Apostle Evan (3)
“That’s something I should ask. The service isn’t over yet, so is it okay if the agent leaves?”
Come to think of it, was he one of the agents sitting on the podium in the square?
His outward appearance is normal, but judging by his unusually faint presence, he must be a talented person who puts the focus on mobility.
The bishop called Tritan scratched his cheek and replied.
“uh…. I don’t know, but he told me to go first because he has something to do at the temple.”
“….”
“Besides me, a few other agents were also away, but I don’t know where they are.”
Could it be that Archbishop Naidre noticed the abnormality that had taken place in the temple?
Lennok and Zaif quickly exchanged glances, but both shook their heads slightly at the same time.
If he knew that the two apostles went to and from the Archbishop’s office at will, he would not have been conducting services in a peaceful manner.
He probably sent the agents back to the temple for other business.
The archbishop’s secret may be hidden right there.
“By the way, what is the matter with the apostle Jaif? Who else is this person here?”
“actually….”
Zaif now told the priests a story he had repeated dozens of times in an adapted version.
Tritan nodded his head and listened to the story, and Tritan’s eyes shone brightly.
“No, I can’t believe there was an apostle with such sincere faith in my own nature…” … !!”
“….”
“I can’t stand still. We will help together!!”
“…what?”
After quickly rolling up his arms, Zeif’s expression slightly distorted at Tritan’s reaction.
Tritan smiled and started fiddling with the broken wall.
“It seems that it was difficult with the priests alone, but I also did a lot of chores like this in the Northwest Branch. If you get caught by me, it’s like eating a cold fortune cookie.”
“Did the fortune cookie mean that?”
“Hmm, what does that matter? rather than that… … .”
Tritan, who glanced at Lennok, cleared his throat and murmured.
“Could you please pay attention during the selection ceremony…. It would be nice to hear a definite answer on that part.”
“….”
“Wouldn’t it be possible to have a senior-junior relationship?”
So instead of taking care of the turmoil in the temple, please help me to stand out in the eyes of the archbishop during the ceremony.
Despite the fact that he had a good impression, he was a sly guy.
The moment Zaype was about to dismiss the remark with an absurd expression, Lennok took a step forward and nodded.
“Is there any way to refuse to cooperate for the temple? However, there is something I would like to ask you here as well.”
“Yes, you say.”
Lennok’s gaze shone sharply at Tritan’s expectant face.
“The place of promise that the archbishop gave a promise in advance. Could you listen for a moment before the ceremony begins?”
* * *
A gigantic ammunition warehouse located behind Daeshinjeon and food courts in the Far East Branch.
Unlike other buildings made of stone, it is impressive that it has a solid steel plate and the exterior is painted white.
It’s easy to mistake because of the strong smell of paint, but it wasn’t hard to notice the abnormality if you got a little closer.
At first glance, it seems to be left defenseless without guards, but the entire ammunition depot is surrounded and protected by elaborate barriers.
As soon as an intruder or strange magic approaches, a signal is sent to the manager of the barrier and the entire barrier is isolated.
Among Jindun’s barrier techniques, careful management is required, but it is a high-level isolation barrier that guarantees security.
It was disguised as if it was not very important, but unlike other facilities, what does the fact that Jindun’s barrier art was newly overlaid only here? What does it mean?
Without hesitation, Lennok took out another piece of paper with a control code on it and stood in front of the door without hesitation.
“….”
The smell of paint that had just been wafting through the door like a lie, an unknown stench.
The smell was so strong that even Lennok’s dull sense of smell could tell that it wasn’t simply flowing from filth.
After checking the surroundings once more, I was speechless at the shocking scenery that caught my eyes as soon as I opened the door.
Bullets and lumps of gunpowder rolling on the floor were soaked in sticky goo, and countless corpses were scattered randomly on top of them.
A naked body with no clothes on, regardless of gender or age. There was not even a hint of blood left on his body.
The behavior of being abandoned in an ammunition depot with limbs twisted into a strange shape, stiff and rigid like a white wax figure.
Even Lennok, who sternly copes with the death of a person, faintly frowns at that figure.
“Not serious.”
Lennox shook his head at the scene inside the ammunition depot that was so horrifying that even Jaif was slightly nervous.
“…The problem is that this is not all.”
The fact that the location of the ammunition magazine was hidden even from Jaif was proof that they wanted to hide it.
Why did Archbishop Nydri hide this place and leave a message so that only agents can sneak in?
After carefully examining the corpses scattered here and there, Lennok finally succeeded in finding out the identity of the faint sense of déjà vu.
“Apostle Zaif Look at this part.”
Lennok said as he lifted the old man’s corpse, leaning against the wall.
“A small hole through the chest under the left armpit. Scars similar to these exist on every corpse.”
“Right. There shouldn’t be any traces like this in the process of offering… … .”
“It was not a spell, but a physical method. Do you know what this means?”
At the same time, magicians who stretched out from their fingertips began to lift all the corpses and quickly lift the ammunition storage floor.
“Someone has killed people in this bizarre way.”
“…someone?”
“And
thump thump thump!!
The sound of the entire ammunition depot shaking. But Lennok didn’t mind the fuss and continued to focus on searching everywhere.
A different noise than before echoed among the magicians passing by without rest.
Lennok immediately rubbed a piece of paper with Jindun’s control code written on the area where he felt the déjà vu.
Awesome… … !!
The barrier hidden deep inside the mountains of corpses melted, revealing a circular passage.
A lukewarm breath blew from inside the wide open aisle.
Lennok muttered as he looked down the aisle carefully.
“It’s not just a warehouse where bodies are kept.”
Why did most of the barriers in the Far East branch change to barrier techniques using Jindun’s relics?
Now I think I know whether the facilities inside the temple were out of the control of the priests to the extent of being strange.
Archbishop Nydri had a secret he wanted to keep hidden through his own power, even if it meant that other priests could not control the barrier or the security facility.
“It’s a breathing hole that spits out the humans it feeds on.”
“then….”
Lennok and Zaif faced each other and then took turns pushing themselves into the passageway.
Reverse the direction of the wild wind and go up the aisle.
“…!!”
Woowook!!
Lennok’s body, which came out as if it were bouncing between the swollen flesh, rose in an instant through the dark darkness.
Looking at the face of the priest who stopped right next to him with his mouth wide open, Lennok raised his magic power.
[Dream Island]
[Obsessed]
Chizuzuzuzu… … !!!
Dozens of electrical currents bursting through the priestly clothes rotated in an instant, penetrating and twisting the priests moving in all directions, tearing them apart.
The immense firepower compressed between the lightning bolts thinner than a finger instantly took life out of that body.
Lenok, who had killed more than a dozen priests in an instant without even being able to control himself, put his hands on the floor and groaned.
“Woo-wook….!!”
Even though I took motion sickness medicine, it was a problem of speed, but the scenery spread out in all directions made it unnecessary to endure nausea.
A pure white room presumed to be the hidden annex of the temple. It was because dead human bodies and oozing ooze were tightly packed all around it.
The smell of moisture and sap that filled the entire space made it difficult to even breathe. The priests Lennok had killed also wore something resembling a gas mask on their faces.
If it wasn’t for something like this, it would be difficult to breathe, so would it have died without even screaming?
If it wasn’t for Shield’s filter magic, Lennok wouldn’t have been able to last even a few minutes in this space.
Zaif, who had followed him down the aisle, also muttered a little embarrassed.
“I can’t believe there was such a bitch hidden in the Far East branch… … . The Archbishop really… … .”
“….”
I got up and took a quick look around.
A huge room made in the shape of a hexagon. Bodies treated with ooze are discharged through passages at the bottom of each barrier to be disposed of.
Receiving the corpses protruding endlessly from the center of the room, wiping the sap and sending it down the sewer.
If you throw a corpse that has been cleaned of liquid inside it, it will be pushed one by one and fall out of the aisle.
Lennok looked at the corpse still wet and fell silent.
A gruesome death as if tears of blood were shed from the five pores on his face.
It is a behavior in which you can clearly feel the level of fear and pain at the time of the offering.
I forcibly ignore it and turn my gaze towards the center of the room, only then do I see a being constantly reproducing all these corpses.
[Kuu kuu….]
Clean and soft hair ball like pure white cotton candy.
A gigantic hairball that is well over ten meters tall fills the center of the room and falls asleep with a quiet breathing sound.
An appearance that feels pure, far removed from this terrible space.
However, the appearance of corpses covered in ooze escaping from under the hairball whenever it exhales and stirs is by no means an illusion.
Before Lennok could say anything about the rudeness,
Zaif, who was standing next to him, muttered in a strangled voice.
“The Ten Apostles Amrita…. Why in a place like this… … .”
“….”
Apostle Amrita. Lennok knows the name very well.
The master of the sadistic ceremony called [Amrita’s Scales], which is capable of space-transferring the same number of human lives by making offerings.
“Apostle Evan, there was not an inch of lies in your words. How far were you looking?”
Zaif’s expression was contorted with a bizarre emotion bordering on fear.
“Archbishop Nydri did not intend to make the deputies apostles. She intends to simply offer the devotees of each branch to Lord Amrita as food.”
“….”
“The ritual must be stopped. Please tell me anything, and I will cooperate with all my might in whatever you intend to do.”
Zaif’s strong gaze seemed as if he would agree to go to kill the archbishop right in front of his eyes.
Lennok shook his head inwardly as he listened to Jaif’s burning words.
Have I come too far now to say that I never knew all these lies would become the truth?
If all the words that were used to deceive Jaif returned like a boomerang and accurately penetrated the secret of the Far East Branch, if
that secret was of such a magnitude that even Lennok’s original plan had to be changed.
There was no time to think long.
Sunset, when the sun is almost gone. Now that the service is over, the archbishop also has enough time to notice the abnormality that has taken place in the temple.
“good.”
Lenok sighed, lifted his head, and his eyes shone sharply.
“If you go that far, I will tell you what to do one last time. Are you ready?
“okay…!!”
“I will kill the apostle Amrita on the spot.”
