Chapter 6 Episode 61 – Attack on the Lord of Plague 1

“Keheuk… . fat… Let me go… .”

A scientist is in pain after being held by the neck.

“… … .”

Leon looked at him with an indifferent expression and lightly applied pressure to his hand.

Crack!

The scientist’s neck vertebrae broke too easily, and his weakened body fell down with a jerk.

The floor was full of corpses of people wearing similar clothes.

Leon was standing between them with a vain expression on his face.

“How do you feel?”

Zeke asked Leon.

“… It’s vain. I can’t believe I was afraid of these insignificant guys… .”

“That’s how revenge works. Research showed that this was the last remnant of Guinness. Now the perpetrators of the Granat Project no longer exist in the world.”

“… … One Scissor Girl would have been enough, but why did they bring me? Is it to get revenge?”

“There is that too… .”

chuck.

Zeke pointed to a huge safe attached to the wall.

“There is no one else who can open this safe except you.”

“I see. No problem. I will open it soon.”

Leon grabbed the handle of the safe and applied strong force.

The crushed safe could not withstand Leon’s strength and eventually opened the door.

“As expected.”

Zeke approached the safe and took out the purification stone hidden inside.

Then he patted Leon’s head and said,

“Rion, thanks to you, I was able to save a lot of time. Thank you for always helping me without saying anything.”

“… … Saying that again… . I’m glad it was helpful.”

Leon blushed and avoided Zeke’s gaze.

She couldn’t look at the face of the man in front of her right now because she didn’t know if she made a mistake and would end up attacking her like before.

“Ahh—. Zeke again—. You’re seducing a woman—.”

Kuen, who was watching the situation, shook off the blood from the kitchen knife and stabbed Zeke in the side.

“I guess I’m not enough—?”

“I’ve never seduced you.”

“Look at the face of our baby lion—. You’ve turned into a female lion… I’m not a baby anymore—.”

“Stop talking bullshit.”

Zeke put the purification stone into his inventory.

“Now. Let’s bounce before the crusaders come. Everyone, get ready to leave within 5 minutes.”

“Yes—.”

“… … I understand.”

As we came out of Ginner’s laboratory, Ryuka, in human form, peeked out from hiding behind a tree.

“Wow, Zeke… Is it all over?”

“Okay. I’m going back to the administration now.”

“Whoa… . Thank goodness.”

Zeke approached Ryuka without saying a word.

Then he raised his arm and stroked her head.

“Ugh, Huet? Zeke? Why are you saying that? ?”

“… … .”

Ryuka closed her mouth as she saw Zeke stroking her in silence.

Before we knew it, its protruding tail wrapped around Zeke’s leg.

Wrapping one’s tail around the leg of a person of the opposite sex was a typical courtship behavior among dragons.

“Ryuka.”

“Huh, yes… .”

“Are you brushing your teeth?”

“… Yes?”

“I’m asking purely out of curiosity. I wonder if even dragons brush their teeth.”

“That… After eating, I blow fire and cleanse my mouth… .”

“Oh. It’s definitely efficient because if you burn it with fire, all the germs will die.”

“Yeah, that’s right. lol… . But, that’s the end of what you want to say… Is it?”

“No.”

Kwaak—.

Ryuka unconsciously clenched her fists.

I felt my heart pounding and my chest getting hot as anticipation filled me.

“We’ll be leaving in 5 minutes, so get ready.”

However, after hearing Zeke’s words afterwards, my heated body cooled down.

“When I got to the scene, Jeong Hwa-seok was no longer there… .”

“No shame, Holy Mother.”

Gromwell bowed his head to Patricia.

After getting information about the Purification Stone from the Patriarch, the Crusaders searched throughout the empire to find the hidden Ginners. However, the base they finally found after a long search had already been annihilated by someone. Even after searching the entire laboratory, there was no Jeonghwa-seok.

“For such a thing to happen in a place where clairvoyance cannot reach… .”

Patricia does not have the power of clairvoyance. But it was possible to imitate it closely.

Her countless subordinates were spread throughout the empire and served as her eyes, and although they could not receive information in real time, they were able to regularly keep track of what was happening throughout the empire.

However, as her descendants have the shape of ‘rats’. It was not easy to access hygiene-sensitive spaces. Especially since Ginners’ laboratory was killing all the animals by releasing chemicals in the surrounding area. It was impossible for Patricia’s relatives to approach.

“We will investigate who stole the purification stone.”

“… … no. It’s okay.”

Patricia shook her head at Gromwell’s suggestion.

“There are people who can help.”

She had a small smile on her lips.

“Only the patriarch knew information about Jeong Hwa-seok. Since it was only recently that we found out, confidentiality itself was well maintained. So how did the culprit find out that Jeong Hwa-seok was with those scientists?”

“… … Maybe it was just a coincidence.”

“Do you think it was a coincidence? Do you really think that you have accidentally discovered the scientists who have been hiding from the Empire since the war?”

“It was a slip of the tongue.”

Patricia sighed softly.

Unlike other corrupt bishops, Archbishop Gromwell keeps him by his side because he thinks it will turn heads. It showed a lot of disappointment in many ways.

‘also… . I need him.’

Patricia remembered a man in her head. He always does something incomprehensible. However, if you know the results and look at his actions again, you can see that they are extremely reasonable and efficient actions.

A move in which cause and effect were reversed. I don’t know if that’s possible because I know the future, or if I’m looking at a huge picture that even I can’t understand.

What is certain is that he will be on his side.

Killing the God of Chaos would not be impossible.

“Our Lady. If you tell me who you can guess, I will retrieve the Jeonghwa Stone.”

Gromwell showed his own enthusiasm, perhaps trying to make up for his mistakes.

But Patricia shook her head again.

“… It will be impossible to retrieve the Jeonghwa Stone. he is… He’s not such a soft guy. Let’s watch the situation for now.”

“… … Okay.”

When told to wait and see the situation, Gromwell had doubts. But I couldn’t say it out loud. The Virgin Mary’s judgment was absolute, and she was in a position to follow it.

“Are there any additional matters to report?”

“No. Not anymore.”

“Then go back and rest.”

“… All right. I hope you have a peaceful night.”

Gromwell bowed his head in greeting and slowly left the room.

“… … Siegfried. It’s that guy again.”

Gromwell, walking down the hallway, said Zeke’s name.

Because the only man that the Virgin Mary would rate so highly is Zeke.

Gromwell was able to easily deduce the identity of the ‘him’ she mentioned.

“Perhaps the Virgin Mary had feelings for that man… ?”

It was a very probable suspicion.

He has a beautiful appearance that would captivate even a man, but how would he look to the Virgin Mary, a woman?

Gromwell couldn’t even imagine.

“Great work is just around the corner… . I should have gotten rid of that guy a long time ago.”

Gromwell grumbled and walked away for the secret meeting between the priests that would follow.

“… … .”

He couldn’t know that all his mutterings fell into the ears of an assassin who was absolutely loyal to ‘that man’.

After handing over the purification stone to Olivia, I lay down on the sofa in the director’s office and organized the things I had to do in the future.

First of all, Patricia will obediently cooperate with me if the situation is right. Ultimately, what she wants is the freedom of monarchs. If you realize that there is no need to destroy humanity for that. From her point of view, there is no reason to put in any effort.

But that doesn’t mean I can’t blindly ask you to trust me. No matter how highly she valued me, she wouldn’t think I was capable of killing the God of Chaos.

Unlike the Gray God, there are multiple entities, so each one is strong, but it is not at a level where there is no answer.

Because there is only one god of black, the god of chaos.

But in the end, if killing the God of Chaos is the only way to conquer it, there must be a way. Because this is a game. There is definitely a route to clear it.

In any case, what I have to do is upset Patricia’s plan so that she has no choice but to listen to me.

To do that, we must first cure all citizens using the cure and Supernova.

Next, we must deal with all of her means of force, including Lot and the temple chief.

“… … Mariela.”

“Yes, Director.”

“Send a message to Kyra.”

“What should I send it to?”

“… Something urgent has come up, so come back quickly.”

“You want me to come back? Even though I’m on vacation… ?”

Mariela asks if she heard correctly.

This is natural, as we have never forced employees who went on vacation to return.

“It’s a very urgent matter. Additionally, please write that you will also bring your ‘master’ with you.”

I need to start conquering Philia soon.
