381. embarrassed (2)

Oliver looked.

A poor family hiding in the basement of an abandoned building.

They were all scruffy and wearing ill-fitting clothes..

Wearing loose shoes that are too big for your feet, cloak-like clothing, or a large hat that covers your eyes..

In particular, the children were the worst, and the smallest one felt extreme fear towards Oliver and desperately held back his tears..

So desperate that my face turns red..

The other children, who appeared to be older brothers and sisters, covered their own mouths and held back their tears, but when they made eye contact with Oliver, they began to cry one by one in great despair, as if it was all over..

“Ugh... Ahhhhh······!”

“Hehehehe...Mom...Mom.”

“Be quiet······. Everyone is quiet!”

An old woman and an old man, who appeared to be the children's parents, shouted lowly to silence the children..

They too were scared as if they were going to cry at any moment, but they felt a sense of responsibility as parents and used themselves as shields to protect their children..

That feeling is quite... It was pretty. It was so pretty.

“hmm······.”

Oliver suddenly became calm as if he had been doused in cold water, and looked around..

I soon realized why they were afraid..

Because of you. Because of Oliver himself..

Oliver moved his head from his position of crushing one of Bonifa's eyes like a grape to look for signs of his mild, unusual anger..

The ceiling was full of holes and Bonifa's entire body was already broken and crushed and she had lost her will to fight..

Even though it was already over, it was a fight that was over long ago..

Nevertheless, Oliver did not stop and even tried to crush Bonifa's eyes, which left him unable to fight..

Even if it was too much, it was too much..

What on earth can you gain by hurting me more than this?······.

Realizing that fact, Oliver desperately held back his tears and looked again at the couple protecting the children..

They tried to protect their children against intense fear amidst ruined homes and disorganized household belongings..

I was so embarrassed and ashamed..

Just as he couldn't explain the anger he felt earlier, he couldn't explain in detail why he was embarrassed and ashamed, but Oliver felt embarrassed and ashamed..

So difficult to even raise my head.

It was so embarrassing that Oliver just wanted to get out of here as quickly as possible..

The director of Ark Orphanage was right..

They say people instinctively want to distance themselves from their sins, and now Oliver realizes what that means..

Oliver let go of Bonifa, who looked at the tip of his thumb in horror and despair.

He was completely exhausted and relaxed at the fact that he had escaped the worst, so he lost consciousness and fell to the floor. Oliver tried to escape from the basement of the abandoned building while holding on to one of his legs..

I wanted to get out of here as quickly as possible..

Trudging. Trudging. Trudging. pop.

Olaver paused in front of the basement stairs..

Poor families flinch at the sight..

Oliver turned his head towards them and slowly opened his mouth despite feeling rejected..

“Excuse me... I'm really sorry.”

Oliver apologized softly, then walked back up the stairs and disappeared out of the building..

***

Step by step. Step by step. Step by step. quality. quality. quality.

Oliver came out of the abandoned building and walked forward, dragging the legs of the unconscious Bonifa..

As Oliver walked, he used his warlock's vision to read the emotions of those around him..

Although this was an underdeveloped area in Weinham, it was not completely empty of people..

There were quite a number of people, including poor people and beggars, who had no choice but to live here..

They had clearly watched the fight between Oliver and the Paladins with half-fear and half-curiosity until the beginning and middle of the battle, but now they were all trembling with fear and hoping that this situation would pass..

Oliver understood their feelings..

Because he saw the traces of his violence and remembered what he had done..

It was too much.

When Bonifa was blown up, the fight was virtually over..

Bonifa was unable to fight, and the paladins and servants had no intention of fighting anymore..

At least even if Oliver had opened the portal and escaped, it wouldn't have been stopped..

Well, at least this situation would have been over with that..

But Oliver didn't.

Impromptu, light-hearted, and swayed by odd emotions, they missed the right time to stop and caused unnecessary destruction and suffering..

It was truly ugly. Indeed.

“sorry.”

Oliver appeared, dragging Bonifa behind him, and said as he placed Bonifa in front of Galahaut..

For your information, Bonifa's appearance was not a horse..

The iron coat exclusively for the Paladins was in tatters as if it had been torn to pieces by an animal, and one side of the face was swollen greatly and all of the skin had peeled off, making it difficult to even describe it as good..

But fortunately and sadly, the wound on one side of his face didn't look that bad in comparison, as he had a broken jaw, broken nose, crushed shoulders, and a body covered in purple and red bruises..

A rag with the same body and clothes······.

The sight of Bonifa, covered in black dust as he was dragged across the floor in that state, was reminiscent of a crow..

An ugly crow that flew high but fell to the ground and died..

Oliver said when he saw Bonifa like that..

“I am······. I think it was a little harsh.”

“······.”

Galahaut, who was officially in command of the operation, said nothing..

There were many reasons for this.

The first was because I was afraid.

Since he was the one who overpowered them with nothing but his spirit and made Bonifa, who had fully awakened as the son of an angel, become worse than death, he couldn't provoke them by answering hastily. It was no different from suicide..

However, apart from that, there were some things I couldn't answer because I was so upset..

I couldn't understand why it was suddenly like this..

Although I didn’t know much about the pseudo-god in front of me. One thing I was sure of.

The current guy had the power to easily kill them..

Bonifa lying on the floor is proof of that..

But he didn't do that and even apologized. He said he was a little harsh..

It seemed like a mockery, but Galahaut somehow felt that he was truly apologizing..

Because I could see a faint feeling of regret in his calloused eyes..

Having seen so many human groups, Galahaut was able to distinguish between those who sincerely repented and those who falsely repented..

Whatever it was, he was a veteran paladin who had completed three digits of individual missions and double digits of group missions..

‘No, that can't be possible..’

Galahaut was in denial and wondered if he had been possessed..

Maybe that's it... I didn't think it would be possible for someone to show such demonic power..

More than their transcendental power, the devils boasted of their wicked schemes and poisonous tongues..

‘But we must not act hastily, the mission has already failed. In that case, you must move in a direction that survives as much as possible. To report this fact to the church.’

Galahaut held the long sword carefully, moved his hand behind his back to secretly spread the next plan, and faced Oliver without saying a word..

As if encountering a dangerous beast.

If the situation were to come to an end, Galahaut planned to take over Oliver himself and give the others time to escape.······.

Very much. There was an extremely long silence, and when the silence reached its peak, Oliver moved again..

“yet again······. I apologize.”

He apologized awkwardly and quickly passed by Galahaut and his colleagues..

Then, just like when he evacuated the cult members earlier, he ripped open the air and went inside..

Only after he was completely gone did everyone start to breathe properly..

It's as if the lead that was pressing on my chest has been removed..

Huh. Huh... The sound of breathing echoing in the air. Only then did everyone wipe away the cold sweat that had soaked their bodies and help Bonifa, who was in dire straits..

“Oh my god... Drivers need treatment! There is no sound body.”

“Come to your senses! Sir! You need to open your eyes!”

Hearing the servants' words, the paladins quickly moved and began treating Bonifa with holy magic..

As a miracle of God with performance beyond that of a magic healing potion..

“Damn it...! Lord Galahaut! Something is strange. Like the previous Servants, the Holy Law does not work properly.!!”

Galahaut, who was contemplating for a moment, came to his senses and hurriedly joined in when he heard a cry for help..

What Paladin Mason said was true.

Even though Bonifa's wounds were tried to be healed by granting holy magic like the previous Servants, the treatment did not work properly, as if it were covered with a foreign substance..

Even considering that healing is not a Mason's specialty, this was a strange case..

Only two beings could do this.

One is the devil written in the scriptures, the other is·····.

“Big...! Again, this is strange. The power consumed is too great compared to the amount of treatment, and the scars do not disappear..”

Galahaut checked with his own eyes to see if that was true..

It was true. The wounds that appeared all over Bonifa's body were not only slow to heal despite the use of holy techniques, but none of the wounds went away and ugly scars remained..

Not only the body covered in bruises, but also one face that looks like it was cut into a wall..

One servant who was looking over his shoulder was quietly shocked..

“Even though healing is done with sacred methods, scars remain... is this possible?”

The others nodded in agreement..

It was natural for them to react this way. It's just that all Servants are not Paladins, but they have been educated on the basic theory..

Holy Law is a miraculous power given to humans by God through angels. Any wound could be healed cleanly..

It could not only cause simple bruises, but also cuts, difficult-to-treat burns and putrefaction, and even cause lameness and even open the eyes of a blind person..

Obviously, that's the common sense they learned. But now that common sense is breaking down..

Even with holy dharma treatment, it cannot be completely cured..

Then there was only one conclusion that could be drawn..

Something so evil and powerful that it resists the powers bestowed upon it by angels..

“Well, then that masked guy is really a pagan god.-”

“-It's disrespectful, shut your mouth..”

Just as the fluctuating anxiety was about to be expressed through someone's mouth, Galahaut decisively interrupted the conversation and stopped the anxiety..

Resolute military discipline could not eliminate anxiety and fear, but it could be controlled..

“The only god in this world is the Father God of our Paterism. In rare cases, there are people who use evil tactics to resist the holy law, so do not commit a sin by spouting blasphemous words..”

Galahaut said firmly. It was actually true too.

There was a warlock who couldn't do anything even with Holy Law..

“Sorry, sorry. Sir.”

The servant came to his senses and apologized..

“You just need to know. First, heal Bonifa as much as you can and return to the church..”

“Did you say you're going back now??!”

Paladin Mason asked back in surprise..

Although he had a unique sense of intimidation due to his large size and fearless appearance, Galahaut was not intimidated and, as befits his position as a commander, he simply answered calmly..

“okay.”

“However, if things go on like this, our-”

“-That's my job as commander, not yours..”

That was true. The responsibility for the failure fell on Galahaut, the official person in charge of this mission. If it had succeeded, it would have been Bonifa's fault..

Mason knew that, so he couldn't say anything..

When Mason became cold and silent, Galahaut calmly persuaded him..

“Just because it's here doesn't mean there's anything sharp about it. There is no way to chase down those who have run away, and even if we do chase them, we cannot immediately suppress them with our own strength... It is better from the perspective of the church as a whole to quickly return and report the situation and respond..”

This is absolutely true.

Instead, the problem was that Galahaut had a huge responsibility to bear..

You probably don’t know that either..

Nonetheless, he insisted on returning. Think of the whole rather than the individual..

The paladin holding the spear said.

“Well then, let’s at least find out who this guy is..”

“Identity?”

“Yes, if you say you were harmed by an unknown person, that is absolutely not possible. Let's at least find out his identity and return..”

Everyone else agreed. Because he supported Galahaut that much. However, Galahaut just shook his head..

“There's no need for that..”

“Why??”

“because······.”

Galahaut looked at the bean stalk in his hand. Soybean stalks grown by the power of nature..

“·····Because it's roughly predictable..”

***

Oliver opened his eyes..

A very strange yet familiar space caught my eye..

An oddly shaped black space where the floor, walls, and ceiling are indistinguishable. It was like empty space,

Oliver was sitting there on a comfortable sofa..

‘Ah, as expected·····.’

Oliver thought as he looked at the raised table in front of him, the chocolate cookies piled high on it, and the large mug filled with warm milk..

As expected, it was there.

‘then······.’

As Oliver thought that, he looked ahead again, and there was a man sitting there..

A man whose face is dark and whose face is unidentifiable..

He looked at Oliver and opened his mouth..

“I changed the cup to a larger one to make it easier to dip cookies into. Do you like it, kid??”
