Chapter 155 Heroes of the Beginner Village
"What do you mean?" the headless knight asked, puzzled.
"You might not believe it, but actually I took Huihui to bomb your fortress."
"What?"
The headless horseman seemed startled for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Why?"
"you guess."
The headless horse started shaking again, its armor and helmet making noises; it was furious.
Why would you let it guess?
Do you really think it's just there to play along with them?
"What's wrong with you guys? Are there any normal people in this newbie village? Why are you acting so cocky in front of me, a cadre of the Demon King's army? Do you really think I won't kill you?"
"So why don't you kill us?" Darkness asked directly.
"No, you don't have any ulterior motives, do you?" Youyou asked uncertainly.
"Shichen, what exactly is its purpose?" Huihui turned to ask Shichen.
How do you know I know?
"Didn't you take me to the Sky-Bomb Castle? You must have known it lived there, right? Did you do it on purpose?"
"Okay, that's about right."
"Wow, is Big Brother Shi really that amazing? He even knows what the Demon King's army's executives are planning to do." Sato Kazuma was very excited.
With Tokiko acting so confidently now, and with Aqua by his side, he has absolutely no reason to worry about anything going wrong.
"What does Time want to do?" Aqua asked, leaning closer.
"Isn't it all because of you?"
"Huh? Does this have anything to do with me?"
"This guy is actually here to investigate the sudden fluctuations in divine power that appeared earlier, and that was when you came down."
"What? So that's how it is? You, a mere immortal, dare to investigate me? You don't want to live anymore, do you?"
"It was already dead, wasn't it?" Kazuma Sato retorted.
"That's right, then let it be completely destroyed!" Aqua stormed up to the headless knight.
"Who are you? And how do you know why I'm here?" the headless rider asked Shi Chen incredulously.
"Isn't this simple? The only one who could threaten you is the goddess, and there was such a big commotion before... What else could you be here for?"
"You're so smart? And you're so handsome too? It's outrageous! But thankfully you're a lolicon."

"...You still dare to call me a lolicon? You're asking for death!" Shi Chen's face darkened.
"Oh? Commendable courage. Although I don't know how you blocked my curse just now, you don't think you can beat me, do you?" The headless knight was very confident.
After all, this is just a beginner village, and he is a cadre of the Demon King's army. How powerful can a few complete strangers in front of him be?
"Hey! Have you forgotten about me?" Aqua interrupted, annoyed.
"You? Who are you?" The headless rider finally looked properly at Aqua.
"Hmph! I am the High Priestess, specializing in dealing with undead like you!" Aqua proudly introduced herself with her hands on her hips, without revealing her goddess identity.
"The High Priest? That's a bit troublesome, but I'm still one of the Demon King's officers. I'm not so pathetic as to be purified by a low-ranking High Priest in a town like this. Besides, I have ways to deal with High Priests... By the way, what exactly did you mean by 'related to you'? Are you related to the goddess?"
The headless knight seemed completely at ease.
"You're so long-winded! You're clearly an undead being, yet you're so arrogant. It's outrageous! Just disappear!"
Turnundead (Holy Exorcism)!
Aqua, too lazy to waste words with the headless knight, directly unleashed her magic upon it. White light spread out from her towards the headless knight, quickly closing in on it.
However, the headless rider remained calm and composed, showing no fear of Aqua's magic and no intention of dodging.
As a cadre of the Demon King's army, it must be quite confident in itself.
"Heh~ Did you think the Demon King's army officers would go to the battlefield unprepared to deal with the priests? I'm under the protection of His Majesty the Demon King, and I have a very high resistance to holy magic... Aaaaaah!"
Before the headless rider could finish speaking in his local dialect, he was enveloped in a soft light and immediately screamed in agony.
"W-what's going on?" it asked, trembling and somewhat incredulous, ignoring the smoke coming from its body.
"Huh? That's strange. Why isn't it working?" Aqua scratched her head, a little confused.
"It's still working," Shi Chen said with a smile. "Look, it's already emitting black smoke, isn't it? It's effective. Let's do it again."
"That's not right. Normally it should just disappear completely, how could it just be emitting smoke?"
"After all, he's a Demon King executive, so a few more times will do."
"That seems to make sense, then I'll..."
"Dream on!"
The headless knight suddenly reached out and interrupted Aqua's spellcasting.
"I admit you're very capable, but you show absolutely no respect for me. Seriously, don't you guys have any manners at all? Don't you know how to introduce yourselves before facing an enemy?"
"Who wants to introduce yourself to me! Just die already! Take this...:::"
"etc!"
The headless knight interrupted Aqua again, saying in a calm tone, "Since you are unwilling to introduce yourselves, then I will go first. I was a knight in my previous life, and I must still show some basic courtesy."
The horse beneath the headless horseman began to back away in small steps, but no one paid attention; instead, they listened to it begin to introduce itself.
"I am Beldia, one of the Demon King's officers, the Headless Knight Beldia! I possess this armor specially blessed by His Majesty the Demon King, and with my own power, the exorcism magic of ordinary priests is completely useless against me... Hmm, that should be it... Um, let me ask you, what is your current level? Are you really a newbie? This town is a gathering place for newbies, isn't it?"
"Who cares about you? Take another Turnundead!"
"Aaaaah! You... how can you be so uncivilized?"
"Huh? Why is it still not working?"
Everyone says I'm useless to them...
"Ah! This guy is trying to escape!" Huihui suddenly shouted.
Her shout drew everyone's attention, and only then did they realize that the headless horseman had somehow drifted further and further away from them.
"I know, this thing is afraid of Aqua's magic, it's trying to run away!" Darkness shouted.
"I'm not trying to run away!"
The headless horseman retorted, "I... I just didn't want to lower myself to the level of you insignificant characters."
"Hmph, I almost believed it!"
"Damn it! Don't push your luck! If I really make a move, your entire town will be wiped out! I'm immortal, I don't know what fatigue is, and you rookie adventurers can't hurt me at all!"
"Then why did you run away?"
"As the leader, I certainly can't lead the charge."
"Oh, you mean you're going back to get reinforcements? Damn it, then I definitely won't let you get away with this!"
"Alright, take another Turnundead (Holy Exorcism)!"
A magic circle appeared beneath the headless horseman's feet, which was then engulfed by a white light that seemed to pierce the sky.
"Aaaaaah—!"
The headless knight clutched his head and collapsed, screaming in agony, his body billowing black smoke, but that was all he could do.
The horse, however, had disappeared.
"What should I do? What should I do? Time, my magic really doesn't seem to work on it, this is so strange."
Aqua panicked a little. She ran to Toki's side, not knowing what to do.
Exorcism magic can only manifest in this way; it won't eliminate the Headless Horseman by continuously stacking spells. This isn't the so-called "wearing down" technique.
Tokishi knew the best way to deal with it was with water, but Aqua might not be careful and could flood the whole town, which would cause other problems.
"Okay, I'll do it then."
"Shichen, do you have any ideas?"
"There are quite a few, but let's keep it simple. By the way, Youyou, you guys can just cast some spells and gain some experience, and Zhen, you can just throw some short swords."
"good!"
"What about me? What about me?" Darkness asked expectantly.
"You just stay here."
"Hmm~ How domineering!" Darkness exclaimed excitedly.
Shi Chen ignored her, gathered a ball of golden flame in his palm, and flung it toward the headless knight.
Before the headless knight could react, golden flames landed on it, and then the flames intensified, instantly engulfing it.
"Ahhh—what is this? How could this be? No, no!"
Amidst cries of anguish, the headless horseman was burned to ashes, leaving not even his armor, and not even a trace of char on the ground.
"That's it? That's all?" Kazuma Sato asked, stunned.
"So you still want to do this?" Shi Chen asked with a smile.
"It's... a bit unreal."
"Shichen, you're amazing!" Youyou's little face was flushed.
"Hmph~ Not bad." Huihui gave a snort.
"Is that all?"
"The Demon King's army's officers were just dealt with like that?"
"Are we saved?"
"Is Shichen really that powerful?"
"He actually took care of the Demon King's army's officers just like that. No wonder he's a lolicon."
"This is our lolicon hero from the newbie village!"
"A hero with a love for young girls!"
"A hero with a love for young girls!"
Then everyone realized that the Headless Horseman had been defeated, and they began to shout that he was a hero.
"Who's a lolicon?!"
