The Priest of Corruption - Chapter 183

After giving up acting and putting up a desperate resistance to Jamel, who rushed at her, the mother succeeded in dramatically protecting her lips.

In the meantime, he got entangled with Jamel, who was soaked in dirty water, so he himself was covered in dirty water here and there.

‘killing!’

Contrary to my expectations that she would completely hate dirty things and run amok, my mother saw the stains on her clothes and moved on to pouting her lips once.

After the urgent situation passed, the unpleasant smell from the bodies of the four people soaked in stale water stung the tip of their noses.

“Ugh… I think I’m going to go around giving off a musty smell for the rest of my life…”

Jamel sniffed his body and cried.

“I want to wash right away… I don’t want to be Jamel with a stinky smell…”

Do you want to wash? Those words reminded me of an item I had in one of my two-slot inventory.

The infinite washbasin that I had obtained a long time ago. Actually, the reason I put a large water bowl in my inventory was because it was an ambiguous size to put in my bag after packing.

Either way, it was a good thing.

When I closed my eyes and concentrated, I saw two objects in front of me. An item stored in one side of the old inventory and a wide bowl.

That was something that should never have been taken out of the inventory. Without even looking at the other side, I grabbed the flat bowl and pulled it out into reality.

“oh?! When did you get that?!”

“I’ve got it with the skill I told you about before.”

“hurray!!! As expected, Priest Marnak!!! If you have that water bowl, you can rinse your body right away!!!”

“Come over here for a second.”

“yes!”

As soon as I called, Jamel rushed over, closed his eyes tightly, and raised his face towards me.

When I activated the divine protection on the bowl, transparent water began to spring out of the wide bowl. As he tilted the bowl in that state, water flowed down Jamel’s face.

“Huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh …”

The falling water flowed down towards the floor, sweeping the dirt that had been buried all over Jamel’s face. Jamel, who was making a pleasant expression, soon came to his senses and began to wash his face excitedly.

“Puaaa! i love it!!!”

Now, Jamel untied the hair tie that was tying up one side of her head in earnest and wrapped her hair with both hands. Jamel, who had been washing his hair excitedly, opened his eyes wide.

“Priest Marnak!”

“yes.”

“I don’t know if this is because of my mood, but I just rinsed it once, and it feels like the body odor is completely gone!!! If it’s real, please take it just once!!”

Jamel, freed from the water, tiptoed over and pushed her wet hair toward my face.

“Really. It doesn’t smell at all.”

According to common sense, it didn’t make sense that the smell of dirty water would go away after rinsing once with water, but as Jamel said, her body did not smell at all.

I didn’t know there was such a feature.

“This water is blessed by God, so it must eat the stinky smell!”

“It would be nice to use it when doing laundry in the future.”

The deep smell was gone well, so I didn’t know if washing with this water would remove the stains well. I kept the new use of the water bowl in mind.

“By the way…”

Jamel, who had washed his hair, looked up at me with an expression that something was missing.

“Please feel free to speak.”

“Um… after washing my hair… I wanted to wash my body too… I washed my clothes with my clothes on, so the inside wasn’t washed well… Can I take it all off and wash it…? Combined work and clothes washing…”

“…”

Jamel’s wish was very understandable, but the problem lay elsewhere. Among the party, I am the only one who can activate the protection of this water bowl. In other words, I had to hold this water bowl to make water for Jamel while she was undressing and washing.

“It doesn’t matter to me, but… are you okay?”

“It’s okay if it’s Priest Marnak…”

‘Kill!!!’

Screaming that I will never see that. My mother jumped up quickly and grabbed the water bowl in my hand.

‘killing!’

The mother shouted, ‘Look!’ and tilted the water bowl, and the water flowed down. Then, he immediately threw the water bowl full of water into Jamel’s face.

slap!!!

“Puha?!”

Jamel, who was hit in the face with cool water, widened his eyes.

“oh! You mean you’re making water for me while I’m washing in place of Priest Marnak? thank you!!!”

‘killing?!’

“Please wait a moment.”

I stopped Jamel, who was about to throw off his clothes, as if he was quite embarrassed.

“yes?”

“Wait a minute, I will wash myself first and look around.”

“aha. yes Wash first!”

The smell emanating from my body was too strong for me to just go searching, so I had no choice but to find out if someone was there.

I put down the robe I was wearing over my shoulders and briefly took off my priestly robe. I received a water bowl from my mother and rinsed my body in my open underwear when I heard a small sound from behind.

“Ah …”

When I swipe my head, I saw Jamel’s eyes on my eyes and watched my body. A body like this doesn’t wear out just by looking at it, so I just left it alone.

After roughly rinsing my body once, the stench that was really bad, just like Jamel said, disappeared without a trace. I sincerely apologized for using this bowl only as a washbasin.

From now on, I really need to use it when doing laundry.

I made a firm resolution once more and handed over the water bowl to my mother.

“After you both wash up, please wash Dacia and Gisele lying over there. That would be much better than leaving them filthy. And, if you have any spare hands, I would like my robe, which I have taken off over there.”

“yes! My mother and I will suck it up well!!!”

“The priestly clothes I took off are already clean, so you can cover them over Giselle or Dacia when they get cold.”

“yes!”

Maybe it’s because the hot sewer is on the other side of the wall, but the room itself wasn’t too cold, but it would be better to leave the priest’s clothes here just in case.

“By the way, if I leave my priestly clothes behind, will Priest Marnak look around in his underwear?”

I tapped the bracelet on my right wrist and smiled.

“I can wear this.”

With a clanking sound, the metal bracelet stretched and covered my entire body. The touch of cold metal felt on his bare skin. I moved my black body armor around and nodded in satisfaction.

good. very good.

Having recovered the rest of it from Ulthor, the intact armor has always been truly satisfying.

Whole Immortalium armor. It would be something that could not be obtained even if an entire bustling city were sold. I didn’t have much greed for things, but I really liked this armor.

“Oh wow! it’s awesome!!!”

Jamel was always exclaiming no matter what I did, but today, for some reason, I liked hearing Jamel’s praise even more. Is this why the emperor fell for the whispers of treacherous subjects?

“Ugh…”

Dacia let out a low moan, frowning. Fortunately, it didn’t hurt anywhere, it just seemed like it was because he smelled the stench coming from his body while he was sleeping.

“Both of you, please. Oh, and when Dacia wakes up, you can ask her to dry her clothes with magic.”

“yes!!!”

‘killing!’

Leaving behind the two nodding heads, I went up the hallway filled with soft light. The space we entered was open in the front and back, but the back was blocked by a wall at a distance, so we chose the front.

clap. clap.

Every move reverberated along the metal seams of the armor. According to Jamel, where we are now is right in the middle of a huge doughnut-shaped sewer.

Of course, it would be the outermost zone in the central space because it broke the wall and came in.

I moved my steps as quietly as possible and kept my senses sharp.

There couldn’t be a road like this in the middle of the sewer without a reason. There was a high probability that this was a facility that managed this huge sewerage system.

If my predictions are correct, the people here must have known that we had infiltrated the sewers and discharged the stored wastewater.

They were really dirty and despicable to think of soaking people in dirty water. Seeing that Jamel, who even said he was hungry until he was swept away by the water, doesn’t say anything in particular now, Jamel must be upset that he ate a lot of sloppy water while being swept away… I stopped thinking like

sloppy water. It’s like having a little bit of filth. I, who was swept away by the water, and Dachiana and Gisele must have eaten all the water they would have eaten for the rest of their lives today, so what’s the big deal?

“Hey that…”

“Uh maybe…”

His voice caught in the sharp bristle sensation. I lowered my stance and moved forward slowly. The sound gradually became clearer.

“Really, how long do we have to stay stuck in this sewer?”

A woman with a high pitched voice.

“It can’t be helped. Since the Dragon Princess and the Dragon Prince are going after the hiding places built above the city… I’m going to have to go underground like this…” A

small, timid voice. It was difficult to tell if it was a man or a woman because of the thin and small voice.

“You just have to wait a little bit. If you wait a little bit, Havas-sama will bring a god to earth. Then, in a very real sense, our world will begin.”

A man with a deep voice.

As I continued to overhear the conversation, I saw a staircase going down. I went down the stairs and saw a large space next to the railing.

The three people who were talking were right there.

“found.”

***

Complex mechanics and screens scattered all over the place. Three people sitting on chairs.

The red-haired woman twirled the ends of her long hair with her fingers and spat out the words.

“By the way, all the intruders who entered through the passage on Rekkles’ side are dead, right?”

The muscular giant nodded.

“Since the sewage and wastewater stored over the past few days has been released at once, it must be dead. isn’t it? Sven?”

A small man named Sven nodded.

“I saw it all through the rats… All four were definitely swept away…”

“Huh.”

The red-haired woman glanced down at the dwarf man, perhaps not liking the man’s tone, then looked away.

“Isn’t it shift time soon? I don’t know why we are doing this sewer management? I think the Emperor of the Northern Empire must be very mad. Instead of providing you with a shelter, take care of the facility while you stay there. Ha, why the hell do high-class personnel like us have to do such dirty work? If it wasn’t for the real Havas, I would have beaten him a long time ago.”

“That is the same for me.”

As the muscular man agreed, the red-haired woman continued with a slightly softened voice, perhaps feeling better.

“By the way, what happened to him?”

“Who are you talking about?”

“Who is who? It’s a shameful Rekkles bastard. Before I got here on duty, I saw that Rekkles tied up and dragged like a pig.”

“I don’t know either. I’ll ask when I get out.”

“I saw it.”

“what?”

The little man whispered softly.

“I saw where he got stuck on the way… I’ll teach you when I’m done…”

“Hmm…”

The woman gave a long snoring laugh.

“What good. Because I’m curious. I will specially follow you…”

Quaang!!!

Something black jumped down. And swung without delay.

squeak.

The pure white trail cut the woman vertically. The woman split in half without finishing what she was saying. The sudden appearance of the black armor did not stop there. He swung the white bone sword in his hand at the muscular man.

“shit!”

The muscular man reflexively drew back and swung his arms. Then the black shadows rose and bound the armor.

squeak.

The man’s right arm flew through the air with blood. Realizing that the target had escaped, the black armor quickly extended its left fist.

hooked

The glitter of black metal. The fired Immortalium harpoon went like a beam of light and pierced the muscular man’s head. The shadows rising from under the black armor lost their power and faded.

“Hey?!”

Sven, a small man, was astonished at the one-sided slaughter. It was darkness itself, where nothing could be seen beyond the eye sockets of the black armor that looked at him.

An opponent he could not compete with, having served the chains of domination and subordination and dealing with the rats in the sewer. The moment when Sven, who had an intuition of death, closed his eyes tightly.

A low voice was heard.

“Where is Rekkles?”

“yes?”

“Choose. death and life. Which one do you want?”

There was no choice and no sleep. Sven exclaimed urgently.

“Life! It’s life! I will guide you straight to where Rekkles is!!!”

Marnak chinned.

“Then guide me.”

***

hooked.

A white bone sword pierced Sven’s belly and protruded. As he was dying, he looked up at Marnak with very unjust eyes.

“You said it would save you…”

The black helmet cracked as if it were alive, revealing a tall face. Marnak chuckled.

“I didn’t say anything wrong because I was supposed to die earlier and have lived until now.”

Marnak’s wrist moved lightly, and Sven’s neck flew and rolled on the floor.

“I think that a person who immerses a person in excrement and hopes that they will be saved is a bit shameless. What do you think, Mr. Rekkles?”

Where his question was headed was a chubby middle-aged man hanging from the wall with his arms and legs tied with chains. Right at the upper part of Rekkles, Rekkles.

Rekkles realized that he was a priest named Marnac whom he had seen during the day.

“Did you… come to save me…?”

Marnak lightly shook the bone sword, and the blood soaked in the blade splattered onto the stone floor. Unlike the daytime, a slightly smirking voice followed.

with a playful smile.

“Wouldn’t that depend on how Mr. Rekkles responds from now on?”
