103 – March
From noble mtl dot com
‘You bastard!’
At first, there was only anger.
How dare you ruin your own final ritual?
My blood boiled because I had missed the golden opportunity to rise from bishop to archbishop.
I wanted to tear the arrogant brat to death right away.
“Kill me…! “I will definitely kill you…!!”
So the bishop desperately gathered the power of other believers.
He desperately sucked in the demonic energy of believers who had not yet inhaled CS gas and were under mass hypnosis and absorbed it with his own power.
However, as the believers were reduced from thousands to only a few hundred, they were unable to absorb much power.
It was barely enough to boil the spider web wrapped around its body.
“It doesn’t matter. “You can’t take my hell energy!”
But still, the bishop was confident.
In the first place, the underground hell energy is energy that only you can handle.
Unsurprisingly, it was he who raped five virgins and injected them with demonic energy.
With the help of his own corrupted emotions and the wishes of thousands of believers, the anti-human energy conceived and grew inside the corpse’s body, which was hell energy.
Unless he was a cardinal of much higher rank than himself, no one else could handle the hellish energy generated by his own magic power.
In other words, you end up falling for your own tricks!
‘He’s probably a brat aiming for my position.’
Although this whole sudden incident was embarrassing, deep down, the bishop felt like he could understand the situation.
A demonic cult from another sect.
This cowardly surprise attack was planned by other sects who coveted their own power.
It’s not that it’s not, because each Demon Cult can inherit the demonic energy they have accumulated.
“Kill me…!”
So the bishop took his steps with an angry look on his face.
After quickly going down to the basement and mocking the guy who was whining because he couldn’t take the hell energy, he will show the difference by absorbing all the energy himself.
Then he will be able to painfully realize what mistake he has made.
“····Hmm?”
But then.
While moving quickly to the basement, Ed started to come up first.
It is likely that they gave up and came up because they could not take over the hell energy.
The corner of the bishop’s mouth twisted mockingly.
“Kkkkk! “You’re all my hellish energy…”
However, the bishop, who had been talking with a cheerful expression, ended up blurting out his words.
This is because a familiar energy emanates from the magic sword in Ed’s hand.
‘No, that is…’
No, it wasn’t just that.
The Crucible sword made by extracting only pure hell energy.
As soon as he saw that charming appearance, the bishop was convinced.
Ed’s ability to manipulate hell energy is not at a level he dares to surpass.
I was convinced that it was a level far beyond that of a cardinal.
【You won’t die comfortably. I will kill you by tearing each piece apart bit by bit】
While I was trembling at the sight of the hell energy completely absorbed, Ed began to approach me with angry steps.
The bishop showed off his power by spewing out magical energy in all directions, like a scared puppy barking even more fiercely.
-Whoop!
But the moment the Crucible was swung at him, the bishop’s momentum disappeared in an instant.
This is because I instinctively realized that the moment this magic sword got stuck, I would die in an instant.
“Ahhh!”
The bishop who tried to confront Ed immediately turned his back.
Having completely lost his fighting spirit, he decided to use his remaining strength to run away.
Devil’s wings sprouted from his wing bones and began to flap hurriedly.
-Key—eee! Pow!
However, Ed had several means of stopping him.
Genetically modified spider web on repulsor beam.
Even three-dimensional mobility device.
All of them were shot at the bishop, tearing off his wings and trapping him on the ground, rendering him unable to function properly.
In the end, the bishop who failed to escape had no choice but to look back at the approaching Ed and scream.
“Quaaa! aaah! “Get out!”
【Only because of your twisted desires!】
-Squeak!
“Ugh—aaa!!!”
【Thousands of innocent people fell into the devil religion.】
“Ugh! Off!! Kwaaa!”
【I will give you as much pain as the pleasure you enjoyed.】
-Squeak!
“aaah! aaa!!!”
The bishop’s screams echo throughout the place.
The reason he cried out in such pain was because of the Crucible’s ability.
This sword, created solely to slaughter demons, had the function of offsetting the demon’s excellent regenerative ability.
No matter how good a demon’s regenerative ability is, if it gets cut by the Crucible, it will die of shock from the pain while trying to regenerate its body.
“Ugh! Wow!! aaah!!!!”
Bubbles were bubbling from the bishop’s severed ankle and wrist.
The demonic energy in the body somehow tried to restore the body, but each time it clashed strongly with the Crucible’s hell energy, causing inflammation.
And that inflammation causes tremendous pain.
Pain that no sane person can bear.
“Keuuu..”
Soon the bishop began to roll his eyes, foaming at the mouth.
No matter how much magical energy was poured into the wound, the wound did not heal, and the demonized body returned to its original state, returning to the body of a small old man.
The crazy pain could only be stopped by becoming human.
【It won’t be difficult if it ends here.】
However, Ed had no intention of letting the guy go like this.
Ed, who awakened the bishop’s consciousness with a healing scroll, gave him an injection containing magic liquid.
Then again, bubbles began to bubble up from the cut surface, and the bishop began to scream.
“Kuuu! Lord, kill me…! Cha, it would be better… Lord, kill me…!”
【Why me?】
-Joowoowoouk…
“Ugh!! “Kwaaa…)––––?
【This is the Magi you wanted. I should become an archbishop.】
“Kuhok! Uh-uh uh · · · · · · · · · · ···
Ed tortures the bishop by controlling the water level until he dies of shock.
The bishop came close to death from shock several times and then was revived.
The bishop, whose spirit was so destroyed, cried out for mercy, but each time Ed just laughed.
【Come to think of it, I didn’t even know your face.】
At that time, Edgar punched Bishop in the face and broke the red mask.
As soon as the broken pieces were removed, the sight of an old man covered in tears and bleeding from the nose was revealed.
It was an unfamiliar face.
【He’s someone I don’t even remember. At best, the archbishop level is the limit.】
In the latter half of the game, Ed has been fighting to the death with numerous demonic cults.
That is why Ed did not remember each of the enemy’s faces.
If he knew the face, it meant that he was a guy who could grow up to be a cardinal.
【Has my territory been ruined by this worthless guy?】
It’s still the early stages of the game, but the red-masked bishop has grown in power to devour his territory.
So I thought he was a guy who could do anything, but he was just an extra.
He took off his mask thinking he had caught a big catch, but the result was a disaster.
【I’m pissed.】
Ed was angry and pushed the magic energy into the bishop’s body until the end.
I looked at the screaming guy and spoke in a dry voice.
【Blow the congestion. Let’s find out why they planned this and who gave them this power. Then I will kill you with a little less pain.】
***
In the end, Ed did not keep his promise.
He was tortured so severely that he died in extreme pain until the very end.
Originally, I had planned to kill him after making him suffer for a few more days, but I accidentally delayed healing and ended up dying of shock.
When the bishop on the altar died in terrible pain, the surrounding Satanists had already lost their will to fight.
When the bishop who was revered like a god died so cruelly, there was no way he would have any fighting spirit.
【If you run away, I will cut off your intestines one by one with a chainsaw.】
But I couldn’t run away.
This is because they were threatened with punishment if they ran away.
It was just a word, but for those who were overwhelmed by Ed, it was like a barrier that could never be broken.
All they could do was tremble in fear and watch as the bishop died in agony.
“Dad, you managed to survive.”
At that time.
Sophie, who was looking at Ed, spoke to Greek.
Greek, who was looking at the bishop with a shocked expression, swallowed his saliva and slowly nodded.
Even such a beautiful, fair, and kind lord was no better than a devil to the Devil Cult.
Wasn’t he convinced from the beginning that he too was the Duke of Hell?
-Sigh.
At that time.
Edgar, who was chopping up the bishop’s body, finally got up.
Then, he began to glance at the demonic believers who were trembling and looking at him.
His red eyes were shining even more sinisterly.
【······.】
-Poof.
But, that was all.
Shindo, who was trembling in fear that something might happen, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ed going down to the basement.
Soon, Ed came up from the basement holding the body of a woman.
Five bodies left in the basement.
However, the faceless body had found its own face.
Thanks to the bishop’s bad taste in storing his face in solution, the neck and face were connected using carbon nanotubes.
The naked woman’s body was wrapped in cloth.
-Jeobbuk····Jebok····
So Ed repeated the process of going down to the basement and coming up.
Every time, there was a woman in his arms who found her own face.
Eventually, after putting all the women on the altar, Ed lit the bishop’s body on fire and took off his helmet.
His sweaty face caught the eyes of the believers.
“······.”
The believers looked at Ed blankly.
The identity of such a cruel person was such a beautiful woman.
“Listen.”
At that time.
Ed’s voice filled with mana echoed throughout the area.
Shoot-aaa.
The wind blew and Ed’s hair blew.
Everyone focused their eyes on Ed as if they were fascinated.
From noble mtl dot com
“Look. This is your sin. These are your sins that cannot be forgiven by any excuse. You offered up an innocent virgin as her sacrifice. And I just watched as the body was violated.”
“······.”
Everyone bowed their heads.
Even though he was hypnotized by the bishop and unintentionally agreed to it, he was not unaware of what was happening.
When the rape was in full swing, I was in a daze as if I was wandering in a dream, but after the ritual was over, I could clearly see the headless body of the woman lying in disarray.
However, even though he knew that fact, he hated the nobleman so much that he could not give up his demonic power.
“The Salvation Church you belong to is that kind of religion. It is a sinful religion that dismantles the virtue and order that humans have built up and uses it as nourishment. If you had continued to fall for this religion, you would have become monsters without even realizing it. In order to gain power and pleasure, one ends up committing acts that are below that of an animal. “Like a bishop who died by my hand.”
Everyone looked at the body on the altar with a solemn heart.
As Ed said, the woman’s corpse was a symbol of a sin that could not be excused by any words.
I just don’t have a way to relieve the hatred that fills my heart.
I’m afraid of going back to being a weak commoner again.
So, I turned a blind eye to this unimaginable act of immorality as a human being.
Even though he knew that the religion he was a member of was distorted, he turned a blind eye to it.
“But I will not punish you who were bystanders. “Because I know very well that you have endured unfair suffering.”
Ed said this and looked at the bishop’s body.
And began to announce the truth about it to everyone.
The bishop’s name is Crote.
He was the head butler who served the former lord Arjie.
The evil that bloomed inside him started from all the injustice and corruption that Arjie did not hesitate to commit.
Young Ji-min is imbued with the ideology of treating dogs, pigs, and slaves.
“He was terminally ill.”
Then an incurable disease came upon him.
And from then on he began to hear the devil’s whispers.
His desire to survive at all costs reached the devil.
Afterwards, he wanted to enjoy eternal life and became obsessed with the devil religion.
He sacrificed innocent people, killed his only brother, and turned the entire mansion into a den of demonic religion.
In the first place, all the vassals working in Arjie’s mansion were blinded by desire, so it was not a task to turn the entire mansion into a demon.
“The day when Lord Arjie was executed in the Dwarf Kingdom and all of his relatives were reduced to slavery. This guy lost control of the territory. “He wielded power as the lord’s agent until a new master came.”
Afterwards, Deacon Crote deliberately devastated the territory.
He incited the public and encouraged hatred so that the devil religion could spread.
Exorbitant taxes were imposed so that even middle-class residents could become refugees.
At the same time, vassals who had become followers of the Devil Cult were dispatched to help the Devil Cult take root.
The spread of the devil’s religion, disguised as the ‘Salvation Church’, was instantaneous.
-Key—eee!
At that time, a bright light came on from Ed’s repulsor.
With the unique high frequency sound of the repulsor ringing out, Ed opened his mouth.
“I guess you get the idea now. Crote’s vassals are hiding everywhere among you. “It is they who incited hatred and hatred and led you down the path of sin.”
Ed said that and started walking.
With so many people looking up to him, Crote’s vassal began to tremble and shed tears.
Soon, one of the guys couldn’t stand it anymore and instantly turned his body into a demon and started running away.
“I will punish them. As the lord of this land—”
-Crash. Churrr
【We will establish a new order.】
In an instant, Ed, equipped with a helmet, took aim at Crote’s spy who was running away.
Soon a flash of light struck the spy’s back.
The spies, sensing a crisis, began to flee simultaneously.
-Paaat!
But it was difficult for them to run away from Ed, who had three-dimensional mobility and web shooters.
They were all subdued in less than a minute.
Soon, one of the nine spies trapped on the altar began to cry out in tears.
“Sin, sin, sorry…. “Well, everyone… Crote ordered it…”
-Scream!
However, excuses were useless.
Ed cut off their arms and legs with a crucible and left them to die in agony.
They all screamed horribly and died with foam in their mouths.
“······.”
And the people of the territory watched the whole scene.
With clenched fist.
They saw the culprit who had plunged their lives into abyss die in pain.
That alone made me feel like the anger I had been holding in for a long time was being relieved.
“Now is the time to put an end to the past.”
At that time.
Ed took off his helmet again and looked around at everyone and said that.
With everyone staring at Ed with burning eyes, he continued.
“Stand up on your own. Pick up any weapon, whether it’s farming tools, kitchen utensils, bamboo spears, or anything else, and march with me to the former lord’s mansion. Kill all those who exploited your hard work, and tear down the castle built through evil karma. “On this ruined land, I will build a new castle.”
The residents of the territory, who were trembling in fear, began to stand up one by one.
Many of the residents of the territory, filled with excitement, shed tears and clenched their fists.
They all looked at the beautiful face of the lord who would establish a new order in this land.
“It is a revolution. “For today, feel free to trample on the lord’s castle.”
With those words, Ed put on his helmet.
And then, standing in the front row, he began to walk slowly.
-Chuck. Chuck. Chuck. Chuck.
Thousands of troops began marching in Ed’s footsteps.
And so begin the Cult of Fix.
