149. Saint Estiya and the Church (3)
149. Saint Estiya and the church (3)
Paladin Erik.
Compared to a child or bullying behavior, he has skills that are not bad.
He is an opponent who should never be caught off guard and who should not be allowed to relax.
I said, wary of the paladins surrounding me.
“Did you receive the gift I left in the auditorium?”
“I received it well. This trash bastard. What did you come here for? And, the saintess… No, where is Estiya?”
A very dirty and greedy eye.
If I hadn’t kidnapped Estiya, such trash would always have been around Estiya.
When I thought that, I felt the blood in my head go cold.
“Are you not answering me? Tell me!! The reason I came to this church after 5 years!! What is it for!?”
“… “
Eric shouts in rage when he ignores the question.
I checked Eric and the nearby paladins.
All of them smelled like rotten cheese.
It seemed like there was no need to take care of everything.
“… The answer is through action.”
“What?”
“One thing at a time.”
Move your body quickly and dig into the gap between one paladin.
He was startled, but swung his sword to save his life.
However, the sword wielded by another paladin also cut through the air to protect him from reaching me.
I safely returned to the paladin’s back and placed the sword on his neck.
“Hee, hee… !! Please save me… ! Captain Eric… !”
“This trash!! Cowardly taking hostages!!”
It’s hard to deal with multiple people alone.
So, take hostages and slowly reduce the number of people.
That’s the standard method in a one-on-one fight.
I thrust the sword further into the paladin’s throat to threaten them.
“It is more cowardly when many attack one, paladin.”
… No
The warrior party also attacks the demon king in large numbers.
This word is cancelled.
When Eric saw that I had taken a hostage, his sword trembled.
Within a moment, he narrowed his brows as if he had made a decision.
“… The paladin needs to be raised from scratch. But, you can only kill now.”
“Eh, Captain Eric… ? Oh, don’t come-“
“Die, the kidnapper of the saint.”
SeoGung-
Eric mercilessly swung his sword at me holding the hostage.
The result.
Of course, the hostage’s body had no choice but to be separated and fall to the floor.
“Dae, Captain… why… “
“They are pagans who defy the goddess. Everything according to God’s will. Your death will also be taken care of by the Goddess.”
“… “
You’re crazy.
Eric savagely cut his teammate right in front of his eyes.
It didn’t really do any harm to me.
I tried to justify that action by saying that it was the will of the goddess.
I found Eric’s actions and words interesting.
“Let’s see if it will be the same until we are left alone.”
One person.
Two people.
I captured with my own eyes the moment Eric’s victims increased.
Until he collapses from exhaustion.
Until I tell you to kill yourself.
‘I’ll let you go through half of the pain I experienced in Estiya.’
In place of Estiya, who had no thoughts of revenge, I intended to kill him slowly by stepping on him.
***
The secret passage was long.
Looking at the wind blowing, it is clear that there is an end.
Hare’s patience wasn’t great.
“Ah, is it right to leave Mr. ? If you sacrificed for us… It wouldn’t be right to sacrifice our lives even if we felt sorry for the old man-“
“Noisy, Hare! How many times have you said that!”
“Exactly number four.”
“I’m going to get neurosis! Now stop!!”
“… “
Hare shut her mouth at Luna’s roaring cry.
Although Hare continued to bite her nails and display signs of her anxiety.
The warrior party ignored her actions and headed to the end of her aisle.
“If you look at each one, there is no end! All of you are weird!”
“You are strange too, Luna. Don’t pretend it’s not.”
“What am I doing! I am normal!”
“People who think they are normal are the most abnormal.”
“M, that is nonsense!”
Although she had minor altercations with her in the process.
Estiya reached a certain point and put her finger on her mouth.
“Shh, quiet everyone!”
“… I can’t feel the presence, but is there something going on?”
“You have to be quiet from here on out. The kids will hate the noise.”
Kids?
What do you mean by that?
The warrior party couldn’t understand Estiya’s words.
Until she reached the end of the aisle and saw the grim sight that unfolded.
Saten said, widening her eyes in surprise.
From noble mtl dot com
“Is this a prison… ?”
“It is not a prison! It’s a lab! It’s not just about locking it up!”
Saten asked, narrowing her eyes.
“You know this place well. Estiya, you.”
“Yes, I have been here before!”
“… Okay.”
I thought she was just a mindless fool.
She never lived here.
Looks like I misjudged.
Saten walked on, holding back the nausea rising up in her stomach.
About 8 rooms.
Over 30 children locked in iron bars.
They had no emotion in their eyes like dolls.
It didn’t even move like a doll whose thread had been cut.
It was like a doll with only its heart beating.
“Woo, woo-wook- ee, what is this- uh, woowook-“
“Luna ended up throwing up. She grew up quite normal, so seeing things like this would make her nauseous.”
“Seo, explanation Woo-wook- Don’t do it… “
Luna couldn’t stand the bubbling nausea.
Primal fear and disgust.
Luna, barely calming her emotions, burned her sense of justice and said as she wiped her saliva.
“Everyone… ! Let’s save these kids… ! I’m so sorry… !”
“Yes, do whatever you want.”
“Eight… !!”
Kwaang-!
Luna broke her iron bar at once and went inside.
Then, she moved towards the children who were sitting still without focus.
“It would be useless though!”
“Ah, kids! Wake! Let’s go out together with sister and sister! I will help you!”
I can save it!
Because I am a warrior!
Luna began to free her children from prison one by one, burning her warrior’s justice.
However, the other warrior party did not help Luna and just watched her quietly.
“Why are you all still! I have to help the kids!”
“… “
Actually.
Everyone except Luna knew.
The fact that those children can never be saved.
Estiya quietly approached Luna and said calmly.
“Stop it now, Luna! They are dead or the same! These are children waiting to be scrapped!”
“… No, you can get it My heart beats and my eyes open like this-“
“Even if your heart beats, your soul is dead. I know They can’t survive no matter what!”
“… “
Push-
Luna set her child in her arms to the floor.
She felt sad and angry at the children she didn’t even know.
“You’re still young… why did this happen… “
There must have been a lot of things I wanted to do.
Why did he die in this state?
Luna stood up with her mouth shut.
“… Let’s go to the devil Let’s go and kill the demon king.”
“Good idea. I also want to kill the demon king quickly.”
Although for other reasons.
Saten also wanted to meet the Demon King as soon as possible.
“Here is the door at the end of the prison! I’ve never been there either! There is only one way!”
“Then let’s go there. Devil… I will definitely destroy it… !!”
“Let’s go!”
Estiya immediately took her step and guided her along the way.
Saten watched Estiya from behind.
‘Here he lived under an experiment… ? She seems fine on the outside… ‘
She doesn’t feel much fear.
I feel like I don’t even have any trauma.
She talks like it has nothing to do with her.
“I wonder if her head was made of dreams rather than a field of flowers.”
“… What do you mean, Saten?”
“I’m just talking to myself.”
Estiya survived the experiment.
Maybe it’s because she’s Saten in an extreme environment.
She was able to glimpse a glimpse of herself in her Estiya.
‘Though he became a fool unlike me. She may be holding back a lot.’
Making such a guess, Saten decided to keep a close eye on Estiya, who was walking ahead of her.
***
The hallway was strewn with numerous corpses of paladins.
“Why are you killing your comrades instead of killing me?”
“Shut up!!”
Not what I did.
It was the result of Eric’s actions.
He swung his sword to kill me, and each time he killed his comrades.
“Eh, Captain Eric… !!”
“This is the end. It’s the 10th, Eric.”
“Please, Captain Eric… !!”
The paladin in front of me cried and begged for his life.
It’s trash that stinks, but the tears were sincere.
However, Eric swung his sword with a cold gaze.
“You bastard-!!”
“Cheer, gagging… “
“Awesome.”
He killed all the paladins himself.
Looking at the blood on the sword even before fighting me, it must have killed ordinary people along the way.
I walked towards Eric, who was swearing.
“You… Killed all my knights… “
“… “
“My colleagues… !! I made him kill with my own hands… !! Give Estiya back to me right now… !!!”
While the party of warriors train hard.
Eric was busy fulfilling his desires.
Even the structure of his head seemed to be dominated by desire.
He swung his sword at me, frowning.
[You don’t intend to die from an attack like this, do you?]
[1. Avoid and kill.]
[2. Avoid and hit.]
There are two options.
An option that can be seen as Kill and Save.
I shouted without looking into the future.
“No. 1.”
“What kind of place is that-“
“You will know when you see it.”
The sword that is biased toward emotion and desire loses its direction and cuts through the air.
I immediately raised my sword upwards.
Erik’s hand holding the sword soared into the sky.
“Kwaaae of a !!”
“For now, one right arm.”
The left arm immediately follows.
Erik groaned in pain and lost both of his arms in an instant.
Among the children in prison, I remember that there was a child who looked like this.
“How does it feel to lose both arms, Eric?”
“Turn it off… Damn you bastard… Are you planning to take revenge on me… ? To feel the pain of those children… ? It’s a crap idea… !!”
“You don’t reflect at all.”
“Why should I reflect on that… !? I follow the will of the goddess!! I just moved everything according to the will of the goddess!!”
This is a very strange thing.
A goddess wouldn’t do such a thing.
Why does this paladin named Eric keep mentioning the goddess?
“Eric. Depending on the answer, I can save you. Answer me straight.”
“… “
“What on earth is the goddess you are talking about?”
“Ha ha ha… Interesting question.”
Eric smiled and confidently replied.
“Goddess gives fun to the world… give joy… Giving happiness… He is an omnipotent being… “
“She is a bit different from the goddesses I know. Aren’t you the devil? “
“You know… Then I’ll ask you a question… What do you think of a goddess and a demon king… ?”
What is a goddess and a demon king?
I didn’t answer that question.
I didn’t have to talk to him about this topic.
Because he had already decided the answer.
“No answer… you don’t know… Don’t tell me the answer… “
Eric laughed and shouted that his words were correct.
“The answer is… !! The one who helps me is the goddess… She is the demon lord who doesn’t help me… In fact, what do you think is the reason why so many people believe in the Goddess religion now… ? It’s all because they help themselves… !! By sprinkling holy water on a difficult society… !! It’s what brings happiness to the world… !! Do you understand now… !!?”
“… “
I cut Eric’s leg without saying anything.
“Quaaah-!!”
“I can’t listen anymore. Think about the goddess and the demon king once again. By the time you are done thinking, Daniel will come.”
Death confirmed by Daniel.
I want Eric, whose vitality is tough, to suffer for a long time.
Even his last remaining leg was removed.
‘Maybe it took too long.’
Now that Estiya’s revenge has been completed instead.
I need to go soon.
I opened the secret passage again and ran towards the end.
‘I wonder if the warrior party is going well… ‘
Now that Estiya’s obstacles have been cleared.
My head was full of worries about the warrior party.
For them, today could be my last.
I wanted to take care of you more than usual today.
