I Became God of War's Youngest Disciple - Episode 89
89fury
“There was also a position called a minor cult leader in the Dark Church.?”
I asked first because it was a word I had never heard before in my life..
“Although it was as shrouded in mystery as the cult leader, it was confirmed that it existed..”
“…So are you sure that Evan is the leader of the small cult??”
“The head of a cult is an inviolable position even within the dark church. There is no way for a being as high as a priest to lie. For us, it's no different from impersonating God..”
That's right, but…….
“…If Evan is a minor cult leader, does that mean his father, Lord Dodds Helvin, is the cult leader??”
“I don't know about Evan Youngdo's birth. That's not important now. Anyway, the cult's magic is not at a level that we can understand with our common sense..”
“What do you mean.”
“I know the term intermittent inheritance.?”
“no.”
“Simply put, ancestral genes are expressed after several generations. A typical example would be your father..”
Iron Blood Ball?
“The matriarch's characteristics as a black fairy stand out especially compared to her siblings.?”
After listening to it, it seems like that..
“The Black Priest is an old monster that has lived for at least hundreds of years, and no one knows its true identity. Who knew that the seeds that such a monster sowed hundreds of years ago would bloom today??”
…therefore.
Could it be that a nobleman named Heukgyoju hundreds of years ago had a relationship with the ancestor of the family while hiding his identity??
I couldn't help but laugh at Junian's words..
“Wow. Words that will turn heads when bloodlineists from great families hear them..”
“It's just a whisper, but everyone is mindful of that possibility..”
“…….”
I asked after a short interval..
“Are you going to kill Evan??”
Junian looked at me..
It was not easy to read what he was thinking in his half-closed eyes..
“Without the priest, the ritual will fail, and the priest will be torn to death by the devil without us having to do anything. Isn't that the only thing that can solve this mess right now?.”
“If Evan is not a leader.”
“Are you defending that guy??”
“…….”
“Probably not. You weren't surprised when you heard me. Aren’t you also suspicious of Evan??”
Of course, one of the main tasks of the Inquisitor is interrogation..
In other words, they were not just demon hunters, but also masters of psychological warfare..
“Of course, regardless of that, I will take full responsibility. The reason I'm telling you this is simple. It's not to ask for permission, it's just a confirmation..”
“Even so, it would be too hasty to kill him right away..”
Junian looked at me and asked.
“Yes, you. I received some blessings?”
“One outline.”
“hmm.”
Then Junian said with an ambiguous expression:.
“You just said it was hasty, right? Not necessarily. Even more so for you.”
What kind of bullshit is this??
That's the moment.
Suddenly, I felt something warm in my nose..
“……?”
I instinctively wiped it with my hand and it was blood..
“uh-.”
And dizzy.
I almost collapsed for a moment, so I leaned my hand against the wall..
“It looks like a reaction is coming soon. but. If you only have one blessing, holding on until now is worth it..”
“What are you talking about?…….”
“4Once this stage is reached, the Demon King's instruments are distributed throughout the region. And those with low resistance, that is, resistance, are affected first..”
“…constant horsepower?”
“I'm talking about blessings.”
Junian looked at me and said.
“From now on, the ones with the least protection will die first. Since you only have one blessing, you are the first in line..”
Phew-.
Junian exhaled smoke and said:.
“Think simple. If you don't kill it, you die. It won't be difficult?”
“…hmm.”
Is that really so??
I felt rejected by Junian’s words..
It's not just a feeling of repulsion, I feel like I'm somehow missing something..
I waited until the dizziness subsided, and when I felt better, I opened my mouth..
“how long do i have left to live?”
“…….”
Then Junian looked at me for a moment..
His face still had no change in expression, but he looked a little embarrassed..
“… well. There are individual differences in mutations, but if you have a nosebleed, you will generally die within five to six hours..”
Is it about half a day?.
I saw Junian..
‘Only a baptized clergy can claim complete innocence…….’
Anyway, this woman also shared a lot of information to convince me.
In that case, I should show at least some sincerity..
“Luke Badniker has infiltrated the retreat..”
“Luke? The leader of the Iron Blood Knights.?”
“yes.”
“That person infiltrated the retreat? Rather, how do you know that fact?-.”
“I heard it directly from Assad..”
“Umm…….”
suspicious eyes.
I had no choice but to raise my middle finger and show the ring..
“It's not like you suddenly wanted to fuck me..”
“of course. Look at the ring. This is a magic tool I received from the head of the family..”
“Banjira…….”
Junian narrowed his eyes and said.
“It sure looks unusual..”
“Right?”
“Moreover, after listening to it, there are people who guess.”
person who points out?
“One of the knight instructors seemed to have extraordinary skills. He wanted to know the level, so he continued to observe, but he wasted nothing..”
“who is that?”
“It's a knight named Crew..”
“crew…….”
In reverse, Luke…….
…That thing is a pseudonym.?
“That person isn't dead?”
“You probably saw the correction too, right? Before the situation erupted, the knights went out on patrol. Of course, the priest said he killed them... Maybe not everything.”
“If Captain Luke is alive and he participates in the war.?”
“…….”
Junian unexpectedly thought seriously and said:.
“Even the hunting teacher could not react to the devil's divine punishment and died from a single blow... … . If you're a Sangvis leader, you might be able to hold out. If another detachment attacks the priest in the meantime,-.”
“…….”
“The odds of winning are double... No, it will go up three times..”
Junian looked at me and said.
“But it's still a slim chance. Killing Evan Helvin is a much easier way..”
“If people only look for the easy way, they will get seriously hurt at some point. And it's not clear that Evan is the leader of the small cult.?”
“…….”
Junian looked at me..
He seems to be debating whether to just ignore me or persuade me..
“…six hours.”
“yes?”
“Six hours to prove Evan's innocence. If you can't, I'll ignore your opinion and just kill you..”
In fact, the instructor, Junian, has made a lot of concessions to this extent..
For now, I nodded..
“Let's do it that way. Then, the first priority would be to join Director Luke.?”
“okay. According to what was recorded in the communication modification, the direction he was heading to was Area A-3. Let's go there first.”
“All right.”
I thought the conversation was over and was leaving the room when Junian suddenly made an unexpected suggestion..
“Ruan Badniker, do you have any intention of becoming an Inquisitor??”
“…Suddenly?”
“You stood in front of me during the last class too. I wasn't interested in this.?”
Come to think of it, something like that happened during elective class..
You remembered..
“It's not like it doesn't exist... Why are you suddenly making such a suggestion?.”
“There is always a manpower shortage here. A talented person like you is very welcome..”
“A talent like me?.”
Still, I felt slightly better because I thought Junian thought of me favorably, but Junian suddenly raised his index finger..
And twirling it around my temple…….
“That guy has gone crazy.”
“…….”
I'm not going, fuck.
* * *
Junian said he had to prepare something in his room, so for now, I came down to the first floor alone..
As soon as I came down, all eyes were naturally drawn to me, but looking at them, it seemed like these awkward guys weren't saying a word..
Hector asked.
“You came. What did we talk about??”
“We discussed what to do next..”
“Wasn’t that something that could be said here??”
That's right.
‘sharp guy’
I was thinking about how to respond, but Seren appropriately changed the subject..
“So the conclusion is reached?”
“I thought I could get a helper so I decided to move there..”
“aid? who?”
“Luke Badnicker.”
Hector was surprised by those words..
“The leader is here? Are you sure??”
“I don't know. Because I heard it too.”
“To whom?”
“teacher of doctrine.”
Of course, I was the one who knew Luke's whereabouts, but for now, I talked to Junian that way..
- Why bother doing such a bothersome thing?.
- What comes from the instructor’s mouth is more credible than from my mouth..
- but.
Fortunately, Junian was convinced by my excuse..
As expected, these guys didn't doubt my words either..
“The leader is here... … . If he joins, being a priest won't be a problem..”
Hector spoke with a brighter face for the first time in a long time, and the other guys also showed similar expressions..
I guess Luke, the leader of the Iron Blood Knights, has a greater reputation than I thought..
And at this point I saw Evan for a moment..
This is a guy I've been keeping an eye on since we first met.…….
Honestly I still don't know.
Is this guy really not affiliated with the church?.
Or maybe he's just so sneaky that I can't see through it..
“Evan, how are you feeling??”
“It's not bad.”
Evan laughed bitterly..
“It's not good either.”
“Is that so?.”
I laughed and said.
“Just don't overdo it. half face.”
“huh. thank you.”
Then I felt eyes on me.
Charon was looking intently in this direction..
‘what.’
As I speak with my mouth, his head turns slightly..
what?
* * *
Immediately after the teaching teacher came down, we headed straight to area A-3..
I checked it on the map and it was quite close to the vacant lot..
Of course, because the forest was full of demons, a distance that would normally have taken 10 minutes took an hour to cover..
‘…Umm.’
And I was feeling my condition deteriorating in real time..
After learning the First Chloride Ball, my physical condition was affected by the state of the sun.…….
My current situation is similar to when I was stuck deep in a cave without a single ray of sunlight for a week..
“Your face is the color of shit.”
Since that prickly Seren is worried enough, I guess I don't have to tell her what my complexion is like..
“…I know. Did I eat something wrong?.”
“That energy bar sure tasted awful..”
It was difficult, but not to the point where I couldn't walk yet, so I didn't fall behind.…….
We were finally able to arrive at Area A-3..
“This…….”
“hmm.”
As soon as we arrived, a corpse of a knight greeted us..
Upon inspection, the body was not significantly damaged and there was only one hole in the body..
It seems to be the same sign as the hunting teacher..
“…First, I guess I'll have to look around. There doesn't seem to be any demons around here, so let's spread out and search..”
Following Junian's instructions, we each split up and started searching..
Sabak-.
I headed toward 9 o'clock, and after a short walk, I found another body..
The cause of death of the cooled corpse was the same as that of the previous ones, but this knight had a hole in the middle of his forehead..
I narrowed my brows and looked at the hurt in my eyes..
‘Can we stop it??’
A blow that even Badniker's knight and hunting instructor could not react to..
Still, I know that this is the devil's divine punishment..
The difference between knowing and not knowing is big, so I think I might be able to respond in my own way.…….
Since the cost of being wrong is your life, I also become cautious..
‘If you see it in person, you will definitely get the feel for it..’
I honestly don't know much about the video left in the communication edit..
After that, I found a few more corpses, but there was nothing to salvage..
Rather, the situation only increases anxiety..
‘I'm sure Luke isn't dead either.?’
If not…….
I stopped thinking and looked back..
“What?”
Sabak-.
Seren appeared by stepping on dead grass..
I wasn't surprised because it was a guy I knew, but I was a little puzzled..
This guy must have gone in the opposite direction from me.?
“I have something I want to ask.”
“What.”
“Are you close friends with Evan Helvin??”
“what?”
It's a random question..
As I glared at him with a frown, Seren said:.
“Charon told me.”
“what.”
“What you and the teacher discussed upstairs.”
“…That guy? Did you overhear??”
I didn't feel any presence.
“It is said that Charon has the blessing of the plain clothes..”
knitting… bat?
I'm sure it's an animal with incredibly good hearing..
I never thought there would be such a blessing..
I said while looking at Seren's expression..
“What do you want to say?.”
“Evan Helvin is probably the right leader. I'm almost sure.”
“There's almost no such thing as certainty.”
“This is not the time to joke around.”
Seren said with an expressionless face..
“When it comes to demon hunting, you must follow the Inquisitor's instructions. No, even if that's not the case, I agree with the idea of killing Evan Helvin. therefore… If you don't welcome it, you don't have to come forward..”
Seren said with sunken eyes.
“Because I can do it alone.”
