Chapter 487 – Killing Demons

ㅡPoo-wook!

ㅡPoo-wook!

“Kurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr0rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr0000’s!”

After placing the blade close to 200 times, the demon completely melted away. No existence can withstand such a tsunami of brutal violence.

The madness disappeared as the demon disappeared, and only black blood was left at the site.

“Long live Verdenim!!!!”
“I will dedicate this victory to the heavenly scales!!!”
“Waaaaa!!!”

Religious people who smiled and shook hands before departure were not here. They were just real warriors caught up in violence.

The voices of prayers and shouts rang out loudly.

“Wow! Park Guardian, no! The Birth of the Libra Guardian!”

I too shouted with joy.

The violence they showed was literally pure hatred itself. People should be able to hate like that innocently. An extreme murderous intent that does not compromise with anything. That’s what made them strong.

Pure violence was, therefore, so inhuman.

When there is a clear enemy, a person becomes cruel.

Haha! What! How do you not like it! This is the new execution rule! If you subdue the devil, all the church members in the field will share in the joy of the punishment! Of course, only when you can afford it!”

As I was delighted, Barcharell smiled cheerfully and patted me on the shoulder.

It seems that he believes that he showed something truly good, but in reality, he was right. Because there is no one to blame even if the whole family of devils are executed by stringing them together with sausages.

“It’s cool? Firm faith adds to the sharpness of the blade. Katt, did you see it well?”

Cloudy was also quite satisfied.

“I’ve seen them very well. They’re people with a lot to learn from.”
“Huhuhu, as expected, it’s cool that you always want to learn when you see something good, Kat.”

Claudy put her arm around my waist, elated by the brutal lynching.

With that said, the priests received all the demon’s blood in the barrels they had brought. Their backpacks contained a lot of water bottles.

“Well, they are reliable people. They seem to be good people.”
“Yeah. Who else would you trust but a religious person?”

Winia seems to be worried now.

Anyone can stretch their feet and sleep if they know that people with such savage violence are on their side.

“Then let’s set off again! What a start! Verde must have blessed us! Brothers, remember! The heavenly gods are always watching over us, long live Verde!”
“Long live Verde!”
“Long live Verde!”

The fact that the unfortunate demon was chewed up and rummaged greatly boosted the morale of the search party. So we started our journey again.

Open the map and look around to find your way.

We walked for a while, and when a monster appeared in the middle, we simply broke it, and when it was time for a break, we sat around to eat and talked about justice.

“That’s right! What was there was the remnants of bandits who worshiped the evil god Ezath! No one could stand it when they saw it! They immediately killed them all along with the righteous adventurers and Sister Elise of the Light and Star Cross! I screamed in agony until that moment!”

The atmosphere was ripe, and I brought up the story of the bandit subjugation case that I had received the order the other day. Paladins and priests clapped their hands while focusing on my story.

“No, that’s right! You’ve done a really righteous thing!”
“The Church of the Light and Star Cross… They are also capable colleagues! Although there may be differences in the gods and doctrines they worship, the ultimate goal of punishing evil beings is the same!”
“This is this! You’re continuing the temple even in a place where no one else can see!”

ㅡWahhaha!

As a religious person, I really liked this kind of murderous story. Immediately, a flower of laughter bloomed, and a sense of comradeship sprouted. They also unraveled a bundle of stories that I could relate to.

For judging an infidel, for personally executing a death row inmate in the city, for cutting up a band of bandits he encountered along the way.

No matter how righteous and fainting a person is, if he practices inhuman discipline and harsh doctrine, stress will inevitably build up.

Religious people on this side vent the stress from such an ascetic life by crushing evil beings. You can tell by looking at them smiling happily as they talk.

Perhaps, even though they are evil beings, there may be religious people who are reluctant to kill humans.

Such people would be greatly stressed by committing murder.

However, in the end, the fundamental way to relieve that stress was also murder. That’s why they relieve the stress they received from murder by murder. It was a series of cruel vicious cycles, but in the age of savagery, mercy and love were not the highest priority, even if they were important values.

Only true violence and righteous hatred can punish evil and benefit the world.

Those who run away because they do not want to do something they do not want to do cannot become paladins. So they fix the direction of life while getting stuck in religion. Killing the wicked was a way of life and a means to prove one’s faith.

ㅡA world full of wicked people.

I will punish evil with the will of Hongik Ingan.

“No way! There is no need to look after the circumstances of the bandits! They say that they became bandits because their lives were difficult, but they are the ones who kill, rape, and sell other people into slavery! They must all be killed!”
Hehe! You’re right!”

Somehow the story ended up being about human hunting, not demon hunting. It was only natural that I, who was the first one to speak up, talked about it.

After finishing our meal, we set off again.

There is still a long way to go.

If you walk diligently, you will arrive around tomorrow afternoon.

“Bastard. I always think, a bastard can be a paladin. What have you become friends with already? I can’t believe it’s the same religion.”

Winia said as if she was dumbfounded.

It was easy to get along with, obviously, because they had a lot of stories and ideas to share. Surprisingly, I seem to have a personality that is easy to get along with religious people.

“Am I a paladin?”

But I’m already half a paladin. What I carry on my shoulders. Because it was fusion Confucianism.

“Katt is a paladin, so that would be cool too. Katt wearing the armor of a paladin would be fine too?”
Hehe, if this goes well, I might give you an armor set. But if you’re a paladin, you’ll have to stay in the church.”
“Oh my, that doesn’t work.”

As we continued our march, the sun began to set before we knew it.

Looking at the location, it seemed that we could arrive at our destination on time. The move itself is smooth.

“I’ll set a night watch!”

I went there to set the order right away, but the paladins were considerate, saying that we are guests and guides, so don’t worry and rest well. They are good people too. If you are considerate, I will be grateful.

Immediately after using tree branches and mantles to prepare for camp, the three went in and slept.

*         *

“I think they’ll arrive soon. We’ll have to be extremely careful from now on.”

Soon the march was over. If I moved a little bit, I would have arrived at the place Hildegard had marked. Looking at the map, I’m sure.

ㅡ sound issue.

There was also an illusion that I felt a gloomy aura somewhere.

Fuck that’s so sleazy

Suddenly, I thought that Hildegard, who had been chasing me, might jump out of nowhere, but it was nonsense.

He is a vigilant succubus.

Anyway, whether or not this is her trap her will soon be revealed. To be honest, it would be really difficult if he couldn’t find anything because he had a dog. Because of that, there are things that I deliberately did to get closer to each other.

“Umm… I definitely feel like I can feel the ominous energy. I haven’t seen any monsters since dawn until now.”

Barcharell’s eyes were colder than ever. I looked at the map with him, specifying his direction.

“I’m sure it’s somewhere around here. I just ran away and didn’t take a good look around, but the atmosphere around here seems to be similar.”
“Okay. If you search, you’ll find it soon.”

However, it would be very difficult if strong demons unexpectedly appeared at the gate. However, no matter how strong the devil appears, with 12 of us, it is possible to retreat without damage.

No matter what anyone says, the people here are pros in combat who have already gone through all the battles.

“Even if we find the demons, if it seems impossible to achieve victory, we will retreat. Keep that in mind. It would certainly be right to fight to the death with a sense of justice and a fighting spirit, but our purpose today is to fight fiercely. It’s not.”
“I know very well. You shouldn’t go wrong with the purpose of martyrdom. If you live long enough, you can punish more wicked people.”
“That’s it. As expected… Aren’t you interested in being a paladin?”
Hehe, unfortunately, there is a national religion. Thank you for your words.”
“It’s really unfortunate. If it wasn’t for Mirkesha, it would have been easy to evangelize.”

ㅡsssss.

We stood guard in all directions as we walked together without falling apart. The paladin’s sixth sense, which reacts sensitively to the extremely sharpened senses and evil energy, turned our search party into something like a radar center.

They rolled their eyes as if they sensed the presence of flying birds and crawling insects. I feel a stricter order than anything else. Religious people pour out violence when they pour out, but in other situations, they are intellectuals who are cold-hearted.

Religious people usually receive a lot of education.

ㅡ Jerking and bucking.

It was a forest that had already entered autumn, but the plants here were still luxuriant because of their strong vitality. The sparsely visible autumn leaves were beautiful, but now I have no time to pay attention to them.

It was time to move again after taking a break after searching for nearly an hour.

“Show me the map for a moment.”

He pulled out a map and handed it to Barcharell. After examining the map carefully, he decided on a direction.

“Let’s go this way. Rather than moving randomly, I think we should go with the feeling of looking at the entire area.”
“You are right.”

I don’t need any guidance any more. Because this was no different than a destination. I also slowly drew my sword and moved.

ㅡPay!

At that time, the priest who was climbing the hill in front of him, lying on his back, raised his hand and lowered his body.

“…!”

Completion signal!

It seemed that he had found something over the hill. The search party immediately clung to the hill, careful not to make a sound. We escorted the search party from below.

There may be demons nearby.

Before long, Barkerel, who had climbed all the hills, beckoned us urgently. It also seems to have found something. The search party climbed the hill, each hiding behind a tree.

Anyway, Cloudy went up first, and I dragged Winia up slowly. That was when it all went up.

ㅡ go oh…

“Oh, fuck.”

Looking across the hill, I stopped breathing.

“…Turn it down. I guess that was the epicenter of the ominous energy the brothers felt.”

What was there was a black gate the size of a gate.

ㅡA gate floating in the air.

It was spinning like a black hole, and black energy was pouring out from there.

“I’m going to go to the middle of the day!!!”
Hehe!”
“Human world, human world!!!!!”

ㅡ oh oh oh!
ㅡKrererererererek!!!!

It wasn’t just the gate.

Not only imps, but also small demons and high imps were coming out of the gate every minute. The demons that escaped spread their arms toward the sun, roared, and then began to go farther and farther away.

—-The information Hildegard gave was the truth.

Even all of them are small in size. The information said to be used by the jesters who do not have the ability to open the gate on their own also seemed to be accurate.

I’m sure you’ll get a reward.

“…That’s the gate.”
“Hell’s Gate…”

Cloudy and Winia also stared at it while hiding.

“…Demons are coming over. Oh, Verdesi. How can this happen in the real world?”

Barcharell’s face was unusually shocked.

“Do you think annihilation is possible?”
“…”

After being silent for a moment at my question, he managed to open his mouth.

“To be honest, I don’t know. Attacking and closing the gate would certainly be a good way. If we go back here and organize a subjugation force again, more demons will come over, and maybe the Demon Gate we found will disappear. Let’s talk.”

If it was the Gwangmyeong Star Cross Society, he would have rushed without hesitation, but he began to make a decision while thinking deeply.

“But… This will take some time to think about. It’s the first time in my life as a paladin to see such a clear Demon Gate. For now, I’ll try to gather information through reconnaissance.”
“Okay. I’ll help too.”
“Thank you very much.”

We went down the hillside and regrouped.

“Verde… Please give me your blessing…”

The search party prayed a little.
