Please Stop The Pope-Chapter 78

He hugged me and looked like he was going to self-destruct.

But their wrath didn't reach me at all.

It was a battle that didn't work out in the first place.

[Active Skill Sacrosanct Lv. Max> is activated.] [No unclean energy can invade your sacred domain.]

The light emanating from my body instantly extinguished all demon qi.

As the church grew, the limits of causality were greatly relaxed, and the magi of these minnows could not cope with me.

In the first place, my divine power was given to destroy demons. Rather than performing divine miracles like other priests, it was a force that existed for divine retribution.

For those who have embraced the Magi with their whole body, it can only act as a supreme force, more terrible than extreme poison.

"Did you really think that hiding with a barrier would really hide you?"

I sneered at them and slowly walked forward.

He didn't even have to move against them.

Cheeeee

The bodies of enemies touched by the divine power I exude crumble badly.

Their bodies transformed into Magi flowed down like mud, and the Magi that had been spewing them all over their bodies turned to ashes.

It took less than a minute to clear out all the guys waiting on the first floor.

I made my way through the mud and ash hall and made my way to the stairs.

The second and third floors were just a gimmick.

"How much of the underground have you dug these bastards?"

Magi was coming up from the depths of the underground.

Kyaa

A roar echoed from below, and soon a two-headed demon emerged from the darkness of the underground.

Hellhound, a dog with a red body.

In this place where there was no gate, the appearance of a demon beast means that someone had summoned it by offering an offering.

"That's the son of an."

In Eden, he has captured countless beasts. Hellhound came out with a bang, but as soon as he faced me, he shuddered and stepped back.

It was the result of the passive skill I had acquired from slaying the Demon Beasts, called the Demon Beast's Natural Enemy >.

I continued down, lightly popping the hearts of the frightened hellhounds.

And after a while.

"Is that you?"

He was able to face the man who was standing in front of the summoning magic circle with his robe on.

It was strewn around with the corpses of people who might have been used as sacrifices. Behind him was a facility filled with cages, what appeared to be a place to hold people.

The good news is that there are still people out there who are still alive.

I didn't expect such a thing to happen openly on the soil of the Republic of Korea.

Was he sure he wouldn't get caught?

And I'm convinced by this.

"This was the altar. Isn't it?"

This is the place called the 'altar' that Lee Se-hee mentioned.

At first, I wondered what that meant, but "altar" literally meant "altar."

A place of offerings.

I looked at the robe-clad bastard and let out a light breath.

The tip of my nose smelled like blood, and I smelled rotten. And the source of the rotten mine was a robe-clad guy.

Thanks to this, it was easy to recognize his identity.

"Rich."

"The plan of the Great One has already been accomplished. Slave of God. You're a step too late this time. 』

The gnome's unrobed appearance was clearly human, but its nature as an undead was not hidden.

A sinister voice vibrates the air.

Rich.

It was unmistakably a lich.

Thinking of the one who attacked the Ministry of Talent Management last time, I thought that the other branches were also in charge of humans.

But that was just my mistake.

I didn't expect the Lich in human disguise to still exist.

"It's hard to catch them and extract information from them."

By the time I got here, I had planned to take the branch president alive and extract information from him.

But now that things have turned out like this, I feel like I'm going to have to give up trying to extract meaningful information.

"Are the undead made in China now? Anyway, you can't look good at me if I really want to be nice to you."

"Our Plan ...... Reality"

"I didn't ask."

There was nothing more to hear.

I lunged at Lich and grabbed him by the neck.

As my divine power touched, its human mask was removed, revealing a skeleton with a green glow.

If you spill the divine power, it will disappear immediately.

Unlike the Lich at Gurogu Gate, he didn't even show any resistance.

Instead, he makes eye contact with me and makes a soft voice.

"Unlike that world, you are the only one who can stop us in this world. Isn't it a situation where even the bloody Limen you serve can't help you?"

He recognizes me.

That means this guy also came from Eden.

He looked down at me mockingly.

"Hate is rampant in this world. What a wonderful world in His eyes. Will the mortals here be able to fight together? Although we were defeated in Eden, the Black Pope. Your world will eventually fall apart. 』

A voice full of curses.

I looked up at Richie, who was speaking incessantly.

"Richie's an unusually talkative bastard."

"Suffocate in helplessness. The last thing that suits you when you're alone-"

Passss

Channeling the divine power, Lich's body collapsed from head to head.

It turned to ashes before it could even scream, and I frowned as I brushed the black ash off my gloves.

"Who's the only one, on the subject of a skull."

He knew he couldn't get in touch with Limen. If so, is it their fault that they can't get in touch with Limen now?

My mind began to get complicated.

But I didn't have time to think about it.

Gurgur!

Is it because of Lich's disappearance? The building, or rather, the ground around which it stood, began to shake violently.

It was a runaway phenomenon caused by the death of the Lich without the Magi being decontaminated.

"You're glad you settled quietly."

There are still survivors here. It couldn't be helped as long as it was like this.

I let out a sigh and spread the divine power in all directions.

I need to save people.

6.

I used my divine power to calm the Magi rampage, and then went straight to check on the survivors in the cage.

The total number of survivors was twelve.

Understandably, their condition was not good. Aside from the physical trauma, they were all mentally traumatized.

How many people can keep their sanity when they see a human being sacrificed in front of their eyes?

In addition, half of the twelve were children. At most, it's about the lower grades of elementary school.

In a way, it was a no-brainer. The purer the soul, the higher the value of the offering, and of course, the purer the soul of a child is rather than that of an adult.

Perhaps these children were sold somewhere.

"Sorry for being late."

All I can do for the half-devastated victims right now is to let them sleep comfortably.

I carefully wrapped my holy power around the trembling victims in the corner.

Then they all fell asleep in silence.

After putting the survivors to sleep for a while, he turned around and returned to the magic circle where the corpses had been sacrificed.

As a result of the ritual, all the corpses that had been inhabited by the Magi were purified.

But there were corpses who died in agony without even closing their eyes. I walked over to them and closed my eyes. He slowly stood up.

"It's quick. I think it's been 10 minutes, didn't I say this is your area?"

Out of the hazy darkness, a group of hunters emerged.

The Hunters I saw in the outer area were wearing Hive Guild armbands.

They rushed into my floor, with swords, spears, shields, and shields ready to start battle at any moment.

I looked silently at the Hunters in the Hive Guild.

I wonder if they are thinking of killing me, but they don't let go of their guard against me.

But that was only briefly, and soon the man in front of him with his helmet on took it off and stepped forward.

"I'm sorry. It was a code yellow situation, so our team was sensitive. I apologize, Pope Si Woo."

"It's our sphere, isn't it? I thought you would stop by the shrine once, but I was a little disappointed that you didn't come. It's nice to see you again, but the place is bad."

Oh Junwoo.

An S-class hunter from the Hive Guild whom Luna met at the Wolmido Gate when she first crossed over to Earth.

I still remember the fierce face on Luna's face.

He stared blankly at Luna until she left the scene, right?

Thanks to this person, I was able to get out of the scene well, so it was memorable.

"But...... Oh Junwoo, the rest of your team seems to have a different idea, don't you?"

I said, pointing to the Hunters behind him, still pointing their weapons at him.

"Captain. Code yellow, you must follow the order. All survivors ....... terminated by order from above."

Quaaaaaaa

"I'm sorry, Siu, our team is running out of new members. Thank you for your understanding."

Oh Junwoo said as he punched his teammate, who had been teasing his mouth just a moment ago.

The teammate who was struck by Oh Jun-woo was knocked to the wall, and the other teammates hurriedly took away their weapons.

"He's a very strict boss."

"I saved his life."

"I was willing to compromise with you by one arm, even if it was just to look at Junwoo's face."

"Thank you for your understanding."

"By the way, I think you said you were ordered to kill all the survivors, did I mishear?"

At my question, Oh smiled and nodded.

"Code Yellow. It refers to when a catastrophic pollution has occurred. What the rookie said was a case of assuming the worst, worst."

"The worst?"

"Sometimes there are villains who use the player's abilities to research deadly germs or viruses. A last resort to curb the spread of pollution...... I think you can think of it that way."

There was no certainty on Oh Junwoo's face as he said that. Rather, his face is full of regret and skepticism.

The last time we met in Wolmido, he was full of confidence, but there was no confidence in his face now.

I stared at his face in silence for a moment. He said in a low voice.

"You don't ask me what happened. If you're like me, you'd be curious and ask right away...... Or."

Slowly, he approached Oh Junwoo.

She placed her hand on his shoulder and whispered quietly:

"Do you already know something?"

No matter how secretive the Purifiers were, they would still be collecting offerings.

This is the home ground of the Hive Guild.

Did they really know anything?

"Mr. Junwoo."

“…… Yes, Pope."

"If it hadn't been for Junwoo's expression now, my attitude might have changed."

Oh Junwoo clenched his fists as he stared at the corpses on the magic circle.

He clenched his fists so hard that blood was dripping from his hands.

I looked at him and said in a low voice.

"I've already called the Department of Intelligence. We'll take care of this place. So Junwoo should go back."

"But......."

"He looks like he's worried. Can I give you a piece of advice?"

There was no blood on his hands yet.

Oh Joon-woo is not a bad person.

It's just that circumstances are leading him to be a bad person. If he had really been a man enough to be called a wicked >, the will of destruction would have been activated.

The reason why Luna was so sympathetic to Oh Junwoo at that time was because Luna instinctively grasped this person's humanity. Luna has that kind of ability.

That's why I'm going to give him a chance.

"People get sick when they don't say what they want to say. Such a disease cannot be easily cured by our Limen. You have to say what you want to say, don't you?"

"Pope."

"The proposal we made last time is still valid. When you have time, stop by the shrine. Let's have a good talk then."

Did he understand what I meant?

Oh Junwoo replied with a heavy nodding of his head.

"Advice, thank you."

"No problem."

Collapse always begins with a small crack.

Just like right now.

I let out a small breath as I looked at his face.

Will he do what I want?

Please stop our Pope
