Chapter 212 – For Elise

The sorrow of losing a family member.

I couldn’t comprehend the weight of it.

If I had to question it, would the days when I lived a painful life after being stuck in a different world be the most similar type of sadness? Leaning against the wall, she and Elise waited for Lina’s cries to stop.

“…It’s a pity. But since you’ve set foot in paganism, this will be nothing short of predestined ruin. Therefore, you need to root out the evil beings. They are the villains who cause human destruction and sorrow. “

Unlike me who was saddened by the tragedy, Elise was very calm.

Firm faith and unshakable faith. To Elise, this would seem like a just execution of justice rather than a tragedy of a slum girl.

I too have a similar idea.
However, I couldn’t help but feel the sadness.

“…Is it.”
“That’s right. Digging into people’s weak hearts and leading them to true destruction. It’s a very typical tactic, and that’s how evil it is. Saints, the moment is urgent. We must destroy all the heretics who have settled here to break the chain of tragedy. I can.”
“…Okay.”

Damn heretics.

It’s not enough to take all of their property now. It is right to kill them all for love and justice. My teeth trembled at their insolence and a burning hatred soared.

“I guess so.”

A pagan who makes a child weep.
It is right to kill them all.

It is not to be forgiven for the remnants that cut out the heart.

“This chain of tragedies… Must be broken.”

What suits a child is laughter, not tears.

My fists trembled.

Even though Lina had a previous conviction for stealing my money and tried to kill me by calling thugs, the grudge against it had already been settled before an unimaginably large alimony of 10 silver.

Even if a bit of a fucking heart remains, Lina is still a child. As an adult, I forgave all my sins at that time by receiving alimony. Because 10 silver was well worth it.

So, the relationship between me and Lina is just that of an adult and a child.
Plasmainas is zero.

So Lina could sympathize with her sorrow.

No matter how much this world is like fucking garbage, the children who live there do not have to live like garbage. I don’t think I can ever forgive the heretics who caused Lina’s sorrow…

Ssapmacho Kim Cut.
Never leave such beings behind.

I am the child’s guardian.

“Huhhhhh!”

How long has it been

A sobbing Lina came out of her room, rubbing her eyes with the back of her hand. It felt as if the sadness flowing from the little girl’s body had filled the world.

When asked if she had packed any belongings, she replied that she had nothing to pack. It was now impossible for Lina to even remember her grandmother her. She said as she made eye contact with Lina, who kept trying to pour out her tears while remaining infinitely smaller.

“… Her grandmother’s love for you. It’s a memento.”

Even if it’s a clumsy consolation, Lina will desperately need it now.

“…”
“The last thing I heard was that her grandmother loved you. So… Live strong. Go alone like a rhinoceros horn. No matter how fucked up the world is, how fucked up it is. We must live. You need to stay and live that life.”

Lina bit her lip and wiped away the endless tears. Could my heart have been conveyed a little? I added a few words to comfort Lina.

“There is a purgatory in this world.”

This and that world.
And purgatory.

“People who have lived their lives die and go to the underworld.”

Elise stared at my face, but this should be fine. For the grieving girl, a personal trust may be handed over.

“But the hearts of those who have let go of the dead and are left alone in this world… Yes. That is purgatory. It is painful, terribly sad, and even though it is alive, it is not alive.”

Purgatory is the place where people who have fallen into sorrow live. I can’t get out. Can’t get over the sadness So I live because I can’t die.

That is why it is purgatory.

“Living in such a purgatory… Would be really hard. But.”

I grabbed Lina’s shoulder her.

“—Live.”

Have to live
You must separate yourself from the dead.

The dead are dead, and the living are alive. The living should never be taken away by the dead.

“Humans.”

Lina looked into my eyes.

“Because you can’t live in Purgatory.”
“Huh…!”

A face messed with tears.

It is very heartbreaking to see a child’s face distorted in this way. On Lina’s face, I superimposed the children dying of starvation and water-borne diseases in the Third World.

“So, I’m still living.”

Children who could not be saved with the support of UNICEF alone.
Children who died in harsh environments and harsh hard labor.

There was nothing I could do.

“You won’t be able to overcome your sadness. You won’t be able to forget the person you miss forever either. It’s natural.

But, at least if it was Lina in front of me.
I can tell you my thoughts and words.

“Is that really what the person who left first wanted?”
“…Huhh! Huhhh!”

Lina burst into tears again and hugged me.

Cry.

Cry, soothe the sorrow,
Requiem the souls of the dead

For now, she is my little sister. Good night. You can overcome Didn’t even I survive living in another world? If you are my little sister like that, it is clear that you will be able to overcome enough.

Ah, Requiem.
Tears that mourn the dead.

Lina, who had wet my pauldron, seemed to have calmed down and fell away from me.
Tell her that

“Revenge.”
“Revenge…?”
“Yes. You must get your revenge on the evil cultists who made your grandmother like that.”

Revenge will be the driving force of life.

If it were me, I would never forgive those who turned my grandmother into a ghoul. I will chase you to the end of hell and kill them all to get my revenge. If it is difficult to overcome sadness, you can infuse other emotions as a substitute.

The child is weak
If a grandmother like your parents died, she would be more likely to collapse.

If so, it is necessary to plant the spark of revenge in the heart, to harden the heart that is about to collapse.

“Eat your heart. I’ll go deeper from now on.”

To a deeper place.

To the other side of the abyss-like subterranean where the cultists spew evil breaths and practice iniquity. We go there

All to break the chain of sorrow.

All to punish Lina’s enemies, the heretics.

“We need to root out the wicked so that no more of these children will suffer. So follow me. Follow me and see their deaths. If that’s the case, your grandmother will be happy too.”

When I said it in a strong tone, Lina’s eyes changed.
Rina, who wiped away her tears again, nodded her head resolutely.

“…I know.”
“Elise, let’s go. I can’t stand this rage any longer. I have to tell you right away… That even the gods hate them!”

I conveyed that to Elise with anger.

“In this land where humans live, we must erase uncleanness and wickedness. Let’s go deeper. Let’s start a temple dedicated to God. We must show them the wrath of God…! The wrath of justice!”

Aaaaa!!! As I roared, Elise started to roar as well. Fighting spirit resonated and the world overflowed with emotion.

“Of course, of course! Ah, saint! How can you be the owner of such a pious heart…! If you are with the saint, it feels like there is no ordeal that you cannot overcome! Alright! I’m going, to the other side of the underground!”
“—-Divine.”

I stretched out my arms.

“—-Friend.”

Elise stretched out her arms and made her cross.
The Divine Cross that destroys evil.

Today I am Holly Avenger Kim Katt.

“I’m leaving…!”

With firm faith, let’s set the justice of this land right away.
He took a step without hesitation and raised his sword.

“I will dedicate this temple to the Lord of Order.”
“Ah, long live Young master, long live Hwanung. In the name of King David and Buddha, we will purify the group of heretics hiding in darkness.”
“God’s mace to the cultists.”
“The truth that justice lives.”

—-Ahhhhh…!
ㅡQuayiik!!!
ㅡKuuuuuk…!

“The profane world will be protected under the name of the Wheel-turning King.”
“Watch the grace bestowed by God, the wicked one.”

From the other side, a horde of twisted ghouls crawled.

I stepped in front of Lina with Elise. Those hideous undead crawling on walls and ceilings must be monsters cursed by God.

We will never be defeated by such beings.

ㅡParts suit.

At the same time as the prayer was recited, the surroundings lit up with brilliant brilliance, and divine light soared from the blade. As the light dispelled the purple darkness, the cellar was bathed in holy light.

Blazing blade and mace as divinity.
With blades forged with human power, I will punish evil beings.

ㅡQueeeee
ㅡ Heya Ahhhhh!

“Revenge.”
“Punishment.”

The ghouls flew in.

She was smaller than the ghoul grandmother from before, and her speed her seemed remarkably slow. Even if they were monsters that transcended common sense, in the end they were just savage monsters who attacked with their bare bodies.

My distance with a weapon called ‘sword’ is absolutely superior.

Keep an eye on the flying creature and stab it calmly. My sword is longer than his arm. No matter what I do, I am the one who takes the lead.

“Guduryong Island.”

Ghouls are quite strong monsters. However, now that the strengthened strength and the power of the Holy Enchantment were combined, they were just bugs.

ㅡPoo-wook!

As it was, I inserted the knife between the ghoul’s collarbones, twisted it and pulled it to rip off half of its neck her. ㅡQueek! As Elise swung her mace, her breath was cut off at once. She draws her sword and attacks the next one again.

“Come on, Undead.”

With Elise, there is nothing to be afraid of.

ㅡQueueek!!

Ghouls from unknown sources attacked endlessly, and I became one with Elise and killed all the attackers. Hatred suffocated by burning anger and vengeance was not something an undead like this could handle.

Extremely trained swordsmanship and a strengthened body.
And Elise’s buff.

With these three things in one place, I was truly a heavenly horse. The ten ghouls fell, trampling on all of their corpses. The bloated desire to plunder stirred my brain. Kill them all, and take away all that you have achieved.

Not a single trace of heresy will remain.

When the eleventh ghoul was slaughtered, no more appeared. The urge to run wild excites us.

“Saints. I will continue to move on.”
“The road we are going on will soon become a pilgrimage road.”

Their lair was long.

At first, it was a basement that looked like it had been made with great care, but the more I went, the more it turned into something like a crypt. Did you expand from here? It feels like an abandoned mine… When the passage finally ends.

The underground truth is revealed.

“Eh, fuck.”
“This is…”

ㅡUnder there.

Down there in the vast expanse, cultists and ghouls were digging a tunnel of some kind. Robed priests supervised the ghouls as if their souls had escaped, and the ghouls dug tunnels on command.

The purple light that was illuminating the underground was radiating extremely intensely, as if it had come from somewhere here.

We sat down and watched it.

“Those red bastards! Where did they dig a tunnel and fall…!”

As a patriot, I was furious at the word ‘tunnel’ and struggled with pain as if my internal organs were twisted. These rednecks! Dare to dig a tunnel!

You must kill them all!

However, the number of enemies seems quite large.

“…Saints?”
“Hmm? Why?”
“Look over there.”

Elise pointed the other way with her mace. Did you even find something? I moved my gaze along the mace, and what was there—

— Altar.
ㅡ Trophy.

On top of the wicked altar, a black trophy was placed like a common altar. A cup-shaped trophy. Purple light was emanating from it.

“Joe, damn…”

Does it look expensive?
