Dagruel’s army had reached the Holy Kingdom Ruberios and kept on their march through its border.
And they mowed down all of the people who blocked their path and aimed at the Holy Capital with great vigor.
The Holy Capital was protected by a threefold barrier.
The large-scale magic essence warding barrier blockaded the city’s outskirts.
It was a barrier which obstructed the accumulation of magic essence to prevent outbreaks of monsters. However, it is naturally not invincible, just like in the present situation, there may be an outbreak of rare monsters due to the barrier’s destruction that might come to invade the city.
To prevent this invasion, an anti-monster defence barrier had been installed, which protected the daily lives of the holy capital and its surroundings.
As its name suggests, it was intended to prevent the invasion of monsters.
It was a barrier with a strong magic essence isolation ability, but it only had influence on a certain level of monster and weaker. It didn’t affect vampires, its true masters.
Its purpose was to protect the citizens of the Holy Capital from field monsters.
The Holy Knights usually patrolled between the first and the second barriers. And their work included searching for tears in the barrier and restoring them.
It was common knowledge that the Holy Kingdom Ruberios was protected by a twofold barrier, but the existence of the third one was only known by the high ranking people of the holy capital.
The Evil Purification Barrier.
It was the protection barrier of the highest level that had protected the sacred Holy Capital for a long time.
It was a barrier that could be called the perfected version of the holy field, the barrier which attacks monsters with the only exception of those registered with an identification code.
Everything inside the ramparts of the Holy Capital was within the scope of its influence. It was the largest-scale barrier of its level, but it still couldn’t cover the entire range.
Even so, it was the strongest barrier, worthy to protect the Holy Capital.
The transfer gate was established within the anti-monster invasion prevention barrier and outside the Evil Purification Barrier. The reason was because Ruminas didn’t want the subordinates of the other Demon Lords acting freely within the Holy Capital.
That was a reasonable argument, because not only it was troublesome to set and register identification codes for individuals, there was no guarantee that they wouldn’t be hostile by next time.
Therefore, the Evil Purification Barrier was applied to every monster with the only exception being Ruminas’ subordinates.
The effect was applied even to the high ranking monsters in Shion’s entourage.
Thus, Shion’s elite corps who arrived from the transfer gate organized themselves at the peripheral of the living area without entering the Holy Capital.
The battlefield was outside the anti-monster invasion prevention barrier.
It was the decision of the conference the night before.
The barrier was ineffective against the angel army ―― or rather, the anti-monster has no meaning against the holy attributed angels ――the monster army led by Shion and Co. were suitable to oppose Dagruel.
