Apostle Evan (4)
“The time has come. Let the final worship begin.”
Archbishop Easel Naidry, head of the Far East Branch of the Guido Order, took a moment to catch his breath, then went up to the podium and opened the textbook.
With her stamina at a considerable age, it is difficult to continue worship services for thousands of believers.
If Izel had been a magic user, he might have been free from physical problems.
However, those who performed the role of priestesses of the church for generations intentionally refrained from enhancing their achievements.
Building up a hierarchy means that oneself is fully completed and exists.
This is because the priestess herself must essentially be empty in order to receive and pass on revelations from the gods outside the open sea.
The priestess, who had to deliver the divine revelation right next to the head of the church, had to avoid any obstacles in carrying out her mission.
Although she had long since stepped down from the role of a priestess, Izel was still thoroughly avoiding building a hierarchy.
Even though all the seats on the podium where the agents were seated were not filled, just as Izel was about to start the service,
one of the priests kneeling in the front row opened his mouth.
“Priestess, I’m sorry, but I have a question for a moment.”
“Tell me.”
“Why did you move the location of the Far East branch to the Sea of Understanding?”
At the priest’s words, the turmoil in the plaza quickly subsided.
It was because there were not a few priests of the same church who were curious about that fact.
“I understand that you are allowed to run on the sea because of the great blessings bestowed on the Far East branch.”
“It is true.”
“Then, wouldn’t it be too risky to locate the branch in the territorial waters of the Sea of Understanding close to the Philenom Dominion at this time….”
“….”
The priest quietly lowered his head at Izel’s gaze, which stared at the priest without answering.
“I am saying this for the safety of the priests gathered at the General Assembly. Do you know which organization has the Dominion as its headquarters?”
blue eyes.
At least among the believers gathered at this General Assembly, there will be no priests who have not heard of his name.
The name, which was so weak before the blood and blood of Cheongyeon took over, has now grown so huge that it can be proudly shaken up all over the eastern part of the country.
Didn’t it say that it wasn’t enough to win the final victory in the Northern Hanghasasa Labyrinth? It was said that he obtained the Valley of the Middle East and pierced the way to the center.
No one was deaf enough to not hear the news of a new power intruding on the frozen front.
“If the courtesy watchers start appearing in territorial waters, it may already be too late.”
“What do you mean?”
“If you permit, I would like to use the power brought from our branch to protect the Far East branch.”
“….”
“I don’t need to say anything about the excellence of the proofreaders, but if the priestess is enduring a close battle with the blue eyes, we won’t be able to back down either.”
Seeing the high priest of the Far West branch teasing his tongue without changing his expression, Izel recalled a memory from a very long time ago.
The memory of the day she commanded the pantheon as a proper priestess.
Since He did not appear, the work of the church has become so crowded and ugly.
Even though I thought I had given up everything, it was inevitable that a corner of my heart was shaken.
“I knew my heart well. But you don’t have to.”
“Haona….”
“When the time comes, I will answer all your questions, so let’s finish all the worship services-”
Quaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
At that moment, a huge pillar of fire rose between the huge crystal palaces behind Izel.
* * *
“Did I hear correctly?”
Zaif’s expression, not realizing whether he understood it properly.
“I will kill the apostle Amrita…?”
The meaning and value of the 10 apostles Amrita within the Guido Church cannot be described.
The scales of Amrita in the Apocalypse. Although it requires enormous sacrifices and costs, how much value does a technique that enables large-scale space transfer have strategically?
Even inside the church, of course, Amrita’s existence and location were handled in an extremely secretive manner, so that no one knew where she was sleeping.
It was the first time in his life that even Jaif witnessed Amrita’s true body.
Does it make sense to tell Zaif, who did not even dare to touch the 10 apostles, let alone wake them up?
On the contrary, the fact that he did not immediately attack Lennok after hearing those words was proof that Zeif completely trusted Lennok.
As soon as Lennok saw Zaif’s reaction, he immediately changed his mind.
“Calm down. I didn’t mean to really try to kill Amrita.”
“…then?”
“It meant that there had to be that much commotion to buy some time before the archbishop started the ceremony.”
Lennok looked up at Amrita with his arms crossed.
“At least it is clear that the purpose the archbishop is trying to achieve through the ceremony is related to the 10 apostles. Isn’t it?”
“….”
“Then, we need to imprint the suspicion that something is wrong with the 10 apostles.”
“That’s right….”
“And someone will stay and bear all this before the Archbishop.”
Lennok spoke first before Zayf, who flinched at the words, could reply.
“I will stay.”
“Wait, that means….”
“You run away from here and disappear during the ceremony. When I give you a signal, you can come out and help. How are you?”
“Dangerous.”
Zaif’s face hardened.
“If you touch Amrita, you won’t be able to escape your anger either. No matter how much you try to stop the Archbishop’s treason by disrupting the ceremony… … .”
“Isn’t that the plan I proposed from the beginning?”
Lennox’s calm words left Zaype speechless.
“Even in the worst case, it’s right that I’m responsible for all of this myself.”
“….”
“If everything goes wrong, it is sufficient if you report all this treason directly to nature.”
“Apostle Evan…!!”
The appearance of Jaif calling out to Lennok with a choked voice.
Already in his mind, Lennok seemed like a martyr who would risk his life on fire for his mission.
Lennok looked at Zaif’s thrilled face and quietly patted him on the shoulder.
“It was a short time, but it was an honor to be with you. Even if all these plans are irreversible… … .”
“No, I won’t say goodbye.”
Jaif, biting his lip with a stern expression, turned his back.
“I will wait for the signal. certainly…. Stop all this rebellion and think only of what you see alive.”
“….”
“I will go.”
At the same time as he said that, Jaif’s figure disappeared from the room as if it had been washed.
He must have thought of running away to the outskirts of the island and hiding himself quietly out of sight of the archbishop.
After confirming that even Zaif’s presence and magical power had completely disappeared, Lennok sighed quietly.
“Whoa….”
Of course, Lennok had no intention of taking responsibility for all this and oxidizing fiercely instead of Zeif.
It’s just that at the point where things went like this, he left a suitable justification for separating Jaif, and left room for him to use it in case of an unexpected situation.
Lennok walked slowly and stood in front of Amrita.
Without any intellect or will, it is absorbed in making even breathing sounds while receiving and eating the food given to it.
No trace of the apostle’s mighty power, high intelligence, or foreign powers was felt anywhere in his body.
The only thing that caught my eye was an old mirror that had been thrown away at the feet of the gigantic body.
“…!!”
Lennok, who flinched slightly, immediately threw the sorcerer and grabbed the mirror.
A transparent crystal mirror processed in the shape of a hexagon. Lennok had already heard of this mirror’s existence.
While looking for papers on the existence projection rate, I found a paper with a rumor that such a thing existed.
land that runs through the sea. A mirror that reflects the will to exist there.
To be precise, it reflects an existence with the same projection rate as itself, but was it to say that it was no different from a different form of itself?
Lennok looked at the mirror, took a deep breath, and glanced at Amrita instead of Lennok.
Hwareuk!
What the mirror reflects is not a huge ball of hair, but someone sitting with their back turned and not looking this way.
“….”
It seemed clear that it was no ordinary mirror.
Lennok took a deep breath
and stood in front of the mirror.
However, in the image formed in the mirror, something other than himself was also visible.
A worn-out gun abandoned at his feet. And the blurry writing reflected on the far back side of the mirror.
– Waiting.
“Waiting….?”
The moment when Lennok held his breath in a daze at the message he couldn’t understand.
[…] … It’s ironic.]
Suddenly, a boom resonated behind Lennok’s back.
A tall monster wearing a talisman mask was looking up at a huge lump of hair with his hands behind his back.
[The fact that even the apostles who supported the church’s power with the most strategic power are now mere beasts who have lost their intellect and have fallen.]
“….”
[Would you believe it if all of the misery happening here was purely to keep her in reality?]
The words that Gap-seon quietly muttered were clear evidence that he, too, understood what was happening here.
[It’s just a pitiful existence that can only fall asleep when it eats humans. A beast that satisfies itself by using its strength and spitting out whatever it ate… … .]
The amulet mask of the Gap Seon waved quietly.
[Can you say that such things are apostles who receive the revelation of the end?]
“Are you sympathetic?”
At Lennok’s words as he quietly put down the mirror, Gap-seon laughed heartily.
[No way. But I mean you should know too. That that is the end of the incarnation, regardless of whether it accepts the will of the end.]
“….”
[Speaking of the cruel fact that even the most brilliant warriors and superhumans can’t avoid such an ending.]
Gap-seon continued to speak without looking away from Lennok.
[She is still living like this because the power of the end she supports is extraordinary. An ending worse than death awaits the followers of the church that worships the end.]
With those words, Gap-seon raised his gaze slightly upward.
[Exactly like that.]
At that moment, the hairball’s back cracked open, and a mouth made up of sharp teeth protruded from inside it, and it vomited out the corpse.
Chop Chop Chop!!!
As if savoring delicious food, softly mumbling and chewing and swallowing it, a truly creepy noise.
But Lennok paid more attention to the debris she vomited than to the fact that Amrita had vomited.
Among the inorganic objects protruding from Amrita’s mouth were the faces of the agents Lennok remembered.
Lennok murmured quietly as he watched the corpse sweep at his feet.
“You were forcibly making offerings to Amrita of the deputies who attended the assembly. so….”
His face stiffened, unable to even resist, as if he had never thought that an apostle would eat him.
Among the agents gathered in the plaza, they were relatively low level. Perhaps it wasn’t until the moment he died that he understood his end.
[Archbishop Nydri did not approach the sea of understanding for the apostle selection ceremony.]
Gap-seon’s voice changed sharply.
[Perhaps their true purpose is not to create new apostles, but to transform existing apostles into higher-dimensional beings.]
“Did you guess that from the beginning and continue your investigation separately?”
[I was certain from the moment I arrived on the island. Because it is an island like this, it may contain one of the most deadly secrets of the Church.] Did
you mean that he had intuited the existence of Amrita to some extent and had inferred the existence of this space from that point on?
There is no way to know what kind of experience Gap-seon has accumulated in the West Continent, but it seems certain that he has had a close relationship with the church at least once.
[There is a high possibility that what is happening here is not the judgment of the religious leader. The monster enjoys keeping everything under his eyes, even more stealthily and quietly than this, without even knowing that things have already been taken care of.] “
….”
A reference as if he knew personally about the religious leader.
But Lennok wasn’t quick to refute that comment.
The words and actions of the head of the church, seen in the memories of Amilla Bainger, head of the northeastern branch of the church, were not at all different from what Gap-seon said.
While recognizing that it is just a fragment left in someone’s memory, he clearly sees what will happen in real life as if he has experienced it.
As a result, didn’t all the words the religious leader mentioned about the well of the handbook fit right in?
Thinking about it, it was understandable that Gap-seon was convinced that the movement of the Far East branch was of a kind that was not in the leader’s plan.
“…You seem to think that the movement of the church itself is the dogma of the Far East branch.”
[Archbishop Nydri is a priestess from the past, and has a considerable level of influence even within the church. If you think about it, all of this makes sense. If the current situation is not the leader’s plan, but the bishop’s arbitrariness… … .]
Are you saying that now is the only chance to destroy the Far East branch and kill Amrita?
It was only then that Gap-seon realized why he was so aggressively trying to resolve this issue.
A small variable that occurred in the movement of the church, where everything goes back under the leadership of the leader and the apostles.
However, if only this could be used to seal the deadly magic ceremony of Amrita’s Scale.
While searching for unexplored regions to build new lighthouses all over the continent, the possibility of conflict with the church is significantly reduced.
No, it would be possible to go beyond that level and drastically reduce the influence of the Church on all sides of the continent.
If Lapis’s knowledge and judgment on the central front were borrowed, in the long run, the truce agreement between the Order Federation and the Church could be compromised.
Gap-seon is saying that what is happening here can, on the contrary, be the biggest fatal blow to the church.
“…good. I understood what you wanted to say. cooperate.”
Lennok, who was screaming and glaring at the humans being offered to the apostles, nodded slowly.
“It is impossible between us. Do you know?”
[…] … .]
“At least three. We need the help of high-ranking observers who specialize in combat. We need to contact Lapis and ask for reinforcements.”
The watchers who have gathered here now are those with the ability to deal with various situations selected by Lapis’ eyes.
However, it is also true that there are some shortcomings compared to the watchers who are specialized in frontal combat.
In the case of Lennok and Gap-seon, it is natural that they cannot deal with the entire Far East branch with only those two, even if they are not very bound to that category.
“If we use the Dominion’s navy to block outside intervention and directly beat Amrita to block the activation of the apostolic spell, then we can block reinforcements from the church.”
[The important thing is that it takes time for the lighthouse reinforcements to arrive.]
“I will take the time.”
[…] … Are you alone?]
“I touched various places inside the temple with the intention of disturbing the ceremony.”
Lennok turned his head.
“I thought in case you didn’t know, so I roasted and boiled even one of the apostles. Safeguards are sufficient.”
In addition to that, Enakpil’s five fingers, more than a dozen blinking spells, and Jindun’s control code.
Other observers may be killed on the spot, but Lennok himself is more than enough to pull himself out at any time.
On the contrary, if he entrusted the work to other watchers rather than Lenok to pass the time, there was a possibility that all the various tasks he had prepared with great effort would be ruined.
However, Gap-seon was silent for a long time and nodded quietly, probably impressed by Lenok’s attitude.
[It’s not an easy decision… … . I salute you for your dedication to the lighthouse.]
“Contact Pio and Rapford and go through the confrontation with the two of them.”
While saying that, Lennok handed me a piece of paper with the control code hidden in his arms.
“If you use this, you will be able to break through the island’s confrontation and contact Lapis for a while. How to receive reinforcements from there will depend on your ability.”
Unlike Lennok, who was relatively specialized in moving alone, if he was a master of amulets, he would be able to receive help from Lapis in many ways.
The reason why Lenok had to remain here, not Gapsun, was also there.
Gabsun, holding the control code Lenok handed to him, silently looked down at it and murmured.
[I was wrong. You must be similar to that man, yet different.]
“….”
[As much as the young wizard puts his heart into it, I will try my best too.]
Immediately after confirming that Gap-seon had disappeared, Lennok looked at Amrita as he breathed in silence.
Appearance close to a huge, pure white hair ball.
Ironically, its appearance also somewhat resembles the appearance of an unknown monster that the doctor of pandemonium took from the Hanghasa Labyrinth.
If it’s not a coincidence, the experiment the doctor is conducting through his research is probably… … .
Roaring!!
Putting aside thoughts that had no reason to worry right away, Lennok lit a fire at his fingertips.
[Exhaustion]
[Evolve] [
Revolutionary Advent]
Instead of inflating the flames as a result of the magic formula, it rapidly increases the size of the flames in a short period of time by combining several chanting.
Dozens of heat from the flames that rose up in a spiraling trajectory as if dancing along with the hands split apart as if they were tangled together, instantly inflating the size and size.
damn… … !!
[Kuuuuuuu… … !!]
Amrita’s body, which had been sleeping in the heat of the flames raging in all directions, also trembled uneasy and the sound of crying increased.
Before the peacefully sleeping 10 apostles fully awakened, Lennok seized the mana that was rampaging in all directions and chanted it as a beastman.
Inherent flame-type magic
[Red Wid Army]
[Taiheo Bead Master]
At that moment, the flames gathered in the middle of the huge room rose up into the sky and turned into a huge pillar of fire.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
[Kikii Iik!!!!]
The screams of Amrita, the 10 apostles, waking up from the center of the pillar of fire screaming in agony.
The room in which Amrita sleeps explodes as if it were about to explode, and a pillar of fire shoots up into the sky, creating a massive explosion for everyone on the island to see.
Riding the updraft of the pillar of fire, Lennok’s new model soared above the room and stretched out his hand, sensing thousands of gazes looking down at him.
Roaring!!!
Agents looking back at him from the podium of hundreds of correctional technicians running from afar.
And even Archbishop Easel Naidry looking back at this place with a stiff expression.
Receiving all the surprise and hostility alone, Lennok gathered the rising flames in his hands and laughed.
“Let’s start.”
