The sacred right side of a certain manga Chapter 102

“Ha, I finally made it in time. The disaster hasn’t spread.”

Roy wasn’t some warm-hearted, good Samaritan who would exhaust himself to save a city. He simply knew of Lady Aisha’s authority and its potential consequences from the Council of Sages and ‘Clairvoyance’. To avoid getting embroiled in too much trouble, he had no choice but to personally intervene and quell the turmoil.

He used his authority, Sight of God’s Face, to take over Lady Aisha’s Queen’s Curse, thereby transforming the fervent citizens who had fallen under Lady Aisha’s authority into his own believers.

This ability to forcibly distort others’ beliefs was originally a function of Sight of God’s Face. However, this move was useless against Campiones and Heretic Gods, and Roy didn’t need ordinary people to fanatically believe in him, so he had never used it in the past.

But at this moment, this ability played a huge role. Compared to the randomness of Lady Aisha’s authority, Roy had complete control over his own authority, thus resolving the crisis.

‘This is just going from one crisis to another, isn’t it?’

The local Athenian magician watched this scene with a chill, feeling nothing but horror. Campiones were indeed a group of demon kings, wantonly twisting human will like this, and looking at King Roy’s attitude, he seemed completely nonchalant.

As a magician, he could tell that this authority was not only effective against ordinary people, but also powerfully effective against magicians like himself. Thinking of himself inexplicably losing his human will and becoming a pure, fanatical believer, the Grand Master of Athens’ magical society felt utterly terrified. Campiones were indeed not beings that mortals could contend with. Just a word, just seeing his face, could make people lose everything.

“My followers, return to your homes. There, pray to the Lord we believe in! God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, He gave Me to you, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life!”

Roy shamelessly compared himself to the savior Messiah, and those who had fallen under his authority truly regarded him as the Son of God, the Christ who had descended.

The crowds on the street once again knelt on the ground, cheering from the bottom of their hearts. Then, with fervent but obedient expressions, they bowed to Roy step by step, leaving the street and heading towards their homes.

In the blink of an eye, the entire street was empty.

“Money!”

Roy stretched out his left hand and spoke one word. Just as the Athenian magician was bewildered, Erica gave a cunning smile and quickly pulled out a five-hundred-euro note from her wallet, placing it in Roy’s hand.

Roy was very pleased. After more than a year of being together, he and Erica had become increasingly默契. This girl was extremely intelligent and could be considered Roy’s best helper.

After receiving the large denomination euro note, Roy slowly walked to the stall where Lady Aisha had eaten for free. The shop owner had also fallen under his authority and gone home. He placed the five hundred euros in the owner’s cash box and said to Lady Aisha, “…Eating for free is not a good behavior, Madam!”

Lady Aisha’s face flushed. Although she hadn’t intentionally eaten for free—it was force majeure—from the result, she indeed had the suspicion of eating for free.

“Thank you so much for helping me out, sir!”

Lady Aisha said gratefully, unsure if she was thanking Roy for releasing her from the authority, or for paying her bill, or both.

Only then did Roy carefully examine this mysterious queen. Although Lady Aisha was called ‘Madam’, she had never been married; ‘Madam’ was merely a respectful address from the world. She was a typical Indian woman, with brown skin and a very slender, lean figure. However, the prominent swell of her chest left Roy no doubt that she, like Erica, could completely envelop a certain part of him with that voluptuousness.

Her facial features were distinct and well-defined. At first glance, she wasn’t stunning, but she was extremely captivating, the kind that became more beautiful the more you looked at her. Like Indian women, she possessed her own unique charm.

What was particularly striking was that although Lady Aisha appeared to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, she exuded a kind and compassionate aura, easily bringing to mind the ‘Holy Mother’. Even though she had been a Campione for over one hundred and fifty years, and her age should be considerable, she still possessed a maiden’s innocence and charm. She was a woman who seemed to live in happiness, forever free from worries.

Lady Aisha looked somewhat disheveled at the moment, her clothes dirty. The shop owner who had been willing to serve her before was truly kind; she looked almost like a beggar.

An Indian of low caste, without a surname, she was practically a slave in past India. She was gentle and kind, and once worked as a maid for an English noble family. Because she was beloved by this family, they took her from the chaotic India of that time to England. The time of her Campione ascension can only be roughly ascertained, but the specific circumstances are unknown. There are even rumors that she once made the Marquis Voban and Lord Luo Hao look foolish, making her an extremely mysterious Campione.

Roy recalled the contents of the Council of Sages’ report and simultaneously used ‘Clairvoyance’ to trace Lady Aisha’s past. In an instant, he understood most of what there was to know about this mysterious woman.

“Ah ah ah—-God, a God, an Heretic God!”

At this moment, Lady Aisha belatedly discovered Athena. She retreated in panic, even hiding behind the food cart. The expression on her face was neither the impulse of a Campione wanting to kill an Heretic God, nor the fear of an ordinary person seeing an Heretic God. Her face only held panic, a bewildered panic.

“Hmph, that look, treating me like a cockroach, is truly annoying.”

Athena snorted coldly, expressing her displeasure to Lady Aisha.

Indeed, Lady Aisha’s reaction was exactly like a woman suddenly seeing a cockroach.

“This goddess, I don’t want to fight… Please, I really don’t like fighting, and I can’t fight. I only killed gods in the past out of necessity. They kept chasing me to kill me, so I had no choice but to fight back.”

Lady Aisha said with a sorrowful expression.

This was not a lie, but the truth. Although she was a Campione, Lady Aisha was unwilling to fight Heretic Gods. Her becoming a Campione was not by her own will. From Lady Aisha, one could see that so-called Campiones completely relied on luck to kill gods.

“Although your scent makes me nauseous, my freedom is no longer entirely my own. I will not attack you until Roy gives the command.”

Athena merely gave Lady Aisha a disgusted glance, showing no intention of striking.

Roy looked at Athena with some surprise. This proud goddess would actually admit to obeying him in such a setting. That was quite a lot of face she was giving him. Could it be that Athena also deeply understood the secret of a woman giving her man face when out in public?

“Don’t look at me like that. I am a goddess who understands the greater good. Be grateful for this.”

Noticing Roy’s surprised gaze, Athena slightly turned her head and spoke in a proud tone.

Roy didn’t expose her pride, merely smiled and said, “…As Athena said, as long as Lady Aisha, you don’t attack her, she won’t attack you. Of course, if Lady Aisha you truly can’t help but attack, as someone in the same camp as the goddess, I will unfortunately have to kill you here.”

Roy nonchalantly stood by the enemy of Campiones, the Heretic God, issuing a declaration of slaughter against his own kind.

At this, a beautiful and lovely smile unconsciously bloomed on Athena’s face, clearly pleased with Roy’s declaration.

“Eh eh eh? Sir, are you and this… Goddess Athena friends?”

Lady Aisha looked at Roy in surprise. Even though Campiones couldn’t sense another Campione, Lady Aisha had already been able to discern his identity when Roy activated his authority and made his move.

“Lady Aisha, you could describe it that way.”

“Friends! That’s wonderful! So Campiones don’t necessarily have to be enemies with Heretic Gods. I’ve met several Heretic Gods in the past, and each time I enthusiastically tried to befriend them, but these gods would start chasing and killing me as soon as they saw me. It was simply outrageous! In the end, I had no choice but to kill them to save my life.”

Lady Aisha showed a look of relief, as if her wish had finally come true. She looked at Roy, then at Athena, her emerald eyes full of joy.

“Madam, the commotion here has attracted the attention of ordinary people. How about we change locations to talk?”

Seeing Lady Aisha, who was quite old but seemed as easily tricked as a country girl visiting the city, Roy said enticingly.

“Okay! I also have many questions I want to ask you, sir.”

Lady Aisha, completely unaware of city folk’s tricks, nodded vigorously with delight.
