Possessed in a Game That Is Full of Mods chapter 84

secret – 3

“Are you not going to answer me? If so, you can force them to vomit.”

Selene pushed her head closer. Their bodies were naturally attached to each other. My thighs wrapped in tights dug between my legs, and I felt the smooth feel of the tights.

A rapier was in his right hand. The blade that reached under the chin was a conversation and a nabal at the moment of need, and it was ready to stab and kill him right away.

The left hand was squeezing my throat very tightly, but it didn’t choke me so hard that I fainted or couldn’t speak, even though it gave me pain.

It was a very exquisite power control, befitting the name of the heretical ‘interrogator’.

I expected everything up to this point. I touched the pope, who was the closest to his faith itself, but rather, he tolerated me a lot just because he didn’t kill me right now.

“Of course I have to answer. Instead, how about letting go of this hand?”

“Why should I?”

“… … Okay. I say in this condition. Where can I begin?”

“all.”

From between her lips, a voice with an eerie tone leaked out.

“Tell me everything you know, everything, without any lies. If not.”

The blade of the rapier glowed in a dusky silver color. Cook, the tip of the blade lightly touched the bottom of my chin. I felt the cool, cold moonlight.

Just as the divine power of the sun embraced warmth, the divine power of the moon contained a cold chill. A chill creeped up from under his chin.

“I will take you on a tour of the lowest floor of the Heretic Inquisition. It is a space where you have no choice but to vomit out everything you know and don’t know. You will never face the sky again, so you will have to choose your answer carefully.”

“I will.”

I answered meekly.

My purpose is to persuade Selene to skip all the intermediate steps and go face the final boss of the DLC. There was no reason to be arguing here.

“Did you know that the Pope of the Moon personally descended there when I and the other knight commanders had an audience with His Holiness the Pope of the Sun?”

“There is nothing we don’t know about when it comes to things within the Holy Kingdom. From the very moment the Moon Pope visited the Cathedral of the Sun, we watched everything that happened inside.”

“Then you must have also seen the violence that the Moon Pope wielded against the Sun Pope.”

“I saw them all. But that’s what the Holy Father did. This is not the place for us to step out and judge. Are you trying to find fault with that now?”

“I am not talking about facts per se. That’s why it had to be.”

“… … .”

Selene frowned. From the Heretic Questioner’s point of view, it was natural for him to react like that, since he wouldn’t be happy with revealing what happened that day.

The unprecedented situation in history of the Pope of the Moon being violent against the Pope of the Sun was discovered not by people from the Holy Land, but by people from the Empire, and even more so by people with positions equal to those of the Knights of the Silver Dawn.

I would like to make them forget somehow, but since I keep bringing up the situation at that time, I have no choice but to frown.

“They say you can’t change fate. And the words that he cannot give up his Holiness the Pope of the Moon. Don’t you, Heretic Questioner, guess something?”

“Don’t try to go overboard and don’t ask me back. You just have to be upfront and tell everything you know. Did you really think that I would fall for such a shallow trick and start talking about it all by myself?”

The strength of the hand holding my neck grew even stronger. But it wasn’t to the point where I still couldn’t answer or passed out from shortness of breath. It was simply that the pain I was receiving was increasing.

“The bottom line is this. What the Sun Pope is about to do, the Moon Pope regards as meaningless. Even if you are doing it for yourself and not for anyone else.”

“… … .”

Up until this point, if you had witnessed what had happened inside the cathedral, you could infer it with just a little thought, so Selene only frowned and couldn’t refute it.

I also had no clue why the Pope of the Moon would do such a thing in a situation where we were staring at him openly. It could have been after we left.

It would have been understandable if the situation had been so urgent, but it was also questionable that the Pope of the Moon did not look urgent at all, judging by his expression and actions.

After beating the boss, I thought I should ask myself.

“Then the key is one. What is the action the Pope of the Sun intends to do for His Holiness the Pope of the Moon?”

“… … .”

“But it is as if the answer has already been given. Since you said you couldn’t give up the Pope of the Moon, the relationship would be twisted enough to have to use such an expression. Or that we will no longer be able to meet.”

“… … .”

Selene was still speechless. Either my words hit the mark, or I’m thinking deeply about something.

In fact, what happened when we had an audience with the Sun Pope was truly accidental. Did I ever imagine that the pope would do something like that in the first place? It wasn’t even an event from the game.

However, as I was organizing my thoughts that night, I came to the conclusion that if I used this well, I might be able to skip all the middle stories of the DLC.

Because, the Pope of the Sun was not pleased with her sister’s sacrifice. And because he had a strangely strong trust in me.

‘For now, the background settings haven’t changed much.’

The reason the Pope of the Moon mentioned sacrifice was related to the final boss of the DLC, a creature forsaken by the gods. The revelation came that one of the Popes would have to sacrifice to get it.

It was the Pope of the Moon who took on the role of the scapegoat here.

Of course, as can be seen from the results of the destruction of the Holy Kingdom without the intervention of the main character, the operation eventually returns to failure and the remaining Pope is also killed during the battle.

‘In the game, I thought both of them were supposed to be like that and passed it on.’

Here, the Pope of the Sun, who was supposed to take over the power, rejected that future and was trying to find a way. It was completely different from the story of the game, where both popes accepted the sacrifice.

This is why I decided to skip the story. If either side is defying fate, the persuasion process will be much easier than the game.

“So the word sacrifice is—?!”

At that moment, Selene threw me vigorously. After flying for a long time to the other side of the chapel, I rolled over the silver carpet on the floor several times.

“Ugh?!”

“There seems to be more explanation left, but I’ll just listen to this. What I have heard so far is enough to make a decision.”

An eerie voice came from behind. I quickly corrected my posture. Selene, who looked unusual, was walking towards me with an expressionless face.

He held a divine catalyst in his left hand. The rapier in his right hand radiated the dusky moonlight. Soon after, dark silver divine power began to erupt from the divine catalyst.

“At first, I thought you guys were people who wouldn’t open their mouths, and I was thinking of asking you to keep the cathedral’s affairs a secret, as it would be difficult for rumors to spread.”

The click and click of the high heels echoed off the marble walls and floor.

“However, I just had a gut feeling that this shouldn’t be the case.”

I hastily drew the bloody sword. A silver flash flashed as soon as I raised my weapon. I reflexively brought my arm to the trajectory of the flash.

ㅡChae Ae-Aeng!

With a sharp sound like a glass window being shattered, a strong impact ran through my arm. A silver flash that just came in. It was one of the patterns in the Heretic Questioner’s boss fight.

It was no different from a signal that I would fight like this, but instead I let out a sigh of relief inside.

‘Even if he didn’t stab me to death, he was more than half successful.’

I was most worried that Selene might stab me to death while listening to the story, but since I avoided that, all I have to do is persuade her step by step from now on.

“Why did you tell me that?”

However, it didn’t seem like they could get through this situation without armed conflict.

A small moon rose behind Selene’s back as she walked towards me. A shadow from the moonlight shone in front of him. The full moon melted through the darkness.

“There must have been a way to say nothing, to remain silent forever. But why did you go so far as to reveal what you knew to me while creating a situation where we were alone?”

Another moon rose. on the left side too. on the right side too. And above the head too.

“What did you do that for?”

Inside the chapel, as many as four full moons were rising.

“What you know is a secret that should never be leaked out. But you seem to be far from a heavy-mouthed person. So, I can never trust your silent oath.”

The tip of the rapier was pointed at me.

Even this situation was expected. If it were the Heretic Questioner, he would try to stop the Pope’s sacrifice from leaking out, even by killing me.

Why, inevitably, when it spreads that one of the Popes must be sacrificed? The question will follow, and the rumors will grow like a snowball and grow out of control.

It was a problem even if the existence of a monster sleeping underground was known, and it was a problem even if it was not reported. Either way, it was as if the faith had been completely denied.

“I know that the Emperor takes a great interest in you. Even taking that into account, even if it means giving my life to the angry emperor, I will do what I have to do now.”

Selene took the rapier’s unique charging stance. Then, a silver rapier of the same shape protruded from the moon floating in all directions.

“You should go to the Heretic Inquisition with me.”

I lowered the tip of the knife slightly and took a stance. The persuasion didn’t work right away, but I had a separate plan in case of this situation. I had no intention of having a boss battle with Selene here.

It was time to skip all the explanations and go straight to the point.

Selene drew a silver trail and charged. once. You only need to bounce it once. At that moment, I let out a loud cry as I brought my sword into the attack trajectory.

“If only there was a way not to make sacrifices!”

ㅡ Jjaeng!

The bloody sword collided with the rapier, creating a bloody rupture. The point of the knife stopped right in front of me, and the fake attacks that were flying at me flickered and disappeared.

The rising full moon was setting. Inside the chapel, only a faint dark silver was once again hovering. The divine power wrapped around the rapier and the divine power flowing through the divine catalyst disappeared.

I calmed down my raised voice and opened my mouth again in a calm voice.

“If you brought it up because there was a way to catch that monster without the sacrifice of the Holy Father, what would you do?”

Selene’s eyes trembled.

“… … yes?”
