Episode 156
44. Chapter of the Raid (6)
Redeemer Yeliya.
She never forgot the weight of the name.
A chosen priest who redeems the wicked on behalf of the light.
As the head of the Inquisition Tribunal, she had always done her best, and was ready to humbly lay down her life.
I never dreamed that it would be today.
The Church of Death infiltrated Paradise Island.
That wasn’t enough, they even kidnapped innocent students as sacrifices.
Judging from the fact that he had an ID card whose issuance was suspended and that he had a separate ceremonial space called a historic site.
Their invasion didn’t happen a day or two ago.
In other words, this was purely the error of the Judiciary and Elijah’s fault.
However, the apostle Baek San-woo did not hold her accountable.
Rather, one step ahead of the Judgment Bureau, and crushing the members of the Church.
He even cleared a road for the judges.
messenger of light.
The one who guides believers on the right path of light.
Within the scope of the believer, Elijah was no exception.
Elijah was moved by the noble spirit of sacrifice and judgment shown by Apostle Baek San-woo.
okay.
He was not just an apostle.
The ‘Holy Baeksan Own’ who will lead the chaotic temple to the right path.
He was the model for all priests and the sun for believers.
so let’s confess
Elijah’s faith welled up from the depths of his heart, and tears were about to come out.
‘With Sanwoo-sama, the Church of Death can be easily purified. Ahh… … Thank you, light.’
However, the moment I silently watched the coming of Thanatos in front of my eyes.
Elijah realized how absurd it was.
The most elite judges were killed with a single gesture.
Severino, Constantino, and Johann.
They are judges who have judged numerous heresies and crossed the line of sight.
That’s all.
Belatedly, I felt the difference in rank, and cut down my troops.
Three more judges who could not retreat were killed.
Some of them had risen to the ranks of the next high-ranking judges, while others were former paladin judges.
Unable to even scream, Yelia’s anger soared at the sight of being scattered and brutally killed.
All of them were agents of light.
Even death, which descended in an imperfect form, could not be dealt with.
‘Light!!’
To prevent further meaningless death, she ran to Thanatos.
A scythe with divine power. Even though he made effective blows using an armored crescent.
After several clashes, Elijah was able to predict the end of the battle without difficulty.
‘Can’t win.’
The reason the first attack was effective was purely because Thanatos was vigilant.
From then on, even Elijah was focused on blocking and avoiding Thanatos’ attack.
The moment when the concentration is disturbed by the storm-like attacks and the energy of death that engulfs the space.
spatula-
In an instant, his left arm was cut off.
Before he could take any action, he could not withstand the shock wave that followed and was even thrown into the wall.
It was the worst.
Elijah had an intuition that if the fight continued like this, only futile deaths would increase.
“Apostle.”
It was definitely time to make a decision.
He risked his life to buy time for the evacuation of the Judgment Bureau, and by exploding his divine power, he collapsed the ground to the ruins.
He thought that was the only way to seal the cursed god of death.
Even though it is an incomplete advent, that is enough.
If this monster ever managed to get out of the ruins.
It was clear that hell would unfold on Nakwon Island, where the festival was in full swing.
However, the Apostle of Light drew his sword and stood proudly by her side.
“As an apostle, it is a command. Elijah-sama must survive.”
Those words were warm enough to shake Yelia’s beliefs.
He thought that one day he would sacrifice his life. No, everyone in the Judiciary would think so.
Until he returned to the temple, his life was nothing like a rat on the street.
It was the God of Light who led such a life to this place. Laying down one’s life must also be for the sake of the God of Light.
And I thought it was right now.
The apostle Baeksanwoo was saying it wasn’t. Rather, he spoke as if his intervention was getting in the way.
“Don’t worry about it, trust me here.”
Despite Thanatos’s non-stop attack, Baek Sanwoo did not lose his composure.
No, rather, as if he had prepared a trump card.
He was just walking towards Thanatos proudly.
“Apostle… … ?”
At the same time, the dark energy of death was about to reach out to the apostle.
She sensed the tremendous energy emanating from the Baeksan-woo’s body.
‘What?!’
It was not the strength of a single human being.
Thanatos.
Unbelievably, he dared to compare himself to a being called the god of death.
“ah… … .”
The power of God itself.
The problem was that that wasn’t all that Baek Sanwoo showed.
Immediately after the overwhelming power was released.
Thanatos, who was rushing to save everyone’s lives, disappeared.
It was literally.
In the blink of an eye, Thanatos disappeared from her view.
It’s as if there was no such thing in the first place.
It was as if the space had been cut off and only Thanatos had been thrown away.
“lie.”
It was an unbelievable situation even though I had witnessed it with my own two eyes.
It wasn’t just Yeliya who felt the confusion.
“Sir… … This?”
A judge standing next to her asked in a trembling voice, but it was the same as not being able to answer.
It was something she didn’t know either.
“San, San-woo. Apostle of Light.”
As she called him carefully, the boy with a still young face slowly turned his head.
However, Elijah could not confirm his expression.
It was because the bright brilliance covered the entire face.
“Ahh… … .”
Elijah groaned involuntarily. It was evident that the dazzling light was the grace of the God she served.
No matter how much the Apostle of Light, Thanatos who appeared on the earth could not be annihilated like a snap of a finger.
The power that makes even the existence of the divine god come back to be ridiculous.
It was only then that Elijah was convinced of Baeksanwoo’s identity.
An apostle of light, who can become a saint by itself.
㉮
‘Incarnation of Light, Player.’
㉯
Elijah could not stand any longer.
Immediately, she knelt down and cried out to Baeksan-woo.
“Dominus meus et Deus meus.”
At her dock, all the priests and judges knelt after him.
He raised his hand high toward Baeksanwoo.
“My lord, my light!”
* * *
Illyana woke up on the soft bed.
what?
Are you even dreaming?
He was definitely caught by the Church of Death and was on the verge of being sacrificed.
“… … .”
Iliana looked back at her memories.
It was as if he saw his back jumping in front of him right before he lost consciousness.
Someone dressed in silver armor and with arms outstretched as if protecting her.
She lay blankly, blinking her eyes. No matter how many times I blinked, the ceiling didn’t change.
“Ugh… … .”
The more consciousness returned, the clearer the strange pain felt.
He was tortured all day, so it was only natural that his body was broken.
‘this.’
I couldn’t even stand up properly from the throbbing pain.
At that moment, someone’s hand supported her back. A familiar, yet incomprehensible touch.
“… … ?”
“woke up? How is your body?”
“Sanwoo?”
Either way, Sanwoo was right.
hallucination? dream? Or is it real reality?
At Iliana’s reaction, who did not fully understand the situation, Sanwoo Baek bursts into laughter.
“It’s all over.”
“really… … ?”
“Yes, really. Did you see me lying like this?”
In a playful voice that is no different from usual.
Drops dripped from Illyana’s eyes.
“Oh, it must have been a lot of hard work.”
It was Illyana who didn’t show her emotions well.
The memories of being captured by the cultists were terrifying and terrifying.
A sense of despair that he was going to die after being sacrificed.
Fear that even after death, there will be no permanent stability, and that you will suffer as a seed of death.
All of those emotions come together, and the sadness that has been in the core rises.
“I thought no one was coming. Sanwoo and other colleagues.”
It was Illyana, who often wandered around alone. I’m still busy with the festival, but is there anyone who will pay attention to her?
Even the mountain cows seemed to be busy carrying out the club’s head of the club.
There is a festival
Illyana knew what the festival meant for human lovers.
Perhaps Sanwoo has completely forgotten himself.
Spending time with Camilla, I thought I might not even know I was gone.
“Hey, how can I leave Illyana alone? Was I that hot?”
At those words, Illyana couldn’t contain her feelings any longer.
Without a word, she hugged Baek San-woo’s body, dug into her arms, and burst into tears.
pat pat.
don’t push yourself away Confused, he didn’t even turn his back.
Baek San-woo only comforted her by patting her on the back.
“Black, uh… … .”
how much i cried
To what extent her emotions had subsided, Iliana said as she wiped her eyes with her arm.
“Sanwoo, did you come to save yourself?”
“Absolutely.”
The last person I saw in my hazy memory was Sanwoo.
I can’t.
How did you know that you came to save yourself?
Even that wasn’t enough, how was he able to bring him safely against the Church of Death?
Everything was questionable.
For now, I had no choice but to believe that what I saw before my eyes was a reality.
“Then the festival… … ?”
“What is a festival? I didn’t know that Illyana was going to die. We have different priorities.”
“… … .”
Illyana’s face reddened at those words, and then she shook her head.
Doesn’t the Sanwoo already have an owner?
Originally, this boy was someone who had a crush on anyone.
That’s the original character.
He was just one of those people who was influenced by such a personality.
If he had embraced his feelings here, it would have been impossible for Sanwoo or Camilla, a friend of the same club.
‘still… … only once. I want to ask you.’
It was strange to worry about such a thing in a panguk who died and came back to life.
Originally, what I was curious about was the end of his personality, and his personality was released.
“Sanwoo.”
“yes?”
“That ring… … I was wearing it with Camilla.”
“Oh, this?”
Baek San-woo looked at the ring on his index finger and shrugged.
“It’s really nothing… … . Or can I make one for Iliana too?”
“uh?!”
An unexpected answer popped up.
When Illyana blurs out her father’s words, Sanwoo Baek adds.
“I was going to tell Illyana later anyway… … . If I have another chance, I will tell you in detail then.”
“that that… … Big, couple.”
“yes? what?”
“I heard that humans have a custom of exchanging rings between lovers.”
Baek San-woo didn’t understand the meaning of Iliana’s words, so he thought for a moment blankly.
Immediately, he waved his hand.
“no! It’s not really like that… … some kind of sign? Should it be an ID? Yeah, I’ll just make some for Iliana. We plan to make more in the future.”
“I see.”
Just a little while ago, my unclean heart began to burn.
Wasn’t his father married to his mother, who was also a pure-blooded Artel?
There was no reason not to be Illyana.
Only then did the Hafartel girl face her heart.
Why did she feel strange feelings for Camila, and she felt pleasure when she was with the Sanwoo, who was bothered by everything.
All of those things that were subtly ignored were the feelings of the ‘girl’ Iliana toward Baek San-woo.
“Sanwoo.”
Illyana spit the name out of her mouth.
“yes?”
“never mind.”
The person involved had no way of knowing what she was thinking.
