It was Riley, the master of the magical sword, Velashtan.
“It’s already been dirty since I came.”
“under. That’s an excuse.”
Sophia smirked and passed that ridiculous excuse.
Riley asked Sophia.
“How was the meeting?”
“I think I’m going to the priest you talked about.”
“but. I thought it would be the case if it was the headmaster’s personality.”
With those words, Sophia revealed the doubts she had been holding back.
“What the hell is a person named Ethan? What could have caused an epidemic similar to green death?”
Riley pondered for a moment before opening her mouth.
“I’m a priest, but strangely, would you say that I feel closer to this place? He is an unpredictable human being.”
“What are you talking about?”
“We’ll find out when we meet.”
Riley handed Sophia a dagger.
widely!
Sophia grabbed the flying dagger.
“Anyway, here’s your chance, get ready to stab from the back.”
Sophia frowned in disbelief.
“Do you really think we are going to lose to that priest?”
“okay.”
“Aren’t you overestimating the priest too much? Although he is a formidable person who has caused many miracles, he is the strongest among his blood.”
Gilbert.
In addition to leadership, force played a part in his becoming the head of the clan.
Prepare to aim at Gilbert’s back like that.
A cold sweat broke out on Sophia’s hands.
Then Riley shrugged.
“You said That priest is closer to us than anyone else. It’s hard to think of a typical priest.”
“… … .”
Sophia swallowed dry saliva.
Riley laughed meaningfully and muttered.
“I am sure he will win.”

Night has also come to the new city.
In-young, wearing a deep gray hood, took advantage of the darkness to move secretly.
It was a movement that seemed accustomed to acting alone.
In-yeong, who had completely hidden her presence and roamed around the new city, soon arrived at the sewer of the city.
There was a foul smell and dirty water was running.
iron puck!
However, In-yeong jumped into the sewer without hesitation as if she was used to coming here.
When he went inside, several people were waiting for him.
“It’s later than I thought.”
They were the same people wearing gray hoodies.
“You’re not thinking useless thoughts, are you, High Priest Shunin?”
At those words, the gray hooded man’s body trembled.
He carefully took off his hood.
As his opponent said, he was Shunin Justia, the high priest of the Son of Man.
Shunin protested with an unfair face.
“Didn’t you ask God to avoid saying my name in case you don’t know?”
“You are late for the appointment. So I have no choice but to be suspicious.”
It was a respectful word, but it was clearly a disrespect.
Shunin sharpened his teeth inwardly.
‘You must have called my name on purpose. Damn bastards.’
It was a threat to reveal your identity to the church at any time.
Shunin had to lie flat on his face without any help.
“… sorry. First of all, I know that Priest Ethan did not bring anything in particular when he entered the new city. We didn’t even look for a separate warehouse.”
“In a word, there is no circumstance to doubt it?”
“I don’t know what you’re looking for, but I’ve checked it several times. There is nothing here.”
“Is it possible? Please try again.”
“How are you supposed to find something that you can’t find even if you keep looking for it?”
“It must be because you are incompetent. We have confirmed that it is in Nouvelle City. But the exact location is up to you.”
“Hey, listen to me. If you continue to follow Priest Ethan, you will become suspicious.”
Shunin almost prayed.
Then the other party snorted and opened their eyes.
“So, you mean you won’t keep our contract?”
“Isn’t that what you mean? I mean, I’ve done enough!”
“Have you done enough? It’s full of energy for that. With that energy, jump on your own feet and search for it. That’s something we must find.”
The unidentified Inyeong, who threatened Shunin, disappeared immediately.
“It’s like f*cking bastards. Who do you know as an idiot!”
Shunin couldn’t beat Boon and spit out swear words.
It was crazy and running around.
The Dark Followers have been making absurd demands of themselves day by day.
The more that happened, the more Shunin became more and more anxious.
‘That’s why they feel like they’re being chased.’
Of course, I couldn’t help but follow them now.
If he did, the eternal life promised by the Dark Follower might be blown away.
Eternal life was the goal he had been pursuing all his life.
I couldn’t afford to miss that clue.
“For now, all you have to do is do what you have to do.”
So Shunin moved like a puppet even though he was anxious.
On the other hand, there was a gaze watching him from afar.
“There was also a traitor.”
Ethan’s eyes narrowed, hiding in the dark.
* * *
Shunin looked around and ran out of the sewer.
Ethan followed after Shunin.
‘There is no other rat.’
Unsuitable for the external appearance of a priest, Shunin seemed accustomed to hiding in the dark.
However, it was the standard of the general public.
He didn’t even know that Ethan was following him.
Ethan followed in the footsteps of Shunin by eating cold soup.
That was then.
“… … ?”
Shunin suddenly looked back.
There was nothing behind it.
“Whew.”
Shunin sighed in relief.
In fact, he hadn’t noticed Ethan’s presence.
I was just checking to see if anyone was chasing me because I was scared.
It was when he turned his head forward again.
“A priest who betrayed the Church… … . Very fun.”
“Who are you?!”
Ethan shuddered and walked out of the dark alleyway.
Shunin was surprised and couldn’t speak properly.
“Wow, what! Yes, why are you here?”
“I always thought you were suspicious.”
“Priest Ethan! Could it be that you broke the insider’s access control and followed me? No matter how high your reputation is, why do you have to act so recklessly? I didn’t even get proper entry permit!”
On the contrary, Shunin was angry with Ethan.
It was clear that he was trying to avoid this situation by turning his words somehow.
But there was no way that trick would work for Ethan.
“You know that I came out without permission?”
Then Shunin became a honey-eaten dumb.
It was natural.
Because he couldn’t say that he was watching Ethan’s movements.
“No matter how much you are treated like a saint, how can you be so rude when you haven’t been officially appointed?”
“I’ve been talking to you ever since.”
With him, Ethan’s new model disappeared.
When Ethan reappeared, he was in front of Shunin’s nose.
Ethan grabbed Shunin’s neck with his fingers like a rake.
“Uh-huh!”
Shunin’s body floated in the air as it was.
“Let go, let go!”
Shunin struggled and moaned in pain.
However, Ethan did not blink an eye and looked at Shunin coldly.
“If you’re going to keep joking around like that, I’ll cut off that neck first.”
“Big, huh! How could a priest of the Pars Church be so ignorant!”
wow.
Ethan gave more strength to his hand.
Then, Shunin couldn’t even be more sarcastic and shut his mouth.
Ethan asked.
“Was the denomination tolerant enough to give excuses to traitors? Not at all in my memory.”
“Wow, what do you want?”
Only then did Shunin show a proper reaction.
Ethan admitted that he had seen everything.
But Ethan’s attitude was different.
“I have always had a question for you. Why do people in this situation think they have room to negotiate with me?”
Ethan frowned fiercely.
“You are not in a position to be sympathetic. From now on, you must confide in everything you know. I’ll just have to ask for some useful information from them.”
Ethan squeezed Shunin’s neck even more strongly.
Only then did Shunin realize.
Without any room for negotiation, Ethan was completely on top of him.
‘How can you be so good?’
Shunin’s eyes filled with fear.
Ethan was so accustomed to examining himself.
He was emphasizing that the only way to live is to open your mouth.
“My, if I disappear, there will be an uproar in the church. Can you afford it?”
“It’s a start again. Do you really want to die?”
“… … !”
“Listen. It’s not a big deal to deal with one of you in this mess.”
Ethan glared at Shunin with eyes full of life.
“At the same time, I won the favor of people for being a saint. So I am pretty confident.”
Shunin, overwhelmed by that life, became confused.
“What are you?”
It was natural.
Looking at Ethan now, no one would believe that he was a priest.
Rather, it would be more appropriate to call him a dark follower.
“me? well A ghost obsessed with revenge.”
“… … .”
“Let’s move on to discuss the details.”
After saying that, Ethan dragged Shunin and disappeared into the darkness.
Now all that was left for Shunin was pain.

The state of Nouvelle was in turmoil.
This is because missing cases of unknown English have occurred continuously in recent years.
All of the missing persons were priests or paladins.
It was precisely those who had close relations with him, including the high priest Justia.
Therefore, Nouvel City conducted its own investigation.
However, no clue has been found as to the culprit.
Whoops!
Torches burned, driving away the darkness of the night.
Some priests and paladins of the Pars Church were quietly escaping from the outer fortress.
All of them were trying to escape from the new city.
“You didn’t tell anyone, did you?”
“yes. You don’t have to worry.”
“Now we can get out of Nouvelle in just a little bit more. Until then, keep walking without rest.”
They were priests and paladins who had colluded with the Dark Followers.
A series of disappearances made them terrified.
This is because, starting with Shunin, the traitors of the denomination they had been grasping also disappeared one by one.
has disappeared?
No, you were right to think that he was dead.
That’s why he was trying to escape from Nouvel at night without anyone else’s knowledge.
Waiting for the disappearance to end was another way.
But even after a few days like that, there was no sign of an end to the case.
The person or organization that caused this incident has accurately identified and dealt with the traitor.
It was not a problem that could be solved simply by taking care of the body.
That was then.
Sasak!
I heard the sound of passing through the bushes.
A priest who was at the very rear of the fleeing line disappeared without a sound in an instant.
“… … ?!”
Only then did the traitors realize.
That the wolf, who had asked the priests or paladins one after another from the new city, came to them.
* * *
It was the Paladins who quickly responded to the crisis.
“Do not scatter, but unite!”
Paladins were formed as if to protect the priests.
And the priests prepared divine magic.
That was then.
Wheeik!
A spear of light made with divine magic flew and was lodged in the paladin’s forehead.
The paladin could not even scream and died as it was.
“It’s not just about getting together. Build a barrier!”
The priests quickly built a barrier using holy magic.
Then, while maintaining the formation, he began to run away at full speed.
‘Even if we get together, we will die if we fight head-on!’
The traitors immediately noticed the difference between their opponents and their ranks.
If you try, you will be like an ant attacking a lion.
Running away was the only way to survive.
Sasak!
But when there was a sound of cutting through the bushes, a new species jumped out.
