240 – Fanaticism (3)
Lize truly has a gentle personality. She is not praised as a saint for nothing.
However, the gentle personality disappears in two situations: the first is when it is associated with Chaos.
No matter how gentle she is, she also has an eccentric side as a believer in Chaos. She also never forgives her blasphemy.
The second time is when it involves the enemy. Enemies are not necessarily demons; people are the same.
“Don’t ever mention the interrogation room again. Otherwise, it will be difficult to return home safely.”
Like right now. Rize was exuding a rare killing intent.
Even I, who was right next to her, couldn’t help but tremble because my stomach was numb.
It is similar yet different from when she received her berserk control training.
At that time, she felt that her life was in danger with one punch, like a person trampling on an ant.
But now, as a person to person, I felt a strong threat of tearing you apart.
“I’m sorry. I made a mistake. But it was such an interesting creature that I was curious.”
“There is no need to be very curious about Sivar. Although he is hated by Gaia, he is an ordinary person.”
She heard it from Luna. I am not of ordinary birth, but a descendant of the devil.
Even though I was a being that shouldn’t exist in this world, they treated me like a human being. Rather than being impressed, I became a little more puzzled.
Why is Rize protecting me like this? Is she protecting me since it’s been so long since we met?
Moreover, she seems to have met the original owner of this body. There are too many strange parts.
“He’s an ordinary person… I heard that even if he gets hurt, he recovers quickly? This is also a characteristic of the devil…”
Alexander’s doubts did not end. As he said, quick regeneration is one of the devil’s characteristics.
For a devil, the body is a shell that maintains its shape. A shell to preserve the small amount of color remaining.
So, it regenerates to maintain its form until all mana is used up. That is, until you target their weak point.
“It’s called regeneration…”
Lise smiled after hearing Alexander’s words. It is a smile that is close to what is commonly called a rotten smile.
Then she lifted her hand and held her fingers with her opposite hand.
Wood!
And then I just broke it. Her index and middle fingers were bent in directions they could not be bent.
This is an injury that makes you frown just by looking at it. Fingers feel pain more easily than other parts.
Nevertheless, Rize had a calm face, as if she was used to this kind of pain. Even Alexander looked as if he had not expected this kind of eccentricity.
Wood! Wow!
Although it was an injury that required several months to recover, it didn’t take long for everyone to recover.
Her broken fingers slowly returned to their original positions and became fine as if nothing had happened.
“If this is the case, am I also a devil? Fast regeneration is a characteristic of devils, but it doesn’t mean they don’t exist at all.”
Rize repeatedly bent and straightened her fingers to show that she was fine.
Rebirth is certainly not the exclusive domain of devils. Even for me, in the beginning, my regeneration was the same as that of an ordinary person.
It was a shame that I found a good herb for the bleeding after being bitten by a wolf, otherwise I would have died from excessive bleeding.
Furthermore, luckily, there was no bacterial infection. When I think about that time, I can’t help but think it was truly heavenly luck.
“Moreover, even Gaia’s believers can heal quickly by using sacred spells. How will you explain this?”
“Hmm… After thinking about it, you’re right. I’m sorry. My thoughts were short.”
“It’s not a sin to be curious. It just leads you down a dangerous path.”

In fact, it is a semi-threat.
Please refrain from being curious about me as much as possible. Otherwise it will become dangerous.
Since the saint said so, even Father Alexander would not be able to do anything.
Given that he came here alone in the first place, it is highly likely that he came simply for observation.
I guess they just came to check if the rumor is true or false. There is ample evidence that I am not the devil.
‘Actually, they are descendants.’
Let’s skip this. This is a truth that must be hidden until death.
If this truth spreads, not only Gaia but many other people will come to attack me.
Just as I was thinking about that, Alexander asked in a puzzled voice.
“By the way, saintess.”
“Please speak.”
“Why are you protecting this person?”
I’m curious about that part too. Rize had a particularly strong tendency to care for me.
For others, it was just counseling, but I ended up living together.
From a third party’s point of view, it would have gone beyond the level of suspicion. No matter how far from authority she may be, a saint is a saint.
“It’s simple. Brother Sivar was chosen by Chaos himself.”
“Ah. Somehow.”
They just passed it off as a believer in Chaos. Actually, my doubts were not resolved.
Still, this part shows how much Rize cares for the followers of Chaos.
‘But why the Pope…?’
Suddenly, I thought of the Pope who was desperately begging for his life. The Pope said this was a crazy place and was struggling to get out.
Even the Gaspard believers rushed to subdue the Pope. It was truly chaotic, but everyone said it was normal and moved on.
What kind of circumstances do they have? There were many things I wanted to ask, but I held back.
Didn’t Rize just a moment ago say that his life would be in danger because of his curiosity?
The moment Rize asks various questions like a disobedient cat, there is a high possibility that she will become embarrassed.
“Then let’s end the story here. Although it is suspicious, there is ample evidence that it is not a demon.”
“How will you deliver it to the top?”
“I don’t know why, but I feel like Gaia hates me. Can I raise it to this level?”
“That’s enough.”
I didn’t do anything. If you want to hate me, I have to hate you.
Because I was born with it, I couldn’t help but hate it.
This is most likely the reason why they did not listen to me even when I prayed at the temple.
“Are you going to stay here for a while?”
“Well, given the circumstances right now, I don’t have anything to do even if I go back to Byzantine.”
No. Please go back I feel burdened when I have you.
If there were not only saints but also fanatics, I would feel suffocated to death.
Moreover, there is a high possibility that there are still hunters in the forest. If the hunter’s presence is noticed, there will be a bit of a frustrating situation.
‘Or the opposite happened.’
Hunters have the best skills among assassins.
If the situation is right, even Alexander would be defeated in one hit.
It would be much better to leave it as is and block access to the forest.
“I don’t think Father Alexander should say anything.”
“I believe the saint is well aware of our situation.”
“I don’t know. It’s difficult to train priests now, isn’t it?”
“··· ···”
With those words, Lise smiled, while Alexander’s expression hardened.
When I heard that, I blinked in confusion. We are not training priests.
In the original Soul World, there was also a training method to become a believer in Gaia. It is a training method aimed at the latter half of the game.
But the fact that the road is blocked is so strange. Even if there are cases where it is not possible due to lack of talent, training itself will not be blocked.
“······Excuse me, but there is an outsider right next to me. Please be careful what you say.”
“Brother Sivar, it’s okay. It’s something I’m not interested in, so even if I know it, I’ll forget it right away.”
“Ah. Now that I think about it…”
Alexander glanced at me. I guess it reminded me of my origin(?).
I grew up in the forest. But I’m not stupid.
I knew everything, so I couldn’t easily ignore those words.
“Since when?”
“It’s hard to tell exactly, but I’ll just tell you that it’s been a long time.”
When looking at the situation roughly, it is clear that there is a problem on Gaia’s side. I don’t know the exact reason.
At least Erica is okay because she believed in Gaia since she was young, but she hasn’t since.
Fortunately, other than Erica, there were no priests that came to mind.
‘First of all, Luna will never trust Gaia.’
A priest is a profession that is difficult to train. However, the situation has become more difficult to the point where it is completely blocked.
Moreover, Luna is a priest and is busy improving her basic skills.
‘Is it possible that it’s not that Gaia didn’t answer… But that she couldn’t?’
That makes quite a bit of sense. The Gulag at least struck down lightning or sent a messenger.
But Gaia did not do that. She only remained silent, and she did the same even when she swore.
Things and situations I knew changed drastically. It is difficult to figure out what exactly happened.
‘If you think about it carefully…’
This part of the body is puzzling. As far as I know, this body never existed in the Soul World.
But the situation seemed to have gone awry when she suddenly barged in. I think we need to think about this part slowly.
“Anyway, that’s all I can tell you.”
“Thank you. Are you going back right away?”
“As I said before, I don’t have anything better to do if I go back.”
Alexander smiled as he said that. It doesn’t matter as long as he smiles, but his eyes turn towards me.
When her body tightened due to unexplained anxiety, Alexander spoke.
“So, you said you are favored by Chaos and Gulag?”
“It’s not a gulag.”
The Gulag is treating me like a bastard. I told you that whenever I’m bored, I get struck by lightning.
Anyway, Alexander corrected me while maintaining a smile.
“You should call me Gulag, not Gulag.”
“Yes.”
“Now, how about believing in Gaia too?”
I answered immediately.
“I don’t like it.”
I don’t know anything else, but I don’t want to believe in Gaia.
Her divine power is at a level that would harm me rather than benefit me, so why do I believe it?
“I hate Gaia.”
“··· ···”
Alexander’s kind smile became distorted.
*****
Father Alexander decided to stay at the Academy for a while.
Actually, rather than staying, I decided to just stay for one day because I didn’t want to go back right away.
The situation was resolved better than expected, and all that was left was to take classes until the final exam.
‘What was the final exam?’
Now, professors are also slowly realizing how to treat me. They are capable people in many ways.
With that in mind, I returned to the dormitory. Grace must have returned from class by now.
‘Ah. ‘Did you say you were with Godin today?’
I heard that you will be doing research with Godin until late in the evening today.
But that doesn’t mean the two are together. Jane, who is treated like a graduate student, will also be there.
Therefore, it is highly likely that he will return late in the evening. With that in mind, I opened the door wide.
Rat!
“Huh?”
“······?”
But as soon as I opened the door, an unexpected scene unfolded before my eyes.
Why are Dan Ye-rin and Lee Yeon-ju in a dormitory where there should obviously be no one?
And why are they tangled together? There was even a small dagger in Lee Yeon-ju’s hand.
In the strange silence, I blinked and looked at the door again. This is to check the room number.
“Ah.”
You opened the wrong room. I think I opened the next door without realizing it.
Anyway…
“What are you two doing?”
“··· ···”
“Wrestling?”
“Be loud and help.”
After hearing Dan Ye-rin’s words, she immediately approached her.
