045.

Even with Morgus’s death, the other dimension did not disappear.

Still, it wasn’t difficult to join my colleagues.

It was all thanks to the divine power planted by Brat.

“Did I tell you? You won’t get lost.”

I let go of his triumphant words and looked around.

Theat is looking at the floor with her shoulders drooping.

After collecting Bandol’s body, it had been in that state all along.

‘I’ll have to ask later.’

The demon king’s artifact reacted.

This meant that Theat had come into contact with the demon king’s fragments and was under the influence of him.

Any information about the fragments is welcome on my part.

Even one more of them must be eliminated to delay the resurrection of the demon king.

‘Before that, preventing a joint war is the priority.’

I don’t have enough time to become stronger, but I don’t want to suffer from the headache of war.

Anyway, what I gained from preventing this incident was what I gained, but the more I found out, the greater the harvest.

‘If you want to know more about the Demon King, you should stop by the library in Gelea Volcano, one of the 5 forbidden regions.’

The Moon Shaman told me about the location, but to be honest, I don’t expect much.

That’s over three centuries.

It would be a miracle if the library flourished in a volcanic area where volcanic activity takes place without rest.

‘Is it like the addition of the debris investigation through The Art?’

Even ten bodies are not enough.

There’s nothing I can do about this right now, so I’ll have to keep an eye on it.

The Black Clan will do a great job in this regard.

“Are you okay?”

I asked Seira who was approaching.

She looked clearly tired.

From nob le mt l dot com

Just looking at it, I couldn’t help but struggle.

The result was a victory, but looking back, it was not a perfect victory.

“I’m fine, but the damage is great.”

1 group brought by Brat.

They too were dragged to the other side by raiders and suffered all kinds of hardships.

The members, which were about 100, were cut in half.

“Is Lokram okay?”

not okay

I want to lie down on a soft bed and sleep all day.

But you won’t be able to show off on the outside.

He shrugged his shoulders at Seira’s worried question.

“My job was easy because Brat took care of it for me.”

“I did pretty well.”

Brat, who can’t stand it, intervenes in the conversation.

I swallowed a sigh and looked around the expedition.

“How are you going to get out of here?”

“I have something to say about that, but I don’t think I have to say it here. go out at once I will open the way.”

I can go out on my own, but honestly, I’m tired.

I decided to ask for his help this time.

“Let’s go, everyone gather!”

From here and there, they broke through the darkness and gathered here.

Because of their lack of holy power, they are wrapped in bandages and look like defeated soldiers.

However, everyone’s eyes sparkled because they had won.

In particular, the eyes looking at Seira were blatant.

“It seems that you properly exercised your skills in front of them, like a professor at Cain Academy.”

“I am a little embarrassed… .”

Covering my flushed cheeks with her hair, Seira quietly stood beside me.

It’s a very sick thing to keep giving a coy look.

Do you want to take care of my body more than me?

“Then let’s go back. Thank you all for your hard work. The dead must have arrived safely near the god of light through my prayers.”

Brat joined hands and performed a divine technique.

The darkness lifts and the landscape of an uninhabited island is revealed beyond it.

It looks easy at first glance, but it was visible to my eyes.

‘I thought I would open the passage by ignorantly hitting the holy power.’

The sacred art he used was the foundation of the foundations.

Holy light that clears the darkness.

He ignorantly strengthened it with his own divine power and dispersed the established territory.

“Now, leave the personnel checks and situation arrangements to the people to be entrusted with… .”

Brat stretched.

It was as if he had finished a simple exercise, and his expression was refreshing.

“This is also God’s will, so let’s get some rest, right?”

The hero was also a monster.

***

At the point where a week had passed, the Vatican of Baekkyo had an emergency.

“How was the cleaning situation?”

“yes! All floors and bathrooms are now completely cleaned. Now, if you trim all the gardens within a 200m radius of the Holy Son’s office, that’s it.”

The head maid reported to Cardinal Berrickson.

It is still a clean Vatican.

Still, the general cleaning that resumed was a situation where all the managers were put in.

“Do your best. He is a saint who has returned after a long absence. When I think of what he left behind… .”

Berrickson clenched his fists.

He is the closest assistant to the pope.

How many sad things have you had in the meantime?

Of the eight cardinals, he and the saint are the only ones managing the papal court.

The saint left his seat, talking about the oracle, but he has to take on all the work alone.

It was a total mess.

“Even if I manage the complaints of the subjects residing in the imperial capital, they pour out every day, so what would happen if I managed them alone?”

“I-I’m fine… .”

“Look at this!”

Berrickson, overcome with emotion, showed the top of his head.

The core of a typhoon was hanging from her normally thick gray hair.

empty

That was the first impression the head maid felt.

At the same time, I reach out my hand without realizing it.

The slightly smoothed top of the head was smooth.

With that, she came to her senses and hurriedly withdrew her hand.

“hot! Sin, sorry. I don’t know stop… .”

“I am really excited. Anyway, we will do our best to hold the saint back in the Vatican.”

Berrickson, who held the maid’s hand, waved his arm.

“Then fighting!”

“yes yes!”

I wonder if Berrickson, who looked sober, was right.

Although he always showed a cynical reaction to himself with a tired face.

The head maid felt a sense of alienation at the first sight of his energetic appearance.

‘Still, I like that look better.’

Maybe if the saint takes a seat in the Vatican, that kind of appearance will continue.

In this case, it was right to clean harder.

It was time to fight like that.

“Maid?”

Suddenly, a maid approached her and called her.

“Oh, do you have anything else to report?”

“Because of the news I just received. I feel like I have to tell you… .”

“What is it?”

As she was adjusting her clothes, words like thunder from the blue sky pierced her ears.

“This is the news that the Holy Son has entered the audience room.”

“yes?”

The maid shrugged at the raised voice involuntarily.

“No, when! Whoa, what happened?”

In response to her question, which was circumspectly sorted out, the maid answered calmly.

“Just now. He came by teleport.”

“ah… .”

The head maid looked around with a bewildered expression.

few days. No, not even a few days.

The results of the week-long cleaning are visible.

Maybe all of this wasn’t for nothing.

A subtle feeling of uneasiness began to creep in.

Meanwhile, whether they knew this or not, the two people in the audience room were extremely peaceful.

“How have you been while I was gone?”

With the white silk screen between them, the two stared at each other’s shadows.

“Heh heh, seeing as he has a bright voice, it seems that he defeated many Demon Lords while wandering the continent.”

“I’m not hitting you. I just sent it to the side of God. He will punish you.”

“They usually say they killed it.”

“I know. I made a joke.”

“… … .”

In the silence that followed for a moment, Brat laughed awkwardly.

“Did you see the letter I sent you?”

“Yeah, you built an interesting relationship.”

“It is a precious relationship. I thought you were a follower of a cult at first?”

“If the God of Light had heard it, he would have been angry.”

“If you had heard, the oracle would have come down right now.”

Brat tugged at the wrinkled priest’s robe.

“It’s going to be a bit boring from now on, but is it okay if I tell you?”

“Isn’t it about the 5 lords?”

“You know.”

“There is a fragment of the Demon King involved.”

Brat twitched one eyebrow.

“How do you know everything?”

“Do you think you are the only one receiving an oracle?”

“He is also the Pope. So, I will wander the continent once again. I have to dig into the case.”

“It can’t be.”

Chit. Brat asked exaggeratedly, trying to hide his tongue.

“yes?”

“The oracle has come down. Surely you won’t reject the word of the god of light?”

Brat put on a puzzled expression.

“I was planning to do something big with Lokram-nim, but even the God of Light doesn’t care.”

Slowly, he puts his palms together and prays.

Either way, the pope continued.

“They told me to leave the child alone.”

“hmm? Did you really say that?”

“They say that that side can make the world brighter and more beneficial, so shouldn’t we follow God’s will?”

“That is also true. Well then, should I have a desk discussion here too?”

The Pope’s arm, visible in shadow, moved.

It was as if I was stealing a cold sweat from running my forehead.

“It’s tabletop theory… It is a forum for dialogue to make the empire a better place to live.”

“That’s what. Hmmm, I’m a little sorry. There are many similarities to me, so I thought it would be fun to work with Lokram-nim.”

“So where did he say he was going next?”

He strokes his chin and is lost in thought.

Suddenly, Brat snapped his fingers.

“They said they were going west.”

“It’s a mining town.”

“Even when I asked to go to the Vatican together, they refused. So, I just retrieved this without any other choice.”

Brat put his hand into the coin pocket.

I pushed my arm deeply, as if subspace magic had been enchanted.

He took out a corpse from inside and showed it.

“It is the corpse of the Dark Lord. How, will the soul torture begin right away? I have to find out at least one more thing so I can meet with Lokram-sama under the pretext of conveying information.”

“Heh heh, so be it.”

Even if the fire is urgently turned off, residual fire still burns somewhere.

It will grow slowly and grow out of control.

Baegyo had to identify such fires in advance and extinguish them.

This was an unstoppable mission as long as the danger of the demon king’s resurrection was scattered.

“Then, I hope you have a bright day today.”

“May you, saint, have a bright day too. Well, that would be difficult.”

Brat, who tilted his head at the Pope’s meaningful words, left the audience room.

and faced

“Brat. Don’t you have something to say to us?”

“Oh, Cardinal Berrickson. How long has this been?”

“hahahahaha, I will. It’s been almost 4 years. saint.”

Brat smiled brightly at his call, which felt stiff for some reason, and held out his hand.

***

On the terrace of the accommodation in the port city, the salty sea breeze blows incessantly.

I calmly accepted it and stared at what I was holding in my hand.

A white wooden cross.

There is considerable divine power within.

‘It’s almost like a holy relic.’

It was similar to the white sword of condemnation.

Brat, who created these things, told me it was nothing.

‘Will it be okay as a reward? It is a thing called obedience of reverse heaven. It contains the power of my stigma.’

It was the object that drove Bandol to his death and at the same time made him defeat the monarch.

It is an object with the power to defy the fate hanging over the body.

There are many things that belong to that fate, but if applied well, it will be possible to bring Lokram from his days as a barbaric warrior into this body.

“They gave me a decent reward.”

He curled up his lips and pondered over the meaningful words he had said.

The words he said after leaving the plane Morgus created were of the kind that could not be overlooked.

‘His territorial building was not entirely his own. A fragment of the demon king with similar power must have added strength.’

‘I will take responsibility for that part and investigate. I’ll find out where I find out, so please don’t go far away.’

don’t go far

I get goosebumps for some reason when I think of the last word Brat said.

I threw the cross into my inventory and swept my forearm.

“hmm?”

Then, suddenly, my eyes went to Tanma’s book in the corner.

Valik’s hand is contained therein.

That reacted to Theat’s change.

Now, I was going to talk to the black child clan before attaching them as surveillance.

Click.

I went inside and closed the door to the terrace.

A famous hotel in a port city was as spacious as a suite room.

It was just me and Teat in the living room.

“Are your emotions a little off?”

sat in front of him

Theat, who was holding the box containing Bandol’s ashes, nodded slowly.

We can talk slowly now.

Then what did you ask?

As I was organizing my questions, I heard a knock at the door.

As I looked to the side, Seira approached, blowing steam and drying her hair with a towel.

“It has been a long time since the hot water came out. hahahaha, nice Wash Lokram quickly, too.”

“… … .”

There were three of them now occupying the living room.

He naturally sits next to him and finishes drying his hair.

I looked at Seira with a complicated gaze.

She tilted her head with a puzzled expression.
