Chapter 962 – 962. Rainbow Fruit
We left the castle to find and kill the lord.
I didn’t know the lord’s location, but Colman knew where the lord washeheard that he caught and interrogated heresy among the servants in the castle.
It was the butler and the guys who ate the blows. There were roughly 10 of them, and at the end of the interrogation, I found out the information that the lord was living in a mountain behind the city.
Crowds of up to 50 people marched proudly through the city streets. The eyes of the townsfolk naturally gathered here.
“For a moment.”
Coleman, who was walking in the lead, stopped. 50 people stopped at the same time. The Paladins acted quickly as if they were familiar with this. Coleman grabbed the man he was pointing at.
“I sense signs of heresy in you.”
“No! I am not a heretic!”
“If you check it, you will know. Peel it off.”
The Paladins took off the man’s clothes.
I swallowed a blank laugh. Anyway, can I catch passers-by in broad daylight and strip them naked in the street?
I looked around. Everyone is just looking at it as if it were natural.
‘It seems to work. Heretic Questioner… It’s fucking power….’
The man who had been forcibly stripped of his clothes and was naked suddenly let out a scream.
“There is a dirty mark under the left armpit. Die, Ethan.”
Coleman’s holy mace dealt with another heresy. The Paladins set fire to the corpse of Ethan and burned it.
“Branch.”
After a small incident, we moved again. The knights and soldiers seemed a little frightened by Coleman’s behavior.
I moved closer to Colman.
“How did you know he was a heretic? Do you have any special abilities?”
Coleman’s eyes turned to me. He was somehow kind to me.
“I don’t have such a convenient ability. It’s an experience, to say the least. After finding and killing heretics for a long time, I got a feeling that is hard to explain in words.”
“You are amazing.”
“There are many times when it is convenient.”
After that, I killed 4 heretics in the city and came out of the city.
“Coleman. Are you going to kill the baroness?”
“Well. I haven’t made my decision yet. It depends on what kind of heresy the lord is. If you are above the priest level…. I’d have to kill the entire family. The seeds of evil may have been sown. From the look on your face, it seems you don’t want that.”
“I cannot let the baroness die.”
“So will you stop me? Whoever stops the Heretic Questioner is a heretic. Are you a heretic?”
“Coleman. I am the baroness sword. Every action I commit is the will of the Baroness.”
“…… Go on.”
“I will kill the heretical lord. However, I did not kill heresy.”
“It turns out the baroness killed it. You’re not wrong. All the credit I have for killing heresy belongs to the Goddess…. If you do your best, the baroness will not be accused of heresy.”
“Thank you.”
I found a village on the way to the back mountain.
“… The smell of heresy is vibrating.”
Coleman did not pass through the village. Symbols of the evil god Brahmasen were hidden here and there in the village, and traces of the evil spirit were found on the bodies of the villagers.
“I order in the name of Baroness Levilidy. Kill them all.”
Orders were given to knights and soldiers. They wielded their swords and spears even while looking at the villagers who had not yet become monsters.
“Here is the baby!”
The soldier cried out and brought the baby.
“You’ve understood my order like a piece of cake. Was extermination such a difficult order?”
“Yu, Sir Eugene! Aaaaagh!”
I cut down the soldier and the baby myself.
“This is a baby born in a heretical village. Of course, this baby is also a heretic. Those who show mercy to heretics are also heretics.”
He pointed to the soles of the baby’s feet. The traces of heresy were engraved. The knights and soldiers looked at me with eyes mixed with fear, not respect.
“Awesome. After all, you are a talented person who will become a Heretic Questioner.”
Coleman approached. He recommends the position of Heretic Questioner. If this wasn’t a dungeon, he would have accepted it without hesitation. If you saw the Heretic Questioner’s enormous power and refused to do so, you’re an idiot.
“I am the baroness sword.”
“There is nothing that cannot become the sword of the goddess. We burn the village and the corpse and go into the back mountain.”
“It will be night soon, will you be all right?”
“Heresy must be eradicated from this world as soon as possible.”
I climbed the dark mountain path, relying on a torch.
Found a strange cave. It was a cave where you could smell blood and hear the sounds of animals.
“It is an artificial cave. Did you make an altar? The stench of evil spirits stings my nose. It’s impossible with the power of an ordinary heretical priest. Is there a Black Priest?”
Coleman’s face, which had been calm even when he was massacring the villagers, was hardened.
“What is the Black Priest?”
“These are the ones who commit evil deeds by receiving revelations from evil spirits. Much stronger than normal priests. Above all, the Black Priest practices wicked sorcery and sorcery. Check equipment before entering. The moment he feels sorry for him, he can lose his life.”
Everyone started checking their equipment.
Jo Woo-saeng came to my side.
“Sung Yujin. This could be really dangerous. Coleman. Even though that person has a bad personality, he doesn’t talk nonsense. Maybe I will die here.”
“It doesn’t feel right.”
“We just give up here.”
Jo Woo-sang said.
“Isn’t it a waste to make it this far?”
“It’s a shame. Still, life is the most important thing. Sung Yu-jin is oddly negative. Were you serious about being loyal to the baroness?”
“Do you think so?”
“… It doesn’t look like it from what I saw earlier. Anyway, I’ll stop here.”
“I will continue. Would you like to experience this again?”
Baroness Levilidi came to mind in my mind. Her tender cunt fascinated me. Even if it’s meaningless, I can’t casually throw away the pussy I like.
“It is only possible through experience. It’s not worth the risk. I will quit here.”
Jo Woo-saeng took out a red thread from his pocket and held it up. Zhao Wu Sheng blew mana into his thread. The skein of thread glowed and began to burn. Cho Woo-saeng continued to hold the thread in his hand, as if his hand wasn’t hot at all. Soon a warm light appeared around his body.
“I’m going out, do you have something to say? I will tell you.”
“No. There is not.”
“Let’s have a meal later.”
“I see.”
We made promises that wouldn’t come true. Jo Woo-saeng just disappeared without a trace.
“Are you ready? Now go into their lair.”
“Coleman. Doesn’t it seem like one paladin is missing?”
“Kyung. What nonsense are you talking about?”
“… Sorry. They are all there.”
Colman did not remember Jo Woo-saeng at all. To him, he is the existence that Jo Woo-saeng never had from the beginning.
Pick up the torch and enter the cave. Mana was heavy. The more you walk, the more you feel as if you are being pulled into a muddy swamp.
“… There are four monsters ahead.”
“It’s dark, I can’t see. Hey, you seem to have pretty good eyes.”
“They… Defense!”
Monsters shot bone thorns. Coleman and I put swordsmanship and holy power into our weapons and defeated it without difficulty. The knights are also skilled, so thanks to my warning, they were safe from the surprise attack.
The problem was the soldiers. The monster’s bone spikes pierced the soldier’s humble shield and armour. Three soldiers were unable to withstand the first surprise attack and died instantly.
“Annoying bastards.”
Coleman clicked his tongue and ran forward. Light from the sacred mace illuminated the surroundings.
“I will help too!”
I also ran forward. It was my goal to build up the ball, so I had to be proactive.
The monster, which had been shooting bone spikes, jumped up as I got closer, clung to the ceiling, and fell back toward me.
Used a moment The monster’s fall is slowed down.
“Die, monster!”
My sword pierced its heart faster than the monster’s claws. The monster droops. I couldn’t just kill a monster and stay still. Because the monster right next to me was looking for my life. He drew his sword and struck the monster’s neck. The body of the headless monster continued to move. I cut the monster’s body in half along with the heart.
“It’s great workmanship.”
“I am amazed. Colman shattered the heads of the monsters. But don’t you have to get rid of the heart?”
“I have the protection of the goddess.”
He raised a holy glowing mace. It seems that the holy power blocked the monster’s ability to regenerate.
We went inside The attack of the monsters continued. Soldiers were dying, and among the knights there were casualties.
I felt a sense of deja vu. The monsters I knew weren’t good enough to use the darkness to ambush them to this extent.
“Coleman. There is something strange about the monsters.”
“Because you feel intelligence?”
“Yes. The monsters I know are dumber.”
“It’s because I was trained. The Black Priest can train ordinary monsters. At worst, they can be trained in thousands.”
“It’s like an army, isn’t it?”
“It is as you say. So, the Black Priest must be killed.”
We have reached the end of the cave.
There was an altar in the center, and numerous human corpses were scattered around it. There was no smell of decomposition, even though there was dust on the corpses.
“Damn it…. Did you perform the ritual?”
Coleman’s shoulders drooped. A shadow of despair was visible on his face, which seemed to be as firm as a rock.
“Coleman. What is consciousness?”
Approached him and asked Only Cole, who had been dazed, suddenly came to his senses.
“… It’s human sacrifice. Offering humans to evil spirits and receiving the power of evil spirits. You can receive something other than power…. However….”
Coleman looked around.
“It is a little different from the ritual I know. Usually, in human sacrifice, a person is placed on an altar and the body is cut open and the heart taken out. But when you look at these corpses, there are no wounds on their bodies.”
“Isn’t that another form of human sacrifice?”
“Maybe it’s not human sacrifice. One thing is for sure….”
He turned back His eyes were looking out of the cave.
“Permanent residence. That heretic is not here. That’s the worst. Maybe the city already…. Go to the city right now Prepare to die.”
•••
When we arrived in town, we were stunned.
The city was on fire. Red-hot fire soared into the air all over the city.
People’s screams flowed out of the city. There were a lot of people at the entrance to the castle, but they couldn’t get out of the city because they were blocked by an invisible wall.
“… Evil has consumed the city.”
Coleman, who lamented over the city, then ordered the paladin.
“You go back to the church. And let me know. That evil had spread in Rebilidi. In order to subdue the evil, the Sacred Knights must be dispatched, if not possible.”
“I will follow Coleman’s orders. Coleman… What do you plan to do?”
“The Heretic Questioner does not back down in the face of heresy. It is my job to punish heretics.”
It seems that he has already finished his resolution to die. Not today, but a long time ago.
Coleman told me, the knights, and the soldiers.
“You too run away. This place is already hell. I’m not going to tell you to sacrifice with me. He who must live must live.”
The knights and soldiers looked towards the city.
A burning flame, a human trying to escape. Monsters that eat humans. This place was already hell.
“I-I don’t want to die.”
“Insanity is a specification.”
“Aaaaagh!”
Knights and soldiers fled. Coleman looked at their backs as if it were natural and asked me.
“Aren’t you running away?”
“Didn’t I tell you before? I am the baroness sword. How does the sword escape?”
“Can’t you see the burning castle over there? Face reality. The baroness must be dead.”
“Isn’t the lord responsible for this?”
“Do you think heretics have affection for their families? The things that devour the family and offer them as human sacrifices…. That is a heretic.”
“Then I must go further. I must avenge the baroness.”
He said it calmly, but he was just a step away from rolling his eyes.
‘How dare you touch my woman? She kills them all.’
