To Hell With Being A Saint, I’m A Doctor - Chapter 680

Episode 680 (2)

The next day, Ray was ready to head to the Demonic Cult.

Even if it was preparation, it was not too far, so all I had to do was pack a few books in my backpack.

When they climbed into the carriage, Clein and Filia, who were dressed in overly formal attire, took a bow with the knights accompanying them.

“I was waiting.”

“Why is everyone dressed like that?”

“There should be no shortage in doing what the goddess has commanded.”

“Umm….”

Did I lie too much?

Apart from Klein, even Philia was dressed in a royal robe, so it was quite burdensome.

what can i do

This is also karma.

Instead of the coachman, Klein drove the carriage himself.

It felt so new to ride the carriage exclusively for the knight commander of the kingdom, which was said to be used only during ceremonies.

After passing through the castle gate and coming out to the Royal Capital Village, I could feel the eyes of the people around me.

“And the Knights of the Kingdom?”

“Today, another blind nobleman will disappear.”

Even the people who were inside came out to watch as the carriage, which was shining even at a glance, ran down the road.

As the number of people starts to increase, the pressure doubles for some reason.

“I don’t think it would have been okay if I didn’t ride a carriage like this anyway…”

Ray protested in a sinking voice.

“What do you mean? The oracle of the goddess is something that only happens once or twice in the history of a hundred years. If you neglect it, you lack self-awareness as a saint.”

Again, the bitter voice returned.

He couldn’t even find a match and kept his mouth shut.

There are many things I want to say, but they are all seeds I sowed.

‘If I knew it would be like this, I’d cheat in moderation.’

Even if he died soon, he had no regrets about cheating.

Shortly after passing the streets of the royal capital, the carriage stopped.

“Get off.”

As Klein escorted (?) the door open, Ray took his hand with a sigh.

I got off the carriage and looked around.

“Is this the demon religion?”

The exterior exudes a sense of sacredness from the entrance.

The water that came into the temple along the aqueduct is discharged again through the statue of the goddess.

Golden pillars supported the roof of the temple, and in the center was a stone statue of a praying man wearing a robe.

“…isn’t it the wrong way?”

I asked in disbelief.

However, the two shook their heads and said, “This is definitely a Demonic Church,” and confirmed and killed them.

The Demonic Church can’t do this!

Didn’t you drink it just like the name!

Then, it would be normal to place a stone statue of a demon in a cool dark color in a cobweb-lined cavity, but why is it so pious and sacred!

look!

That perfect statue of a goddess!

It was a spectacle that people who did not know could mistake this place for the Church of Gaia.

“Let’s go in.”

Philia led the way.

‘This can’t be…’ I muttered and followed, and now I heard the faint singing of the believers in the distance.

pious

pure.

It was white and dazzling.

It felt like even myself, who must have been a saint, was being purified by the demon.

I feel like I’m going to lose an important identity if I stay here a little longer!

He hurriedly shook his head, brushing off his piety.

“This place is called Acute. It is a place where non-believers can come and go freely. Usually, ceremonies are held here.”

Klein explained.

“Can non-believers participate in the ceremony?”

“Yes, it’s a ceremony held at Yeogak.”

talk and smile

Somehow, even Klein’s annoyed face seemed to shine here.

After passing through the acute angle while listening to the explanation, a beautiful staircase made of marble appeared in front of me.

The light mist flowing from the mountain added to the atmosphere, so I thought this was a place to enshrine a god.

‘Are you watching Gaia?’

That means you can watch and learn.

The sight of this quiet, reverent and peaceful place.

“I have to walk a bit from now on.”

“We are not believers, so can we go in?”

“Yes, it’s an acute angle up to the mid-chin. It’s just that the road is difficult, so non-believers usually don’t think about going.”

Talk and smile again.

Is it because you’re wearing the Royal Knights’ regalia?

You’re annoyingly holy today, kid.

I followed the two of them up the stairs.

I was worried that it would be slippery because it was made of marble, but it seemed to have been coated with magic.

From preservation magic to anti-slip.

“How much money does this all cost?”

When I mumbled involuntarily, Filia rebuked me.

“Holy Son, this place is acute. Please keep your body tight…”

“Yes.”

As Klein said, the road to the middle course was quite steep.

It is said that the stairs are connected, but I can’t even remember how many cliffs I encountered along the way.

They say that the way to approach God must be done by oneself without the help of others, and even handrails or handrails are not made.

“I’m going to catch someone like this.”

Certainly, this is a place where the demons are worshiped.

Otherwise, there would be no way to build such a brutal road as a stairway to God.

Every time I passed the stairs, I unconsciously clicked my tongue thinking of the believers who would suffer.

Then again, Philia’s reprimand followed.

“Holy Son, as I told you earlier, please keep your body tight.”

“Oh yes.”

After giving a rough answer, I focused on climbing the stairs again.

* * *

Two hours have passed since I started climbing the stairs.

I climbed the cliff-like path and passed the steep descent more than 20 times.

Even so, the end of the acute angle they were talking about was not even visible.

“Hee-eok… Hee-euk… Are you still there?”

Ray said, catching his breath.

At that, Philia smiled and waved her hand as if telling her not to joke.

“You are sore. We have only climbed two hours yet.”

Have you ever seen such a crazy wizard?

I climbed for two hours, but I didn’t see a single octagonal pavilion where I deserved to rest, let alone halfway up.

Is this really the path made for people to climb?

Even himself, who has long since surpassed the criminal’s physical abilities, is holding his breath.

Moment by moment, the desire to spend mana surged up, but he endured it while reviewing Derp’s teachings.

“How far is it until halfway up?”

“Umm, it looks like we’ll reach the end of the acute angle in the next two hours.”

two hours?

In an instant, swear words almost came out.

“We’re fine too, but I hope the Holy Son won’t be having a hard time.”

Klein said with a laugh haha.

it’s tough.

It’s going to be hard, you bastard.

He doesn’t use mana like anyone else, so he thinks he’ll die right away!

I didn’t even realize it when I saw him gasp for lack of breath!

I wanted to protest like a chimney, but I kept my mouth shut because I thought I would suffocate from lack of oxygen if I had a fight here.

* * *

Two more hours passed and the last step was in front of me, and I felt a new feeling.

It’s godliness and nabal, and now I don’t know.

Until recently, this place looked like a magical temple with a good atmosphere, but now it looks like a hell road where you kill people and take their blood.

“Im here. This is the end of Acute Angle.”

When I left the stairs, I saw a small prayer place that was only half the size of the first temple I saw.

A statue of a girl carrying a jar spews water, and beneath it was a magnificent waterfall revealed by the clearing of the fog.

“Oh oh.”

I was in awe of admiration.

The process of getting here was difficult and arduous, but when I arrived here, it seemed that all these landscapes were prepared just for me.

The beautiful scarlet lanterns, dimly visible in the fog, and the reflection of the temple in the back match really well.

I felt like I wanted to hug the girl statue and shed tears right away.

Did you feel popular?

The devotees who had been praying and the benevolent priest welcomed them.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Donbe, Priest of Acute Angle.”

Donbe.

For some reason, it seems like a name that would be successful if you opened a pork cutlet restaurant or a butcher shop.

“Hello, Priest Donbe. I have come at the request of the bishop.”

“Yes, I heard you. You must have worked hard to get here, so please take a break and go.”

It’s also money.

do you know something

Ray was relieved at the thought that he could finally rest.

Follow the priest Donbe to enter the temple.

It was hidden by the robes, so it was hard to see, but the lower bodies of the priests who were praying were somehow unusual.

At first glance, the muscles from the calves to the ankles are well developed, comparable to those of the Minotaur.

‘Is that possible with a human body?’

Their bodies have evolved so much that even the former doctor had doubts, focusing on the lower body.

Well, if it’s enough to come to a place like this to pray, I don’t know, but it should be at the level of an ogre.

The praying believers lowered their bodies and put their hands together toward the stone statue.

“My god, please, the spirit of the blood…”

As one prayed, the other believers also recited.

“Demon God, the spirit of blood…”

“Demon God, the spirit of blood…”

It is something creepy to call it a prayer.

Ray looked at them and said.

“Priest Donbe, what is this prayer…”

“Oh, that is a verse asking for faith as thick as blood. Occasionally, some believers receive divine power.”

As I smiled and spoke lightly, an indescribable sensation ran down my spine.

‘…Magi?’

In the middle of the stone statue, you can feel the remnants of demonic energy.

Is that the divine power they are talking about?

No matter how you look at it, you can only see pure magic.

“People who see it for the first time may feel uncomfortable. But after experiencing a few miracles, everyone becomes a believer.”

“A miracle?”

“Yes, unfortunately I can’t show you from an acute angle.”

Priest Donbe laughed haha as if he was really sorry.
