Novel The Max Level Hero has Returned! - Chapter 387

Episode 387:

Verdande.

The name was obviously the name of a woman who was from a commoner, was called one of the six beauties, and was once famous for being courted by numerous royalty and aristocrats.

The name Verdande is not an independent name, but it is not without possibility.

At least it would be most effective to ask people who are quite interested in the situation on the continent.

Who else is alive here besides me?

The island has completely evaporated, leaving only black skeletons.

Like the building of the Heretic Inquisition.

The whole sea collapsed with the topography twisted, creating a huge whirlpool that made it impossible to approach from the outside.

Of course, if you can’t come in, you can’t go out either.

Colossus, who had become a corpse, was not even an important person.

Because the princess of the abyss called [Uld], who created this mess through him, was just an obstacle.

Without saying a word, I turned around and entered the building where the Heretic Inquisition was located.

As the blackened traces followed the fingertips, the reddish hands began to turn black.

“There is a basement.”

And not far away, I found a huge underground door that seemed to be made using black rock as raw material.

Because it is a rock that is extremely resistant to high temperature and high pressure, it is not impossible to process it, but it has survived even after being hit by White Nova.

It can’t be that very funny.

Taking out the new spear Longinus, I hit the hinge part of the door strongly using its weight and cut the misaligned ones with the Hongdan blade as soon as they were broken.

After all, Hongdan, who only cuts down everything in the physical system, split the rock as if there was no reverse.

thud!!!

Looking at the stairs leading to the basement, which was terrifyingly revealed when the door was broken, I went inside as if I was just possessed for some unknown reason.

* * *

The dungeon of the Orthodox Inquisition was bigger than I thought.

and.

It was really creepy quiet for a prison subject.

I couldn’t feel any presence at all, and I didn’t even see the light.

In a gloomy atmosphere where a ghost might appear, I slowly moved on.

bang!!!

It was then.

As I was walking in silence, I heard a loud noise not far away.

“…”

It was a sudden and loud sound that would have made a human scream and run away, but he did not stop walking.

“It would have been very fun if I had brought Ilina.”

Illina or Princess Eria.

Princess Eiria is basically a timid person, so it would be effective, and Illina also pretended to be strong on the outside, but she often showed curious reactions about how she would be in this field.

After walking down for a while, I was able to reach the only place where there were people.

As he cut through the space made up of huge stone gates with Hongdan, he saw stone statues presumed to be statues of Goddesses, half-broken and scattered here and there.

The dungeon itself wasn’t broken, but it looked like it had been struck by an earthquake.

There I could see a girl.

It was a red-haired girl who was silent while wearing armor.

“Your name must be… Clonie?”

It seems that she was a girl with special abilities and a little strangely strong.

I looked at her without saying a word and then slowly flicked my finger in front of her face.

Fuck!

“Ugh…”

She, who had been silent at the same time, slowly raised her head.

Looking at me with blank eyes, she seemed not to have judged the situation yet.

Clearly, this bitch was a die-hard fanatic.

If Colossus Griam were me, I would have kept her by my side and used her often.

I don’t know why I’m stuck here.

“Is it spherical?”

“…Ah… ah, you are a saint.”

Even though she was in pain and exhaustion, she smiled brightly.

“Are you here to judge me?”

“Why do you think so?”

“Because you are shining.”

I was silent at her words. Then she looked at the little crucifix hanging around her neck.

According to the hero Reina, if you put it on it and it turns black, it seems that if the light does not change, it is not a heretic.

The reason the cross didn’t respond to me was actually because Colossus Griam, who faked the cross and handed it to Clony, had died, but she didn’t know that.

“I thought you were corrupted. So I wanted to do a trial. You are a noble being. To be sublime! No one can dirty you! You are loved by God.”

“There are only a few people in the world who are loved by God.”

“no. God loves all things. Even the heresy that rejected God. Therefore, it is purified by burning sins. That is why the bones of sinners are white.”

I was silent at her words of firm conviction.

“I have no right to judge and purify you as long as it is clear that you are not a heretic. Perhaps your bones are pure white now.”

She said with a benevolent smile.

“It is a lie to say that God gave a revelation.”

“yes?”

I told her the truth

“What… you mean? Apparently, the head of the Inquisition downloaded the revelation and created God’s Apostle and God’s Apostle…” ”

God’s Apostle is just a phantom beast, and God’s God is a fake. 8 to 90 percent of those you have killed are innocent people, not heretics.”

After telling the truth openly to the point of being brutal, I threw the dagger I took out from the space in front of her, dangling blankly.

“There’s no need to think about whether it’s a lie or the truth. You hid in your convictions and burned the innocent without seeing what you were supposed to see.”

“…I… killed a non-cult being to be protected?”

“okay.”

Then he passed her, leaving behind the chains that bound her.

“Make the decision yourself.”

Leaving her behind without regret, I moved slowly.

I could hear the wind coming from behind her.

There is another hidden space in the basement.

Leaving behind Clony, who was sitting blankly staring at the dagger, I went deeper and arrived at a room made of solid black rocks.

It is the same as the rock that formed the frame of the island. That’s why I cut the wall with a hongdani without regret.

Kurlureung!!

At the same time, a hidden natural cave began to be seen beyond the wall that collapsed as if sliding.

After entering the space that seemed to be full of traps, I soon found a small jewelry box at the end of the cave.

Of course, it was a jewelry box that could be opened with a key.

I ignorantly broke the box with force and took out the obsidian inside.

At a simple glance, it looks like obsidian.

A different power permeated within.

A change in power that I don’t know about.

It was the power of the abyss.

“Was something like this here?”

While holding the obsidian in my hand and rolling it around, I suddenly found the words written on the mural.

It was written in a difficult sacred language, but it wasn’t difficult to read.

It was a stone taken from the ancient ruins underground on this island and kept as if it were sealed.

Its purpose is unknown, but it feels strangely quarrelsome, and it is written that if you have obsidian, you will hear a strange voice over and over again.

Therefore, it is judged as a heresy that rejects God. It seems that the previous head of the Heretic Inquisition sealed and hid this obsidian here.

Even Colossus Griam, the current leader, didn’t seem to know about it.

If you steal, you should say that it is a situation where you get everything.

The ancient ruins were so esotericly hidden that they contained surprising facts.

I don’t know a lot yet, but I’m sure I know at least one thing.

The fact that this abyss had hit the Tionis continent once and who drove them out 10,000 years ago.

When I got out of the natural cave and returned to the dungeon, what greeted me was the smell of blood that pierced my nose.

Crazy people who live and die by their beliefs don’t care about their own lives. When a person who has believed that he is right and has lived has his convictions twisted.

The extreme choice to make…

is just familiar.

* * *

After the Heretic Inquisition, time passed.

Holy Kingdom Balshath officially announced the Inquisition’s coup d’état and officially announced to the continent that it would reduce the Inquisition and change it to a more peaceful organization.

The Tionis continent is similar to Earth’s Middle Ages, but different in many respects.

Unlike the Middle Ages, when the quality of life was quite high and there were many slaves and serfs, it was a world where commoners came back to life with bright smiles.

And with the development of alchemy and magic, it is quite clean.

What’s most surprising is that.

This continent has a relatively high aesthetic sense.

“Three months…”

I murmured, tapping the desk and staring at the cards and obsidian in front of me.

Three months had passed since that time.

In the meantime, I hadn’t found out anything about obsidian, and Megarodria, which I had sealed in the card, hadn’t been able to do anything about it yet. Once the state was restored to normal, they would have to sign a refund contract.

Also, although I was trying to figure out the whereabouts of Verdande, the 6th beauty of the continent, which is now regarded as the most important factor, I couldn’t help but feel that someone was intentionally blocking information.

Cards other than those sealed by Megarodria would occasionally send me trembling protests, as if asking to be released.

I didn’t want to take out the card album with these crazy people in it.

Because it was made of souls, it was possible to bring it from the corridor.

And it’s also the thing I didn’t want to take out as much as possible because I was the most difficult to handle.

The Heinz estate was already busy auctioning off the moon grass, which was sold quarterly, but it wasn’t my concern.

For I will only deal with the weather conditions and the condition of the land in that field.

We select a few talented people out of many to manage the business and receive periodic reports. Because the loyalty towards me in this territory was stronger than I thought, I gave the answer of trust to loyalty.

It was also the words of the demon Belial.

“Lowering. All preparations are complete.”

Eventually, I saw a dwarf and Amy who came to report and slowly got up from my seat.

“okay.”

I said calmly, holding the antique scissors placed on the desk lightly in my hand and tossing them into the subspace.

“Let’s go to the completion ceremony.”

The teachers were moderately recruited.

Now that the building is complete, pop a bottle of champagne and cast an area protection spell.

At that level, wouldn’t he be qualified to be called the chairman of the continent’s largest academy?

protection magic?

Let’s go with something a little better than what the Magic Tower has installed in the tower.

That way you’ll feel less embarrassed.
