The Priest of Corruption Chapter 101

Dacia like a pencil.

Dacia like a pencil.

A piece of flesh that melts like ice. A mixture of blood and flesh, it slowly disappeared through the cracks in the road, as if being sucked into something.

‘killing?!’

Embarrassed, my mother stretched out her small hand to scoop up a handful of liquid, but I quickly reached out and picked her up.

‘killing!!!’

My advice is that you should spread some of that right now. I knew that very well. Because the divinity that the woman’s head harbored was also being sucked in along with that liquid that was being sucked in.

But it was better for me to give up a bit of sanctity than to have my mother dip her hands into such an unknown current.

“it’s okay. mother. Divinity is something that needs to be gathered in another way. It is more difficult for me if my mother touches me here and then gives useless information there.”

Upon hearing my words, my mother stopped her struggle and muttered in a limp voice.

‘Murder…’

I asked Dakia, whose swelling had not subsided as I patted my disappointed mother on the back.

“Are you all right now?”

Dacia nodded slowly and replied.

“It has been fine since before. Just…”

she said in a low voice, clenching her fists and biting her lip.

“I just had to hit that lucky face with magic and put it into it, but I think I held it in for no reason.”

I smiled as I cradled my mother, who had turned into a hand again.

“You should wait for the next opportunity.”

“yes?”

At my answer, Dacia looked at me with a slightly puzzled look.

“No… do you dry it? I thought Priest Marnak would tell us to be patient at least once since we’re brother and sister.”

“Just looking at it, it seemed that the princess’s brother would also be in the mood. It probably won’t be easy to hit even if you sincerely blow magic.”

Dacia shook her head and agreed with my words.

“Well, I can’t easily imagine my brother who acts as if he knows everything in the world, is extremely rude, and has a thick iron plate on his face. Really unlucky.”

She threw an extremely sharp criticism at her brother, then smiled broadly as if she had forgotten it all.

“After cursing coolly, it’s a little better.”

“But when oppa is not around, he always calls me oppa.”

“You can’t call when you’re face to face. When I start talking while calling him oppa, I feel like I’m losing for nothing. For some reason, I feel like I’m admitting that I’m the bottom.”

It was a very subtle difference, but if you felt that way, I, a third party, had nothing to say.

“Is that so?”

“yes! is it so! Then where should we go now?”

“For now, I think we should go in the direction where Tergio and Jamel are.”

“Do you know where you two are?”

I held out my right hand toward Dacia. The display that floated above the back of the black armor covering my right hand showed the number 3 in ancient language and a small arrow.

Most likely, this was Tergio, claiming to be the third knight, sending me a signal about his location.

Dacia, the sorceress, noticed what I was thinking when she read the ancient language floating on my screen. She smiled and said vigorously.

“I must move quickly! Everyone must be very busy right now.”

Apparently, she didn’t think of the case when her other colleagues were easily defeated. In fact, I didn’t think that my teammates would be easily defeated.

If my comrades were easily defeated, it would have been at least by beings with an enormous amount of divinity, like those monsters earlier.

I smiled at Dakia and said.

“Then let’s go…”

The moment I said that, the intangible link between me and the Decaying Giant disappeared. The giant of corruption, voluntarily or unintentionally, returned to the place he came from, for reasons unknown.

“Why are you like that?”

“Please wait a moment.”

I closed my eyes and paid attention to the divinity that shimmered around me. The entire city was already full of divinity that I felt for the first time in my life, but it wasn’t enough to cover the divinity that the half-human, half-horse knight harbored earlier.

does not exist. There was nothing to feel.

Maybe that knight gave up tracking us and went back to his original form. Or is it that they track us down in human form and then try to change again?

We, who ran away, did not know the answer.

“Is that monstrous knight chasing you by any chance?”

“I do not know. I don’t really feel anything. However, since we have already decided what to do, I don’t think it’s a problem to worry about right away. Instead, let’s move a little faster.”

“yes!”

Dakia responded brightly and smiled at me, slightly opening her arms. Seeing that motion, with no intention of moving, I realized what I was saying wrong.

Usually, after I told her to move quickly, I picked her up and moved, so Dakia misunderstood that I would hold her and run again this time.

I smiled bitterly at her and said.

“I think I said something a little wrong. I don’t know what will happen while I cross the city, so I don’t think I can carry the princess like this.”

“ah.”

Understanding my meaning, Dakia’s cheeks turned bright red. She said, avoiding my eyes with her head bowed down, as if she was very embarrassed to open her arms for a hug naturally.

“That’s right. If I’m hugged, Priest Marnak won’t be able to use his hands freely. Heh.”

Dacia patted herself on the cheek and smiled awkwardly.

“I was so excited! Now let’s really start! Was it that way?”

I smiled and nodded.

“yes.”

Dacia and I made our way through the dark alley in the direction the arrow on the back of my right hand pointed. While walking shoulder to shoulder like that, Dakia spoke to me in a small voice.

“Priest Marnak. May I ask you one question…?”

“Don’t hesitate to ask, feel free to ask.”

She glanced at my face and then said again with her gaze straight ahead.

“Well… just like that, just like that a while ago, Priest Marnak, isn’t it a bit bothersome that I naturally depend on Priest Marnak every time?”

“Not at all.”

To put it bluntly, there was no room for Dakia to cause me trouble, but to see her as a nuisance, Dakia was always doing her part diligently.

Besides, she was a woman who knew how to change when she spoke. Since I advised her the day she first ran amok, Dakia had never run out on her own. She always gave me her opinions and asked for my consent, and in that respect there was respect for the people she was walking with.

With respect for respect. In fact, in this world, in most cases, the respect given first is answered with rudeness, so my saving her was both fortunate for Dakia and great luck for me as well.

Because a wizard who answers respect with respect is truly a precious being.

I smiled softly at Dacia.

“As with the last ruin, didn’t Princess Dakia almost die at that time? I wonder if I’ve caused trouble for the Princess every time because of my work…” ”

Absolutely not!!! ah.”

Dacia hurriedly spoke up, but was embarrassed that she had cut me off on her own.

“I didn’t mean to interrupt Priest Marnak on purpose. sorry.”

“I’m really fine, so you don’t have to apologize to me.”

My face was filled with bright golden eyes. Dacia stared at me and gave me a subtle smile. For some reason, a happy yet sad smile.

“Priest Marnak is always kind.”

Her words were followed by a small word that seemed barely audible. ‘It’s a pity that that kindness wasn’t directed only at me,’ was one word.

Soon Dacia spoke to me with a bright smile as if she hadn’t said anything just now.

“right. I made up my mind!”

“What are you talking about?”

She punched her chest with her fist and said vigorously.

“I have decided to leave Beatus with Priest Marnak after this work is over!”

“yes?”

At my question, Dakia looked up at me with a slightly uneasy look.

“Couldn’t that be… can’t it…?”

‘killing!!!’

I yelled at them for trying to sit down on their own without getting my permission. Naturally, that scream did not reach Dakia.

I smiled quietly at Dacia.

“If you follow me, you may have to feel very hard and difficult, and often even threaten your life.”

Dacia smiled and replied.

“But Priest Marnak will always do his best to protect me, right? As always.”

‘Kill!!!’

I continued to speak amidst my mother’s cry to take care of my own body.

“There may be situations that are beyond my reach.”

“Then I can protect myself. Even Priest Marnak knows. How quickly I’ve mastered magic over the years. If I continue to grow like this, maybe someday, Priest Marnak will be protected by me?”

I reached out my hand to her and smiled at Dakia’s boastful words with a smile.

“It is truly an honor to be protected by the princess. Actually, to be honest, I’m still a bit reluctant to see wizards, but I’m always welcome if I’m a wizard colleague with whom I can talk like the princess.”

Dacia looked at my hand with a puzzled look at my acceptance that jumped out so easily, then quickly finished grasping the situation and quickly grabbed my hand and said, “Let me put my hand away.”

“There’s no retrieval later!”

I said with a chuckle.

“You seem to be worrying about everything.”

“And…”

Dacia said in a small voice, lowering her white eyelashes.

“Can’t you just call me Dakia instead of Princess Princess…? I have completely abandoned my lingering attachment to the position of head of household.”

“Let’s think about that a little bit. I’ve already gotten used to being called princess.”

“yes?!”

She shouted at me without hiding her bewildered expression.

“You called me by name when you were in a hurry! Dacia! Dacia! Do it!”

I shrugged and walked a little faster.

“Did I? I can’t remember.”

At my playful voice, Dakia followed me with a horny expression.

“I heard you right! So from now on, please call me Dakia! You know?”

“I will try. Just as the princess said.”

“I want you to call me Dakia!”

***

A street where not even a drop of blood has been splattered.

The streets seen through the gaps in the alleys were extremely clean. As if not even a single life had ever existed.

Both Dakia and I already knew why the streets were so clean.

Just as the people who died in the theater melted and were absorbed into the city without leaving a trace, the citizens who died here must have melted and been absorbed into this city.

Awesome!

And in the middle of that quiet city, a huge silver knight was cutting down the green flesh trees.

Jjiik!!!

With a mouse the size of a human head on top of his head. After tidying up the surroundings, Tergio came towards us at high speed.

– You’re all right, too! Heir!

I responded with a smile to the extremely bright voice and asked cautiously.

“Yes, fortunately nothing happened.”

Oddly enough, the green fleshy trees I encountered on the way here ignored me and Dakia as if they didn’t feel it.

There was only one thing I could guess why.

An unidentified chunk given to Dacia’s older brother Derso Irmel. It was most likely because I had it.

“By the way, where is Jamel? I thought you were with me.”

Terzio replied as if he had been waiting.

– You are with the survivors of the surviving city! I sensed that the Heir was approaching, so I left the seat for a while to meet the Heir!

Before I could say anything, Terzio added quickly.

– Miss Jamel is with the Heir’s other colleagues, so if you’re worried that I might have left Miss Jamel alone, don’t worry at all!

Carmen and Sagittarius are also there. It was a good thing.

“By the way, did you say other survivors?”

– yes! While the Heir was gone, everyone gathered their strength to protect the surviving citizens from those mysterious monsters.

“The four of you must have suffered a lot.”

– yes. Not only us, but the soldiers and knights of Beatus, and even the prince of the Dragon Kingdom all joined forces to protect the citizens from those fleshy trees!

“yes…?”

Dakia asked with a disgusted look at Tergio’s words.

“The name of the prince of the Dragon Kingdom, who is said to have protected that citizen, is not Batis Draco…?”

Terzio answered, looking at Dacia with eyes shining blue.

– Princess Dacia already knows! The name of the prince of the Dragon Kingdom who helped the citizens is Batis Draco!
