Chapter 332 Grand debut
Holy Roman Empire, Morenita, as a country with a combination of politics and religion, the city center of Holy Roman Empire is also the cathedral. At this moment, the regional bishop sitting in the bishop's office is reviewing today's documents.

"Another fellow church member has died? This world is so unstable. Why haven't the Knights of the Church found the murderer yet? Each generation is really worse than the previous one! Back then..."

Looking at the official obituary of a church member whom he had once met in the "Garden of Eden", he couldn't help but reveal anger, but there was a hint of fear in that emotion.

As the country with the most complex environment, the most resistance forces, the most frequent cult activities, and the most common nightmares in the world, the death rate of clergy at the level of bishops and archbishops in the church has always been high. But high death rate does not mean that there is no need to be afraid.

After flipping through the internal documents, the bishop couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The criminals this time were suspected to be the assassination organization that had been focusing on assassinating high-level church officials for two centuries - the "Troublemakers".

"According to the habits of this organization, they will not commit crimes twice in a row in the same parish. After each operation, they will generally remain silent for about one month to half a year before committing another crime..."

The bishop secretly recalled the history of the assassin organization named "The Troupe" and couldn't help but sigh. Shinra has never lacked various resistance forces, many of which were high-ranking officials of countries that were destroyed by Shinra in the past. Old organizations are wiped out every year, but new organizations always emerge. For example, this "The Troupe" can be seen at a glance as the style of Ilvia, which destroyed the country three hundred years ago, but it is impossible to catch them even if you want to.

Because back then, the Holy Roman Empire pursued complete destruction in its fight against pagans. Not to mention being taller than a wheel, as long as it was related to paganism, even the yolk of an egg would be shaken to pieces!

In other words, if anyone knew who was a survivor, he would not be alive today. Those who survived were either "dead" in the official archives, or there was no relevant record at all. As for arresting stage play troupes... Do you know how many troupes in Shinra tour around the country and even the world?
Moreover, this organization has been in existence for more than 200 years. All the old and new theater troupes that can be investigated have already been investigated. Not to mention that this organization is most likely just a theater troupe with a name. How can a thief who steals things with magic as a gimmick also be a magician in normal times?
Shaking his head to suppress the fear in his heart, the bishop put the obituary aside, intending to consider whether to attend later, but at this moment, the melody of Ding Dong suddenly rang in his ears.

It is a kind of jumping, peculiar texture that cannot be displayed by any traditional musical instrument, but the interwoven melody has a catchy magic.

"Who is it?! Who is playing it in public in the church?!"

The bishop stood up suddenly, with a pleading look in his angry eyes, as if he was praying for someone to respond to this accusation. But the next moment, he heard a voice that was not human.

"He offered a sacrifice to Bacchus~
"Sacrifice with songs and wine~
"Elegance and sweetness compose a bloody prelude~"

The originally bright office was suddenly covered with a layer of blood, and the light coming in from the window also turned scarlet, turning the originally holy setting into a divine hall that was desecrated by the devil.

A figure wearing a gorgeous cloaked gown and a half-mask covering his face appeared in the room. He placed a small golden wine glass on the bishop's desk, and a pair of daggers fell into his hands.

No one knew how he appeared in the bishop's office, which should have had a complete security system, but the bishop knew that he was in big trouble!
The holy light lit up in the blood-red room. The bishop, who exuded a holy aura, did not attempt to fight, but rushed straight to the window.

However, the assassin, who was still singing with his neck raised, blocked his way like a ghost.

"Clang!" With a crisp sound, the cross sword transformed by the holy emblem was easily blocked, but the bishop standing with the sword widened his eyes - "Inquisition... Inquisition?!"

The bishop's eyes were filled with disbelief as he looked at the man who had crossed his swords into a cross and exuded a terrifying aura. Although he now held a high position, he was from a legitimate Knights Guardian. When he was training in the Garden of Eden, he was also taught combat skills by a retired Inquisition instructor!

But at this moment, the sacred scripture that should have been chanted loudly while swinging the sword was replaced by a song with a strange tone, but one that made people want to listen unconsciously.

And this assassin, who was singing in an inhuman voice, was pointing his sword at himself!
"Who the hell are you?!"

Holding the holy emblem tightly, the bishop shouted sternly. Although Shinra adheres to the caste system that the son of a bishop can still be the bishop, as a country that has engraved the concept of "bloodline determines achievement" into common sense, these high-caste people often have better talents.

Even though he hadn't fought for a long time after becoming a bishop, at this moment when his life was threatened, his memories of past battles were quickly returning!
"I have prepared hell for my enemies~
"Use music and singing as weapons~
"Killing and death bear witness to the meaning of existence~"

The man answered the bishop's questions with singing, brandishing his two swords to the melody. The clash of weapons sounded like clear drumbeats, accompanying his voice with inhuman charm.

"Someone! Come quickly!"

While doing his best to resist the opponent's attack, the bishop used the structure technique to increase the volume, wanting to call on the knights of the church. He vaguely realized that the reason why the opponent had not taken him down was not because of his own strength, but because -

The other party also regarded this battle as a performance!

In a theatrical performance, it is obviously impossible to let the fighting scene end easily before the song is finished!
However, this is also his chance to escape!
He quickly recalled the knowledge taught by his instructor and tried his best to deflect every attack. The G·I force field quietly condensed and turned into an iron hammer infused with faith, which he struck hard on the wall.

In an instant, an indescribable blood-red glow shattered, and the feeling of being isolated from the world suddenly disappeared, but the high-pitched singing continued.

"He seeks secrets from the audience~
"Tragedy with sorrow and fear~
"Blood and madness set the tone for revenge~"

The door was pushed open, and the Knight of the Church, who had come following the sound, rushed into the room as the melody had not yet completely ended. What he saw was the bishop with his head and neck separated, and a man holding a cup of blood in a golden wine glass, singing the last line of the melody.

After the song ended, the figure disappeared in the room. All that remained was a circle of empty space that seemed to avoid even the flow of blood, and a small wine glass filled with the bishop's blood placed in the middle of the space.
