Episode 1053 I was crazy too. (8)
The two groups that were staining the completely collapsed land of Hangzhou with blood stopped moving in different ways.
“…Bishop….”
Jeok-il’s chin was trembling. If someone who didn’t know who he was had seen this scene, they would have thought it was pitiful.
His mission was to make sure that these foul infidels did not dare disturb the bishop’s rest. This is something that should have been properly accomplished as a magistrate serving the bishop.
But he failed to properly complete that mission. Finally, the tip of their swords was aimed at the bishop. That fact filled the whole of Jeokil with indescribable fear.
The demonic cultists who received Jeokil’s instructions were not that different. Everyone looked at Danjagang, standing alone among the ruins, in shock.
And the disciples of Hwasan, who had caused Jeokil and other demonic cultists to make the greatest mistake, were looking at Danjagang with a different meaning.
‘what?’
Embarrassment flashed in Baekcheon’s eyes.
‘He’s a bishop?’
The man standing alone was very different from the bishop Baekcheon had been thinking of. The bishop he saw in the North Sea was someone who could not be described other than as a monster. A crystal of great malice that wears a human mask but does not look like a human at all. That is the appearance of the bishop that Baekcheon remembers.
But what he sees now is…
‘different.’
Although his tall stature and abnormally thin body were strangely creepy, he was not as inhumane as the bishop he remembered. Rather, it seemed like he was a ronin that could be seen everywhere.
But…
creepy.
It was just in my head. Baekcheon’s body was clearly feeling it.
Something infinitely greater hidden beneath that unremarkable appearance. An abyss so dark and gloomy that it feels like you’ll be crushed just by facing it.
Baekcheon pursed his lips and glanced around. The faces of those nearby were also pale and frozen. They too are feeling the same thing as Baekcheon.
Baekcheon’s eyes stopped on Cheongmyeong’s back. Even though he was facing the bishop, his back did not shake even slightly.
Danjagang slowly looked down at the glass in his hand.
The red liquor in the glass was suddenly covered with dust and became cloudy. No matter how much they stepped onto the land of the central plains and occupied this place, it felt like those who worshiped the Heavenly Demon were not qualified to drink American wine.
Danjagang stared at the glass in silence for a while and then slowly brought it to his lips. And then I poured myself a drink.
The original feeling of a fragrant tickle at the tip of my nose is nowhere to be found. It was nothing more than disgusting waste water that had lost its scent and taste and only had the taste of dirt and dust.
However, Danjagang did not avoid the disgusting taste of the dirty water and fully accepted it. Because what they originally drank was not that different from this old food.
Savoring the disgusting taste and aroma in his mouth, Danjagang slowly opened his hand holding the drink.
Jang.
The fallen glass shattered and scattered.
“It’s sad.”
Danjagang, who looked at the scattered white porcelain for a moment, then shifted his gaze. To the two people in front.
A swordsman with loud teeth like a clown and cold eyes wearing a black uniform.
Then, they captured with their eyes the images of those standing behind them and the believers looking at them with frightened faces. Dan Zagang’s eyes were still so dark that others could not guess his intentions.
‘Are you saying you can’t allow me even the smallest of conveniences that you enjoy?’
Danjagang laughed softly. In fact, from their perspective, Danjagang is nothing more than an invader who came to take away everything they enjoy.
“Lord Bishop!”
At that time, Jeok-il bowed down on the spot, screaming like a scream.
“It is not a matter for the bishop to step forward directly. “I will take care of these!”
Danjagang glanced at the enemy. The situation was a mess. The tip of Danjagang’s lips twitched slightly.
“Please forgive my insensitivity and give me a chance to make up for my mistakes…”
“Go away.”
“Lord Bishop.”
Danjagang’s gaze turned to Cheongmyeong and Jang Ilso, who were in the lead.
I felt different energies. The energy on one side is refreshing enough to be repulsive, and the energy on the other side is bizarre enough to make you feel sick. Like water and oil that never mix, their energies are extremely conflicting.
But what is in those two eyes is not different.
Obvious hostility.
Danjagang slowly opened his mouth, feeling the open hostility pouring out.
“Here…”
But he soon stopped talking. This is because he realized that he was trying to ‘talk’ to them.
Of course, he has talked a lot with the people of Central Plains so far. But that couldn’t be called a ‘conversation’. Because simply conveying one’s position is nothing more than a one-sided notification.
But now Danjagang did not try to notify them. I was trying to ask and listen to them.
Dan Zagang slightly closed his eyes.
‘I’m blurred.’
Now, even if you try to deny it, you can’t. Now, no matter what happens, he will not be able to return to Bishop Danjagang where he left the church.
But… even so…
it was that moment.
“You’re a young guy.”
The swordsman in black military uniform standing in the lead said with a crooked smile. The staring eyes were vivid.
“It’s not even funny.”
“….”
“Someone who has never seen the Heavenly Demon is licking the soles of the feet of a non-existent Heavenly Demon.”
If I had been Danjagang not long ago, I would have felt indescribable anger at those words. Just like those believers who dare not let out their boiling anger in front of the Danja River and force themselves to suppress it.
But funny enough, the current Danjagang did not feel much anger at those words. Because he also thought that that statement was not so wrong. Even though he knew that it was proof of his broken faith.
That’s why I became curious again.
“I have a question for you, Prosecutor.”
“I don’t think we are friendly enough to talk to each other?”
Danjagang laughed softly.
“I guess it would be nice to ask a favor.”
At those words, Cheongmyeong’s eyes brightened slightly.
‘A hundred years…’
I realized once again how long it had been. I never thought I would see a bishop saying such things with my own eyes.
“Speak up.”
There was silence for a moment. Danjagang, who was looking at Cheongmyeong and Jang Ilso in silence, slowly opened his dry lips.
“…Why don’t you run away?”
“what?”
Dan Zagang’s indifferent gaze pierced Cheongmyeong.
“A person of your caliber would have already felt it. “You probably understand.”
Danjagang’s tone was decisive, as if he was stating a certain fact.
“The difference in power is clear. “You can’t stop me.”
This wasn’t a threat. At least from Danjagang’s perspective.
“But why don’t you run away? Why do you try to resist? “Why do you want to fight a fight with a fixed outcome?”
This is truly foolish.
Of course, I admit that they are strong. At that level, he is such an expert that it is difficult to find a rival in the church, unless it is at the level of a bishop.
But on the contrary, you will be able to understand it clearly the moment you encounter it. That there is no chance of winning for them.
‘Then why do they have such unwavering eyes?’
Why are they able to stick to their own path even in the face of a gigantic being that they cannot oppose?
It was a meaningless question, but it was one that Danjagang had no choice but to ask.
However, the answer that came back was a little different from what Danjagang expected. What came back to him was clear ridicule.
“I’m going to hear all kinds of stupid questions. “Did you become a thinker after living in the outskirts of the Demonic Cult, eating nothing but dirt?”
It was a very rude and impudent feeling to show to the bishop. Cheongmyeong laughed out loud and then asked Danjagang again.
“then? “The enemy is strong, so we should bow before him and submit?”
“….”
“Listen carefully, you stupid bastard. “Cowards like you might be so scared of death that they would punish a heavenly demon that doesn’t even exist, but I am a human being who would rather be defeated than do that.”
“…Are you saying you’re not afraid of death?”
“Of course you’re scared, you stupid bastard.”
Cheongmyeong laughed as if he was shocked.
“But giving in is more shitty than dying. Especially to bastards like you.”
The moment Dan Zagang was about to open his mouth, a faint nasal sound pierced his ears.
“Hmmmm.”
Danjagang’s gaze turned to Jang Ilso next to Cheongmyeong.
Blood-red lips painted on an all-white face drew an eerie curve.
“…I want you to make me a bishop. “I was wondering what an amazing human being he was.”
Jang Il-so paused for a moment and sighed exaggeratedly.
“This is a little disappointing.”
Dan Zagang’s eyebrows twitched uncomfortably.
“Know one thing.”
Jang Il-so spoke in a voice that was extremely ostentatious. The youthful spirit on his face made even Danjagang in the world frown.
“The moment you acknowledge that someone exists above you, you end as a person.”
“….”
“That is the difference between those who rule and those who are ruled. And I am not afraid of those who are dominated. No matter how strong one is, in the end it is the same for a person who chooses to surrender.”
Crack!
Jang Il-so’s rings were rubbing roughly.
“So what kind of person are you?”
Danjagang, who was listening to Jang Ilso’s words, laughed quietly.
‘Because I am a person who is not dominated…’
He then slowly shook his head.
“You don’t know.”
“….”
“You don’t know either. You don’t have the answer I want. No… you might not get an answer from anyone in the world.”
A dejected voice came out from Danjagang’s mouth.
“Not being dominated. overcome “I resist.”
The longer he muttered, the more his face became distorted.
“That is something that only those who have never encountered true fear, true greatness, or true divinity can say.”
Black demonic energy flowed out from under Danjagang’s feet. A darkness so thick that it seemed not of this world began to engulf his toes and spin around him.
“Still, if you’re going to say something like that…”
Whiiiiiiiing!
The demonic energy released by Danjagang spun faster and faster and soon turned into a huge whirlpool that writhed violently.
“I will tell you.”
Danjagang’s voice also gradually became rougher. His eyes glowed with an extremely dark blood-red glow.
“What true despair is!”
Quaaaaaaa!
Black magic energy soared high into the sky like a black dragon.
Finally, a howl like the devil of hell burst out of Danjagang’s mouth as he threw himself into madness. It was an overwhelming and shocking sight.
The world began to be colored with fear in front of the formidable demonic feast.
