Episode 84

27. A story I didn’t know (2)

“Hey, stop…”

A man tied up in the air let out a painful moan.

My whole body is full of bruises, and there isn’t a single spot where I’m sane.

No matter how much demons, if they were subjected to endless torture, their minds could only be destroyed.

“Just kill me… just kill me.”

The pride of the demons was no longer left for them.

It must have been a number of people who had been deduced from the Liberation Front, but in front of the Heretical Judge of Canaan, it was only an extremely fragile life.

Begging for his life has come to an end. Now I’m just begging for death.

In a place filled with the stench of fishy blood and the terrible smell of filth, the Redeemer Yeliya silently gripped the gigantic blade.

🥳-!

Rest came to the two demons who were struggling in pain in an instant.

Without even screaming, they collapsed to the floor. The chains that were restraining him fall to the floor with a sharp sound.

“The trial is over.”

Elijah took off his robe and escaped the prison.

“I have recorded all of the interrogation, so I will hand it over to the Heresy Tribunal.”

The people in robes who were waiting for her words bowed their heads politely.

“Do what you want.”

“Please take care of the rest. Then…”

They were the scavengers of the Heretical Tribunal. When the judgment is executed, the corpse and soiled filth must be cleaned.

No matter how much God’s shadow is, it must not be left unclean.

Still, this interrogation yielded very important information.

Currently, the spies of the Liberation Front are quite infiltrating the inside of Nakwon Island.

Their purpose is to cause internal chaos at Nakwon School and at the same time take charge of rear disturbance in the future all-out war.

Even if the power of the Liberation Front has rapidly declined over the past 300 years, the fact remains that it is still a very dangerous island in Paradise.

‘I have to cooperate with the police department to filter out the spies. Perhaps even among the freshmen, there may be some who have colluded with the Liberation Front.’

Elijah thought as he walked through the dark prison corridors.

Invasion of the Liberation Front was not the only occurrence. It has been a while since he led a large army and invaded.

Other than that, there were guerrilla attacks and provocations every year.

As in this case, the dungeon was put into action, putting students and management personnel at risk.

They even kidnapped the residents of Nakwon Island, including students.

Of course, most of them were stopped by the Heresy Tribunal and the Police Department.

There is no denying that their threat is visible and has become increasingly serious.

“It might not be bad to issue a special interrogation period during this vacation…”

The title of substitute given to Elijah. Its significance was considerable.

The priests who belonged to the temple of Canaan, below the bishop’s level, had to obey her instructions absolutely, and even such high-ranking officials cannot havetily oppose the substitute.

Of course, her interference in student life or the operation of Paradise Island was a matter separate from authority.

As long as there is a clear reason for ‘finding spies’, the leadership of Nakwon Island cannot simply ignore their opinions.

“I’ll have to meet the general manager and talk about this part.”

After leaving the dungeon and arriving at her office, Yeliya sat down on a chair and sighed deeply.

Even after the interrogation was over, her job as a substitute was from now on.

A report summarizing the relevant contents had to be uploaded to the upper level, and in cooperation with the security leadership, personnel suspected of espionage had to be secured quickly.

‘It’s espionage… … .’

Elijah was in trouble for a moment.

It was just a heart attack, but it was because there was one person she was currently watching.

A few weeks ago, a freshman who defeated Arachne, a candidate for commander of the Corps, and Aaron Nortonhale, the prince of the Fallen Earth Fairy, alone at the Golden Mine.

In fact, I had tried to contact him once before.

But for some reason, pressure from Irkan Bradamante, the dean of the Arthur Faculty, came in.

Heard a direct warning not to interfere with his studies, let alone an interview with the person concerned, so he had no choice but to take a step back.

At that time, the corps commander’s certificate was also retrieved, but… … .

I couldn’t understand why Irkan reacted so sensitively.

‘I know that the faculty members are reluctant to judge the heresy, but… … Still, too much protection.’

Either way, it’s a liberation front.

There is no way that Dean Irkan was unaware of the dangers of that organization.

Of course, the idea that Irkhan is helping the Liberation Front is an absurd speculation.

So, Elijah’s eyes were on Baek San-woo, who was the party, not the dean.

‘If in doubt, you should check it yourself.’

Elijah got up from his seat, putting on the robe he had taken off again.

* * *

At first, I was thinking of visiting the dormitory and just chatting lightly.

After all, the semester is almost over, so I can’t say that it interferes with my studies.

Because I was going to express my official thanks for this incident at the level of the Canaanite temple.

Unless there was evidence that Baek San-woo had colluded with the Liberation Front, he was the one who saved Paradise Island from the obvious threat.

It is only natural that the substitute, Elijah, praises the work.

However, the moment she arrived at the dormitory, she found him fully armed and heading somewhere.

The time was very vague for a dungeon attack. There seemed to be no companions.

Wasn’t he the one who held a contest for the entire Paradise School?

It didn’t look like he would go around the dungeon alone because he didn’t have any friends.

‘… … So where are you going?’

The sharp nib of the Redeemer Elijah began to activate.

She maximized the effect of cognitive inhibition given to the robe, and suddenly followed Baek Sanwoo.

The place he arrived was the hero’s haven where Triston’s remains were kept.

“Can I go inside?”

“Oh, yes, come in.”

She carefully watched the Baeksanwoo entering the haven without taking any action.

Soon after, the effect of the robe was removed and he appeared in front of the guards.

“There are a lot of late visitors these days. It will be closed soon, so you have to leave soon.”

Guards who do not even know exactly who the visitors are and pass them over.

Although they were police personnel in charge of security on the island, there was no sense of belonging or responsibility in them.

It was very pathetic, and she presented a proof of her identity.

“Check it out.”

“Uh, what!!”

One of the guards, who realized the meaning of the token, hurriedly knelt down.

He must have been a Canaanite believer.

“What is the shadow of the sacred fire doing here…!”

“I have something to investigate personally. Have you ever had anyone other than the boy who just entered?”

“No, no! We were in tight control!”

The guard responds loudly. However, to Elijah, the appearance was nothing but a trembling.

“Control? What I saw wasn’t control, it was almost neglect. Even now, if I hadn’t shown the proof, I wouldn’t have let them in without knowing who was going in.”

“That’s… ah…”

Perhaps he was speechless, the guard could not offer any more excuses.

“If you keep doing this, it might happen again in the gold mine.”

Besides, this is the place where the body of the great hero Triston was enshrined.

Still, it was a location that was far from the center of the island, so it was a location prone to security gaps.

If a necromancer who was aiming for the corpse infiltrated by any chance, there would be no other way for this kind of security.

“Go straight to the mission. I’ll just skip this time, but if a similar situation is discovered next time, I’ll report it to the Chief of Police immediately.”

“Yes, yep!! I’ll keep that in mind!!!”

Although he was a strong man who was much taller than Elijah, he was helpless in front of her spirit.

Truly a high-ranking judge.

It is something that overwhelms the atmosphere and the audience.

Not knowing what to do, she walked into the haven, leaving behind the sweaty guards.

Still, it didn’t look like he would do anything suspicious in the Hero’s Tomb.

Maybe it was because I didn’t know that I was really here to pay tribute.

I heard that among the rituals of knights, there is a ceremony to pay tribute to the deceased while wearing full armor.

As he was the one who defeated Arachne and Aaron Nortonhale, he might have been a promising knight or samurai family of the Eastern Federation.

By the way.

“…Huh? What?”

They arrived at the place where Triston’s coffin was placed, but no one was there.

There is no trace of even a series of memorial ceremonies.

There were no flowers, incense burners, or anything to pray for the deceased.

‘I didn’t come here to mourn!’

The doubts that remained in her were blooming with certainty.

‘Probably went that way.’

Elijah’s gaze shifted to the other passage.

Barricades were erected to block the passage of people. It was such a weak defense that anyone could get over it if they wanted to.

Exactly what purpose Baeksanwoo headed over there is unknown.

Perhaps the worst-case scenario had to be assumed.

I don’t know what they’re up to here, but it was clear that it wasn’t going to be a simple happening.

‘God, lend me your strength.’

As she concentrated her mind, the holy energy transmitted through her arms rose from her palms.

The power of Canaan granted only to the heretical judges.

It was a holy fire.

‘Should I call support?’

For a moment, she was worried, but she decided that it was the first priority to figure out exactly what was going on.

Even if it’s uncertain, the guards are waiting outside.

If you decide that it is not possible, it will not be too late to leave immediately and ask for support.

“Uh-huh…”

She moved forward cautiously, calming her heart that had begun to pound with tension.

However, let’s put the mana barricade aside and go deeper into the cave.

The remains of a guardian golem lying on one wall stood out.

‘You’re the watchman that Aidan Christopher student defeated.’

At that moment, a sharp metallic sound was heard from somewhere along with a faint scream.

“Ahhh!!!”

cack!!

The main character of the voice was clearly Baek San-woo. Judging by the sharp metallic sound, it looked like they were fighting a battle.

‘How is it going?’

She quickly organized her hair, which was starting to get complicated.

A heretical judge must make a sober judgment at any time and in any situation.

As a shadow of Canaan, who discerns and judges anything that is against the will of God, it is a virtue that should be possessed.

Elijah moved even faster. It completely hides its presence and thoroughly pursues its traces.

As she accelerated, another metallic sound was heard.

‘Maybe the student came to solve the problem.’

He is a person who subdued Arachne and Aaron Nortonhalle and played a significant role in the arrest of spies on the Liberation Front.

Not only does he doubt it, but the possibility that he is alone against the Liberation Front cannot be ruled out.

By the way.

“ah?”

One word that came out of nowhere.

The place where Elijah’s steps stopped was an empty, dead-end passage.

The source of the metallic sound that had been heard a while ago was clear here.

Maybe he used invisible magic or potions?

She raised her hands high and blew out the torch. The pure white light of God purged the darkness of the cave.

But Elijah did not feel any energy. What dwelt in this space was neither magic nor a product of alchemy.

If so, has it been an optical illusion?

She explored the dead-end walls one by one by touching them with her hands.

There was one thing that didn’t feel any different.

There was no other passage in the middle. Therefore, the structure cannot be crossed.

From the shelter where Tristone was buried to this place, it was a phenomenon that she did not fully understand as she had carefully checked with her own two eyes.

so suddenly.

Baeksanwoo disappeared.
