Episode 133 Identity Revealed (1)
“Isn’t it actually a black magician… a necromancer… a lich or something?”
Iriel doubted and asked.
Honestly, isn’t it!
I can’t imagine anyone bringing the dead back to life!
If there is, it’s probably a black magician or a lich who has reached the limit!
And besides, wounds to heal wounds?
There was no such treatment in the world.
Aren’t black magicians opening their chests for the purpose of treating people by creating chimeras, conducting experiments, or cutting people apart?
At Iriel’s words, Ray frowned.
“What are you talking about? Your god brought me here by force. Who do you think became a saint because he wanted to be a saint?”
I heard and saw it.
It was they who brought them, and it was God who chose them.
To say that he was a warlock means that God chose a warlock as a saint.
Iriel spoke quickly.
“I made a mistake. The current situation is so hard to believe…”
It’s not hard to believe, but I don’t believe it.
I couldn’t believe it even though I saw it with my own eyes.
split the chest It’s fatal enough.
Even the organs were fiddled with, so why was Zeke holding his breath!
Iriel’s curiosity came flooding in, but he endured it with superhuman patience.
Now was not the time to be puzzled or relieved.
Ray said to Iriel.
“Rather than that, you help Eucliwood right away. Since Proxia’s plan is broken, she will try to end it in Gehel, which has the most troops.”
“Ah, I get it. Then what about Ray?”
Ray smiled at her question.
“me? I have work to do.”
Iriel tilted his head curiously at his laughter.
I thought about it many times, but there were many things that I couldn’t understand in the saint’s thoughts.
Iriel, who looked down at Zeke once, nodded and carried him on his back.
Iriel, who tightened his back with a cloth made from ripped sleeves to keep Zeke from slipping down, looked at Ray and said.
“First, I’ll put Zeke down in a safe place. With the remaining troops, she should be able to hold on well.”
“okay. See you in Selonia.”
After saying that, Iriel threw herself away and disappeared somewhere.
Ray, watching Iriel’s back, smiled coldly.
“I should have taken care of it by now.”
He, who was muttering while looking at a side of the forest, also moved towards somewhere.

Gehel’s priest was sleeping soundly.
Even though Gehel, his jurisdiction, became a sea of fire, he was seeking refuge in a safe place to sleep.
However, I couldn’t help but open my eyes by itself at the eerie sensation of something cold touching my throat.
‘I didn’t feel the presence…’
As he thought so, a heavy, low-pitched voice came to his ears.
“Wake up.”
A man with a scar on his face had his sword pointed at the neck of the priest… no, now the priest of Gehel.
The head priest quietly stood up.
“… who are you? Do you know what a grave sin this is for me to do?”
“Don’t make fun of your mouth. It is His order. His Word is above all the laws of the Holy Land.”
“… who the hell is he talking about?”
“I have no right to ask you anything. You just shut up and answer my questions.”
“Who will buy it for you? Let me pay ten times his.”
The man muttered while listening to the priest’s words in silence.
“… it’s the mouth that talks anyway, so I guess I don’t need anything else.”
The man raised his sword and cut off the priest’s left arm.
The head priest’s face contorted in an instant from the maddening pain.
“Quaaaaagh!”
“Who is above you?”
“Aagh! my arm! eight!”
“What a noisy guy. Would you be satisfied if I cut off the rest of your arm?”
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…”
The priest, who swallowed his screams with difficulty, shed tears.
It seemed that the pain he had never experienced in his life would make him lose his reason.
I was afraid of the man standing in front of me, so I couldn’t do anything.
The overbearing momentum that flowed out even at first glance pressed down on the priest’s body.
However, the priest discovered something even more surprising than that.
It wasn’t just a man who broke into her room.
There were six more figures around him.
I don’t know the priest, but they were the seven guards of the saint.
Didn’t feel anything, but seven people came in?
In addition, in the case of a woman with her arms crossed behind her back, she was more frightening than the man in front of her.
The momentum itself is ferocious.
The gaze she looked down on was that of an absolute.
The man asked the priest again.
“I asked who is above you.”
“Ugh… My consolation is… the high priest, Mr. Zabil…”
“I’m not asking above him. As the army of Proxia, I am asking who is above you.”
“Proxia…”
Could it be that they knew?
How? The back work was perfect.
Even if you don’t know about the faction called Proxia, how did you find out that you are related to Proxia!
Without saying a word, her eyes trembled in bewilderment, and So-yeong, a short woman standing behind the man, spoke.
“No words. I guess I have no intention of talking about it.”
“no! I will tell you!”
Fearing that his hand would be cut off again, even his lips trembled as he spoke.
“I… I have no one to comfort me. I was simply told to clear things that hinder Gehelo’s advance…”
Even the way he spoke was markedly different from before.
Soyoung tilted her head and asked.
“doesn’t exist? Then who gave the order?”
“Keuuugh… I used a mana orb… I don’t know where they are calling from. But when they have something to say, they contact me first.”
The seven of them looked at each other once.
What is point organization?
However, there are clearly limits to point organizations.
What on earth are they that even the head priest uses as a single point?
Even if I did this here, nothing progressed.
Soyoung patted the man and said.
“Look out. This is my field from now on.”
At her words, the male black spirit stepped back.
Soyoung looked directly at the head of the priest and suddenly aroused divine power.
What she was doing now was divine magic.
Spirit-type divine magic that only a few people can do that.
This is something that not even Eclair or Iriel can do.
It wasn’t that he was manipulating the other person or reshaping his mind, but at least he could tell if the words were true or not.
They weren’t born with the Eye of Truth like the Elves, so they had no choice but to use magic for this.
I could feel Soyoung getting tired even with that brief spell.
Originally, spiritual magic consumes more divine power and mental power than other types of magic.
Since she, not a saint or a saintly pope, did it, of course she was exhausted.
“Hmm… I think that’s true.”
“Right.”
“I’m a little sleepy…”
Soyoung slowly fell asleep even though she used it once as a magic that required a big risk.
Hongyoung hugged her and said.
“Chung Young. Be sure to take care of it.”
“Okay, Hongyoung.”
Cheongyeong bowed her head and showed her respect. As soon as Hongyeong disappeared, she took out her dagger and held it.
Then, for a while, he showed silence toward the priest.
“This is Hongyoung’s name. Don’t feel too unfair.”
“Here, wait a minute…”
Squeak-
While talking, he cuts his throat right away.
As the clean blade of the sword passed the high priest, his neck fell to the floor with an expression that he did not know how he had died.
After shaking off the blood with a single swing of the sword, Cheongyoung turned to everyone and said.
“Follow Hongyeong.”
Cheongyoung, with a cold impression, looked out the window where the battle was taking place with cold eyes.

Ray immediately went to see the Pope.
No matter how much he was a pope, he could not refuse his request as a saint and the number one contributor in war.
Ray opened the door and took a small bow.
“Meet His Holiness.”
“Meet the saint.”
After setting an example to each other, the pope opened his mouth.
“I am glad to see the saint come so suddenly, but I am also puzzled. What are you doing?”
Ray said to the Pope, who went straight to the point, as if there was no time.
“It seems that His Holiness Proxia has grasped the heads of the enemy army.”
The Pope leaned forward toward the saint who said that with a serious expression.
It must be an act of interest in the story.
“Tell me, saint.”
“yes. To put it simply, the enemy group called Proxia is not an organization that suddenly appeared.”
“What do you mean?”
The pope’s expression frowned slightly.
It’s because you can’t get a feel for it at all.
The informants continued to unravel, but nothing was known.
But were they not a fledgling group?
Ray continued.
“An army of this magnitude could not be built out of sight of other kingdoms. First, the Holy Kingdom sent a request for assistance to the neighboring kingdoms.”
The Pope just listened to Ray’s words.
“But it was rejected. They didn’t open a holy war and neither did necromancers appear, so they don’t have much reason to help. Of course, my sleep also played a part in that.”
Saints who have fallen asleep and do not think of waking up now have lost their usefulness.
There was no loyalty to the neighboring kingdoms to help even while suffering losses in troops.
All of these were the evils of the castle that did not proceed with diplomacy more than necessary.
There is no point in paying attention to diplomacy because it only pushes for religious beliefs.
As for the funding, if Ray hadn’t made new farming methods and trade, he would have been in financial trouble even now.
However, the point to be concerned with now was not the diplomatic issue.
Ray said, looking directly at the Pope.
“Proxia is not a single fledgling faction. Rather, it can be said that it is a united group. That too by neighboring countries.”
“Neighboring countries? Are you really sure?”
His tone still seemed calm and calm, but his hands clenched the constellation trembled with anger.
Ray nodded.
“I have sent some trustworthy men to investigate. Even our Seongguk was involved in that.”
The pope’s complexion instantly distorted.
Received a response from God How much did you like it?
He was so happy that the kingdom he led seemed to give joy to God.
However, after hearing the story from the saint, there was only desolation.
In this holy land that worships God, a person who betrayed God comes out of the holy land that is most dear to God!
It shouldn’t happen and it shouldn’t exist.
It was necessary to inform the Heretic Judge of this fact and remove it.
The words that came out of Rei Hana’s lips were unexpected even for the Pope.
“Leave them alone.”
