The Sand whale was approaching the city as Ben turned into Atomix,he said an strange incantation that made two giant orbs of green energy flew to the Sand Whale,even if it was the move used to finish Albedo,it didn't do too much damage to the Whale,but soon 10 direct hits of magic appeared out of nowhere and killed the whale.

"Who did that?"thought Ben as he looked in the sky to see who could had have used it "Was it Gandalf from Hobbit?" asked Ben himself

Shera:"Ben you did it!"

Lumachina"Thank you Kami-sama!"

Rem:"Ben you're really...Tremendous!"

"Who used that magic!?"said a voice,the voice belonging to Baduta,leader of the Zirconia Tower's Holy was a bit confused about who this man really was.

Ben:"Who're you?"

Knight:"How rude!He's Baduta the leader of this town's Holy Knight CORPS!"

Then Baduta approached Lumachina,remembering her as the High Priestess of the then saluted her how it was needed.

Baduta:"You're...You're the high priestess Lumachina right?"

Lumachina:"Yes."

Baduta:"I only meet you when you was little,and you soldier!You know who do you insulted and almost hit!?"

"So..Sorry Baduta-san!I didn't realized!"said the knight as he started to bow a million of times in Lumachina's front in fear of his chief.

"What's all the ruckus Baduta?"Said a female voice who belonged to a woman around 20-years old who wore revealing clothes,with pieces of armor over her clothes and a weapon in her right then approached the group looking more at Ben and Lumachina than everyone else.

Baduta:"You...Laminitus!"

Laminitus:"So who is this!?"

Baduta:"How rude!She's the high priest Lumachina-sama!"

Laminitus:"Hah!As I do even care!The church always wants an very big amount of Money!Why should I care?I'm not even fearing God or The King!"

Lumachina:"How could you talk like that about the king!?

Lumachina:"I just came here because I saw that unknown magic,and I just assumed that it could be the rumored "Changeling of Faltra City"!"

"DAMN!Does she know that I'm that rumored changeling!?" Ben thought an then managed to say "And what'll you do when you find that mage...?"

Laminitus:"Simple!I'll just make him my subordinate or even my slave!"

Baduta:"Leave in this instant,Laminitus!"

Laminitus:"Just to know Baduta,I leave because I want to,not because you told me to!Don't forget that I'm the feudal lord of Zirconia Tower..."

Laminitus then walked away as Baduta asked:"I think you should go to the church,and see for yourself what is happening there!"

"I agree!"said Lumachina as Ben and the others walked in an carriage,as the road was very harsh,Ben and Rem started having motion sickness.

"Bluh!"said both Ben and Rem

Shera:"Do you two have motion sickness?"

"Ughh...Shut up Shera!"said the two as they were getting mad at Shera,just that they arrived around the church.

"Why are that many people in line for the church?"asked Lumachina as she observed that at all the churches there we're hundreds of people waiting to pray in shocked Lumachina a bit.

"They're now around 7.000 people,usually in the line are around 1.000 people."

"Even 1.000 people is too much,but 7.000..."

"Yes,it's a bit too much..."

"Anyways,We're here,want some food?"asked Baduta as he walked with Ben and the others in the diner room,as Ben and others put themselves at the table.

Lumachina"Sure...if it's not to big the derange!"

Baduta:"It's no derange Lumachina-sama!"

Then Baduta gave Ben and co. some curry,that everyone found to be delicious,mostly Shera and Ben.

Shera:"Umm...IT'S SO GOOD!"

Ben:"Yes!"

"Umm!?Guys...YOU ATE TOO MUCH!"said Rem as 12 empty bowls of curry appeared on the table,as Ben and Shera eat 6 curry bowls each.

Ben and Shera:"Ughh...my stomach hurts!"

Rem:"As normally would happen if you eat 6 bowls of curry!"

THAT NIGHT...

"Lumachina-sama!I have something to talk with you!"said Baduta knocked at the door where Rem and Lumachina we're staying,which made Rem to take safety measures before letting the knight in

"Baduta...I summon Shadow Snake!Just to be sure..."thought Rem to herself as Lumachina opened the door to the Holy Knight Corps's Hea Baduta

Baduta:"Sorry for calling you at such a time...But I was just a bit curious what are you doing here in Zirconia Tower all the way from the Capital...?And I think a outsider should not hear our discussion..."

He then looked at Rem then at Lumachina.

Lumachina:"Rem is trustworthy just as the rest of Ben's group is."

Baduta:"Very well then..."

Rem:"Well...It looks like one of the church's subalterns send a Holy Knight to kill me.."

"Impossible!HOW MUCH INSOLENCE DO THEY HAVE!?"said he angered,as he continued "I heard that some people say that the Capital's Church is haunted by evil spirits and should be purified...I also heard rumors of Holy Knights kill people to "Purificate"...WHAT NONSENSE TO THE ADDRESS OF US THE HOLY KNIGHTS!"

"But Saddler almost killed me...But I'd better not interfere..."thought Rem to herself,feeling a bit uncomfortable while she thought about what happened back 1 month ago...

Lumachina"Baduta-san,did you heard of the Marked Death Disease?"

Baduta:"Yes...I did indeed heard about that."

Lumachina:"Well I think it could be a curse not a disease..."

"A CURSE!?BUT WHO WILL DO THAT?"said Baduta angered,as Rem called out the Shadow Snake out of its hiding,tying Baduta.

Lumachina:"Rem..What're you doing!?"

Rem:"Lumachina,this man is the one who cursed the people!"

Baduta:"NO...NONSENSE!Do you really listen to some person's presumptions!?"

Rem:"Then why did you referred to "Who"?You won't had how to know if a person did it!"

Baduta:"BECAUSE...Sure a people did it!As Animals or objects do that!"

Rem:"But you are the only one who has immediate access is you Baduta!"

Lumachina:"Rem,Free Baduta-san!"

Rem:"Fine..."

"Hah!FOOLS!"Said Baduta as suddenly Lumachina fell on the ground, Rem's shock.

Rem:"WHAT!?LU...LUMACHINA!WHAT DID YOU DO!?"

Baduta:"It's just a sleep magic...and now sleep,Panther Girl!"

"Ben...save...us...ughh..."said Rem as she fell asleep.

In Ben's and Shera's room...

Shera:"Ben...are you all right?"

Ben:"Uhuh!"

Shera:"Huh...You scared me a little!"

"I got her here Danna!"said Horn as he jumped through the ceiling right in the room where Shera and Ben we're resting Ben's and Shera's shock.

Ben:"HOW DID YOU GOT HERE,HORN!?"

"Through the conducts~Ssu!"explained Horn the situation to the two.

Shera:"Uhuh...So what's up Horn?"

Horn:"I saw Baduta putting your two friends in an carriage~Danna!"

"WHAT!?Where did they were heading!?"said Ben as he grabbed Horn's shoulders,making him to blush.

Horn:"Umm...I think in the west~Ssu!"

Shera:"Then Let's go!"

Knight:"You don't go anywhere,Tennyson!"

"DIAMONDHEAD!"said Ben as in an green flash he transformed into an human made entirely out of crystals,the humanoid was Diamondhead who used his diamonds to create multiple attacks,defeating most of the knights.

"AAAGYAAAH!"

"Where is Baduta taking Rem and Lumachina!?TELL ME...OR I IT'S YOUR FAULT IF YOU ANGER ME...YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW..."said Ben as he turned into Ghostfreak,revealing its creepy tentacles to him,making the knight talk immediately to the trio.

"They're at the underground facility of his!In the west...just around the center of Zirconia Tower!"explained the knight as Ben turned into XLR8 and took Shera and Horn with him at fast speed.

In Baduta's Underground Facility...

"Huh!?What was I doing...Oh right...Baduta put me on sleep..."said Rem to herself"Where we are?"

Lumachina."I woke up now as well..."

"WHAT!?"Said Rem shocked to see that below the pedestal they were there were naked people killing each other,eating like crazy...

Lumachina:"What is all this...?"

Rem:"Umm...I'd better not say...But why did Baduta get us here...If he wanted to sacrifice us,he should had killed us there not here..."

"A good question,Rem..."said Baduta,as he appeared followed by one of his followers.

Rem:"BADUTA!WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO WITH US!?"

"I?What would I want...?Simple,to torment you two!"

Lumachina"WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS!?"

"Hahahahah!Do you thought of some tear-filled or pain-filled backstory!?You two are fools,why do I do people do this?Or why did I kidnapped you?Well...for this black liquid made of people's sins,that why people down there do...Murder,Gluttony,Adultery."

Lumachina:You...make people do sins...!?"

"Lumachina!Come to your senses!"said Rem managing to calm Lumachina down.

Lumachina:"Thank you Rem...But why would you do such things Baduta!?"

"Because,if I curse them with the marked disease,they'll pay the church for being cured!And I get millions from that!"explained Baduta with an evil grin as he walked away laughing maniacally.

Lumachina:"How can you...!?"

"Subordinate,torture them and start with Lumachina-sama."said Baduta as his Subordinate started touching Lumachina an hurting her,making Lumachina scream in horror.

Lumachina:"KY...KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

*CRASH!*It was heard when Ben turned into Diamondhead appeared followed by Shera and Horn who we're ready to save their friends.

Baduta:"WHAT!?"

"Sorry to break your sinful party Baduta...but you did wrong trying to kidnap a superhero's friends!"said Diamondhead as he smirked preparing to fight Baduta.

Rem:"B...BEN!"

"Horn,you and Shera stay back!I'll fight this guy!"said Diamondhead as he approached Baduta,as Diamondhead tried to hit him,just that Baduto to hit him mortally.

Baduta:"You fool...LEVEL 150 ARTS!LANCE DESTROYER!"

"GA...GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!"said Diamondhead in pain as blood sprayed out of his arm.

Rem:"BEN!"

"Ughhh...How did you!?Diamond head is indestructible!"said Diamondhead shocked as he put the lance out of his arm "Damn that hurts!"said Ben as Baduta attacked him again as now he hit him right in the chest,seemingly killing him instantly.

Baduta:"NOT TO THIS LEVEL 200 ARTS!KILLER INSTANT!"

Diamondhead:"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

Rem:"BEN!BEN ARE YOU ALL RIGHT!?"

Diamondhead:"You are a fool Baduta!You think you can kill me from that!?"

Baduta:"WHAT!?"

"DIAMOND ATTACK!LET'S SAY IT IS A LEVEL 250 ART!"said Diamondhead as he hit Baduta so hard,that made him get hit into a wall,thus defeating him.

Baduta:"GAAAAAH!"

Ben:"AND STAY OUT!"

Down,Horn finally managed to get to where Rem and Lumachina were freeing them.

Horn:"I CAME TO SAVE YOU~DANNA!"

Rem:"Horn!?"

Horn:"Let me free you~DANNA!"

Subordinate:"You little brat-GYAAAAAAAHHHH!"

As the subordinate tried to stab horn,Shera attacked her with A Arrow,suddenly turning her into Stone.

Ben:"Good Job Shera!"

Shera:"This was Heaven's Shot!"

"I don't believe I was saved by Shera of all people..."said Rem a bit surprised about how the events turned out.

Horn:"And I did it~Ssu!"

Ben:"Good Job Horn!"

"B...BEN!Ben...!"said Rem with tears in her eyes as she hug Ben,to his surprise.

Ben:"C'mon...Let's go!"

Horn:"Umm...But the entrance is locked Danna~Ssu!"

"Then let's go!Shockrock!Move:Black Wormhole!Everyone through the wormhole!"said Ben as in an green flash turned into Shockrock.

Rem:"But didn't it send you in free fall!?"

"Well...We don't have any other option!"said Shockrock as he created an black wormhole out of its hands

"Then all Danna or nothing~Ssu!"

"A...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!?"

"Owch...I must say...it was really a bad idea."

"Well...I always have bad ideas."said Shockrock as he and the girls and Horun walked through the forest to see if they can get to the docks,just that Lumachina to faint,X-marks appearing on her body.

Shera:"Umm...Ben!Lumachina is-!"

Clockwork:"This curse starts in 2 hours right?Then Clockwork shall work."

"Ah!The alien you used to save Rem?"asked Shera,as Clockwork made an green symbol over her body,as suddenly the X-marks disappeared,to everyone's surprise,but Shera,who had seen this alien in action that they got to the docks just to see that Laminitus awaited them with 5 warships.

Laminitus:"Hello,Demon Lord."

Ben:"Demon Lord!?Now that's nonsense."

Laminitus:"It is...?I see you are transformed into a creature,and some people even say that you did that in the fight with The Sand Whale as well...So just respond you a demon lord or not?"

Ben:"I'm a hero from another world,and this is the last time I say this."

Laminitus:"I don't believe your words,but as I heard you saved the city of Faltra and this town as well,I'll let it go past ...That demonic being was talking about another demon lord's awakening..."

'This demon lord that eh demonic being told her about...It is about Krum or Dagon?Anyways,I'd better shut up."thought Ben as Laminitus and her warships that,Ben used Clockwork on every citizen of Zirconia tower who had the X-marked disease,saving the whole village,and then used Water Hazard to purify the cursed that,they managed to resolve the problem with the church and got ready to leave.

Horrn:"Bye guys!"

ben:"Bye Kiddo,and know,you're gonna be a great adventurer sometime...You remember me of how I was when I was about your we will meet again,little girl."

Horn:"Huh!?How did you knew I was a girl!?I told you I was a boy!"

Ben:"My Ben-tuition."

Horn:"Wait what is that even mean!?Ben-san!"

SORRY AGAIN FOR THE LATE UPDATE!BUT I WAS BUSY WORKING ON LEGENDARY FAIRY AND YUUNA AND THE HAUNTED HOT SPRINGS AND A ULTIMATE HERO,BUT NEXT TIME!THE DEMON LORD LAMINITUS WAS TALKING ABOUT AWAKENS AND TAKES OVER REM'S BODY!
