The Baby Raising A Devil

Chapter 309

TL: Zimmings

Roar, roar!

An unpleasant sound began to come from the air.

“What is that?”

As soon as the people who had been talking looked into the air, screams broke out.

Ahh-!

“Mo- monster?!”

A monster appeared in the air.

Black feathers wrapped around its whole body, bumpy unpleasant feet, and terrifying sharp claws were seen.

It looked like an ordinary monster, but the face was that of a human. Those who recognized the monster’s face were astonished..

“Cardinal Benedict!”

Henry, Isaac, and Johann activated their barrier as soon as someone shouted.

A chain of light connected to their barrier stretched upward and wrapped the monster’s body.

Bang-!

The monster that fell on the floor wriggled like a bug.

I grabbed Benedict’s hair and raised his head.

Seventeen years ago, the face burned by his mother was revealed to the world.

Those who saw his ugly distorted skin screamed in surprise.

“17 years ago, Cardinal Paul and Benedict, the head of the holy knights, were the leaders of the Dubblede attack.”

“……!”

The cardinals who were attending the interrogation froze, and the believers next to Mina were at a loss.

Ridalante, one of the nine observers, shouted.

“It’s a lie… it’s a lie!”

“Then answer me. Where is cardinal Paul? Why is he dead?”

“To protect the pope, Cardinal Paul…”

“Where is his body!”

“Well, that’s…”

“How did Cardinal Benedict become like this in the temple?”

“Cardinal Benedict was the first subject of the holy water experiment…”

While the people were mumbling, I checked the clock.

The hour hand pointed at the right time.

‘Right now.’

When I hurriedly turned around the door, I saw Emulin coming in while being led by Cecilia and Tri.

The gaze of Cardinal Stefano, Emeline’s biological father, was slightly shaken.

I remembered meeting Stefano before coming to the Imperial Palace on my own.

“What brought you here? Child, I think this was enough help for you, her friend.”

“I have died three times and I am living the fourth.”

“What?”

“I regressed three times, and I have all the memories. The ‘past life’ that Mina remembers is the story of my first life.”

“… Why are you talking about this to me? In this situation, you know that it’s dangerous to reveal it to me as a cardinal.”

“I have decided to bet my last chance on you.”

“…….”

“To you, Emeline’s biological father.”

His eyes were shaking just like now. I told him everything.

The first life I lived as the daughter of the Duke Amity, the second life as the daughter of the Duke Vallua, and in my last life where I met his daughter when I became a beggar.

“Emeline and I were best friends, so we know each other. What her father meant to her.”

“…….”

“Please return the Emeline’s admiration of his father that you stole in this life.”

“…….”

“With this opportunity.”

All the evidence I have is actually not something that can buy people’s faith.

The evidence found in the Dubblede territory is easy to manipulate.

Some might think that Dubblede tried to turn me into someone who will win the fight against the temple and manipulated the situation in the process.

That’s why I needed ‘the testimony of the temple’.

So I decided to gamble on this last, irreversible moment.

‘It’s not like I might be right, but…’

Based on the affection I received from my mom and dad, I decided to trust Stefano as Emeline’s father.

“Cardinal Benedict’s scar is related to an incident 17 years ago.”

It was Cardinal Stefano.

‘I did it.’

I breathed heavily, and Emeline’s eyes grew bigger.

When he got up from his seat, he smiled bitterly at Emeline and looked around.

“17 years ago, Benedict was caught up in an explosion and returned with a great wound, Cardinal Paul died in the process.”

The people from the temple shouted.

“Stefano-!”

“Also!”

Stefano, who clenched his fist, shouted.

The surroundings became quiet at once.

He let out a breath and looked at the people of the temple with a distorted face.

“Don’t deceive people anymore.”

“This…! This person is crazy!”

Cardinal Reginald criticized him, but Stefano did not stop talking.

“It was an explosion of divine power that the two were caught up in. Cardinal Benedict sought medical attention for a long time to recover, and received treatment from Dubblede’s Taylor, but the wounds inflicted by the divine power could not be healed.”

People began to buzz, and I nodded to my family.

Isaac quickly ran out and handed Taylor’s diary to the interrogator.

Prince Andre’s expression after checking the diary hardened.

Stefano started talking again.

“Not only the wounds, but also his core that can use mana began to have an effect, so Cardinal Benedict had no choice but to reconstruct his body. As proof of that, no one other than Cardinal Benedict has participated in the experiment.”

Emeline bit her lip.

Tears welled up in her red eyes.

She knew well what this accusation meant to Stefano.

He threw away his honor, which was precious enough to abandon his child into a gutter.

Tri supported Emeline, who sat down with one hand covering her face.

“He’s just like what you told me, Emeline.”

“My father is an amazing person. He’s the most righteous person in the world!”

I remember Emeline’s words, who was happy to find her father. Tri smiled, and Emeline cried like a child.

I shouted.

“Why didn’t someone who could create such a powerful explosion be revealed to the world!”

“Stop! No more messing around!”

Cardinal Ridalante shouted, but I didn’t stop.

“Because the temple hid and raised her! They bought a young girl from the Shayman tribe, who had been prophesied to become the womb of the beginning and the end, also subjected her to all kinds of terrible experiments, and made her grow up in the basement of a temple without a single ray of light!”

“Your Highness, what are you doing! Stop interrogation!”

“But eventually, my mother escaped, met my father and gave birth to me. That’s why I can summon the devil, because I wasn’t born on February 29th!”

The place was getting noisy.

“The devil? The devil?”

I screamed again.

“There are no angels in this world. There is no righteous God!”

“Leblaine Dubblede!”

“It’s also the devil Amy that Mina summoned. She used Amy’s power to turn it into Aslan, no, the devil Gremoru! We were all fooled by the temple and Mina!”

“Stop……!!”

Mina screamed.

Mina’s etwal, which followed the owner’s emotions, shone and vibrated.

Mina’s eyes turned black. Like Neliard in God’s space.

“Stop, stop… Stop!”

Mina screamed while holding her head with both hands.

‘It is impossible to control etwal.’

It was proof that the faith of those who had seen the situation through the magic tool was rapidly running out.

Neliard’s power to protect Mina was weakening. Mina’s powers ran wild regardless of the owner’s will.

Boom-!

Boom-!!

Six pillars of light surrounded the huge interrogation room, and six devils descended in front of the pillars of light.

When the devils landed on the ground, a red-haired man walked towards me in the middle of the room.

In the midst of screaming, strangely, the sound of footsteps pierced my ears.

[The child of the false god.]

I took a step back while holding the etwal. But there was no more space to step back. A muscular old man wearing the skin of a beast on the other side was also walking toward me.

At that time.

With the huge sound, Mina’s neck twisted and her body rose to the sky.

The pillars of light surrounding the interrogation room overlapped at once as if penetrating Mina’s body.

Kikki, kiki, ki…….

A monster with a sharp tail and red eyes crawled out on all fours from the light that wrapped around Mina’s body.

It was like a human but also like an animal.

The monsters that began to appear beyond the light soon became large army.

The first thing that crossed the light ran toward me.

It leaped and opened its mouth, revealing a number of disgustingly sharp teeth.

[Child, these are Purson’s army!]

For a moment, it was as if the voices of the devils could be heard in my head. I closed my eyes without realizing it…

Clang!

I heard a sharp sound. It was Adrian who appeared when I opened my eyes.

Adrian, who hugged me and hid me behind him, said.

“3rd Battalion!”

The 3rd Battalion of imperial knights belonging to Adrian jumped into the interrogation room.

Johann, Isaac, and Henry also surrounded me.

Cecilia also joined in by spreading the barrier, and Emeline opened the barrier.

The fake Trigon, Wale, who leads the court mages, also participated in the battle.

My dad shouted.

“Don’t let a single monster come to Leblaine’s side!”
