The Saint Was the Devil’s Henchman chapter 1

1 episode

“Ahhh! aa!”

The baby did not stop crying.

The priest holding the baby expressed displeasure.

“Ugh, I don’t know why I’m crying all the time.”

“Ahhh!”

The monks around them shook their heads.

Priests and monks who are skilled in caring for children all came forward, but to no avail.

“I don’t think I’m hungry.”

“Did you check the diaper?”

“Ah, that’s it.”

The priest, who was comforting the baby, told the strange thing he had just gone through.

“Even so, when I tried to check the diaper, the kid just started playing, didn’t he?”

“Oh my, you can’t keep going like that.”

The cry of the baby grew louder as the other priest reached out his hand.

The crying was so loud that it made my ears go numb.

That was then.

“What is this?”

A woman in a white priest’s uniform entered the communal nursery.

Her name is Stella.

A priest of Parsism, the largest religion on the Graven Continent, he was currently in charge of this monastery.

“Hey, Stella.”

“Stella-sama!”

“Ahhh!”

Meanwhile, the baby was crying without notice.

The priest was perplexed and comforted the baby.

“Baby, did something embarrassing happen? Why do you keep crying?”

“Give me the child.”

“Yes? Ah, yes!”

The priest quickly handed over the baby to Stella.

Stella carefully held the baby in her arms and smiled.

“What is this baby’s name?”

Awesome! Awesome!

“This is Ethan.”

aa!

“Ethan! That’s a good name.”

ahh… … ! drop.

As soon as Stella called her name, to her surprise, the baby stopped crying.

The baby looked at Stella with her eyes wide open as if surprised.

Then the surroundings became noisy.

“Oh my God!”

“It’s a baby who has been crying for a long time, what is this?”

“This baby must have recognized Stella-sama.”

“Ah, maybe.”

Stella was embarrassed by the praise of the priests and monks.

“Maybe this baby already knows his name.”

“Then that’s a strange thing.”

“Adattattatta! Tta t t t att!”

“Oh my gosh, I’m already babbling!”

“Ho-ho-ho, clever guy.”

The scenery was beautiful to see from such a distance.

But in reality it wasn’t.

* * *

Ethan clenched his fern-like hand.

Anger rose from the depths of his stomach.

I broke my teeth by myself.

“Ahhh! aa!”

But only a cry came out of his mouth.

‘What the f*ck?’

He was shocked and quiet for a moment.

“I don’t think I’m hungry.”

“Did you check the diaper?”

Ethan yelled at the hand reaching out to me.

‘Where the hell is this girl touching?!’

“Ahhh! aah!”

Ethan was desperate.

I didn’t think the way I lived was right.

Whatever the purpose, he served as a servant of the Demon King.

So, even if one day I die at the hands of someone, I was willing to accept it.

But reincarnation?

How can things be like this?

After losing his family to the Demon King as a child, he became close to the Demon Lord and worked tirelessly to attract the Demon King’s eyes.

He had been reincarnated in a Parsian monastery!

“What is this?”

A soft voice came from somewhere.

In fact, even before he lost his family, he wasn’t really a good man.

That is why he was able to hide his blessing and deceive the Demon King.

Especially since he had been a servant of the Demon King for a long time, Edan’s tendencies were close to evil.

When he saw the gentle smiles of the priests and monks, his hands and feet shrank.

Hearing the woman’s benevolent voice gave Ethan goosebumps.

“What is this baby’s name?”

“This is Ethan.”

“Ethan! That’s a good name.”

Apparently, his name was derived from the representative saint of Parsism.

Ethan looked up at the woman holding him with dissatisfied eyes.

And I was astonished.

‘Uh, how did that woman get here?!’

Saint Eileen, who reincarnated herself at will, was here to make atonement.

I was so surprised that the crying that came out when I lifted it stopped.

“Oh my God!”

“It’s a baby who has been crying for a long time, what is this?”

“This baby must have recognized Stella-sama.”

But Ethan soon regained his composure.

‘stellar?’

Looking back and looking at the circumstances, it was now a hundred years after that.

There was no way that woman was still alive.

Even if he was still alive, he was an old man.

‘I thought the liver was falling! Why are you so unlucky that you resemble that woman!’

In his previous life, he was Ethan, who made a name for himself as a servant of a vicious and cruel demon king.

He threw all kinds of nasty swear words at Stella.

“Adattattatta! Tta t t t att!”

“Oh my gosh, I’m already babbling!”

“Ho-ho-ho, clever guy.”

But to Stella, it was just a cute babbling.

Stella smiled softly and shook Ethan softly.

‘f*ck. I’m exhausted.’

“Dia. 𝑀𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒 … .”

If the listener is in a bad mood, then the taste of swearing also comes from it.

But because the other person didn’t understand it, it was like swearing at the wall.

Besides, the baby’s physical strength was very poor.

I just got tired of talking like that.

Then Stella gave the baby to the priest.

“Ethan and the other babies seem to be doing well. It may be time to begin the ceremony of blessing the key.”

Ethan’s shoulders twitched at Stella’s words.

Key blessings!

It was a blessing that was given to those who were going to join the Pars church.

Only some of the children who received the ordinance exert their divine powers.

‘Sacred power? Is it divine power to me?!’

Ethan shook his head and clasped it.

No, I wanted to.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t do that because my arms were short.

‘no! Let me go, you guys!’

Ethan struggled desperately.

“Let’s hold on a bit, huh?”

But the benevolent and stupid monks did not get angry and carried him away.

Soon the Holy Heaven appeared.

There were places all over the continent where holy water gushed out like a hot spring.

And in such places, branches of Parsism were established.

Stella, following the procession of the monks with babies, stood on an artificial island in the center of Seongcheon.

It was to pray.

The monk wet Ethan’s hands and feet with water.

“Aww, that’s nice. I used to be so quiet.”

“… … .”

Ethan was half resigned.

No matter how much the dragon used, he could not escape the monk’s grasp.

The monk poured water on Ethan’s head with a small gourd.

‘Oh, it’s cold!’

The water was as cold as ice.

In an instant, goosebumps rose up my spine.

Like Ethan, the babies covered in cold water burst into tears.

“Aww! Aww!”

The sad cry of babies filled the Seongcheon.

Then, in response to Stella’s prayer, Seongcheon began to emit golden energy.

“Oh dear… … !”

Surprisingly, the crying of the babies gradually decreased.

It is because the holy water that emits golden light is getting warmer.

Watching the scene, Stella smiled.

‘This ceremony is going well.’

The blessing of the key serves to open the senses so that the baby can easily feel the divine power after he grows up.

This rite was only possible for a child who had not been tainted by worldly times.

It is because it is difficult for people who are tainted by the world to have a godly heart compared to pure children.

“yes? over there?”

Stella’s gaze soon stopped at one place.

“Ahhh! aah!”

Ethan burst into tears as before.

‘f*ck! It’s going to hurt!’

Even though he was a baby on the outside, he had all the memories of his previous life.

Having lived in the den of evil, his mind was full of various conspiracies and schemes.

Even if time had passed, it had been buried for a long time.

And divine power responded to his ungodliness.

Ethan reacted violently as if he was going to purify the evil.

The divine power was originally very merciless to these evil beings.

‘When you say you’re going to die, you’re alive, and then you’re going to kill me again!’

Ethan grinded his teeth.

Did you even read that mind?

Seongcheon suddenly caused a huge ripple.

“Damn!”

The monk who was washing Ethan quickly caught Ethan.

However, Ethan was swept away from the monk’s hands and swept away by a turbulence.

“Ahhh!”

In his previous life, he hadn’t cried a single scream despite all the pain, but now, an unsightly scream came out of Ethan’s mouth.

“Ethan!”

Stella jumped right into the castle to save Ethan.

What the hell does this mean?

It was an accident that had never happened in the history of Parsism.

A baby drowning during a ceremony was unacceptable.

But it was then.

The waves that swallowed Ethan lifted him up in the air.

And the auspicious golden light shimmered even more, and all the holy water in the holy heaven was sucked into Ethan’s body.

Seongcheon, who had never exposed the floor, was revealing the floor.

“This… It is a miracle!”

Stella fell to her knees at the amazing sight.

“My God, Pars!”

“Oh my gosh! I am alive to see miracles!”

Priests and monks also knelt in tears.

“Ahhh! aa!”

Meanwhile, baby Ethan, who had caused a miracle, was spitting out cursing.

‘Get me out of this damn sanctuary!’

The divine power penetrated his body to purify him.

A sharp piece of glass seemed to run through his veins.

But the damn priests didn’t care about Ethan’s pain.

“Heuk heuk, Pars-sama! It is an honour!”

“Oh, Pars! My God!”

Ethan was shocked by their bewildered eyes.

‘No, I have to do something… … !’

Surely, if they go on like this, they will die in the child abuse of their cruel neglect.

I didn’t like being reborn, but that didn’t mean I couldn’t continue to suffer.

‘First of all, you have to control this divine power that runs through your body.’

He quickly shook his head.

‘right. It was there!’

Magic training!

It was to apply the training method he had honed in his previous life.

Mana training methods were different from those of mana training or holy power training.

It was to deal with the magic of the devil (魔鬼).

It was something that anyone would say was crazy.

‘But for now, this is the only way.’

He closed his eyes tightly and began to control the divine power that ran through his body.

It was like cold, clear water coming into the crude mold that contained only boiling molten iron.

Although molten iron and clear water have different properties, they are fundamentally similar in that they are liquids with no fixed shape.

Ethan thought that his body had become the courage to receive divine power and used it.

Then, the divine power that had boiled over his body began to gradually subside.

‘Eat it!’

“Ugh!”

Ethan clenched his fists.

Even if the babbling sound came out of his mouth, he was happy enough that he could put up with it now.

It was possible because it was a training method to control and lock in the body, magical power, which is the toughest and most life-threatening energy in the world.

On the contrary, if boiling molten iron was poured into a glass containing only cold, clear water, the glass would have been unable to withstand it and would have been broken.

Although unstable, Ethan eventually succeeded in mastering the divine power.

Ethan’s body, which had absorbed all the divine power, shone with an auspicious light.

Holy water began to fill the dried up holy stream again.

Stella woke up to the coldness of Seongcheon, who had reached her ankles.

Sweeping Room!

She hurriedly approached Ethan, who was floating in the air.

Then he reached out and gently took Ethan in his arms.

Other priests and monks who were kneeling gathered around her.

“Stella, what the hell is this… … ?”

“Did you have any stigma on your child’s body?”

stigma.

It was the traces found on the bodies of children who were blessed with God’s blessings and were born with excellent understanding.

The stigmata were expressed as scars or spots.

And at the center of the miracles that are often reported by the denomination, those with stigmata were always together.

In the future, they grew up to be paladins or priests, and they performed exceptionally well.

That is why the denomination searched for and recruited those with stigma.

Because of this, the word for stigmata came out of their mouths.

“no. If there was, I would have informed Stella right away.”

Stella struggled as she saw Ethan crying in her arms.

‘How can you perform such a miracle even without stigmata? … .’

Then she said in a trembling voice.

“It is the birth of a holy child.”

For Ethan, it was an astonishing bullshit.
