The Priest of Corruption Chapter 224

Igal.

Igal.

downturned silence. A suffocating silence continued without anyone’s mouth opening.

In the silence, it was Pertillo who first parted his lips.

“Dacia Irmel From now on, you have only two choices. Quietly and voluntarily drinking the tea in front of me…”

The man’s red eyes sank. He slowly stretched out his finger and pointed at Dacia’s face.

“To resist, get crushed, then crawl like a dog and lick the tea.”

Dacia quietly put her hand on the handle of her sword and replied.

“Are you capable of that?”

“It’s full of garage.”

She glared at Fertilho with cold eyes. Dakia touched the handle of the sword and quickly settled the situation.

If I drew my sword and cut that man right away, would I be able to get Pearly back in good shape? Or is it true that the man really ordered Pearly to be cured in the first place?

Concern brought another worry, and the thought did not stop. There was so little information given to her that it was difficult to decide anything in the first place.

“Drink tea. Dacia. If you don’t resist and drink it obediently, I promise you the best treatment.”

“ha.”

Dacia let out a deep sigh as she slowly wiped her face. Soon she looked at Fertillo with tired eyes.

“Can you really handle it?”

“I don’t have to bear anything. After this night, you will voluntarily follow me.”

“If something happens to me, Priest Marnak will not leave you alone.”

“Marnak? Who is that?”

He replied as if it was a name he had never heard of. Dacia felt a subtle sense of incongruity in that answer.

“Did you dare to do this with intelligence that did not even know the names of my party?”

“It’s an area where I don’t need to know about one or two trivial names. There’s only one thing I’m worried about. It was an escort from the Irmel family who would be attached to you without even knowing it, but seeing that no escort appeared even after such a long time, it seems that there was no such thing in the first place.”

Fertillo slowly raised himself. Only then did Dakia realize that the man who had been burying himself in the chair from the beginning was surprisingly hard and large. The man who stood up looked down at Dakia with a dry expression.

“Drink tea.”

“What did you do with Pearly?”

“It is true that he told me to treat the girl. That purple-haired girl’s face is pretty smooth, so if you just roll it properly after curing it, you’ll be able to pull out more than what went into the treatment.”

“I am fortunate. Although the intent is disgusting.”

“I will tell you one last time.”

A long finger pointed to the teacup in front of Dacia.

“Drink.”

“great.”

Dacia reached over and grabbed the handle of the teacup and, without hesitation, scattered the contents across Fertilho’s face.

Chew!

Fertilho dodges the liquid sprayed on him by taking a sneaky step back. The tea water in the teacup soaked the floor. He looked down at the wet floor and clicked his tongue briefly.

“You’re a beast-like girl who can’t understand words. Since I act like an animal myself, I have no choice but to treat myself like an animal.”

“Fuck you!”

bang!

Dacia kicked the table in front of her as she stood up. The floating table blocked Fertilho’s vision for a moment. Unfazed, he took a half step to the side and avoided the table.

“Haap!”

Aiming for that small gap, Dakia stabbed her sword fiercely.

Caang!!!

A clear metallic sound resounding. Dacia’s blade bounced upward. Realizing that the ambush had failed, she quickly distanced herself from Fertilho.

What struck Dacia’s sword was a very thin and long rapier.

Fertilho frowned as he put one foot back half a step back.

“Don’t you understand why I confronted you without an escort?”

Dakia didn’t answer Katabuta. All her nerves were focused on calculating how to knock the man in front of her.

The pointed tip of the rapier aimed precisely at Dacia’s neck.

“Because I can take down at least one girl like you by myself.”

“I don’t like all of them, but I do like one thing.”

Dacia caught the shaking of the tip of the sword.

“I knew you would take Pearly hostage and scare me.”

“I don’t need to do that, so what am I going to do…”

A low murmur. The magical energy fluctuated with the wind of Dacia. Dacia spread her left hand lightly, and bright yellow flames that bloomed along the trajectory shone brightly. Like that, the stream of fire became a sharp arrow, cutting through the air and shooting straight at Fertilho.

“This bitch!!!”

He quickly swung the coat he was wearing and slashed the flames in front of him. The direction of the force was bent, and the flames were thrown to the floor and rose like a fountain.

Sparks scattered and falling. When Fertillo turned his head to look at the place where Dacia was standing, Dacia had already run away and disappeared.

He gritted his teeth and growled lowly.

“Damn you bitch! You dare to cut me off. This must be a proper education after a long time.”

***

Dacia ran down the hallway.

If we wanted to fight, we could fight. However, as a result of considering various things, I decided that I would not be able to subdue the man named Fertillo, who seemed to be in good shape, without getting hurt.

In particular, Dakia knew better than anyone else that her swordsmanship skills were a little lacking to block all of the swords that were made for stabbing.

It was clear that if he was stabbed even once, it would be a waste to rescue Pearly from this mansion full of enemies and run away with him.

‘Where the hell is Pearly?’

information. information was needed. Fortunately, Dacia knew where the people most likely to know the information she needed were.

The light of a lantern shimmering in the distance.

There, a maid passed quietly down the hallway.

‘As expected, it was good that you guided me and kept an eye on where I was going.’

Dacia rushed forward, grabbed the maid, and thrust the sword at her neck.

“As long as you answer the questions properly, you won’t get hurt.”

“yes.”

A surprisingly straightforward answer. Dacia quickly continued talking.

“Have you seen the woman with purple hair who was brought to this mansion with a lot of injuries today?”

“yes.”

“Where is she now?”

“I am being treated in a room on the second floor.”

After considering several circumstances, Dacia gave a short answer.

“Where is it?”

“I will guide you directly. Could you please let go for a moment?”

Dakia’s tone was so calm that she was confused for a moment whether it was true that she was holding a sword and intimidating this woman. When Dakia, overcome with momentum, let go of her hand holding the maid, she tidied up her disheveled clothes for a moment and then slowly walked forward.

“Follow me.”

Dacia walked behind the maid, remaining vigilant.

“How do I trust you?”

“I won’t stop you if you’re thinking of going through the rooms one by one yourself.”

“Why are you helping me?”

The maid stood still at the question and tilted her head.

“Are you threatening me with a sword?”

“…”

In the uncomfortable silence, the maid took another step. She crossed the silent hallway at a speed that was neither fast nor slow. After climbing the stairs and reaching the second floor, the maid guided Dakia to a room.

“This is it. Shall I open the door for you?”

“Please.”

profit.

When the maid opened the door, Dacia jumped in at once, straining herself to subdue those in the room.

The door opened and Dacia was greeted by Pertillo, who was burying herself in a chair. He looked at Dakia quietly with deep eyes.

“I’d rather call this stupid than naive.”

Before I knew it, the maid who had approached Fertillo’s side captured her master with sparkling eyes.

“Master, I led your enemy here. Give me a reward.”

Like a dog, she said ‘Bee’ and stuck out her tongue. Fertillo stretched out his finger and touched the woman’s thick tongue, laughing.

“Girls are supposed to be like this.”

He tickled the maid’s tongue a few times, then took a small pill from his pocket and placed it on her tongue. The maid still stuck her tongue out and her eyes sparkled like a well-trained dog.

“You can eat it.”

“Nyehe!”

Pronunciation muffled due to sticking out tongue. As soon as permission was granted, the maid swallowed the pill as if she had waited and shuddered.

Fertilho wiped the saliva from his fingers with a handkerchief he took out of his bosom. He threw the handkerchief he had wiped off at the maid and turned to Dacia.

“You came back to me on your own feet. How was it? What is the taste of the hope you had for a while?”

Dacia glanced at the maid, who was still trembling, and answered.

“Are there only drug addicts like that in this mansion?”

“No matter how many times you run away, you will never be able to find the purple-haired woman who was captured first without my permission.”

In the midst of the futile conversation, Dakia realized.

“I really can’t help it. Really.”

“Finally…”

Dakia kicked off first. Dacia’s sword, which closed the gap in an instant, drew a straight line.

Caang!

As if waiting, Fertillo fired his rapier and struck Dacia’s sword. no i didn’t want to knock it off

round and round

In an instant, the tip of Dacia’s sword climbed the rapier’s blade like a living snake. The sword, which rode and rotated like a serpent constricting its prey, bent the rapier’s trajectory and pushed it out.

Fertillo’s sword was completely pushed back. A large natural gap. Dacia cut the gap exactly.

Red blood splattered along the long cut.

Dacia did not stop by cutting off Fertilho’s chest. Without hesitation, she thrust her sword and stabbed Fertilho in the right shoulder.

hooked

As the blade was pulled out, new drops of blood soaked the floor. Dacia chuckled as she pushed the blade of her sword into Fertillo’s throat.

“The lessons I learned from Mr. Pridja are working better than I thought.”

She continued, slashing Pertillo’s throat with her sword.

“Tell me where Pearly is right now. If you don’t answer quickly, I’ll kill you and search every room myself.”

aww

“…dare.”

Fertillo’s pupils constantly swelled and turned red.

“dare!!!”

Realizing that the situation was going strangely, Dakia drew her sword without hesitation.

hooked

The blade of the sword that was going to slash his throat locked in as if it had failed while cutting very tough meat. Even the whites disappeared, and grotesque eyes completely covered in crimson stared at Dakia.

“How dare you hurt and intimidate me! You cheeky bitch!!!”

Fertillo swung his right hand. Dacia pulled out the sword stuck in his throat and blocked the fist.

bang!

The fist was blocked, but Dakia’s body was lifted up by the force contained in it and slammed into the wall.

Dakia quickly rolled off the floor and stood up, and before she knew it, a pair of wings sprouted from the back of the man.

Enveloped wings and sharp fangs. monochromatic eyes. The vivid shape of the bat made Dakia realize that the man was not human.

“Beast people?”

no that didn’t make sense Except for the dragons, no beasts could perfectly imitate humans. Beast races that took human form had to have noticeable external features wherever they were located.

Fertillo growled as he picked up his sword that had fallen to the floor.

“Four years have crossed a line that should not be crossed. From now on, I will carve a lesson into your stupid brain myself.”

bang!

Fertillo jumped out of his seat and threw his rapier at Dacia. Dacia pointed her sword at the rapier approaching straight ahead.

A gently curving trajectory. The trajectory climbed the rapier like a snake once again.

However, the results were different.

The difference in power between the two swords was too great. Fertillo’s sharp blade pierced the soft fabric without a single inch of movement.

hooked

“Kuk.”

Dakia’s shoulder was pierced by the sharp blade. Before Dacia could groan and spit out, unreasonable violence kicked her in the stomach.

For a moment, Dakia’s mind was blown away by the shock so intense. The first thing she saw when she finally regained consciousness was the broken wall of the room.

The pain she had been putting off for a while hit her body following the realization that she had gone through the wall and was stuck in the hallway. Dacia let out a silent scream.

His whole body, except for his left arm, was not moving well, probably because it was broken somewhere. Even his left arm, which was able to move at least, was pierced once in the shoulder, so his wriggling was limited.

Dakia had no choice but to bite her teeth at the unbearable pain.

Fertilho moved slowly and approached Dacia.

“It will make you regret for the rest of your life for rejecting Kwonju and choosing Punishment. You will have to bark for the rest of your life, except when I allow you to.”

Dacia’s lips trembled weakly.

“…song.”

Fertillo slowly lowered his head, grabbed Dacia by the neck, and lifted her up.

“It’s too late to beg now.”

Tears naturally welled up in pain flowed down Dakia’s eyes.

“sorry. Priest Marnak.”

The magic power fluctuated. The fluctuating mana soon turned into sparks and wrapped around Dakia’s left arm. Fertillo threw Dacia to the floor without hesitation and widened the distance.

“You’re struggling to the end.”

Dacia moved her left arm with all her might. The sparks that bloomed splendidly flew with her arm as the aiming point.

Perong!

The flames that penetrated the ceiling disappeared in an instant.

Fertillo laughed.

“I am standing here. girl.”

flash

A bright light briefly illuminated the dark night sky and then disappeared. After confirming the light, Dakia’s head bent to the floor and fell. Fertillo clicked his tongue as he looked down at Dacia, who had completely lost his mind.

“It would be difficult if I died, so I have no choice but to postpone education until the next opportunity.”

As Fertillo stretched out his hand toward the fallen Dacia, he heard the sound of something breaking.

Quaang!!!

As soon as he backed away, the ceiling shattered and something pure white crashed down in front of his eyes. As the dust that bloomed in the wreckage settled, what Pertillo could see was a crouching priest.

The man in the pure white priestly uniform quietly stretched his finger toward Dakia’s neck. His fingers trembled constantly as he reached out towards the bloodied Dacia.

The trembling stopped only when he found a faint pulsation through Dacia’s skin.

“ha.”

After a brief sigh of relief, the priest muttered softly.

“Please help mother.”

A dim dark green light flowed out and took on the shape of a human. The Corruption Mother quietly breathed her protection into Dakia’s body to prevent her wounds from getting worse.

The priest, who slowly got up, turned around and looked at Fertillo.

In the pupils of Marnak staring at him, a dark green concentrate shimmered wildly.

“Are you?
