The Baby Raising A Devil

Chapter 334

TL: Zimmings

Tri came closer to Emeline and whispered.

“Can you open it?”

“It’s too strong for me…”

“Emeline, you are strong. You were always number one in seminary.”

Emeline shook her head.

Good grades don’t equal being strong.

Born as the daughter of a cardinal, she can use divine power, but the amount of mana falls short of ordinary priests.

That doesn’t mean that she can’t calculate the formula at once to compensate for that. The opposite of Mina who is strong but lacks the brain.

“If the power of the person who put the barrier is temporarily cut off, it would still be worth trying.”

If it was a super-high level barrier, it would have been made by the pope, but could it be solved?

Emeline and Tri narrowed their foreheads and looked at each other.

***

The divine powers of Adrian and the pope collided fiercely. Their fight made my skin tingle.

Even I, who have the same divine power, have this reaction, so it was obvious how painful the others felt.

Among our allies, except for Adrian, I was the only one who had divine power.

“Stand back.”

Having said that, Lea asked.

“You’re not joining?”

“There was a saying that in a whale fight, the shrimp burst.”

If those shrimp intervene in the fight for no reason, they will explode.

That doesn’t mean I can only watch it from afar.

The more agitated the pope was, the more black the things that were in his arms. In it, holy beasts constantly came out.

Adrian’s whip wrapped around the pope. The pope’s face turned pale.

“If… you’re going to beat me…”

As soon as the pope uttered a word, there was a crack in the pile of jewels that had been collected in the shape of a whip.

Adrian’s whip was completely shattered.

Zachary and Sourire rushed to support Adrian. However, they were quickly blocked by the holy beasts.

The holy beasts that blocked them were unique.

If the other looked like a creepy beast, this holy beast looked like a human.

It was also a perfectly fine human being except that its eyes were all white.

According to Stefano, Emeline’s father and former cardinal, this is how humans turn into holy beasts.

1. When the skin melts and the flesh becomes like a rotten corpse, it begins to transform into a holy beast.

It was also said as they start mutating, their physical ability increases.

2. If they completely change into the form of a beast, it’s a success.

In other words, the holy beast is completed only when it looks like a beast.

However, the energy felt this time was unusual.

A vicious energy was flowing out from the finished beast.

In addition, it was slightly different from the failed experiments.

The failed experiment refers to those who stopped in the middle of turning. Because not everyone can become a holy beast, only those who can withstand the power of monsters become holy beasts.

So, unfortunately, at the beginning of step 1, their bodies were rotten or twisted.

‘But it looks very good, only the eyes are weird.’

There wasn’t a single scratch.

Sourire also showed his fangs as if threatened.

He growled and ran towards the holy beast, who was blocking his way.

“This stupid…!”

Zachary shouted.

At the same time, Sourire’s scream echoed.

He was thrown away with a considerable amount of flesh torn off by the enemy.

“Sourire!”

It must be painful. Sourire breathed out and turned back into a human, holding his abdomen full of blood.

The condition was serious. Zachary hurriedly stopped the bleeding, but the wound was bad.

‘It made Sourire like this, which had never been defeated by any holy beast?’

I looked at the enemy who knocked down a strong man like Sourire at once.

It wasn’t a failed experiment and not holy beast at the same time.

‘It is an evolutionary form of holy beast.’

A higher existence than the holy beast that has undergone every steps and got completed.

Then, I suddenly remembered a scene from a while ago.

The scene where the stone in the pope’s arm ate up another stone.

‘If they absorb holy beast, they will had evolution.’

I don’t know how much holy beast it absorbed, but I know one thing.

There was no one on our end who can stop that.

The only thing that can kill holy beast is a weapon made of magic.

In other words, mages can only support us killing holy beast.

We have to kill it with a physical attack, and Sourire, who has the strongest physical attack among us, quickly take that role.

The evolutionary holy beast approached us.

“The barrier! Hurry! Lea, take the holy beasts attention!”

Lea, who took the holy beasts attention, promptly turned around.

A ball of fire that missed Lea, the target, was bounced by Aragon’s reflective barrirr and flew into the evolutionary beast.

But nothing happened.

The evolutionary holy beast did not block the attack of other holy beast. It got hit as it is. There seemed to be no damage dealt with.

Adrian was dealing with the pope. It means he can’t help us either.

At least he dealt with the pope, so it was fortunate that the pope did not join our fight.

Even so, it doesn’t change that I’m about to die.

I stumbled back, staring at the evolutionary holy beast.

“Don’t come. Don’t come.”

I’m going to die. The only thing that can be done is a threat.

‘Think. There is definitely a way.’

I bit my lips tightly and moved only my eyes to look around.

But it was then.

“…Me-ria.”

What?

People in my unit, who were stepping back due to the barrier I made, looked at the evolutionary holy beast at once.

Obviously it was talking.

It called me Meria…

“Me, Meria, Meria.”

“…….”

“Me, ri, a. My Meri, a.”

How could it have absorbed the holy beasts?

Suddenly, I thought of that. Come to think of it, I had never seen it absorb other beasts when we were fighting the beasts.

And it called me Meria.

As soon as the evolutionary holy beast reached out to me, Lea blocked its hand with a sword.

“The central army will come soon. Other reinforcements will also be here. Until then, keep retreating-”

“Lea, step back.”

“Yes?”

“Step back!”

I said to Lea and approached the holy beast.

“Excuse me.”

“Me, Meria, Meria.”

Carefully reaching out my hand, the holy beast calmly stopped on the spot.

‘I see. It’s the alter ego of the pope!’

A devil will be able to absorb beasts.

Even the pope, who absorbed the power of God and became the master of the devil!

“You were created as a clone of the pope.”

That’s why the pope’s body was so damaged. To the point where it smells rotten.

That’s why the pope can’t easily bring out the devil while dealing with Adrian.

It was impossible to properly use the powers of the devil by sharing power with it.

As the evolutionary holy beast was made of the pope, it still cares about me.

Of course, that’s why the pope was more disgusting. It was creepy that what remained after losing all of his common sense was an obsession with Meria.

‘Perhaps…’

***

The pope cut down the source of divine power of Adrian with a distorted arm.

Adrian opened his eyes and looked at the pope, who was gasping and breathing heavily.

So far, the battle has been stagnant. However, as the pope’s eyes began to turn red, he was being pushed little by little.

‘Damn it.’

The holy beast approaching Leblaine was quite different from the previous one.

It was dangerous to leave it like that. He could handle the pope, but he is losing more energy.

He was disappointed with himself who couldn’t protect her properly even after leaving her behind.

Foolish weakling.

A useless man who can’t even protect her properly.

Suddenly, he remembered a mysterious blonde man he had seen when he was young.

It was the day before he went to the temple where he first met Leblaine when he saw the unidentified man.

He couldn’t see his face because he was wearing a hood, but he remembered his back clearly.

He came to his maternal grandfather’s mansion out of the blue and stopped him from dragging Adrian to the laboratory.

At that time, his maternal grandfather was a maniac.

He even summoned a devil to turn into the empress, and Adrian, the first son of the empress, was regarded as an exceptional grandson, but he could not surpass Duke Marche.

After Empress Gremory, unable to maintain her power, left to another world, the Marquis Chantelle seemed to be in a tight spot.

“Your Majesty, don’t worry. I will give something great to you.”

With the pretext of protecting the prince who had lost his mother, Adrian was brought to the Chantelle family and all kinds of experiments were carried out.

That’s how Amy and Amand, which were Adrian’s powers, were born.

When Adrian was having a hard time keeping Amy alive even with a huge number of human sacrifices, his maternal grandfather went completely insane.

That day, his maternal grandfather dragged Adrian to the laboratory.

“I can’t take it anymore. More, more…”

His maternal grandfather muttered, and Adrian had a foreboding that it might be the last day of his life.

The moment the laboratory door opened.

A blonde man wearing a robe appeared.
