Chapter 723 – #020. Priest of Darkness, Kaya Levantein (16).

#020. Dark Priest, Kaya Levantane.

I spent the night with Loen and went out of town.
I met with Daniel who was waiting outside the village and confirmed the operation again.
After hearing my explanation, Daniel said.

“… You mean to play a warlock?”
“Yes, that’s right. It is the role of a warlock who wants to sacrifice his hometown to cure a disease caused by war.”

The setting that the reason why he had not returned to the village so far was because he was busy preparing for black magic.
What kind of expression will Sylvia make when she sees Daniel who is about to sacrifice her hometown?

‘I don’t know anything else, but the affection will fall.’

He has endured even against Rex and his mercenaries.
But what came back was her husband’s betrayal.
For Sylvia, who kept her chastity until the end, there would be no betrayal as shocking as that.

Daniel glared at me and said.

“Promises must be kept.”
“I am not lying about this. What does that mean?”
“He promised to fix my leg and give me strength. Power equal to what you have now.”

Just look at the feel, she gave me some of the warlock’s powers.
Then Daniel began to obsess about power.

It wasn’t an ugly obsession.
I want to have this kind of power too, it was close to the same nuanced obsession.

‘Because I went through the war myself.’

It wasn’t surprising that he craved power.
As long as it was a power that did not adversely affect the body or mind, it was advantageous to possess it anyway.

I promised to give you that power.
Once Daniel has done his part, I will keep my promise.

“Instead, Daniel should do his part properly. Are you sure?”
“… I don’t know if I should say I’m confident, but I plan to do my best.”

He looked into Daniel’s eyes.
There was a firm will in his eyes.
Daniel intended to cut ties with his pre-war life.

“It’s a good look. I have faith.”

If Daniel gets it right, things will go smoothly.

I put Daniel on standby and returned to the village.
The village was still peaceful.
It was thanks to the former village chief who regained his vitality.

“Oh, priest, are you here?”

The former mayor handed over all authority to her daughter Sylvia.
At this opportunity, I’m going to put down the fuss and enjoy the rest of my life to the fullest.

“At this point, I want to go on an adventure. Are there things you didn’t do when you were young?”

The former village chief had come to die.
That moment caused a change of heart.
Opportunities that I had to give up when I was young, I want to enjoy them now.

“Challenge spirit, very good.”

I blessed him
I wished for a smooth journey.
The former village chief chuckled and burst into laughter.

“I feel like my body has become lighter. After all, I am a priest!”

Looking at his current momentum, he seemed ready to become a member of the Church of Peace.

As the former chief was excited, his daughter Sylvia seemed to be in a good mood as well.
He was the father who was bedridden.
Whatever he does, it’s far better than putting on a dingy face and waiting to die.

“It is thanks to the priest. How should I repay this favor…”
“I just did what I had to do as a priest of the Church of Peace. One thank you is enough for me.”

Play a benevolent priest.
Sylvia paused to amplify the sense of debt she was feeling.

Time passes and the operation begins.
A black aura surrounded the entire village and formed a dome.
The villagers who had experienced it once before ran out of the house in fright as soon as they saw the black barrier.

“What is this!?”
“Why again? The Rex mercenaries are already dead!”

The villagers were terrified.
Because there is something the Rex mercenaries have done, they are worried.

“It’s okay. Do not worry.”

Loen stepped forward and comforted the villagers.
She deliberately showed a strong side.
The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

“That’s right. There’s a paladin in town right now… !”
“It will be fine.”
“Paladin-sama! This time, please, please!”

I don’t know who is plotting this, but I want you to take care of it first.
The villagers asked for it.
The old man who had only a few years left to live, and the newborn baby who had just started babbling, were looking at the back of the Holy Knight Loen.

While I was anxious to see the black curtain, someone appeared from afar.
A hideous monster with bundles of tentacles covering its entire body was approaching the village as if moving its steps.

“Monster, monster!”
“Aaaaa… !”

Adults were shocked and children burst into tears.
Seeing the creepy appearance, the eyebrows were naturally furrowed.

‘I made it myself, but it’s amazing.’

If it wasn’t for the strategy, I would have broken my head right away.
He was acting so bizarre.

The hole that I don’t know if it’s my mouth is shaking.
The monster opened its mouth and spat out words.

“… Sylvia…”

The monster called Sylvia.
Her voice was so clear that everyone in the village could hear it.

Sylvia looked around with her puzzled look on her face.
It seemed that she really wanted confirmation that she had found herself.

“… I’m Daniel…”
“Daniel?”

At the mention of her acquaintance’s name, her Sylvia’s face lit up.
Sylvia approached the monster at the thought that her long-awaited husband had returned.

“Sylvia! You can’t go!”
“You are a monster! That’s not Daniel!”

The villagers did not listen to them even when they tried to stop them.
The monster’s voice had power.
The power to charm opponents.

Sylvia moved herself closer to the monster and she checked his face.
The tentacles covering her head came off, revealing Daniel.

“Daniel!”

Sylvia’s tentacles swarmed with joy.
Daniel’s tentacle pierced Sylvia’s shoulder.

Pooh-!

Blood spurted out.
Sylvia didn’t even know what she was doing, she looked at Daniel with a bewildered face.
She then frowned as if she felt pain.

“All right, Daniel… ?”
“Sylvia.”

Daniel’s voice returned to normal.
He spat out the lines set for the despicable black magician Maengki.

“Sorry, I can’t help it. For me to live.”
“What do you mean… Ah… !”

The shoulder is pierced.
Even the slightest movement hurts.

Her tentacles wriggled, grappling with Sylvia’s shoulders.
Sylvia screamed in her pain.
It was not a pain that a woman who had lived her whole life in a rural village could handle.

Sylvia struggled, drooling over her saliva.
The more she does, the more her tentacles sway wildly.

“Oh, it hurts… !”

At that moment, the paladin stepped out.
She swung her holy sword, Peacebreaker, and severed the strands of her tentacles.

Sylvia fell to her dirt floor.
Sylvia rolled on the dirt floor, covered in her own blood.

I ran quickly and dragged Sylvia behind her.
A white light shimmered in my hand.

“Sylvia, calm down.”
“Ooh, black! It hurts, priest…”
“It will be fine.”

The villagers took care of her Silvia.
Sylvia’s wounds had long since healed, but she continued to complain of her pain.

“It is black magic. You feel pain because of the curse.”

It is different from the Dark Church’s divine spell.
The divine spell of darkness is ultimately based on the divine power given by the god of darkness.
Black magic was a power created by humans to radiate evil intentions.

“Everything, why did Daniel…”

Sylvia couldn’t believe it, she cried and asked me.
The sound of falling seemed to be heard from here.

“I don’t know that either. You have to listen to the person…”

The eyes of the villagers turned forward.
There, Daniel, who became a black magician, and Loen, a paladin of peace, were clashing.

Daniel wielded black magic and resisted Loen.
The tentacles imbued with magical power were enduring even the strong winds of Loen.

“Paladin-sama… !”

Rather, it was an atmosphere that pushed Loen away.

Rowen is pushed.
Rowen is defeated.
In other words, the village was like collapsing.

She was quick to judge the situation, as she was almost beaten by Rex’s mercenaries.
They brought out her farming tools to help Loen.
With the momentum to fight if the need arises, he widened his eyes.

However, Daniel, who invaded this time, was on a different level from Rex’s mercenaries.
Daniel was a really vicious guy.

Chew-! Fu-wook!
“Quaaaaagh!”

He wielded his power without hesitation against the villagers.
Tentacles stretched out in all directions, attacking people of all ages.
Blood was sprinkled

I cast a healing spell on the villagers.
It was a divine spell that was different from ordinary priests.
A miracle that brings even the dead back to life.

‘You’re doing well.’

Daniel was wielding his tentacles very subtly.
I felt that I was just acting out the situation, and that I had no intention of actually killing him.
But from the standpoint of the victim, it looks completely different.

“Daniel? Is that Daniel?”
“What the hell happened on the battlefield!”
“That ungrateful bastard!”

The villagers shouted.
Daniel continued to listen and pushed Rowen away.

A look of bewilderment appeared on Ron’s face.
Even though I did my best, I was pushed back, so I was embarrassed.

“Turn it off!”

Daniel stretched his tentacles towards Roen.
Loen held up her Peace Breaker to block the honest tentacle attack.

Jjwoong-!

The strong energy that was wrapped around the Peacebreaker shattered into pieces.
I couldn’t overcome the strands of tentacles and was pushed.
Unable to withstand the shock, Loen ran away.

It wasn’t smoke.
It was the real Daniel.

Daniel smiled in admiration for his strength.
That smile looked really evil.
To the point that the villagers shuddered.

“Daniel!”

Sylvia shouted.
Calling her own husband, he stepped out in front of her.
Her villagers try to catch her, but she’s not strong enough.

Sylvia looked at Daniel, who had turned into a monster, she said.

“Why the hell are you doing this? Why did you change like that!”
“… Sylvia.”

Daniel’s eyes twinkled.
However, she soon began to stick to her role as if she had made up her mind.

“Rex, I made a request to them… No one does it right Tsk.”
“Rex… ? If it’s Rex…”
“Yes, those who came a while ago. Actually I sent it I asked you to do some work in advance.”

Daniel took Rex’s guilt.
The villagers will think of Daniel and Rex as one body.

Sylvia asked in a trembling voice as if she couldn’t believe it.

“Why…”
“A sacrifice.”
“Sacrifices… ?”
“I plan to use the villagers as sacrifices to restore my body.”

Tentacles crept under Daniel’s feet.
Tentacles dug into the village soil and soon spread throughout the village.
Tentacles soon appeared from behind and stuck into the villagers’ necks.

Pooh-!
“Quaaaaa!”
“Ahahaha. Ok, that’s it The negative emotions of a betrayed human being!”

The bodies of the villagers deprived of vitality began to dry up.
The tentacles almost got stuck in Sylvia’s neck too.

Turong-!
“Priest… !”

Thanks to my timely opening of the curtain of light, I was able to escape.

“Sylvia, step back. That man has already become a monster. I can’t speak.”
“You… !”

Daniel growled and screamed at me.

“You bastard, die!”

It’s a pre-prepared big store and Nabal.
Daniel burst into anger and fired his tentacles.
There was sincerity in this attack.

He quietly wrapped his arms around Sylvia’s shoulders and read them, which seemed to bother her quite a bit.

I cast my own splendid divine spell.
Brilliance radiated.
