The Priest of Corruption - Chapter 46

slaughterer.

slaughterer.

“What do you want to do?”

When the devil asked, my mother in her arms looked at me with trembling eyes.

‘killing….?’

‘No, you’re not going to…?’ was the question. It was an attractive proposal that was certainly comfortable and even easy. However, the two curious eyes that were watching me were full of deep playfulness. As if seeing you in trouble is so much fun.

I replied with a smile.

“You’re only joking there. It’s already difficult enough.”

The demon giggled. After shaking off the ash, she put the pipe in her mouth again and answered me.

“Are you showing off a lot?”

“There must be a reason why you want to send me to the underground arena. Why?”

“It’s a story that has to do with you and your mother.”

As the struggling curiosity hugged the mother tightly, the mother struggled, buried in the devil’s chest. The struggling curiosity was a truly broad-minded demon.

‘killing!!!’

For the sake of my mother, I turned away from her struggles for a while. It was a truly paradoxical choice, but my mother would surely understand.

“I would like you to tell me more.”

‘killing!!!’

After being bitten on her hand by her mother, she playfully called out ‘Ouch!’ and then answered me.

“Think about it. Son of corruption. Why did I bet the holy relic I had so well as the prize for winning this underground arena?”

The reason why the devil bet the sacred relic with the mother’s divinity sealed as the winning prize. A reason to make the demon dispose of the relic.

What if someone bet it as a winning prize, as if someone was annoyed at the holy relic possessed by the devil and threw it away? These are the ones who would annoy the devil.

There was only one answer.

“The worshipers of evil spirits have appeared.”

The struggling curiosity smiled broadly.

“Ding-dong-dang! You got it right! It’s nice that it’s comfortable because they communicate well. I mean, I just threw it as a winning prize in the underground arena for the worshipers of the evil god to take care of it? But now the story has changed.”

The straight pipe was pointed at my face.

“I gave it up because I still haven’t had anyone worthy of use, and it’s not because the worshipers of evil gods who are bothering me are pretty? But, luckily, this filthy son of corruption came to visit me?”

Are you asking me to deal with the worshipers of evil gods who participated in the underground arena?

“Can’t you just secretly give me the holy relic? It’s enough to retrieve the divinity in a short while.”

“If you retrieve the divinity, the evil god’s worshipers will notice right away? It’s not bad for you if you participate in the underground arena and eliminate the evil god’s worshipers.”

She spread out two fingers. Then, slowly, one by one, he began to explain.

“First, you have to take the holy relic from Liberatio yourself someday. Oh, do you know what Liberatio is?”

I nodded. His struggling curiosity smirked and continued.

“It’s good to know. Anyway, you should reduce the number of enemies like this when you can. It will help you later when you play libertio. And number two. This is the capital of a kingdom. I understand what this means. ?”

I understood what the devil was trying to say.

this is the capital. Of course, unlike other places, there were resident priests. In other words, it was a story that even worshipers of evil spirits could not easily use their powers here. Especially in these days, when the vigilance against the worshipers of evil spirits has been heightened.

In addition, I did not die from an attack that did not contain divinity.

Truly the best conditions to slay the worshipers of evil gods.

The demon’s eyes curved in a gentle curve. Her teardrops added to that decadent vibe.

“You understand?”

how will we do it.

When I finished my thoughts, I met her eyes.

“I’m a worshiper of evil spirits, so I don’t intend to kill anyone.”

“Really? I’m surprised? I know you’ve killed quite a few worshipers of evil spirits on your way here?”

“It all had its reasons.”

They committed massacres against innocent people. in front of my eyes too.

The devil licked his lips slowly.

“You live in a pretty demanding way? Well, I like that more. Hang on a minute.”

A struggling curiosity rose from the bed. My mother, who had been freed from the devil’s arms, quickly ran into my arms and picked me up.

I patted my mother’s back in my arms and watched the devil’s actions. She took something out of a closet in the corner of her huge bedroom.

It was a human eye, still alive. the devil saw me

“So if I give you those ‘reasons’ you’re free to kill them?”

The eyeballs placed on the demon’s hand exploded. However, instead of the flesh and bodily fluids that should have come out, white powder began to spread and permeate toward me.

it was a memory

scream. scream. another scream. begging for life. merciless slaughter. Torture that carves pain. Scream again. scream again. endless screaming. An unfathomable scream.

‘Kill!’

A firm voice woke me up. When I came to my senses, I saw my mother growling at the devil with her white teeth exposed.

A struggling curiosity looked at me and quietly smiled.

“Do you think you have a good enough reason now?”

Memories that had permeated for a moment gradually began to fade. As if he had no intention of staying long from the beginning. Only vague impressions engraved by the memories remained on me.

“What is this…?”

“What, you must have guessed it roughly? The memories of the worshipers of the evil gods who participated in my underground arena.

After a moment of silence, I answered her.

“Is it all true?”

The devil giggled and answered briefly.

“Unfortunately?”

***

As soon as she got out of the devil’s bedroom, Dacia let out a deep breath.

“Haa, it was really creepy. Didn’t Priest Marnak really feel anything? As soon as I entered the room, I felt a bit out of breath. Thanks to that, I couldn’t speak easily.”

It seems that struggling curiosity did something to keep Dacia from interfering in the conversation unnecessarily.

“Anyway, do you really intend to participate in the underground arena?”

I nodded.

“Yes. Even if I lose, she even said that she would take care of the sacred relic herself, so I think it’s worth doing as she wishes.”

Memories that passed by for a moment also added a little reason.

Dacia stared at my face.

“But right before we got out of the room, the demon whispered something in Priest Marnak’s ear. What was it talking about?”

It was a suggestion that she secretly visit me whenever she wants to lie down, but if I dare say it here, my mother will go berserk again.

I only brought up the story the devil added to the proposal.

“They told me to bet on myself if I’m confident of winning. Since it’s an underground arena, I guess if you guess a winner, you’ll get a dividend.”

‘killing!!!’

My mother shouted that she would bet all the money she had on me right away. It was definitely not a bad story. I had my own self.

spend money and eat money

I smiled at Dakia.

“For now, let’s go back to the inn today. It’s late.”

***

[I’ve been looking for a long time! Where the hell are you going around like that?]

When we returned to the inn, it was none other than Aurelius who greeted us.

“What were you looking for?”

[Didn’t I decide to give you guys a separate case? I’ve brought something for you guys. I’ll go up to my room first.]

We followed him to the largest room in this inn. There was a large table in the room, on which were placed two objects.

Black plain mask. ring.

[Please sit down. I’ve already given Sagittarius things, even Carmen’s. Carmen is locked up right now, so I thought it would be difficult to hand it to her directly.]

Dakia looked at the ring and mask and said.

“Are you waiting to hand it directly to us?”

[of course! Isn’t there a taste that the side that handing it directly gives? let’s see sleep This ring is my gift to the princess of Dacia.]

Ancient words were engraved on the brass-colored ring close to gold. The ring was a relic. Relics of an ancient empire.

As Dacia accepted the ring, Aurelius began to explain as if he had been waiting.

[This is a ring that increases the sophistication of mana handling when worn on the finger.]

Dacia asked Aurelius with her eyes wide open.

“Then isn’t it an incredibly valuable item?”

Aurelius smiled and shook his head.

[It’s not as precious as the princess thinks. After all, wearing that ring limits the amount of magic you can wield. In other words, it is an object for practicing mana handling well. It’s exactly what a princess who is practicing magic needs.]

Dacia smiled broadly after trying on the ring.

“I’ll write thanks!”

Aurelius looked at it with satisfaction and held out a plain black mask to me.

[This is also the same artifact as that ring. Take a good look.]

As he puts on the mask, it splits into hundreds of pieces in an instant and transforms into a shape that fits his face perfectly. The mask did not stop there and continued to change its form.

[This is a mask that changes into the shape the wearer wants. It’s not very strong, but even if it breaks, it will repair itself over time! Due to the nature of that Immortalium weapon, aren’t there many times when you dodge and get a lot of flesh on your face? If you use this, you’ll get less stains.]

Aurelius took off the mask and handed it to me. I carefully took the mask and told him.

“Still, these are all relics of the ancient empire. Wouldn’t it be a loss to give them this way?”

[Not at all.]

His teeth, revealed with a smile, shimmered in golden light.

[Because the price of my life is on a different level than these few artifacts. Thank you so much for saving me from dying in the snow. Both of you.]

***

The moderator of the underground arena shouted amidst the oil-filled lamps flickering.

“Come out! Come out! Come out, teasing those big feet without hesitation! The name that everyone knows! Let’s call it anxiously together!!!”

“Bigfoot! Bigfoot! Bigfoot!”

“I bet you! Bigfoot! Smash it!”

“Waaaaaaa!!!”

Amid the cheers, a man who was three heads taller than a stout adult walked out leisurely, teasing his big feet worthy of his nickname.

Thick armor covering the whole body and a huge iron club slung over the shoulder.

Bigfoot laughed contentedly amid cheers from the crowd.

“And Bigfoot’s opponent is a rookie!!! Let’s welcome everyone with cheers!!!”

As soon as the moderator finished speaking, a man with a topped out came out of the waiting room.

The muscles that were tightly packed all over the body swelled up without being excessive, reminiscent of a leopard. Dressed in wide black trousers, he wore a black mask over his face that resembled a modern hockey mask.

As soon as he landed, he used the floor as a support and jumped up. Using his flexible muscles, he rotated exactly four times in the air and landed gracefully.

“The opponent of the seasoned ‘Bigfoot’ is the menacing ‘Human Butcher’ right from the name!”

When his name was called, Marnak, the ‘Human Butcher’, stretched out his arms in anticipation of waiting and roamed the huge arena as if it were his own home, drawing cheers.

A warm cheer erupted from the audience as if they had been waiting for that skillful action.

“Waaaaaaaaa!!!”

“Did you see it? Did you just see it? Spinning like a top in the air?”

“Crazy! Crazy!!!”

“Don’t lose Bigfoot!!! I bet on you!!!”

Are you the one who just said that it’s the first time I’ve been to a place like this and I don’t know what to do?

Dakia, who was watching the scene from the crowd with her robe tightly pressed down, said in a bewildered voice.

“Have you ever had something piled up on a regular basis…?”
