Chapter 334 Kill the Pope (4)
Holy Empire Saint.
An empire that has firmly maintained its position without shaking or collapsing even once among the numerous empires and kingdoms that have been born and disappeared in the long history.
There were many reasons why they were able to maintain their mighty hegemony in the entire continent of Arcadia, but among them, the difference in capabilities of each individual Empire was the biggest reason.
[heel! Hehehe! Doesn’t it hurt anymore?]
[Ugh….. Why do I see so many goblins these days…? Holy Arrow.]
From a child who has just been weaned, to an old man who is struggling to move around. Holy power, a power that can be freely used by all who were born and live in the Saint Empire.
As if the fact that they were blessed by God is not a joke, regardless of age, gender, or occupation, everyone has reached a level where they can use the minimum level of divine magic, so the power potential of the Holy Empire is incomparable to any other country. It was mighty.
But…
that fact, at this moment, began to act as a deadly poison that threatened the safety of the empire.
“This can’t be…”
An old man groaned in disbelief.
Even from the outside, he was dressed in an old-fashioned priestly uniform that made it clear that this was not a normal position, and he subconsciously exuded an unapproachable dignity, but he had a face full of fear that did not match his appearance.
“The army of the lofty heavens… how… how…”
he muttered in a trembling voice in disbelief, unable to speak. While I was groaning and standing in a daze on the terrace of a luxurious cathedral overlooking the whole city, a paladin wearing pure white armor ran and shouted urgently.
“Gideon! You must evade it now!”
Saint Gideon, the highest priest of the Empire and holding the title of Cardinal (Bishop).
He shouted in anger at the words of an unknown paladin who was urgently shouting at him that he had to run away immediately as the chief executive who ruled Fatima, one of the eight major cities of the Saint Empire.
“What are you talking about! If we… No, if I run away from here, what should I do with the brothers who are fighting fiercely down there!”
Fatima is a huge city with millions of people.
As one of the key parishes of the Holy Empire, it was a major military hub with a special purpose.
Among those with mighty divine power, only those with excellent physical abilities and qualities are carefully selected, and the divine corps realizes God’s will on this earth and condemns all unclean groups of evil.
Crusader.
Fatima, which played a role in nurturing and nurturing them, was famous for possessing the strongest military power in the Holy Empire, except for Eden. That’s why even in the long history of the saint empire, there was never a history of being captured by the enemy, so Gideon couldn’t hide his embarrassment at the situation he was experiencing for the first time and looked at the bizarre beings flying around the city with fear in his eyes.
[Kee Ee Ee.]
[Kya Ah Ah.]
The beings who have a bizarre appearance that can be seen in hell. The appearance of those who were committing massacres while coiling around the army of the high heavens with strange tentacles, with indescribably terrible appearances, was enough to arouse fear.
“An existence that eats up divine power… what the hell is this…?”
On the outside, they look like monsters from a fallen hell.
Strangely, however, unlike ordinary monsters that take a huge hit with even a little exposure to divine power, they indulge in divine power as if they were ravenous, absorbing everything.
“Quaaaaaaa! help me!”
“Oh God! please! Please… save us…!”
Priests and knights screaming out to God and dying in excruciating pain.
Gideon watched endlessly as the sword and shield that firmly supported the Saint Empire fell helplessly to the unknown monsters. And not long after, he was able to face a being who seemed to be the culprit of all this.
“Are you the cardinal in charge of this city?”
A man wrapped in a black cloth. Gideon was speechless at the question as he was looking at himself with a very ominous-looking purple energy scattered all over his body and his red eyes shining.
“It is reckless! A lowly adventurer, who dares to be rude to anyone…!”
Paladin shouts before he can answer. He looked terrified, but as a knight representing the Holy Empire, he resisted as much as he could.
And the results of that resistance were disastrous.
“Go, my people.”
A man who pointed at him without replying and muttered softly. Then, the unidentified monsters that flew through the sky and devoured all the troops began to attack him like crazy.
[Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
!]
paladin floating in the air, And after a while, he was thrown to the floor, and he was dyed gray and ended his life.
“What the hell… are these monsters…!”
Unidentified beings that devour divine power.
Gideon, who had spent his entire life exploring countless secrets of ancient knowledge, was stunned by this strange phenomenon he had never heard of before, but the mysterious man dealing with these monsters gave a very dry reply.
“They are soul eaters.”
“The Soul Eater…?”
Monsters with unfamiliar names you’ve never heard of.
So Gideon frowned and muttered to himself with an expression of incomprehension, but then he tried to calm himself down and asked another question again.
“So… what the hell do you want?”
A saint empire called the epitome of strength.
Regardless of whoever attacked the Holy Empire, he had been consistent with thorough punishment without mercy, so what he did now was literally pulling out all the nose hairs of a sleeping lion. However, Morse answered that question very calmly.
“The fall of the empire of St. And the death of Pope Amen.”
He clearly declares what he wants.
But at his answer, Gideon instantly put on a bewildered expression, and then laughed as if it was absurd.
“It is absurd. Foolish adventurer, did our Holy Empire… or the power of Eden look so insignificant?”
Heaven, which has been established for a long time, consolidating its enormous influence in Arcadia.
The Saint Empire, which has a direct relationship with the heavens and has been endowed with enormous divinity and power, has created a mighty force. That’s why Gideon shouted as if it were a last-ditch effort with a face full of firm faith and faith.
“Even if I die along with this city, the Holy Empire will not collapse. The Pope! And the apostles who support our empire! I will defeat all of your insignificant retinue and punish you with a righteous god for your crimes!”
Whoops.
After making a curse-like declaration that your plan will never come true, Gideon raises all his divine power and prepares for battle. He solemnly shouted with a spleen face as if he was prepared for death.
“The sword that protects the lofty heavens! I offer my all right here, so please send me an emissary to defeat the evil and cruel being that threatens this continent!”
The mighty divine power possessed as a cardinal.
Pouring out all his strength and throwing all his life force, he sacrificed everything to bring out an existence that was not allowed in this world.
Roaring.
The holy fire began to burn fiercely in the air.
An existence that appeared in the form of a pure white flame with enormous divine power.
Her back, which had the appearance of a beautiful woman, had wings full of four white feathers spreading a powerful presence, revealing her identity.
[This….? What the heck…]
In exchange for the sacrifice of the highest priest, Gideon, Afidel, a high-ranking angel, descended to Arcadia in an intact state, albeit temporarily.
As soon as she was summoned to Arcadia, she became wary of the overwhelming smell of death that emanated from her surroundings and the unknown beings that stimulated her instinctive sense of danger.
“Ha ha ha ha ha.”
Seeing the angel summoned in front of him, Morse put on a dazed expression for a moment, then burst into laughter.
And he started laughing madly, like it was really ironic.
“ha ha ha. Ahahahahahaha! It’s really stupid from start to finish.”
Gideon sacrificed his life to summon a celestial being to stop him.
However, this situation was nothing short of creating the best situation for Morse, to the extent that it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was an industry reward.
“Hah… It’s a quota that even priests and knights can’t fill, but to think of bringing and offering the delicacies like this… It’s to the point of regret not being able to say thank you.”
Gideon lying on the floor, gray. Looking down at him like that, Morse muttered in a mocking tone, and he could hear the maddening screams of his followers.
[Keee Ee!]
[
Kiah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah!
] [Kya Ah Ah Ah Ah!
As Morse began to use them freely, another gift given to him by the death of the beginning, Morse was strengthening his power incomparably faster than when he assassinated each one.
[You… what the hell are you…?]
He looks at himself as if he were a delicious prey. However, in the intense sense of crisis felt instinctively, Afidel asked while lighting a lot of torches all over her body.
Soul Eaters are slowly approaching, aiming for gaps while surrounded on all sides.
Looking at the poor angel surrounded by them, Morse said with a big smile.
“Who am I…?”
Morse, who is trying to fulfill the mission of death in the beginning and realize his own desperate revenge on this land. He gestured to his people and said with a mad smile.
“I am… your death.”
* * *
“I can’t believe it…”
Archangel Michael, an Aspect of lofty glory and ruler of the heavens.
She was horrified to learn the true nature of the great storm raging in Saint Empire.
‘If it’s the death of the beginning… surely my father…?’
The one who was first expelled from this world of Arcadia.
He was abandoned by his father because he had such a dangerous and powerful divinity and mission. Therefore, the fact that the death of the beginning began to struggle to resurrect on this earth and that he chose the heavenly forces as the nourishment for the restoration of divinity, Michael’s expression could not help but become serious.
“Dex-sama, in the Saint Empire right now…”
Michael opened his mouth thinking that he had to convey this as quickly as possible.
However, Jaeyoung nodded as if he knew everything.
“I know. You have to stop the Apostle of Death from rampaging?”
“yes….? How…?”
The death of the beginning of an existence that even Tan, including himself, has never talked about.
Strangely enough, he already knew everything.
[If the death of the beginning is resurrected in this world, the setting of Arcadia itself will have to change according to its unique mission.]
Death, the god in charge of death.
President Lee Mi-yeon strongly warned of the change when he was restored to all divinity and completely resurrected in Arcadia like Vulcanus.
[The blessing of immortality applied to all users will completely disappear.
A single death will lead to the deletion of the character.] President Lee Mi-yeon warns that even if this Arcadia dies just once, the character will be completely deleted, turning it into a hardcore shit manggame boasting an extremely difficult level.
That’s why Jaeyoung had no choice but to agree with her words that Arcadia would perish if this situation was not stopped.
“Anyway, I don’t know what the hell this fucking game was made for?”
unlimited freedom. and endless possibilities.
Seeing that this motto was mentioned and crazy settings were crammed in all over the place and there was nothing to be said for the minimum line, and all responsibility was passed on to the users, Jaeyoung grumbled, but he was looking at himself blankly with a shocked face. He glanced at Michael and said with a strangely apologetic expression.
“I’ll apologize in advance, L.”
“Yeah…? Suddenly, what’s that…?”
Jae-young apologizes out of nowhere.
El responded with a completely incomprehensible expression, and he muttered with a strangely evil smile as if he had thoughts.
“To stop this, I honestly don’t think I can look into your circumstances.”
