Between Immortality and Mortality (6)
“…!!”
As if cold water had been poured over his head, Lennok, who had come to his senses in an instant, jumped up from his seat.
It wasn’t that I was distracted from concentrating on my work, nor was I letting my guard down through magic sensing.
The other person really appeared and talked to Lennok at the time he recognized it.
Could it be that Lennok’s mana sensor had penetrated the multi-kilometer radius in an instant?
Or did it literally manifest as if it were called to this place? I don’t know which one.
However, even considering all the possibilities, it was certain that the opponent was a monster with unbelievable power.
“Why don’t you continue?”
The man laughed faintly at Lennok.
“If that’s not the case, will you get out of there now?”
“….”
“If life and death flow according to the natural order, shouldn’t we be polite to each other after crossing the other side?”
A man in a suit wearing thick glasses.
Contrary to the impression that he looks sensitive and sharp somewhere, the empty smile on his lips is impressive.
However, Lennok twisted his mouth, recognizing the disparate magic flowing from the other side rather than the man’s appearance.
Even though they are in the same human form right in front of their eyes, it is a terrible awkwardness that they cannot realize that they are the same living species.
Would it feel like this if a monster capable of tearing the sky and turning the ground upside down was talking and wearing a human mask?
Even its existence is qualitatively different from the incarnation that has been endowed with the will of the end.
Even within the Guido Church, he is one of the highest ranked apostles.
It was almost certainly the most elite special force of the church that was given a single digit number.
Was the existence that the religious leader called his friend the very meaning of this man?
Despite Lennok’s complicated thoughts, the man moved on without hesitation.
“Well, I’d like to thank you for leaving at least a corpse like this.”
He stared blankly at Lennok, then quietly bowed.
The man who carefully hugged Amrita’s corpse scattered on the ground laughed.
“Before I became an apostle, I was a very faithful child. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing to be called Guido if I didn’t let you go comfortably?”
“….”
“Slowly, the other side is also being organized. how will we do it….”
He turned his head aimlessly toward the bare sky, but Lennok knew what the man in front of him was looking at.
He is aware of all the battles and their progress on the outskirts of this remote island and is contemplating whether to intervene.
Looking at the apostle like that, Lennok quietly took out the elixir and ampoule from his arms.
A dose that is several times the amount used for normal combat.
Even Lennok, who has improved his constitution to some extent, is afraid of the aftereffects, but now is not the time to worry about such things.
This apostle, who arrived at the end of everything on the side of the Church, was a monster that was more powerful than anything Lennok had ever encountered on this island.
The balance, which was barely established under the premise that there is no outside intervention, will be broken as soon as this being intervenes.
If he couldn’t capture the man at this point, it wouldn’t be strange if Lennok and all the observers were killed.
The air quickly rises with tension.
The man, who had been staring at Lennok with an expression that didn’t know what he was thinking, immediately smiled.
“Don’t give up. No matter how much I think about it, the picture of Young is not good.”
“…what?”
“We were able to retrieve the bodies of Amrita and Izel, so is that enough? I will hand over what is left of the island to you.”
“….”
Lenok was silent at the words of the apostle, who could not believe it even after hearing it himself.
That’s because it was hard to believe what the man had just muttered.
Are you saying that you will give up all your remaining power even though you have reached the Far East branch by single-handedly traveling the sea of understanding?
The Knight Commander who assisted Archbishop Nydri, agents of monstrous skill who were selected as apostle candidates in each branch.
The religious army and correctional knights and high-ranking priests followed them into the battlefield without hesitation.
And to the island that runs on this huge sea that makes up the Far East branch.
The apostle in front of me was saying that it didn’t matter if I handed over all of them to the blue eye without hesitation.
“Hmm, it seems difficult to understand. But this is not a decision I made alone.”
The apostle smiled at Lennok’s response, which did not let go of the tension and heightened his senses.
“I, too, originally came here with the intention of erasing all life in this place….”
“….”
“It’s been a while since he responded to the call himself. That alone is enough to say you deserve it.”
An apostle who calls another name of Lennok without hesitation.
It was only then that Lennok realized that the man in front of him knew everything that had happened on the island.
How did the apostle, who did not exist on this island until just now, understand what had happened?
“You knew everything about the headmaster’s conversation….”
“This is a bit embarrassing. Actually, I don’t know everything.”
The apostle laughed.
“You just hear about your decision a little sooner than others.”
It means that the apostle in front of you goes beyond simply being the incarnation of a god who serves himself, and shares the same thoughts with the memory of the leader.
How strong must the body be in order to reach that level when even such powerful apostles suffer from madness and go mad.
The apostle’s eyes on Lennok became sharper, with no intention of hiding them.
“Evan, the watcher of the blue eyes. Is it the new apostle Evan now? Either way, it doesn’t matter.”
Said the apostle and slowly turned his back.
“The tragedy that occurred at this selection ceremony was reported to the apostles from all over the continent through foreign media. From now on, the winds of division that will blow inside the church will be out of control.”
“….”
“We don’t necessarily encourage heretics who don’t believe in doctrine to join. It seems that he intends to recognize even the existence of you who killed Amrita as a new apostle, but I do not think so.”
Through the thick lenses of his glasses, the apostle’s eyes turned cold.
“The paradise of the pantheon only comes to those who truly understand its meaning. In that sense, you are below standard.”
“….”
“However, it is the first time in hundreds of years that our gods have shown such great interest in a mere human. do you know
The apostle laughed.
“What is sleeping in your heart, whether you are qualified to be an apostle of the godless sea…Every time you think of it, keep an eye on it.”
Lennok and the church leader’s dialogue. Because in the process, I heard the leader’s decision and the whole story.
The apostle was saying that he would withdraw from this spot without taking any action.
The meaning of the words that the religious leader would acknowledge Lennok as a new apostle.
It was tantamount to saying that the cult leader would accept even the turning point of a mad apostle who did not believe in God as an apostle.
Would it be strange to accept rather than be surprised by that mad and arrogant decision?
“Right….”
Whether Lenok wants it or not, his name will fill the vacant position of an apostle, as long as the priest’s approval is gone.
The existence of a new apostle who does not follow the foreign ministers and religious leaders and does not believe in the dogma of the church.
Interests contrary to the original purpose of the church. Saying that he won’t even care about the current situation, which is no different from the enemy.
While Lennok pondered the meaning, the apostle holding the corpse slightly bowed his head.
“Poor Easel…. She was always tormented by the fact that she lost her position as a priestess due to her own mistakes. In the end, it’s fortunate that he did his best in fulfilling his wish and left.”
“….”
“Even though it didn’t end well, I’m sure I’ll be satisfied because I’ve regained the power of revelation that she longed for, even for a moment.”
The apostle’s eyes through the glasses seemed to shine sadly for a moment.
“Thank you for that fact. I have nothing more to say.”
At some point, the body of the apostle who turned his back disappears on the spot as if being cut off little by little.
A bizarre appearance as if crossing a door in an invisible space.
Lennok looked at the back without a word, then opened his mouth abruptly.
“I will ask you one thing.”
“whenever.”
“What number are you?”
“her.”
The man with a strange exclamation turned to Lennok and grinned.
“Second. newcomer.”
The presence of the two apostles disappears as if washed off, leaving only those words behind.
Lennok looked at the man and quietly put the ampoule in his hand back into his arms.
After the establishment of the Guido Church, the second apostle to appear on earth according to the will of the leader.
Lennok, who had been contacting them several times and gathering information about the meaning of the existence of the two apostles within the church, was also not aware of it.
It was said that he was a monster with overwhelming practical skills and popularity even within religious groups that spanned the entire continent.
I would have thought that the 2 apostles, whom I had only heard about through the priests of the church, would have appeared here and met Lennok face-to-face.
There is no place that doesn’t bother me with all of his appearance, behavior, and exit.
However, instead of obsessing over the meaning of the words left by the second apostle, Lennok took a deep breath and turned around.
Although the loss of Amrita’s corpse was painful in itself, it did not fail in its original purpose.
‘The encryption itself of the Apocalypse Ceremony was successful. For once, that alone is enough.’
Directly blocking the will did not prevent the incarnation of the end that Amrita served from being born, but
at least it was a certain fact that it succeeded in sealing Amrita’s scale itself.
As Amrita’s corpse left Lennok’s hands, he couldn’t directly manage the encrypted seal itself, but it should be clear that Amrita’s scale technique could not be used inside the church, at least for the time being.
Perhaps the information itself could be sold as valuable hints.
Thinking so, Lennok took out several bottles of homemade magic potion, drank them all in, and started walking.
Originally, I was going to just let go of everything and rest, but where is the guarantee that a monster like the 2 apostles will appear once more and turn things over?
Under the approval of the two apostles, in fact, the island itself came under the possession of the Blue Eye.
Even if it was a little overworked, it seemed better to help the other observers and quickly sort things out.
“Cool!”
As I swallowed the potion like water, I heard a tinge as if it were natural.
Lennok’s delicate body does not allow him to quickly consume anything.
Lennok, who coughed with a somewhat embarrassed look, caught the quickly-filling mana and smoked it all over the place.
Only the sound of the potion bottle breaking behind Lennok’s back as he disappeared into the island echoed quietly.
* * *
“This profit…!! What is it, why is the scale magic all of a sudden!!”
Kujik!!
A dagger with a sharp edge stuck in the back of the priest’s head, who was signing with a bewildered expression.
Drops of blood form on the blade of the dagger that pierced the back of the head and protruded between the eyebrows.
The priest’s eyes turned over as he blankly looked at the drops of blood flowing from his head, and he fell down as he poured blood from Goku.
“Ugh! So where do you keep trying to run away?”
A frivolous voice giggled from behind the fallen priest.
A young man with a white powdered face approached with a smirk and pulled a blade from the back of the priest’s head.
A dagger that transforms into a playing card and is stored as soon as you grab the handle.
“If you lose in gambling, you should be quiet. I don’t know why you keep struggling. This is why I don’t want to sit on the same table with religious people.”
iron!!
Carrying a corpse that is bleeding profusely, I walk through an alleyway illuminated by flashy lights and neon signs.
I leisurely passed the idiots strewn with alcohol and drugs everywhere and opened the entrance to a simple garbage incineration plant located nearby.
When I put in a chip from the gambling hall, a circular entrance opened that could fit one person in.
Chi profit!!
A young man waving his hands as if he were relieved after throwing a corpse into a hole through which smoke came out.
But soon, as if he had done something wrong, he hangs his chin and falls into trouble.
“Hmm, but it’s been a while since I caught that follower…Did you really want to experiment?”
“Doing human experiments without permission at Talker Fuzz would be a waste of money.”
A low pitched voice came from behind such a young man.
“I don’t really recommend it.”
The figure of a spider, faintly revealed as if it would disappear at any moment, with a spider’s web hanging in the empty night sky.
Her upper body is in the shape of a human woman, but her eyes are covered by a thick eyepatch, making it difficult to properly identify her features.
“…It must have been you Agneta.”
The young man, who paused for a moment, turned his powdered face away and grinned.
“I didn’t expect you to come to me first, what’s going on?”
Agneta continued with an expressionless face despite the appearance of such a clown.
“I have something to say about the magician named Victor and the leader who participated in Operation Well. Is it all right for a little while?”
