84. Vengeful Demon
“Ugh, huh, huh…”
The sound of footsteps echoes in the quiet alley.
With the sound of my breath rising to the tip of my chin.
Tad-dad-
Stamina drawn from the waist down.
I fell and rolled several times, and each time, I got up and ran away again without even shaking myself off.
What is he running away from?
Why is this so desperate?
The reason was the red epaulet he wore on his shoulder.
A senior member of the revolutionary army.
One of the confidants directly selected by the Cleric.
It was a medal until yesterday, but
Now it is nothing more than a stigma.
Rumbling-
A faintly audible roar.
He turned his head and looked at the sky in the direction of the temple he had fled from.
Gwareung!
Toward the cloudless night sky,
The sight of lightning piercing backwards.
That place is hell.
A crazy nobleman and Scarlett holding lightning.
With Felia and her crew at the forefront, they began a purge called ‘epaulette hunting’.
Once public sentiment was ignited, it could not be reversed.
It is too late to turn back.
The only person who can bring all of this back to its origins is their leader.
Cleric.
I have to report to her.
The lives we saved by running away without looking back must be exchanged for the normalization of the situation.
Because that is the only way to survive.
Taddadak-
He arrived just before my heart exploded.
A shabby warehouse visible in the distance.
“Cleric!”
Let’s fall down at her entrance and call out to her,
Soon the warehouse door opens.
“…What is it?”
Her eyes looked like she was looking at trash on the floor, but there was no time for her to feel insulted.
“Heo-eok… A temple. We have to go to the temple…!”
“Temple?”
“The nobleman and Scarlett have been exposed. All of them! I’m killing anyone who sees these red epaulettes!”
“Ha, so you mean-“
She suddenly burst into laughter,
She squatted down and she made eye contact with him.
The madness inside the black pupils took my breath away.
“The members gathered there completely believed in the nobleman who crawled in from outside and the scarlet horse that ate up to him. Huh?”
“No, there’s one more…!”
Suppress your panting heart as much as possible,
I spoke the three letters of that name.
“Pelia. Pelia is over there…!”
“……”
Sweet-
She woke up quietly.
She rolled her eyes as if thinking about something, and within a few seconds her answer came back.
“…You really seem to know everything. How big of a person is he that he even knows about Felix?”
“…”
“Well, I get it roughly. It’s better.”
What did go well?
Her alley is about to collapse.
But soon he finds out.
First, the sound of footsteps from behind.
From Noble mtl dot com
“It’s over there! Catch that bastard and kick him!”
“It also comes with a cleric…? Nice to meet you!”
The presence of numerous crew members who had been following him.
Among the orphans that they and the Cleric sold to the church, there are their blood relatives.
In one word,
They can’t see anything right now.
But, the cleric is extremely calm.
Rather than being embarrassed, he activated that ability.
“In the end, everyone gathered at the temple, right?”
Her unique ability.
No matter where you look in the world, you cannot find someone with the same ability. A skill that is like power.
Non-supporting position-
The tattoo on my neck shines,
Something is created in empty hands.
The shape is elongated vertically,
It began to shine even brighter.
“Slowly, the circuit was stabilizing.”
He realized.
What abilities did the cleric consume?
What was reproduced in her hands,
The lightning that caused him to escape from the temple.
Cleric,
It is a perfect replica of Scarlett.
And, the first target that the tip of the spear is aimed at is.
Gwareung!
The crew is running for their lives.
These were revolutionary soldiers who were like her family, who once trusted and followed her like their own flesh and blood.
“I just happened to have the perfect target.”
Quaaang!
The lightning she threw hit right in the center of them-
“Quaaa!”
The crew,
I literally blew it up.
When he saw that scene in person, he just did his best to calm his trembling body.
The formation was instantly destroyed.
However, there are still people alive.
“Ah, ugh…”
“Damn it…!”
The crowd exceeded twenty people, but
Five or six people are still lying on the floor, groaning, not completely dead.
They had completely lost their fighting ability,
Her hands shined again.
“Call the officers guarding nearby to come.”
“What about the armory?”
“…Hah. I guess my personnel selection was poor. I appointed someone like this as an executive.”
I grabbed his collar with my free hand,
A cleric who raises you to that level.
“Noble. Felia. Even Scarlett.”
“Hee, hee hee…!”
“I’ll kill them all, so bring the kids to clean up the temple. Understood?”
He got up straight away,
I started running in a panic.
To keep her orders.
The last thing he heard was,
Gwareung!
The sound of a javelin leaving her hand and completely crushing the lives of the remaining members.
“Scarlett…”
With anger and joy,
Dropping the names of old comrades.
It was only the cleric’s cold voice.
—
EJ.
It means to catch the enemy as the enemy.
No, is it a little different from this situation?
In the beginning, the general crew was close to the role of a good man,
The moment you realize the truth. They were servants who would not neglect what they had to do.
Until just a few hours ago,
There were three forces that blocked my path.
Cleric,
A small number of elite executives,
An incredibly large number of operators.
I solved two of them,
Now only the final battle remains.
“Scarlett.”
“Yes.”
“Now it’s time to end it.”
Her connection.
No, it’s an evil story that has suddenly become horribly twisted.
It is time to put an end to this story.
All the way in front of the temple door,
Me and I were watching this scene of madness.
Scarlett, along with Pelia, took down the executives who were rushing to capture us.
We started moving forward towards the same place.
Toward the corner of the road where a scared guy ran away, waving his red epaulettes.
Tub-
“Where are you going…!”
An executive holding my hand and raising a weapon.
However, I couldn’t take it down as is.
Quaak!
The crew immediately attacked him.
Beliefs make people half crazy,
Anger removes hesitation from its madness.
“Let go of this! Let go of this, throw it away-“
“Cut off this bastard’s tongue!”
“I won’t kill you gracefully, you bastard…!”
Officers are much stronger than operators.
But, that’s also a story about when ordinary crew members sacrifice themselves.
Even if he is broken or stabbed somewhere, the wild dogs attack him without hesitation.
They grabbed him and dragged him into the temple.
So we,
In this place where enemies were everywhere.
Without any physical loss,
I was able to walk out on my own two feet.
And then, there is one person walking behind us.
“…Pelia.”
Although I am staggering,
Eyes sharper than ever.
She asked quietly.
“Are you going to kill the cleric?”
Although we are communicating through language,
It seemed clear that he was half crazy.
The moment she says yes, she will go ahead of us and kill her brother’s enemy.
You will encounter the Cleric before us.
Speciality of the back alley and her unique skills.
It created a synergy strong enough to annihilate priests in the blink of an eye,
The opponent is the owner of the stigma.
He is the agent of original sin pointed out by Arca.
Under all those premises, I answered.
“Yes.”
“…Okay.”
How will Pelia act?
What will happen if you encounter a cleric?
Even though I knew all that, I insisted.
I intend to fight alongside Scarlett,
I can’t get along with Pelia.
I don’t have any experience with matching, and it’s a style that has a lot of merit.
It may be a minus, not a plus.
So, it’s cruel.
This was the best.
Even if she is defeated, she will not go helpless,
Because I know the laws of this world.
There is a villain who deserves to die,
There are heroines who should not die.
And, Pelia.
“…Thank you for letting me know.”
A role that does not belong to any of them.
…Just a competent minor character who could die.
I want to slightly increase the odds of victory in the boss battle that Scarlett and I will face soon.
I ‘used’ my older sister who lost her younger brother.
The aftertaste was bitter.
Tad-dad-
She runs away and disappears in an instant.
Scarlett held her hand and gave her a look in her eyes that seemed to show concern for her.
I tried to ignore it.
And, at the same time, I realized.
“…Scarlett.”
“Yes. I’m listening.”
Maybe the reason I made this decision is.
It’s not like a gamer’s self-interest.
The probability that Scarlett goes wrong,
I guess it’s because I want to lower it even a little.
I had that thought, though.
“…It’s nothing.”
He also tried his best to ignore it.
—
I didn’t talk to anyone,
I did not receive any help.
Pelia was that kind of person.
Maybe she was born with something stuck in her heart, it was her nature.
Her back alley is a lonely place,
Among them, she was special.
Deep-rooted human distrust.
The belief of not being indebted to anyone.
She was like that, but
Her miraculous coincidence struck her.
‘Felix…?’
I could recognize it at a glance.
My younger brother was separated from me when I was young and was sold somewhere.
That blood relative, after turning around, came back here again.
She lived only protecting herself,
Because she has someone to prioritize over that.
‘hehehe, brothers. It’s been a while since I’ve eaten something, but you don’t think that’s just your mouth, do you?’
‘Hey, this dog… You might actually not be able to wake up from sleep. Know?’
‘Hey, please take a look. You saved me from being chased by debt collectors last time. ‘Did you forget?’
‘…Tsk. ‘Take it in moderation.’
I helped as many people as possible,
I developed a habit of burdening them with debt.
What I received as a result,
She poured it all out for her younger brother.
I don’t mind being pointed at.
Even when I was criticized openly, I just shrugged it off.
‘Sister, what is all this? ‘Where did you get it?’
‘Don’t you know how resourceful this sister is? Eat slowly.’
‘Yes, yes! ‘Eat it too!’
‘I already ate. If I eat more, my stomach will explode.’
‘Ahh, so shameless!’
The cleric was resourceful.
I don’t know her true circumstances, but thanks to her, spring has come to her alley.
Materials that are abundant.
The enormous backbone of the denomination.
More than having to worry about making a living,
The fact that Felix was able to escape from here became even more daunting.
I have a debt to my revolutionary friends that I will have to repay for the rest of my life.
He claimed to be an honorary member and helped them.
And then, before long.
‘Sister, can’t I see you anymore?’
‘Write. That’s why a prospective priest uses it. If you pray hard, my sister will visit you in your dreams.’
‘Really? Are you really going to come?’
‘Of course. ‘Should I listen to the priests?’
‘Yes!’
Her wish came true.
From Noble mtl dot com
Felix went out of this hell,
He regained the life he deserved.
It should have been so.
It was deserved that way.
If a man called God even pretends to look down on us from the sky.
At least, it couldn’t be like this.
She sent her brother away that day,
What he left behind. Just a handful of hair.
Now, I don’t want to take on any more debt.
To her younger brother,
To him who told me the truth.
So, now is the time to pay back.
To them both at the same time.
“…Cleric.”
You can tell just by the silhouette.
She was bright-eyed at night.
Kill that devil here,
Create a state that is at least close to that.
With this, I will be able to repay at least some of the debt I owe to that noble friend.
And…
“Pelia. Where did you sell the two of you who were so close to each other, and why did you come running alone?”
Because I don’t want to remain an ugly older sister to her younger brother anymore.
Because I promised.
Bijijik-
A strange shape that forms within the cleric’s grasp.
It eventually took shape,
It was the lightning that Scarlett held.
Pelia is weaker than Scarlett.
And, she is probably weaker than a cleric.
But, what does that have to do with anything?
“If you have anything to say, say it now. I’m tired of babbling right before you die.”
There was nothing left for her.
I have only one thing to say.
“You.”
“……”
Felix.
My younger brother, who cannot be compared to anything in the world.
Just wait a moment.
“I touched the wrong person.”
