Chapter 20 The Girl Captured By Sl*ve Collar
――Clang!!
"Ugh... you little brat!"
I sent Archbishop Klaus flying with Magic Scythe Igurima and intervened between him and the beast girl Teti lying on the altar.
The dagger Klaus had poised was shattered into pieces by Igurima's strike.
"A black robe and a jet-black scythe... so that's how it is. I never expected to be sniffed out by the Black-Robed Executor..."
"Well, I never thought the Holy Church would deal with sl*ves. Weren't you all about equality in the name of God? Seems like that's gone somewhere. Or maybe you never really had such principles to begin with."
Klaus distanced himself from me, wearing a strained smile.
It seems the information broker Fran's report was indeed accurate.
Upon hearing the details from Fran, we immediately came to this Holy Church where the beast girl Teti is said to be held captive.
There was an unusually high number of mercenaries in a facility unrelated to military force, but now Maia and Fran are holding them back for me.
Thanks to them, I was able to rush to this place alone.
"Are you okay?"
I called out to the beast girl Teti.
Her arm was painfully slashed, fueling my anger even more.
"Why... are you here?"
"There's a skilled informant. I've heard everything. That jerk of a bishop is trying to kill you for some stupid ambition. That's why I came to help."
"I see, but... why? We only met briefly on the street..."
"...I can't just leave someone in trouble. Besides, you don't need a reason to help someone, right?"
"..."
Teti widened her red eyes, then softly muttered, "Thank you."
I faced Klaus once again and checked his Execution Coefficient.
====================
Target: Klaus Elgenheim
Execution Coefficient: 237,111 points
====================
His Execution Coefficient was significantly higher compared to those who had been executed before.
It spoke volumes about the wickedness of Archbishop Klaus Elgenheim.
"Well well, why do you insist on interfering with my plan?... What I'm trying to do is to save the people."
"Huh? How is making a drug that controls people by sacrificing the beastman race considered salvation?"
"You don't understand. Being controlled is a very happy thing, you know. If only you realized that."
"..."
"Without any doubts, without any thoughts, the controlled people who simply continue to live in the miniature garden and order created by the rulers. That is the ideal world. I will definitely rise to the ruling class in that new world. We are just one step away from realizing that. There's no need to worry about the deaths of livestock that have nothing to do with me, right?"
Klaus speaks gleefully.
"...Scum. I will crush your worthless ambitions."
"Kukuku, how about that? Kind-hearted Black-Robed Executor-sama."
"What?"
As I asked, there was a sound behind me almost simultaneously.
"――AH, AAAAAAHHH!!!"
When I turned around, Teti was writhing and screaming.
――...Is this... the sl*ve collar around Teti's neck glowing?
As the glow subsided, Teti leaped with agile movements and landed between me and Klaus.
"Kuh, ugh... guh..."
Those eyes were like a fierce beast, clearly different from Teti's demeanor just moments ago.
"You, with Teti..."
"Yes, that's right. I infused my magic into her sl*ve collar. Now she's my puppet. Can you, kind and gentle you, attack an innocent like her?"
"..."
"Now, Teti, you'll be useful. With the job ability of the [Divine Wolf], hailed as the strongest among the beastmen."
"Ah, argh...!"
As Klaus raised his hand towards the sl*ve collar, Teti let out a pained groan.
And in the next moment, her body began to be enveloped in a dazzling silver light.
"Guuh..."
The silver light surrounding Teti took a visible form, covering her hands with large claws, her physique with fur, and her teeth with fangs.
What appeared there was the figure of a girl clad in the likeness of the legendary silver wolf known as Fenrir.
