Episode 91. 〈 Hearing of the 7th Prince 〉
===================
Priests sent by the Chaolium Church were secretly carrying out religious activities in Lorensis.
They treated people in the slums for free and provided them with food and water.
The people of the slums were grateful to the priest of the Chaolium Order for his kindness.
“The 7th Prince is a devil worshiper who deserves to be punished.”
The priest continued his passionate speech on the podium.
“What is the reason you are so unhappy? “It’s all because of the 7th prince!”
They were secretly framing the 7th Prince.
“The Holy Emperor was hiding such a devil worshiper. No matter how much he is my grandson, this will only continue the curse.”
Those who had no hope listened to the words of the priest who held out a helping hand.
“The 7th prince, who is a being who attracts war and pestilence….”
The priest of the Chaolium Church who was speaking fell silent due to a strange feeling.
He raised his head.
“Clergy?”
The people gathered at the priest’s actions also turned their gaze in puzzlement. They
looked at the alley leading to the main street.
After a while, the people in the slums also felt a strange energy.
A bright light was seen between the alley leading to the main road and the building on the roof.
It was sacred power. It was a light originating from
“What is this sacred power…?”
The priest frowned and got down from the platform and ran.
The people of the slums followed him.
Many of the people of Laurensis came out onto the streets.
They just stood there with their eyes wide open.
The priest could not see because of the crowd.
The priest of Chaolium pushed through the crowd and went in.
“Get out of the way for a moment. Get out of the way! How dare you block my path! Get out of the way!”
Even though I pushed him away roughly, no one expressed any complaints.
They just stared blankly ahead.
The priest of the Chaolium Church, who sensed something strange, managed to break through the crowd.
Then his eyes widened.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
A steady beat of drums is heard.
In response, legions wearing armor take steps in unison.
Boom!
The priest’s pupils shake.
-Aaaaa!
A female ghost banshee spits out a chant containing words.
The scene unfolding before my eyes.
It is the march of an undead army.
Beings called the dead and evil spirits.
Skeleton banshees, skeleton horses, and other beings are marching.
Wearing white armor, eyes flashing between helmets.
Each one is weak, but It contains a sacred energy.
Thousands of such beings gathered together and radiated strong holy power.
Citizens were not afraid.
Rather, they were fascinated and could not take their eyes off.
“What is this? What on earth is going on?”
The priest also watched the procession of the Holy Legion along with the citizens.
In a pitch-black city without torches, the surrounding area was brightly colored with holy light just by the march of the army.
Contradictory miracles were passing before our eyes.
“Oh my God, this!”
The priest raised his head.
A 3m tall bone golem and a 5m tall megalithic statue moved.
A shadow fell over the priest’s face. The ground shook as the majestic giants passed by.
The priest lowered his gaze again.
About 50 skeleton mages. They all raised their staffs
and struck them down.
The energy of holy power spread out from the staff.
It was a healing magic. It
was a wide-range magic that was cast indiscriminately rather than targeting a specific target.
The people around it were healed. Small wounds. As the sacred power spread ,
the priest of the Chaolium Church felt a miracle.
The faith that had been dry deep in his heart was shaken and echoed. The holy power resonates
!
The faith that praises the great Gaia is deep in his bones. It was deeply engraved.
Emotions overtook me.
A sense of trepidation made my body tremble.
“Ah ah-!”
The priest knelt.
He turned his gaze.
There is a being leading the legions of God. A skeletal
horse riding a chariot. A mountain goat
‘s head and bone armor covering the entire body. A
white aura flowing down.
The figure is that of a devil. He may not be a worshiper, but an incarnation himself.
However, no one called him a worshiper or an incarnation of the devil.
His grotesque appearance rather highlighted his greatness.
A majesty that would imbue you with sacred energy and fear.
A corps leader leading the legions of God.
That person. How should I express it?
A saint? A representative of God? An undead monarch?
No, no.
That is…
“The Holy King.”
The priest opens his mouth
and shouts at the top of his voice,
“It is the Holy King! It is the Legion of God!”
The people kneel.
They kneel before God’s army, bow their heads and put their hands together.
They pray. They
accept heterogeneous contradictions.
Their faith is imbued with a strong conviction.
The holy king leading the army of God.
The people. The priest of the Chaolium Church became even more excited at the sight of them.
He raised both hands and shouted,
“The Holy King with Gaia’s will has descended!”
He no longer had any disbelief.
On the contrary, his faith in the Holy Imperial Family was strongly struck.
He felt the Holy Power. He personally experienced and witnessed the miracle of God.
There will never be a glory like this again!
“Long live the Holy Imperial Family!”
An excited voice flowed from the mouth of the Chaolium Church:
“Long live the Holy Family! 7th Prince.”
And,
“Long live His Majesty, Allen Allpols!”
His mesmerized eyes were released and he praised the commander of God’s army.

“What is it?”
Holy Emperor Celt’s eyes widened.
He witnessed the march of the Holy Undead Legion from the balcony of the imperial palace. He could
hear magnificent drum sounds and holy chants.
The earth shook with his footsteps.
Every sound was filled with holy power.
In addition, the skeleton mages were using holy power. They are spouting out magic.
It looks like a procession of paladins and priests.
Celt, who was looking at the scene, covered his mouth.
Goosebumps rose and trembled.
‘Are you saying that is Allen?’
But how can he have that kind of power?
Wasn’t it just a matter of summoning dozens or hundreds of sacred undead?
Even though I heard that he had defeated King Rahamma, I was suspicious that the crown prince might have been involved.
But no. That’s not true. It was the real power of Allen Allfaults.
The original power that had been hidden.
It was far beyond that of a saint.
‘Was it for this? Allen.’
The Holy Emperor’s eyes turned to the people.
Lighting up the pitch-black night, the people were praying among the legions of gods.
Those who had rejected him so much began to worship him by putting their hands together and praying.
The 7th Prince refused to observe him. . He also heard that they were preparing a strange military parade. He
was lost in thought, wondering if he might do something as drastic as he did, but this far exceeded his expectations.
If they saw this, even the nobles and clergy would not be able to disobey him.
“Chamberlain!”
Kelt shouted.
The Chamberlain next to him looked blankly at the parade of sacred undead.
“Chamberlain Wills!”
Only after Celt called his name did the chamberlain come to his senses.
“I apologize for my sin. Please speak, Your Majesty.”
“Prepare clothing. Also prepare people who can dress up.”
The prosperous Celt looked away.
“I will attend the hearing.”

The 7th prince, wearing Amon’s skull and bone armor, looked at the tree branch in his hand.
[World Tree Branch]
Its ability greatly restores the body and mind of the possessor and greatly reduces all harmful effects.
Duration is 10 minutes.
However, if you use divine energy, it will be amplified even more than that.
It was a gift from Tinya before leaving Aslan.
The 7th prince looked away.
All the people kneel. Close your eyes quietly and say a prayer.
Some priests even praise with tears in their eyes.
Actions are better than a thousand words.
Saint Alice told us to convince everyone with all our sincerity.
So the 7th prince tried to persuade through action.
This was Allen Allpols’ unique method.
He wanted to highlight that it was not a fight or dispute and that he was not a harmful being.
‘The effect is quite good.’
The response was unexpectedly good.
‘The people must have witnessed and experienced it firsthand, so they would have accepted it without resistance. Well, the rest.’
nobles and clergy. It will take some acting to convince them.
The march headed towards the imperial palace.
Harmon, who was waiting in front of the castle gate, was lost with a blank expression. Then, in the nick of time, I came to my senses and opened the door.
An army of 1,500 undead lined up in front of the palace square, and the 7th prince, who was like the commander of a godly army, got off the chariot.
As he moved, about 10 Holy Knights accompanied him.
The imperial palace could not stop them.
I walked down the hallway and arrived at the throne room of the Holy Emperor.
Holy Knight himself opened the large door.
The 7th prince walked confidently between them.
The eyes of the nobles and clergy gathered in the Holy Emperor’s audience room widened.
The red carpet was trampled by bone armor.
He heads to the throne.
No one thought to stop it.
The 7th Prince headed to the throne and sat down in the throne room.
The Holy Knights held their swords with both hands next to the 7th Prince.
I got down on one knee and bowed my head.
The 7th prince took off the goat’s skull.
Additionally, the bone armor on his sturdy body disappears.
Allen Allpoles, who was sitting on the throne, glared at the nobles and clergy with harsh eyes.
“You guys.”
In your voice.
“How long are you going to stand there stupidly?”
It contains words.
With that one word, the nobles and clergy stiffened.
Feeling a chill, I knelt down and bowed my head.
“I meet the prince!”
For a moment, the nobles and clergy were shocked and fell silent.
This is a hearing.
It is an opportunity to scold and prove the mistakes of Allen Allpols, the 7th grandson of Seonghwang.
But this is like.
‘Isn’t it like a place to celebrate success!’
Above all, that is the throne where the Holy Emperor will sit.
It sits there so naturally.
“Let the hearing begin.”
The nobles and clergy fell silent at the 7th prince’s words.
The 7th Prince is leading the hearing.
The 7th prince twisted his body and sat arrogantly on the throne.
He leaned his face on the back of his hand and asked the gathered nobles.
“Does anyone have any questions for me?”
Everyone was silent.
An irresistible atmosphere is being created.
The 7th Prince opened his mouth at the center of the Holy Knight radiating holy power.
“First of all, an insult to Goddess Gaia.”
The nobles flinched.
“Call Harmon.”
The priests rushed out. And then Harmon came.
Harmon knelt down and bowed his head.
“I ask you. I insulted Gaia. Therefore, he was exiled. You must have seen it yourself, right?”
He had a small and petite body and still had the voice of a boy.
However, his majesty overwhelmed everyone in the throne room.
“I have seen it.”
“So, can someone who is hated by Gaia and made a contract with the devil use this much holy power?”
The 7th Prince spread out his hands and
pointed at the Holy Knight who was bowing his head to the left and right.
“It is impossible.”
“Then why is it possible to use holy power and necromancy like this?”
“It is because of the greatness of Goddess Gaia and because the prince has received grace from her.”
“You can leave.”
Harman bowed his head and took a step back. He stepped in between the nobles.
The prince’s eyes rolled back.
“The nobles who were involved in the assault by the noble’s son at the academy should come out.”
The nobles flinched.
Those from the duke and marquis families came out.
“I ask you.”
“Please speak.”
“What punishment will be given to those who assault and rape commoners and insult the royal family?”
They kept their mouths shut and bowed their heads.
Of course they would not survive, and even if they did survive, there would be a great punishment.
“Instead of punishing them, they conscripted people to protect the people and prevent Aslan’s invasion. Were you dissatisfied with that?”
“There was none.”
“Go away.”
The nobles stepped back.
“He had an affair with Aslan’s princess. He also tried to start a war and ascend to the position of emperor.”
The 7th Prince narrowed his eyes and said,
“Do you think she would do such a troublesome thing by even killing King Rahamma? Also, if the princess considers me special, wouldn’t it be a good situation to control the hostile nation, Aslan?”
“…”
Silence.
The nobles were speechless.
No, they couldn’t say anything. They
thought the 7th Prince was a devil worshiper.
Because he used necromancy. He must have been a heretic who sold his soul.
But in reality , was different.
Is that a devil worshiper? The devil incarnate?
It’s not even funny.
In fact, it’s the opposite.
“Let me ask you.”
The nobles looked at him in shock.
“The Darina family, who are suspected of having an affair with a vampire, and the corrupt Chaolium Church that is looking after them.”
A voice filled with words comes out:
“The 7th grandson of the Holy Emperor, who can rule over even the dead by borrowing the power of Gaia. I am Allen Allpols.”
Fascinated by the voice, the nobles could not take their eyes off the 7th Prince.
Everyone looked at him and thought.
The 7th Prince in front of them…
The 7th Prince narrowed his eyes and asked.
“Of these two, who do you think is the corrupted one? ?”
It was a being who would become the next successful person to inherit Gaia’s will.
