Episode 654 After Party, Temporary Dissolution of the Reception Committee (1)
Seongguk was having trouble with the treatment of the Demon Lord.
Pope Eclay sat down and muttered with a sigh.
“Taking advantage of the weakness of this holy country, the Demonic Church has begun to stick its head out. What should I do with this?”
So far, Seongguk has been quarreling with the Demonic Church without knowing it.
Their organizational power, which was so solid that it was hard to believe that it was an emerging force, even Eclay was tongue-in-cheek.
They approached the Holy Kingdom under the pretext of a place called the ‘Magyeong’.
As she slowly advances toward the Holy Land with the goal of rescuing those imprisoned in the Devil’s Realm, even as the Pope, she can’t help but be nervous.
The nobles who read the heavy atmosphere in the venue could not open their mouths easily.
“Umm….”
“Sorry, Your Excellency… We can’t even point it out.”
The high priests couldn’t bear to lift their heads and sweated.
It has already been a month since Eclay gathered the High Priest and high-ranking nobles under the authority of the Pope.
During that month, the Seongguk, far from pushing out the Demonic Cult, was rather choking.
Some of the upper ranks went under the umbrella of the Demonic Church, and the powerful merchants looked at them from afar.
As the situation progressed, it was Seongguk that became more and more nervous.
Because they, the only religious nation in the East Continent, were losing their followers to a new religion called Demonicism.
Eclay nodded calmly.
“I don’t know how helpful the opinions of the high priests have been. Think carefully again.”
“His Holiness, the power of the Demonic Church is by no means small. It may be difficult to clear it with our own strength.”
“However, it is not good to receive help from other countries. We are the kingdom of Gaia. What will other kingdoms think of us if we are only pushed aside by new religions?”
It’s like you can’t back out.
Unlike before, Eclay looked at the High Priestess with hard eyes.
There was a huge faith that even a high priest could not dare to oppose.
Could it be Goddess Gaia’s blessing?
Divine power flowing softly enveloped her.
When the pope came out resolutely, the nobles and high priests had no choice but to agree.
Eucliwood listened to the conversation and then added a word.
“Curiosity and arrogance are two different things. There is nothing wrong with receiving help from other countries.”
Her eyes, which seemed sharp at first glance, turned to Eclair.
The pope, who met that gaze for a moment, had no choice but to deny it while salivating.
“Comments are appreciated. I’ll think about it.”
How can I not know that it is an obvious rejection?
He had to drive out the Demonic Cult and finish the investigation of the Demonic Realm, but his faith prevented him from doing so.
Eucliwood said with a still expressionless face.
“Do whatever the Pope wants. But you should know that you don’t have much time.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
Let’s not progress further in the story.
Eucliwood looked around the crowd and said.
“Even if we continue the meeting, there will be no progress, so I will call it quits for today. Please let me know if anything has been decided later.”
“Good job, Bellacroix.”
Say a polite bow and let her back off.
The other nobles also noticed and left one by one.
It is difficult to subdue the Demonic Cult even now, having entered the quasi-sanctuary system.
Perhaps there was no choice but to officially declare a holy war and muster troops to wipe it out by force.
It seems that there is a need to replenish the forces consumed in the Devil’s Land for a long time.
Eclay, who remained in Daejeon, had been contemplating for a long time.

The work went smoothly.
The goblins, who were not accustomed to assembling wood, picked up their senses and picked up speed.
The overgrown yard was neatly tidied up.
The female goblins, who looked similar to humans, bent down to cut down the grass, and this time, the young goblins put their own hands on the ground and put stones in a nice way.
Then, the desolate land became quite tasteful.
Looking at the overall appearance of the building from a distance, Ray smiled contentedly.
“Hey, now it looks like a place where people live.”
The old derelict house, where spider webs were attached to it, no longer exists.
Destroying the hut and attaching a long building together made it look quite plausible on the outside.
The work seems to be finished by this evening, so I need to prepare for an after party.
“Since I have a lot of mouths, I need to catch a pig for the first time in a while.”
Did they tell you to remove the horns as well?
He licked his lips and climbed the mountain.
It wasn’t long before I was excited at the thought of carrying an armful of meat.
Even after wandering around for a while, I couldn’t see any animals.
No matter how good the goblins were, I didn’t know that they would dry the seeds of wild beasts.
Ray scratched the bridge of his nose and murmured.
“You must have been hungry.”
Suddenly, I remembered that the goblins, who were in the middle of labor, were crying and saying ‘I’m hungry’ as they used to say.
It wasn’t just one or two, but hundreds of herds complaining of hunger, so it wasn’t understandable that the wild beasts had disappeared.
With a sigh, Ray moved his leg again.
It’s not like the pig will come looking for you just because you’re still.
The mountain range is wide, so if you look for it, you will surely see one or two wild boars.
Deciding to have hope in a hopeless ecosystem, he even used tracking techniques to heat up the search for wild boars.
How much do you want to catch a wild boar?
He put his nose in the trunk of a tree and even sniffed it.
“Sniff sniff. I think it’s this way.”
Judging by the characteristic musty smell of mud, it seemed that a wild boar had passed by.
Let’s take a good look at the direction and move on.
It was a bit unreasonable to call it a wild boar, but I began to feel the presence of it.
The smell of blood mingled with the wind that blew from far away.
Whoop- whoop-
It’s not the breath of a mountain beast.
The guy who was rummaging through the bush looked in the direction of Ray, as if he had smelled it.
At that moment, our eyes met.
“What is this again?”
A wild boar is a wild boar.
However, it was larger than a bear.
Even looking at the bones in front of him, it was clear that he was in the position of being the owner of this mountain.
Now that I see it, it must be this guy’s fault that the seeds of the wild beasts dried up.
The strong shoulder muscles begin to swell the moment our eyes meet.
Even looking at himself, he was eating his appetite again.
However, it was the same for Ray as well.
He looked at the huge boar and licked his lips.
“Heh heh. He’s really mean.”
In particular, the elastic buttocks look very attractive.
Just looking at it reminds me of pork belly and soju.
My mouth was salivating.
The wild boar, still hungry, reacted first.
Perhaps he was about to charge, he leaned forward and shook his head.
the desired sea.
If you fight with strength, I will fight with strength!
Ray suppressed mana as much as possible.
Let’s loosen up our shoulders as if we’re ready.
The wild boar took the signal and rushed straight ahead.
Tap-! Tap-!
Every time it strikes the ground, the earth’s axis shakes.
The intimidation made even Ray nervous.
“come!”
Because mana was excluded.
I’m a little worried about trying to deal with it with pure physical strength.
When the wild boar is close by.
Ray reached out with all his might and grabbed the boar’s sheep tusks.
Whoops-!
I was worried that my body might float, but sure enough, the wild boar’s force knocked my feet off the ground.
“Aww!”
“Kueeaek!”
I pushed the wild boar as hard as I could and regained my center of gravity with the anti-elastic force.
I wonder if I didn’t know that a human with a small physique would block the rush I just made.
The wild boar looked a little perplexed.
The wild boar, shaking its head while trolling, scratches the ground again with its forepaws.
The attack doesn’t work, so it seems that he’s getting quite a fever.
Ray felt his grip tingle.
It was a body that did not itch even if it was hit by the swords of the bandits.
The wild boar’s rush made my hands go numb.
‘This is a thing.’
It would look cool if you rode it like a mount, but now meat was the priority.
I gave up my greed for my favorite horse(?) and made up my mind.
Without knowing what kind of rude black heart the other person was harboring.
The wild boar charged again with its heavy body.
Ray waited for the moment when the boar lowered his head even more.
He quickly kicked off the ground and turned.
swish-!
However, the wild boar was not easy going either.
As he swung his tusk like a weapon, Ray, startled, hurriedly pulled away.
“Eck!”
Because it was too late to evade, the hem of the robe that was caught in the tusk was torn.
It was a dress I really liked.
I’ve been thinking about putting it back together and making repairs.
Shaking my head back and forth created a lot of gaps.
Ray didn’t miss the chance and thrust the dagger from his waist into the guy’s forehead.
Turong-!
“Eh?”
Although it does not contain magic power, it has the power to pierce quite a few rocks.
It was difficult to enter the rock if it was blocked by a wild boar skull.
With a face without a scratch.
The wild boar said, ‘What are you doing?’ looked like
The strange contortion of his face is as if he is laughing at himself.
“Have you seen such a crazy wild boar?”
He never thought that there would be a wild beast he could not catch.
Even if he suppressed his mana, a wild boar would fall out if he swung his fist properly.
Even a bear or an ogre could easily be caught if you used a sword.
However, it was difficult to pierce the skin of a wild boar, which would have been enough to feed them.
The corners of his mouth twitched like a wild boar giggling.
It was as if he was saying, ‘You are now my food’.
Ray, who had been drooling, sighed slightly.
“Maybe it’s because I’m lacking in training these days… I can’t believe I have to struggle against a wild boar like this.”
It seems that I need to move my lazy body whenever I have time.
At that murmur, the wild boar put on a sinister expression.
It is a face that looks sinister enough to wonder if a wild boar can have such a variety of expressions.
There is nothing sweeter than realizing that an opponent who seemed to struggle is actually weak.
It seems that the fact was the same for the wild boar.
Watching the wild boar trying to finish himself and prepare a meal.
Ray had no choice but to release the mana he had been saving.
“Heh heh. sorry.”
Aaaah-!
Let’s draw a ray of mana that bursts out like a waterfall and put it on the sword.
Whoop-!
The sharp aura blade that made my skin tingle just by looking at it rose two meters.
The wild boar, which was preparing to charge again, hurriedly turned its direction.
One time it was already too late.
When the wild boar showed its back.
The aura blade had already dug into the boar’s hide.
The sacred sword technique, said to be the exclusive property of a sword master, was only used to slaughter a wild boar.
