[Rules of the Cartenon Temple]

First: Worship God.

Second: Praise God.

Third: Prove your faith.

Those who do not abide by this rule will not be able to return alive!

T-ring!

['Itarim's Blessing: Cartenon's Discipline' is activated.]

"Ah!!!" Suddenly, the atmosphere in the chapel changed drastically.

[Little Lord! This aura is from the Itarim!–]

[It's a trap! I think this is!–]

Even before the urgent voices of Beru and Esil, who felt the change, were over...

"Praise the Itarim!"

Wooooo! Woooo!

...Along with Kim Chul's booming voice, bizarre singing voices erupted from the mouths of the Foreign believers in the chapel.

[It seems like a place where non-Foreigners are sacrificed!]

"Worship and Praise!"

"Prove your faith!"

T-ring! T-ring! T-ring!

System messages appeared one after another in front of Suho's eyes.

[Itarim's protection limits the magic power of unbelievers.]

Fwoom!!

An unknown force suppressed Suho's magical power.

[The protection of Itarim permits the use of magic to those who prove their faith.]

[The protection of Itarim grants divine power to those who prove their faith.]

"Kill Vulcan!"

Ahhhhhh!!

At Kim Chul's order, all the Foreign believers focused their attacks on Suho with bright smiles on their faces.

Punch punch punch!

"Haha! Who would have thought that a demon noble would come to my feet!"

"No matter how demon nobles are, if their magical powers are blocked, they are nothing more than sacrifices!!!"

In that moment.

Gah!

Suho's fist suddenly swung around, and the chin of the Foreign priest who had been attacking at the front turned sideways.

Bam!

His body ricocheted backwards far faster than he had come, crashing into the wall.

"!!!" The eyes of the Foreign believers, including Kim Chul, widened at the same time.

[Fitness Lv.7]

There, Suho was smiling, showing his teeth in such an enthusiastic manner. "Now, since I've confirmed that my grandfather isn't among them..."

Fwoom!

Suho clenched his fists and walked forward. He checked the faces of the believers who attacked him one by one as his eyes lit up.

"I'll kill you all first and then ask!"

Woosh!

Suho's new model kicked off the ground and shot forward. No matter how much they tried to block his mana, some of Suho's skills did not consume magic at all. In addition, the stats from the horns of Vulcan were still engraved in his body!

[Effect 'Desire for Destruction': Increases physical damage by 300%.]

Punch punch punch punch!

"?Aaaahhhh!"

The Foreign believers scattered in all directions like autumn leaves.

When Suho started rampaging in earnest, there was nothing to block his path. Kim Chul stepped forward. "Haha! It seems we are struggling quite a bit! As expected of a demon aristocrat, the offerings are very fresh!"

Swishh.

He radiated blue energy from the Star Piece on his forehead and swung his large shield at Suho.

Whoosh- Bang!

Fist and shield collided with each other. A huge shockwave spread out in all directions. Suho and Kim Chul's eyes crossed in the air.

'This is not an ordinary A-rank level!'

'Is this the power of the demon nobles!?' But for a moment he thought. 'I'm going to destroy it!'

Suho's fierce attack followed straight away like a shotgun.

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo!

"Kuh!?!" Kim Chul gritted his teeth and endured all the attacks while swinging his sword with his other hand. Then, Suho immediately grabbed the horn of the Vulcan mounted on his head with both hands and swung it forward.

Kwaaaaang-!

Vulcan's two horns, which returned to sword form in an instant, cut through the air.

'The Ruler's Authority!' The power of a ruler which does not consume mana. Vulcan's horn shot out of Suho's hand.

Slice slice slice slice!

"Oh, no!" Kim Chul widened his eyes and took a step back. Every time he avoided Suho's attack, other Foreign believers were mercilessly hacked to death instead.

"Ah!" The Foreign believers caught in the attack died vomiting blood from their mouths. At that moment, an amazing thing happened.

?Woosh!

The Star Piece embedded in the foreheads of the fallen Foreign believers began to radiate blue energy. The energy that spewed out like that wrapped around the bodies of the Foreign believers and soon created blue flames.

ROAR!

Right after. The blue demon took control of their corpses and raised them up like puppets.

"A Mist Burn?" No, it's similar to Mist Burn, but different. The Foreign believers were only being ruled by the Star Pieces until they died.

"Ah!" The Foreign believers caught in the blue mist flew through the air and started attacking Suho.

[Little Lord! You must attack the Star Piece itself!]

Beru and Esil shouted.

[I think the Star Piece is the medium that connects Itarim and these guys!]

"So it's that kind of priestly concept?" Hearing those words, Suho's eyes lit up. "...Just like me."

In that moment...

[The King of Beasts, the Beast Monarch, licks his lips.]

[The Queen of Bugs, the Plague Monarch raises her eyes.]

[The King of Snow Folk, the Frost Monarch is watching you.]

Even if the magical power was sealed, it had nothing to do with the souls of the monarchs who had already died and wandered the sea after death. Just as the energy of the Itarim, which exists far away in outer space, gives strength to the Foreign cultists through the medium of Star Pieces.

"Come out, Gray. Esil."

Whoosh!!

"GRRRRR!!!" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝙢

At that moment, a huge wolf wrapped in silver suddenly jumped out of Suho's shadow and attacked the Foreign believers.

BITE!

Esil, which was nestled in Vulcan's horn, also jumped out and swung a spear at them.

"Wha- how– did all of a sudden?!!"

When Suho's colleagues suddenly increased, Kim Chul couldn't help but be exasperated.

[Iron, welcome.]

"?!?!?!"

Suddenly, a voice whispered from Kim Chul's back. Kim Chul shuddered and hurriedly looked around, but there was nothing there.

'A ghost?!'

Kim Chul was startled and turned around to correct his posture. But why? 'Welcome?' He wanted to go there, no matter where it was. 'What the hell is this feeling?!' Confused! He was so confused! His subconscious was just delighted with that ghostly voice!

"Rise up everyone! They are few and far between! For the glory of the Itarim!" Kim Chul suppressed his unconsciousness and shouted at the believers as if talking to himself.

"For the Itarim!"

"For the Itarim!"

The followers raised their voices and the strength of their bodies.

"We may die!"

"Even if I live, it's for Itarim!"

"Even if I die, I will become an apostle of the Itarim!"

"Kill Vulcan! If you have the blood of a demon noble, you can make a lot of Star Pieces!"

The Foreign believers that were alive as well as those who had died were ruled by the Star Pieces as they joined forces to attack Suho. Despite the enormous inferiority, Suho smiled. The corner of his mouth rose and he opened his mouth.

"All of you, arise."

I can't use magic, but what does that mean? Shadow Powers are all skills that do not consume mana. (1)

[Use 'Skill: Monarch's Domain'.]

[The stats of shadow soldiers fighting in the shadow of the caster increase by 50%.]

WOOSH!!!

With Suho at the center, his shadow spread out in all directions. And within it, the shadow soldiers following Suho rose up.

"Scatter and destroy the Star Pieces!"

[Yes Master!]

Fwoom!!!

Quay became a single spear faster than anyone else and jumped out and pierced them.

Slice!

Chachachachachak!

"Ahgk!!" As his spear pierced the Star Pieces embedded in the foreheads of the followers, they shattered into blue light dust. Along with that, the energy of the Itarim that dominated them was scattered and their bodies collapsed on the spot.

"Hey, what the hell is this!" Kim Chul, a priest of the Foreign Religion Church who was in charge of them, was greatly embarrassed and confused.

"Oh Itarim! save us! Us... Us... ?"

Incidentally: '... What is this feeling?' Something strange happened. Terribly strange.

The shadow of Suho filled the chapel where the battle was taking place.

The skill, Monarchs's Domain.

From the moment Kim Chul stood in his shadow. For some reason, Kim Chul was barely able to hold back his instinct from running towards Suho and kneeling down.

'Why, why! What the heck! Could it be that the demon noble named Vulcan brainwashed my mind?' If true, it was a truly diabolical ploy!

"Aagh! Trying to bewitch me, a priest who serves God! Do you think I will pass!"

Kim Chul gritted his teeth and charged at Suho. He concentrated his entire body on one point. freewebn(o)vel

BOOM!

"Vulcan! die!"

[Iron.]

"Who are you?!" Again, at the voice of the ghost whispering behind his back, Kim Chul shouted and twisted his body to hit the back. Then, there was a real ghost there! A black shadow.

The ant-like evil spirit was smiling brightly at himself with the cruelest grin.

[Welcome.]

Stab!

"!!!"

That was the last thing Kim Chul saw before he died.

[Hm? Why is this strong guy looking away instead of fighting? Must have been because I was fast.]

Quay tilted his head after having pierced the back of Kim Chul's, smashing the Star Pieces along the way. Beru giggled and looked down at Kim Chul's corpse.

[Iron must have missed the Monarch's realm for so long, Little lord! Come on, Iron, wake up!]

Suho was standing in front of Kim Chul's corpse.

[Shadow extraction may be used on this target.]

'Didn't he say he was my father's soldier?' Maybe that's why, even before Suho came closer, Kim Chul's shadow was shaking. He hadn't even extracted it, but it seemed like it would wake up on its own right now.

"Hmm. Arise?"

[Shadow extraction succeeded.]

?Woosh!

As soon as Suho finished his words, Kim Chul's shadow surged up.

[Ha ha ha ha! I'm back!]

[Kieheek! You're finally back, Iron!]

[Ha ha ha ha! I remembered everything! All my memories are back!]

[Kiehehekekekeek!!]

As soon as he became a shadow soldier, Kim Chul and Beru laughed at each other. He suddenly turned his head to Suho. Kim Chul, who once served Sung Jin-Woo as a shadow soldier, instinctively knew what kind of relationship Suho had with Sung Jin-Woo.

[Young Lord. My new lord...]

It was then–

Zap!

"...!!!" Suho's sensory stat sent an ominous warning. At the same time he turned his head toward it with a frightened expression. Before he knew it, the two eyes of the huge god statue sitting on a chair in front of me were staring at him.

[Be Caref–!]

Before Iron's desperate cry was over, Suho instinctively turned his body to the side. Almost simultaneously, blue rays emanated from both eyes of the statue.

SHING!

The light barely passed by Suho and caused a huge explosion.

VOOOOOOM!

A blue ray of light swept across the area and completely melted the bodies of the Foreign believers there.

"?Aaaaaagh!"

"??Ahh!!"

In the place where the beam passed, only the remains of the Foreign believers remained. The screams came not from them, but from the mouths of other believers who witnessed their end.

"I don't think he is a very merciful god." Suho smirked and looked ahead. The god statue, who personally killed the believers who had prostrated themselves in front of him and prayed, smiled brightly at Suho, cruelly.

[I never thought I would see the Power of the Shadows in a place like this.]

A grotesque echoing voice flowed from the statue's mouth. The emotion felt in that voice was an obvious murderous intent towards Suho, with a distinct appetite, as if he had discovered delicious food right in front of his eyes.

[Ridiculous. Acting so arrogant about killing one priest.]

The statue of Itarim laughed at Suho and opened his mouth.

[However, there are many priests who serve me. Even those who are much stronger than that guy.]

The god statue smiled meaningfully and turned his head. Soon after...

CRACK!

One wall of the chapel was destroyed by the blue rays emitted from the statue of God. A Blue Mist was flowing from the hidden gate beyond.

[Come out, high priest.]

?Woosh!

At those words, a silhouette slowly revealed itself from inside the gate.

[Oh! It can't be!]

Iron, who had just become Suho's shadow soldier, suddenly recalled memories from his past life and shouted at Suho.

[Greed! The high priest of the Foreign Religious Church is the S-rank villain Hwang Dong-Soo!]

"!!!" At those words, Suho and Beru's expressions hardened. Why did Hwang Dong-Soo appear here all of a sudden? And as the high priest of the Itarim no less! If the power of the Star Pieces were added to him, who was originally an S-rank awakened, it was clear that the power would be truly enormous.

Clomp... clomp...

[Kuahahaha!]

Together with the statue of God, Hwang Dong-Soo finally appeared at the gate.

However.

"Eh?!"

He didn't walk out on his own.

He was being dragged out by a white-haired grandfather.
