In the silent chapel of the new kingdom, a single Pope was leading a silent prayer to the being he worshipped.

He prayed earnestly along with 731 young priests and nuns behind him. He silently chanted the sacred words of the ancient testament.

Bang!!!

Suddenly the door was flung open violently. A priestess was entering in hurry. She had disheveled appearance and looked tired from running toward the place in panic.

The solemn atmosphere was disturbed. The eyes of the priests we're directed at her.

"Sister Valliere!! Do you know that you action has disrupted our prayer?!!"

The Pope scolded. He shouted at her without turning back. His voice was deep and sounded inhumane which was unfit for a person with a sacred occupation like him.

"Hii!!!"

The priestess, Valliere, shrieked in fear. She quickly knelt down to apologize.

"I don't need your apology. Tell me, what kind of ridiculous reason will you present me for disturbing our prayer?"

The Pope asked.

"M-my a-p-apologies, your Holiness. Just now, I got an urgent news from Sister Alberta who is currently in charge of monitoring the sacred orb of divination. She just received a revelation that one of the demon Lords had been slain."

Valliere said.

"You, Isn't that a great news, for one of the greatest filth encroaching our world had finally perished? Why must you panicking like this?"

The pope 's mood rose hearing the news.

"So, which demon Lord is slain and which hero did it?"

He asked.

"That is..."

Valliere hesitated. She knew well that she was going to be punished heavily after this.

"Th-the demon Lord Invidia is the slain demon Lord. And as for the slayer...."

Valliere said. She stopped mid sentence from her hesitation and fear of the punishment she was going to receive.

"What's wrong? Is there some problem with the information about the slayer?"

The Pope asked. He began to feel uneasy about it.

"Umm... The slayer is 'that person'."

Valliere saidsaid hesitantly.

"That person? Who is this hero who you called that person?"

Pope asked again.

"Umm... The orb stated that the hero who had slain the demon Lord Invidia is... Hero of Harmony."

Valliere added. The Pope expression turned sour. Some of his vein popped out in irritation and his face was red from anger.

"It's that accursed child again?!!"

He snapped and slammed his cane to the ground, creating a crack throughout the floor. He turned toward Valliere and showed his face. It was the face of the usual pope but there were differences. His eyes were not normal at all. His previously blue eyes now had golden color with cross mark in the middle of his irises. Truth to be told it was not normal and close to being inhumane.

"You have heard her right? That accursed being dared to cross his bounds by killing the prey of our heroes without permission!!! THIS IS HERESY!! THIS IS BLASPHEMY!! And this is a shame for our glorious humanity!!"

The pope declared.

"That's right... We must redeem this shame right away!! We must show our Lord our dedication!! We must make the humans stand on the top!!"

He added. He sounded like a fanatic believer of a certain cult.

"Long Live the Glory Light!!"

Hearing the last yell of the pope, the young priests and nuns opened their eyes and revealed their golden eyes with various shape of symbols. 

"Long Live Our Glory!!"

The priests and nuns except  Valliere said in unison. They were not ordinary priests and nuns. They were the children who had successfully survived the inhumane experiment and received the power of various monsters. They were the children who would then known as 'Children of Glory Light'.

But, nobody inside that room knows. The fact that Ren had received new power, the current situation outside the kingdom, and the existence of a 'certain monkey beastkin' who was spying on them from nearby building.

Hello Hello minna-sama, Boss Blazt-de-aru!!

Sorry for the extremely delayed chapter. Last week I forced myself on doing the assignment and due to the lack of sleep, I committed a major blunder. By accident I spilled my coffee on my PC and It took me several days to fix it. Luckily fatal damage on the motherboard or the hardisk but the keyboard was deemed unusable. You can say my keyboard ended up like Shintarou's PC in Mekakucity Actor. My wallet received a heavy damage and my time got wasted for waiting the repairman. It was hell. I started having hallucination of my superior had started looked like having a hanya mask or noh mask floating behind her when she smile while asking on the progress. For heaven sake, It was suuuper scary especially when she told me to continue my work with the smile on her face without trace of that smile in her eyes. Is this a black company? Ah, it was a hospital not a company. Ah, I got distracted. And...

Ah, by the way, since the time will be scarce to write a chapter till next several days, I'm thinking of having several events first. The first event is...

This!!

Ah, by the way, I got a new assistant for editing the chapter ideas. He's bit annoying, lazy, and rather unreliable on the grammar aspect but more or less he's helpful for now. Well, let's hope that his existence will help me writing new chapters, yes.

Well... the next agenda will be... Ah, that was the last one.
