Chapter.6 In the name of glory (12)
***
Borka said it was already too late, but the professor thought differently.
‘For someone so desperate, you tried to leave quietly at first, right? For the first time, before he was hit by me, I could see him not even transforming, but just subduing him moderately and trying to run away. It is clearly an action that was conscious of the members of the church who will be wandering around here.’
Because you simply want to live? If that were the case, the moment he was caught by the church’s paladins, he would have gone on a rampage like he did now. According to the rumor, if you are dragged away, you will die. However, the fact that he was in the church’s annex unharmed means that he was brought in without resisting. What did a werewolf who came to the city in search of his family think when he saw the members of the cult that were capturing werewolves?
“Lastly, you wanted to check the cult’s dungeon, right? Since you were captured like this, I wanted to check whether your family members who were taken to the city were also dragged into the cult like you. But to risk your life to join the church… were you really anxious? Or-”
“Three years. It’s been 3 years. “Three years of leaving my hometown and wandering this hate-filled city!”
Borka cut the professor off and let out a breath filled with furnace-like anger.
“I believed that they were good merchants. “They were merchants with warm smiles who gifted glassworks to village women and handed out snacks to children!”
Shupak!
Borka did not stop attacking even as he spoke. I managed to avoid it by bending my back, and the nails were sharp enough to smoothly cut through the solid granite wall.
“It was a misunderstanding. There are good people among humans! So I thought! So welcome them! Allowed me to stay in town! “I didn’t even know that the dinner they gave me as a thank you was poisoned!”
Sigh!
“Cheet! It’s so damn fast! so! “You’re not saying they killed their own people and kidnapped our children!”
“You don’t know! “It was not something that could be expressed in a short word like death!”
Paang!
Attacks getting faster and faster. The professor caught Borka’s arm against the thick pillar in the middle of the room and, taking advantage of the slight slowdown from Borka’s fingernails grazing the pillar, grabbed his arm again and quickly threw him away. This is because the resistance felt from the captured Borka’s arm was unusual for holding on and slashing like before. His gray fur had suddenly turned silver and was emitting a light that was dangerous to look at at a glance.
‘Is it mana or spiritual energy? ‘This guy is completely different from before he transformed, isn’t he?’
Borka, who was thrown at the professor and flew like a cannonball, flipped over in the air, landed lightly, crouched down on all fours like a wolf, kicked off the wall, and jumped towards the professor. An attack similar to that of a wolf rushing towards its prey, but dozens of times stronger and faster than that. It felt instinctive. If you try to grab it, both your arms will be cut off.
The professor sighed and concentrated all his strength on his right arm.
“Ac. “I had the ability to see, so I tried to win in a cool way.”
[Isn’t that at a level where it’s worth considering? If you leave it as it gets stronger, you might lose. Just beat them up in peace.]
“Who wouldn’t want to do that? “There is no mute blood here… Hmm!”
Tdu-duh-deuk-!
In an instant, Borka’s arm, which had swelled more than three times its size, was greatly thrown back and lunged through the wind like a javelin. In an instant, Borka closed the distance and headed for the professor’s neck.
“human! “I hate you!!!”
“Eh, I don’t know! “Don’t die from being hit, Borka!”
Sigh!
Just before Borka sank his fangs into the back of the professor’s neck, his silver fur fluttering, the huge right arm that had been waiting for him swung like a loaded bullet, and the sound of a leather bag bursting rang out loudly.
Whoops!
.
.
.
A moment of silence. And
kuaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!
Borka, who was hit by the professor’s right hook with all his might, flew through the wall of the building like a missile.
Quaaaang!
Quang!
Wow.
Kuung –
.
.
.
.
The professor scratched his head with his left hand instead of his right hand, which had been shattered by the explosion, while still hearing the sound of something being smashed in the distance.
“Tsk. “I must have died.”
[Foul. I should have hit it upwards.]
“I hit it sideways on purpose, dude. “If it had been a home run, it would have gone over the church walls.”
The professor narrowed his eyes and looked beyond the teaching dormitory, where almost one entire wall had been blown away.
“No, is he alive? I think I can see something small wriggling in the distance…”
– Namba Three: That’s rigor mortis, bro.
– Speed Wagon: Even freshly slaughtered beef jumps when you cut it.
– Soy Sauce Gay Bar: Don’t die! (Full Power)
– Jokass: Did you see your eyes flashing bright white the moment you hit it? Wow, I thought those were the eyes of a murderer.
– takealook: Take out the opponent’s resentment as much as possible and then kill him. Is it like some kind of Buddhahood ritual? Still, if you consider that he was treated as a hero of the church, then…
“No, I really didn’t intend to kill him. Just seeing him rubbing against me like this shows that he is not a useful guy, so it would be a shame if he died. It’s just… I was a lot stronger than I thought. “It wasn’t like this originally?”
[Because our bodies are still growing. If I hadn’t messed around with Borka, I would have worked out today until every muscle in my body was torn to prevent infection. The risk is certain, but the reward is also certain. It looks like they destroyed a few more church buildings nearby, but is there anyone caught up in it?]
“….I guess it’ll be okay. These days, the current situation is such that everyone in the church must have gone out for early morning prayers. It’ll be okay? maybe?”
With that, the professor massaged his shoulder, which was not there for no reason, with his left hand, and walked over the collapsed wall to find Borka.
Rattling rattling!
“It’s a monster… The cult members sold us into the hands of monsters…”
And the rest of the members of the death squad who were looking at the professor laughing and talking to himself with one of his arms blown off. I was trembling from the horror of that incredible sight.
***
Slam! Slam!
“stop! Identify yourself! This place is now under the control of the Holy Knights of Light…”
“Oh my. but. “If you cause such a fuss and the Paladins don’t move, it’s a dereliction of duty.”
The professor, who followed the trail of destruction that stretched straight from the large hole in the dormitory, was finally able to find Borka. He was in a flying posture, but the Holy Knights were surrounding him, radiating a ferocious energy, as he was stuck on the wall.
[Oh, he’s not dead.]
“No, not only is he not dead, but it seems like he’s conscious?”
Slurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrm!
At that moment, Borka’s transformation was released, his body shrank, and his body, which was stuck in the wall, fell.
The professor dove into the crowd of paladins stopping him and deftly caught Borka’s falling body with one hand.
“Tsk!”
Wow!
“Stop! That beast has caused a commotion within the territory of the sacred church, so its sin must be dealt with severely-”
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…
The paladin’s words did not last until the end. This is because the necklace the professor took out from around his neck illuminated the dark surroundings with a sacred light.
“I am a cult hero.”
“Oh no, why is it a sacred relic of the religious order…”
“We were training about an internal issue at the Death Order. Is there any problem?”
The paladin seemed to have a lot to say, but he ended up keeping his mouth shut in front of the sacred object that radiated dazzling light and shook before his eyes.
“….This is where the servants of Haram live. Please exercise restraint…. If those heretics need education, please tell us. “I know a lot of effective methods.”
“Oh yeah. Good work.”
The professor roughly ignored the Paladin’s words and turned around with Borka on his shoulder, leaving the Paladins like dogs chasing chickens.
Jump, jump, jump, jump, jump
“….Cough! “Keuuuuu…”
“Hey. I was really awake. “Isn’t this stronger than me?”
As I emerged from among the Holy Knights and headed toward the dormitory of the Order, Borka, who was carried on my shoulder, trembled and moaned and opened his mouth.
“…Kill him.”
“no. You will go with me to catch the queen. “You must live unconditionally.”
“Tsk!”
At the professor’s words, Borka groaned again, turned his head and spit out bloody phlegm in the professor’s face.
“Don’t be puffed up…. Even though you guys may be able to restrain my body, my soul…”
“Tsk, you’re such a frustrating, stupid, and even dirty guy. -1 point.”
At the professor’s words, Borka, who was on his shoulder, became angry.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu theirs theirs his theirs their theirs theirs theirs theirs theirs theirs theirs our ours, theirs and theirs!”
“No, it’s not an insult, it’s a fact. You haven’t been able to find the kidnapped kids for three years, right? If you’re still looking for it, you probably haven’t even identified the body, right? “So when you were caught by the cult, didn’t you think it would be the last time and wanted to check to see if you were in the cult?”
After mixing my hands once, I became more confident in my guess. Ordinary paladins who are not high-ranking paladins residing in the temple but are scattered and carrying out missions cannot deal with Borka who gives his all. This guy was captured even though he knew he would die if he was dragged in. Hoping for some last hope.
Borka was silently confirming his guess.
“It’s obvious. Roderick is a werewolf who came out of the forest and treats everyone except humans like animals. It must have been worn out after being hit here and there like garbage for three years. “Hope is inherently volatile, so if you keep holding it, it will disappear before you know it.”
Three years in a cold city where there was no trace of the children and no one accepted them. This is enough time for all hope to run out and despair to take its place.
“You idiot. They are the ones who engage in long-distance trafficking over such enormous distances, from Roderick to the Great Forest. “Can you find it in a normal way?”
“Then what… are you saying you should have done it? I desperately searched using every method I knew. “I did that and couldn’t find it, so I had to go back to the forest?”
“It’s the way you ‘know’… that’s wrong.”
Jump and jump.
For a moment, the only sound that came between them was the sound of footsteps on the grass.
The professor raised his head for a moment and looked at the sky. Unlike the dark night sky of the wasteland, the night sky shines beautifully as if it were sprinkled with jewels. A landscape that makes people emotional. Maybe that’s why useless words came out.
“If you had known a little more about the human world, you might have had a chance to find them during those three years. “In some cases, ignorance can be a sin.”
“It’s sophistry. Easier said than done-”
“That’s how I lost my mom.”
Jump, jump, jump.
The professor, who had already walked to the place where the organization’s dormitory was visible, broke the heavy silence and opened his mouth.
“I had a chat with the bishop here during the day. “I thought I moved quite quietly, but the Gwangmyeong Church knew where I was and what I did.”
“…..”
“There is an information network that uses church members. Not only this Rodrik, but also the information network made up of Ro-Haram believers that exists everywhere in the world. If, instead of being treated like an animal like this, you become their hero by making a contribution that they can never ignore as a member of the cult’s deadly force… Using that information network, we can also find information about the leader who brought a lot of wolf beasts from the forest three years ago. Wouldn’t it be possible to see it? “Maybe you already have that information.”
Jump, bump, bump.
The professor, who entered the building through a hole in the wall, put Borka down in a corner and said.
“Think about it carefully. The beast people do not die easily thanks to their strong vitality. “If you don’t give up, there is still hope.”
The professor left Borka, who had become silent earlier, and walked towards the rest of his colleagues, who were completely frightened and frozen as if they had been glued to the table.
“Well, it was a little noisy, but I think that friend’s question was somehow resolved. “Is there anything else you want to ask me?”
Of course, no one could do that even after seeing Borka lying like a corpse in the corner with his face puffed out like bread dough.

‘Mmm good! The mood has become very good!’
[Shell: Do you really think this is a good atmosphere? Does everyone make an expression like their bladder feels dizzy every time they look at you?]
‘It’s okay, it’s okay! Originally, a leader must have a certain scary side.’
In fact, the atmosphere the professor was talking about was not simply referring to the fear that is currently created among people.
‘It wasn’t my intention, but I exercised my skills properly anyway.’
As with any group, people prefer strong leaders. If someone gives you an order, you have to be at least a better person than that person so you won’t be dissatisfied with following it. Why is there a famous saying? ‘I don’t listen to orders from someone weaker than me!’ Same thing.
‘First of all, at least in terms of combat power, the fact that I am qualified to command them is enough to appeal.’
Seeing people flinch and avoid each time the professor glares at them, it seems like the appeal is a little too much.
‘That’s something that can be resolved gradually.’
Anyway, we’ve persuaded Borka well, so now it’s time to persuade the rest.
Fortunately, it wasn’t that difficult to convince the wizards.
“Old Man Otman?”
“Hey! I’ll follow you! “I will follow you unconditionally!”
“Well, first of all, thank you, but I still want to say something…”
“Aaaah! I will follow! must! “I will follow you unconditionally, so please spare my life…!”
“Oh really! “Just listen!”
In fact, it took more time to calm him down than to persuade him.
“…So, the Reed Flow School will be labeled by the Gwangmyeong Church anyway, so even if they leave, it will be difficult for them to function properly. There is no money to build a new magic tower. Rural areas are more influenced by religious denominations, so if the local priest says something that makes him uncomfortable, he will be chased out by the villagers who swarm like bees. At best, you’ll get a job in an alchemy guild and make purified water for a living. As a wizard, that’s a bit much, right? “I will never be able to dream of something like the mystery of water for the rest of my life, right?”
“Umm… right.”
“So, we must carry out this mission properly and clearly show the people of the Gwangmyeong Church that the Reed Flow School is not a group of people who should be treated as heretics.”
“Right. You’re surprisingly smart, aren’t you? Unlike what you do…”
“Yes?”
“Oh no! Nothing!”
In this way, water magicians also voluntarily joined.
“Warlock, you know without me telling you, right?”
“…Anyway, if I don’t participate, I’ll be put to death.”
“That’s one thing, but the important thing is to show the church that we can oppose Mutes and warlocks who share the same views as them, following the orders of the church. The people of the Gwangmyeong Church cover up their hate when it comes to warlocks, but if you show that there are warlocks who take a different line from them, wouldn’t it be helpful not only to the warlocks but also to the warlocks who are unfairly oppressed and in a similar situation? So…”
“That’s enough. Without saying anything more, I know our situation better than you. Anyway, I have my life pledged to the church. “They took my soul jar.”
“Ah… you were there.”
As one of the main enemies in World 3 is a black magician, there was quite a bit of information about black magic spread throughout the community. Although it differs depending on the black magic tribe, a black magician wearing a large necklace that looks important at first glance has a weak point. It was said that if it breaks, you will die, but it seemed to be the soul jar that this warlock was talking about.
“Then will you please do your best on the mission?”
“I can’t help it. But why did you speak informally earlier and now speak politely again? “It confuses people.”
“I will only do it when I need to. Only when I need to.”
I won’t say anything since I have to keep it short and concise when giving orders, but I just feel uncomfortable talking to older people like Otman and warlocks. The Confucian blood inside me is causing a rejection reaction.
Anyway, it has been confirmed that the warlock will also actively participate in the mission.
Finally, he succeeded in uniting these unique colleagues with one goal: [solving the mission of the church].
Clap clap!
The professor, who caught their attention by applauding once again, looked back at the people with a wide smile, like a happy person in the world.
“Ego! Now everyone has become colleagues in the true sense of the word. Yes? I’d like to have a drink, but it’s already late at night and it looks like I’ll be busy starting tomorrow, so let’s just sleep for today. See you all tomorrow!”
Saying that, the professor quickly went to the corner, covered himself with a blanket provided by the church, and lay down. The atmosphere was so chaotic that I felt like no one would be able to sleep if I didn’t force it to be organized.
Still, the professor fell asleep feeling proud of having reached the starting line.
“Uuuuuuu….”
“Shh! “Don’t make a sound! The monster will wake up!”
Unfortunately, despite the professor’s efforts, the wizards could not sleep as they watched the professor’s severed right arm sticking out of the blanket and growing in real time.
