Ready – 3
It was only when we faced each other that I could recognize the Moon Pope’s appearance at a glance.
Long, elegant silver-gray hair, which could be called the moon itself, hung down the back of her neck. The tip was right before it hit the floor.
The long bangs that fell between the eyes were almost touching the lips. Her beautiful purple eyes twinkled between her silver-gray hair, making it believable that the jewels had been inserted as they were.
Around her neck was an ornament studded with purple jewels, just like her pupils. It was an ornament similar to the one worn by the Pope of the Sun.
The clothes were also no different.
Clothes that are close to see-through that show the skin intact. Clothes that are more difficult to find in uncovered parts than bare parts. In fact, it was the same outfit as the Pope of the Sun.
It was also the same that the only clothes that covered important parts were a very thin piece of cloth, and only a garter belt and stockings were worn separately. Also, there is nowhere to put your eyes.
The only difference was that the area of the sleeve was much smaller, but in fact it was a meaningless difference. Would it fit in a situation where the whole body is wrapped in a see-through that is no different from being naked?
ㅡ Again.
I was awakened by the sound of high heels hitting the marble floor. The Moon Pope was descending the stairs step by step. The moonlight shone like a halo behind her rich silver hair.
It was a similar situation to when I went to see Floretta, but the atmosphere was completely different.
If the Pope of the Sun was coming to greet me, the Pope of the Moon was more likely to come to interrogate me. His expression went beyond blunt to the point of being brutal.
‘… … It must be tense.’
However, I couldn’t concentrate because of that guy’s chest, which shook violently with each step and showed off its presence and elasticity. He let out a long sigh inside.
The person staring coldly at this side had an extremely serious expression, but because of the clothes and chest, it only looked like a concept. However, it would have been a catastrophe in the literal sense to have had a different reaction here.
I kept my mouth shut and tried desperately to keep my composure. As if the Pope of the Moon took my actions in a different way, he untied his hands that were clenched in front of his belly.
“If you want to keep your mouth shut, so be it. The story ends here.”
The arm was lightly whipped. Then the door I had entered began to emit even stronger moonlight. Even though it was quite far away, a shadow formed under my feet.
“I won’t waste any more time. For whatever reason, it would be wise not to seek my help.”
“I know. I am not here to seek help from the Holy Father.”
At my words, Luna’s eyebrows twitched slightly.
“There may be limits to the favor bestowed by the Sun Pope, stranger. Crossing the line is an unwise choice. I’ll ask again. What brought you here?”
“You could say that I came here to ask for instruction on the ‘lunar eclipse’, but… … Permission will never be granted. I just came here because I have something to say to the Holy Father.”
“Speak… … You are truly insolent.”
The steps going down the stairs became slightly faster. Naturally, the shaking of the chest also intensified.
“Did you dare to step into the Pope’s residence just for the sake of a conversation?”
“Because it’s worth it.”
Seeing my self-confidence enough to make me feel shameless, the Pope of the Moon fell silent as if speechless. Taking advantage of that gap, I quickly nailed it.
“A monster from the underworld of the Holy Kingdom. It has something to do with it.”
The sound of high heels clattering ceased. At the same time, Luna’s face turned white.
Thanks to the moonlight pouring from behind her, her previously pale skin had turned pale to the point where she couldn’t see it even after washing her eyes.
“… … Now, what did you say?”
“I did not come to fight the Pope, nor did I come to receive a lunar eclipse. To say that I will come after defeating the monsters sleeping in the basement of the Holy Kingdom, that is the whole purpose of coming here.”
“If you say one more word, I will consider it blasphemy. Such a blatant lie—”
“I bet His Holiness the Pope has already received a new revelation from the full moon?”
As if hit hard, the Moon Pope stopped what he was about to say, flinching.
Revelation is not given to one pope separately, but to both popes. Just as the sun and the moon are inseparable from each other, so too were the popes.
If the Sun Pope received a revelation concerning the future of my defeating the monster, then the Moon Pope also receives a revelation concerning the future of my defeat of the monster.
There was no doubt that this was a fact that Floretta had guaranteed.
“… … What do you want to say? Did you think you could change my mind with those words?”
“It can’t be. Absolutely not.”
There was no need to convince the Moon Pope right now. No matter how I try to convince you, I will just refuse because I have already closed my mind. In fact, it was pouring water into the bottomless dock.
Luna was the one who threw her hand at her younger sister, who said she would do useless things. To break that resolute will requires results, not promises.
‘Now that the revelation has come down, I don’t think I’ve completely given up hope.’
Luna herself must have received the revelation and harbored thoughts. I’m just shrinking myself to avoid the terrible frustration that I feel at the moment when hope turns into despair.
“I can’t break the will of the Holy Father. I am well aware of it.”
Anyway, my purpose wasn’t to convince the Pope of the moon from the beginning. I didn’t even expect to receive a lunar eclipse. I didn’t come to convince you in the first place, so how can I get such a result?
This was merely a preliminary measure to prevent the Pope of the Moon from using force.
It was because, if he belatedly noticed that the entrance to the basement of the Holy Kingdom had been opened, he would most likely come to that place and go on a rampage, asking what he was doing.
If you come out after beating the boss, and the Moon Pope is rampaging outside, post-processing becomes seriously difficult. It was right to forward it in advance before such a thing happened.
“However, the Pope will never lose anything. I bet you I’m a bluffer, so if I go in to subjugate monsters and die, that’s it, I’ll seal the entrance again. If it is successful, it will be a great result.”
“… … .”
“I know. That sounds like bullsh*t. Because the Heretic Inquisitor, the Heretic Questioner, and His Holiness the Pope of the Sun didn’t believe me at first.”
In particular, Selene said that she couldn’t believe it and even verified my skills. After being completely crushed by me, I calmly accepted it.
“I won’t even ask you to believe me. I know better than anyone that this is such nonsense.”
I spoke calmly.
“But I can promise you one thing.”
The purple eyes seemed to tremble just slightly.
“It will never happen that His Holiness the Pope sacrifices himself.”
“The lunar eclipse… … .”
After leaving the cathedral, Selene, who had been waiting nearby, asked a question with her words trailing off. I shook my head slightly from side to side. Both of them shut their mouths as if they understood the meaning at once.
‘Still, it worked out well enough.’
In the worst case, he was even prepared to pounce on me. However, despite my determination, the Pope of the Moon let me go without taking any action.
She could have called the battle nuns and the Heretic Questioner whenever she wanted, but Luna didn’t. Perhaps even the Pope himself had a desire to believe in me in a corner of his heart.
“A lunar eclipse is good to have, and not enough. A solar eclipse is enough for divine spells.”
“… … I’ve been feeling this for a long time, but the VIP is really full of confidence. It’s as if you have a corner that you firmly believe in.”
At Stella’s words, I responded with a smile. Both of them will wonder what the hell I believe in and be so confident.
The knight commanders know that it’s because of his ‘secret’, but I didn’t say that to Selene and Stella. I didn’t ask for it, and I didn’t even want to tell you first.
After that, there wasn’t much of an atmosphere to exchange conversations with, so I thought back to the pattern of the creatures abandoned by the gods. As of now, I had to look at the super long game unconditionally.
Overall, the DLCs of Brunet 4 are evaluated as being extremely difficult, and as befits the final boss of the DLC, the defense power is absurd and even the physical strength goes crazy.
In terms of defense and elemental resistance, it was easy to see it as a higher compatibility of Lucia phase 1. But for me now, there was only one way to attack his weak attribute, eclipse.
The super long term was an inevitable trend.
“Im here.”
The two people in front stopped. The entrance itself was a place not far from the cathedral, so it was a short time to arrive. At first glance, it looked like an ordinary building.
It was said that the reason why the Vatican was created in the place where the monster slept was to suppress the monster with the Holy Power of the Popes, but unfortunately it was of no use.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t come out, it was because he wasn’t coming out.
If he wanted, he could break out of the Holy Barrier the Pope had spread out whenever he wanted. The reason he didn’t do that was simply because he had recovered less strength.
Even though he was far short of his prime, he was far stronger than the two Popes put together, so it wasn’t for nothing that he was given the grandiose name of a creature forsaken by God.
Actually, the protagonist of Brunet 4 is a much crazier guy who goes alone into a place that is no different from his house and defeats it.
“With this, you can open the door and enter. We’ll be waiting for you here. Please come back safely.”
Selene handed over the old key. I took it and approached the wooden door. It was a door that looked like it would break if struck with a sword.
Of course, that’s just how it looks. The reality was the divine barrier that the Popes had directly opened. Since the existence of the monster had to be hidden, the appearance was unavoidable.
“I hope you are safe, my dear. I wish you luck.”
Listening to Stella’s little cheers, I put the key into the keyhole. When the lock was released, the door swung open. He grabbed the doorknob and opened it wide at once.
In an instant, a black shadow stretched out from within and attacked me. I was surrounded by shadows without a chance to resist. Behind me, I heard Stella and Selene gasp.
