Episode 120. Have you ever been kicked at the speed of light?
‘It’s the same.’
Gaos, who followed Barante, looked around and muttered to himself.
The Pope’s room was exactly the same as the picture Aaron had drawn.
Except for personal items such as Bibles and perfume, everything was in its place.
“Sit here.”
After entering the room and locking the door, Barante sat Gaos on the sofa and searched for something in the chest of drawers.
It was a gaudy maid outfit that was popular hundreds of years ago, with white frills on a black background.
‘Why is something like that in the Pope’s room?’
Maid uniforms were too small for adults to wear.
It’s the perfect level to dress up as a prank on a child.
‘no way.’
Gaos’s face grew distorted.
“Come on, Tom. Try this on.”
Barante chose the right size among the many maid clothes and brought it to Gaos.
Gaos accepted it with trembling hands.
[No matter what happens, obey and obey at first. If you don’t like him, everything will go back to nothing.]
Aaron’s voice, which I had heard until I came here, lingered in my head.
He did not give an answer to Gaos’ question about what the pope had done.
And now I realize why.
‘Throwing me to such a perverted bastard.’
Gaos worked hard to make up his mind and changed into the maid’s uniform that Barante had given him.
“hahahaha! It fits perfectly!”
Barante jumped up and down excitedly and threw the clothes Gaos was wearing into the fireplace.
‘That crazy guy!’
Gaos put on a desperate expression as he watched the clothes he had to change later turn to ashes.
It was dark in my eyes to think that even after I left here, I would still be wearing these disgusting clothes.
“You are the most beautiful child I have ever seen.”
Barante saw Gaos blushing with shame and his entire body trembled.
All he wanted was a look like this.
Many of the children brought before were too young to know shame or rather liked the clothes, saying they were pretty.
However, unlike other children, Gaos knew shame and felt uncomfortable wearing girl’s clothes.
The extreme sense of immorality that comes from seeing a child who can’t resist suffer.
A strong pleasure that I had never felt before surged up my spine.
“Come here. Let me introduce you to your friends.”
After wandering around Gaos for a while and making a fuss, Barante dragged him to a bookshelf on the other side of the room.
Kurrr-
When the book that protruded in the middle was pressed, the entire bookshelf rotated, revealing a hidden space.
A cold and dark stone chamber.
Dozens of boys filled the narrow space with only a few candles for lighting.
“hello! Pope!”
Dressed in identical maid uniforms, they greeted each other with bright smiles as soon as the secret door opened.
‘It’s a point of view.’
Gaos inevitably sharpened his teeth.
The corner of the mouth quivering and the eyes avoiding the pope’s gaze. Skin that is tired of the cold.
Those smiles were fake.
“Guys. A new friend has arrived.”
The Pope looked at the children with a stiff face, and at one point smiled brightly and pushed Gaos back.
“It’s nice to see everyone’s bright smiles. Teach Tom what to do here.”
“yes! Pope!”
“Leave it to me!”
“We will teach you well!”
The children stood out and shouted at each other with unchanging smiles.
Kurrr-
From noble mtl dot com
The pope nodded, as if satisfied with their answer, and disappeared through the secret door.
dump-
As soon as the pope left, the boys, who were standing with their hands together, sat down on the ground.
“Huh… … .”
Someone in the back quietly cried.
Using that as a signal, small sniffles spread through the cold stone chamber.
They couldn’t even cry.
This is because in the past, a child was caught crying and was severely punished by the pope.
‘He created a hell in the most sacred place.’
Gaos muttered to himself and took out something he had hidden in his underwear.
It was a small piece of parchment that Aaron told me to open when he was alone.
‘… … what?’
As he unfolded the parchment, a bright light streamed out like a haze, and something the size of a fingernail fell at his feet.
It was a fragment of Azazel’s horn, which Magi exuded.
If she had just brought it in, she would have been caught, but it seemed that the saintess had put divine power in the parchment.
‘Why this… … .’
He frowned at the piece of antlers and stopped thinking when he noticed something written on the parchment.
On the parchment, in small print, everything he would experience and what he had to do was written.
‘It’s the same as when you were a lich and now you’re a slave. Damn you.’
After reading the contents, he swallowed the self-deprecating joke and closed the parchment.
A command so difficult that I would have refused to do it if I had heard it outside.
But since I had already come this far, I couldn’t go back.
“hi. Tom. I am Maron.”
As I was organizing my thoughts for a moment, someone suddenly reached out to me.
As soon as the door opened, it was a short boy who took the lead in greeting.
Despite being a couple of years younger than the other children, he didn’t cry and bravely took care of his new class.
It was all thanks to Maron that so many children were able to survive.
“okay. nice to meet. Maron.”
“You are not crying. All the other kids were crying as soon as they came.”
Maron looked at Gaos and tilted his head.
Usually, when children were brought here, they were frightened and burst into tears or knocked on the door the pope had left, screaming for help.
But Gaos was different.
Contrary to the expectation that there would be a commotion again this time, he calmly looked at the situation without changing a single expression.
“Because crying doesn’t change anything. Are these all the children brought in?”
“… … no. The rest of the kids are being punished. excuse me.”
Maron trembled and pointed to the ceiling hesitantly.
In the darkness where the light of a candle can barely reach.
Dozens of children were dangling, tied up all over the body.
“her.”
Gaos laughed.
The children who were hanged were bruised all over their bodies and barely blinking as if they had been severely beaten.
There was no hope in the eyes that had lost their vitality. He gave up everything in a hopeless situation.
“All the kids who rebel against the pope or make noise are like that.”
“… … What does the Pope want?”
“I want to read a fairy tale book.”
“fairy tale book?”
“huh. I need to memorize all the fairy tales here and read them to the Pope before he goes to sleep. If you can’t memorize it or don’t like your voice, you’ll be punished like them.”
Maron showed the fairy tale books lying on one side of the stone chamber.
A children’s storybook read to children who have just taken their toes before going to bed.
At nap time and at bedtime in the evening, the pope called one of the boys here to recite the contents of the book, then held the boy like a doll and fell asleep.
‘Hey Aaron… Do you really have future poetry?’
Gaos felt goose bumps run down his spine.
Even content about children and storybooks hanging from the ceiling of the stone room.
It completely matched what Aaron had written in the order.
‘How can a guy who is visiting Zeros for the first time in his life be like this… Tsk. Let’s think about it later.’
Gaos, who continued his thoughts, shook his head.
Doubts bit their tail after tail, but now was the time to focus on the work in front of them.
According to Aaron’s order, sooner or later the pope will kill all the children here, saying that they are offering sacrifices to the goddess.
To stop it, the job had to be finished before the pope’s madness got worse.
“Mana Cutter. Levitation.”
After thinking, Gaos raised his mana and reached for the ceiling.
Tuduk! Took!
Shortly after saying the starter word, all the ropes connected to the ceiling broke and the children hanging like gourds slowly descended to the ground.
“… … !”
The children who were sobbing at the strange phenomenon that happened in front of their eyes stopped crying.
“Tom… did you do this?”
Maron asked on behalf of the surprised children.
Instead of answering, Gaos cast another spell.
“Summon Fire.”
Three or four warm flames rose from his hand and flew all over the stone chamber.
Children shivering in the cold gathered around the flames like babies seeking milk.
As they bathed in the warm energy, the children’s bluish faces became lively again.
“If you want to leave, pay attention to my words.”
Looking at the children huddled around the flame, Gaos opened his mouth.

“Is His Holiness here?”
After a while, in front of the Pope’s residence.
Cardinal Landis asked the paladins standing in front of the door.
“yes. Cardinal Eminence. He is inside, but he is in the middle of the day.”
“Um, since when did you eat for lunch?”
“I cannot tell you. If you have business, please wait outside.”
The Paladins answered in a hard voice.
The paladins guarding the pope’s side were all master-level paladins, and they had the right to refuse anything they thought would harm the pope’s safety.
In their eyes, Landis was against the Pope’s will.
I heard that I did something I liked a while ago, but I couldn’t exclude it from being on guard.
“Can’t we just wait here? It’s urgent, so please understand.”
“It’s not possible. Please wait outside.”
“When His Holiness wakes up, I’ll be sure to… … .”
Cheolguk!
“If you continue to do so, I have no choice but to bring you there myself.”
When Landis didn’t back down, the paladins took a step closer, grabbing the hilts.
It was impossible for a mere paladin to deal with a cardinal, but they were not afraid at all.
‘It doesn’t matter.’
Landis looked at the mark of Belial engraved on the necks of the paladins and licked his lips.
In my heart, I want to wait in front of the door after knocking it down quietly, but there are guards patrolling nonstop, so it was impossible to make a fuss.
“Okay, don’t get excited. I will return to my feet.”
Landis looked at the paladins for a moment and then turned away.
clap-
It was then.
A heavy metal sound was heard beyond the quiet door, and someone opened the door and walked out.
It was a brown-haired boy in a maid’s uniform with long frills.
“… … ?”
The paladins guarding the door looked at him with surprised faces.
The boy who had gone in with the pope had never come out.
But the child who entered just a few hours ago opened the door alone and came out.
Something must have happened to the pope.
“You guys… What have you done to His Holiness?”
The faces of the paladins who finished their judgment were distorted like demons.
Belial’s mark on his neck began to wriggle violently.
“Kyungs. Have you ever been kicked at the speed of light?”
puck! oops!
Just as they were about to grab the boy, a white light from behind hit them in the back of the head.
dump-
The Paladins trembled once, then rolled their eyes and collapsed.
“You are good at it. cardinal. No, Cardinal.”
Gaos laughed at the fallen paladins.
I thought that his movements would be sluggish due to his large body and bandit-like appearance, but I was mistaken.
Truly the speed of light.
Even if they wake up later, they won’t even know what they’ve been hit with.
“Thank you for the compliment. Gaos.”
Landis captured the divine power in his feet and moved forward.
“The pope must have had some bad taste.”
He looked at Gaos in a maid’s uniform and slightly frowned.
It was because he had a rough idea of what the pope was doing inside.
“If I had known it would end up like this, I would have refused the mission from the start.”
“Well, it’s okay because he came out alive anyway. By the way, what happened to things?”
“thing? ah.”
Gaos let out a short exclamation as if he had forgotten, then pulled out something long from the pocket on the maid’s skirt.
a thousand years ago. The holy spear that saved Zeroth from danger emitted a brilliant light from his hand.
