Chapter 22: Cardinal Heroes vs Three Heroes Church: Part 2

"The Shield Demon, walking straight into the church. That's quite the boldness from you."

"..." Naofumi remained silent as he was walking towards the center of the church, observing his surroundings while remaining calm.

"You have surprised me, who would've thought that you wouldn't walk into our territory in such a manner. Have you come for repentance? To harm? Or do you truly just believe you can enter wherever you like?"

"..." Naofumi continued to stay silent as he observed the movements of the Priest, having a feeling that something's off with him.

"I suppose that you feel superior enough that you don't need to answer such simple questions. That's fine. Silence can be an answer as well." He turns towards some of his followers and gives a nod before turning back towards the Shield Hero. "With God on our side, we will stop you before you harm anyone else."

Naofumi notices a few civilians approaching him in an attempt to attack him on his back side while he's facing the Priest. Right before they attempted to, Naofumi in a cold tone said:

"If any of you choose to attack, you will die."

With a simple turn towards those that had the idea to attack him, he gave them a dangerous glare that gave them a warning if they wanted to still breath. As they step back, Naofumi turns towards the Priest once again though was caught off guard when a sudden light was heading right towards him.

"Shield Prison!"

As he shouted this, a barrier surrounded him to protect him from the light heading right towards him. As the light touched his barrier, it immediately started to cause the barrier to crack very fast, causing him to slightly panic.

'What is this attack?'

He was sure that if he stayed standing where he is any longer, he would most likely get killed...however, if he moves out of the way, then those behind him would not only get caught by this sudden attack but obliterated.

This annoyed him since he isn't obligated to save any of them, considering that they are here to kill him, though something in him is not just letting him allow them get wiped out by whatever the Priest had done.

He turned around for a moment to see what he could do in order to prevent anyone from being killed, with his thoughts being on using an air strike shield in order to buy himself some time to get people out of the way...though that plan falls apart when he realizes they are most likely not going to listen.

'Damn it all.'

Right before it seemed like the barrier from his shield prison was about to break, his mind drifted towards a thought on Garfiel's shield. When he had absorbed the piece of the shield into his legendary weapon, it gave him a boost in physical attack.

This had allowed him to at least be able to take down some lowest level monsters with a few punches now rather than how long it took back in his first few days in this world.

What made his mind go towards thinking of Garfiel's shield now is that he remembered the shield had some sub-sections of abilities aside from increasing his offensive and defensive stats.

Knowing that he has little time to act, he made the bold choice to change into the twin shield right as the light breaks through the shield prison. With the entire thing collapsing, Naofumi takes a gamble and uses the twin shield to block away the light.

This was indeed something that would've nearly overpower him only for a new ability to be unlocked.

'Hm?'
