Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

"...... Okay. You know what I'm talking about. The place is ....... Yes, it's that village with the traitors, as I requested. I see."

One of the bishops bows reverently and leaves the room. Cassel keeps his red bloodshot eyes fixed on the door through which the man has just left.

"......"

"...... Shut up. Shut up."

Cassel mumbles to himself. The occasional auditory hallucinations that he hears have been increasing day by day in recent days. He was tormented by these voices, but he continued to think about what to do with Vieille.

"......What if, what if...? If she regrets her actions and cries and begs for her life, then I will forgive her this time. Go back to your country of origin ......."

"......"

The auditory hallucination comes again. I shake my head as if to shake it off. Then he claps his hands and calls for someone.

"You wanted to see me?"

How many soldiers are available to fight now?

"Well, I would say that there are a little over ......3000 people."

"What?　Three thousand? Why so few!　There would have been almost 5,000 soldiers!"

About 1,000 people have been infected with rheumatoid arthritis. Most of them are now staying in their villages, refusing to be healed by the king of Agartha. However, a powerful ward of King Agartha has been placed there, and no one is allowed to enter.

"Hey ....... I'd love to let them go, but ......"

If those infected with the Rulointh were released and sent to the towns and villages of Agartha, it is highly likely that the people of Agartha would also be infected with the Rulointh. Cassel thought about this in his mind. But the bishop's apprentice, standing in front of him, sees through his thoughts and apologetically informs him that the plan of massacre is not feasible.

"With all due respect, sir, I don't think it is feasible. We have tried many times to enter that village, but all attacks with weapons or even magic are blocked.

From his point of view, what Cassel was trying to do was unacceptable. If he let those who were now infected with Leroyance out of the building, they could be infected themselves. We must move the evacuees to a place where there is less chance of infection. That would be the first thing to do, he thought. But Cassel did not have the slightest idea.

"Okay. Then leave the infected alone. By the way, how many Agartha soldiers are guarding the village with the traitors?"

I estimate about 2,000.

"I see. At ......, tomorrow morning, you will select 1,000 soldiers from among those remaining. I will go with them to the village. Have them dress as they always do, as if they were ordinary folk.

"Awe, sir."

The young man bows reverently and leaves the room. Pensive for a moment, Cassel pulls from his pocket a thin bottle, the size of the palm of an adult hand. It was a special gift from the Pope when he left the Church. It had originally belonged to Vieille, but she had given it to him when she returned to her village after contracting leroyance here. He stared at the bottle for a while.

The next morning, Cassel left the village with 1,000 of his elite troops. He ordered the remaining 2,000 to defend the village and told the inhabitants to be ready to flee at any moment. This caused chaos in the village, as if a war was about to break out.

Cassel slowly leads his horse out of the forest, looking at the situation of the village from the side. After a short distance out of the forest, he stopped his march.

"All who are permitted to join this army!　You are the true soldiers of our religion. To prove it, I give you this!

Cassel took a pill from a bottle in his pocket and gave it to each of the soldiers in his company.

This medicine was specially given to me by His Holiness the Pope. If you are in a battle, drink it. It will give you the blessing of my master Crimiana. It will bring out the best in you.

The soldiers shout in unison with joy. It was worth it after all the hardships they had endured. Colleagues, friends, lovers, family members, infected with the plague of leroyance, some have died, some have betrayed us, and many are still trapped in that dreadful village, just waiting to die. Even under such circumstances, we have remained unaffected and have served the Lord Krimeana. Our deep faith has been appreciated and we are now in good health. And yet, here we are. Moreover, this medicine, which was given to us by His Holiness' grandson, Cassel, was enough to reward us for our hard work.

In addition, Cassel had suggested to them that they might have to fight. This meant that they would have to fight against the soldiers of Agartha. Most of them still believed the Church's story that a great demon lord or some similar evil god ruled the land of Agartha, and the poor conditions they had been subjected to so far were enough to make them believe so. The soldiers wanted to defeat as many Agarthans as possible, in other words, the minions of the evil gods, and lead this country to the true state.

In the end, those who followed Cassel were chosen not by the strength of their soldiers, but by their loyalty, and all of them were fanatical believers in the religion of Clymiana. Cassel looks at them with satisfaction and calls out to them.

"You are not allowed to move until I give the order. Are you ready?　...... then, we're off!"

Cassel once again marched his troops forward.

Crimiana's group arrived an hour after the appointed time. Linos had entered the village the day before with Matkal and a few soldiers, accompanied by Vieille, and from the morning of the day, he was ready for the meeting between Vieille and Kassel. They had made various preparations for the meeting, such as setting up a new ward just for that purpose and adding an effect that no magic could penetrate the ward except for those whom Linos had authorized.

To be honest, I was not without a feeling that this was a bit too much. However, Rico had told him the night before that Vieille should be returned safely to the Church and that nothing should happen to him.

He waited and waited, but no one showed up, and in frustration, he activated the map to check his current location, and watched the slow pace of his progress, clicking his tongue.

Finally, Cassel and the others arrived, and he was accompanied by a soldier who led him alone into the room where Linos and the others were in the village.

"Hey, you're late!"

"Sister!"

Cassel, interrupting Linos' words, shouts loudly when he sees Vieille. However, Vieille does not flinch at all. She looks at Cassel with a smile on her face.

"Sister!　Why did you betray the Crimiana cult!　Why did you disobey the Church?　Why, my sister, who loved the Lord God more than anyone else!　Sister, your actions are not in the face of the Lord God!　How dare you apologize to the congregation!　Sister!"

Cassel, with his bloodshot eyes fixed on Vieille, talks fast, like a madman. Linos was taken aback by the devilish expression on his face, as well as his language. However, Vieille never lost her facial expression. This, in turn, made Cassel nervous.

"Why don't you say something!

"Cassel."

Vieille's dignified voice echoed through the warding room. Cassel's eyes are still red and bloodshot, and he is glaring at Vieille.

I will not betray the religion of Klimiana," he said. And I will continue to live my life together with the Church of Christianity.

"What?　Then, what was that shitty behavior the other day?　You cried and begged for your life to King Agartha, the minion of the evil god there, and not only that, you said that Lord Klimiana would not save us!　I did say that!　In front of the eyes of the faithful!　How do you explain that!"

Vieille still keeps her smile. Then he speaks to the child in front of him as if to admonish him.

Yes. Yes, it is true that at that time I was also trapped. But because of that, I was able to know the true doctrine of the Lord God.

The true doctrine?

Cassel, listen to me carefully. Listen carefully to the doctrine of ......

"Shut up!　Shut up!　I don't want to hear about doctrine now!　Sister!　The Church State will not forgive you!　Never!　Like your father, you will be sent to the frontier for the rest of your life!　Is that what you want?　Sister, if you beg me for your life, I will help you. I'll beg His Holiness the Pope. I will spare your life if you do whatever I tell you from now on. Now, get down on your knees before me and beg for forgiveness!　Swear absolute obedience!"

Even Vieille's face is frozen in shock at the sheer force and arrogance of the situation. However, her face quickly returns to normal and she begins to speak slowly.

"I hope ...... to be sent to the same frontier as your father. I'd rather that than be sent to the same frontier as your father. Cassel, it would be extremely inconvenient for me to beg you for my life and remain as I am. What are you going to do with me, manipulating me at will?　I can't do anything, can I?　Perhaps you would like to see my body?　Then I'll show you.　I'll undress right here, right now. I'll be naked.　If my nakedness will calm your anger and allow us to have a calm discussion, I will gladly get naked!"

Cassel's eyes widen. He had never expected that Vieille would voluntarily go naked.

"Sister ...... what are you talking about?　He said he'd gladly be naked. ....... Your sister naked, etc. ....... I just want to ....... Sister, please think about it. Sister, being sent to the frontier is dangerous, isn't it?　It involves a lot of hardship, you know?　The difficulties and hardships are incomparable to Agartha. ......"

"I hope so."

Vieille did not let Cassel say it, but she did. Already the smile had faded from her face and a strong willful light was in the depths of her eyes.

"Cassel, have you ever had your anus seen in front of many people?　Have you ever been naked in a brightly lit room, touched all over your body, and had every crease and crease of your anus spread out and examined?　It was really embarrassing. I wanted to die. Compared to that pain, I can bear any hardship and suffering. But in my despair I realized. I realized what the Lord God really wanted to tell me about the true meaning of the Klimiana religion. From now on, I will walk around the frontier and preach the teachings of the Lord. And I will save many people. If there are difficulties, the people there must also be suffering from difficulties, right? Then I will go and save them. That is what the Klimiana religion should do!

"Sister ....... What did you say ......?　Is it an anus?　What is an anus ......?"

Cassel stares at Vieille with bloodshot eyes. Then he slowly turns his gaze to Linos, who is standing next to him.

"Hey you, what did you do to my sister!　What did you do to my sister!　Answer me, you evil god!　What the hell is an anus?　You can't be serious. You can't be serious. You can't be serious. You can't be serious.　I won't forgive you, I won't forgive you. !!!!"

A scream so loud that it could not have been uttered by a child echoed through the room. Linos's brow gradually creases from a look of disbelief. Cassel, in front of him, looks like a demon, breathing on his shoulder and glaring at Linos. Linos stands up slowly, staring at him. .......
