Shan.
It’s a familiar face.
He was the last monarch of the north and the longest harassed Pagan.
When the slave trade was activated after the Northern Expedition, he joined forces with the rebels to practice the liberation of slaves.
‘It must be bad luck.’
He was one of the leading figures who led a rebellion by innumerable emperor assassination attempts, palace fires, and even mobilizing 200,000 people.
A northern savage who first joined the rebels when Isabella was revered as a saint. The ‘slaves of the north’, prevalent throughout the empire, gathered around Shan.
Shan contributed greatly to the rapid increase in the number of rebels.
‘What an impressive face.’
A face that would make even a monster cry and run away.
When it was hung up as a corpse, the royal family used it as a joke, calling it an ‘ugly bigfoot’.
For a while, it spread like a buzzword in the palace.
So can you forget it?
There were times when the results of the investigation were closely reported.
‘The only Pagan among the Lords of the North. If Shan is cured, it will be publicity.’

Of course, it is not a complete cure.
So can you forget it?
All I can do is get rid of the radioactive material by binge eating.
There were times when the results of the investigation were closely reported.
If you’ve been infected with radioactive material for a long time, even if it’s removed, there’s a high chance that the nanomachines in your body won’t work properly.
However, if it was a Pagan who was praised as a great warrior, it was not without possibility at all.
As you can see from Croft, it is because the human nanomachines that have tempered themselves are also excellent in regenerative ability.
So can you forget it?

If you’ve been infected with radioactive material for a long time, even if it’s removed, there’s a high chance that the nanomachines in your body won’t work properly.
Nanomachines in the body grow and die along with humans.
When humans are strong, nanomachines are strong too.
Although the survival rate is higher than that of other pagans, and there is a lot of publicity, there is no reason not to treat it.
“You lack faith.”
I don’t like that attitude.
It was also a bad relationship from the beginning.
If you want to do proper ‘acting’, you can’t blindly accept it.
Shan’s expression darkened.
“trust? Did you say faith?”
I ask if you dare to discuss your faith in front of the monarch.
The threat of a ‘self-proclaimed monarch’ who was not the only monarch in the north and had no legitimacy was just laughable to me.
You had to be at least a garp to pretend to be a monarch in front of me.
I nodded lightly.
“Now you are not ready to accept me.”
“her. Do you know how many people in the north have called themselves ‘gods’?”
There were many people who packaged themselves as messengers of God or gods.
But it was all fake.
They had been deceived by plausible sophistry or plausible magic.
“Then why did you come here?”
the ruler of the world.
The author is one of the seven lords that exist in the north.
I just took a step directly on the ‘rumor’.
That’s proof of how urgent it is.
Shan turned his head.
‘Saint.’
The reason he came here is simple.
It was because the saint and Jung guaranteed it.
The saintess’ face was dark. However, do not deny It didn’t seem like they were being forced into a play.
‘Yung·······.’
great warrior.
One of 5 warriors like himself.
In particular, Jung did not belong to any place and liked to be alone like a lofty crane.
But he knows honor more than anyone else.
He was also famous for keeping his promises and his words.
Such a Jung is looking at the swindler in front of him with his whole eyes.
It’s not about submitting to foreign powers, it’s really believing.
The same goes for warriors and other factions.
They held up the man in front of them like a god.
Approaching the end of the Holy Land, a man who appeared with God.
The savior of Pagan!
‘Everyone goes crazy.’
It seems that they were under group hypnosis.
Wherever you look, this seemingly weak human being is a god.
A person who doesn’t seem like a handful.
“······ If you really want to become a god of the north, you have to prove it. by force.”
The god of the north must be strong.
The weak can never become gods.
You can never gain everyone’s recognition and respect simply by showing off.
The people of the north were born with warrior genes.
It was natural for them to follow the strong.
“I will do it, Your Highness.”
It was then.
A blonde man with no presence.
I didn’t even know he was next to me, but he suddenly came out.
Shan smiled incredulously.
‘I’m not a northerner. Besides, it looks weak. Are you saying that I was tricked by these hasty people?’
The senses that became pagan and became extremely sensitive.
That sense could catch even flowing mana.
However, the mana felt from this blond man was infinitely modest.
It means weak.
Why on earth were the saintess and Jung fooled by these things?
They were swindlers sent from the continent to confuse the north.
“No, Croft. It must be quite fun.”
Dissuading Croft, I stood up.
3 days after entering the Holy Land.
During that time, Croft was completely cured.
I’ve gotten younger, but on the contrary, I’ve become so ordinary.
The sharpness and heavy atmosphere of the past have completely disappeared.
However, the amount of nanomachines stored in the body has more than doubled compared to before.
I already had an unbelievable amount, but twice that amount.
‘It was to the extent that it was difficult to measure the level even at zero.’
In augmented reality, Croft’s level was set at level 110.
It’s hard to even measure how high it must have been now that it’s been through a mana shower.
Of course, if Croft stepped forward, it would not be difficult to subdue Shan.
But to earn their true respect, I had to prove myself.
The saints and warriors of the Holy Land saw me entering the Holy Land myself. Healing Croft and seeing all the miracles he performed, he had no choice but to believe it.
But not Shan.
Shan and other lords will also want ‘proof’ from me.
It’s a process you have to go through once.
On the contrary, it was fortunate for me that the target was Shan.
“Are we going to fight? For that proof?”
“If you win against me, other lords will also have faith.”
Shan is the only Pagan among the Seven Lords.
He was even one of the five factions praised as great warriors.
‘The great Pagan is comparable to the Sword Master.’
It may be more, but not less.
I personally saw Jung chewing on the neck of a crow.
Crow is a high-ranking sword master under Archduke Carlos.
Shan is the one with similar powers to Jung.
There is no chance of winning in a head-to-head confrontation.
“good night. If you want proof, I will prove it.”
I was curious too.
‘Gluttony evolved by eating dragons.’
It was now glued to my skin.
It’s like getting some kind of dragon skin.
Because they coexisted but were not dominated, even Zero was unsure of the performance of Gluttony.
I just confirmed that it moves autonomously and protects the user.
I was just thinking about how far it could go and how to utilize it.
“… Now, what are we going to do?”
Shan, holding a huge spear, frowned.
Because I didn’t have any weapons.
Instead, he stood still with his hands behind his back.
“God does not move.”
“He was a true madman.”
Shaking his head, Shan’s mood changed in an instant.
Raising the spear, it began to aim precisely at me.
Kurleung!
Power enough to cause cracks in the ground.
Those who receive this spear from the front will not survive.
‘There was no one who survived after receiving the javelin.’
Not even one.
The archmage and the knights of the empire called the sword master were all killed by this spear.
If I make a mistake even now, I will stop.
‘I can’t even tremble.’
under. That arrogance will eventually kill you.
Aww.
Shan gathered all the mana and threw it all at once.
A javelin confident that it could kill even a god.
Curl rrr!
The ground cries. the sky trembled
The spear flew through the wind with tremendous speed.
And at the very moment.
Quaaa!
got stuck It was impenetrable and confronted.
‘wall?’
An invisible wall collided with a window.
Only the part that collided with the spear took on a dense net-like shape. Although it was deeply dented, the spear could not escape like a fish caught in a net.
Ting.
Finally, the spear, losing all momentum, fell to the ground ungainly.
“…”
It is a spear thrown with all its might.
Blocked it without any action.
A magician would have to sing a chant, but there was no sign of that.
Besides, the magician’s curtain could never stop his javelin.
‘What is this?’
nonsense.
It is an inexplicable phenomenon.
To think that he would block his own javelin without any warning.
Unless it’s really God…
‘Hmm. This is enough to block.’
When everyone was stunned, I rubbed my chin.
Newly acquired dragon skin, an armor that boasts absolute defense.
If you can block Shan’s javelin with Jess, you won’t have to worry about being assassinated in your sleep.
However, the problem with this dragon’s skin, which is called ‘dragon armor’ for convenience, is that it consumes a lot of energy.
[20% energy consumed.]
[Autonomous defense function, ‘Dragon Armor’ consumes a lot of energy.]
Also, psionic energy cannot be released when the dragon armor is activated.
This is because it minimizes impact and completely blocks energy through transparent spider web-like particles.
This means that attack and defense are not allowed, but instead, if you focus on defense, you can get invincible defense.
‘Besides, I don’t eat anything even when I’m gluttonous.’
It was surprising that he did not eat the spear.
I ate all the radiation and dragons, so I wonder if I’m on an unbalanced diet.
“Do you have anything else to show me?”
“······ I lost.”
The best attack was blocked.
because it wasn’t in moderation.
I had no choice but to admit it.
However, it was still an incomprehensible gaze.
“Kill me. If I show my head to other lords, they will believe it.”
lost the fight
A warrior’s fight ends only when the target’s life is taken.
‘It’s fun.’
The monarch offers his head after being blocked by a javelin.
They were very simple. so it’s even better
If I had continued to fight, I would have lost.
“I am not a warrior. There’s no point in cutting off your head.”
Killing Shan only intensifies the backlash from the other lords.
There are many more useful ways to use it.
I walked slowly, placing my hand on Shan’s shoulder.
Gluttony’s nanomachines flowed in, consuming Shan’s radioactive material at the same time.
Fortunately, the nanomachines in the body were not completely destroyed, and a slight change was created.
“What are you doing now…”
Realizing that he didn’t intend to kill him, Shan expressed his doubts and then closed his mouth.
“ah······!”
because it was playing.
The wound on his wrist was healing, and new flesh was growing.
Seeing this, Shan was speechless.
Although it is insignificant, a miracle came to him who lost his ‘right to regenerate’ after becoming a pagan.
Looking at Shan, who was making a stupid expression, I said quietly.
“Develop your faith. Your trust in me will free you from all pain.”
Greater faith will heal you completely.
Shan’s eyes began to tremble violently.
***
He regretted becoming a pagan, entering the Holy Land.
If I could turn back time, I wouldn’t have entered the Holy Land.
That day, the day I became a monster.
He saved his family from a slave trader, but right after he became a pagan, he couldn’t even speak.
“Everyone, don’t come closer, monster!”
“I’d rather die like a human than be eaten by you.”
A face and body incomparable to other pagans.
The family who saw it, took their own lives without any help.
You don’t know how much I cried while hugging the corpse.
So he hates the Holy Land.
I wanted to destroy the place that made me like this.
That’s why they turned away from the Holy Land despite the invasion of the Empire.
“It looks really terrifying.”
“If you use it, ‘Bigfoot’ will take it!”
Bigfoot was the word he was referring to.
Yeti in legend. A monster that makes the viewer scream.
He was being talked about like a funny joke in the north. In fact, those who saw it urinated, so he usually wore the mask of a black bear.
‘It’s painful.’
Living itself was painful.
There were even Pagans who took their own lives because of the pain.
God gave strength, but took away everything else.
However, he had the goal of becoming a monarch and wiping out the slave traders.
‘I want to live.’
There was no cure.
couldn’t go back
Since you have become a Pagan, accept death humbly.
All the pagans said so.
Everyone was ‘pretending’ to accept death.
Same goes for Shan.
But the moment when a fraudster who calls himself a god lays his hand on it.
‘It’s not painful.’
The pain that had plagued him since becoming a Pagan disappeared like a lie.
‘It will play.’
The flesh was sprouting.
It is nonsense.
A miracle that was impossible for a long time even if Pagan tried all kinds of methods.
Is that, just by putting your hand on it?
It’s not a whole body, but it’s an incomplete level.
“ah.”
My eyes were blurred.
When I gave up everything, a ray of hope suddenly came to me.
‘Do you mean to believe me again?’
The god of the Holy Land took everything from him.
But God says he will give you another chance.
Only faith will save you.
However, what has already been lost does not come back.
The dead wife and children could not be recovered.
“Don’t beat yourself up. It is not your fault.”
what do you know
your guy
What do you know that you are talking like that?
However, power is lost.
he sat down
Everyone in front of me seemed to know about it, which is normal when no one knows.
I said it knowingly.
don’t blame yourself it’s not my fault
Selfish.
There is a level of ridiculing people with just a few words.
However, it was something I desperately wanted to hear more than anyone else.
I lived my whole life with guilt.
I lived a long life without forgiving myself.
In the end, at that last word, Shan burst into tears.
“Ahh.”
He is now saved.
