Heretic judge in a certain town – 1
The sun shone through the intricate golden stained glass. Everywhere the brilliant sunlight hits was dyed the same color. It was the color of a holy god.
Inside the golden room, a woman with blonde hair and green eyes, as bright as the beating sun, was looking down from the top of the stairs with a faint smile.
At the end of his line of sight was a woman with bright blond hair and green eyes. When our eyes met, the smile returned. The hair color and eye color of the two women were exactly the same.
However, even the appearance of the two was not the same.
The woman looking down from the top of the stairs had blonde hair that grew profusely, as if it could cover her entire body, but the woman looking up from the bottom had bobbed hair down to her collarbone.
The woman looking down from the top of the stairs was like a symbol of benevolent motherhood, but the woman looking up from the bottom was very meek but playful.
The only thing that is the same is the color of the hair and the color of the eyes.
“What did you call for, His Holiness the Pope?”
The woman on the top of the stairs was the Pope, and the woman below was the Inquisitor. As usual, the heretic judge looked up at the stairs with a big smile on his face.
“The time of purification has come. Heresy Judge.”
“Oh. Has it already been that time? It looks like you found traces of the devil a while ago, so I think you received a report to investigate further.”
The Heretic Judge widened his eyes. It looked like he was really surprised. The Pope nodded slowly, expressing his affirmation.
The time of purification, what the word refers to was fixed.
that the devil’s traces were found. So, by any means and at any cost, you must deal with beings related to the devil.
It was the opening of the so-called holy war.
“I know. How many combat nuns will we mobilize?”
“Do as the heretic judge wants.”
“Then I will take them all. Doesn’t it matter though?”
“Yes. You can.”
After the Pope’s permission was granted, the Inquisitor hummed and lightly bowed his head to pay his respects, then picked up the weapon he had placed beside him.
It was a mace with a weight much larger than his own head. The weight of the mace had a very ugly-looking protrusion. It was a weapon that gave goosebumps just by looking at it.
The heretic judge lightly picked up a mace twice as large as his own head and put it over one shoulder.
“I have one more request. Heresy Judge.”
“yes? What is it this time?”
The woman, who was about to step back with the mace slung over her right shoulder, stopped.
“A revelation has been given that the man I spoke of at that time will also be found on this expedition.”
“Wow! really?”
The grass-green eyes shone brightly. It contains a lot of emotions of curiosity, the same as a child who finds a toy he likes.
“Yes. That’s right.”
As if in response, another green eye smiled.
“Where can I find it? Is this the town you’re going to go to?”
“It doesn’t know. However.”
The Pope put his hands together in front of his chest.
“God will guide you.”
A small village on the outskirts of the empire was living a peaceful life in its own way.
The monsters that rolled in from time to time were only at a level where the residents could join forces and defeat them without casualties, and even if a few outsiders came to visit, all they had to do was settle their lodgings and leave immediately.
As long as you pay taxes to the empire, a normal and peaceful daily life will be maintained without any problems. Residents of the village thought that such a daily life would continue.
That is, until a horde of monsters that could not be counted suddenly came upon them.
“Ah! help me!”
“Go with me!”
The peaceful village quickly turned into mayhem.
No matter who lit the first embers, fires erupted all over the village, and screams of people being eaten alive by monsters abounded. The fishy smell of blood stung his nostrils.
James, who has been reduced to a hurried run away with only one life left without even time to take care of his property, was also one of the ordinary residents who lived leisurely in this village.
“aaa!”
James ran and ran.
Even if they heard pleas for help from around them, even if they heard the sound of crying out in agony over the disaster that befell the village, they ignored them all and hurriedly ran away to protect themselves.
It’s a daunting situation to preserve even one of my own lives. There was no time to worry about other people.
The entire village was full of monsters in a pit of fire. James identified a monster eating humans on the main street in front of him, and hurriedly looked around and ran into the alley right next to it.
Immediately, I couldn’t even scream and froze.
In the back of the alley, there was a man whose entrails were being eaten by a monster that looked like a wolf while flapping his arms and legs. It seemed that he was still alive, but it was futile.
There must have been several victims besides that man, so the alley was covered with red blood. Realizing that, James thanked himself for not screaming. Because of that, the monster didn’t notice him.
Just turn around and get out of here. James took a step backwards little by little and prayed and prayed in his heart that the monster would not raise its head. Because of his trembling legs, his pace was extremely slow.
A little more now. Just a few steps forward
ㅡ Kwajik.
James froze as soon as his foot stepped on the scorched wooden planks, realizing that something was wrong.
The monster that had been eating the entrails by sticking its nose into the corpse of a man whose life had ended before he knew it raised its head. A growl was heard from the muzzle.
Suddenly, the strength in my legs went away. My whole body trembled like an aspen tree. It’s just a few steps away. I could have gotten out of here if I had gone a little further.
Did he decide that fresh humans were better than corpses, or was it simply to hunt live humans? The monster stepped on the corpse and began to slowly walk towards James.
James struggled and tried to back away. However, since her legs were weak and she couldn’t even move her arms properly due to fear, there was no way she could distance herself.
“Hey! Hee hee hee profit!”
The monster prepared to attack the human screaming strangely. James closed his eyes as he saw the creature leap open with its mouth wide open.
ㅡTung!
“… … ?”
blank? It was a sound that shouldn’t have been heard. James gently opened his eyes. There was something large right in front of me. Stunned, I averted my gaze a little more.
It was only then that he was able to confirm the identity of the large object blocking his path. it was a shield It’s also huge enough to cover the entire body of an adult man.
Pushing James aside, someone walked out. It was a woman holding a mace in one hand and a shield larger than her body in the other. Waist-length blonde hair, green eyes.
The attire looked very sacred.
To the point where more bare skin was exposed than covered, a garter belt was tied around her thighs, and her private parts between her legs were covered with a single piece of long, stretched cloth until just before reaching the ground.
Strange letters embroidered in gold were written on the cloth covering the private parts. It was a text I had never seen before.
Her sides and thighs were all open and barely connected under her armpits, and at least her clothes seemed to have no intention of covering her breasts properly.
There were only two triangular pieces of cloth that came down from the shoulders to cover the chest. Even that, if the wind blows or if you move your body violently, it seems that your chest will be exposed as it is.
That holy attire that feels the blessings of God intact. James had heard of women dressed like that.
A battle nun from Raphaella Castle.
She was also a combat nun under the direct control of the heretic judge.
Even though he had just been standing on the verge of death, James involuntarily bowed his head as soon as he saw the nun. The clothes in front of me were so full of holy energy.
Of course, there was a reason why the Inquisitor and the combat nuns under his direct control were notorious in many ways.
The battle nun didn’t even pay attention to James and knocked on the shield with her mace, provoking the monster. The monster is big! With a bloody sound, he pounced on the nun.
ㅡPeruk!
The one-sided death sentence, to the point of being embarrassed to even call it a battle, was made in a very short moment. The monster’s snout, which attacked as if it would chew up everything it touched, could not even reach the nun’s neck.
Before that, his head was crushed by a mace.
The battle nun who casually blew off the monster’s head raised her arm numbly and hit it twice more. The body quickly turned to porridge. Blood dripped from the mace after completing the mission.
James’ pants got damp after watching the whole horrific scene. A hiccup leaked out. The combat nun, who had neatly finished the confirmation kill, straightened her back.
Green eyes looked at James, who was lying on the floor. When that gaze met, it felt like my mind was flashing back.
“Thank you for helping me— kuck?!”
Before James could even thank him, the battle nun hung a mace around her waist, expressionless, and dragged James by the back of his neck as she dragged her through the alley.
It was a movement that showed no mercy, as if dealing with a beast.
But James surrendered himself to the brutal touch without a single sound, not daring to rebel. rebellion? complain? Is that the bottom line?
How far did he have to be dragged in that state? James, who was thrown to the floor, let out an unsightly scream. He spit out the dust that had accumulated in his mouth and looked around.
There were familiar faces all around. It was the inhabitants of the village who survived in this mess.
All of them had puzzled expressions. The feeling that they had no idea why they were gathered here or what they were doing was revealed.
“Is he the last one?”
A soft voice rang out.
The voice was so clear and beautiful that people who had been staring at each other with puzzled expressions turned their heads at the same time to face the place where the voice echoed.
“That’s right. Stella Heretic Inquisitor.”
“like. Get ready.”
But somehow the atmosphere was strange. The battle nuns surrounded the survivors in a circle, besieging them. Not just one or two, but everyone gathered here.
When the watertight encirclement was completed, a woman called Stella the Heretic Inquisitor stepped forward. Like all the other combat nuns gathered here, she was a blonde, green-eyed woman.
“Come on, everyone. You are the lucky ones who survived the monster attack. All the others either died or were eaten. Even though I lost all my property, I guess it’s okay because I survived?”
Dude, Stella clapped her hands. In response, his chest swayed left and right. The attire was more than that of the combat nuns. Exposure was extremely high.
It was sacred enough to be worthy of being worn by the Heretic Inquisitor, and was sacred itself. It seemed that demons would be purified and disappear just by looking at those clothes.
I don’t know if it’s because of the clothes, but the impression was also very gentle and kind. His tone was also soft, and a soft smile appeared on his lips.
It was completely different from the battle nuns who felt like golems because they had no emotions.
“I also want to go back like this, but before that, you guys need to verify your innocence. The innocence of wondering if your eyes were disturbed by those things. Oh, don’t worry too much. It will be over soon.”
purity? The survivors tilted their heads. So was James. Purity, what the hell do you have to prove?
“Iris.”
“Yes, Heretic Inquisitor.”
The battle nun called Iris, who had brought James here, stood at Stella’s side.
“Go ahead.”
