Episode 123. Battle for a saint (9)
The previous pope was in league with a high-ranking devil and hastily assumed the papacy… I definitely said that.
… It’s called Donggwiejin.
Before anyone could react, the Pope continued.
“Among the sacrifices, the most precious thing is the human soul. “If you sacrifice not just an ordinary soul, but the soul of someone like the Pope, you can achieve abilities that cannot be taken lightly, even if you are a high-ranking devil.”
– Holland.
I tried hard to think of the Pope’s name and called him. Are you planning on committing suicide?
Are you willing to sacrifice your soul?
“hahahahaha… “
The Pope smiled weakly and slowly increased his strength. White light flashed in his eyes.
[Were you the Pope? There are no talented people in the Goddess Church.]
Charon seems to have thought that the Holland Pope was just a moderately strong goddess.
[This is foolish. Offering one’s soul means giving up reincarnation. Even after you die, you will belong to Ishtania. It will become an unconscious plaything.]
Still, it seems scary to try to keep it in check.
Look. Aren’t the eyes of the half-man, half-horse directed at the Pope? He also felt the Pope’s resolve and change.
“Thank you for the explanation. “It’s better than becoming an old corpse of an evil spirit and being eaten until it explodes.”
The Pope just chuckled at Charon’s words.
Lake seized the opportunity and grabbed the half-man, half-horse man by the waist. He nimbly climbed up the rampaging demon’s body and strangled him.
No matter how many times they cut it with the meteor sword, it didn’t work, so they are trying to strangle it.
Sigh!
I don’t know if it’s possible to kill him by strangling him, but thanks to Lake’s ability to hold on to the half-man, half-horse, all the arrows he shot at the Pope missed.
I also used all the drums I had to hinder Charon and the zombies.
At best, it was only the area of the healing totem and Malak.
The Pope’s sacrifice… He couldn’t be purely happy. I just accepted it because I couldn’t think of any other solution other than this.
I’m sorry I couldn’t save you.
“Unfortunately, I did not learn offensive techniques like the previous Pope. At most, it exudes divinity. If you were an ordinary demon, just releasing divinity would be a huge blow. That demon has become a zombie and is under the control of a necromancer, so it may be difficult to see a good effect… “
– Grant divinity to Lakhe.
I can’t explain it logically, but I have a strong feeling that this will work.
Lakhe is a demigod. Since the ‘potential explosion’ has enabled him to control his divine abilities to some extent, he may be able to accept divinity.
First of all, you have to believe that. Anyway, it’s a judgment call.
If the divinity given by the Goddessists is not compatible with Lakhe, there is nothing we can do about it.
The Pope, whose body has turned cloudy, looks at Laquet.
“I will infuse you with divinity.”
The white light flowing from the Pope’s body is absorbed by Laquet. The yellow energy that lightly enveloped her fist spreads throughout her body.
[You!]
The rapid fire of the half-man, half-horse began, but it was unable to hit the already blurred pope.
“This is terrible. “I can’t believe we have to take down dozens more of those guys.”
The Pope’s eyes slowly close as he looks at the half-man, half-horse.
High-ranking devil. Did you say there were over 70 of them? That was the case with close-range spy Fishallo.
Ha. There’s still a long way to go. Still, I believe that it will be much easier once you get the reincarnation.
“It might be a good idea to leave now. Even if it was a bit like that in his later years, he devoted himself all this time, so the goddess won’t look at him negatively, right? Ha ha ha.”
This was the Pope whose body disappeared and only his voice remained. His voice was like a distant echo.
Does the soul remain for a while?
“I went through a lot of trouble sitting in a place that wasn’t suitable for the fountain. Malak, please take care of the rest.”
The voice slowly becomes quieter.
Words like ‘I’m sorry’ or ‘I have no shame’ will only give you anxiety. However, you seem like a very passionate teenager who says, ‘I will definitely save the earth.’
– Pope Holland. It was a lot of hard work. Take a good rest.
He had no choice but to speak trustingly and quietly.
From Noble mtl dot com
“…Yes.”
Holland’s presence completely disappeared.
Thank you, I won’t forget. Holland.
I tried hard to shake off my sadness and focus on the situation. Let’s put off being sad until later.
Right now, all I can think about is victory.
[Even so, it is no use. Even if you are a demigod, you cannot accept divinity so easily. It will lead to self-destruction.]
The half-human, half-demon controlled by Charon twisted her body and shook off Lakhe.
Self-destruction? Because the child only speaks loudly.
[Lake’s Blessing ‘Totem Guardian’ blossoms into ‘Guardian of the Rain God’!]
[Lake’s Blessing ‘Explosion of Potential’ blossoms into ‘Reaching Potential’!]
Lakhe was promoted to 2nd dan.
Round 2 has begun.
Did you enjoy beating him? Let’s give it a try too.
After accepting the Pope’s divinity, Laquet landed softly and gathered his energy.
“Necromancer, you must be prepared.”
Lakhe, whose entire body was emitting golden light, pulled out his meteor sword with a confident expression.
The blade of the meteor sword and Lake’s eyes were shining with golden light, so strong that it reminded one of a legendary hero in a cartoon.
“Hot!”
Lakhe’s body moved like the wind.
Just like before, it was a half-man, half-horse trying to narrowly avoid it with incredible reaction speed, but this time, Lakke was faster.
Lake’s meteor sword rushed forward and cut off the left arm of the half-man, half-demon.
Charon’s red energy, or magical power, slowly moved to restore the zombie’s arm.
However, it seemed like he was having a hard time because of the golden energy of the lakhe that was secretly smeared on the cut area.
Chii Iik-!
It starts playing but doesn’t work. Okay, if we do this, we can win.
[I was just lucky. With my help, you can shoot an arrow with just one hand.]
I guess so. I know you’re embarrassed, so I’ll add one more thing.
– You always seem to be unlucky.
[Malak… !]
It is a national rule to open your mouth when you think you will win.
Charon, you must have done your best to explain. I remember everything.
You made a great sacrifice and summoned a high-ranking demon. You thought you had won and spread information diligently, right? A guy who speaks so lightly always gets the turn of events.
Bang!
The rematch between the demigod, supported by the god of rain, and the demigod, supported by the necromancer, has begun.
The half-man, half-horse fires arrows to somehow widen the distance, and Lakhe charges menacingly to close the distance.
After a fierce fight between the beast and the hunter, one side emerged victorious.
“Uh… !”
Asha, who had recovered, was holding on to the feet of the half-man and half-horse. Asha didn’t wake up just at the right time.
I continued to give orders to Asha, pretending to focus on this battle while using other blessings. When it recovered enough to stand, I gave it the command to jump immediately, and it crawled slowly.
[Pfft… !]
Charon was in a hurry to gain control of Asha, but it was a meaningless struggle.
Even if Charon tries to take Asha’s initiative, he cannot take it. Because it was the body of an incarnation, the affinity(?) For me as a Loa was higher than for Charon, an evil spirit.
It was Charon’s defeat that only focused on Lakhe and me.
My concentration must have been blurred because I continued the battle while summoning high-ranking demon zombies and providing support from a long distance.
hahahaha!
The head of the devil, called the hunting god, spins in the air. She has the face of an ordinary human woman who looks somehow benevolent.
I don’t know why, but unusually, it was a demon in human form. Although she has often seen apes, this is her first time seeing humanoids.
Was he a demigod like Lakhe, who attained godhood and ascended to heaven? Looking at her lower body as a beast and upper body as a human, she seems to be of mixed race.
Well, this isn’t what’s important.
[Don’t think you won. My army is alive and well. Not only that, I am Loa’s… ]
– I told you before, there is no need to rush.
I cut off the guy who was trying hard to pretend to be calm.
[…]
– Have you lived too long for a human to become senile?
[Malak!]
The Pope died because of this bastard.
I can’t just send it to you. I’m going to try to be cool even if it means cursing.
– If I had waited patiently, I would have found it without difficulty… You’re the one who made a mistake, Charon.
[How dare you lecture me?!]
– Wash your neck thoroughly. I’ll come visit you soon.
Since I was seriously injured this time, I will be stuck in Dubenheim for a while.
All you have to do is get the reincarnation before it gathers its strength again. Or not… You could use another method.
[Oh, I’ll be waiting. Whenever… Wow… !]
Along with Charon’s painful screams, the half-human, half-demon body turned into ashes and disappeared.
It seems like being reverse summoned is quite painful. Shame on you.
“Malak. “I won.”
Lake shook off his sweat- and blood-soaked hair and grinned at the sight of Totem No. 3.
The golden energy surrounding her body slowly dispersed.
– Well done.
I forced myself to chew and swallow her words, ‘It would have been difficult without the Pope’s sacrifice.’ Lakhe is happy.
Let’s not break the mood.
-Let’s go check on her saint.
… I guess I should tell her about her Pope too. How should I say it?
