Chapter 63 – 63. Blast, Break, Steal

Our Heart Church was a fairly famous pseudo-church in the neighborhood. And, like all pseudo-groups, it was a very rich place, sucking up all the money of its followers. Also, churches that are so rich are all large.

A building large enough to accommodate a few hundred people ridiculously, and even a high wall as if it wanted to block the eyes of outsiders.

In addition, there are basements and hidden rooms that are difficult to guess for what reason.

In a world that has become a zombie apocalypse, it was a building with very favorable conditions.

“Ruler! Everyone! Everyone open the scriptures! So from now on! There will be a morning service by Geun-oh Moon!!”

At the cry of the young man, those gathered in the auditorium opened the scriptures self-published by the Woori Maeum Church and looked at the podium with expectant expressions.

“Ah. Everyone. Hello. A new morning greeted us today.”

A young believer, who had been buoyant, fell back and a middle-aged man with a full beard stood in front of a podium with the phrase “New Commandment” Written on it.

He is Moon Geun-oh, a religious expert and religious leader of the Central Association, which is a union of hometown friends, fellowships, and alumni associations.

Originally, he was the secretary of the Hyangwoo Association, but at the same time as he awakened as a demagog, he became the leader of the Demon Church.

“Everyone! The world is collapsing in vain! It’s already been 3 weeks since Jesus abandoned us! We are still alive!”

The leader’s voice has power. He has charisma. It has a demonic charm that dazzles, draws in, and attracts people.

All thanks to skills related to agitation and crowd control. Those who did not possess the magic stats were bound to be easily seduced by his words.

And, of course, those gathered here do not know that fact. Before he even noticed, he had already fallen for the master’s skills and became idiots who were enthusiastic about his words.

I was becoming a puppet who cried and laughed at every word he said, dying when he told me to die, and living when he told me to live.

“Come on, everyone! Let’s all shout together before we start talking!!! To us! With faith! Love! With hope! Giving you wisdom!!! The savior of the new world!! You are the savior!!! Long live Saint Daniel Park!!!”

Moon Geun-oh heightened the emotions of the audience and idolized Daniel Park, a demonist who is a new saint of demonism and a wise god.

About a hundred people, who were toyed with by his voice colored with his magical powers, like a kind of hypnosis, let out shouts of joy at the words of the leader Moon Geun-oh.

“Hurray!!! Hurray!!!”

“Long live the saint!! Long live the teacher!!”

“Bouhasa!!!”

The cries of the fanatical crowd resounded through the auditorium.

Of course, since the soundproofing process was certain, there was no need for their shouts to spread to the outside.

It just echoes and echoes in the auditorium, creating a more enthusiastic atmosphere.

“Everyone, look! In this doomsday, when everyone screams in pain! We are so rich! What can also lead a satisfying life! Every! It’s our new week!! Because of the powerless! With mighty power! You are the one who bestows power!!! It is thanks to Saint Daniel Park!!!!”

“You’re right!!”

“You’re right!!!”

The teacher calmed the excitement of the audience a little and continued his speech.

“By the way. Everyone. Dare to us who wish for peace, stability and well-being in the future, Gaaamhi!!! Sticking out the dirty blade!!! Scared!!!! Outrageous men who want to plunder have appeared!!!”

At Moon Geun-oh’s cry, the crowd was agitated for a moment, and the gathered believers fell into confusion.

The head of the church quickly continued before their agitated hearts spread and became completely tinged with fear.

“So that!!! We are!! Against the enemies!!! We decided to recruit Saints to fight together!! We desperately need your help!! Bring down the mace on those savages! Those who are brave!! Raise your hand now!!! Your voluntary participation is required!! Our territory! Manor! To protect this peace and prosperity!! Are there people who will be brave enough to step forward!!”

“Me, me!! I want to help!!!”

“For our church!! I want to fight with you!!!”

As the windsmen began to raise their hands one by one, people in succession raised their hands.

When most of the people in the auditorium raised their hands, Geun-oh Moon smiled slightly.

“Great!!! I!! Moon Geun-oh, the leader of Our Maum Church..! With your enthusiasm!! In courage!! I am deeply impressed!!!”

When the religious leader knocked on the podium, the young believers who had fallen behind, as well as the central association’s executives, dragged a jar full of red beverage to Surye.

“Come on, everyone. Soon, before driving out our enemies who are coming!! Prepared by the Holy Son! His, His Precious Blood!!! Let’s take a sip!!! With the right future!! For a bright tomorrow!!! Those who wish to receive this grace, those who wish to open a future together with us, come forward and take a sip of this Precious Blood!!!”

Soon, the people in the auditorium took a small paper cup of a red, unknown drink filled with jars on a line.

“Okay then drink this!! Forever and ever!! We will regard it as ‘agreeing’ to agree with us!!! Ruler!! Everyone for our hopeful life!!!”

“For!!!”

“Hurray!!! Hurray!!!”

In this way, Moon Geun-oh obtained ‘consent’ from all those who received the red liquid called Holy Blood.

Those who received the Precious Blood cheered for joy and started drinking from the paper cups. And in the meantime, the priest who was on the podium hurriedly left the auditorium.

“Phew. Shit. I’m used to it after doing this.”

“Thank you for your hard work, Professor.”

“It’s okay. The neighborhood class president is a religious leader. Let’s hurry. I’ve done all my work, so I’m going to take a break for a while. My throat hurts so much.”

“Shall we prepare a plate?”

“It’s good. Call all the executives. Let’s eat and die today. Anyway, if all those guys in the auditorium are possessed by demons, we won’t be really scared anymore. Is not it?”

“Hehe. That’s right. It’s been a while since we had a dinner.”

Moon Geun-oh and his closest aides hurriedly left the auditorium while imagining pleasant thoughts.

Currently, those gathered in the auditorium are all non-awakened people. Awakeners cannot be made into demon possessors.

Even the non-awakened ones who were judged to be useful were notified separately the day before and were all removed.

“But this… Isn’t it a bit fishy?”

“Well? I’m not sure. However. It’s a bit hot…”

Those who drank the red drink, who did not know what it was, became more and more excited.

Soon, what sounded like heated groans resounded from inside the auditorium, and some started coughing up blood.

“Hey, are you okay… You look like your complexion isn’t looking good…”

“That, that. I feel a little… Coo hee… Coo heo…!”

“Uhhhhh!!!! Why are you doing this all of a sudden!!!”

“You!! Why are you vomiting blood all of a sudden!! Hey.. Uh, uh uh!!”

“Kyaaaaa!!!”

Only then did those who remained in the auditorium realize that something was strange.

Before you know it, the gyoju has disappeared, and the drink you just received smells fishy.

Even the door to the auditorium does not open.

“Wait a minute!!! Aaaaa!!!!!”

Soon someone’s scream broke out, and red blood splattered in all directions.

It was because one of those who drank had bitten the neck of the man next to him with his eyes stained red.

The auditorium was divided into those who collapsed vomiting blood and those who went mad.

In the meantime, those who had not yet drunk or received a drink died at the hands of rampaging humans.

“This, this fucking!!! Go away!!!”

“Kyaaaaa!!! Stop!!! It hurts!!!”

“Oh, Mama!!”

The auditorium begins to be stained with blood in an instant.

The Awakeners who had blocked the entrance of the auditorium tightly pretended not to hear the screams of the people inside.

They were the scapegoats.

It’s the fault of those who didn’t know how to ‘agree’ in the first place.

No, it is the fault of the cowards who did not ‘consent’ in the first place.

This tragedy is all the fault of the sinners trying to raid this place.

Those who blocked the entrance to the auditorium thought to themselves that they had done nothing wrong.

Because they, too, were already half-mind controlled by Demagog’s rhetoric.

No, even if they weren’t dominated, they were the ones who would abandon their parents if they could sacrifice others to survive.

After such a long time, there was not even a scream left in the auditorium.

The souls of the dead will be collected by Yang Ji-sang, a wisp warlock and demon sorcerer, and Park Daniel will save the ‘fallen ones’ who are still alive.

At that time, the basement of the church, the gospel room.

This is the place where the original owner of this building, the head of the Woori Maumhoe, brought female followers to hold a memorial service.

In the center of it, a man with a pale white face, no hair all over his body, including his head, and with unusual patterns carved all over his skin, as if he had harmed himself, sat cross-legged.

Also, on either side of him, four demon possessors who had abandoned their weak human bodies after being demonized were chewing on a human who had apparently been alive until just now.

“Saint..”

A man approached Park Daniel, who was meditating, and spoke to him.

He was a young man who handed out red drinks in the auditorium, aka ‘corruption fluid’ as if it were holy blood.

Park Daniel naturally asked him a question.

“Looks like it’s over now.”

That the errand boy had come meant that by now, new candidates for possessing demons had been born in the auditorium.

“Yes, most of the people ‘consent’ of their own will. You drank the Precious Blood.”

Those who drank Holy Blood or Corruption Liquid have a half chance of becoming a Corruptor or dying vomiting blood. Those who became corrupted then face the devil with Demonist skills, sell their souls, and become demon possessors.

“What about Yang Ji-sang?”

“He is now collecting an overflow of wraiths. He said that if we keep going like this, we will soon be able to control the captive names.”

“Yes, I understand. I will go up soon.”

“Yes!”

The young believer nodded and went out of the gospel room.

“Haa… I’m tired.”

Daniel Park had been having the same dream about three days ago.

It was a nightmare of shimmering darkness and a monster with wriggling tentacles coming to catch him.

In that nightmare, his army was reduced to ashes and he himself died in terrible agony.

After days of the same dream, he realized that it was not just a dream.

It was a kind of precognitive dream. It is a warning of the coming end.

Even yesterday the anomaly happened.

One possessed demon who went out to search for survivors did not return.

I quickly sent three more demon possessors, but they didn’t come back either.

Yang Ji-sang, a demon sorcerer, said that all the zombies possessed by his demons had died.

Daniel Park sensed that there was something strange in the neighborhood next to him.

In the end, in order to relieve anxiety, he withdrew his original plan to gradually increase the number of possessed demons and made an unreasonably large number of possessed demons.

To be able to resist whatever comes.

“I have to go see it soon. Everyone stay calm.”

It was the moment he came out of the Gospel Room to turn the fallen people who would have survived drinking the Precious Blood into possessed chairs.

Kugoong!!!

The building shook with the sound of something exploding.

“No way..!”

Kwagwawang!!!

Koo Goo Goo!!!

It wasn’t until two more explosions rang out in succession that Daniel Park realized that this place was being attacked.

Something broke inside. Even with a bomb.

‘I heard that modern firearms have ended… Then is that a skill?’

Daniel hurriedly ran up the remaining stairs and climbed up.

I felt an ominous feeling that was difficult to describe.

An ominous, uneasy, and a bit fearful feeling that he might have come looking for him while dealing with the filthy tentacles and darkness he had seen in his nightmares.

‘What the hell is this?’

Apparently, zombies possessed by the Awakened members of the Central Committee, possessed by demons, and demons of the Yangji were roaming around the church building.

So, if someone had approached, Yang Ji-sang would have noticed it faster than anyone else.

“That’s…!”

A fire was burning in the executive conference room where the Awakeners were gathered.

Also, all the windows on the 4th floor of the main building where Yang Ji-sang was hiding were all blown out.

“Hey!”

“Ah!! Holy saint!!!”

Daniel Park caught the Awakener belonging to the Central Association who was running to the place where the fire was rising.

“What! What the hell is this!”

“I do not know!! Suddenly, the side of the executive room exploded… I’m not sure of any traces of someone breaking in… From what I checked at the entrance, all the people who entered were Awoken from the Central Association..!”

“Gee… Crazy. Then what the hell is for…”

Daniel hurriedly tried to go down to the gospel room again. It’s dangerous to be alone when you don’t know what attacked you. Even Moon Geun-oh and Yang Ji-sang may have already died.

If that’s the case, they should come up with those who have signed a contract with the higher demons, who are currently at the highest level and faithfully follow only their orders.

Daniel judged that if the four demon possessors greedy for human flesh in the gospel room, the current level 15 Awakener would be able to die easily.

“Holy Son!!!”

As he hurried down the stairs, someone ran up to him.

He was one of the Central Committee’s executives whose name was unknown, but his face was known.

Thinking he was approaching because he had something to tell him, Daniel paused.

However, there was a firecracker in the hand of the running executive.

Lit firecrackers.

“Hey! What are you holding in your hand–“

Tukkwaaaaang!!!!

The man running towards him exploded in an instant, and Daniel was caught up in the explosion as well.

In the aftermath, the building cracked and was thrown out, half of Demonist’s face was burned, and the iron bar of the smashed stair railing was stuck in his back and came out through his stomach.

“Kwaaaaa”

He screamed in pain. It was a terrible pain he had never felt before. The burning pain of a burning body was a pain that was difficult to describe.

“OMG!! Aaaaa!!! Shit!!!”

Daniel had no choice.

He never intended to bring demons into his body, but at this rate he himself would die.

“Damn it… Mr. Forneus… Power… Power..!!!”

Soon, demons inhabit his body.

The burned skin was covered with blue scales, and the pupils of the eyes changed to those of a reptile.

It also grew a long tail and could feel something. It was a being with a heterogeneous aura. Perhaps realizing that he was an intruder, Daniel pulled out an iron bar from the boat and threw it. Then he called the four possessed men in the underground gospel room to kill the intruders.

And about that time, a dozen men and women sneaked into the noisy church.

Taking advantage of the commotion, they quickly entered the underground parking lot.

Of course, those who are hiding are Jang Jo-jun and his companions.

“These bastards lived so peacefully. It’s too easy to get into.”

“Someone was struggling to death because of the zombie wave… I don’t think I’ve ever been attacked here. There aren’t many guards…”

As expected, this place had never been properly attacked by zombies.

Strangely, there were just a lot of zombies in the place where the aim was.

Even the fact that there would be a lot of demon possessors, Moon Geun-oh, who was unaware of the fact, called the executives together and had a drinking party, which made things easier.

“I didn’t expect the firework to be this powerful.”

“I know. Didn’t you just want to cause a commotion?”

At Kang Hee-sun’s question, Jo Joon nodded his head.

“That’s right… At this rate, I think everyone would be dead.”

They scoured the streets and made slaves of all the Awakeners belonging to the Central Association that they barely found.

In the meantime, they did not kill the zombies they were carrying. It was because if he did, he might get caught by the Awakener controlling the zombies.

Anyway, Jo Jun wiped out the Zhang Quen Corps in the back world where he had been looking for a way out of the black market to the Awakeners belonging to the captured central society, and handed over the remaining firecrackers to the captive slaves.

Since the firecrackers containing the dragon’s breath were already used, the remaining 4 were, of course, for self-destruction.

Joon ordered them to receive firecrackers.

Each of them go to the executive office, the leader, the demon mage, and the demonist and blow them up.

I had no idea how powerful the firecrackers would be, so I was just going to take advantage of the commotion to get inside more easily, but somehow it turned out to be a complete suicide bombing.

That made things easier. The first thing that exploded was where Yang Ji-sang was, and thanks to Moon Geun-oh drinking in the executive office, there were two firecrackers that exploded in succession, killing most of the people inside.

“Then let’s go in and eat the rest of them.”

“Yes!”

The moment Jo Joon and his party were about to climb up to the top of the underground parking lot.

Kuwagwang!!!!

The entrance to the stairs leading to the ground exploded, and five monsters walked down.

“Damn them… You guys..”

It was the demonist Park Daniel and the four possessed demons who had already become demons.
