Episode 151
44. Chapter of the Raid (1)
I covered myself in the grass and carefully looked around the ruins.

Maybe it was an image to avoid any pursuit, or it seemed that no sentinel was set up outside.It could be seen as a kind of deceptive tactic, but it only worked for people I didn’t know, and it was rather beneficial for me, who knew the whole story.
‘Can you detect any other energy or spirit other than Magi?’
[No, there is none. I didn’t even put a warning spell on it. If it’s thorough camouflage, it’s camouflage.]
I would never have imagined that one student would attack alone.
I carefully removed the yam from the sheath.
Sureung-
A sharp sound tickles the eardrums, and the silver blade shatters the moonlight and sparkles.
‘I’m here to rescue Iliana in a hurry. The rest will be left up to the Judiciary.’
If they dragged it into a long battle, Illiana didn’t know if she would be harmed.
They were crazy people who infiltrated the Artel dormitory during the festival and kidnapped a student.
The top priority is to stop the ritual and rescue Illyana.
Once I set my goals, it felt like my vision was straightening out.
“Then let’s go.”
I cautiously headed towards the entrance to the ruins.
There were a total of three entrances to the ancient ruins, and two of them were traps connected to the maze.
You have to go through all kinds of booby traps to get into an imaginary labyrinth where there is nothing.
I left a large mark with a sword at the entrance where the latter was not confused.
“This should be enough.”
I took a moment to catch my breath and relaxed my body.
Now that I have left a mark, all that is left is to enter the tiger’s den.
Before embarking on a full-scale battle, it was essential to stabilize the mind and body.
The opponent is not like a mediocre monster.
As they worked blindly, there must be at least the number of people equal to the power of the Judgment Bureau.
The key to winning or losing in a battle with such an opponent is how coolly you judge the situation.
Besides, my weapons were not just swords, spears, and spirits.
“Fix log.”
Suddenly, a holographic window appeared in the air.

These were the bugs that came along with fixing the missing missing thing that Rona caused last time.
Because there were so many bugs that were recorded in the log at that time, there were about a hundred.
Among them, only bugs that seemed useful were organized and registered.
In any case, it is not possible to just launch a fire attack against those who are trying to summon the god of death.
“You’re all gone, you bastards.”
Having done a rough inspection, I immediately set my feet towards the entrance of the ruins.
Fortunately, the structure of the ruins had not changed at all from what we saw in the game.
After lightly evading or dismantling the installed trap, and breaking through the complicated fork in the road.
I could sense a glimmer of popularity.
As I hold my breath and press against the wall, I hear a voice resounding in the cavity.
“How are things going?”
“He said it was almost done. It’s because you’ve had a base here from the beginning.”
Gently, I turned my head to check, and I saw two people wearing robes.
The members of the church were clear.
“Damn, what kind of trouble is this for one stupid bastard?”
“That’s right. If we had been quiet, there would have been no need for a sentry.”
“It doesn’t matter that the sentry has traps installed anyway, right? No matter how much the Judgment Bureau, it will take some time to get through it.”
One of the monsters giggled.
To be sure, there were a lot of traps installed to get to this place.
Among them, there were also traps that could be life-threatening.
Paradise Academia Don’t underestimate the power of the deceased.
Currently, most of the traps were either marked or dismantled by myself.
Once the Reinforcements of the Judiciary arrive, they will be able to break through with a high pass.
“By the way, what is the state of the sacrifice?”
“Seolbaek himself is in control. He is also… … Because it’s sadistic.”
There was no need to fight, so it was time to bypass them and go.
Words that can’t be easily passed over are slammed into the eardrum with precision.
“Wow… … Is it Artel? She was really pretty. Even if it wasn’t just a sacrifice.”
“What does that matter? As long as the Lord comes down, everything you want will come true.”
“That’s right, kkkkkk.”
They were human scum that felt disgusting from the tone of voice.
I’d rather see Golden Sun’s men looking better.
Those cubs were to touch people, who would not touch them.
“You can’t.”
“… … ?!”
When I got out of the dark, the guys who were talking about it were startled.
Either way they’ll all die or be suppressed.
Killing a few sentries would actually help the operation.
“Who are you?”
Before they could even figure out who I was, I quickly swung my sword.
Following the flashing blade, Lioner’s lightning strikes.
flash.
The dark ruins were dyed pure white for an instant, and red blood splattered on the wall.
“Hey, hey-!”
Looking at his colleague who had become a corpse in an instant, one of them was terrified.
Saying that the name is the Church of Death, what else are you afraid of dying?
But I had no intention of saving him.
As Keter unfolded, the arrow that flew out pierced the other one’s neck.
“Ouch! Gagging!!! I’m afraid… … .”
A sentry that can’t even scream and pours blood foam.
Having defeated both of them at once, I went straight down the passageway.
There is no need to retrieve the body.
After all, when we arrived at the plaza while preparing for the ceremony, we had to have a quarrel.
After that, he managed to deal with the roaming sentries, evading them appropriately, and headed deeper underground.
Keter was really useful in this situation.
There was no need to approach the opponent, and if he fired an arrow from a close range, he was easily subdued.
The results of the rigorous training under Helen were finally starting to shine.
‘When everything is finished, I’ll have to buy you some pudding after a long time.’
So let’s get to the depths of the ruins.
A wide open square appeared.
To be precise, the structure is more like a synagogue than a square.
And there, the members of the church wearing robes were in the midst of preparing for the ceremony.
I wonder if there were some victims even before the kidnapping of Iliana.
Dark red blood splattered around the altar carved out of stone.
Remains that looked like human bones were rolling on the floor.
Not only that.
Next to the altar was full of all kinds of unclean objects.
Special artifacts and bizarre-shaped dolls used in necromancy and black magic.
[Ugh-! these guys… … .]
Lioner hated and hated the evil energy that permeated the entire space.
This was the reason why the Church of Death was so difficult to deal with.
All members of the Order were either Necromancers or Warlocks, unless they were on the same level as the sentries I dealt with a while ago.
They are not afraid of death.
Since they have already sold their souls to Thanatos, the moment they are killed, they will resurrect as undead.
It wasn’t that he was revived as a low-level undead, such as a zombie or a skeleton.

Minimum Rich.Occasionally, excellent necromancers or warlocks were resurrected as Elder Liches.
So priests are absolutely necessary.
Unless it is purified with divine power or turned into ashes that cannot be revived at all.
They will attack you endlessly.
【Then what do you plan to do? If you do this, you will eventually be found out.]
Even for the 4th Star Thunder Spirit, it is quite difficult.
But this was also part of the operation.
‘I did that to get you caught.’
[…] … ?]
‘lets think. Do these guys think I’m here to fight alone?’
As the sentries said earlier, they already knew that the Judiciary was after them.
In such a situation, entering alone would be suicidal.
On top of that, there might be serious problems with Illyana’s life.
However, the moment they misunderstand that the Judiciary has invaded, the situation changes.
Realizing that the guards had been killed by the shift personnel, they would send their elite troops into the defense.
Then there will be a minimum number of people managing the ritual.
Then it was my turn to go.
‘The one who is impatient loses.’
Reflecting on those words, I hid myself in a deeper and more secret place.

“👌… … ok… … !!”
Illyana let out a painful moan at the rushing pain.
It was torture that lasted for a long day. The mind and body were exhausted as much as they were exhausted, and even proper thinking was impossible.
And in front of her, the headmaster Seol-baek had an alluring smile.
stigma of pain.
The highest curse that can be counted against an opponent just by touching it lightly.
It was the magic that I had placed on Illyana at the moment I bumped into him on the street yesterday.
“Usually, that’s enough. After all, El’s clan is different, right?”
“Uh-. inhale.”
Seolbaek had maintained a relaxed and interesting attitude until now, but by this point, he started to get annoyed.
In order to increase the success rate of the descent ceremony, the sacrifice had to accept the ritual.
But Illyana was still not broken, so this was a headache in its own way.
“I can’t cut off my limbs… … , it is very difficult.”
So, let’s put a curse on the mind to forcibly manipulate the mind.
She is the head of the Church of Death and the high priest who oversees all ceremonies.
It’s about rubbing people’s minds at will, and for her, it was easy to raise a corpse.
“It would have been nice in many ways if I had just accepted it quietly.”
Ironically, the denomination was also running out of time.
The moment when Seol-baek was about to reach out to Iliana the cursed hand.
“Master!!!!”
“… … .”
A man with a desperate expression entered her room. He was one of Seolbaek’s closest aides, a necromancer.
“What happened?”
“It seems that some forces from the Judiciary have invaded the ruins! They say the guards were attacked!!”
“Tt… … .”
Seolbaek clicked his tongue.
The referee’s movement was faster than expected. It’s only been that the intrusion was discovered only yesterday, but has it already flowed into the hideout?
‘You are indeed a substitute. A false god or a heretic girl who worships… … .’
However, since this happened, it was impossible to just sit around and sit around.
“Are you ready for the ceremony?”
“All done.”
“I can’t help it.”
To be honest, no matter how the Church of Death was, it was difficult to achieve a complete victory against the Heretical Judgment Bureau.
Rather, for a denomination that must proceed with the ceremony, time is running out.
“I will proceed with the ceremony right now. Please gather the elders. The main combatants are placed in the planned positions.”
“I have already done that.”
“Thank you for your dedication. Well done.”
chalkan.
As the chains holding Iliana were released, she slumped to the floor.
After all, once the ceremony was completed, it didn’t matter whether it was the Heretical Judgment Bureau or the hero’s successor.
The moment when Thanatos returns to the world.
All people, regardless of gender, age, origin, or race, will reach true salvation.
“Illiana, this is the time you have been waiting for. Now that the pain will be relieved, you can rest assured.”
The high priest who served death said in a maddening voice.
“Then shall we go?”
