The Priest of Corruption - Chapter 187

tattle.

tattle.

silent desolation.

It’s been quite a while since I felt like I was hugged by Pearly, but no one came to the ‘stopper’ room. Around the time when the sense of crisis subsides and the fact that we are holding each other feels a little uncomfortable.

Dacia cautiously opened her mouth on behalf of Giselle and Jamel, who were very scared. in a very small voice.

“Are you really coming?”

Pearly rolled her left eye with four pupils and looked at Dakia. Dakia flinched a little at those bizarre eyes, but didn’t try to express it and threw the words again.

“Pearly?”

“Hmm…”

Pearly glanced out at the scene outside the cocoon she had created. Through the threads that are so transparent that you can clearly see the outside. Of course, the only thing I could look out was one-way, so I couldn’t find the cocoon where I hid myself from the outside.

“It’s strange… I should have come a long time ago. why don’t you come Are you sure you saw that you were leaving the residence?”

“You saw it? The Prophet is leaving his residence?”

Only then did Dakia’s suspiciousness begin to come into her eyes at Pearly’s muttering. It’s not just one or two, but suspicious.

Why is it not his characteristic loud tone? I told you that we were going to Rekkles’ residence, but it was a complete coincidence that we arrived at this sewage treatment facility.

“you.”

Dacia’s golden eyes sank heavily with suspicion.

“What are you hiding?”

Pearly’s purple eyes curled softly. With a little bit of playfulness

“If you’re going to answer that question, would I have bothered to hide it? Your body is all grown up, but do you still have a lot of childlike features? It’s so naive. Just enough to be a nuisance to others. I don’t know why Marnak takes a kid like you with him. Well, after all, he’s a bit of an odd kid.”

“I beg your pardon?”

Dacia was speechless at the unexpected verbal abuse. Pearly shrugged.

“why? surprised? Because I’m not being nice to you? But you know what? All I need is Marnak, not you or the other kids. The reason I bothered to come to rescue you was all because of Marnak. Actually, I’m not that kind of a person.”

The four pupils rotated clockwise. At that moment, Dakia saw that figure and instinctively felt disgusted.

“How would I feel if people were so nervous that they were closely watching whether the prophet was coming or not, but looking at them with an annoyed look and asking questions all the time? would be very bad right?”

“…It’s all because you did something suspicious!”

Pearly laughed. Dacia’s cheeks turned red at that obvious mockery.

“Are you really Annie? If you have doubts, you should set a trap and wait so that you can catch the tail of the doubt instead of asking questions right away. If I had intended to harm you in the first place, would I have done it long ago, hugging you needlessly like this and creating this cramped cocoon? I don’t like hanging out with girls like this.”

“Eh… Eup?!”

The moment when Dakia, who was at a loss for words, cleared her anger and finally opened her mouth. Pearly’s expression hardened. Soon, a hand stretched out from behind her back and covered Dacia’s mouth. Pearly quickly lowered her head and whispered in Dacia’s ear.

“Shut up. If you say just one more word, I’ll kiss you and shut you up.”

“…?!”

Silence returned again. Dacia didn’t understand what had changed. Only Pearly, who secretly spread the thread around the room, noticed.

well done

The teacup placed in the middle of the room shook slightly. Soon, green stems sprouted through the gaps in the small floor. The long stems soon became entangled and formed a human shape.

Havas of blind faith, an old man who grew up in the middle of the room, scanned the surroundings with hollow eyes.

Even though the exposed skin and face were full of wrinkles, there was an atmosphere around the old man that a criminal would not dare to touch. The old man carrying the backpack stretched out his hand, and the stem sprouting from the floor turned into a hard stick and held it in his hand.

‘Priest Marnak…’

Every time the old man’s gaze brushed past the transparent cocoon, Jamel instinctively looked for Marnak. Again and again, her intuition screamed at her hard work. Never, ever, never let that old man get caught.

“Hmm…”

‘Heek!’

Jamel, who was covering his mouth with his hand, met the eyes of the hollow old man. Jamel can’t tell if it’s looking at him or if it’s just a coincidence…

“Come out. I already noticed because of the loud bickering.”

“Heeep!”

Jamel hiccups involuntarily came out. The cocoon parted and Pearly rose to her feet as her eyes darkened with despair.

“what. did you already know Then you should have said it earlier. still have a bad personality Havas.”

Havas stared at Pearly.

“The look and the eyes. Are you the younger brother of Perpeshow? As I remember, it’s still cheeky. But…”

The old man’s eyes narrowed.

“Could it be that you did this? Even if your sister is a prophet like me, this one has crossed the line. Pearly.”

“You wouldn’t even be able to shout in front of my sister, but in front of me, she would chatter and chatter very well.”

“It’s just because your sister is crazy. It’s not because she’s afraid.”

One of the three pairs of hands sprouting from behind Pearly’s back moved stealthily and pointed at the door. Dakia and the others quickly exchanged glances at the gesture to sneak out.

“You are doing something stupid. Do you think you’ll allow me to run away?”

thud.

The moment the stick lightly hits the ground. There was a being that moved faster than anyone else.

Taang!!!

The old man’s head exploded as the slayer’s muzzle spewed fire in the hands of the Mother of Decay. A preemptive attack without the slightest hesitation. Surprised by the attack, everyone looked at the Mother of Decay with dumbfounded eyes.

bang! bang! bang! bang! bang!

The muzzle spewed fire again. Without delay, the Mother of Corruption poured out all the remaining bullets and, as usual, filled the slaughterer’s magazine with the live ammunition Marnak had brought with her, asking her to use it carefully from the coin pouch, and loaded the gun.

clap.

The sound of the loading brought everyone back to their senses.

Quaang!!!

Pearly, who came to her senses first, quickly broke down the door and shouted.

“Run away quickly! Because he will never die like that!!! First find Marnak and run away together!!! okay?”

“Yes yes!!!”

Jamel, who stepped out faster than anyone else, was the first to jump out the door like a bullet. Giselle and Dacia followed behind the mother of decay, who reacted afterwards.

It was clear where they were headed. A place where fierce divinity sways and battles are taking place right now. It was the restaurant where Marnac was located.

“what?”

After regenerating in an instant through the intertwined stems, Havas’ head tilted his head. It just got hit by a bullet, but the playback was strangely slow. In the first place, it didn’t make sense from the fact that the expression of power was cut off after being hit by a few bullets.

“I’ll have to move a little faster from now on.”

“Old man. Why don’t we go back without needlessly straining?”

Havas shook his head at Pearly’s barbed words.

“You look exactly like my older sister in one rudeness. Looking at your sister’s face, I will warn you one last time. If you really have nothing to do with this incident, get out of my way right now. Seeing your sister, I will ignore you just this once.”

“what.”

Threads of divinity spewed out from the tips of the four pairs of fingers. Havas nodded at the attitude of questioning and answering.

“That was a good enough answer for me.”

Right.

The moment the cane hits the floor. The entire room collapsed and plant stems attacked Pearly. Pearly swung her eight hands and cut the stems that were coming towards her with thread.

“It’s obvious! It’s so obvious! He’s an old friend who’s always boring to see! Aren’t there too few changes?”

“Tsk.”

Havas clicked his tongue briefly.

“Even though I haven’t changed, what do you think is the reason I am here?”

A wrinkled hand pointed to Pearly’s body.

“Because it didn’t have to be. Stop going.”

The cross section of the cut off stem cracked and new stems protruded and called themselves. Pearly was caught by the swollen stems, and her limbs were crushed and rolled on the floor.

Pearly muttered in a dying voice, with only her body and head remaining.

“…The old lady is just using her strength for no reason.”

“Don’t pretend you are dying. Pearly. I know it’s a doll anyway.”

Perley, who was dying, grinned.

“okay? Then there is nothing you can do! Hi-Hi!”

“Anyway, your purpose is clearly visible. Pearly. Please ask in advance. No matter how hard you try, you will never have the vessel of God. More than this I am. Do you understand?”

“You will have to wait and see. bowl for me I’ll be looking for it soon, so keep it safe until then! So goodbye!”

The purple eyes went out and the doll’s head bent. Havas looked down at the doll.

“To take things made by others as their own, of course… Even if you don’t have a habit, you don’t have it for a while. just like my sister No, that’s worse.”

It was painful to see the sewage treatment facility suffer, but it had long since served its purpose anyway.

“I guess I’ll just have to finish it before the priests come in.”

Havas murmured softly, and his chin snapped, and his body sank through the floor and disappeared.

***

Why aaaaaaaaaaa!!!

He decapitated Arras, who had been resisting until the end, using the annoying wind, and absorbed his divinity.

– That ah ah ah ah ah ah ah! ! !

The giant of corruption returned after the job was done. I closed my eyes and sank into my mind. Then, on the obscured retina, typefaces floated up.

[Divinity: 38349]

Looking at the number of divinities that have increased, I can realize how well the decision to clean up this place was made.

After arranging the ‘stopper’ and getting this much divinity, I thought I would be able to collect enough divinity of arrogance that Impetro told me to collect after I arranged the ‘gold coins’ and ‘stool’.

I was feeling proud as I was getting stronger step by step as if I was saving money for something.

“And this is probably the key.”

I picked up a piece of key that was falling between the clothes that the crumbled ‘stopper’ was wearing.

I also carried

Since ‘Maggae’ made a piece of key like a necklace and carried it, it was clear that he would carry the rest of the ‘gold coins’ and ‘stool’ similarly. That meant that if they wanted to find the key, they would have to kill themselves.

We already know the identity of the gold coin, so now we just need to uncover the identity of the platform.

It would be best to go back to the ship and discuss it together.

“Shall we go back soon?”

“Is Arras dead…”

the old man’s voice. The old man who appeared without a sign looked at the clothes in front of me and muttered.

“How unfortunate. I’ve raised and clothed myself since I was little.”

“That is none of my business.”

“is it?”

I quietly raised the butcher. I don’t know who that old man is, but it’s clear that he’s dangerous. Because I didn’t even feel like I was showing up.

The old man chuckled.

“Then they wouldn’t be my business either.”

As he tapped the cane in his hand, four women appeared across the corridor of the restaurant. tied with thick tree trunks.

“Eup!!”

this kid

I quickly glanced at the condition of the four, including my mother. Thankfully, all four of them didn’t seem to have any major injuries.

“What do you want?”

“You suddenly became polite. Are all four of them important to you?”

The old man’s voice was full of deep composure. I smiled over the helmet.

“If you injure even a single hair, I will make you regret being born for the rest of your life.”

“You are terribly shameless. Maybe it’s because they’re the ones Pearly brought. Didn’t you first kill Arras, which I raised myself? But why are you angry with me? It’s all your karma. But I will be generous to you, especially to you, and give you a chance.”

The old man spread one finger.

“It would be right to receive one life for the price of one life. Of the four, choose the least dear to you. I’ll just kill him and give you the rest in full. especially.”

Behind the smile that disguised the old man’s benevolence was full of twisted malice. He wasn’t vengeful, he was just enjoying the situation itself. Like I’m really curious about who I’ll choose.

“good. I’m determined.”

“okay. Which of the four would you choose?”

I slowly reached out and pointed at the old man.

“You are behind now.”

“Hmm… that doesn’t seem like the answer I’ve been waiting for. No matter how much you struggle, it will be faster for me to crush those women.”

“I guess so. If ‘I’ move, I won’t be able to save them all.”

“What is that…”

“I know when I see it.”

The resonating ring constantly alerted me to someone’s location.

Quaang!!!

The ceiling collapsed and blue lines fell. At the same time as the momentary flash, the stems of all plants were cut and rolled.

After neatly saving the four people, Master Pridja’s eyes softened and drew a beautiful curve.

“Yuna, who treated you badly?”

I stretched out my finger and pointed at the old man.

“That guy scared me, Master.”
