Chapter 1526 – 8. The Savior of the Heltant Village.

[A new trait will bloom]

[Power usurpation]

‘Authority… Is it something different from a characteristic?’

I was puzzled.

What Exactly Empowered Means

It was because I couldn’t figure out what was different from the characteristics.

‘There is a list.’

He stretched out his finger and flicked as if scrolling down.

List

– Celestial Wings

You can spread your wings and glide.

ㅁCan fly at high speed.

ㅁHoly and sacred energy flows out.

You can create an atmosphere that looks good.

ㅁYou cannot use the power of God because you do not have faith.

[“Give me my wings! You bastard!” -A wingless angel]

‘…I wonder…Was it like this.’

As you scroll through the list

I was able to guess.

‘To take away the unique ability of a being with a personality.’

The celestial wings on the list were the proof

It was an authority wielded by an angel who had descended to the present world for a moment.

‘…I’m lucky.’

Although he was promoted to Death Knight

Compared to the mythical beings, he was inferior in many ways.

For such a person, the usurpation of authority will provide rapid and rapid growth.

The more you fight against the mythical beings, the stronger you will become.

‘…I also like the authority I got for the first time.’

Celestial wings.

Although he could not wield the power of a god because of his lack of faith, gliding and flying was enough to pay for his meal.

It was possible to glide by temporarily gaining propulsion with Blaze, or to create ice platforms with Cold Soul, but it was impossible to fly freely.

It’s a bit of a disadvantage in air combat.

For such a person, the wings of the heavens were quite a useful power.

As long as you have wings

Air battles can also be carried out without difficulty.

‘How big is it?’

The apostle spread his wings so huge that they covered the entire village.

He was curious to see if he could do it himself.

‘Empowerment’

Shaaaaa

As I concentrated my will, a brilliant light began to radiate from behind.

Chow ah

Soon after, the brilliant light formed the shape of wings.

One pair two pairs three pairs four pairs five pairs

And finally six

A total of 12 holy wings unfolded behind his back and began to emit brilliant light.

‘…I can’t seem to expand it enough to cover the village.’

When he first met

Size was fixed.

Apparently, the expansion of the wings was a phenomenon involving the power of the gods.

‘Well, this should be enough.’

However, it was not the size that was lacking.

If you’re this big, you can glide and fly easily.

‘…Yes?’

At that time, I felt a lot of popularity.

I got out of my thoughts and raised my gaze.

I could see it in that moment.

A large number of people staring at him with blank expressions

They were the residents of Helunt Village who noticed that the fierce battle was over and returned.

“…”

“…”

They took no action.

I just stare at myself as if possessed

‘What?’

I was puzzled.

What the hell is the meaning of that gaze?

The car I was in doubt about

‘…What… What!?’

What the heck is this

“Great man…You saved our village from the army of a false god…”

At that time, the old man in the front spoke slowly.

“If it wasn’t for the savior…We would all be dead.”

“Thank you very much!…Thank you very much.”

“Thank you so much for saving our family… Saving our village!”

“My mother was able to live, all thanks to the Savior.”

“I’m not in pain anymore! I’m not in pain! Thank you, savior!”

“Now Dad’s awake! It’s all thanks to the Savior!”

“Thank you! Thank you! Thank you very much.”

They began to express their gratitude with tears in their eyes.

‘…It’s embarrassing.’

I felt a bit embarrassed.

It was true that he saved his life, but it was because he didn’t want to be thanked like this.

I was just doing my best as a human being

“…I will repay you with faith!…Great Being.”

Dump

At that time, an old man in an old wagon in the front uttered incomprehensible words and immediately knelt down.

Coooooung

And he hit his head without hesitation.

It was an attitude of perfect submission.

‘Yes?!’

Sunwoo widened his eyes.

It was because I was curious.

Is it faith?

What does that mean again

And why is the head all of a sudden stuck?

“I will be a faithful servant of the great God.”

The old man spoke in a voice full of emotion.

“Something is misunderstood…”

Even if I misunderstood something, I felt like I misunderstood firmly.

He himself was not like a god.

As long as there is no deity

It was nothing more than an ordinary Death Knight.

The moment I tried to explain that

“…I believe… My savior…”

“I believe only in you!”

“Ohh~ My God!…You have descended into the world to defeat the army of a false god!”

“I believe!”

“I believe!”

“I believe! God!”

“God!”

“Savior!”

Flop flop

The others also began to kneel one by one following the old man.

And just like that, he put his head on the ground.

As if daring to face it is disrespectful

“Rise up, I am not God.”

Seonwoo dissuaded them.

Not like god

There is no such thing as a god

“The six pairs of large, sacred wings on the back are proof that you are a celestial being! How can you deny yourself that you are a great being?”

“You don’t want our faith?”

“Ah, please… Please… Forgive me…”

“Please don’t abandon us.”

“God…God.”

“Savior…”

But I didn’t listen at all.

Just showing strong faith

‘…This isn’t it…’

It seemed like a long explanation was needed.

To convince those who are full of faith.

************

Dump

Seonwoo leaned back on his chair with a tired expression on his face.

This is because the lengthy explanation consumed a considerable amount of mental strength.

‘…How is it… Is it harder than fighting the apostle?’

On the contrary, it was easier mentally to fight the apostle.

It was enough to just destroy what was in front of me.

‘..This… Is not persuasive…’

Despite his lengthy explanation, he still has not convinced them.

They still think of themselves as gods and are full of thoughts to serve them.

‘Faith is scary, scary.’

If you look at the fact that even the explanation of the party has been ignored like this.

‘Let’s rest for now.’

A refresh was needed.

For the weary soul.

When I was resting like that

Knock Knock Knock

A knock on the door rang in my ears.

Follow that sound and turn your gaze

Kiki profit

The door opened with the sound of hinges engaging, and a beautiful woman like a spring flower began to appear.

Self-proclaimed talker

It was Leila’s appearance.

“Try some of this.”

She lifted the teacup onto the tray.

“I just happened to be thirsty, but that’s great, thanks, Leila.”

“Thank you, you are the hero who saved the village.”

Leila had a bright smile.

It was a very pleasant laugh.

Spurt

He picked up a teacup and quenched her throat.

Then, the unique strong scent tickled her nostrils and gave her a comfortable feeling.

“Does it suit your taste?”

Leila made a questioning expression.

“Ah, I feel like something is calming down.”

“Huhu, it probably is, because the scent of Hill Lime comforts the mind and body.”

“Is the name of the tea leaves Hill Lime?”

“Yes, it is a precious tea leaf that only grows wild in the Elven Forest.”

“Can you give me something so precious?”

“I can give you anything you want, are you our savior?”

It was not worth it at all.

If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t even be able to breathe.

“Of course, that includes me too.”

Leila put on a playful expression.

“Ah, I’ll decline that.”

Seonwoo firmly waved his hand.

“…Ugh…You’re so determined, please worry about it, it’s embarrassing.”

“I wasn’t considerate, I’m sorry.”

“If you’re really sorry, you can go on a date later.”

“I’ll refuse.”

“Ugh…You’re determined this time too! You crush a woman’s pride too easily! A hero!”

Leila puffed out her cheeks and made a pouty expression.

The resolute Sunwoo’s attitude seemed quite dissatisfied.

“Hero? Me?”

“Yeah, they didn’t tell me their names… But it seems like they’re too embarrassed to call them saviors… Or gods… So I put them on temporarily!”

“…I don’t think it’s a particularly suitable title, right?”

As much as god

No, it was a title more distant than God.

Where do you see yourself as a warrior who exudes the energy of death?

“No, no matter who sees it, you are a warrior! What title could be more appropriate for a great hero who saved the village by defeating the Heretic Questioners of the rotten Holy Kingdom?”

Leila courageously began to express her opinion.

“I was just doing my duty.”

Is it justice

Or peace

There was no such grand sense of mission.

“They call people who do their duty a warrior.”

“…You don’t say a word.”

“Hehe, I’m really good at talking.”

Leila let out a laugh as she put on her mischievous expression.

“…You and the villagers… Why are you all so stubborn…”

“Well, isn’t that a feature of the Heltant Village?”

“Is that why you’re so stubborn as a group?'”

She winked toward the window.

There was a large number of people kneeling and praying.

“I don’t know if that’s the case, they’re all just stubborn people.”

“My head hurts.”

Sunwoo shook his throbbing head.

Leila stared at Sunwoo without a word.

“Are you in trouble?”

And then she slowly opened her mouth.

“I don’t want to pay more attention today.”

“Then shall I send them all back?”

“No.”

They were the ones who didn’t even listen to her own words.

It was impossible to listen to Leila’s words.

“Is it possible?”

“These are people who don’t listen to me, who worships them as gods. They can’t listen to you, can they?”

“Then would you like to bet?”

Leila’s mischievous eyes sparkled.

“Bet?’

“Yes, I am confident to send it back.”

“What about the bet?”

How about granting your wish?”

“Hmm… It’s a wish…”

“Of course, unreasonable wishes are not allowed, and only those that can be realized.”

“It wouldn’t be bad under those conditions.”

Soon after, Sunwoo shook his head.

It wasn’t such a bad condition.

You’ll be the one who wins anyway

‘I’ll have to ask for a guide later.’

In order to head to the temple of the sun god Latrell, he needed a guide who was friendly to him and who could take care of himself.

If it’s Layra with a considerable level of magic skills, she’ll be able to meet the conditions.

“Really? No complaints?”

“Ah, really, I’m not overdoing it.”

“Then come on, promise.”

Leila spread her little finger.

Apparently, the sign of promise in this town was not very different from the earth.

“Yes, promise.”

Seonwoo stretched out her little finger and intertwined her fingers.

“Then, now you can copy, coat, sign, seal, stamp, scan, pattern, fingerprint recognition, and even iris recognition.”

A sullen expression was made.

Are these the same?

*********

A lake town not too far from the border

Lampult

In a place that was always leisurely and peaceful, a huge fire broke out.

The building was set on fire, and terrible screams rang out everywhere, and the smell of burning corpses began to vibrate.

It has changed so terribly that it is impossible to find its former appearance.

“Ahhhhh !! Laura !! Lenny !!”

The chief of Lampult Village, Joseph, began to scream while holding the two charred corpses in his arms.

“What the hell… What the hell… This is…”

Clearly, today was a wonderful day.

Win a big contract with a large merchant company and celebrate with the villagers and everyone and share the joy.

Everyone raised a toast in the hope that everyone would be able to eat their fill.

Does that mean that the village that used to share such a small but small happiness is changing into such a terrible shape?

“Honey…Honey…”

The wife who had become a lump of charcoal showed no signs of waking up.

“Lenny… Lenny…”

Her daughter also fell into her arms and fell into an eternal sleep from which she could not be awakened.

“…Jonathan…”

The old drinking buddy was burning alive.

“Donnie…”

The nephew had his head cut off, leaving only his neck exposed.

“Anna, Marie, Helen, Amy… James… William… John…”

There was no one to answer.

All are dead

“Aaaaa!!”

He shed bloody tears, tore his hair, and screamed.

It was because I couldn’t keep my sanity completely in the hopeless reality that I couldn’t believe.

Click click click

Then the sound of heavy footsteps pierced his ears.

He quickly turned his head.

And could see

A series of groups armed with brilliant silver armor

Those who perpetrated massacres and arson

One of the many knights representing the Holy Empire

It was the Holy Cross.

“One was alive.”

The person standing in the front muttered as if in recitation.

“You uh…You uh…You uh!!”

Joseph began to run with a scream-like scream.

How can I forget

He was the one who slaughtered his wife and daughter with a smile.

He just couldn’t stand it.

He had to die at the cost of everything.

Pooh wook

“Kuuuuu…”

However, it was impossible to overcome the wall of reality with that will alone.

With the power of a mere villager, the leader of the Knights of the Holy Cross couldn’t even inflict a small scratch.

“…Why…Why…Why!!”

Josef, with a knife stuck in his stomach, screamed and asked.

Why should they suffer like this

Why did this terrible thing happen?

Why does it have to be so painful

“Heresy is not tolerated.”

The commander of the Knights of the Holy Cross opened his mouth in a calm tone.

“Kuluk…We are…Kuluk…Heretic..No…No…No…No…”

Josef vomited blood and expressed his injustice.

Squeak

But, unfortunately, he couldn’t finish the conversation.

It was because his head was cut off and he soared into the air.

“It’s not you who judge, it’s Seongguk.”

The commander of the Knights of the Holy Cross stared at the dismembered corpse with cold eyes and opened his mouth.

Scolding

And he lightly snapped his fingers.

Then white flame soared and began to burn Joseph’s body.

As if not leaving any traces

“With this all evil is destroyed.”

The commander of the Holy Cross smiled benevolently.

It was a benevolent smile that would not be seen as someone who had committed countless massacres.

“Where next?”

“That’s it.”

“Already?”

“Yes, this is the last place the Heretic Questioners pointed out as heresy.”

“Hmm… I can’t help it, I have no choice but to go back.”

The thought of wanting to destroy evil filled my head, but I couldn’t help it.

Since there is no object left

“How about going by way of a helmet horse near the border?”

“The Heltant?”

I asked curiously.

“Yes, this is where one of the heretic questioners was dispatched. Perhaps by now, a temporary temple would have been built there. Wouldn’t it be better to stay at the temple?”

“Who is the interrogator in charge?”

“This is Zaelos.”

“Certainly he would have finished building the temple.”

Among the Heretic Inquisitors, Zaelos was known for his speedy handling of work.

If he had been dispatched, it would have been possible to proceed from the heresy judgment to the temple construction all at once.

“Okay, let’s go to Hellunte.”

The commander of the Knights of the Holy Cross turned around and walked away.

“I will follow orders!”

After that, all the knights started following him.
.
.
.
That’s how the Knights of the Holy Cross headed for Heltant.
