Heloria and Messi came to the backstage of the stage all the way, and the closer they got to the stage, the clearer Helolia could hear the music playing on the stage.
"These voices are..."
The moment Messi heard the accompaniment sounding on the stage, even his walking pace slowed down by several steps.
This female knight didn't have many opportunities to appreciate music in her life. Before the Chaos Demon appeared, music was still a "luxury" that could only be enjoyed by the upper class in this world.
The songs the Messiah heard were also limited to the chants sung in the holy city.
Even the songs that Hololia sang on the stage this time belonged to the same style of "Holy Song", melodious and peaceful.
The other contestants' songs, Misai, didn't pay much attention, but the style of accompaniment that played on the stage at this time, Misai was unheard of.
This is not a symphony in any opera...
"I... heard some instruments I had never seen before, brand new instruments..."
Hololia stopped, instead of going to the rest area of the players behind the stage, she walked in the direction of the accompanying bands.
"My Lady... It's dangerous there."
Messiah wanted to stop Heluria's reckless behavior, and her "third eye" reminded her to never go there.
Although Misa couldn't know what was going on behind the scenes in the theater, she was sure that there was a very terrifying existence.
But when Messiah was about to stop Heluria from running, her "third eye" faintly sensed something again.
Following his perception, Misai looked at the back of the stage, where the contestants gathered. Among the group of contestants, Misai saw a familiar figure.
It was an old man with gray hair but a straight body, Kroger Moral... the commander of the Crusader's Third Legion!
He is also one of the oldest legionnaires in the Crusaders.
For this legion commander, Messiah didn't understand much about him. Heluria's description was "a loyal supporter of the Pope".
"Come with me."
Without waiting for Messi to say hello to the legion commander, she grabbed the corner of Messi's clothes with her hand, forcing the female knight to go to the depths of the stage behind the scenes.
"My Lady, his mission should be to protect your safety like the vultures, but I didn't see the figure of Captain Kroger all day yesterday."
Messi noticed Helolia's abnormality, but under the order of the Holy Maiden, she had to bend down and follow Helolia all the way to the other direction.
"Protection? It should be said to be surveillance. He was sent by the Pope... So you should understand, Knight Messiah."
Hololia lowered her voice, and quickly left the crowd of contestants with Misa, and ran towards the back of the stage where the accompaniment band was.
"But... Lady Saint, if you want to avoid him, you shouldn't..."
Messi wanted to remind Heluria that there was an extremely terrifying... monster at the end of the direction she was running, and this female knight could only use a monster to describe the master of that breath.
She doesn't understand why this kind of existence exists in the human theater, but as long as she remembers that the owner of this theater is a Chaos Demon, then everything can be explained.
"Run, Messi!"
Heluria interrupted Misa's words, took Misa's hand and ran quickly towards the back of the stage.
Captain Kroger, who was looking for something among the contestants in the distance, finally found Hololia and Messiah.
When Messi was dragged into a dark room by Saint Heluria... Messi also noticed that there were other figures following Kroger's side.
The door... was closed, and as Messi adjusted to the dim light of the rooms, he found another theater... near the theater of The Singer of the World.
While her "third eye" reminded her to get out of here as soon as possible, she also felt that there was a powerful magic circle inside the theater.
The role of the magic circle... is probably to shield a terrifying existence inside.
The strange sound of music in the theater echoed in the theater. Messi looked at the center stage of the theater and found that there was a whole orchestra playing on it.
And... the members of the band are all undead.
Some of them are skeletons with only bones left, dressed in straight dresses and with instruments in their hands to join in the performance... Others are ghosts with translucent bodies.
When the contestants of the World Singer sang, their accompaniment was all played by these undead!
Even if... when I was singing, the sweet music was also from the hands of those undead!
Knowing the truth, Misai felt an awkward feeling in her heart, but before this awkward feeling appeared for a long time, she felt that her heart was being held by someone.
"You have a smell I hate..."
A voice quietly rang in Misa's ear. Massey stared at the figure on the stage that was conducting the entire orchestra, and disappeared at some point.
The black mist gathered in front of her, and then turned into an undead with crimson soul fire burning in its eye sockets.
"The smell of that group of believers."
There was a harsh sound from the undead's throat that made people want to cover their ears.
When Misa faced its line of sight, he realized that this undead was very dangerous!
Messiah stood in front of Saint Heluria for the first time, and pulled out a dagger at his waist to prepare for battle.
"You interrupted my performance."
The undead stretched out the fingers that turned into dead bones and gently held it on the dagger in Messiah's hand. The dagger seemed to have lost its life and suddenly began to wither, and finally turned into useless dust and dissipated in the air.
Staring at the undead pupil at the same time, Missai suddenly found that her body could not move at all, fear gathered in her heart, and Missai resisted the inner fear with her own willpower.
But he lost control over his body.
"As punishment, maybe I can make you... strawberry jam?" The undead said a cute-sounding word in a harsh voice.
It's a pity that there was no smile on Misa's face at this time, and her back was completely soaked in cold sweat.
The breath of death enveloped her, and just as Messi was about to mobilize the power of the Holy Light in her body to fight to the death, another familiar voice suddenly sounded behind her.
"Master Bone, stop bullying this poor female knight."
Messi turned his head sideways, looked at the Chaos Demon walking by her side, and patted her shoulder by the way.
At this moment, Missai's heavy body suddenly became lighter, and the fear in her heart disappeared without a trace. Only her soaked underwear could prove that everything just now was not an illusion.
"Two contestants, I'm honored to introduce to you, this is the conductor behind the competition's music accompaniment, part-time soundtrack director... You can call her the skeleton man."
Joshua introduced the Lich Lord beside him, and then looked at the female knight who rushed in here, and the calm-faced Saint Heluria.
"Hello." Heluria calmly bowed to the Lich Lord.
"I should have written on the door that this theater is a forbidden area, Miss Hololia, can you give me a reason to break into this place?" Joshua asked.
"Um..." Helolia thought for a moment and then said frankly, "We encountered a little trouble."
