Became the youngest disciple of God of War - Episode 151
151fury
I met three demon kings and came to my own conclusion..
Right now, we shouldn't perceive them as enemies that need to be defeated..
‘There is absolutely no chance of winning from the front..’
Let's admit what we have to admit.
The Demon King is not the type to show off one's pride as a warrior, but rather a disaster to be avoided..
Not yet.
In other words, it was natural that my goal was to block consciousness.…….
“The devil was summoned.”
“huh.”
I followed Evan’s gaze as he calmly shook his head..
“The eclipse hasn't even happened yet.?”
Evan replied, still looking at the sunset sky..
“Because Hadenaihar.”
I paused, but then Haden Eihar's nickname came to mind..
“…Could it be that Haden Eihar's omen is not a solar eclipse but a lunar eclipse??”
“You got half of it right. Of course, you won't be able to check it with the naked eye. It's the other side of the world that causes erosion..”
“What is the world behind this?.”
“It is also called the shadow world, the world beyond the lake, or simply the inside of a dream. Another name for Haden Eihar is the devil behind the scenes..”
Evan explained with a smile..
“Light and darkness, two sides of the same coin, day and night, sun and moon... … . The Demon King of the Blood Moon is also the ruler of the false world..”
“…….”
Where on earth should I start and how far should I believe what this guy says?.
Of course, you can't believe everything they say..
That's because I know how much lies and deception these church members practice..
Moreover, there is a natural possibility that this guy is the leader of the small religion who stands at the top of all of them and is just telling lies with his naturally virtuous expression..
but…….
I also know how to detect the truth of others in my own way..
Of course, like the fourth death penalty, it is not an accurate identification method based on biological reaction, but rather a guess based on experience and a little sense..
In general, humans are not good at lying when their survival is at stake..
That doesn't mean I don't do it. It's difficult.
In reality, how many people can tell a lie without even changing their complexion when the tip of a knife touches their uvula?.
In that sense, what Evan said now is.
‘…It looks real?’
People on the verge of death do not necessarily react violently..
Some people feel emptiness instead of anger, sadness, despair, fear, or frustration, and Evan is exactly like that right now..
I'm not particularly afraid of death, but I feel like I've already given up.?
Anyway, it's clear that Evan has awakened to become the leader of a small religion, but I find it strange in many ways that such a guy would show such an attitude..
“If the devil came down, wouldn't it be good for you??”
A religious leader is someone who receives unconditional favor from the devil..
According to Juan, Su Jiao also receives similar treatment..
“If it were me who was in charge of the Advent ceremony, then yes. I barely escaped last night too. Even though I died once and was awakened as a small religious leader, the demon king still tried to kill me..”
I was quite surprised by this fact..
I knew that the factions within the church and the relationships between factions were not good, but…….
Still, isn’t Evan a small religious leader?.
Even Priest Juan seemed to care about Su Jyoju..
The Demon King of the Black Swamp killed even the priest who presided over the ceremony without hesitation, but Evan, who was awakening as a small religious leader at the time, escaped the death sentence..
Even I could tell that I was being treated specially by the Dark Church in many ways..
‘The devil just wanted to kill this guy..’
Of course, there is a possibility that this statement is a lie..
“Do you understand? At least the guy who started this scandal has no discernment. He's full of thoughts of killing anyone who bothers him. Regardless of whether it is a small religious leader or something else.”
Evan twirled his finger..
“He's probably a bit smart. If he was sane, he wouldn't have summoned Haden Ai Har in the first place..”
“…….”
Evan's sense of discomfort.
Of course, such a sense of discomfort may be due to the fact that the Evan Helvin I knew was doing things that he would not have done.…….
It's not just that.
‘This guy doesn't seem loyal to the church..’
I had a vague feeling, but now I am convinced.
Anyway, the Dark Church is also a religious order, so it would be more appropriate to call it faith rather than loyalty..
There was almost no such sign from Evan..
Is that why they are spreading information about the denomination??
‘First of all, one thing is clear.’
It is true that the devil has already descended.
It was the most unbelievable thing Evan said, but not believing it because you don't want to believe it is nothing but denying reality..
In fact, life is like this sometimes. The closer you want to deny something, the closer it is to the truth..
Of course, that doesn't mean the doubts have completely disappeared..
“To summon the Demon King, you must meet three conditions. A land full of sacrifices and mana, and even a priest to recite sutras..”
First of all, this land where the Academy was built… … . It's a small island on a river, so it's hard to call it land, but anyway, this place is full of mana..
In fact, the Twilight River itself is no different from a gigantic stream of mana..
I heard that the reason this place was designated as the heart and institution of the empire was because of the river..
“Let's make a hundred concessions and assume that the priest is hiding somewhere in the academy. But the offering?”
To summon even a part of the Demon King, at least dozens, or at most thousands, of sacrifices are needed..
Of course, in an institution, even a place like an academy, it is impossible for that many people to disappear without a rumor..
Of course, I know a way to summon the Demon Lord without any major conditions..
“Could it be that there is another Sogyoju?.”
“well…….”
Evan laughed heartily..
“Even though I am a member of the church, it is a bit awkward to reveal everything about the church..”
I quietly looked at Evan and said.
“Do you know that you are in a state of defeat right now?.”
“of course.”
“But is it because you are confident that you come out strong? I don't think Luan Bad Knicker will be able to easily mess with his one-time roommate, Evan Helvin.?”
“…….”
I said it with a smile on purpose, but Evan didn't respond to me..
“good job.”
“what?”
“If you had smiled back this time, I would have cut off your arm..”
Luckily, I'm not a clueless guy and I think he clearly understood that I was being serious..
Rather than being frightened by my threats, it was just that he was a little concerned about his words and actions..
‘anyway…….’
If Evan Helvin is a small cult leader, it would be impossible to extract information through interrogation or torture..
That's a church member..
Basically, they cannot be subdued through pain, they have no friends outside of the church, and other than that, they have no particular weaknesses..
This means that information must be extracted through guided interrogation through natural conversation, and such language can only be used by an inquisitor who is an expert in dealing with church members..
The guy like Ainsburn that Iron Blood Prince interrogated last time isn't even a member of the church..
“Anyway, what you're saying is that everyone in the academy is going to die soon.?”
“huh. In terms of timing, I think it will probably be around the full moon this month..”
second full moon.
It matches exactly with the period that Seren mentioned..
I nodded..
This is probably all the information we can get from Evan at this point..
In that case, it would be right for me to get to the point too..
“Evan.”
I called this guy Evan for the first time. It’s safe to say that I acknowledged it in my own way..
Even though this guy has awakened to become the leader of the small religion and has changed much more than before, he is still Evan..
“huh.”
Evan answered.
As far as the way he tilted his head slightly, he didn't seem much different from the Evan Helvin I knew..
“Let's do something together with me.”
“Day?”
“While you're at this academy, why don't you just cooperate to drive out the demon lord?.”
Evan looked at me with a very shocked expression on my face, and then burst into empty laughter..
“…Are you telling me to join hands with the church members, especially the small church leader? Badknicker's bloodline?”
Whenever this happens, the name Badniker is annoying. Every time I say something, it's a bad nicker, a bad nicker.
It feels like there is a prejudice attached to me regardless of my intentions and actions..
“I'm a bit different from other badniks. Don’t you feel that too?.”
“I felt it, but I never thought they would talk about cooperation so openly. Are you not a member of the church??”
“That joke is kind of offensive..”
“sorry.”
“And if I'm a heretic from Badknicker, you're not a heretic among church members either.?”
“me?”
“In a way, I'm offering you treason..”
Evan laughed at my words..
“It's not wrong, but... … . I have different values about the devil than other guys..”
“It's different?”
“I believe that human affairs should be resolved among humans..”
“…….”
Evan mumbled in a subtle voice, looked at me again, and smiled..
“I'll believe you. I'm sure a normal badnik would have cracked his head the moment he found out I was a member of the church. But there is a condition.”
“say it.”
“First things first. Do not reveal my identity to anyone.”
“good.”
I nodded..
It's a condition that was already expected, so it's a benefit for me as well..
If you bring this guy in right now, there will definitely come a moment when you come face to face with another group member, say Seren.…….
It's hard to think that revealing this guy's identity at that time was a particularly good idea..
It will literally only add to the confusion..
“Second, you will completely trust me in this operation..”
“What are you talking about??”
“Literally. In this temporary partnership, I will do my best to survive. I don't want to die yet..”
Evan shrugged and continued..
“The memories of evil awakened upon awakening, I will mobilize them all to survive..”
“Then it's not good?”
“That's a good thing. But the common sense of the church is very far from what you know. You seem flexible for a badnik, but you still won't be able to follow my instructions without question..”
I laughed and said.
“It's useless to worry. I'm much more experienced and flexible than you think..”
In the first place, my common sense was almost destroyed during the 10 years I lived in Yeongsan..
“It's a bit hard to follow everything you say, but I promise I won't dismiss it as bullshit..”
“That's enough.”
Evan nodded and said with a serious face..
“As far as I can tell, there are two most suspicious suspects. Glenn Scarlett and Ferist Scarlett.”
“prince and princess.”
I was a little surprised.
It's only been a few days since I came to the academy, but I never thought they'd already narrow it down that far..
Am I just smart?.
Or did he use a method I don't know like Seren?.
Anyway, it was impromptu, but it may have been a good decision to involve Evan..
“that's right.”
Evan nodded and then said.
“It is difficult to be sure which of the two is a member of the church. To be more clear, it would be impossible. As I said before, we don't have much time left right now. Intimidation, torture, and interrogation won't have much effect. If I had presided over Haden-Eihar's descent, my spirit would most likely have been broken. So I thought of a trick.”
“Let's listen.”
“Kill them both. I will kill the princess, so you kill the prince. how?”
Evan looked at me as if he wanted a compliment..
I thought about it for a moment, but I couldn't find the hidden meaning in those words, so I had no choice but to say this..
“That's bullshit, fuck..”
Evan looked confused at my swearing, but soon realized something and said, “Ah!” And she struck her forehead..
“okay. Then I will kill the prince. you killed the princess.”
Okay? Looking at Evan looking at me.
I hit my forehead in a different way than this guy..
It was a shaky alliance from the start..
