270. Referee
poop!
Kang Seung-hyun and his gang threw the dragged followers into the warehouse.
The believer tried to get up immediately, but Lee Ji-ah’s alter ego grabbed him and pressed him to the floor, pouring a potion of dark magic on him.
“I will give you a special black magic tea.”
“Ewgagagak!!”
Jiah Lee took off her uniform and put it on herself while Shindo struggled.
“Can we talk calmly now?”
“These bastards… what are they really?”
“I don’t know that, what the hell is the fair opportunity judgment that the church calls?”
“I have nothing to say to outsiders!”
Shindo kept his mouth shut, saying he would not say anything.
“Then I have no choice but to ‘cure’ until I speak.”
Kang Seung-hyeon smiled and prepared for [Out-Focus], [Suture] and [Cure judgment].
“The most confident treatment is resin grafting, which neatly and quickly stitches the amputated finger together.”
“Quaaaaaagh!”
“Aaaagh!”
“You better kill me! Kill!”
Fu-wook! grasp!
Make wounds and heal wounds.
Recreate wounds and heal wounds.
Obviously, the body is fine, but the pain remains as it is, a truly healthy torture.
There can be no more terrible torture than this, since you cannot even faint and not die.
“Surrender surrender! I’ll tell you! I say!”
The guy who said he would never say anything could not stand the endless treatment and opened his mouth.
“Consciousness! Our denomination ceremony!”
“Consciousness?”
“Judgment means a ceremony using the authority of Rize Simua!”
According to the guy, the slogan of Seymua Rize is ‘opportunity and growth’.
He is said to be a god who provides believers with opportunities to grow.
“To be precise, it is to gather people with similar powers on the stage prepared by Rize Simua and make them fight!”
“what?”
“What kind of bug is it?”
“Simua Rise-nim’s judgment is to grant the qualifications and strength of a formal follower to those who have not collapsed within the time limit, and to turn those who fail into ‘fertilizer’.”
“You make people into fertilizer?”
“What is that fertilizer?”
“A special product of our church that can give you great power when used.”
Simua Rise has the power to convert humans into energy. It is said that if another human being uses the energy created at this time, they can gain strength and grow.
“In the church, this energy is called ‘fertilizer’. The quality of fertilizer varies according to human potential, but even using low-grade fertilizer can make you incredibly strong!”
In short, the winner gets power and honor, but the loser becomes a sacrifice for the church, which is the sound of Simua Rize’s ‘judgment’.
“That means that people are used as reinforcing materials after all.”
“Disgusting!”
“If you listen to the church, then it is like that.”
After all, the strong and special power that the Church of Seymua Rize was talking about was obtained by sacrificing someone.
“You guys think about it too! After all, commoners would die from monsters or starve to death if left alone, but Seymua Rize gave us a chance to turn our lives around!”
The believer talked about the greatness of Seymua Rize in a very excited voice.
“Common people are widely spread across the Azul continent! No one cares if it disappears, and it’s easy to find! In a word, it’s the same as turning stones into gold!”
There is no crazy sound, but it is surprisingly easy to see in the Azul Continent.
“Adri said something similar before. There are not one or two aristocrats and criminal guilds who want to buy the gold produced by the Seymua Rize Church.”
It seems that Adri is selling ‘fertilizer’ to other nobles and crime guilds from the Church of Simua Rize.
“In return, the church will receive strong support and new followers.”
“So I thought it was some kind of alchemy church, but it’s just a cult group that uses divine power, right?”
“A cultist! Watch your horse!”
bang!
Shindo struggled and wrote an evil voice.
“Among the divine beings of the Azul Continent, is there anyone who gives a fair chance to the common people? Only Seymua Rize has true opportunity and equality…”
“These are more idiots than I thought.”
“I won’t listen to you any more!”
Fu-wook!
Lee Ji-ah, who had not heard of it, took out a wrist sword and stabbed a member of the church.
“Quaaaaaagh!”
“Then, shall we name the cult minus the four characters and adding the saint?”
“This is XX!”
“Tsk Then there are no survivors among the missing people.”
Kang Seung-hyun clicked his tongue and muttered.
If he had survived the judgment, he would have become a member of the cult and visited his family.
“According to what he said, everything would have become fertilizer.”
“It looks like it failed from the first request. It’s annoying, so I have to kill him and get my revenge…”
“Wait a minute! for a moment!”
Kang Seung-hyun took out a knife, and Shindo desperately opened his mouth.
“Not all those who passed the judgment became members of the cult!”
“then?”
“I passed the judgment and received strength from Simua Rize, but there are people who say they don’t want to cooperate with the church!”
Commonly known as ‘sinner’.
Passengers who passed the judgment but did not become believers because they rebelled against the church.
“You didn’t kill those guys and let them live?”
“Simua Rize-sama is a very fair person. Please allow even the heinous villains to be judged without killing them.”
“That’s because they’d think it’d be more profitable to make them into fertilizer than to just kill them.”
“Those who survive the judgment are always given a chance to become believers. Of course, if you refuse, you will be judged again.”
In a word, gods or fertilizers.
It means that the target continues to roll until it chooses one of the two.
“Then, shouldn’t I just say I’ll become a god and run away?”
“I will do brainwashing. Or put on a penance skill that kills you if you run away, or track your location.”
There was no way the small church would just leave the traitor alone.
In particular, Seymua Rize has a knack for using people as manure, so even if she runs away, she will catch them tenaciously.
“Oh, so where are they?”
Fuck!
Kang Seung-hyun kicked Shindo and asked.
To be honest, I would have answered without kicking, but I kicked because I just wanted to kick.
“District 4! It’s in District 4!”
“District 4?”
“okay! You’re saving me because I told you everything I knew, right?”
Shindo opened his mouth with a desperate face, but
“Thank you for telling me what I know, but… I don’t remember saying you would save me?”
Kang Seung-hyeon proudly took out a crossbow and aimed it at the guy’s head.
“This vicious…!”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
grasp!
Seunghyun Kang pulled the trigger and left the warehouse.
– “Something doesn’t feel right. To think that I was working for such an obnoxious bastard.”
Lee Ji-ah, who was walking beside her, let out a sigh.
He said he knew it was a world in which human rights were broken, but it seems to be getting worse day by day.
“If you need money, just do adventure work.”
“Not for the money, but for my idol.”
“Idol?”
Lee Ji-ah opened her mouth with a proud face.
“About three years ago? I was involved with a crime guild once.”
At the time, Lee Ji-ah was a newbie without any proper skills or items, so she almost died in vain, but she miraculously survived with the help of a dimension mover.
“His name is Yoon Ki-joon. I later found out that he was a very famous bounty hunter. He has a lot of fans besides me and is famous, do you know him?”
“i know.”
“You know that too? are you a fan too? Are you a fan?”
Jiah Lee spoke with her eyes shining.
Dozens of S-class wanted men captured. He is a man who uses few skills and wipes out enemies with a few knives, so he is almost a legend in his industry.
“I don’t know if he’s alive or dead because he suddenly disappeared without a trace one day.”
After finishing the story, Lee Ji-ah grumbled as if she was sorry.
Although dimension movers are stronger than Azul Continental people, in the end, they are people, so even very famous names were not without news of death or disappearance.
“Anyway, my dream is to become a bounty hunter like him. The main purpose is to return home.”
“But what does that have to do with working for Adri?”
“Adri has collected some of the equipment items that person used. I was working for that.”
Of course, it’s not a weapon that the person himself used, but items of the same brand became famous as well, so the price went up, and rare items were not easy to obtain because collectors swept them away.
“Well, it was cut before I even received the collection.”
Lee Ji-ah sighed deeply and pasted a picture of Adrai’s face on the wall and threw a nail at it.
grasp!
“Bastard! I worked for no money!”
“It’s okay, so let’s go to District 4.”
trudge trudge.
As we entered District 4, we could see people sleeping in prisons just like the other districts.
Looking at people’s faces one by one, I was able to find some of the missing people that the clients had requested to find.
“I’m glad you’re at least a little bit safe.”
“I came here thinking that everyone was dead, but at least this is hopeful.”
Not everyone was injured, but fortunately none were in serious condition.
With at least one missing person found, all that remains is to annihilate the Church.
“What are your plans?”
“I have one thing in mind, but…”
Tabak, Tabak.
It was then.
I heard haughty footsteps at the end of the hallway.
“You are finally here.”
“This unlucky voice…!”
When I hurriedly turned my head, Adriwig appeared with his soldiers.
“Adriwig!”
“How did you know I was here? The pinch hitter wouldn’t have been caught already.”
Kang Seung-hyun and Lee Ji-ah glared at Adrai Wig. On the surface, he is a simple supporter, but in terms of influence, he is the second-ranked man in the Church of Seymua Rize.
“The follower you just dealt with is one of my minions.”
The guards in the cargo compartment and this follower were pierced and killed by arrows, so Adri was certain that Kang Seung-hyeon had somehow escaped.
“Seeing that the corpse had just died, I thought it might still be nearby, so I was looking around here.”
“Then it’s your turn now.”
“Wait wait wait.”
Adri smiled and raised his hand.
“Don’t get me wrong. I’m not here to fight you.”
“then?”
“You can tell that you are not an ordinary person just by rescuing Miss Phrygia from the magic-forbidden prison. It would be a loss to fight such a person.”
Then, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket.
At a glance, it appears to be an employment contract.
“I’ll give you anything you want, so won’t you be my man?”
“Don’t trust that impostor! They don’t even pay properly…”
Lee Ji-ah saw it and went wild.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t have money to give to incompetent people who can’t even do their job properly. Wouldn’t it have been fine if you had stood guard properly in the first place?”
“Ugh.”
Hearing that word, he shut his mouth.
“Ah, do you care because I am a member of the church?”
“I don’t care, but the kill angle was measured.”
“Okay, if you want, I’ll withdraw from the church immediately. At this time, we will also cooperate in rescuing the passengers.”
Adri rated Kang Seung-hyeon’s value higher than that of the Church of Simua Rize.
From the first time I heard that the church was tossed around for a week, I assumed that he was not an ordinary person, and the moment I saw that the guards except for Phrygia had been wiped out, I was thinking of hiring him somehow.
“Right, if you come under me, I thought I’d give you something nice as a bonus.”
At Adry’s signal, a nearby soldier brought an ornate box.
Inside was a black, sharp dagger.
“That’s it! It’s a dihilder knife!”
“That’s right. Dehilder Knife. It’s the weapon that Bounty Hunter Yoon Ki-jun used to use.”
The Dihilder Knife is a limited edition weapon with only 20 in the world, and since Hunter Yoon Gi-jun disappeared with the No. 1 knife, it is an ultra-rare item with only 19 remaining.
“I overheard your story a little while ago.”
“Even if you gave me everything else, you said you would never give me that much!”
“I hope you can take care of that noisy, incompetent fellow with this.”
“what?”
Lee Ji-ah looked at Kang Seung-hyun with a hard face.
The dihilder knife is famous, but it is a weapon with high magic efficiency, so it deals good damage, so it was one of the weapons that adventurers who mainly use daggers drool.
‘There’s no way I won’t accept this!’
She carefully took the angle of escape.
He’s a strong person, but if he even uses a dihilder knife, he won’t have a chance.
“Oh no need. You don’t have to give it.”
However, Kang Seung-hyeon rejected Adrai’s offer without hesitation.
“Why? Could it be that you don’t know the value of this knife?”
“That one? I’ve used it before, but it’s not good.”
“what?”
The moment Adri tried to reply,
“In the first place, I would rather work for a person like you.”
Pak!
Seunghyun Kang laughed at Adri and blew away the knife he was holding.
“It’s better to eat them.”
