The Four Gods Religion is taking root in China.

The headquarters manages hundreds of branches and also houses head vacancies.

The huge cavity located deep underground is immersed in darkness.

It was originally dark, but now even the original light source has disappeared.

Gyeol-won’s face, hidden in the darkness, was distorted.

Absolutely! A bursting sound rang out from within my body. It is the sound of something being twisted and broken in the wrong direction.

I opened my eyes wide.

A vein burst in my eye. Blood added to the dark vision.

Gyeol-won gritted his teeth.

“Gurg, purr…!”

Blood bubbles leaked out from my clenched teeth.

This is because he used necromancy beyond his abilities and is still manifesting it today.

This wasn’t the plan.

There was no intention of carrying out the plan in such a insufficient situation.

The body of a two-headed poisonous dragon was rescued with great difficulty. Although it is not complete, we are making up for the shortcomings by obtaining by-products little by little.

The offerings were also insufficient. In order to bring about a high-level existence that went against the grain for a long time, a significant price was needed.

Branches were established in each district of China. Believers were dispatched to procure bugs to be used as sacrifices. I almost ended up getting stepped on by the Association once, but I managed to escape.

After that, I acted cautiously. The plan was delayed by lowering the quality and quantity of the offerings. Great attention was paid to safety and security.

Nevertheless, some crazy people have recently come in and started destroying the branch that supplies and receives sacrifices.

It was something that would make his blood boil and make him so angry, but Gyeol-won gritted his teeth and endured it.

The miscellaneous thing of being without face-to-face.

The believers are quite skilled at catching and killing them. There is also news that it is the executive branch of the association. If Gyeong-won steps forward and kills Mu-myeon, there is a risk that he will be caught again.

Those bastards from Taesan.

Even the successor is creeping in and causing havoc. If Gyeong-won steps forward, he can be killed. But the aftermath is difficult to bear.

What if I kill you? This time, the entire strength of the Association, which has regained its grip, and Taesan, which has lost its successor, will be trapped in this land.

That’s why I endured it.

I prepared to hide deep again. It’s a shitty thing to do, but we’ve been patient for decades. It was possible to hold out for a few more years.

God made a revelation.

Don’t hide too deeply, make your plans right away.

Kill Taesan’s heir, and more than that, kill the bastard named Mu-myeon.

That’s why it was held, and Gyeongwon is receiving backlash for his actions that exceeded his capabilities.

“Clrrrut…!”

My vision becomes blurry. I’m losing my mind.

In the dark void, I could see death approaching.

That’s not scary. Rather, for Gyeolwon, who worships the god of death, death was no different from the entrance to paradise that he would one day face.

This should be welcomed, but not now.

The revelation has not yet been completed.

It is a revelation delivered directly by the God of Death. It must be accomplished no matter what the sacrifice.

Gyeongwon was ready to sacrifice his life at any time for martyrdom, but even so, Gyeongwon lacked the ability to achieve revelation.

Something that would have been impossible originally.

There was God’s blessing. He suddenly demonstrated necromancy beyond his capabilities. A higher power that was not his own, but far away, came to him.

I succeeded in necromancy, which would have never been possible originally.

Although the level was low, he was able to make the two-headed poisonous dragon his commander, albeit imperfectly.

Instead, a huge backlash came.

“Uuuu…!!”

My insides turn inside out. The circuit twisted and the core creaked.

A sharp pain struck me as if my whole body was being torn apart by a shredder.

The moment I lose my mind even for a moment, my body feels like it will explode.

My face was automatically distorted by the backlash of magical power and spirits randomly colliding inside me.

‘The recoil… is stronger than expected.’

Necromancy is a complex art that requires knowledge of manipulating corpses that have lost their physical bodies and the souls extracted from such corpses.

Moreover, the command that will manipulate it is a two-headed poisonous dragon who was measured as a 3rd rank alpha.

Even if you are fully prepared, it is a very difficult task.

Such a commanding ceremony was carried out in a half-hearted manner.

There were not enough corpses of the two-headed poisonous dragon. There were many parts that were lost. Above all, it was not possible to fill the head that would contain unique abilities.

There are not enough offerings. Although it was filled to a large extent, the lack of offerings led to a significant decline in quality.

The burden on the caster also doubled.

Gyeol-won turned his head.

Behind him were believers sprawled on the floor. They all worship the Shinigami and are believers who practice necromancy in their own way.

Everyone died. He could not hold out even for a moment and died instantly. In fact, it was no different from a sacrifice to reduce the burden of vacancy. They were martyred, rejoicing that their lives were being accepted by the envoy.

Nevertheless, Gyeol-won was facing death. If there were no martyrs who served as sacrifices, they would not have been able to withstand the gap and would have burst to death.

“What a great joke. I can’t tell who the corpse is.”

A peaceful voice pierced Gyeong-won’s ears.

Beep… It was at the same time that I heard the sound of blatant steps amidst the ringing tinnitus.

A man walked towards Gyeolwon, where there was at least a light source.

A pale light illuminated the man. Bright red eyes and hair were revealed.

“Tsk tsk…”

Believers who had died under the man’s gaze came in.

Above the skin, a magic circuit that was necrotic or exploded was revealed. Blood is pouring out from all the holes in the face.

The man’s face crumpled.

They are calling that kind of thing martyrdom. They’re not really crazy people.

“What are you doing…”

Gyeol-won barely opened his mouth. Even talking now was an arduous task as I endured the backlash.

“Specifically? There were so many rumors about it that I just came to see it.”

When I said that I had endured the hard work and accomplished it, the answer I got back was something like that.

Gyeol-won’s face distorted.

“Oh, could your face be more distorted there? What a face.”

“It’s crazy… you can’t distinguish between… big things?”

“I’ll just say it to you, it’s of no use to us, right? Don’t insert it this way.”

“Bullshit… Even your God wants war… That’s right─”

“God?”

Gyeong-won’s words suddenly stopped.

The person who interrupted the conversation blinked blankly as if he did not understand.

As if he understood what I meant, he opened his mouth and let out a small exclamation.

“God? That? Haha!”

Then he laughed out loud. Loud laughter spread throughout the community. Gyeol-won’s brow furrowed as the high-pitched sound resonated in his head.

“Crazy guy. I worshiped that thing like it was a god.”

The words that followed were so frustrating that they became miserably distorted.

Pap-duk! Gyeol-won’s teeth gritted. A terrifying cracking sound rang out from teeth that were already cracked.

Gyeong-won glared at the man with wide-open eyes.

“That guy…! It’s not like that, keep that snout…!”

“What kind of command is that? Why are you the boss in the first place? The dirty one is over here. Don’t treat me like a cult just like you.”

Gyeol-won, who was dying, burst into life. The necromancer’s murderous spirit had reached its peak and encroached everywhere.

A normal person would faint just by being exposed to it for a short period of time.

The man facing him was not disturbed at all. On the contrary, he snorted and unleashed his momentum to kill himself in one go.

thud! The walls of the cavity rang with shock. Crumbs fell from the ceiling.

“Pfft…”

“No matter how much of a toothless tiger I am, do you think I would be pushed around by an old man in the back room like you?”

The man frowned, raising the corners of his mouth.

“If you want to do everything even in that short period of time, just stay still. I can cut it off before it dies naturally. I’ll just look around and then go.”

Gyeongwon is dying. And it won’t be long before I die. Of course, how you react will determine whether you live a few more days, weeks… or even hours.

From the man’s perspective, it won’t last for several months.

Silence followed for a moment.

“Ha.”

The silence was broken.

Gyeol-won burst into laughter with blood bubbles in his mouth.

“Funny, military.”

“Huh?”

Do you really want to die? The man blinked.

“You will be nothing more than a servant, subordinate to God… You cannot kill me based on your own judgment.”

“……”

The man’s face became cold at the words that followed.

Living did not happen. The hand of the man, who just showed an emotionless expression, moved.

The moment I tried to grab the sword hanging from my waist, my hand stopped. It looks frozen, as if caught by something in the air.

Puzzle. Veins appeared on the back of my hand. My fingers were shaking.

– Howling!

A fire broke out. Sticky, dark red flames flickered in his grasp.

But the hand didn’t move.

“… You fucking bastard.”

Soon the man muttered a small curse.

It was an insult to the old man who dared to kill him in front of him, and at the same time to the damn thing that controlled him.

I relaxed my hands. The flames died down.

Then the power that held on to action disappeared.

“A Mr. Pal. When I looked at it, it looked like it was going to fall apart quickly, so I thought it would just go back.”

The man crumpled his arrogance and turned around.

Gyeongwon spoke to such a man.

“Don’t worry… I will achieve revelation and head to paradise.”

The man’s steps suddenly stopped.

“Achieve and move on…? Well, that’s fine. I don’t think I’ll achieve anything.”

“…On what basis do you dare deny God’s revelation?”

The man thought for a moment, then turned his head and glanced at Gyeongwon.

“Just feel it.”

“…Crazy, thing.”

An answer that wasn’t even worth answering.

Gyeol-won’s face crumpled.
