Chapter 6 Episode 29 – Last resort 2

“There is no such thing as hell.”

The rats that flocked to the Patriarchate soon disappeared inside the building. And an unpleasant energy, magical energy, began to overflow so that even my poor senses could feel it.

It seems that both knights and crusaders have become demons.

‘Ordinary humans also become extremely strong, but when a knight-level superhuman turns into a demon… . ‘It’s terrible.’

Wouldn’t he be at least the leader of the Eastern Continent? Maybe even stronger than that.

“Master, give the command.”

“Let’s go up to the roof of the building over there.”

To put it simply, the Patriarchate building is a three-story building in the shape of a staircase. Among them, Patricia is in the innermost room on the second floor, and I memorized the location when I received guidance from Gromwell previously.

Karjen landed on the roof. As the tentacle made a hole in the roof, Sergeant Reese entered the hole, and the sound of swords clashing rang out.

When she followed her into the hole, she found herself in a confrontation with two crusaders who were presumed to be watching security. There was a brooch on their chest that looked flashy at first glance, and perhaps that was the sacred insignia.

“Can you win?”

“Ha. Don’t underestimate it too much.”

Karjen stretched out her tentacles with a confident expression and attacked the crusaders. However, it was cut off with a few sword strikes from the crusaders.

“……”

“Keuhum. I let my guard down.”

The pathetic vampire octopus cleared its throat in embarrassment and regenerated its tentacles again, but it was torn into pieces again.

“No, what are you doing!”

Sergeant Reese shouts urgently. She was holding up quite well against the two Holy Insignia. Of course, we were so busy defending ourselves that we were only wasting time, but that alone was a big deal.

On the other hand, Karjen seems taken aback by an enemy that is stronger than expected. His face was visibly distorted with a mixture of embarrassment and anger.

“To experience such humiliation from such an insignificant human… . If it wasn’t for my contract, I could have killed you a long time ago!”

In fact, it is true that I have become weaker because of the contract, but is it because I feel like something is ugly?

“You guys, are you causing trouble because you know where this is!”

At that time, one of the sacred insignia shouted in a solemn voice.

“I do this because I know.”

“What? The survival of humanity depends on the Virgin Mary! Still, isn’t it shameful as a human being to do something like this!”

“……The survival of humanity is damned. But do you know that the reason humanity is in ruin now is because of that Salty Mother?”

“Shut up! It’s not worth listening to!”

“Ji spoke first.”

I sighed and took out the purification stone from my arms. Thanks to the subtly emitting light of its own, the dark surroundings became a little brighter.

“This can’t be happening… .”

“That doesn’t make sense… . How could that… .”

The faces of the two sacred insignia illuminated by soft light were colored with astonishment, as if they recognized the Jeonghwaseok, a sacred relic of the Church of the Virgin Mary.

“If you are a faithful believer of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, you will know very well what this means.”

“Ugh… .”

“I never thought something like this would actually happen… .”

The purification stone purifies unclean things. The problem is that Jeong Jeong-seok treats most things in this world as ‘negative’ and tries to purify them.

Therefore, even ordinary people or faithful believers cannot touch the Jeonghwa Stone with their bare hands. The only person who can do that is the Holy Mother.

The Holy Mother Church interpreted this as saying that only those chosen by God can touch the Jeonghwa Stone.

‘And now I’m touching this with my bare hands.’

In other words, I have now proven that I am a being chosen by God.

‘I’m not sure why I can touch it.’

Anyway, they can’t be against me anymore. Because the moment you become hostile, it becomes blasphemy.

But why are those guys still pointing their swords?

“I am not deceived! No matter what beautiful woman comes, I, I will not be shaken! God, how could you put me through this ordeal… !”

“Ugh… . If I hadn’t stabbed my thigh, I would have definitely been captivated by that beauty. I’m afraid… .”

“I can’t do it. Now that it’s like this, I’m giving up sight!”

What are these idiots doing now?

One guy’s hands were shaking and he suddenly stabbed his eyes with his own hand. Another guy stabbed his thigh with a sword. If you stab me that deeply with a long sword, not even a dagger, you wouldn’t be able to stand properly, let alone walk.

“Of course! He suddenly took out a glowing stone, so I thought to myself, and this is what he was aiming for! Although we pretend not to, we are both captivated by Zeke’s beauty!”

It was only after listening to Sergeant Reese’s explanation that I realized that their eyes were on my face.

“No, fuck. Look at your hands, not your face. This is Jeong Jeong-seok. Can’t you see?”

“Shut up! Because now all I can see is your pitiful face!”

“I can’t see anything!”

“I’ll be thrilled.”

Maybe it’s because he lived a celibate life for a long time as a priest. These guys have completely lost their taste.

Thanks to you, I am thankful that it was neutralized on its own, but I feel bad for something.

Anyway, I am two divine anal… No, he motioned to Karjen to eat the sacred badge.

The tentacles that had been slowly regenerating from the floor attacked the two again, and although the resistance was still strong, they appeared to be noticeably weaker than before due to the self-harm.

Eventually, when Sergeant Reese joined in, the two were eventually defeated and became Karjen’s food.

“God, forgive the Lamb who succumbed to trials… !”

“This… Is this the penalty for giving in to desire? . Our Lady… . Sorry.”

It’s art right up to the moment it goes, really.

“Hmph. The taste isn’t bad for a lowly human being. Well, you are a human being who recognizes the beauty of this body. It has to be that way.”

“……”

“Hmm? Master, why are you looking at me like that? Have you also fallen in love with the beauty of this body?”

“No. It’s nothing.”

I felt like Karjen was making a big mistake, but she seemed to be in a good mood, so I just left it alone.

“ji, they really ate people… .”

Meanwhile, Sergeant Reese, who saw Karjen’s cannibalism for the first time, was unable to recover from the shock.

‘It’s been a while since I’ve seen everyone’s surprised reactions, so it’s a bit refreshing.’

“If you don’t come to your senses, I’ll feed you to Karjen.”

“Hiik–! Well, that’s it… . If I were to be eaten, I would rather be eaten by Zeke… .”

This guy is really crazy too.

*

The Virgin’s door was not locked. As if they were planning on letting us in from the beginning.

“See you again. Salty mother.”

“Welcome. It’s a lot later than I thought.”

Patricia welcomed me leisurely, drinking tea.

There was no sign of Howie in the room. In fact, as she is also one of the monarchs, she will be strong enough to not need a bodyguard. The guard in front of the door was probably just left there for the purpose of matching the assortment.

‘Plus, he must have sucked a lot of Maggi… . In most cases, the fight itself will not be successful.’

Rattling–.

Patricia put a new teacup on the table.

“How about you? Would you like a cup of tea?”

“Something has already happened to me, so will I eat what you give me?”

“Smart? Hehehe.”

She said something sarcastic and laughed lightly.

“Hey, is that you, Zeke? Is that person the main culprit of the Mine incident?”

“That’s right. It’s a fake pretending to be the Virgin Mary.”

“But that… . I can’t feel anything? Should I say that it looks rather harmless… .”

In response to Sergeant Reese’s question, I observed Patricia again.

‘……The impression is definitely light. I felt this way when we first met. Plus, the heroine’s profile doesn’t appear.’

Is there something that deceives even the system? Or is it an effect of the power she possesses? It is most likely the latter, but since she is an S-class heroine, I cannot rule out the possibility that there is something beyond my imagination.

“Hmm. What did that soldier over there want from me?”

Patricia gets up from her seat and approaches with strides.

The smile that was prevalent gradually hardened and turned into an expressionless expression. Her seemingly harmless atmosphere gradually began to distort in a bizarre way.

“Perhaps… . Something like this?”

“Wooow–!”

Sergeant Reese, who had been fine just moments before, suddenly turned pale and covered his mouth in horror.

[Heroine profile]

Name: Patricia

Height: 172cm / Difficulty: S

Progress: 20% / Affinity level: 2

And only then is the heroine profile printed. There was no difference from what I saw before, but the reason it appeared now rather than immediately after meeting her was probably related to the change in her mood.

“Indeed… . It’s been four years.”

Dozens of tentacles stretched out from Karjen’s back, who was muttering quietly, and surrounded Patricia.

“This is an honor, that the famous fox knows me.”

“Shut up.”

In response to Patricia’s grumpy attitude, one of Karjen’s tentacles rushed at her. But Patricia did not block or dodge. The tentacle that had stretched out bit into his neck –

Breaking away from school!

It exploded, spraying blood everywhere.

“ugh–. What is this… .”

Seeing Karjen complaining of pain, Patricia laughed again.

“Ahaha. You react quickly. If you had just accepted my blood… . That must have been really fun.”

blood. plague. infection. It was easy to predict what would happen with just a few keywords.

The compatibility is bad. If there’s a fight with Patricia, I’ll have to exclude Karjen.

“What should I call you? Troublesome fox? An outcast nuisance? or not… . A nine-tailed fox that eats the liver of an innocent human?”

” How dare this bitch tear to death… .”

This is my first time seeing Karjen this angry. He was angry a lot to begin with, but if his usual anger was at the level of extreme anger, now he was really angry. It looked like he was going to rip Patricia to death at any moment.

What caused Karjen’s disgust? From the timing, it looks like he was reacting to the word nine-tailed fox… .

‘This might be an opportunity.’

What powers does Patricia have and how does she fight? There is nothing wrong with knowing this.

The problem is that in order to make Patricia use her power, she needs an opponent of a matching level.

Sergeant Reese has already suffered a mental breakdown, and Kerr is still stranded, so it seems like we can’t have any hopes. I don’t have the energy to begin with, and it would be a waste to use fever time.

In the end, all that remains is Karjen.

You never know. Maybe it’s because we’re in a weakened state that we’re falling behind in competition. If overwhelming power can gnaw away even compatibility, wouldn’t it be possible to achieve meaningful results of its own?

After thinking quickly, I stepped in between Karen and Patricia.

“Hmm. Are you stopping me now? I guess that fox is quite precious?”

“Master! Get out of the way now! I will definitely tear that bitch’s arrogant face to pieces!”

Contrary to their expectations, my intervention was not intended to stop the fight.

“Kayen.”

“There is no use in trying to stop you, my lord!”

I spoke calmly to Karjen.

“I will terminate the master-servant contract.”

“From this moment on, I am no longer your master, and you are no longer my servant.”

Just once, fight as hard as you want.
