Episode 439. The world is changing catastrophically (2)
after the Tower of Trials appears. The world has changed.
This is because the existing laws and customs could no longer represent the new world.
The power of the awakened players increased day by day. The power of the government to stop him was diminishing day by day.
…the result is this.
Upon learning of the existence of a new world, the Vatican attempted a radical transformation.
Based on the existing strong social foundation and capital power, it began to grow at a tremendous speed.
He interrogated cultists mercilessly. Through communication with Eden, a number of paladins were produced.
That’s why in a short period of time, even large guilds have grown into a huge force that is hard to ignore.
In particular, the players called ‘Heretic Questioner’ were all rankers who were selected as apostles of ‘Eden’.
“Miss Teresa.”
The crest symbolizing the new Vatican.
“This is the cardinal’s order to summon him to the Vatican immediately.”
Regarding the work on the 29th floor…
…a hearing was held to ask for responsibility for the sacrifice.
“You’d better follow me quietly.”
“Unless you want a fuss.”
number three.
Faintly raising divine power would be a kind of armed demonstration.
The noisy guests were quickly kicked out.
The entourage from the Vatican had completely quarantined the cafe.
“I-I…”
Theresa stammered, troubled.
As long as the Rosenberg family is involved, the subpoena cannot be ignored. It was because it was on the European side that not only who would be in the family, but also where Teresa herself officially belonged.
However, if you followed it obediently, it was hard to see anything good.
Because no one could be sure what would happen inside the Vatican, which is recognized as extraterritorial.
Took!
The sword sheath hit the Heretic Questioner’s chest.
“Who do you want to take with you?”
Chun Yuseong poured out cold energy.
“You’re the famous Cheon Yoo-seong player. I’m sure… I heard
that you have a pretty temper…”
“Hmm. Now, do you mean that outsiders will interfere in the affairs of the Vatican?”
“An outsider? Teresa is also one of our members.”
“Putting a holy cause and a mere guild on the same line… Sinners, indeed. People like you are so consistent. I’m not surprised anymore.”
The Heretic Questioner said as if he knew that.
The other two also added one word at a time.
“If it gets in the way, it will be a problem at the national level. Just because it’s a large guild won’t be able to fight against the whole country, right?”
“Besides, I’m sure you all know how dangerous it is to touch Eden. Especially since Teresa-san will be in a lot of trouble on the upcoming 30th floor.”
Players who are fully supported by Eden.
In particular, the heretic inquisitors, composed of apostles, even possessed the holy relics possessed by each angel.
If this is the case, it will be more than enough to make up for the shortcomings of the late start.
This is the reason why the Heretic Questioners are afraid.
but.
It wasn’t a corporation with a dead figure that would make such threats work.
“I know there are those winged ones behind you. So, what does that mean? Do you want me to put on a frightened face?”
Sreung!
Chun Youseong drew his sword.
“Geeoi…”
“If you want, I’ll deal with you.”
The other side also took out their weapons.
In an instant, the atmosphere froze.
The hahahoho laughs are nowhere to be heard. A breathtaking battle of nerves unfolded among the top rankers.
Right then.
“Stop shaking and sit down. Don’t ignorantly try to wield a knife.”
Jinhyuk smiled brightly.
“…”
Chun Youseong flinched and inserted the sword.
It was a bonus to sit in a small place.
Because he knew better than anyone what that smile meant.
On the other hand, the Heretic Questioners did not listen to Jinhyeok’s warning. “What
about
the conversation now…”
…I guess this is what it’s like not to be able to put it in detail.
“Haa…”
The smile disappeared from Jinhyeok’s expression.
In an instant, a tremendous amount of magic power pressed down around the table.
“I told you to sit down.”
Cuckoo coo!
“Gagging…?”
“Turn off ….”
Pressure beyond imagination.
It is like the first time you encounter an angel who has manifested itself.
However, it was the hounds belonging to the Vatican who did not care even if they knew they would die.
“This, this thing!”
“We are the apostles chosen by the angels!”
Parts!
[‘Onoma’s stigma’ is activated!] A
dazzling brilliance dwelled on the 70cm long sword reminiscent of a cross.
An authority used by the higher angels of Eden.
It is ‘Onoma’s stigma’.
This power, much higher than ordinary divine power, had the effect of blowing away the opponent’s magical power when hit.
In other words, the more you hit them, the stronger they become.
Jinhyeok sent the sword that came out horizontally.
“If you have to be beaten to come to your senses…” I had no
choice but to step on it very properly.
light.
fast.
Jinhyeok, who moved with the minimum amount of motion, slammed his fist.
Quaang!
It was hard to believe that he was simply swinging his fist.
The table shattered and the person was pinned to the floor.
It could be said that it was almost simultaneous.
The handle of Hongryeon dug into the chest of another Heretic Questioner coming from behind.
Pugak!
“Kwaaaak!”
The pain of breaking ribs.
The heretic inquisitors, who said they were long, collapsed without being able to resist properly.
I never thought that Onoma’s stigmata, which boasted of his killer skills, would be so helpless.
“…It’s on a different level than what we saw in the video. Indeed, not everyone wants to make them enemies.”
The last remaining blond man let out a small sigh.
“I don’t know why you’re overdoing it when you know it well. Is belief more important than 12 weeks of transposition?”
“You’ll never know, even if it takes your whole life. What weight God’s will carries. What we can do for that. Everything.”
“Actually, I don’t even want to understand.”
Jinhyeok took his stance again.
Since the water had already been spilled, I planned to subdue the opponent at once and wait for Han Sang-jin to come.
No matter how strong the Vatican’s influence is, it will be enough if this side also responds at the national level.
Even if the government took a stance that it was difficult, it could have covered this matter with just the name of the Goinmul Corporation.
Even if forced.
As much as that, the Goinmul Corporation was in a position that even the great powers could not do anything about.
‘but. Who would touch the hive other than these fanatics?’
The situation has already been sorted out with the remaining large guilds.
These guys were the only ones who couldn’t figure out the subject properly.
Whoops!
A golden flash burned through the man’s sword.
As a leader, his energy is incomparable to those he dealt with earlier.
Even the tangible golden magic began to flow so naturally.
No…
that’s a bit harsh, isn’t it?
How is it possible for humans to develop stigmata of such high purity?
something is a little strange
It didn’t make sense for even an apostle to have such sensitivity.
Jinhyeok activated ‘Eye of Gluttony’.
Tring!
[Personal Info]
Name: Kenneth
Level: 129
Unique ability: Onoma’s stigma
Skill: ‘Strengthen Divinity’ Lv19 ‘Sacred Regeneration’ Lv18 ‘Power of Solidarity’ Lv18. ‘Guardian of an Angel (Passive)’ Lv17
Copy condition: ‘Nephilim’, a mixed blood of angels and humans, are sacred and cursed at the same time. It is a useful chess piece from Eden’s point of view, but at the same time it is a disgraceful result that I want to hide. A being who is not welcomed anywhere and silently fulfills his duties. In order to copy the Nephilim’s ability, you must convert him.
After looking at the status window, all doubts were answered.
I see. Was that why you were so bold?
‘To see the Nephilim here.’
A mixture of angels and humans.
The Nephilim possessed abilities as rare as their existence.
The alien ability to move outside the tower without any restrictions while being a resident.
Moreover, if the Nephilim were wounded, the angel could directly harm the enemy who wounded them. Touching the Nephilim was tantamount to madness.
It was only now that I understood why the paladins from the Vatican were running amok so recklessly.
With the support of angels as well as the Nephilim who can work outside the tower, of course there is nothing to be afraid of.
‘It’s fun.’
In this case, the story is completely different.
If only the nephilim can be boiled well, the members of the Goinmul Corporation will be able to preoccupy the high ground when they go to the 30th floor.
Insidious thoughts began to fill Jinhyeok’s head again.
* * *
‘Why aren’t you attacking me? Did you just step out without hesitation?’
Kenneth, who was confronting Jinhyeok, tilted his head.
‘I bet he didn’t notice my existence.’
There is no way ordinary humans know about the Nephilim.
Because it was his identity that only the upper echelons of the Vatican and a few Inquisitors knew about.
but.
Seeing Jinhyeok inserting the dagger with a smirk, I couldn’t shake off my uneasy feelings.
Swoop.
Jinhyeok came into Kenneth’s gap.
Kenneth’s thoughts went blank for a moment at his defenseless appearance.
The response to attack was delayed by about 0.1 second.
“Kuk!”
Kenneth belatedly tried to swing his sword.
however.
“Hmm, I didn’t think of this, but was it Nephilim? Somehow, it was a little different. By the way, the guy whose name is Nephilim also points a sword at the archangel’s apostle, right?”
Outrageous words came out of Jinhyuk’s mouth.
“You… how did you…?”
how
“Because I’m real. Otherwise, how would I know who you are?”
The casual words continued.
As far as acting skills go, it has already risen as high as the water, so even looking at a stone and saying it is gold, I was able to convince him.
Not to mention the tone of voice or non-verbal gestures,
but was it because of the usual karma?
The reaction of the people around them was cold.
“There’s absolutely no way that would happen. If you’re in the demon world, you wouldn’t know. Even angels can’t choose you without blinding them.”
“Jinhyeok-ssi… what else are you going to do…”
“The contractor is really great in many ways.”
Even the members of the Goinmul Corporation, who were watching, clucked their tongues.
Sometimes I can’t tell if those kids are on the same side or the enemy.
“I can’t believe… the archangel couldn’t have chosen a cult like you. Never, never…”
Naturally, Kenneth shook his head violently.
But this isn’t an unfounded bravado.
He had a magic word that would make even a pants-off Archangel come running
.
The refined Jinhyeok
muttered
to the air
.
Please.]
A golden status window appeared in front of Jinhyeok and Kenneth.
It was definitely a message that only the archangels of Eden could use.
