Chapter 136: The Abandoned Child of the Church
🕑 Added 2025-03-03 13:34:31 +0000 UTCBlake looked at the two girls with a strange expression on his face as they wolfed down the five-person family meal and piled-up plates. He even wondered if they hadn’t eaten for days.
"How can this be? Even if we are in poverty, we are saved by the person who is with devils. What a sin this is."
Xenovia was lying on the table with cold sweat, looking like she was in pain because of her faith, but Blake knew that she was just full.
"We sold our souls to the devil..."
Irina also said with her head covered in pain, which made Blake roll his eyes.
"Blake, you specially invited us to eat all this food. Is there something important you want to discuss?"
Then, Xenovia’s face suddenly became serious as she asked.
"If you want to reform and come back with us, you are most welcome."
Irina also raised her head slightly and said with a hint of expectation.
"That’s not necessary. I think my life is good now."
Hearing this, Blake stroked Kanna’s head, who also ate a lot and looked satisfied, and said calmly.
"Let me ask you one question. Did the Church only send the two of you here to carry out the holy sword recovery mission?"
"I see. You want our information?"
Xenovia and Irina paused, then said in a deep voice.
"But do you think you can buy us off with a meal?"
"It doesn’t matter if you say it or not. Anyway, I’ve already guessed this. The Church only sent you two. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been so weak to negotiate with Rias and would have messed up long ago. It’s because you’re not strong enough and can’t create more enemies that this happens."
Blake said to himself, not taking the two girls’ words seriously.
This caused Xenovia and Irina’s faces to stiffen. They didn’t expect it to be guessed so easily. It was a mistake.
"It was seen. But so what? The two of us are enough."
Then, Xenovia pretended to be calm and looked at Blake, speaking in a deep voice. Irina also looked solemn.
"Your behavior is arrogant and suicidal. The other party is a cadre of the Fallen Angels. What else are you two doing but sending yourselves to die? Or are you regarded as abandoned by the Church?"
Blake looked at the two holy sword users with a smile, mercilessly exposing the dark side within.
"Please don’t underestimate our faith. Right, Xenovia?"
Hearing this, Irina seemed to be stimulated by something and stood up directly.
"That’s right. The Church believes that if Excalibur is used by the Fallen Angels, it’s better to destroy all of Excalibur. Our mission is to at least prevent the Fallen Angels from using Excalibur. If that’s the case, we can die. Only Excalibur can compete with Excalibur."
The two girls’ eyes were filled with determination. For this mission, they had already prepared to sacrifice their lives.
Is Excalibur the only one that can compete with Excalibur? However, this pseudo-holy sword will be easily destroyed by me.
In response, Blake shook his head slowly.
"Good awareness, but extremely stupid. With your strength, even if you hold a complete Excalibur, you can’t be the opponent of Kokabiel. You, who are familiar with the Bible, should know that the other party is a strong man who survived a battle like Great War of God and Great Satans, right?"
Then, Blake calmly stated this fact.
Not to mention that Xenovia and Irina had only reached Mid Class Devil strength with this pseudo-holy sword and defeated Kiba in the original state. However, this was due to the bonus of the holy sword to the Devil.
Facing Kokabiel, the role of the holy sword isn’t that great.
Moreover, this holy sword is still defective.
Not to mention the defective ones they held. Even if they were allowed to take the complete Excalibur, or even the real Excalibur in Blake’s hand, they couldn’t be the opponent of Kokabiel.
Even when Blake relied on the Sword of Promised Victory during his training in the dungeon world, he could only swing the most powerful slash with the High Class Devil destructive power. In the end, he would lose strength and run out of magic.
In the original work, Xenovia also took out the holy sword Durandal, which was also at the top grade sword, but was still beaten by Kokabiel. This is the fact.
A person’s strength isn’t just about weapons; being strong is also very important.
After understanding Blake’s words, Xenovia and Irina’s faces froze.
That’s right, they didn’t have the confidence to defeat Kokabiel, and they had long suspected that the chance of survival was less than one in a hundred, so they were determined to destroy the holy sword with the resolve to die.
As Blake revealed, they were the abandoned children of the Church.
"...Nothing to say? Now that the bottom is clear, it’s easy to talk. The purpose of my coming to you is..."
Xenovia and Irina were silent. Blake’s crystal-blue eyes flashed slightly, and he was ready to talk business.
However, before he finished speaking, he seemed to have noticed something, stood up, and looked into the distance through the huge glass window.
There, Blake’s familiar breath and a sacred breath mixed together, constantly colliding. The hatred and hostility that soared to the sky, even from such a distance, Blake could clearly feel it.
"Kiba, has he finally appeared? And he seems to be fighting with someone."
Blake narrowed his eyes and analyzed the situation clearly in an instant.
"Xenovia, Irina, let’s talk about the other things later. The Holy Swords have appeared."
Then, Blake looked at the two women who were in doubt and said in a deep voice.
"Holy Sword....?!"
Hearing this, Xenovia and Irina were also startled. They stood up at the same time, looking at Blake with a stern look.
Even though they were a little confused by what Blake said just now, their mission was to take back the Holy Sword, which had never changed.
"Kanna, let’s go."
Without paying attention to Xenovia and Irina’s surprise, Blake simply picked up Kanna, threw a stack of banknotes on the table, called out to the waiter waiting outside, and quickly rushed out of the private room.

I plan to increase the number of advance chapters of this to 20 by the end of the week.
