Kate remembered the oracle that Luminous had given after a long time. Go to the darkest and ugliest place to meet the distinguished guests.
After all, there were only vague words like an oracle from a god, but she wondered why such an ambiguous oracle was given.
Since defeating the fallen cardinal, the divine power has increased day by day, and now he could see the future directly like Isaac, not the oracle.
So, originally, I would have asked where I was going, not an abstract oracle like that.
But Kate humbly accepted all of this because it was God’s will. It’s not that I didn’t know the meaning of those words in the first place, but I moved on without much thought.
It made her sad that she was separated from Isaac for quite a long time, but I thought it would be an easy journey as it was enough to bring a distinguished guest.
If the incident that occurred in the underground temple hadn’t been heard.
“Did you say that skeletons appeared?”
“Yeah, yeah! And they’re intelligent enough to talk.”
In the underground temple, a skeleton was resurrected without warning. As soon as Kate heard those words, she had no choice but to narrow her brow.
who is the skeleton Wasn’t he a being who was resurrected against the rules of the world through evil necromancy?
Its existence itself violates the law, so it is a very troublesome existence for the gods including Luminus whom he worships.
How much do you do it to the end? Skeletons are not intelligent, so most of them follow the orders of the necromancer.
Of course, you can summon an intelligent skeleton or a dead person with necromancy. In this case, even the necromancer himself is very strong.
As much as Kate worked as a Grand Inquisitor, she had met such people. Almost all of them were endowed with the spirit of a hero.
Occasionally, there are monsters that occur naturally, such as ‘Durahan’, but they do not cause much harm to mankind.
Such a class guides souls wandering the world without knowing that they are dead. It’s easy to see if you play a role like a grim reaper.
“How many victims?”
“Victims are few … with the exception of a few wounded.”
“Except for the wounded?”
“Yes Yes.”
Kate made a puzzled expression after hearing the investigation team member’s explanation. It’s surprising that they have intelligence, but there are no victims.
If the words of the investigation team are true, it means that the skeleton’s ability is stronger than the entire investigation group.
The Minerva Empire was not an idiot and sent in elite soldiers just in case. In addition, there are priests who are the natural enemies of the dead.
“What did he say?”
“That, that’s…”
The investigator hesitated a bit, then swallowed his saliva and opened his mouth quietly.
“········We asked for the location of Zenon-sama.”
“······Yes?”
At that, Kate frowned as if she had heard it wrong. At first I thought I heard it wrong.
“I also asked where Zenon-sama was and where his father was.”
However, as soon as he heard the explanation that followed immediately, the ties of reason were severed. Kate made an expressionless expression with her lips drawn in one character.
She always smiles softly and brightly like a country girl, but she has a habit of being in love when she loses her reason like this.
That’s right now. She took the mace she had prepared beforehand from her waist.
In my heart, I wanted to wear armor, but I don’t have time for that. I had to deal with the impure beings as quickly as possible.
At the sudden change of attitude, the investigator was embarrassed for a moment, but hurriedly followed her and stopped him.
“Come on, hold on! Listen to me! Even if you’re a skeleton, you could be someone you can talk to!”
“Anyway, he’s a dead man. He’s a being that goes against God’s rules.”
“Hey, such a being didn’t even work with divine power! The priests used all kinds of holy spells, but to no avail!”
“yes?”
Did the urgent words of the investigator work? Kate stopped walking after hearing his explanation.
The previous explanation was enough to make me wonder, but it’s even weirder that the divine power doesn’t work.
“Did you say that the divine power didn’t work at all?”
“Yes, yes! Yes.”
“Didn’t you smoke?”
“yes!”
“Hmm······”
Divinity doesn’t work Kate thought for a moment, then resumed the step she had stopped.
It is true that the divine power is a natural enemy to evil people such as demon worshipers. This is an undeniable fact.
But it’s a little strange that the divine power doesn’t work… It means that even Kate, who is full of fanaticism, is absurd enough to question it.
‘It doesn’t matter.’
Yes, he is a skeleton and a dead man. There were not one or two suspicious parts, but it is hard to believe without seeing it with your own eyes.

Most of all, didn’t he say that he would meet Isaac and Hawke in person? I don’t know where the rolled bones came from, but that’s absolutely not the case.
‘Then who the hell is the VIP?’
It was a situation that did not make sense in many ways, but Kate did not stop her legs. Since verification was an urgent task.
The investigators who followed her somehow stopped her. The current situation has been reported to the superior, but no action has been taken accordingly.
If an accident happened here, it would be a headache in many ways. Despite the persuasion of the investigative team, Kate went on silently.
Eventually, through the path of the underground temple, we reached the place where the stone statue was.
“Is that guy?”
“Yes, yes. Yes, but…”
Kate looked at the skeleton standing proudly in the center of the temple. There was a knight running away in the middle, but I don’t care.
Thus, the apostle of God and the hero who passed by faced each other. Realizing that the atmosphere was not serious, the investigation team slowly retreated.
‘······Big.’
Kate carefully observed the skeleton carrying a broken axe on her shoulder. Obviously, he has only bones, but he is tall.
His appearance stood out even more because he was wearing the old armor he wore while he was still alive. The thing that stands out the most here is the golden light shining through the eye sockets.
It’s not real eyes, but it’s a color that makes you think that you resemble someone. Because golden eyes weren’t that common.
What is rather unique is that he has a cigar in his mouth. There may be no lungs, but when you exhale, smoke rises and falls.
‘You are a woman who has been blessed by God.’

Meanwhile, Skeleton and Clark also observed Kate individually. On the outside, she was a beautiful woman who looked delicate, but the energy she harbored was extraordinary.
Divine power as vast as the sea is divine power, but the most impressive thing is fighting spirit. Such fighting spirit is not seen at all in the Dongnai era.
Predictably, he must have fought countless battles. If not, you can’t have that kind of spirit.
A completely different opponent from the idiots I’ve dealt with so far. Clark waited quietly for her to act first.
Because if I had gone ahead for some reason, annoying things could have happened. Seeing that the other side isn’t attacking right away, he seems to have lost his mind.
‘Ellie comes to mind. They look alike.’
As Clark recalled old memories, Kate recalled what the investigators had said. Holy power doesn’t work for that skeleton at all.
Is that really true? Maybe the demon worshipers increased their resistance to prepare for the priests.
Hearing that there are no fatalities and no serious injuries, he is not evil. But that skeleton is a special dead person who violated the rules.
Therefore, for the ‘exam’, she placed her empty left hand on the center of her chest, not the right hand that Mace held.
Behind the nun’s robe hangs the necklace she wears all the time. Naturally, it is a necklace with a pattern that means luminous.
“Luminus. To the dead person in front…”
“·······”
“Send down the heavenly punishment.”
flash!
As soon as Kate recited the divine spell, a golden pillar of light fell upon Clarke.
A pillar that was much larger than the holy spells that the priests had spread before, and shone brilliantly.
It gives beneficial effects to allies, but can easily destroy evil beings such as demon worshipers.
After all, Kate is the Grand Inquisitor. With a simple spell, the demon worshipers can be completely burned.
[Whoa.]
Contrary to expectations, Clark was fine. The cigar in his mouth was still there, and he even exhaled smoke as if he was very frustrated.
In addition, the fact that the skull is more shiny than before, seems to have been blessed.
“Uh, how…”
“What the hell is that guy?”
“Even the cardinal’s divine power doesn’t work…”
When even Kate’s divine spell didn’t work, the investigative team watching the scene was astonished.
It’s surprising that she came here, but more than that, Clark’s existence itself makes no sense.
How a Skeleton can withstand the Grand Inquisitor’s blessing. It is far beyond common sense.
[Hey. If it’s like this, can’t I just go out soon?]
Clarke said bluntly, putting a cigar in his mouth between his fingers. As soon as I resurrected, I don’t know what kind of trouble this is.
Wouldn’t it be a sudden battle, a streak of holy spells, or a cardinal coming to visit?
If this was the case, only the soul would go without being resurrected. I was going to take the body as well as Hawk wanted, but it seems it was too easy.
Kate wiggled her eyes under Clarke’s relaxed words and actions, then opened her mouth quietly.
“·······They are strange beings. Obviously, dead people like skeletons are against the rules. Still, the divine power doesn’t work.”
[Because the gods allowed it for a while.]
“Don’t mention God. Dead.”
Kate responded in a cold voice. For a fanatic like her, God is life itself.
Of course, the dead shouldn’t be the subject of discussion.
[her?]
Clark, who immediately noticed such a fanatical aspect, swallowed the wind. Meanwhile, Kate’s energy is getting wild in real time.
At this, he shook his head and shook his head. It feels very strange because I can only feel the bare skull.
[Anyway, fanatics… can you send me here anyway?]
Clark’s question made Kate ponder. The author is clearly against the law, but it is strange to see that he is still intact even if he is directly hit by a divine spell.
So you can’t send it out. His goal was to find Isaac and Hawk.
I hate to even imagine that if I let them out and then suddenly change and harm them… Even last time, there were demon worshipers who could change their souls themselves.
The skeleton over there may be a similar case. A case that reveals its true self after gaining trust.
Besides, he has something to see here. An oracle given by Luminus to find and bring a distinguished guest.
I have no intention of leaving the underground temple until I achieve it.
“no.”
Kate answered with a firm voice and grabbed the mace. At the same time, a golden glow began to surround her.
A spell that uses divine power to strengthen the body. Normally she should memorize prayers, but she doesn’t need it.
[I thought so.]
Boo-woong-
Clarke snorted at the expected result and slowly lowered the ax he was carrying on his shoulder and held it with both hands.
Because of its massive size, it boasted a tremendous sense of intimidation even with simple actions.
With the two men ready to fight at any moment, the investigation team hurriedly evacuated.
“Don’t fight fiercely! Please! Leave the scene alone!”
“I mean, there’s still a lot to study!”
“My book! My book is over there…!”
“Shut up and come quickly!”
Apparently, it was more regrettable that the archaeologists missed the opportunity to study the underground temple in front of their eyes.
In particular, one of them lost all the books he had collected, including the biography of Xenon, which he passed on to Clark.
When all but two of them were evacuated, Kate spoke to Clark in a serious tone.
“Prove it.”
[What?]
“That you are not evil. Otherwise…”
Paang!
Kate, who was still speechless, involuntarily rushed forward. The speed that really suits the word blink of an eye.
“I will smash your head.”
At that moment, Kate had already reached Clark’s front.
The mace, held firmly in both hands, is raised from the bottom up to break the jaw.
Before long, the tip of the mace touched Clark’s chin.
Boo-woong!
Clarke took a step back and avoided it. It was avoided with minimal movement without blocking.
[anyway. Really…]
Clarke, avoiding Kate’s first attack, muttered, clicking his tongue. Meanwhile, Kate is preparing for a series without panicking.
[Because fanatics are in trouble because of this.]
huh-
Clark spit the cigar in his mouth on the floor. As the cigar falls to the floor, the ax he holds in his two hands slowly rises upwards.
Then, as the cigar hit the hard ground and bounced off the ash, Kate lifted the mace up as well.
The mace was wrapped in golden energy like a flame. Originally, the title given to her was ‘blue flame’, meaning blue flame.
However, due to the ever-increasing divine power, the flame gradually turned golden. Of course, its power must have doubled compared to before.
On the other hand, there was no trace of Clark’s old, toothless axe. It just looks like an ordinary ax as before.
On the surface, it would seem that Kate would have an advantage, but…
[You are immature.]
To Clark, he looked like a young man who couldn’t even properly capture his own strength.
Kwaang!!
Beat her up!!
