Chapter 438 – The Devils

In the end, I could n’t even shout a single word because of Elise’s fierce defense of her.

I should have been preparing from the beginning, but I really didn’t expect that Elise would appear, so the player was taken away.

From now on, let’s keep vigilance at all times.

No, looking at Elise, shivering like this is one of the joys of life, but not being able to do that seemed like the real internal organs were twisted.

“I am happy and troubled at the same time because you always show great joy.”
“I’m in trouble too, really—”
“If you pretend to say so and try to yell again, I will confiscate the scream bag.”
“—-Heo-eok!”

That’s not okay

Anyway, seeing Elise made me feel extraordinarily happy.

Aren’t you my true Divine-Friend? But, does this appearance mean that something evil has intervened in this imp situation?

“Yes, Elise. Anyway, I’m fucking glad. You know? My heart? I was supposed to be so happy that I screamed and screamed, but I didn’t because you told me not to.”
“Of course I know. And I’m very glad to see you too.”

I stretched out my arms with determination.

“You don’t have to express it in a raucous way.”
“—-The feeling has already been transmitted, is that it?”

Elise also stretched out her arms and made a cross for her.

“Exactly.”

There was no yelling at the process, but it was enough to convey each other’s pleasure and joy. It was that kind of feeling that was transmitted from their joined arms.

“For the sake of justice, to punish all evil that has come into this world.”
“To serve endlessly and descend paradise.”
“This Kimkat will gladly throw himself.”
“We will crush all the evil groups we encounter.”
“Divine.”
“Friend.”

ㅡPay!

The rising emotions from the inside were not just gladness and joy.

By meeting Elise, a true religious figure of this era, a sense of justice and duty similar to hers also slowly blossomed.

The doctrine of the Kwangmyeong Star Cross Society has something in common with the true doctrine of fusion Confucianism.

This was the resonance.

Hehe, so Elise. What are you here for today?”
“I was going to tell you that very story. As the saints who react sensitively to evil already know, I was assigned a mission to investigate a mass outbreak of imps, and I was dispatched to Isvan again.”

As expected, something sinister had intervened this time. That’s why she sent Elise away from the Gwangmyeong Holy Cross Society who smelled it.

“I see… I was just about to do something similar!”
“As expected, the saints were preparing too!”

Elise brought her hands together, her eyes shining. Her eyes are really bright

Of course, I’m the kind of person who can’t just let things go.

“Who am I?
“This, how devout !!! That’s right! As expected, the saint is truly a righteous person! His unchanging appearance His is truly devout!!”
“Yes! That’s right! Anyway, have you had breakfast?”
“I didn’t eat!”

I immediately grabbed Elise and went into a nearby restaurant.

You have to listen to the story anyway.

She tried to talk to Bondi Copson, but now that Elise appeared, she felt better.

If you move with Elise, you will be able to crush the evil beings as well as the progress of the investigation, and above all, the probability of obtaining valuable treasures increases.

Winia said that money would not work, but she said there is nothing more profitable than establishing justice. Objects or body parts possessed by evil beings are sold at high prices.

As soon as she entered the restaurant, she ordered a hearty meat-based menu and got down to business.

“Elise. Is there a cause or something that the church is predicting about this imp crisis?
“That’s it. As expected, your ability to organize the case is excellent. First of all, I think I should ask you a question. Do you know what kind of monster an imp is?”

Elise asked me about imps.

I’ve seen it and killed it, but I don’t know exactly what kind of existence it is.

“It’s just a monster. It’s also evil… Some say it came from hell or from the underworld. Unfortunately, I don’t really know. That’s all I know.”
“That would be the common opinion. But in our church, we are proud to have identified the origins of this imp.”

As expected, since it was a specialized church, it seemed that they were constantly researching evil monsters.

“Explain.”

Knowing your enemies allows you to kill more enemies.

It seems that such a reasonable idea is transmitted.

“However, it is not confirmed. The extent to which our church has directly researched and confirmed it is not to be taken as definitive information.”
“It’s just not 100% accurate, is it?”
“That’s right.”
“I’m researching something, of course.”

While adding that it was not 100% certain as it was being researched by the church, Elise began to explain the imp.

“…Imps are beings from Hell.”
“What, what! Hell!”

Hell!

Since God is a real world, there are gods and demons. After all, it seems that heaven, paradise, and hell exist as well… I don’t know exactly.

Where do humans go after death?

There is a saying that you go to the side of the god of the religion you believe in, and there is also a saying that you will disappear. Some claim to be reincarnated, but the truth is unknown because it is impossible to revive the dead.

The views of religious people were the former.

Going to the side of the god they believe in is a common idea in this polytheistic world.

Of course, there is a saying that those who sin against the doctrine go to hell, but I am not a religious person so I can’t say anything about this.

“As you know, the hell that has been identified so far. In other words, this is Pandaemonium and Hell, the real hells that are commonly dealt with by the 17 officially recognized religions in the Holy Kingdom. And Abyss and Infernal. That is what it means.”

I don’t know if this is far-fetched bullshit, but Elise began to explain.

“Our church speculates that imps are among them beings that flowed from a hell called Pandemonium.”
“Yeah, that’s right. I thought that’s what those bastards look like, just looking at them.”
“As expected, perhaps because of his godly thinking of him, he knows how to see straight through to the core. It’s really amazing.”

I wasn’t sure what it meant, so I just agreed, but Elise ended up with a ridiculous misunderstanding. It is so difficult that I do not know the religion of another world, God, or hell.

All I know is fusion Confucianism.

“Imps are small demons from Pandaemonium, but they are too weak to be called demons, so they are not actually included in demons.”

It also seems to be a bitch.

But can those fuckers come over here from hell?

“What kind of ability do those guys have to come from hell to the real world?”
“It hasn’t been confirmed with certainty, but I’m guessing that it comes in large numbers when the gate connecting Pandaemonium and reality opens.”
“Gate!”
“In fact, since the Church has records of such observations, it is safe to say that this is true.”

I screamed in surprise.

Are you saying demons were coming through the gate!

It was for this reason, too, that the world was full of wickedness. The demons were constantly invading and sowing the seeds of evil!

Shocked, I racked my brains and asked for an explanation, and the food I ordered came out.

We even talked while eating.

“It’s a pretty horrific story, but those gates themselves pop up sporadically around the world.”
“Oh, it can’t be!”
“Evil demon summoners sometimes open it directly, sometimes it opens naturally, and most of all, demons open the gate themselves, so invasions from the outside world are constantly happening.”

What we believed was not the only reality.

I almost had a seizure due to the shock, but I calmed down after listening to Elise’s explanation.

“But rest assured. Each church always sends an expedition to exterminate these demons.”
“Sifal, I’m glad that’s the case. But can you win?”

No matter how many crusaders and paladins payoen, no. They are mortal humans with clear limits even though they are fucking ugly.

There won’t be an easy victory against the demons.

“Of course we can win. If we were defeated, the history of mankind would have ended when the Idol War broke out. The demons that crossed over in that way can’t use all of their power, so we can annihilate them enough. “
“That’s right. I didn’t know that… It’s amazing.”

In other words, it was a story that the demons were weakened even if they invaded, and that the paladins of religion everywhere were slaughter them whenever they appeared.

It was thanks to the uncompromising service and dedication of religious people who could be considered a little psycho that this world has not yet become hell.

In fact, it might seem a little abnormal since it has the purpose of the world’s well-being.

Let’s say thanks to them.

“By turning the story around, the imps appeared in large numbers.”
“Maybe a gate to hell has appeared, is that the story?”
“I can’t say it’s the right answer, but our church doubts it.”

Upon hearing my words, Elise drank the water with a rather serious expression.

To sum it up, the fact that there were a large number of imps means that there is a possibility that a gate connecting hell and reality called Pandaemonium appeared.

Therefore, according to their own judgment, the Society of the Light and Star Cross assigned Elise the mission of investigation to uncover the truth.

If Elise, who received the mission, collects the correct information and says that the gate is not open, it will just end in an incident.

Elise really has a lot to do.

No, but if you’re going to do an investigation like that, you’d better do it with a few proper crusaders rather than a more proper serial killer.

Is this also part of the paladin training I was talking about the other day?

“Elise. You came here to help me investigate, right?”
“Exactly.”
“Don’t worry! I will step in and help the world’s well-being! Let’s work together and dig out the truth! Demons might appear around here, because I absolutely can’t accept that!”

If you help Elise with her investigations her, you’ll end up with hundreds of beans.

Demon Gate seems a little dangerous, but if it’s okay with Elise’s judgment, there’s no problem.

Above all, with Elise and I, it would be impossible to escape in any dangerous situation.

“Oh, oh oh! What a brilliant resolution! Thank you so much, saint! I certainly had no doubt that you would help me!”
“I also had no doubts that you, Elise, would devote yourself to something like this.”

ㅡBeat!

After eating, we got up and went outside.

It is still only morning.

Let’s start investigating right away.

“But I’ve seen imps running around and fussing around as usual. Is the gate open too?”
“They are probably imps that have appeared before. Since they come out in large numbers, they must be surviving by merging into the natural environment each time.”
“Hmm… Is that so?”

It seems that they appear out of nowhere and spread out here and there as they roam freely. I immediately headed towards the eastern gate with Elise.
