Is it possible to communicate with God in real time?
Like me and zero.
Otherwise, permission would not have been possible so quickly.
‘I can feel the madness.’
It’s a very familiar look.
Both the warriors and the saints were crazy and couldn’t tell the difference.
understanding goes.
I’ve been locked up without any supplies for over a month.
Even the stored food would not be able to meet the demands of so many warriors.
At least I wasn’t hungry and I was crazy.
However, I have seen many cases of madness caused by hunger.
When the entire continent suffered from hunger due to a great famine.
It was a time when children were sold, eaten, and people like them were attacked and dismantled.
The nobles did not release their stockpiled food.
They plundered more disgracefully for their own self-interest, and fueled the war to reduce the number of mouths eaten.
“Why no answer? Are you scared?”

The saintess’ ridicule grew louder.

The warriors were also looking at them as if they had a fun spectacle.
It was just a welcome madness, so I was soaked in memories for a while.
shrugged and said.
“If I go into that holy land and live there, will it be acknowledged?”
“OK. I will acknowledge that you are a saint even if you only go inside with ten footprints.”
You will not be able to enter even one step, let alone ten steps.
You must have seen the warriors die instantly as they headed to the Holy Land.
‘Only one out of ten becomes a Pagan.’
Mortality rate 90%.
But these were basic numbers.
Depending on how deep you go, the quality of the pagan also changes.
If you stop with the first shot, you can’t be a proper pagan.
At least ten footsteps must be entered to obtain the power of Pagan.
If you cross 20 steps, you will be called ‘Warrior Pagan’, and you will become the gatekeeper who protects the small city.
If you cross 30 steps, you will be called ‘Daejangsa Pagan’, and you will be appointed as a guardian protecting the holy ground.
And if it crosses 40 steps, it is called ‘Great Pagan’ and becomes a guardian deity protecting the north.
However, the number of great pagans is an area that only one in ten thousand can reach. Everyone else dies to enter the great path.
Since the great Pagan, who protects the north, can move with his own free will in all circumstances, even whether or not to participate in the war to protect the Holy Land was free.
Currently, the number of great factions existing in the north is five.
One of them was Jung.
‘A great warrior referred to the devil as a saint. If it is not corrected, there will be a division.’
The saintess looked at the devil of the empire.
I don’t know what the devil did to convince Jung, but what is certain is that he chose to die himself.
‘Never succeed.’
When you stand in front of the holy ground, you might be frightened by its greatness and collapse.
A warrior would consider it honorable to become a Pagan and die, but that fellow was the devil of the empire.
There is no way that the devils of the empire know the honor of a warrior.
If there’s anything that bothers me, it’s other people.
The young demon wasn’t threatening at all, but everyone around him exuded an unusual aura.
“Of course, of course, you should not accept help from others. A saint is a being who has built up his own rank. Challenge yourself.”
“majesty. Please think again.”
Germin earnestly requested.
Anxious face.
He had to stop at all costs to walk into a cave where even most of the warriors died instantly.
Edith also shook her head.
“It is suicidal. Even I, a magician from the 8th Circle, will not be able to come back alive if I go inside.”
Even the general public felt it.
The dangerous mana that dwells within that holy ground.
Dangerous. It’s just not that dangerous.
That mana only exists to kill humans.
He knew about the phenomenon of such mana being united.
“Your Highness, have you heard of the Killing Fields?”
“Is that what is called the magic of the 9th circle?”
“you’re right. The ‘Killing Field’ is an absolute area that was used by ancient ‘dragons’ and was said to be handled only by wizards of the 9th circle. It is a land of death that kills all life just by entering it.”
“Is the inside of that cave a killing field?”
“Yes.”
Edith was sure.
That’s magic.
It is also the 9th circle magic killing field that only appears in legends.
I could recognize Edith, the 8th Circle mage and the owner of the Mage Tower.
Even he thought that if he went inside, he would barely survive ten steps. Even if you hit the mana wall dozens of times, that would be the limit.
Help was also blocked, so Reinhardt would die instantly if he went in there alone.
It should dry.
If it didn’t work, I had to faint and get out.
No matter how much I swore allegiance, it was too reckless.
Even if he had to die, he would send Reinhardt and his daughter out safely.
Edith caught her breath and began preparing for the eventuality.
“……Did you intend to do this from the beginning?”
At that time, Croft, who had been blocking it at first, opened his mouth.
It was because he finally understood what Reinhardt had said in the past.
‘What Archduke Carlos tried to hide.’
What Archduke Carlos wanted to take even while seeking out the shadows and postponing the invasion of the Holy Land.
What if it’s something in that cave?
A land of death where even the warriors of the north cannot come back alive. What if the time was wasted to secretly steal what was inside?
······ I wonder if even Crown Prince Reinhardt knew the method.
‘This was the purpose from the beginning. Your Highness knew.’
They came to the north with the intention of stealing what Archduke Carlos wanted.
In the name of curing Edith’s granddaughter.
It didn’t matter how I knew it now.
However, if this place was the goal, Reinhardt’s actions so far could be understood.
Croft met Reinhardt’s eyes.
A face full of confidence.
unwavering eyes.
There was no gloominess of the past to be found.
But sometimes that kind of confidence can be toxic. So I was worried.
If the method went wrong and Reinhardt died, he too would have to be buried here.
‘I’ve lived enough to live, so I’m not worried about dying.’
Reinhardt was hope.
I woke up from a long sleep and was stretching.
You can’t help it, but you can’t drive it with your limbs.
I’d rather challenge myself in that cave.
“Croft. Can’t you believe me?”
but.
If you decide to believe and follow, you should also respect the owner’s choice.
Croft’s eyes twitched.
And then Croft made a decision.
“I will believe and follow you.”
I will abide by Reinhardt’s decision.
The miracles that Reinhardt has shown so far. I believed in the potential of those mysterious talents.
Even if Reinhardt went wrong, this place wouldn’t be safe either.
Especially that saintess.
As much as the head of that saintess, I will definitely cut it off.
“Why, why are you looking at me like that? You know what I’m afraid of?”
The saintess trembled.
It’s because I read Croft’s life.
The surrounding pagans were also shaken.
– Strong.
sign of the strong.
The depth of power felt in Croft.
Its depth was like the abyss.
It looked deeper than even the beings called great warriors.
Even the most exceptional of the Empire’s demons did not exude such aura.
-Devil······.
gulp!
The nervous Pagans instinctively raised their weapons and aimed.
That limitless power was worthy of being called the Demon King.
Only the Fagans, whose instincts were strengthened, shuddered when they recognized Croft.
“Then let’s go.”
I said as if I would go for a light walk.
Germin and Edith still looked worried, but Croft sent them faith. They also realized that they had no choice but to believe.
“be careful.”
For some reason, Kaichel spat out a word of concern.
To her, this was not a normal place.
‘Epic. It’s also on a considerable level.’
Perhaps, one of the primeval Epic is sleeping here.
If that’s the case, it’s like two ancient epics colliding.
I couldn’t tell who would win.
‘It’s an incredibly combative epic. What am I going to do?’
Seeing that the mana of death was emanating from the entrance, it was clear that it was an Epic without morals.
It’s best to just ignore such epics.
Why do you have to go down the road where you might die?
It was incomprehensible to her, but I thought it might be something like a battle of pride that only the ancient Epic had.
Originally, epics with strong egos are said to be impatient because they can’t eat each other.
It was fortunate that she hadn’t been born long enough, so she didn’t have the ego to act like that.
“Get out of the way.”
Took.
took a step
The saintess and the pagans began to pave the way.
Receiving everyone’s gaze, Reinhardt moved.
When they finally stood in front of the cave, everyone couldn’t help but be nervous.
‘It would be scary. I’m sure you want to give up.’
The saintess’ ridicule grew even louder.
Seeing that they stopped in front of the cave, they must have gotten scared now.
ruler. It’s time to cry and cry and cling to it.
He was willing to spare his life if he said that he was not a saint, that he was just an ordinary devil.
‘Please ask for help. Say you’ll atone!’
The saintess cried out in her heart.
and soon.
Took.
“…!”
“Huh!”
Germin turned his head away.
Reinhardt stepped into the cave.
However, no physical transformation took place.
The saintess crumpled her forehead at the fact that she looked more normal than expected.
‘You’re a lucky guy. Still, this is just the first step. Each step will feel like death.’
ten footsteps.
Go to that extent and gain the power of Pagan.
But moving step by step is hell, every Pagan said.
This place is truly a living hell.
So much so that even skilled warriors are reluctant to move their feet.
Tuwook-
However, Reinhardt took a step further.
Took.
Took.
With the sound of kicking on the floor, it moved forward without hesitation.
“what···?”
It doesn’t stop.
There was no hesitation.
was just walking
No bodily transformations, no biological organs.
Even if the body is suitable for the constitution, slight variations will occur.
ten steps like that.
“Nonsense······!”
The saintess cried out in agony.
The impossible happened.
What’s even more surprising is that it doesn’t stop even after ten steps.
‘Twenty steps.’
The section where you have the status of the city’s guardian, called the warrior Pagan.
As expected, Reinhardt did not stop.
‘stop. stop!’
thirty feet.
Daejeonsa Temple, a section called the Guardian of the Holy Land.
However, he ignores the saintess’ cry and goes further.
······ Like that, forty steps.
“ah.”
“Worship.”
Pagans kneel down.
All the warriors bowed their heads in awe.
Now, here, a great warrior was born.
but.
Reinhardt did not stop even after taking forty steps.
More, more, deeper.
yet.
“…”
He completely disappeared from everyone’s sight.
