MAEPG: Episode 63
Episode 63 The Cathedral Raid Incident (2)
The Roselia Cathedral was thrown into chaos by the unprecedented intrusion of an external enemy.
But even in the midst of that, the response was swift.
This was the holy land of the Church, where elites recognized from all over gathered.
All defenses were strengthened, both inside and outside.
Fully armed holy warriors and battle priests lined up around the cathedral, and the summoned holy knights all moved at once.
And a secret order was issued to the strong individuals, including the holy knight order captains.
Gather in front of the sealed location immediately.
That was why.
The spectacle of people he rarely saw gathered in one place unfolded before Heinrich’s eyes.
‘To think there are still this many left even after dispatching so many.’
Those who held the highest positions among those currently remaining in the cathedral.
Even those who had already retired gathered, fully armed, and there were over a hundred of them.
At that moment, the Saintess rushed into the passage with a group of people.
She was in such a hurry that her hair was messy, and her clothes were disheveled.
“Let’s move right away! Everyone, follow me!”
The people who were waiting hurriedly followed the Saintess as she ran into the passage without stopping.
‘There’s no need to guard this passage anymore, right? She said for everyone to follow her…’
Heinrich, gauging the situation, also stealthily joined their group.
“What happened? Did they breach the cathedral’s defenses? And went straight to the sealed location?”
The Saintess asked the person running next to her.
The high-ranking female Heresy Inquisitor, who seemed to be a high-ranking official, ran without making a sound and calmly answered her question.
“We haven’t found any signs or traces of an intrusion from the outside. He didn’t enter the sealed location through normal means.”
“What do you mean? Are you saying he teleported directly into the sealed location?”
“That’s the only explanation for now, but we haven’t found any traces of teleportation on the cathedral’s defensive barrier. It’s as if he suddenly appeared there.”
“That’s impossible… There are so many holy barriers surrounding this place…! It’s impossible to ignore them and directly intrude into the sealed location where space is distorted!”
But something that was considered absolutely impossible had actually happened.
The Saintess, who had rushed over after hearing that there was an intruder in the sealed location, couldn’t help but be even more flustered after grasping the detailed situation.
“Just in case… Don’t tell me the intruder is…”
“…Yes, we received a final message from the General, who went in first.”
<Encountered Hans, the Immortal King’s descendant. Engaging in combat to buy time. Enter with full preparation.>
“We haven’t been able to contact him since then. We don’t know if he’s alive or dead.”
“Hans…!”
Sparks flew from the Saintess’s eyes as she gritted her teeth.
“Saintess, calm down. Getting agitated won’t solve anything.”
“Ah! You’re right. Whew~ Whew~.”
She took deep breaths and calmed her mind at Cardinal Cordelia’s gentle voice, who was moving with her.
The atmosphere among the leaders was serious, but Heinrich was lost in thought as he watched them.
‘They’re all running without even breaking a sweat.’
The Saintess, who could still be considered young, and Cardinal Cordelia, a woman in her late fifties, were casually talking while running.
It must be because the immense holy power flowing through their bodies was supporting them physically.
“Hahaha, I can’t even face the Main God. To allow a heretic to intrude into the holy land, the deepest part of the cathedral… Hahaha…”
A man in his mid-sixties, Cardinal Pion, who had given orders with holy power at the beginning of the incident, let out a tired laugh, as if he was dumbfounded.
“How could he move from the western end of the continent to the inside of the cathedral in the holy land? Or could it be…”
High Elf Rapori’s search continued even after they found the Immortal King’s descendant.
To immediately grasp his location if he moved.
The last location they confirmed this evening was still the monster forest in the west, but he had suddenly appeared in the center of the continent.
And at a very coincidental timing.
“There’s a record of him escaping after ignoring Archbishop Latiaus’s space-severing barrier in the battle records with Hans, the Immortal King of this generation.”
The Heresy Inquisitor, who had been moving with them, quietly added.
“…That’s right. We can’t be sure if he was really in the monster forest, but it’s true that he ignored the cathedral’s barrier and intruded. But for him to have this level of ability when he’s not even a complete Immortal King…”
“If we lose this fragment… A true calamity for the continent will be born.”
Not only those leading the conversation, but also those quietly following behind and listening realized the gravity of the situation once again.
“…Let’s hurry.”
The Saintess’s halo intensified, and the holy power emanating from it dwelled in the bodies of those around her, and they ran even faster through the sealed location.

Thud—
The last remaining Heresy Inquisitor General collapsed on the ground.
[…I expected it, but he was much more troublesome than I thought.]
Hans looked around.
Black priestly robes were scattered everywhere, and countless undead remains were piled up around them.
‘Efficiency is significantly reduced in this space, but I had no choice but to buy time.’
Their combat power was reduced to less than half of their usual level, even though he had generously imbued them with dark magic power.
He had no choice but to make up for the lack of power with numbers.
Hans couldn’t help but be concerned about the battle he had fought while unsealing the fragment in this disadvantageous space.
He couldn’t even block the Heresy Inquisitor General, who attacked him directly like an assassin, with undead.
[But I’ve almost unsealed it. I should be able to finish before reinforcements arrive.]
[Mas… ter.]
At that moment, Malcolm, the Death Wizard, whose lower body was gone, crawled towards him with his remaining hand.
Like a scene from a horror movie.
[Oh? You’re still alive.]
He was already dead, but… it was fortunate that he wasn’t damaged beyond recovery.
It wasn’t a situation where he could conserve anything, so he had even deployed Malcolm, and he was a pretty useful subordinate, considering how much he had grown.
‘I should be able to repair him.’
That was also the advantage of being an undead.
[Good work. I’ll fix you later, so go in and rest for now.]
[Yes…]
Malcolm immediately disappeared into the shadow beneath Hans.
[And the rest of you, bring back those who can be repaired. I don’t have time to take care of you right now.]
Rattle— Clatter!
[Groan—]
The surrounding undead diligently searched through the remains and flew into Hans’s shadow.
Only the corpses that were completely destroyed beyond recovery were left behind.
Hans’s gaze turned to the Heresy Inquisitors lying among the debris.
‘I didn’t kill them, but I made sure they couldn’t move for a while. Thanks to the cathedral’s barrier, it was actually easier to take them down.’
Thanks to the holy barrier that protected the believers inside, they didn’t die instantly from any attack, even though they became overly durable.
And seeing the barrier keeping those who were in a near-death state alive, he was able to unleash his power and take them down.
‘It would have been unnatural if I tried to subdue them by force. And I didn’t have the time for that. I’m glad about this.’
Well, someone might find it strange that he didn’t finish them off, but…
He couldn’t be concerned about such things one by one.
Crack—
At that moment, the last remaining pillar of the altar cracked, and the silver chain connected to it crumbled.
The last seal was released.
[…Done. Hahaha—!]
Dark magic power erupted explosively from the fragment.
Hans savored the energy and grabbed it.
Ignoring the negative emotions that naturally invaded his mind, he carefully brought it to the pathway connected to him.
The last fragment, which seemed to be one with the essence extracted with “Immortality”, attached itself.
But even though it entered Hans’s pseudo-subspace, it continued to emit uncontrolled dark magic power.
[…I thought it might happen, but I’ll need some time to settle it.]
It was quickly mixing because they had the same origin, but they were similar in power to the fragments he had absorbed so far, so they were struggling for dominance.
Hans poured all his mental resources except for Heinrich’s and slowly made the heart his own.
He wasn’t sure if he could completely conceal this violent energy flow even if he dismissed himself now.
After a while,
As he was feeling elated by the surging dark magic power and rapidly increasing power…
[Huu… It’ll be done soon.]
Unfortunately, time was up.
Boom!
A thick beam flew in from outside the shattered door and shook Hans’s barrier.
At the same time, dozens of people rushed at him at incredible speed.
The Church’s elites had arrived.

The Church’s elites had arrived.
______________________
“Are we… too late…!”
Those who hurriedly arrived gritted their teeth at the sight of the destroyed altar seal.
“It’s not too late yet! Let’s rescue the survivors first!”
The Saintess shouted, as if to awaken their minds, and gave orders.
At the same time, the Heresy Inquisitors, who had been following her like shadows, flew towards the fallen people and carried them to the rear.
The priests immediately tended to the injured, pouring holy power into them, and the holy knights lined up at the front, facing the Immortal King Hans and his undead.
“Focus! This is our last chance before he completely absorbs the fragment’s energy!”
Cardinal Pion shouted in a booming voice and recited prayers with the battle priests.
Whoosh—
Beautiful halos of light dwelled in the holy knights’ bodies.
Not only were they strengthened, but a channel was also opened for them to communicate with each other using only holy power for smooth cooperation.
The man at the forefront of the holy knights adjusted his shield and warhammer and stepped forward.
[“I’ll take him head-on, so please focus on supporting me.”]
[“Understood, Sir Jonien.”]
He was the only Paladin left in the cathedral, so there was no one better suited to lead the charge.
[Hahaha! Lackeys of the Church, it’s too late! The Immortal King’s Heart is mine!]
“Don’t be deceived! Attack!”
The battle priests’ holy magic flew towards Hans, and the holy knights charged, led by Paladin Jonien.
Of course, Heinrich was also among them.
‘Ah, buying time doesn’t work.’
Although the output of his dark magic power had increased significantly after absorbing some of the fragment, it was still a burden to fight right away.
But the Church also seemed to have noticed that and had no intention of giving him more time.
“Haa—!”
Holy power dwelled in Heinrich’s sword, creating a brilliant sword of light.
He swung his sword without hesitation and cut down the undead blocking his path.
It was a shame, but he had to immerse himself in his role now.
[Kieeeeek—!]
Clatter, clatter—
Undead kept emerging from around Hans, blocking the holy knights’ path, but…
“Heave-ho—!”
[“These guys are nothing! Focus on breaking through!”]
“Oh, Main God! Burn the evil with your glorious light!”
Even though they were strengthened with Hans’s overflowing dark magic power, they couldn’t hold out for long and melted away under the holy power that enveloped the holy knights and the holy magic support from the battle priests in the rear.
‘All the ones I gathered with so much effort!’
Hans inwardly vented his frustration and squeezed out the undead until the very end.
He needed at least numbers to hold out for now.
Boom—! Boom!
A beam of light originating from the Saintess and a hammer of light summoned by Cardinal Pion cracked Hans’s barrier and exploded.
[You annoying pests!]
Black fog rose from Hans’s staff, gathered, and transformed into a giant demon’s hand, shooting towards them, but…
“Oh, Main God— Protect your children!”
Crack!
It was blocked by the blue shield created by Cardinal Cordelia and disappeared.
It was a situation that had repeated several times.
‘How dare they gang up on me!’
Cardinal Cordelia, who was focused on defense and healing the injured.
Cardinal Pion, who was focused on supporting the holy knights and keeping Hans in check.
And Saintess Liesta, who was solely focused on attacking Hans with all her might.
He had to be concerned about the others pushing through as well, so it was frustrating.
‘If I hadn’t obtained the last fragment, I would have already escaped by now.’
But the reason he could hold out was that he was still getting stronger.
The process of securing dominance over the fragment was also nearing its end.
“Haa—! Die, Immortal King!”
Paladin Jonien, who had somehow broken through the undead, swung his large hammer.
Hans naturally extended his hand and fired a shockwave, throwing him back.
But at that moment,
Two holy knights suddenly appeared in midair, seizing the brief opening created when he repelled the Paladin, and lunged at him.
It was a stealthy operation using holy magic for concealment.
His barrier momentarily cracked from the various offensive holy magic that flew in at the same time, and the two holy knights’ two-handed swords and spears aimed for Hans’s heart from both sides.
A critical situation.
[Hmph…]
Hans naturally lowered his posture and gripped his skull staff, enveloped in dark magic power, in his right hand.
Crack—
He twisted the trajectory of the spear thrusting from the left with his staff as he stepped back.
Clang!
At the same time, he spun his staff and struck the blade of the two-handed sword slashing from the right.
A swift exchange of blows.
And after that brief moment, black flames, already formed in Hans’s left hand, were aimed at them.
Boom—!
“Gah!”
“Ugh—!”
[“Hurry, this way!”]
The holy knights, thrown back by the dark magic that activated right in front of them, were immediately transported to the rear and received emergency treatment.
Their carefully planned operation was thwarted.
[Hehehe! To think you would try to deceive me, you’re a hundred years too early!]
Hans laughed confidently.
No strategy could work against him.
The entire situation was already in his grasp.
[“Ugh, his reaction is faster than expected!”]
[“Did he learn martial arts? The holy knights’ response was a beat late because of his unexpected movements.”]
This situation as well.
He was able to grasp all the Church’s strategies in advance and respond through real-time eavesdropping using Heinrich.
‘Ah!’
And thanks to that…
‘It’s over.’
He was finally able to buy time to completely absorb the fragment’s power.
《Achievement unlocked! You have become the ‘Immortal King’, the calamity of the Auterica Dimension.》
《You have transcended after experiencing, overcoming, and dominating death. You are granted the perk “Instant Death Immunity” as a reward.》
《You have achieved a feat that has greatly impacted the world. Karma increases further.》
Thus, Hans became a true Immortal King.
“Are we… too late…!”
Those who hurriedly arrived gritted their teeth at the sight of the destroyed altar seal.
“It’s not too late yet! Let’s rescue the survivors first!”
The Saintess shouted, as if to awaken their minds, and gave orders.
