Episode 115. Battle for a saint (1)
“Old man, you know that you can’t take back what you say.”
Laque looked back at the Pope with a grim expression on his face.
The Pope’s eyes twitched slightly at the sight of the murder, but he soon regained his composure and put on a calm expression. He looked as if he was harmless and had no bad intentions.
Once he becomes Pope, he can resist even the murder of a demigod.
– It’s okay. Keep talking.
I’m sure you didn’t just say this to insult me. There is no reason to come all the way here.
Let’s listen first.
“I understand that when a living being born with strong spiritual abilities gains godhood and ascends to heaven, it is called a loa.”
Well, I guess that’s roughly correct. Jinmalak also went from an Imoogi to a dragon in the same way.
Isn’t it possible that guys like Tuga and Rakan were crab and wolf spirit creatures, but became Loa after being worshiped by barbarians?
– So?
“Devils are also such beings. They were revered in the world they originally belonged to. Oh, I’m not talking about lower or middle class. “The ones who came through the portal are high-ranking demons.”
The Pope continued by adding that the lower and middle classes are like henchmen or descendants of high-ranking devils.
“The world was currently on the path to decline due to the long rule and strife of gods called devils. In the end, it collapsed without being able to endure any longer. The gods lost their godhood and became mortal.”
Since the world has been destroyed, has he lost his godhood because he cannot find worshipers (believers)?
So, if I lose all my followers, don’t you think I will become mortal? This is dangerous.
– Did he become mortal because he lost all his followers?
He once made the excuse that he had lost a lot of his memories while descending to earth forcibly.
Even to me, he looks like a god I don’t know much about.
“That’s not it. Without believers, it will be difficult to exert influence on earth, but you will not lose your godhood. “I don’t know for sure, but I think he may have done something that could have lowered his status as a god.”
I see. Thank god.
The picture is drawn to some extent. The demons must have been plotting to invade another world in order to regain godhood.
The leaders of the empire didn’t even know that, but they called in these guys to push out her goddess Ishtania.
“Even though we have become mortal, that does not mean that our power and power have disappeared. Because we can now exert direct influence on the ground. “It is no exaggeration to say that they have become more threatening.”
Demons are those who fell from heaven with power comparable to that of a god. Although he is not immortal, he still wields transcendent power.
The high-ranking demons I saw in person were the dark cloud, the shadow, and the stingray that Charon rode around. None of them were capable of doing anything at the level of the inhabitants of this world.
Even Princess Dina, a level 8 paladin, did not catch a high-ranking demon solo. I don’t know much about close-range spies. Still, there was no mention of her catching it alone.
It was clear that there was a high-ranking devil in a realm that even the superhuman of superhumans could not trespass. It would be difficult to deal with them if they weren’t outside the standard, like Charon or me or a max-level paladin.
– Where did you hear that information?
“The saint is one who has received the divine blessings of the Goddess with her entire body, and she can see things that mere mortals cannot see.”
You heard it from a saint. There was one more reason to save her.
It will be a great help in completely ending the demons. It might even be possible to deal with Charon and other loas who are as dangerous as they are.
The treatment of the goddess Ishtania, who possessed me in this world… Let’s think about this later.
“Ah, this is right. “I’m sure.”
Our group arrived at the place where the saint’s hideout was located.
“There is another hidden space under that house. There… Oh my!”
Acrid smoke was creeping up from the house the Pope pointed to.
Oh, damn it. Are you late?
– Let’s go quickly.
Let’s go first. It has not yet been confirmed that the evolutionist school took the saint.
Everyone got off Taeun-yi’s back and entered the house. I also didn’t forget to be alert in all directions.
Lakhe found a secret space well hidden by a wall and went inside. A severely damaged lock comes into view.
“I don’t feel like I’m popular.”
– … Right.
It seems clear that the enemies attacked the saint’s hideout.
“It smells like a corpse.”
Lake said calmly.
The corpses of people wearing Shinto uniform were piled up in a large space where several people could live.
It appears to have been a space with its own infrastructure, but now there is only blood, dust, and smashed furniture. It looks like there was a very fierce fight.
“Oh, how did this happen? “It’s a place that only a few people know about.”
– Are there any saints? You are the only one who knows the face of the saint. Come to your senses.
He scolded the Pope who was deeply heartbroken. I also feel sad.
Still, you have to do what you have to do. In times like these, you need to cool your head.
“…I’m sorry. “I lost my composure.”
The Pope soon came to his senses and examined the body.
“Lydia, Lucia, Darius… Even Maria. I hope you go to a good place… “
The back of the Pope, sighing and looking at the faces of the believers, looks somewhat pitiful. Losing an acquaintance is something you can’t get used to.
“There is no saint.”
It seems that killing the saint and taking away her powers was not the goal of Charon and the Darwinist school.
Did you kidnap them to use them for experiments or something?
You shouldn’t feel at ease yet. They may be trying to kill him by taking him somewhere else instead of here.
“The saint is special. “Even though he doesn’t have superhuman strength, he uses abilities that even superhumans can’t use.”
The Pope took a deep breath, composed himself, and opened his mouth.
“This is not someone who will be gently taken away without resistance. “He must have left a mark somewhere.”
– Check the room.
“Yes!”
Lakhe, Paya, and the Pope are busy. I kept shaking my head.
What should we do if the saint has already been dragged to Charon? Would it be possible to fight and win against this guy without even being able to manifest?
This is the guy who was riding around on a high-ranking demon a few months ago. If you’ve tried it once, it’ll be easy the second time. Charon’s zombie army will continue to grow, so it is likely that it is several times stronger than the last time we saw it.
We must hope that those who captured the saint did not get far.
No, what are you praying for? I am a god, but who am I praying to? Under.
While I was calming down my sudden anger, the cloth that the Pope had touched sparkled.
“Uh, uh!”
As soon as the fabric sparkled, the Pope’s eyes were colored with pure white light. It was a bizarre sight, but somehow I felt a sense of reverence and sacred energy.
“…!”
– It’s okay. It is the power of Ishtania.
“Is that so?”
Lake pulled out his meteor sword and approached the Pope, so he stopped him. I heard he tries to solve everything with violence.
Well, in fact, if you have enough strength, most things can be solved with violence. There’s a saying that says if you don’t have strength, your brain will suffer.
Anyway, that’s not important right now.
– Pope Holland. Can you hear me?
“Hey, Malak. Yes, I hear you.”
My consciousness seems to be fine.
– Can you explain to me what the situation is now?
If you’re there fiddling with the fabric and your eyes are shining, I can’t figure it out, you old man.
“It seems like the saint put her consciousness here before she was taken away by these guys. You made it so that believers of the Goddess Church would react immediately upon contact.
Although I can’t see it, I can feel what happened at that time. The soldiers of the evolutionist school are attacking the believers… You can hear the sounds of indiscriminate slaughter. “I can even feel the blood splattering.”
To put it in modern terms, it seems to have the ability to record, so it was stored in fabric and then a recognition sensor was placed so that only the goddess bridge could be seen.
If you look at it like this, it’s just a recorded file with a password. If we interpret fantasy in the 21st century, does it somehow become shabby?
– Keep talking about what you see.
The Pope nodded and began broadcasting the video.
“The saint naturally touched the soldier’s body. Oh, not a soldier… I am the team leader who commands team 7. His thoughts and memories flow into the saint. Ah, maybe it’s because of this person’s eyesight, but I can see ahead. This man has no intention of killing the saint. He just heard the command to drag him in.

By the way, he reads his memories and reads his thoughts… I didn’t know that the saint had this ability. This is truly amazing. Ha ha ha… “
This is a complete stream of consciousness.
“You seem like a somewhat lacking person.”
Paya leaned towards Totem 3 and whispered quietly. I agree.
“I can see where the team leader started. Hmm. Hmm. “This is the home of the evolutionist school.”
He was the Pope who had already discovered important information.
Every time I see supernatural powers or magic, it’s amazing.
“It is protected by powerful magic. It’s a magic that distorts space, so it seems impossible to break through with force. At least this team leader thinks so. To enter, you need the help of a powerful wizard or a badge that only the team leader can carry.”
I have to go back to the cathedral and check if the reptilian captain I killed earlier has the badge.
