Hakai No Miko Volume 1 Chapter 69 (1/2)

“It's no use anymore! We have to run away Let's escape!”

The one who raised that pathetic screan Priest Mildas

Until the start of the battle, Mildas lied on his back with his legs outstretched on top of a palanquin, which lined up with Darius' chariot and was shouldered byout his belly that surpassed corpulence He thought that he could treat hi annihilated if he stayed together with the general leading the entire arhly suffered Not only was he forced tostones thrown at him by the filthy birds

And not just that, next he heard that those zoan are going to charge at full force In Mildas eyes so at the head of the eneh defeat had been set in stone, couldn't be considered as anything but the act of sheer et away quickly!”

However, there's not a single person responding to Mildas

For Mildas, as under the impression that anyone will listen to and obey his words, the words of a priest of the great Holy Faith, it was a bizarre spectacle going beyond his understanding Moreover, being hit by the bloodthirst seeping out of the soldiers' bodies, who are eagerly and i for Darius' order to make a suicide attack, he feels sick Mildas voiced out his regret while having greasy sweat trickle down all over his face

“After all it was a uy…!”

However, that was a verbal slip

Naturally Darius raged after hearing that

“You bastard! Do you know the one leading these rebels!?”

It was just the e, but as one nore that rethe rebels There's the possibility that it wouldn't have resulted in such unsightly defeat if they had known the details in advance Welling up with anger close to hatred towards Mildas, who concealed that inforh it was after the fact, Mildas restrains his ue, but words once spoke can't be taken back anymore

“Spit it out! What do you son of a bitch know!?”

Affected by Darius' wrath, the soldiers around Mildas become instantly lared at hi surrounded by bloodthirst that felt as if his whole body would be skewered if he said soes into an expression of being on the verge of bursting into tears He surveys his vicinity looking for so to help hile person that seemed to have pity with Mildas to be found in this location

Guessing that he had no way of escape anyuy is, a Divine Son…s—”

“I can't hear! Speak loud and clear!”

Alongside Darius' angry roar, the thrust spearheads of the soldiers close the distance without hesitation Mildas, who quietly screamed with a “Hiii” due to that, raised his voice into a loud one after becouy is a Divine Son!”

The soldiers stir due to the unexpected words fro that a Divine Son of the Hu with other races!?”

It's natural for Darius to think that it's so if he's told about a hu in a fluster

“No, that's not it!”

If a Divine Son of the Human God liberated sub-huht very well shake the foundation of the Holy Faith's doctrine that advocates the superiority of the human race If that happened, let alone his authority as priest of that Holy Faith, even his life would be in danger

“That guy is Aura's Divine Son!!”

Darius her due to the na ever heard before

“Aura!? What's that, this Aura!?”

Without thinking of the consequences, as he tries too hard to dissolve thethe existence of a Goddess that was hidden by the Holy Faith

“Aura is the Goddess who killed the Creator and gave birth to the The Seven! She's a Greater Goddess older than The Seven! She's a great Goddess governing over death and destruction!”

Those words turn into an invisible shock, bursting in the hearts of Darius and the others

Not only the soldiers present, but even Darius beco surprise due to the existence of a dreadful Goddess they hear about for the first ti of a battlefield

After a short time, whispers leaked out between the soldiers Frailthe contents of Mildas' speech within their mouths

“Aura…?”

“Aura, the Goddess of Death and Destruction…?”

Like a ripple, thosethe soldiers

“The Divine Son of Aura!”

“The Divine Son of Aura, the Goddess of Death and Destruction!”

The ripples overlap with each other and turn into a single wave

“The Divine Son of the Goddess of Death and Destruction!”

“The Divine Son of Death and Destruction!”

And, what had beco the hearts of the soldiers

“”Divine Son of Destruction!!””

Those were screa spirit until then, were obviously dyed with the color of trepidation

Darius deeply regretted pressing Mildas for answers

All those present in this place are veteran soldiers who got through ether with Darius Even if the enemy ar as they were together with Darius Of course that's because those trusting Darius have been taught that they would gain eternal life after being called to the Human God's side once they heroically died in battle as soldiers

That's why they don't fear to die while fighting

But, that coes if they kill a divine child

If they kill a divine child, they ht incur the wrath of a God

That possibility encompassed a dread that was yet different froends, there was a huant Genobanda incurred the anger of The Seven After having his appearance transforlyof excreta located at the bottom of the planet And it's said that even now Genobanda is begging the Gods for coh the excreta in the depths of the planet where no light ever shi+nes down to

This is a faend commonly-shared by all seven races of the Seldeas Continent If it's a person living on that continent, regardless of their race, everyone will be raised by their parents while being warned “A bad child that doesn't listen will turn into Genobanda” during their childhood Calling someone else “Genobanda” has also become the worst-possible insult

And, the soldiers feared the a divine child

However, that's a needless anxiety
