Chapter 81 – Zombie Parade

The Society of the Light and Star Cross was a religious organization with a very violent tendency to serve the god of order, Eisermart. They were fanatical crusaders with a grand mission to slay evil monsters and send their souls to their gods to purify the world and bring paradise.

It is only natural that such lunatics take part in this maddening feast. Elise approached, put her luggage on the ground, and greeted her.

“Seeing that we see each other so often, I feel a great connection.”

Seeing things like weapons protruding from between the bundles, it seemed that they were probably sponsored items for the festival from the Gwangmyeongseong House Association. Indeed, like religious thugs, they seemed to be extremely bloody weapons. I love it.

“But who’s behind you?”

Elise casts a questioning glance at Cloudy.

“Oh, this is my lover. Cloudy, this is Elise, my friend.”

I briefly introduced Cloudy as my lover. Elise shook Claudy’s hand with her characteristic expressionless face.

“I feel very strong power. Nice to meet you. My name is Elise, a low-ranking nun belonging to the Light and Star Cross.”
“Really? Nice to meet you. I’m Cloudy. Can I call you Elise?”
“You can call it anything you like. But… I can feel the power of another god. Excuse me, do you believe in a separate religion?”
“Hell-Khan. Do you know?”
“I see. I’ve heard of a religion that worships the god of the night sky. Anyway, since he is the lover of a saint, he must be a good person. Thank you for your support.”
“Saints?”

Saints (聖徒) is a word that means a person who walks a holy path, and is usually used when calling believers of any religion.

To be honest, I don’t believe in the religion of the other world, so the words didn’t have much connection, but anyway, I helped Elise twice, so it’s called that. That’s how I explained to Cloudy.

“Ah, I happened to help out with Elise’s church mission. That’s how it came to be called.”
“I see. Hmm… Well, it doesn’t matter. I thought you were hiding something like religion.”
“It can’t be. I’m a man with no secrets.”

The only thing I was hiding from Cloudy was the surprising fact that I was in fact not a foreign barbarian, but an ordinary drifter from another dimension.

Aside from that, my true identity is actually the head of the department… This is a joke.

Cloudy is also hiding her age her from me, so it’s like she’s sexy. To be honest, it made her feel upset about her age her. It doesn’t matter how old she is, just let me know.

Even if she’s over 100, she says she’s confident she won’t mind.
Since he was half-elf, he was able to tolerate that much.

“Do you think Katt Saints are going to purify the undead from now on?”

Elise asked with a tone full of interest. Her tone was uncharacteristically high, with a hint of tension. She was also Elise.

“That’s right. I need to collect talents.”

I guess the dreamlike situation of mass extermination of the undead spurred her destructive desire of her.

However, seeing that she came with a bundle of luggage, it seemed that she came to carry out the purpose of promoting their religion by sponsoring religious products rather than extermination herself. Will she be able to enjoy this festival? It may end while keeping the stalls.

It will be very harsh on her.

“Then please come to us. We’ve brought a lot of nice donated items. We’re sure you’ll be interested.”
“You must.”

Soon enough, the greetings would be over, and we were about to head out.

Then, Elise’s gaze was fixed on the castle gate. It was as if a girl who couldn’t leave the house because of a serious illness looked sadly longing at the children playing outside the window, and I felt extreme fear.

The moment that little religious thug entered the zombie zone, that place was hell.

Quite a few people are bound to get sick of being covered in rotten blood and intestines after fighting zombies, but Elise was able to laugh and enjoy it, but she still had a heart.

“Elise? Do you know someone?”

—Jeolgeureok, Jeolgeureuk.

Just then, a very tall blonde nun approached from behind Elise. For a moment, I was terribly flustered. It was the first time I had ever seen a woman that tall.

Considering that I am 178 cm tall, she seemed to be about the same height as me or about 5 cm taller.

Judging from the crest on her armor, she seems to be a member of the Holy Cross of Light. But is she a nun? Seeing that she is wearing a nun’s uniform and heavy armor, is she a paladin? I do not know.

“Ah, Sister Blaret. This is the Katt Saint I mentioned. He helped me with the mission twice.”
“Is that so?”

A nun called Blalette looked at me.

She was a typical blonde-haired beauty. She had her nun’s robe on the base and over her heavy gloves. At her waist her, she was wearing a sword that looked holy at first glance, which was a contrast to Elise who used a mace.

There is a prejudice that religious people usually use blunt weapons, but it seems that this is not necessarily the case. Looking at the scabbard, it seemed to be a very luxurious sword. Perhaps it is a status symbol.

“Oh, you’re tall. Nice to meet you. My name is Paladin Sera Blaret Akserun, a member of the Light and Star Cross Society.”
“Yes?”

What’s your name?
At that moment, the fucking long name came out and Stern came.

“Sera is my name, Blaret is my baptismal name, and Akserun is my job title. Simply call me Sarah.”

She asked me for a handshake.

“Oh, my name is Kim Katt. No, it’s Katt. Nice to meet you. By the way, are you an Elise boss?”
“It’s similar. My position is higher.”

When she shook her hand, I could see that her grip was quite strong. Shaking her hand she overflowed with energy. These were the hands of an infallible warrior. Since she is a paladin, I think she must be a very strong person.

“I’ve heard a lot about it. I’m grateful for the contributions to the development of our Church of the Light and Starship and the help to Elise.”
“No, well, I did it to make money.”
“By the way, you’re a tall man. Judging by the color of your hair, are you Mirkesha? Excuse me, but your religion…”

The atmosphere gradually became less serious. Sarah tried to ask me about religion, her eyes shining as if she was looking at something interesting.

“Sister Blalette. He has no religion to him.”

Elise intervened and spoke as if defending me.

“Is that so? If so, take this opportunity to join our Light and Holy Cross…”

Despite Elise’s efforts, Sera began to change her religion. I felt like I would fuck myself up if I stood any longer, so I grabbed Claudy’s hand her and dragged her her.

“Haha, I’ll think about that later. For now, I’ll have to purify the zombies. Even at this moment, I wonder if the demonic powers of the undead are reaching the city.”
“Okay. Excuse me. It looks like I disturbed you unintentionally.”
“Ah, not really. Nice to meet you, Amton.”

I don’t know why these guys are so eager to talk about religion when they see me. If you think about it, even when I was in my hometown, people of all kinds of religions would talk to me whenever I went to the main street.

Could it be that such an aura emanated from my body?
When I woke up from the dead, I had no intention of joining a religion.

“Hmm, it’s a Paladin. It looks pretty strong. The Light Star Cross Society? It’s a high level.”

I grabbed Cloudy’s hand and turned it off, and she stopped and looked at Sarah. The eyes of the two women crossed. It would be difficult if a religious war broke out here.

“Then, even the followers of Hel-Khan feel the strong divine aura. It’s been a long time since I’ve met such an ascetic.”

They, too, exchanged greetings and praised their nothingness, then sublimated it into a small talk about religious views. Both of them seemed to have formed a consensus as strong warriors.

With Cloudy suddenly taken away, I joined Elise’s side of her.
Elise grumbled.

“I also want to purify the undead, but this mission is not like that… I was happy to be dispatched, but I didn’t expect it to be dispatched like this.”
“No, how sorry you look.”
“It’s very unfortunate. Of course, it’s good to give this opportunity to the public, but I can’t help but feel personal.”
“Well… Cheer up. Opportunities will come.”
“I hope so.”

Elise looked very depressed because she couldn’t beat the undead. I don’t know how women feel. They must also have violent tendencies inherent in them, befitting people who live in such a world.

“By the way, it has been concluded that the mastermind behind this mass outbreak of undead is a Necromancer who escaped from the dungeon. He It seems like a fairly strong Necromancer. The church is said to be chasing him.
“Oh, then that?”

There was a time when I was trying to chase a necromancer in the ossuary palace Orkota Catacomb, the dungeon I went to last time. After hearing the story, I was really glad I didn’t chase after him. The Skeleton Mage was a piece of cake, but the magician who created it had no law that it was a piece of cake.

By the way, it took too much time. I need to get out soon…
Looking at it, it seemed that the conversation between Claudy and Sarah had ended.

Cloudy seemed to be in a good mood. She smiled and called me.

“Kat, then shall we go?”
“Let’s go out soon.”

Sarah waved her hand at her. I also shook her hand once and said to Elise.

“Elise, when it’s over, I’ll go visit you.”
“…”

Elise had an expression of pity as if she couldn’t bear it. If she’s with her her, her undead her won’t have anything to worry about, but she has her own business her. Too bad she will have another chance.

Then Elise spoke to Sarah.

“Hey, over there, Sister Blalette.”
“Elise? Do you have something to say?”
“That, so…”

It was the first time I had seen Elise hesitate, so I was taken away. She was almost always expressionless, and seeing her like that made me feel fresh. After all, kids of that age should have that taste.

“Are you sure you want to go purify the undead?”
“Something like that…”
“Fufufu, it’s okay if you don’t say anything. Is that so, I understand.”

Sarah cleared her throat and continued.

“Sister Elise. In that case, it’s okay to go for a day or so.”
“Are you sure, Sister Blalette!”

Elise, who had turned into a bright color, shouted with great joy. This was the first time I’d seen her show her emotions in her in that way.

“Of course. It’s the first day anyway. The first day is leisurely, that’s the best. I’d also like to relax a bit from my travels. It’s okay. However, you just need to listen to my request later.”
“Thank you! Sister Blalette!”
“Whoa, whoa, don’t you call me older sister now?”
“…”
“Well, what can I do that I can’t do for the sake of cute Elise? Please go.”

Looking at it like this, the relationship between the two seemed very good. The members of the Kwangmyeong Star Cross Society, which I had heard through rumors, were very ruthless and cruel psychopaths, but after experiencing it myself, they were also ordinary people.

“…Thank you, Sarah.”

Having said that, Elise hugged Sarah. The height difference between her and her is so great that it was totally like watching her baby mother and her.

“Then go and break the heads of the wicked undead and come back. You can enjoy it. Well, I want to taste the brains of the undead, but I’m going to take a little rest today. It’s getting old, so it’s hard after all.”

Sarah patted her on the back of Elise and let out such a lunatic remark. Also, I was right about what I saw. It’s not sane. Her body her trembled

“Kat Saints! Request to accompany you!”

Elise, with a smile on her face, looked back at me and shouted.

“Okay, let’s go with Shiva.”

So we formed a party of three, including me, Cloudy, and Elise, and went outside the city.

Cloudy looked calm as if he was going for a walk. Elise was so excited that she pulled out her mace from the start and started looking around.

I think today’s harvest will be fine.
