Sins Paradise: Domination System

Two-story house made from dark wood.

Based on the building's shape and where it was erected, it probably had an underground area.

No one was inside the house, and no red dot appeared on my radar yet as I had yet to step inside the barrier.

'Let's see… let's bring [Caliburn] just in case.'

Making sure that all my equipment was ready, I entered the special entrance, and my <Presence Detection> radar was updated immediately. The whole new area, which was around 50 meters wide in diameter, was immediately filled with red color.

"Woah…" I let out an amazed voice as I looked on the ground below me, "This makes everything easier."

It would be troublesome if there were dots other than reds. What I meant was neutral and friendly ones.

I would need to be careful if there were any. However, this place was filled with red ones. One <Appraisal> was enough to find out that people hiding in this hidden part of the map were from Hell's Cult, and I even recognized some. They were the intruders from last night.

'So they have been revived. The fact that they are here means the magic item probably is also located underground.'

If I destroyed the revival magic item, their revival process would slow down quite a bit as the remnant of their souls searched for the nearby church.

'We can put them all in jail at once.'

Although I wouldn't get any information from inside their base, we could always interrogate them later. That would suffice. The higher-ups probably knew a lot of information related to their cult.

"That's decided then."

I unsheathed [Caliburn] and raised it above my head. There was no need for buff, I only activated <Limit Break> as the condition to use that certain skill.

Holding back was… not necessary. For the first time ever, I would unleash this skill's full potential. The one that even killed Charybdis and injured Scylla to half of her HP even when I held it back.

"5000 MP should be enough. I don't want to change the topography too much."

This mountain might disappear… No… I was certain it would become a valley in the aftermath of the attack. But that wouldn't be a big problem.

A special entrance that was located between Capital City and the North area would serve as a problem for transportation. They needed to move around it or create a tunnel if they wanted to go straight to the sea, thus hindering the economy as transporting things took more time and effort.

However, destroying a mountain like this would cause a bit of panic.

So I contacted Queen Eve. I knew she was busy with everything that happened, but she would accept my communication request nonetheless.

(S-Sir Arthur? Do you need something from me?)

Her voice rang in the [Earring of Communication]. Her breath sounded heavy as if she had just finished a straining activity.

Ignoring that, I spoke.

"Queen Eve, this is an urgent situation. I am cleaning up some mess right now, and it will probably create a loud noise. Can you please order the knights to explain that everything is alright to the citizens?"

(What do you mean–)

"Just think of this as me owing the favor, my Queen. I have no time, so I am really counting on your cooperation."

Having said that, I ended the communication and took off the [Earring of Communication], replacing it with the one connected to Sana. The cute Archbishop was still in the Capital City's church as she hadn't greeted the Queen yet.

The call was answered almost immediately, and her soft voice, which sounded different from her sexy moans, rang near my ear.

(Yes, Sir Arthur? Do you miss me already?) She asked with a playful giggle.

"There will be many Hell's Cult cultists revived in the span of today and tomorrow in either Capital City or a city near the mountain range north of the Capital. Prepare the investigation squad and make sure they are all jailed."

I briefly explained with a serious tone, giving no chance for Sana to react.

"I want them to be interrogated thoroughly, especially those who have high positions. Ask about their hiding places and what they planned in the Sin Kingdom; the latter will be the priority. Also, please calm the citizens from the shock that follows in a few seconds. I am counting on you, Sana."

(Please consider it done. Your wish is our command. May the Goddess blessing be with you.)

"Thank you," I grinned and ended the communication.

[Caliburn] had glowed brightly, basked in golden light. As I communicated with them, I kept channeling MP into the blade to prepare for my ultimate attack.

Those people underground surely had noticed me accumulating MP if either one of them had <Mana Sense>. I doubted they had no Mage as they could prepare such a complex summoning ritual last night.

In fact, I heard many hurried footsteps going up right now.

"They invaded our party last night…" I muttered slowly as the light from my blade spread upward, creating an illusory golden sword that pierced the cloud. "… It's only polite if I intrude on their party too."

The footsteps became louder, and my blade trembled and created a shrill sound. My attack was ready to be unleashed.

But… What was the fun of it if my enemy couldn't see it? I needed to implant horrors on these people who did as they pleased and tried to bring this world to chaos.

Only then would they realize… That going against me was a mistake from the start.

Soon, the door of the dark wood building burst open from inside, and some cultists ran out with anger and fear mixed in their expressions. I didn't send any bloodlust, as it was useless in the face of my enormous Mana that swirled around this place and distorted the space.

"He's!"

"The Paladin from that wretched religion!"

"Are you here to hinder us once again?! Don't stop the descent of our real God!"

"Hinder you?" I asked as a low chuckle escaped my lips. "No. Why should I?" I questioned.

They looked confused but still wary. I must've looked like a strange person to them.

Who would spit such nonsense when he was preparing an attack that could destroy this mountain? Only I would do that.

Still…

"I am here to destroy your cult."

… I needed to tell them clearly or they would misunderstand.

As soon as I said that, I swung [Caliburn] down.
