Ayanokouji Kiyotaka 155

Title: The Tragic End of the Sin Archbishop of Greed

Regulus’s target wasn’t Reinhard, but the building wall beside him.

The large wall crumbled due to the pebble. With the blessing of his power, this pebble was far stronger than magic.

Of course, even the brainless Regulus knew this method would never kill Reinhard, or even injure him. However, all he did was delay the other party.

As he launched the attack, Regulus immediately left the place.

The entire wall turned into rubble and hit Reinhard’s forehead directly. Sure enough, he wasn’t hurt. But as he was about to chase Regulus, because the building had just been severely damaged, it started to sway, as if it was about to collapse at any moment.

Reinhard knew that there were still hostages in the city hall who were being held by Capella and hadn’t been evacuated. If he chased now, it would endanger these citizens, so he didn’t choose to chase, but chose to protect the citizens from danger.

“Wives?” While protecting the people and heading towards the shelter, Reinhard turned his gaze to the distance.

The camera changed, and in the tall tower next to the church, a hot and violent blaze almost enveloped the entire place, and people throughout the city could see the dazzling fire here.

The violent fire mercilessly swallowed the entire building and burned it down. Flames appeared everywhere inside the house endlessly. The fire was unable to stop the fire from top to bottom. Everything turned into ashes with ferocious smoke in the air. There was an explosion, as if it was mourning someone’s death.

The large house engulfed in flames was not just the property, furniture, and decorations that were charred and blackened. In this house, the bodies of women who had endured long-term pain were also trapped in the fire, turning into gray carbon with no trace of whether they were originally human.

But before the high temperature enveloped their bodies, they died painlessly.

This was a very sad sight, and it’s an understatement to say it was evil, but this is what these women wanted.

Under Ayanokouji’s persuasion, the women who were considered wives by Regulus chose to die. Before the fire broke out, he had ordered Elsa to take their lives painlessly.

Although these women had the desire to accept death, Ayanokouji believed that painless death could reduce the possibility of them regretting it in the end.

From an objective point of view, this was the last mercy given to these wives.

“Are you kidding me! What happened? Who did it? Why?!”

The momentum of the fire increased due to the wind, and Regulus’s curses spread throughout the tower. In the almost burned-down building, his voice was completely hoarse.

He couldn’t believe what he saw, and he went crazy because of what was happening in front of him.

Why was there a fire and why did all his wives die?

Regulus didn’t know what this was, but he didn’t want to think about the reason at all, and could only immerse himself in the tragic situation in front of him.

“No. 92! No. 114! No. 123 too! Where!? Where are you!? Who do you think I am!? You actually left me and committed suicide in this situation? If you want to die, how irresponsible you women are!?”

Regulus was like a child throwing a tantrum, with his facial features twitching and shouting randomly.

Compared to sadness, his heart was more angry, not because his lovers died, but more like a child whose possessions were destroyed.

And Regulus’s attention was focused on his deceased wives, and he didn’t realize that the house was almost completely blocked, nailed from the inside, and all the windows were tightly closed, and it looked pitch black because the curtains were tightly closed.

He didn’t even realize that when he returned here, the door behind him was slammed shut.

Normal people would try their best to escape from the fire, but Regulus was not like this at all, he didn’t consider his own death at all, and acted with a kind of ethics that transcended life and death.

He believed that this level of fire could not kill him.

More than fifty of his wives died in the blaze. This was something that couldn’t be changed. Regulus had already started making plans in his heart to find new wives.

“No matter who it is, they underestimated my valuable assets. I must find the people who killed my beloved wives. I must make him pay the price for his infringement of my rights!” Regulus’s roar could still be heard in the ruins.

“I hope you can shut that unpleasant-sounding mouth!” A woman’s voice, very unfamiliar to Regulus, came from the side.

“Huh...”

Before Regulus finished his words, he was kicked directly by the sole of a boot that pierced through the wall of fire.

This kick came from an unexpected direction, and the unexpected attack overwhelmed him and kicked him directly to the other side of the corridor, which had become too fragile due to the heat.

And Regulus fell and lay on his back on the ground, staring stupidly at the burning ceiling, which seemed about to collapse at any moment and fall on him.

“W-What... what happened?” Regulus didn’t understand what was happening at all.

“This fire is a signature divorce letter given to you by your many wives. Simply put, the love bound by fear has ended.”

The person who answered the stunned man’s question had the same voice as when he kicked him earlier.

Regulus immediately stood up and crossed the broken wall, just in time to see a woman in dark clothes enter.

The charming smile on her face and her long black braids were her hallmarks, but what best described her identity was the sword in her right hand – Bowel Hunter Elsa.

“Thief! Who do you think I am!? After the stupid things I did for you...”

As soon as the word “regret” was uttered, Regulus raised his hand and attacked Elsa.

But his attack had no effect. He seemed to suddenly lose control of his arm. Immediately afterwards, there was a heart-wrenching pain – this was a feeling he hadn’t experienced in over a hundred years.

Regulus moved his eyes down and saw that his arm was gone, and his arm had fallen to the ground like garbage.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!” The intense pain caused him to scream heart-wrenchingly. His original hoarse voice became sharp at this moment.

He couldn’t believe that his almost invincible body had its arm cut off at this moment.

Now, because of the death of his wives, he has lost his power.

“Immortal? Invincible? Although I’ve heard that it’s a very powerful ability, but as long as someone knows the principle, it’s not a problem at all. You are just a pesky insect now.” Elsa licked her lips at her sword, and there was a meaningful smile on her face.

This sharp sword was what just cut off Regulus’s arm, and its action was so fast that the opponent couldn’t see it clearly.

“Ahhhh! You slut...”

Regulus, whose dignity was pierced, forgot about his missing arm and cursed Elsa with dirty words. However, Elsa always had a calm smile on her face.

“...You dirty, shameless, and despicable man, why did you do this!!”

Finally, after pain once again overwhelmed his emotions, Regulus’s body began to convulse in pain, his legs kept rubbing against the ground, trying to get as far away as possible from the woman in front of him, and his voice became weak. Once again, It could only be turned into a final question: “Who are you and why did you do this!”

“Why should I do this?” Elsa pretended to be a little girl, stretched out her fingers and gently placed her blood-red lips, “It’s because of Master’s orders.”

“Master? Who is that?” Regulus put a surprised expression on his face, not knowing what the situation was now.

“It’s me.”

A indifferent and very familiar voice sounded from behind, and then footsteps stepped on the floor, causing a creaking groan.

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.

“Why are you here... No, did you plan this!?” Even the foolish Regulus understood what was happening.

“That’s right.” Ayanokouji simply replied calmly, without any expression on his face.

Regulus’s eyes focused on his face. Although it was exactly the same as when he first saw him, he felt that the man in front of him was very strange.

“Why did you do this? How could you tolerate such stupid things... I am the most perfect existence in this world. I don’t ask for too much, I am satisfied with what I have and live without desire. I am actually being persecuted by defective humans like you...!”

Regulus stared directly and cursed.

“You bastard who deserves to be killed by a thousand swords! Do you know what you have done!? My beloved wives, my wives! They were burned along with the house in front of me! Do you know how serious this behavior is? Inhuman, how evil!? You bastard wife killer!”

“I can’t deny the facts you said. From your subjective point of view, there is no doubt that I am a devil, and I don’t consider myself a good person.” Ayanokouji always said expressionlessly, “But that’s how your wives made the request, and I just incited them a little.”

He was not wrong, he just completely released the inner emotions of Regulus’s wives.

“Who believes you... I love my wives! So, they should love me too! Right!? Otherwise, it will be wrong! But! Why should I experience this because of those unworthy people?” Regulus said hysterically.

“I really don’t know myself. A character like that is not liked by women at all. For someone like you, no one should love you!” Elsa shook her head.

But Ayanokouji didn’t say anything, he just looked at the man in front of him.

The real reason for his failure was that Regulus ignored the feelings of others from beginning to end.

Emotions are indeed a strange existence. They can make people lose their rationality and also give them strength. Although Ayanokouji hasn’t fully understood its mystery, the influence of the term emotion on people, he has seen it.

“If you ignore the feelings of others, you will end up with a bad end.” Ayanokouji said.

Behind him, Elsa showed a happy smile on her face.

“Besides, as a last request from the deceased, you have to listen to their names one by one, the names of each person who was persecuted by you and finally killed you.” Ayanokouji’s words were like a judgment.

“Why should I listen to those despicable names, do you think-“ Just as Regulus was about to continue cursing Ayanokouji, Elsa took the lead to move.

She raised her leg and kicked upwards, hitting the man sitting on the ground between her two legs, hitting Regulus’s small position, and Regulus’s body suffered the most severe pain in the world.

“It’s like this. It’s amazing what you want to say, but I won’t let you interrupt Master’s speech.” Elsa said with a smile.

Ayanokouji then proceeded to mention more than fifty lives that were replaced by numbers.

“They willingly sacrificed their own lives to kill you.” He made a final statement, “I am not qualified to judge the right or wrong of something, but please make sure to remember these names, and then die.”

“Arrogance...” His pain hadn’t gone away, Regulus’s voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.
