"Sir Jester, I have been wanting to speak with you." He said, his voice deep and resonant. His eyes looked as if he could see through everything and nothing could hide from him. Zero raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything. He waited for the Pope to continue. "First of all, I want to thank you for saving our Saintess and Holy Knights from the Devil Contractors. I have received reports from Captain Zain and without you, it seemed that they would have been dead." Zero nodded, acknowledging the Pope's…-

While eating, one Holy Knight approached our table. He was stopped by Adeline who had recovered and was back to being Saintess Amelia's maid. It seems that he was there to pass on some message and after having talked to Adeline, he went back. Adeline then approached us. "Saintess Amelia, Holy Knight, wants to pass on the message to Saintess Amelia and Sir Jester." ??? Zero was confused. It was okay if the message was for Saintess Amelia, but for him? "Adeline, what was the Holy Knight…

After their heartfelt discussion, Amelia and Zero decided to go to the church's dining hall for dinner. It was a big hall with high ceilings adorned with intricate murals depicting religious scenes, and long wooden tables with cushioned chairs neatly arranged for the church members to dine. As Amelia and Zero entered the dining hall, they were surprised to see that the holy knights were already gathered at the tables, engaged in lively conversation and laughter. It seemed like they were eagerly waiting…

As she made her way through the corridors, Amelia couldn't help but ponder on Cardinal Hildred's words. She had always believed that she was doing the right thing for the church and that her actions were guided by her faith. She also believed that the Church would always do the right thing and fight for people's lives rather than pride and wealth. But hearing Cardinal Hildred's accusations had left her feeling uncertain. She doesn't want to have hatred for anyone nor doubt others' integrity, especially…

"I heard that you are the one to save Amelia. Did you really kill the Rank-S Devil Contractor? I don't think you can with your abilities." Priestess Helena said while approaching Zero. Zero glanced at her before drinking his coffee. "Yeah!" He answered. "Is that so?" Priestess Helena said. Her voice was filled with irritation. Even though she was not Saintess, her position was very high in the church and she had never been treated as such. However, she soon calmed down and smiled at Zero. "I think…

They traveled through various human cities and monster forests before finally reaching the Sanctum Aurea. There was no problem with the journey except for some monsters who occasionally ambushed them. However, with the Holy Knights, they were easily taken care of. "Sir Jester, thank you once again! I couldn't have lived without your help!' "No need to worry about that. I did what I had to do. Anyway, be careful on your way." Christian and his team bid goodbye to Zero and the Saintess group. Christian…

"Tell me truthfully, where have you been for the last two years?" Saintess Amelia asked. They were inside the carriage with the only other person being Adeline. "Somewhere you can't reach!" Zero replied. "Tsk! There is no place that I can't reach. You don't seem to know my privilege as a Saintess." She said. Since people show different behaviors when she is identified as Saintess, Saintess Amelia doesn't normally like being associated with the title of Saintess. However, it was a different case for…

-SHATTER! Lord Aamon, a Rank-SS devil, was livid with rage. "TRASHES!" Lord Aamon yelled as he threw the cup on the ground. Right now, the team of Devil Contractors that he had sent was back and he was feeling very happy and excited. He thought that they had completed their mission and killed the Saintess. For existence like Aamon who is Rank-SS Devil, there was no fear except the Saintess. It is not like Saintess would be able to kill him but with Saintess' help, he would be very weak and if Saintess…

Many Devil Contractors who were near Zero shifted their focus to Zero and were going to attack him, but Zero already used his technique Nightfall Shackles which trapped them in their position. They couldn't move at all. The Holy Knights were confused for a second before realizing that the Devil Contractors that they were fighting with are constricted by the shadows. They could easily guess the culprit for such an event. -SLASH! -SLASH! They didn't hesitate and lunged their sword into their body. Rank-B…

Seeing the scene, they didn't know how to react. The scene is as unbelievable as it can get. Not only was Rank-S beheaded, but the time it took was also only a few minutes. This kind of thing is unbelievable even when two Rank-S were to fight. It would take hours before the winner is declared. And the winner would also not be dead. At most, he/she might escape, and only die if he/she continues to fight even when he is at a disadvantage, which is a rare case. Most of the time, they would prefer to run…
