Chapter 104 – 09.5. Hero Summon Demon King Advent (1)
[Hero Summon Demon King Advent]
Corridor decorated with white marble. A dwarf on top of it was walking and shouting three times, making footsteps thump and thump.
“God damn bald!”
“Hey, adoptive father. Calm down.”
“Do I look like a calm person!”
The paladin who was walking next to him stopped him, but the dwarf’s anger, which only reached her chest her, did not seem to subside.
Despite her voice being loud enough to reverberate through the hallway, she remained calm. She has been his adopted daughter his for over 10 years. The adoptive father’s loud voice and the easily boiling anger were now familiar. My ears hurt a little, but I managed to endure it if I protected my eardrums with moderate divine power.
“He’s a man with no quirks. No matter how much he’s a pope, he’s only half my age! In my time, uh!”
‘This sound again….’
It’s not that I don’t respect him, but he was a very annoying and boring man. He could n’t have looked that cool from a distance, but it was infinitely annoying to know his usual appearance right next to him.
One of the legendary warriors who defeated the Demon King 18 years ago, and the oldest priest in the Holy See. The leader of the Grand Sacred Hammer and one of the 11 cardinals. Its stature his can be counted within five fingers in the Holy Kingdom.
At one time, she considered it a great honor to be able to support him like the other sisters her. When he got the chance after all his hard work his, he was so happy that he would jump in the sky.
But not now. If anyone wanted this position, I would gladly give it up. No, on the contrary, she was willing to pay her price for her.
“Haha… I can’t help it…?!”
“… ?! This, this… !!”
The two were stunned by the sudden feeling of great divine power. They both noticed it at the same time, and it felt so distinct that I couldn’t believe it was an illusion.
“Why…?”
“This direction is the waiting room!”
The divine power quickly subsided, but the location had already been identified.
The largest prayer room in the Vatican, where the statue of the goddess exists, was right there.
“Let’s go!”
“Yes!”
They ran straight to the waiting room. Running was forbidden in the halls of the Holy See, but there was no time to mind such a trivial rule.
Feeling such divine power usually meant that the oracle of the goddess had come down. Of course, they both thought so. The last time the trust came down was 23 years ago. When the war with the demons was in full swing, it explained the hero’s appearance and asked him to find him.
Even after the oracle was issued, she spent three years searching for him, but the hero of the oracle successfully defeated the demon king.
‘What is it about this time? It would be nice if it was in the direction of a war!’
However, what they encountered in the waiting room was a little different from what the dwarf paladin had hoped for.
As if they were the first to arrive, there were only three people in the innermost waiting room.
One of them was a person they both knew well. Claudy, the silver-haired saint who defeated the demon lord with the dwarf paladin Luciano. But I didn’t know who the other two were. Not only the foreign face, but also the clothes were somehow unfamiliar.
“Uh…”
“Cloudy? Those two are…”
Saint Cloudy’s eyes were properly opened, not the typical narrow eyes of hers. Just by looking at it, Luciano and Fiora knew that this was not an ordinary occurrence.
Soon, a confused, stuttering voice was heard.
“This, these two… Are warriors,” He said.
“What?”
“Goddess…”
“…”
“Huh?”
Luciano and Pio were at a loss for words at the unexpected words of the saint.
The two men and women were sitting on the sofa in the VIP room, conversing cautiously. The man said to the woman sitting next to him with a slightly excited expression.
“Hey, do you know what’s going on?”
“Asshole, did you fall asleep earlier? They say we are warriors.”
“So that’s right? Another world transfer. Oh, is it a summon?”
“… Well, that’s probably the case.”
“Hiya.”
The sofa was very soft, unlike the surroundings that gave off a medieval feel. It was so comfortable that on the contrary, this seat was uncomfortable. It was a situation that is often referred to as a seat of restlessness.
“Ha, Mr. I was having a lot of fun playing the game, but what’s going on…”
“Why. That’s good. You can become a hero to save the world.”
“You’re… Ha. Nothing.”
Looking at her immature twin brother, she sighed lightly. And she was lost in thought.
Actually, it wasn’t a false statement. The two definitely met the goddess. The memory was strangely blurred as if there was noise, but apparently the goddess asked them to save this continent from the evil darkness.
And the place summoned is the Holy See, which believes in the Goddess Church of another world.
The first person I met there was a saintess.
Two ordinary college students in Korea who each like anime and games. At the request of a goddess from another world, he was summoned to a fantasy world and appointed as a hero. He goes on an adventure with several colleagues, defeats the enemies blocking his way, and finally defeats the demon king.
It was a typical story of summoning heroes from another world, except for the fact that there were two heroes, and that was called twins.
It may sound like a bad story, but they were actually given powerful abilities by the goddess. A status window. There were also blessings including various growth buffs.
“…”
But she was anxious.
Unlike her twin brother who liked her who liked hopeful animations in which the main character defeats the demon king and becomes a hero, this is because the games she likes and enjoys are mostly female heroes who are raped and corrupted by extras or monsters.
‘No. Honestly, that kind of content is far-fetched, isn’t it?’
After a moment of thought, she shook her head.
‘No matter how fantasy it is, there’s no way a woman can be corrupted so easily. Womb tattoos and aphrodisiacs are all convenience functions.’
It’s a real world, a fantasy world to be exact. Anyway, if you had that ability, it was too fraudulent. And I didn’t even live cool.
Thanks to her, her troubles her didn’t last long. Rather, I thought it was a joke.
‘If this world is like that, is it NTR for him? Losing your family and losing the people you love? Pooh.’
While she was laughing to soothe her insides her, her door opened and an old man in priestly clothes with her hair bald entered her. At first glance, the appearance of a person who seemed to be of a high rank and seemed to have a bit of a kick, the twins jumped up from their seats and bowed to him.
“Heh heh, nice to meet you, warriors.”
A saintess appeared after the old man and introduced him as the pope.
No matter how much they met the goddess and became warriors, the name of the pope came too big to the two, who were mere citizens. Thanks to that, the two of them stiffened.
“Uh, that, bar, nice to meet you!! I’m the hero Kang Jin-hyeok!!”
“I-I’m that, Kang Yu-ri…”
“Are you comfortable? Aren’t you two warriors called by the Goddess directly from another world?”
“Yes Yes.”
‘Goddess. And just a warrior… Is it.’
Kang Yu-ri, who was quick to notice compared to his younger brother, noticed that the Pope was not very welcoming of the two. Both the pope and the saint seemed very welcoming to them, but their tone was subtle.
‘Maybe I’m overthinking it, but I still have to be careful just in case.’
“Hmm. I’m sorry, but this old man is busy with work… Talk to the saintess for details.”
“Ah, I see.”
Soon after, the pope disappeared and the tension subsided a bit. Apparently, the saintess was much more comfortable than the pope.
It is true that the saintess also had a high status, but to the two people who enjoyed her games and animations, the perception of her as a saintess was more like her fellow candidates rather than a high-ranking person. The appearance of the saintess in her early twenties, who seemed to be the same age as them, also contributed to this perception.
“I’m sorry. Our Pope is busy with construction…”
“It’s okay.”
“Yes, that’s right! We’d be more comfortable with the saintess!”
Yu-ri sighed inwardly at the sight of her younger brother her stuttering nervously and even saying things he did n’t need to say.
‘That stupid bastard.’
Glancing at Jinhyeok’s face, it seemed that he had fallen in love with the saintess. I knew he was a goldsmith, but I hadn’t thought he’d be that easy. Now, we only exchanged a few words every second time, but he already looked like he was thinking about getting married.
Yuri’s gaze, which went back to the front, reached the saintess.
‘… Is it worth it?’
Certainly Saint Cloudy was beautiful.
The long, dark silver hair, which can be seen with the naked eye, definitely gave the impression that white hair and silver hair are different. She has white skin like a doll and has a graceful figure. The white nun-like outfit emphasized her innocence as it was not stained at all. I was wondering if I could see the front here, so I was looking like a person who jumped out of a real cartoon or game.
“Oh, that’s nice. Huhu.”
‘Wow, Mr. Her smile her is pretty too.’
I just lost my temper. If she were to join the adventure to defeat the demon lord, her appearance would continue to be compared. Yuri heard good news and sad news.
“Um… Will the saintess go with you when you go to defeat the demon king?”
Did you say being ignorant is brave?
Falling in love with the saintess, Jinhyeok asked a very straight question.
“No. I’m not going this time.”
“Ah…”
Jin-hyeok is blatantly regretful. Joy and sadness coexisted in Yuri’s heart as the saintess did not go with her. A saintess would have tremendous power.
Then she felt something strange.
“You’re not going this time?”
“Yes.”
“That means…”
“Miss Yuri is quick-witted. That’s right. I once defeated the Demon King 18 years ago with the hero of that time.”
I got it. But at the same time, two more questions arose. One of them was asked by Jinhyeok instead.
“Eighteen years ago? Then the saintess is old…”
“Oh, it’s not good to ask her lady’s age her.”
“Oh, sorry…”
“Whoa. Just kidding. I’m 32 this year. At that time, as soon as I became a saint, she had to go on a trip.”
The twins were surprised at the age difference of 10 years. Other than that, other thoughts came to my mind. How you can force a pre-teen girl into a battlefield, how that can look like a 32 year old, etc. But what I was most curious about was, of course, this.
“By the way, you defeated the demon lord 18 years ago… Have you already resurrected?”
I couldn’t understand that the demon king appeared again after only 18 years. And what they were summoned too.
“Resurrection…? Hmm. I don’t know what world you’re from, but the demon king in our world just means the leader of the demons. He’s literally the king of the demons.”
“Then…”
Is it a method in which a new demon king is periodically born?
“It’s actually strange.”
“Yes?
“Originally, the Goddess only sends warriors when demons invade.
“…”
Both Jinhyeok and Yuri understood the saintess’ words.
It seemed like a more fantasy-like mechanism than I thought. It just seemed like a way for the goddess to hand down warriors when the situation wasn’t good when the country of demons, hostile to humans and other races, attacked.
The two, not familiar with the circumstances of this world, wondered if they needed a hero when they heard that.
“And the oracle that the goddess gave me is that the two of you are warriors.”
“We met the goddess, but…”
“What did the goddess say?”
The saintess’ expression was so serious that it was no longer there. At the same time, the twin warriors also became nervous.
“So what we heard…”
“A threat looms over the continent. Darkness permeates the continent, so we must stop it.”
“Oh, that’s right. And please defeat the demon king once again, that’s what it was about.”
After hearing their words, the saintess thought for a moment and then raised her head.
“Threat on the continent… Darkness is permeating… It seems that evil was stirring somewhere we didn’t know. And it was so secret that we didn’t notice it, so the goddess sent down two warriors.”
“Oh, I think that interpretation is correct!”
“I know, right.”
Jihyeok and Yuri also nodded and agreed. Even when they heard it, the saintess seemed right.
In a situation where information is limited as it is now, there is no other possible interpretation than this. However, there was something the saintess did not understand. She didn’t need to drop a hero if that was the case.
‘It would have been fine if you just gave me an oracle… Why does the goddess have two warriors? Do you have any other reasons?’
Of course, the goddess did not answer her inner thoughts of her.
‘… No, what does that matter? What’s really important….’
The trash-like demons dare to do dirty tricks without even knowing the grace of the Goddess.
‘What, what was it?!’
It was only for a moment, but Yuri could see it. An eerie smile appeared on the saintess’ face of her. She felt more like an evil villain or a terrifying schemer than a priest or saint. She had been so fleeting and it seemed that she had n’t seen her brother her, but she was sure she was n’t mistaken.
‘… Just in case, I’ll have to be careful on this side as well.’
“Aren’t you hungry? There’s a lot to tell you, but let’s rest for a while.”
“Oh, yes! Great!”
“…Thank you.”
Under the guidance of the saintess, the twin heroes summoned from the modern era set foot in a different world in earnest.
