Possessed in a Game That Is Full of Mods chapter 81

Sun Priest Lucia – 4

“Ahh… … I know who you are. you stopped me He allowed me to die as a human being, who was dying from committing sins in pain.”

The speed at which the body collapsed began to accelerate little by little. The two legs below the pelvis had long since melted away, and so did the left arm.

Only his right shoulder, as if he hadn’t died yet, was wriggling ominously, showing signs of sprouting from the amputation.

It probably won’t matter if you leave it as it is, since you’ll be able to find rest before your new right arm rises. I silently listened to Lucia.

“You are kind. Could you please show me mercy one more time, and listen for a moment to the lamentation of this unpardonable sinner?”

Lucia asked in a trembling voice. If it was a game, the choice would have come to mind here, listening or not listening.

If you choose not to listen, the event is over, and if you choose to listen, the conversation continues a little more. However, there was absolutely no reason to choose the option not to come all the way here.

“I will listen. Tell me please.”

“A very kind person. Thank you for your deep kindness.”

Lucia smiled faintly, but black liquid overflowed between her smiles. Because of that, it felt more like a cry than a smile.

“In the past, I was a priest who was recruited to subdue this dungeon. Dozens of faithful priests set foot here.”

The voice grew more hoarse.

“However, this place was not a place we could destroy with our own strength… … After many sacrifices, it ultimately failed.”

Cough, Lucia coughed lightly. A black liquid gushed out from between her parted lips. A gurgling sound could be heard as liquid boiled in the throat.

Lucia vomited up the black liquid several more times after that, and continued with a much more hoarse voice than before, as if she could barely speak after spitting out everything in her mouth.

“I was one of those victims. It was because when I gave up on breaking through the rune dungeon and was about to return to the ground, a monster suddenly attacked and I fell under a bridge.”

Lucia, who fell under the bridge, unfortunately survived without dying.

If he had died from the shock of falling, he would have been martyred as a priest, but since he survived with this look, the ending was worse than dying.

“I, who should have died, somehow opened my eyes again. And when I open my eyes… … It is already irretrievably late.”

There was a gradual sadness in his voice. His half-rotten face contorted in pain.

“At first, I prayed earnestly to God. Please save me from this pain… … I have prayed for kindness and mercy to your followers.”

Sadness turned to melancholy.

The things he had done in the past, the blasphemy he had committed, half mad with pain. Now that he has returned as a single priest, it is difficult to bear in mind.

“But God never answered my prayers. To my great disrespect, I began to resent such a god. Swearing, cursing, and committing horrific acts that I cannot bear to speak of.”

As if proving the fact that Lucia’s heart was shaking, the amputated surface of her right shoulder began to wriggle more violently.

Noticing the unusual atmosphere, Lucia stopped talking and took a deep breath. The mouth opened again only after some time had passed and the wriggling of the cutting surface subsided.

“My resentment has been going on for a very long time. On and on, until a kind person comes along and brings me to my senses with pain. It was a sin that could never be forgiven.”

I could see her lips covered in black liquid quivering.

“But you prevented me from insulting God any more. At the last moment, he returned to human form and guided me to the right path so that I could die as a priest serving God. I don’t know how to repay these graces I have received from you, as soon as the fire of life is quenched… … .”

His head turned completely towards me. Even though the two pupils were covered in black liquid and should not be functioning properly, for some reason I felt as if they were looking straight at me.

“Kind man, you must have come from the Holy Land. He must have been very faithful, since he used the divine catalyst so liberally… … .”

Lucia mistook me for a person from the Holy Land.

This was the reason why the event only proceeded when the Divine Catalyst placed in the boss room was used 3 or more times. Only then will Lucia, who mistook the player for a member of the Holy Land, ask for the next request.

If you use something other than the divine catalyst in the boss room, you won’t be able to proceed. The detailed reason was unknown. It’s probably because it’s not Lucia’s own thing, so there’s only a lot of speculation that it’s like that.

Of course, Lucia was completely unaware of the fact that the divine catalyst she had dropped was contaminated, and that she could use it even if she did not believe in God.

“You are faithful and kind.”

The voice was wet. He stammered as if his throat were choking, and then the next words barely continued.

“I… … Can I go back to God again?”

There was a lot of weeping mixed with the words. It was a question I would have asked with a great wail if my face had been intact.

“Even I, who insulted God, cursed God, and resented God… … Will I be able to return to being a priest again and be embraced by God?”

After that, Lucia kept her mouth shut while waiting for my answer. Now it was time to come up with the second option for the event.

Yes. Or not.

If you choose ‘not so’ here, the sinner who committed blasphemy without overcoming this pain, saying it was natural, cries out in sorrow, asking what kind of salvation he wants.

And depending on the player’s choice, they could either leave Lucia to suffer forever, or give her to rest with their own hands and leave the Rune Dungeon.

In each case, additional lines were also present. In the case of leaving him alone, he begged not to leave him like this, and in the case of killing him, he was happy to find rest but worried about falling into hell.

“That’s right.”

However, I had no intention of choosing that option.

“God will surely welcome the fact that you have returned to the bosom of God more than the fact that you have committed a crime.”

Even in the game, I had never done anything to deny Lucia’s words.

By the way, it is unknown whether Lucia really returned to God. It was something that was not mentioned even after combing through the game’s item descriptions.

So, depending on your point of view, both options can be seen as lies.

But most people didn’t care about that and chose ‘yes’ so that Lucia could sleep comfortably. According to the statistics for the 10th anniversary, 93% of first-clear users said yes.

“Ahh… … Fortunately, the. To think that even a sinner like me is warmly welcomed, God… … You are really generous.”

The smile on his lips grew even thicker. It was a very satisfied smile, not the slightest hint of sadness.

“A kind person… … For the favor bestowed upon me, deep in my heart… … Thank you. Although all I can give you is words of gratitude… … Only that sincerity, by all means, be conveyed… … .”

The heartbreak and sighs that were abundantly buried in every word had disappeared. Her voice had diminished to an almost inaudible level, but her breathing was much more comfortable than at first.

Lucia licked her lips one last time.

“Benevolent Sun… … Merciful moon… … This sinner… … by your side… … I’ll go back, Nai, everything… … .”

At the end of those words, the lips that had been swollen stopped. Her chest, which should rise and fall with every breath, stopped moving.

I gently closed my open eyes covered in black liquid with two fingers. It was impossible to do this in the game, but it was fine now.

This was the best I could do. The game didn’t mention how to turn Lucia back into a human, and I don’t have the power to do that.

After closing my eyes, I took Lucia’s Divine Catalyst that had fallen nearby. This was an item to be handed over to the Heretic Inquisitor later. The event isn’t over yet.

Leaving behind Lucia’s corpse, which had turned into a black liquid and began to melt away, she moved toward the runestone.

The knight commanders and the Heretic Questioner will take care of the guy who will appear up there.

“Aren’t you worried about the safety of the guests?”

“yes? what?”

Selene looked at the knight commanders standing comfortably without being wary of the surroundings and asked a question in a bewildered voice. I don’t know when or where something will pop up, but I can’t believe how carefree he is.

“Didn’t the distinguished guest jump down into the Rune Dungeon alone? how-“

“Ah, did you mean Delta?”

Rize smiled.

“I thought so at first, but when I think about it, I already explained everything in the morning. I was a little surprised that the expression “jumping down” is not a metaphor, but… … It must have been once or twice that he had such an eccentricity. It’s time to get used to it.”

“… … It sounds like you’ve done that kind of thing often in the past.”

“I did a lot. We must have cut off 10 years of our lifespan by being surprised by her? I will charge you all later.”

“… … .”

“I know what you’re thinking, but if you’re worried about Delta, you don’t have to.”

Rize continued with a calm voice.

“There was never a time when Delta didn’t keep what it said. It’s obviously impossible to hear, and it’s just nonsense, but before I know it, I come back with a calm success. Are you worried about the loss?”

“It’s because I can only hear nonsense, but he is a person who has the ability to keep his word. This time, he said he would defeat Rune Dungeon in 30 minutes and come back, so he will appear sooner or later.”

Erica supplemented Rize’s words. After hearing that explanation, Selene decided to slightly revise her evaluation of Delta.

Didn’t you say you were a new article? I couldn’t understand at all what he was doing on a regular basis to make the knight commanders react like that in such a short time.

… … In fact, it seemed to make a little sense. Because he was the one who defeated the heresy judge in Dalian with an overwhelming difference in skill. One skill is certain.

Even if you put aside what you do.

“I don’t know if we’re in a position to offer you guys this kind of invitation, but it doesn’t matter if we take a break for now. The monsters appearing in Delta are after the scenery here has changed so that you can tell at a glance—”

In an instant, the ground rumbled and shook. Because of that, Claudia’s words paused for a moment.

“… … It was.”

The black liquid that was covering the whole place began to gather somewhere. Vegetation and sky returned to their original colors. Even the sunbeams were much brighter.

Claudia grabbed the handle of the greatsword she had set down on the ground again. Rize and Erica drew their weapons, and Iris pointed the tip of her longsword at the place where the black fluid was gathering.

“I guess this is the change Delta was talking about. Everyone, prepare for battle. It is time to fight.”

“Is that black liquid?”

“It would be weirder if it wasn’t. Even if you pretend, he’s a sinister guy, isn’t he?”

The black liquid gathered in one place turned into a strange monster. It was a six-legged beast with six legs, two heads, and a mace weight attached to its tail.

Dozens of tentacles protruding in a straight line along the spine wriggled eerily. Anyone can see that I’m a monster, he said with his appearance.

“power. Prepare for battle.”

Selene commanded briefly and succinctly. The battle nuns raised their rapiers in unison.

The monster looked left and right with its two heads, then smacked its lips. The tongue sticking out of his mouth licked the nearby area.

“Heaven is for the faithful.”

Silver divine power dwelled in the thinnest, sharpest silver rapier. Those purple eyes burned coldly.

“Give hell to unbelievers.”
