The brave man opened the coffin and rose

Chapter 286: Believe in Collapse and Soul Breaking

No investigation, no probing, no inquiries.

In order to achieve the noble ideal of saving more people, Miracol never integrated any of the powers that spontaneously gathered together.

Simply put, the current concept of the Marquisate of Rennes is actually like America made up of fifty stars, or even worse.

They are not circulated, are hostile to each other, and will become excited at the slightest disturbance, but they tightly surround the city of Hajime where Miracol is located.

I don't know whether he is protecting and worshipping the so-called shrine and gods, or he wants to hold this chicken that lays golden eggs firmly in his hands.

Sometimes, Miracol would give herself a little confidence.

For example, imagine them as pigs squawking around their feeding window.

Only in this way can he ignore the pressure from those people.

Ignore the iron and blood that can be seen at a glance in the creation orders they requested.

Originally, if the iron bird had not dropped from the sky, this kind of stability could have been maintained for a longer time.

As long as he waits for those guys carrying the brand that he sent out to spread morality and faith to farther places, the replenishment of the power of "belief" will allow him to spare some time to do something, something to break through resistance.

However, the iron bird came.

He carried an order to open an investigation, not a consecration.

Once this signal spreads, various forces that have long been like powder kegs will explode one after another.

They would not allow this so-called Marquis of Saint-Rennes to investigate.

They also won't let other "colleagues" investigate.

They would not let the king, who had recovered from his shock, come over to investigate.

This is one of the breakdowns along the way.

The other way comes from Miracol's own belief in himself.

A bright green figure appeared and saved me. From then on, if I tried my best to achieve what I wanted, it would definitely come true.

No matter how she thought about it, Miracol's belief in herself would not waver.

But in the end, as the scale of the rescue expanded, he realized that there were far more things he could not do than what he could do.

Reconciliation and compromise are what he, a man who strives for light and justice, has done most during this period of time.

Just when he was about to lose the empty shell that he had been supporting for three to five months and was particularly exhausted, Miracol suffered a series of blows to his faith.

He saw that ordinary people were able to carry heavy steel high into the sky.

He saw a huge iron bird with only barely perceptible magic in its internal structure.

Further on, three days later, the iron bird arrived and the messenger was imprisoned by him.

He heard the sound through a steel earplug that looked ordinary in appearance and was seized from the messenger.

It was a clear and loud female voice.

That thing said, [Can you hear me? ... (hissing) If you can hear me, please answer...]

It is not surrounded by magic or enchantment, but it can transmit sound messages?

Which one is the miracle and which one is the miracle?

It was on that day that three-fifths of the food produced from the Shrine by the prayers of Miracle-sama disappeared.

And these are the collapse of Miracle's "belief".

----------

No matter how Miracol, who is far away in Hajime City, the being who gave Domino power, is shaken now.

At this moment, Domino, who held the [Brand], knew nothing about it, but facing the undead creatures rushing over, Domino could no longer hesitate.

[Brand] Although their memories were wiped out, making them unable to recall or tell any of the current situation inside the Marquis of Rennes' territory, it made them an absolutely safe and confidential spies.

However, Lord Renne still kindly granted them the power to protect themselves.

Because he said, [This power is not meant to keep secrets, but to save lives in times of crisis]

And now is the time to start using this power.

Domino took a deep breath, feeling the pulse of the [Brand] deep within him.

Although his memory of the internal affairs of the current Marquis of Rennes was erased, he could still feel how to use that powerful and mysterious force.

He said, "Just believe it."

Domino quickly concentrated his mind, and with a thought, warm light instantly emanated from his chest and gradually covered his entire body.

Regardless of whether the shield light is strong or not, a firm belief has already surged into my heart.

Several zombie maids struggled and pounced on him, endless hatred and hunger burning in their eyes.

The undead's natural hatred for the living, coupled with the orders of their master, makes the situation absolutely not optimistic.

The first zombie held a simple sharp weapon in its hand and stabbed Domino's shoulder fiercely. However, its attack was blocked by an invisible force a few inches away from Domino.

The sharp weapon seemed to hit an invisible wall, making a sharp friction sound and sparks flying.

The zombie tried to use greater force to break through this layer of defense, but no matter how hard it tried, the light remained indestructible.

The second zombie pounced and bit them. They were zombies that had been transformed not long ago, so their teeth were still there.

If human teeth are used without restraint and bite hard, they are enough to bite through most flesh and small bones.

However, let alone the teeth, even the entire rotten face was bounced back the moment it tried to get closer, as if it was touching a piece of the strongest steel or glass.

The zombie's mouth spurted out rotten black blood and it roared in pain, but Domino was unharmed.

It was at this time that Domino felt the light in his chest becoming hotter and hotter. That power was not just a protection, but more like a kind of spiritual support.

And once he is able to hold on, his belief in this set of methods can in turn give it feedback.

Therefore, every time a zombie attack was blocked, his faith became stronger.

Of course, defense alone is not enough. Domino quickly turned his belief into action, and his hands clenched the small dagger in his hands.

Then, as his mind moved, those powers were attached to it, causing Domino's hand to sink suddenly.

A simple-shaped axe was created.

"Oh, this is so embarrassing. I've never seen a battle axe before, so I can only imitate the woodcutter's axe..."

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Domino rolled over to avoid the undead creatures that were pouring in from both sides of the corridor.

This time, in addition to the zombie maids and zombie servants, skeletons and shadows finally appeared.

A zombie maid pounced and bit him, her entire body stank of decay, but for some reason, a large part of its claws were pulled out and turned black with a hint of metallic luster.

Domino turned his feet slightly and dodged quickly, and then the axe transformed from a dagger accurately chopped the zombie's neck.

The head flew off the body, and rotten blood splattered, but was dispersed by the light.

Immediately afterwards, several more skeletons pounced over.

Domino's actions did not hesitate at all.

He swung his hand back, and the handle of the axe suddenly lengthened, then hit the skeleton that was rushing towards him like a short stick.

Against skeletons, the axe's chopping damage will have little effect.

Blunt damage is most effective against Skeletons.

After hitting the two skeletons that were approaching and making room for himself to fight, Domino quickly adjusted the posture of his right hand and used a backhand strike to chop off the skull of one of the skeletons.

This time, the scene looked much better.

"Well, it's much cleaner. At least there's no blood or brain matter this time..."

shhhhh!

And the huge and exaggerated evil shadow of the shadow also pounced on him.

Regarding these undead creatures, they have abilities that are more terrifying than direct damage from zombies and skeletons.

That is, they can feed on any living thing, and they particularly prefer individuals that have not yet been contaminated by evil.

Creatures that live in kindness and piety abandon all their baser thoughts and greatest desires to the darkness, and shadows also starve in this darkness.

The victim's shadow deepens as the shadow slowly drains his strength and physical form.

And when the tasting is finished, its shadow will be free and become a new shadow.

However, Domino's heart was now filled with his trust in Miracol. Far from being afraid, he directly said, "Eating will increase the number of family members. Don't you think it's troublesome?"

Then he clenched the axe in his hands with both hands.

As his mind guided the axe, the edge of the axe began to glow with a faint silver light.

This light is a symbol of the brand that he guides out based on his belief.

Although as time goes by, Sir Victor seems to be releasing more and more undead hidden in the dark and decaying castle.

However, a slight increase in number in a short period of time cannot stop the domino effect.

His movements became more and more smooth, and each strike was carried out with firm belief and strength.

With the blessing of that silver light, his axe seemed to have its own life. Every swing was accompanied by a flash of light, knocking down the zombies or skeletons one by one.

Even the seemingly shapeless shadows would leap to the other wall as if they were burned when they got close.

Domino could feel the power of "Belief" flowing through his body, warm and firm.

This was not only the power bestowed by Lord Ryan to protect their group of envoys and anchors, but also a reflection of their trust and loyalty to Lord Ryan.

It was this belief that allowed him to face this critical moment and fight without hesitation even though he had no idea who Marquis Rennes was, what he had done, or what he had built into the Marquisate of Marquis Rennes.

Several zombie maids pounced on him again. Domino took a deep breath and concentrated all his energy.

He clenched his hands, and the silver light on the axe blade became more and more dazzling.

After a sudden force, the axe swept across with light, and several zombies were chopped off at the same time, and their rotten limbs flew everywhere.

The enemy who managed to survive and approach due to his resistance to the slash was unable to get close because of the shield of light shining on his chest and body.

"I really can't trust myself enough to block all the attacks without any harm."

"But I believe that I will definitely be able to withstand the spent force after being filtered out by my attacks and counterattacks!"

In the end, all the undead creatures within a thirty-five-foot radius of Domino were knocked down.

And through some enemies further away, the light of the banquet hall seemed to be just around the corner.

Domino took a deep breath, feeling the lingering power of the [Brand], and an indescribable peace and satisfaction welled up in his heart.

----------

During this process, Sir Victor, or the guy who called himself Little Victor, just stood there, as if he was unwilling to even walk out of the room. He just leaned against the door frame and watched Domino squeeze forward in the corridor.

The sneer on his face grew more and more intense.

A businessman, not only waving a dagger...but also rolling, jumping, and swinging an axe like the wind?

These changes certainly have their roots, and the increase in strength is not a small amount.

Soon, he discovered that the source of these changes was those strange lights.

Overall, this light gave him the feeling of a sworn warrior or a priest.

But fortunately, if there is any luck, it is that this power is not ultimately the sworn warriors or the priests.

Otherwise, facing a screen full of undead creatures, if the opponent uses a dispel undead spell, everything will return to dust.

And after delaying until now, his goal has been achieved.

The light in front of the opponent's chest has dimmed. As the manipulator, I have finally completed this cat and mouse game.

At the beginning, I was not in a hurry to attack just for the current attack.

Swish!

Bang!

After pausing for a long time, "Little Victor", who seemed to have been staying at the door of the room without doing anything, suddenly burst out with strength and rushed towards Domino, who had cleared the corridor.

The first move was an explosion that almost broke the sound barrier.

On the other side, Domino, who had just been happy for less than a minute, also reacted anxiously.

He suddenly kicked over a table next to him in the corridor, and the candlesticks and various utensils on the table rolled to the ground, forming an obstacle.

But, is it useful?

No!

The speed that had been accumulated for a long time was as fast as lightning, and the figure of "Little Victor" almost formed a blurred shadow in the air.

The tables, candlesticks and various utensils that Domino hastily overturned flew around like pieces of paper under his impact and were unable to stop his advance.

Domino's heart almost jumped out of his chest. Seeing the other party approaching, he could even feel the deadly murderous intent.

"Little Victor" jumped up without hesitation, put his five fingers together to form a knife hand, and then pointed it directly at Domino's chest.

Judging from the momentum, he probably wants to pierce Domino's chest, tear it apart, and then drink blood crazily.

However, at this critical moment——

Little Victor fell down suddenly and stood there.

The spirit that I separated from myself, the one that believed in the God of Dreams, and at this moment, caught the spirit of the leader of the capital in the capital...

Broken.
