“ Please! Please save my child.”
A ring worn on each finger and clothes made of fine fabric. Thanks to the scent of high-quality perfume and good nutrition, his shiny skin showed how wealthy the middle-aged man was.
But death is fair to unbelievers.
No matter how much money was poured into the temple to receive treatment, it was inevitable that the vitality leaked out due to the innate weakness of the body, not the illness or wound that occurred in a short period of time.
“This child has never really jumped since he was born. I’m trying to be too cynical. What’s wrong with this kid… … .”
The man crouched down and wept. In her arms was a thin, feeble child, already dead, with her limbs hanging loosely.
Only the face was powdered, white as if it were alive, and the cheeks were rosy, as if sleeping, but the fingertips and exposed ankles were blue.
“this… Didn’t I tell you that from the beginning?”
If you believe in our living God, there’s nothing left to be happy about.
In the middle-aged man’s ear, someone wearing a robe lowered his head and whispered.
“Why should I give money and faith to the gods of that proud pantheon? All that remains is this cold child.”
“Sorry, sorry! But I couldn’t believe it. Raising the dead doesn’t make sense.”
Tears flowed from the finely wrinkled eyes. Even a month, hundreds of gold went into the temple of the pantheon as an offering. Preference received with large offerings. Holy water and blessing and healing.
I thought they could make a child healthy!
“please… please.”
As the man cradled the child and begged for it, the man in the robe tilted his head to the side.
“but… Our God is generous and forgiving. If you are embraced by the Holy Spirit even now… … .”
The figure of the robe lightly touched the child’s cheek as if it were alive thanks to the powder.
The powder peeled off where his hands had passed, revealing a vaguely pale blue skin.
“Then let me show you the miracle of our living god.”
The gods of the pantheistic religion are dead.
It is nothing more than a phantom with a mouth, looking down from a high place without a shape and talking only.
Have you ever wondered why such a great god is dead?
“Follow me.”
“Thank you! Thank you. If only I could see my real child again… I can promise to do everything I can.”
The robed one walked out of the room with his back turned. After that, a middle-aged man got up with a child in his arms and followed closely.
“Magic like Resurrection is something even dragons can’t do often. Even the High Priestess of the Pantheon will have to shorten her own lifespan to do so.”
But the day after he died. If it’s a dragon, it should be done within three days.
“But hasn’t the child been dead for three days?”
Although the damage to the body was suppressed with magic, it was obvious that three days had passed since death.
The road from the place where the middle-aged man was to this place, the headquarters of the Holy Protestant Church, would take seven days, even assuming that he had boarded the gate.
In order not to find out where it is easily, people do not reach it well, there are no proper roads, and there are no small villages nearby.
Just out of desperation to save the child, he must have come to the headquarters of the Holy Protestant Church by chasing and chasing after a bond that had touched him like a single string.
“You are the one who came to receive a miracle.”
“Embrace the arms of the Holy Ghost.”
“Pray for our living God.”
Those who passed the robe’s figure and the middle-aged man all laughed and started talking.
Just like those who believe that even if the world perishes tomorrow, only they will survive and be happy.
The middle-aged man, who had been watching this with his eyes wide open, paused for a moment and laughed awkwardly along.
A group of fanatics.
But he was ready to throw himself into the vortex of fanaticism if they would spare his child.
What can you do if you can warmly hug a child who has already died a long time ago?
Even if the high priest of the pantheon came, even if he went to find the dragon, he could never be saved.
If only to destroy the common sense in this world that the best thing to do is not to get sick with magic.
Fanaticism will soon become common sense.
“Now be polite. Please do not raise your head and show me more respect and respect than the emperor.”
The innermost and largest gate of the Holy Protestant Church.
In front of the door, the middle-aged man bowed his head while holding the child.
A figure in a robe raised his hand to the huge door that seemed impossible to open even with anyone from the continent, and the door opened gently as if clouds were dispersing.
And the fragrant smell that blooms with tak.
A fragrance that seemed out of this world spread through the darkness.
The space was darkness and light, a chaos in which everything was mixed.
Property treasures scattered here and there.
Huge mana they burn up as they slowly burn out like a candle on a wick.
Even though the mana gathered together and was as dark as the night sky, looking into it filled the space with countless dazzling things.
and its center.
From noble mtl dot com.
Someone had risen in the air, devouring the mana emitted by the elemental treasures as they disappeared. And when that person opened their eyes, the radiance rose like fire and shook dizzyingly in the darkness.
“You are the Holy Ghost.”
Kneeling down from the entrance, I crawled in and the door closed behind me.
It was dark and luminous everywhere, as if you were drowning in the night sky, or as if you were walking on the surface of the water where the night sky was reflected.
“I will step in with faith toward you.”
Thanks to the high density of mana, his voice cracked with a hum as if he were talking underwater.
In the dark and bright space, the person floating in the center raised his hand and moved it slightly, and the child in the middle-aged man’s arms gave out a dry breath and convulsed.
As if confirming the integrity of the body from the tips of the fingers to the tips of the toes, a few small spasms followed, and then the gurgling breath died down, spreading evenly as if asleep.
It was the body of a child who did not feel cold or even warm as he held it in his arms, but the middle-aged man sobbed like a beast at the feeling of warmth gradually rising in his arms.
Seeing this, In-young, who was wearing a robe, stepped back from the man and remained alone in this space, bowing her head and opening her mouth.
“Have your memories been sorted out?”
At the man’s question, the man floating in the air slowly descended to the floor.
Hidden in darkness and invisible, but naked, wearing nothing.
He swatted his fingers together to gather mana, wrapped himself in something like a gown, and similarly gathered mana in the air and made it look like an invisible chair.
“Yet, it’s not urgent anyway.”
There was always a little variable. Memory is a high priority when there is something to contrast with.
“In the end, I just need to find all the power.”
beautiful voice. Thanks to the thick mana, it was hard to tell whether it was a woman or a man, shimmering in the darkness, and only the most beautiful sounds in the world were selected and refined.
“Kill useless things. Bring those who need it to me.”
He could ascend to the throne of the star right away, but the only reason he didn’t was to eliminate the only variable.
“Kill the more living ones. There was no need for worthless monsters or subhumans. Because they are already defeated.”
great victor. Every trivial life of the human race is suppressing my strength.
“It takes too much of my energy to hold on to this world. When are you going to bring all the sad news?”
Only the most necessary knowledge remains in the brain.
Things related to the Astral Throne. direction to go. Things like the location of the treasure.
If you want, you can swallow and absorb the memories that have been cut into small pieces because there are too many of them, but you don’t have to do that now.
“But wouldn’t it be comfortable to have your memories changed a little bit?”
“To have a lot of memories is to have a lot of thoughts. Now that I am training my body, this is enough.”
The darkness laughed as if there was no need to get wet with unnecessary emotions.
“Because the most perfect body has to bloom most perfectly.”
Hurry up and find the rest of the treasures.
After a moment of beckoning, the robed man belatedly realized that he was outside the door.
Looking at the huge door that was closed again, the figure of the robe placed his hand on the pattern of the Holy Protestantism engraved on the inside of the robe and slowly opened his mouth.
“All for our living God.”

contractor?
suddenly. here?
I looked at Levy’s smiling face and laughed.
“So, do you want me to do some sort of psychic?”
“huh!”
It’s so bright.
Levi’s illustrations, which are already noble, are not even a crumb left in my memory.
“So what is good about it?”
At my question, Levy tapped her chest with her short hand.
It was like konjac jelly.
“I can get magic stones from you. It’s just different from sheep. When you sign a contract, what the contractor gives you goes into a kind of contract continuity, so the efficiency is higher.”
Then it will take a little bit more time for me to awaken again. It was cute that he was flaunting it, so I looked at him blankly and smiled.
“What do I get?”
“You can use my power. Of course, controlling the mana of water and applying it in various ways would have to go through me.”
That I can do simple, small-scale healing or purification at my will.
“Tell me honestly, Levi. You can’t heal or cleanse.”
“huh!”
what the.
I laughed out loud. Looking at it, I knew I wanted Levi as a healer, but I’m not confident in controlling it, and I want to collect mana more efficiently.
Well, considering Levy’s ability, which he has seen often, it would be difficult to put heel in the right place in the midst of an urgent battle.
“I don’t know if it’s near the sea, but the further away I go, the more I have to go to the surface to conserve water mana. So it’s best to dwell on your things as a contractor. Besides, the object must be an artifact capable of withstanding my power.”
I touched my chin at Levi’s words, then took out the codex from the subspace and shook it.
“How about this?”
At my question, Levy blinked her big eyes and then laughed.
“It can’t be that much of an artifact. It’s like this because I’m before awakening, in fact, I’m very, very strong and great!”
I patted my chubby head when I saw him standing on the floor with his short legs and tail and raising both hands as if he was cheering.
Did you stick with Rachel too much?
I turned Kruger’s ring while looking at Levi and suddenly looked at my hand.
“This?”
He waved his ringed hand. Possibly the largest subspace artifact on this continent, imbued with blood magic.
“Is there such a thing?”
It wasn’t until I waved my hand, that Levy smiled like a sunflower when he saw the ring.
“good! Shall we make a contract then?”
“Previously.”
I opened my mouth and showed the palm of my hand before Levy rushed at me.
“You can heal Kane, right?”
“It has to be done by the contractor. Good job!”
I wiped my face at Levi’s words as he clasped his hands tightly.
