52 – #052 You Are Here
The Vatican actually played the same role as the base of the human union in the war against the demon army.
– You are safe in the Vatican!
Starting from the fact that the goddess summoned the warriors, it was a place where many people with divine power, the most effective way to deal with the demon lord’s army, gathered.
So many people gathered around the Vatican.
Even if the enemy invaded right in front of the Vatican, the Paladins who could intercept the enemy could come out and defeat the enemy within 10 minutes.
All they had was their body, but they had to live like refugees, but they all lived by relying on boards.

No matter how beggarly life was, I didn’t want to be killed by the demon king’s army.
After the demon king fell.
There were also people who wanted to return to their hometown.
With the determination to restore the abandoned and ruined land, he settled his life as a refugee near the Vatican and left with the hope that demons would no longer appear.
However, there were still many refugees left.
Even if they became poor, they still had fear of the demon king’s army, so they tried to survive under the protection of the Goddess Church.
And now, all of those people have turned into charred corpses on the floor.
“…….”
There is no time to hold a funeral for each one.
All the boards were burned and collapsed, the temporary buildings were burned without even the skeleton remaining, and the warehouses piled up with soil became a furnace and everything inside was cooked.
“Woo-wook.”
I’ve seen many deaths in the war against the demon king’s army, but the number of times that so many people have died is few and far between.
It is a mass murder.
At least hundreds of people were burnt to death from what I could see, and that’s the number of bodies I can see between the roads and buildings that come into my field of vision.
What if the area where the poor spread out around the Vatican drew a circle from the Vatican building, and the living quarters that stretched throughout the circle were all burned?
“…….”
It’s already too late to save people.
Every time I breathe, the smell of burnt bodies fills my nose with hot energy.
I grabbed the shovel spear, held my breath as much as possible, and headed for the main gate of the Vatican.
“…….”
The road to hell was spread out there.
Under the charred walls of the castle, the huge iron gate, firmly established, was open at an angle.
Could it be that you didn’t open the door because of an attack from outside?
From nob le mt l dot com
No.
The door was open.
The direction of the door was from the fully open state to the ‘closed’ direction.
“Crazy…”
All you can see is the dead bodies in front of the door.
Then, the corpses were piled up in front of the gate like a hill, and I couldn’t bear to step on them, so I jumped over the mountain of corpses and passed the gate.
Kwadeuk.
Something stepped on my foot.
A sensation full of discomfort is transmitted through the insole.
“…….”
Outside was the medicine department.
Inside the walls, which should have been completely white, inside the building of the Vatican, there was no place to set foot, and it was full of charred corpses.
If there was someone alive, I wanted to ask at least something, but if there was a machine or magic that could read the reactions of human life, I would say this.
-There are no living creatures around.
They are all dead.
Still, I was able to step on the ground sparsely outside, but all the religious headquarters inside the city walls were burned.
There was a time when I did this against the Demon King’s army.
At that time, when the demon king’s army invaded a certain county castle.
-Open the door! We all die like this!
-If you open the door, all the villagers inside will die!
-Are you going to kill the hero?!
Hwang Lian and two of his party could not evacuate from the outer wall to the inner wall, and the count, who was inside the inner wall, made the decision to abandon three warriors to protect tens of thousands of young people.
-Close the door again!
-What are you doing now, no, you crazy bastards!!
The fallen warriors mercilessly broke down the door and went inside, and soon tried to repair the door again.
And the soldiers who tried to stop the door from being broken inside died, and Huang Lian and the two warriors fled into the castle.
-The door is a barrier, but if you break it and enter!!
The count and the soldiers physically somehow blocked the broken door with their bodies.
Together with the hero, those who could not escape in time from within the outer fortress tried to squeeze through the door the hero had broken down to enter.
Those who try to block the forcibly opened door.
Those who forcibly open the door and enter and try to live ‘even for me’.
In the midst of such quarrels, everyone died in the end.
The fact that humans can come inside means that the enemy can also go inside.
If it is a flame, if it burns through a person’s body and can go inside, it will eventually end.
How many died?
Thousands?
Could you add a bit of exaggeration?
From nob le mt l dot com
No.
It’s not about tens of thousands.
If everyone near the church could not escape the flames and fled to the ‘inside’ as they were originally gathered here, they would not have been able to escape the slowly approaching flames and would have died in the end.
I heard how many refugees are near the Vatican.
When I talked with the saintess, it seems that at least 100,000 were well over.
If that many people died.
If you killed that many people.
“Yuri Chae…”
My ex-girlfriend is Nabal, and I don’t need to look after her or be considerate anymore.
Chae Yu-ri kills.
From nob le mt l dot com
No matter what happens to her, I will definitely kill her.
But at the same time, on the other hand, fear springs up.
If.
If she ever goes wrong.
I…
Kiki.
Opened the door to the inside of the Goddess Church, the main building of the Holy See.
I wondered if something was caught and it wouldn’t open properly, but it was the bodies of priests who had been burned to death by the flames.
Judging from the fact that the silver armor remained, it seemed that the Heretic Inquisitors had put on the armor to deal with the enemy.
However, he could not win against the flames.
Even more so if it is not a flame caused by a demon king or a demon, but based on ‘divine power’.
Only the hero is immune to divine power.
Ordinary people are naturally hurt by attacks with divine power.
Even priests and paladins are unlikely to be able to withstand the power of a warrior who was directly endowed with divine power by the goddess.
“…….”
I’ve been thinking about that for a long time.
If the people of this world cannot restrain the hero, how will the people of this world stop it if one of the heroes goes mad and wants to slaughter everyone?
– Mol?
My friend replied in a funny voice, but no one really knew.
-Won’t the goddess take care of something?
I thought optimistically.
However, now that the goddess is powerless, all those who entered the Vatican, believing that the goddess’ power would protect them, were all burned to death.
Just like people who died in a witch hunt.
Kiki.
Opened the last door.
When I opened the door where she was waiting and went inside, I was greeted by her familiar face.
“Hello, Siwoo?”
“…….”
Chae Yu-ri is right in front of you.
Dressed in black mourning clothes, she was waiting for me with the entire prayer room towards the goddess filled with flames.
“What is this?”
“…Stop it.”
“What? When did you quit when I told you to quit?”
“That’s different from this.”
Don’t provoke it carelessly.
Where that woman is now pointing her wand, her orb that is burning is definitely her.
“Let go of the saintess.”
“Why me?”
Chae Yu-ri walked slowly towards the statue of the Goddess.
The flames she spewed were still aimed at the orb, and at last the inside of her orb was visible.
“Undertaker…”
Within the barrier created by her divine power, the saintess was barely protecting herself.
She could only protect herself.
She had no choice but to protect herself while everyone else burned.
I already tried to protect everyone, but the flame burned everything except the saintess.
“Sorry, I couldn’t protect everyone…”
It was because of Yuri Chae’s flame, regardless of the will of her saintess.
“hahahaha, isn’t it amazing? The priests of the Goddess Church couldn’t stand the flames created by the divine power. They believed that the power of the goddess would protect them, but it was useless. As they died, what Did you think? Since the power of the goddess burns me to death, did you think that was purification?”
“……Why are you doing this?”
“Why? Because I want to go home.”
Chae Yu-ri was laughing so innocently.
“This is no different from a game. If the game tells you to kill someone and escape, you’ll kill them all and escape. It’s just like that. Falling in love with a character in a game is weird.”
“That’s not true. The people of this world…”
“People? The people of the world who are cared for by the goddess who brought us here on purpose? Well.”
Chae Yu-ri smiled and collected the flames.
“Really, how did this woman boil you to ruin you this much? Huh? Siwoo, you weren’t like this before you came here, were you?”
“What did I do?”‘
“You said you only liked me.”
I’m not crazy.
It is not a person who can communicate through conversation.
“You… How strong have you become?”
“Ah, that? Um… I don’t know. After I broke up with you, I kept killing and burning people. You don’t know better than I thought.”
Chae Yu-ri lifted the dress she was wearing.
“What do you think this is?”
“…Barding.”
“Yes. Barding. Just like you used the magic sword, I also unlocked the barding. The Grand Duke of the North released the seal. And I grew stronger by burning all the ‘heresies’ that were offensive to the Grand Duke of the North. That result….”
“How many people have you killed?”
“Hmm…”
Yuri Chae shrugged her shoulders.
“Well, didn’t you make far more experience points than the number of people you buried?”
