Genius Warlock-Episode 690
690. procession (2)
A collapsed and ruined convent.
On the wreckage, about a hundred surviving nuns knelt and clasped their hands in response..
“Me, I believe······.”
Then the being who promised glory and grace smiled, and the nuns all stood up from their seats..
The nuns got up and held their heads with their two praying hands..
Left ah ah ah...!!
I just pulled it out..
Do your own hair with your own hands.
without making any noise.
But that wasn't the end.
The nuns who pulled out their own hair should have fallen for their lives, but they did not fall; they were still standing on their own two legs..
Then, as if nothing had happened, they moved their headless bodies and began to trim the hair they had just pulled out themselves..
Deep! Sigh...!
Rattling. rattle.
Dig into your eyes with your fingers and open your mouth... It looked similar to cleaning a fish, but the nuns' hands were covered in red blood during the process..
Blood so thick and sticky that it looks black..
The blood that was dripping from his hand suddenly hardened like crystal, and turned into a long pole, hanging his trimmed head high in the sky..
Head shaking in the air.
Eventually, a light came on in his head and illuminated the darkness around him..
Like a lamp that clears the darkness.
About a hundred headless nuns stood silently behind the woman on the camel, holding lanterns made from her own hair.,
Some of them stood in front of a woman on a camel with their heads turned into bells rather than lanterns and waved the bell made from their heads once..
Deng······!! Deng······!!
A clear and pure bell sound that resonates.
At the sound, the swarms of frogs, lice, and flies that covered the entire city parted like the Red Sea..
Then, the largest road leading from the convent to Seonghwangcheong was opened..
Deng······!! Deng······!!
A headless nun moved forward, waving a bell made of her head, to open the way, and a woman on a camel advanced forward, accompanied by nuns holding lanterns, lighting up the city..
It looked like a royal procession..
The royal procession that no one can stop or stop due to its high majesty and authority..
At that time, a paladin shouted at the procession..
“Please answer me!”
It was Joanna, a paladin who lost her sacred law..
“What does that mean? If that's what you want... he······. Does he want to die??”
The procession stopped at Joanna's cry, and the woman on the camel in the middle turned her head and looked at Joanna..
[You're asking what you already know..]
The worst answer that Joanna had ignored came out..
I hope so, but I hope not.
Joanna moved to stop the woman on the camel, even though she knew it was useless..
I knew better than anyone else that it was useless, but I couldn't just watch..
Isn't it so sad?
Just as Joanna, who had lost her paladin powers, was about to commit suicide, Kevin grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her head..
With an expression full of strong will.
Joanna sat down at the sight, and walked forward with the smile of a woman on a camel..
Deng······!!
Deng······!!
Ringing a bell.
As the bell rang far away, Joanna sat down and asked:.
“why······. You stopped me?”
Joanna knew it too. What a foolish and selfish question you are asking right now..
If Kevin hadn't stopped him just now, the only thing he would have lost was his life. Kevin had saved his life..
Nevertheless, Joanna criticized Kevin for saving her life..
I can't bear it if I don't do this. I can't bear my own helplessness.
As expected, I had to send Oliver away somehow. I should have refused when he asked for prayer..
Just as Joanna was about to burst into tears, overcome with self-destruction, Kevin opened his mouth..
“Something similar happened in the past.”
“······?”
“Ravili, the capital of Gallos. There, when Zenon fights the human meat cook. At that time, he and his entire group went to help Oliver, but were blocked. To the puppet. He wanted us to just leave and not help Zeno..”
“how did you do it?”
“I agreed. There was nothing we could do at that time. Because I didn't have the confidence to defeat the puppet or outrun it. So I decided to do what I could..”
“······okay.”
“Some people say I am too wise. That's probably sarcastic. But it doesn't matter. No matter how you feel, you can't do what you can't do. If so, you should do what you can. No matter how resentful or unfair it may be, that is reality..”
“now······. What can you do??”
“We're going to take out the cardinal priests buried beneath these ruins..”
Kevin opened his warlock eyes and pointed to a spot in the ruined surroundings..
“First, I plan to save them first. Then there might be some way. What do you want the driver to do? Would you sit down and despair? Would you like to try something??”
Kevin asked, and after a moment, Joanna stood up..
***
Deng······!!
Deng······!!
Deng······!!
A thriving residential area infested with frogs, flies and lice..
A bell could be heard far away..
The sound of a bell that seems to strike directly into the mind.
Deng······!!
Deng······!!
At that sound, the citizens of Seonghwang City, who had been distracted by swarms of frogs and flies, opened their eyes one by one and came out..
Among its citizens, there were ordinary people who came to provide labor for the state, as well as people from so-called prestigious families who came from foreign countries to raise their children to become high-ranking priests..
Because the Paterism always emphasized love and equality, the two lived in the same residential area, but were still subtly divided..
Through the presence or absence of employees, clothing, and accessories worn on the body. Like an invisible wall.
But, ironically, now that invisible wall has collapsed..
water turned into blood.
A flock of frogs filling the earth.
This one springs up from all directions.
A swarm of flies fell from the sky.
Malicious diseases and venomous swellings caused by those swarms of flies.
In the face of all the disasters, people became truly equal..
This could be confirmed through the soft light shining from afar..
fire?
When light returned to the city that had lost its light due to the disaster, people all turned their gaze toward the light source..
And I realized two things.
The fact that the frogs, flies, and lice that threatened their lives had disappeared..
Deng······!!
Deng······!!
that someone is coming here.
The proof is that the bells and lights are getting closer..
People who died in the disaster and survived looked at the approaching bells and lights as if they were fascinated by something, and were soon able to see them..
A huge procession approaching here and something huge in the middle of it..
I couldn't see it in detail because of the backlight of the lanterns that illuminated the procession, but it was in the shape of a woman riding a four-legged beast..
woman with crown on head.
But it couldn't have been a real woman. She was as big as dozens of people combined, and more than anything, the atmosphere she gave off was not that of a human..
So what on earth is that??
The question was soon resolved.
Even as I was worrying, the procession got closer and closer to the distance I could see with the naked eye..
“Inhale······!”
Everyone who saw the procession took a deep breath..
He saw a procession of headless nuns and a woman riding a camel in the middle of it..
I am overwhelmed by this unrealistic and blasphemous existence..
Those beings were proudly walking along the Holy Kingdom Road, the center of Paterism..
Deng······!!
Deng······!!
Even at this moment.
At a sight that overturned common sense, a fear greater than the previous disaster spread along the highway and throughout the kingdom..
Even though there was no threat or pain, everyone in the city felt fear..
Feeling like your whole body is frozen, feeling hopeless that you can't escape, and yet desperately wanting to escape somehow..
The answer was simpler than you thought.
“Poetry, an apostle of God······.”
Someone muttered lowly..
“Apostle of God who defeated disaster······!”
Reasoning, instinct. It wasn't clear what it was, but someone muttered, thinking it was a woman on a camel who had defeated the plague that had descended on her during the reign of the emperor..
Then some people began to kneel down and bow their heads..
Because the easiest way to escape fear was to embrace it..
Surprisingly, even though no one explained this fact, people realized this fact and everyone made the comfortable choice..
Instead of facing the unknown fear, I decided to kneel and bow my head..
The workers of Seonghwangsi Kingdom, the nobles and the wealthy who came to Seonghwangsi Province to raise their children to become high priests..
“What are you all doing??!!”
Someone shouted among them.
A priest wearing crimson rims. It was none other than the Cardinal Priest..
While six disasters struck the kingdom and everyone was in chaos, the Chugi Priest led his people down to the residential area alone..
There was only one reason he was here now..
To save people who are in confusion while disaster strikes like waves..
Although we were unable to do anything about the endless waves of disaster, we were able to stop those who were driven by fear and tried to bow down to the devil..
“Everyone stand up! How can that be an apostle of God??!!”
Although the Cardinal Priest felt the same fear as the rest of the people, he shouted at those who were committing blasphemy to stand up..
What kind of apostle of God appears using human flesh??
The Chugi priest, who devoted his entire life to the religious order, reflexively shouted to prevent the tragedy occurring before his eyes..
It was something I knew instinctively. The faith of everyone on this earth is being tested right now..
Success or failure was not important. It was a moment when something more fundamental was at stake..
At the cry of the Cardinal Priest, the Holy Knights and Servants, who had malignant tumors growing all over their bodies, gathered one by one and blocked the road to block the nuns' procession..
I couldn't keep my eyes open and watch that unholy being go to Seonghwangcheong like this. Never, just leave the place where God dwells-
[do you believe in god?]
A woman on a camel stopped the procession and asked a question..
Towards the cardinal priest who risks his life to stop him..
At this the Chugi priest shouted.
“Don't try to test my faith, devil!”
I put all my faith into it.
However, the being in front of me only smiled kindly despite the Chugi Priest's hostility..
[If so, could you please get out of the way? It's like I came here following his orders..]
“dare······! Do not mention God with your blasphemous mouth.······!!”
[Shall I show you the proof??]
The woman on the camel said this and looked at the people who bowed to her..
At the same time, they stood up, trembled slightly, their chests seemed to bulge out, and the inside and outside of their bodies turned over, forming a new appearance..
Like a knight made of blood, intestines, and flesh..
The cardinal priests and paladins, who had blocked the devil's path with the power of faith, looked at what seemed like a knight who had sacrificed believers.,
Soon, it was proven that the knight-like thing was not a knight-errant, but a knight-errant..
Sigh.-!!
Yellow light on the blade. By using the divine law bestowed by God.
The woman on the camel asked.
[Do you still believe in Him??]
The Chugi priest answered without realizing it with cracked eyes..
“······no.”
Sincerely.
