking spontaneously, though it is hard to tell whether it is because of the fear or the bleeding. Seeing this, Linos smiles evilly.

"You want to be bait for the wolves?　That's not very fun.　You're not ready for this kind of treatment. If you die so easily, those who died for your arbitrary order will not be satisfied. You'll have to suffer more, won't you?　...... Sora yo."

Linos' right hand glows for a moment. Then the wound on Cassel's left arm healed and the bleeding stopped.

"When your life was in danger, I put a ward on you that would heal you as little as necessary. No matter how badly you are injured, I will at least bring you back to your current state. I am offering you a bloodbath in honor of your left arm. Until you are mortally wounded, you will feel pain and suffering as usual. You will live to see the edge of death again and again.

"What the ...... do you think you're doing!　Kill him!　You say this is also a sign from the Lord God!　Evil god!　Kill me!　Kill me!"

"That doesn't sound like the words of a man who just now was begging for help. Well, what the hell. This is my whim. Perhaps your beloved religion of Crimiana and the Church will soon suffer a great calamity. And you will watch it with your fingers crossed. What was right and what was wrong. In hell, you'll have to come up with your own answers. Well, good luck. I hope you have a long and meaningful life ahead of you. Oh, and by the way, I'm not an evil god.　I'm ...... a fake Daimajo. Don't make a mistake."

With these words, Linos spun on his heel with a grin on his face and disappeared into the forest with the speed of the wind. Then the wolf that had attacked Cassel turned to face him again and approached slowly.

"Ugh ...... don't come ...... don't come ...... don't come ...... don't come ...... don't come !!!!"

Cassel's hell on earth was about to begin.
