The party members seemed to have somewhat adapted to the blue fog.

Even if Luna wasn’t by their side, each of them was blazing their own way through the ruined royal capital.

“I always feel this, but everyone is dependable.“

“Okay.. we just have to walk.“

As Luna and Nemesis said, there was no battle on the way to the cathedral.

All the monsters in front had already been dealt with.

-Drur…

-Klick..Klick..

Still, the possessed equipment hidden at every corner of the road appeared and interfered.

In this royal labyrinth, there were more skeletons and moving objects than zombie-type monsters.

No, since it had been hundreds of years since the destruction, I thought it was strange that corpses with flesh attached still existed.

“Fire.”

-pop!

My flame magic turns the ghost monster into ashes.

They couldn’t even get close to us.

“Awesome Jageun..!“

“You became stronger because of the protection of another goddess… Wow.“

As expected, they were high-level party members, so I immediately noticed that I had become stronger.

After all, who would hug a woman during battle?

“I have to become stronger to protect my woman.“

“Awesome. Jageun!“

Luna’s bean pod was wrapped tightly, and her eyes sparkled no matter what I did.

That’s why I also really loved Luna.

As much as I want to hug him tightly and bite him right now.

“Tch..I want to protect you.“

Nemesis, as a goddess, wanted to protect me.

Because you are in a higher position.

He wanted to guide me, whom he valued.

Although the two felt different, their feelings for me were the same.

In the past, they tried to sacrifice me somehow, but now… hehe.

Now we were colleagues moving forward together.

That alone made me feel happy.

“Ah~ Isn’t there a beautiful woman passing by~ I want to join our party~”

“Looking for a girl here… I feel this sometimes, but you really don’t seem like a person.“

“Hehe.. I like it. I believe that Jageun will save all beauties!“

There were some party members who were dissatisfied with my plan, but there were none who completely rejected my wishes.

-Quuk…

“Ugh..“

Because you had a great time with me just a moment ago.

To some extent, he was following my words.

And they both knew how happy this relationship was.

“Where is the woman here? Even if she does, there are only skeletons and ghosts..”

“Well, what if it’s a ghost? It’s okay if it’s pretty.“

“Yes..if that’s you.. kekeut..“

If Nemesis, full of rebellious spirit, agreed, it was the same as the other party members agreeing.

With such ambition, I arrived at the cathedral, which looked relatively fine.

“Why are you so late?“

“Nya~“

I saw three beauties resting in front of the cathedral.

Sister Kolya was the first to shout with a bored expression.

“Jageun was walking around looking for a beautiful woman!“

Sister Kolya’s expression became darker at Luna’s shout.

“Haha~“

“What..are you smiling! We didn’t come here to have fun!“

Sister Kolya looked at me full of mischief and complained as if she was frustrated.

“I’m sorry, sorry, Colia. I’ll focus.“

“You said you wouldn’t do it.. If it had been later, the three of us would have gone in.“

When she was alive, older sister Kollia was an adventurer who valued efficiency and time.

So, when he came to the labyrinth instead of the village, he showed more passion than anyone else.

“Because I’m sorry. This time, I will try to clear the path by myself first. Sister Kolya.“

“Do you think it would be possible alone..? You… barely blocked my sword. No matter how much I cut that barrier, it’s useless.“

“It’s different from then and now. So do you want to bet? If I solve that, I win. If you can’t do it, your sister wins.“

“Bet? Hehe… good! If you win, you get what you want!“

“Call!“

I decided to play with my older sister Kolya to soothe her agitated sister.

Because adventurers like to bet.

I used this method, and as expected, Sister Kolya accepted it right away.

“I prefer Jageun.“

And the party members also started betting.

Angelica gave me a wink.

“Nyaa. There’s a lot of energy in there. I’m Colia. It took me a year to break through.“

“I am Jageun! Jageun is strong!“

“Me too, Jageun. Even though this guy is weird, he can handle things like this easily..“

Many colleagues raised their hands in my direction.

If so, you have to live up to it.

“Transformation.“

I didn’t hesitate.

I faced the cathedral with the same skills I saw.

“What..what..the atmosphere has changed..“

“Hehe. Because you have to win the bet. Sister.“

Strange gray energy flowing throughout the body.

On the outside, you may not feel that there is much difference from the previous transformation, but…

That’s right.. there is no big difference.

I thought I had gotten better, so I used it when confronting God. But there was no change in appearance compared to when I used the existing transformation.

If you are looking for something different…

I wonder if this gray energy has penetrated my body and even my soul.

So I was able to use thicker and more powerful power.

“I’ll take care of it quickly.“

I entered the cathedral as if I had been teleported.

“””Naaa.. ah.. haaa..“””

Upon entering the cathedral.

I saw ghost priestesses with their hands folded.

Many priestesses came to protect their cathedral.

No, he was making endless voices that prevented him from entering the center of the royal capital.

“Thank you all for your hard work.“

Approaching the priestesses.

A sound wave containing a curse flew out and made my whole body tingle.

But… it’s impossible to stop Master Park Ja-geun, who passed God’s ordeal just like this!

I firmly resisted the low-frequency barrier and approached the priestesses.

“How did we get here.. You can’t go into the city anymore..“

“Cannot be sent in..”

The priestesses were very wary when they saw me breaking in.

“Aren’t you having a hard time..”

“We can protect it only with us..“

“Don’t worry. Because it’s nothing..”

These are priestesses who do their best to protect something.

They were truly here.

I wasn’t deluded or controlled by anything.

These people were purely creating a barrier.

“I feel sorry for the priests here more than those who deserve protection. How can it be possible to stay here for hundreds of years..“

“We.. are okay.“

“Everything is for the Kingdom of Shuru..“

The priestesses guarding this place think this is normal and say it’s okay, but…

I felt it.

The sadness and despair of women.

“I guess I have to become an invader to save you all.“

“No. If you go to the city center…!“

“Many people will be in danger..!“

These were priestesses who cared more about those inside than themselves.

But I decided to destroy the power of the priestesses by force.

“Withdrawal from contract.”

The new blood magic that eroded the gray power appeared.

Suspicious patterns and letters caught the barrier emitted by the priests.

“Ah.. Our myth barrier is..“

“It’s collapsing in vain like this..“

I thought this cathedral was the only one with a barrier, but when I looked closer, I saw that it was there.

In order to enter the center of the royal capital, one had to break through the voice barrier maintained by these ghost priestesses.

“…I’m sorry. Priests. I wanted you to see the essence.“

“If it is the essence…“

“Yes.. I hope you know exactly what you were trying to protect and protect it.”

A huge screen was seen behind the cathedral.

It broke through the priests’ barrier and at the same time tore down that suspicious screen.

“Ah..“

“This.. makes no sense..!“

The priestesses are facing and talking behind the screen.

“That is the truth.“

The royal capital center had already been destroyed.

A castle full of fear and evil energy…

Numerous spiritualized monsters were swarming around.

“How did this happen..!”

“Wow..the royal road is already..“

The priestesses were in despair.

It was believed that the brilliant kingdom was being protected through the suspicious curtain that covered the cathedral.

But the truth was the opposite.

“You have been seeing lies up until now.“

“Ah..ah..!“

“Black..black.. The things we did..black..“

It was believed that the priestesses were working hard to protect the royal capital even as ghosts.

But the reality was that the labyrinth was being guarded.

“black black..“

“Kwaaang..!“

“…I’m sorry. You came late.“

All the priestesses were sad and wailed.

Although they were ghosts, they looked like living people.

“…Who told you to create this barrier?“

“black black..“

“The prince…“

“This is the prince. Sigh..“

Was it the prince of this kingdom who ordered you to protect the ruined saints?

Probably not…

I thought it was clear that Migung was playing the role of a prince.

When I looked at it that way… it seemed like this labyrinth guy liked playing with people’s hearts.

“Uh..Hey! Jageun!“

While I was thinking about the labyrinth, my curious older sister, Colia, came into the cathedral.

“Uh~ Sister. I think it was resolved well.“

“I can tell that just by seeing that the barrier has disappeared.“

Sister Kolya came closer to me and drew her sword.

“I guess I lost the bet.. Let’s take care of the rest first..“

“No. Wait a minute, those aren’t monsters.“

As I stood in front of the ghost priests, Sister Kolya tilted her head and stopped in front of me.

“…Jageun. No matter how much you like women, ghosts are a bit…“

“If you think about it that way, your sister is also a monster, so why..“

“…Is that so…?“

I was convinced right away and put my sword away.

“black black black..“

“All the things we have done…“

Sister Kolya looked at the sad priestesses and then looked at me.

“What’s wrong with them?“

“I think I’ve seen the lies created by Migung so far. They truly believed that they were protecting the royal capital with their own strength.“

“Umm.. I don’t know what you’re talking about, but.. you mean I was deceived?“

“Well..something like that..“

After Colia came in, other party members also came into the church one by one out of curiosity.

“Is this place nice?“

“…It’s so sacred that monsters can’t enter.“

“Maybe I can spend today here?“

“Still.. I’m scared of ghosts..“

The cathedral guarded by ghost priestesses was a very good place to use as a base.

“Hey! You guys, don’t drag your feet, if you want to attain Buddhahood, do it quickly!“

Of course, it was all good, but there were still many ghost priestesses in sorrow, which made Nemesis uncomfortable.

“Hehe. Don’t be like that. Everyone stays because they feel unfair.“

“Ma.. That’s right. Nemesis. How could we have been here for hundreds of years.. sob.. I’m in tears too. Nemesis..!“

“Whether it is or not, you still disturbed us!“

It was the goddess Nemesis who could not sympathize with the sensibilities of the priestess.

Of course, Luna and I understood very well.

How unfair and heartbreaking it must have been.

There were so many things I wanted to do and I dreamed of finishing this difficult work.

Even when they faced the truth, the women’s resentment did not easily disappear.

“Nemesis. Can’t you make this cathedral your temple with the priestesses over there?“

“What? Why should I do that?“

“It’s pitiful~ Let’s accept those priestesses as believers~“

“A place like this is being turned into a temple just to receive those spiritual bodies? Ugh.. I hate it! Only dirty energy will come in!“

“Why baby~ Because I will take good care of you.“

“You..you! It seems obvious! You think I don’t know that you’re doing this because you want to sleep with those spirits!?“

“Ah~ Did you get caught? This is why the quick-witted goddess…“

-Kwaak..!

“Huh..! Let go of this!“

“Hehe. Nemesis~“

“Even if you are so attached and like it, it will never be possible..!“

Nemesis said no.

But let’s see if I can hate it until the end.
