I see your code (208)
“… … If you’re a beast priest… … Are you talking about Defiti-sama’s servant, Lucard?”
The baron’s eyes, who had continued to be friendly, were filled with vigilance for a moment. He looked at me quietly for a while and then asked calmly.
“It’s not someone you can meet, but you deserve it. But what about meeting him in person? I’ve never heard of a religion in those who succumb to it.”
“As I said, it is a bit of a personal thing to talk about. But don’t worry. Anything that harms you… … Probably not.”
When I changed the word while I was speaking, the baron stared at me for a moment with absurd eyes. But as soon as he thought of what he was thinking, he sighed and stepped aside.
“okay. Unless you’re religious. I’m sorry. Sometimes, among humans, there are people who come and make a fuss, saying that Deppity-sama will not be accepted.”
“I understand too.”
I said nothing and went inside. This is because we had anticipated this situation from the beginning.
Rather, it is good enough. In the game, there are cases where the moment you reveal that you have come to meet him in a human body, you will immediately go into battle with the guard. If that hyena hadn’t come with this mindset, it would have been cut sooner.
Anyway, after hearing the location of the temple from the good-natured baron, I went straight to it. And soon after, he discovered a building that was quite different in style from that of a human. Would you say it’s like a big hut? Upon entering, a priest with bear ears approached and made an impression.
“Shut up, human. We do not welcome you.”
That sounds like a great welcome. It’s the first time I’ve received such a response, so I’ll come back one more time, even if it’s just out of curiosity.
I shrugged and spoke politely.
“I am not here for religious reasons. There is no god I believe in.”
“… … Don’t you believe in a god? Is that possible?”
“It’s kind of special. Anyway, I mean, I didn’t come here to argue.”
Priest Bear looked at me suspiciously and then folded his arms. With that size and that tone of voice, he’s not a priest, he’s just a thug.
“It’s hard to believe, but if you’re not really here to quarrel, I apologize first. But then, for what purpose did you come to our temple? I don’t think you want to go to school.”
“I came to see the Apostle. Is it possible?”
“Do you think it will?”
I thought you would say so. I immediately presented the chieftain’s badge to the bear priest. He looked at it and frowned slightly.
“… … Were you the one who cut the calamity? Hopefully we’ll meet here… … .”
“Did you know?”
“… … It’s the same for ordinary people, but it’s a particularly popular name for us priests. A person who faced God directly and received the power of an apostle without an apostleship.”
It wasn’t you who asked the question, it meant that you knew that I had been given the position of chieftain… … . Well, either way, it just makes sense.
I was about to ask for a meeting once again by gently inserting the token, but Priest Bear raised his hand and stopped it.
“I have nothing else to say. I will guide you right away.”
“… … Is that okay?”
When I asked in amazement at the sudden change of attitude, he said with a gentle nod of his head.
“Apostle Lucard was also very curious about you. I used to say it like a habit of wanting to meet you someday if I have the chance.”
Priest Bear said so, and immediately turned around without giving me a chance to open my mouth.
“Then follow me. If you are a little late, you may not be on time.”
“Yes.”
What the hell is wrong with the time?
I followed Priest Bear meekly, even with such a question in my mind. I hope we will know when we meet.
* * *
“… … .”
Priest Bear said he might not be on time, it wasn’t as big of a deal as he had imagined.
I knocked and there was no answer, so I opened the door at first, and a man who looked about twenty years old was sleeping. Apparently, there was a separate nap time.
Well… … This wasn’t in the settings. I came here recklessly, so I can’t complain.
I’m comfortable thinking I’ll just have to wait, but Priest Bear’s reaction was a bit dramatic. He suddenly took a deep breath, then put his forehead on his forehead and exhaled.
“… … You are one step late.”
It’s as if the world has lost its voice. Is this such a big deal?
“Won’t you wake up in a little while? I can wait an hour or two.”
“It’s a problem because it won’t be over in an hour or two. It’s not a nap, it’s just a nap. You probably won’t wake up until tonight.”
… … sleep? at this hour now?
When I checked the car window, the sun was still in the middle of the sky. Usually, it’s the right time to spend the day steadily.
Did he have any setting of being nocturnal?
I looked at Lucard’s piercing ears and asked Priest Bear.
“Wasn’t he a dog? I know dogs are active in the morning.”
Priest Bear made a bewildered face at my question.
“If you are talking to Lucard-sama, don’t say such words. Because that’s what I hate the most.”
“Isn’t that a dog breed?”
“That person is an Inrang tribe. It has nothing to do with dogs.”
Inrang tribe. sounds like a wolf So, doesn’t it have a lot to do with dogs? About the level of about 4 inches.
For a moment, I had such a question, but I quickly passed on it as if it was just that. It may seem trivial to humans, but it could be a huge difference to others. Like sleeping during the day.
Rather, it is a little more difficult to do this. I came here because I was busy with my car, but I couldn’t pass the day in vain.
I asked after thinking a little.
“I know it’s rude to the subject I came up with, but could you please wake him up for a moment? I have to go back to Layton by tomorrow.”
“… … Actually, waking up itself isn’t much of a problem. I mean, you’re not even that nervous. Even if I wake you up for personal reasons, you will understand me easily.”
That being said, it means that there is another problem in the end. As I was about to ask what it was, I immediately remembered one of the many characteristics of the beasts.
“Are you having a hard time sleeping?”
“That’s right.”
Priest Bear scratched his head and sighed again.
“I tried to wake him up several times in the past, but every time he attacked the person who woke him up. Of course, it’s never intentional… … .”
“Anyway, attacking is the problem.”
“right.”
He lowered his scratching hand and looked at me.
“Besides, that person’s abilities are second to none, but only his own abilities are almost first-class. At least in our temple, no one can hold out until he wakes up.”
“Well… … .”
exactly. It is because there are few appearances in the main story, but in terms of specifications, he must have been a strong player who reached the top level. No matter how much attack he did while he was sleeping, it wouldn’t be negligible.
I pretended to be worried and asked again.
“Then is it okay if I wake him up once? At least I have the confidence to hold on until I wake up.”
“You?”
Priest Bear crossed his arms and groaned for a while, then nodded.
“If you are confident, you will be fine. If only half of the rumors I’ve heard about the slayer are true, that’s fine. But how are you going to wake him up? You may be attacked the moment you touch it.”
“That’s the way.”
After answering confidently, I walked over to Lucard’s side and whispered a small word in his ear. and the next moment. He abruptly got up and shouted loudly.
“I’m not a dog!”
Koo!
Without any further action, the battle began immediately.
* * *
The bear priest, Hamel, looked at the battle with shining eyes. The attack that started with Lucard’s shout was easily blocked by that human arm called Rian.
Hamel, who was watching the workshop that followed, burst into admiration inside.
‘It seems that the title of slicing disaster is not a lie. If you look at your skills, you must be above the Apostle.’
It was hard to believe. Lucard was only about twenty in appearance, but his actual age was well over fifty. On the other hand, as I heard, didn’t that human being in appearance and inside match?
‘It’s the highest level of second-class skills at that age. I’m afraid of the future.’
Even the realm I’ve seen is only level 3, isn’t it? If he continues to grow like that, there will be no one who can stand against him except for that human named Dante.
‘Why doesn’t a single person like that appear in the Union? … .’
I let out a sigh of regret, but in fact, Hamel also knew. It’s not that they’re lacking, it’s that those two people are so out of line.
Comparing him to monsters and kicking his tongue is a priest… … No, it’s not something an adult would do.
He made up his mind and smiled bitterly. It is a pity that it is regrettable, and the reason is because I thought that I should make a proper judgment.
But for a while.
As Lucard’s body was pushed away by Rihanna’s attack, his expression changed for an instant. It wasn’t his fault for worrying about Lucard.
‘You’re not waking up as much as you think… … .’
Normally, it’s time to wake up. His face deepened.
‘… … After all, wouldn’t he use the power of an apostle?’
It has only happened once in decades. What Lucard did his best during his sleep talk. Then how did it happen… … . His complexion hardened for a moment as he thought deeply.
‘… … Surely he didn’t do it because he heard his father called him a dog?’
That’s probably right. The very next day, there was a commotion as they sold family registers saying they were babies that even their parents couldn’t recognize.
‘… … It was about that when I heard my father called me a dog, but what would happen if I heard a person I didn’t know called me a bastard?’
Hamel had been trying to use his imagination for a long time, but there was no need. Because the result was already about to unfold right before my eyes.
“I… … .”
Lucard, who was being pushed back little by little, suddenly stopped and bowed his head.
“The dog… … .”
Simultaneously with the murmur, countless numbers of weapons protrude from the surrounding air. This is the power received as an apostle of Depiti, the god of the created different races. creation of inanimate objects.
Hamel’s complexion turned pale.
I don’t know if it’s possible with this skill alone, but even if you use the apostle’s ability, your opponent can’t survive the ‘disaster’.
He quickly regained consciousness and tried to wake Lucard, but it was a little late. Because he was already firing dozens of weapons containing divine power that he had created in that way.
Lucard, aware of the situation or not, shouted once more the moment the weapons were fired.
“I mean no!”
