Chapter 116 Identifying Cultist Among Cultists
Leaf Chemist arrived in the capital city.
He continued to defeat the monsters rampant in the city one after another.
After parting ways with his partner Tai-chan, he was left alone.
It was then that the cultist causing this commotion made his move.
"Leaf!"
"! Henrietta-san!"
Approaching Leaf was the Guild Master of the adventurer guild Divine Gemstone to which he belonged, Henrietta Age.
...or so it seemed, as she was possessed by the cultist.
Using the power of the evil god, he could freely transform his body.
He turned his body into liquid form and entered Henrietta's body, controlling her from the inside.
(I'm manipulating the real body. No matter how good he is, he won't be able to see through it!)
The real Henrietta had been abducted by the cultist before this riot occurred.
He had kept her nearby, thinking she might be useful at some point.
Henrietta approaches Leaf in disguise.
Leaf smiles at her.
(What a fool! He completely mistook me for the Guild Master. Too bad! When you let your guard down, it's your end!)
Henrietta closes the distance.
Leaf continues to smile...
"Take this...!"
Slash...!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!"
Leaf stabs a knife into the center of Henrietta's chest.
In pain, the cultist emerges from Henrietta's mouth.
Leaf catches the falling Henrietta.
"Why... How did you know I was controlling from the inside!?"
If he was disguising his face, that's one thing, but the body was real!
Did this man see through it?
How in the world...?
"Um, who are you?"
Confused, Leaf is doing something.
Even the cultist was puzzled.
"Oh, what... What's going on? Didn't you stab me because you noticed me were inside and controlling her?"
"No!"
He energetically denied it...
"I sensed something was amiss. The people in the capital city were all put to sleep. I could smell the Henrietta-san's own scent, but could it be that faceless monster can even mimic scents now?"
"Oh, really..."
The cultist was speechless.
"So, you didn't have confirmation that this woman was being controlled!"
"That's right!"
"What were you planning to do if it was the actual person! You crushed her heart!"
Then Leaf...
tilted his head with his usual clueless expression.
"Well, even if you crush the heart, you can heal it with medicine, right?"
...What is he saying?
The cultist was genuinely terrified of the monster in front of him.
"If there's no face, just put it back as it is. If there's nothing wrong with Henrietta-san, just fix her body tissues with Elixir immediately, and revive her with the resurrection potion."
In any case, he can kill people and then heal them with medicine.
So, it seems the reasoning was 'kill those you suspect'...
"W-who are you...! A-are you going crazy...!? You heretic!"
The protagonist was judged to be a heretic by the cultist.
