Chapter Index

    I was trying to get up in a hurry in confusion, but I couldn’t stand the rising dizziness and started to stagger. Then, the Pope naturally reached out his hand and caught me.

    “Don’t move too quickly, Apostle. You almost died a moment ago.”

    “Disgusting… stalker bastard… You know even if I don’t say it, right?♡”

    “In my defense, I’m not a stalker. I just came because it was time.”

    The Pope desperately tried to block the piece, but the backlash from earlier was too great for him to do so.

    “Saint, please support the apostle.”

    I look around while being held in Faby’s soft arms.

    His friends look at the Pope with eyes full of hostility, but they are unable to move.

    Even a single monster called Rasha is overwhelming, and with even the Pope’s powerful men guarding it, there is nothing we can do.

    Frey is ready to rush in at any moment, but Arthur seems to be desperately holding him back.

    Yeah, good job. If we let that idiot run wild, we’re going to have a mess.

    “It was good that you used Cardinal John to create a pretext and deal with the confusion, but you should have known that everything that happens in the church is in my ears. And that the authority I have cannot be stopped by Cardinal John alone.”

    “Fuck…♡ What the…♡”

    “And one more thing. I don’t really care about reputation. As long as I finish this job, I’ll be able to take the position of the Pope and whatever.”

    Joy is evident in the Pope’s tone.

    It is unclear whether he is unable to hide his emotions or whether he is intentionally provoking them with laughter, but one thing is certain: that laughter is real.

    Because the piece of the evil spirit is a very important item in his plans.

    “Now this is the last. It is a bit irreverent, but I just saved your life, so please listen calmly. Apostle. Will you come with me?”

    This question was completely unexpected.

    Are you crazy?

    Is the position of an apostle of the Lord so important?

    Could it be that this kid is also a pedophile like the one you mentioned?

    A lot of questions pass through my mind.

    “I swear to God that I will not hurt you even a little. Of course, I will not attack you mentally. I just want you and your master to see the end of my work.”

    Haha. Is that so? It’s self-sacrifice and self-indulgence, and you want to be acknowledged by the being you believe in.

    I gather my thoughts as I look at the Pope’s smiling eyes.

    Since I swore an oath to the Holy Father, the Pope will really not attack me in any way.

    Even if there was someone who tried to harm me, I wouldn’t be satisfied with just cutting off their head, I would try to capture their soul and torture them for eternity.

    Because I did that to the guys who actually hurt Faby in the game.

    Even leaving my safety aside, this offer isn’t so bad.

    It’s not pleasant to be close to threatening, but the fact that you can see the Pope’s plans from the side is attractive. You can make a fuss whenever you want.

    ‘Surprisingly, it’s safe. If you follow the Pope, you won’t die no matter what you do?’

    Besides, the Pope won’t be angry even if I make a fuss.

    As long as you don’t cross the line, you’ll be sad, but it’ll stop there.

    I don’t know if I can avoid crossing the line though.

    ‘More than anything, if I follow, I can find out where the plan is.’

    ‘I don’t know. It’s completely random.’

    “Your Majesty, Lucy Allen is a person of our kingdom.”

    The moment I was about to nod, Arthur stepped forward.

    “If you try to kidnap me, it will be difficult.”

    “Kidnapping, you three princes of Soladinn. This is a promotion.”

    “The words may change, but the actions seem to be the same.”

    “Lucy is the only daughter of the Count Aln, the hero of the kingdom. Your Majesty. At the very least, if even this is difficult, I think it would be right to ask for permission from the Count Aln.”

    Joey blocks my path as he follows Arthur.

    He is trying to persuade the Pope by holding back the urge to scream right away.

    But I know that the Pope, who pretends to listen to what the two are saying, is actually not paying attention at all.

    “You two. I can declare a holy war against Soladi right now. Trying to resurrect the evil spirit is a rebellion against the Lord.”

    “That was the sole action of a few people.”

    “The problem is that he is the King of Soladien.”

    The Pope, who had silenced Arthur with one word, patted him on the shoulder.

    “If I declare a holy war, leaders of other nations will be willing to fight for their beliefs. Do you understand? I am moved by the sacrifices shown by the former apostles, and I am about to do something that should not be done.”

    The Pope is not talking about simple war. With one word from him, Soladien becomes a demonic nation that seeks to revive the evil god Agra.

    Even if Pavie takes this side, it won’t make much of a difference, even if a few cardinals raise their voices on Pavie’s side.

    How can nobility be attractive to a leader?

    “Stop talking nonsense! Those who didn’t even acknowledge Lucy’s existence!”

    The moment the Pope nodded and passed the two people, Joy suddenly shouted and stood in front of the Pope.

    “Lucy was afraid of His Majesty! But now what!? You’re going to hit us in the back of the head and take Lucy away!?”

    “Lady of the Patran family. I’m sorry about that. But it’s okay now. I’ll fix it myself. ”

    “Your Majesty! No. I don’t even want to call you that! You! I don’t trust you!”

    Unlike the veins on her neck, Joy’s hands, hidden behind her back, were trembling.

    What’s scary about this situation right now is that she knows she’s in danger. But even so, Joy doesn’t back down.

    “You say that as if you knew everything, but what have you been doing all this time!? While Lucy! This little girl! Risked her life fighting the evil spirit! What have you been doing!”

    “Partran Youngae.”

    “Nothing! You did nothing! What did you do when Lucy was suffering because of the curse you put on her!? No! You didn’t even know Lucy existed back then!”

    Arthur, who had been listening to Joy’s screams, nods and takes hold of the King’s sword. Frey, as if she had been waiting, carves her own aura onto the pure white sword.

    “You said before!? You know everything that happens in the church! Then all the nightmares that happen in the church are because of your help! It’s disgusting! Even in the so-called den of social circles, there’s no trash like you!”

    “Your words are too harsh.”

    The Pope’s direct knights, who had been silent until now, opened their mouths, but Joy’s momentum did not diminish.

    “That’s too much!? While you were stuck in the Holy Land sucking your thumbs, Lucy risked her life to save the world several times! And all they gave her in the Holy Land was boos! Is that still too much!? I, I think what you fucking sloppy little shits are doing is too much?!”

    The expressions of those around him became dumbfounded at the insult that threw away the dignity of a nobleman, and Rasha, who was one step behind him, burst into laughter.

    “As expected of a disciple of Erginus! This is what it takes to be a hero!”

    The Pope turned his head quickly, silenced Rasha with just a look, and smiled at Faby.

    “Saint, please calm your friend down.”

    “Paybee!”

    Faby, who met Joy’s and the Pope’s eyes at the same time, paused for a moment, then approached Joy, telling her to wait a moment.

    “Please! You know! Fabi!”

    “Thank you, Saint.”

    “No, you don’t have to thank me, Your Majesty.”

    And then he turned his head towards the Pope.

    “What… does it mean?”

    “In a very vulgar way, it means, “Hey, eat some taffy!””

    Faby, who had been spewing out foul language with a trembling voice, closed her eyes tightly and glared at the Pope, who was at a loss for words.

    “I know my past. I know that Your Majesty condoned the evil deeds. And yet I said nothing. But this time, I can’t do that.”

    “Saint. You are an apostle of the great Lord. If you are not elected by the Lord’s church, where will you be elected?”

    “There is no need to honor him. What authority do we have to acknowledge the one you have chosen? This is truly disrespectful. I am disappointed. Your Majesty.”

    The Pope and Phoebe were smiling at each other, but their eyes were not like that. In either case, they were keeping their eyes wide open so as not to be pushed away.

    Just as the argument was about to resume, Rasha intervened between the two.

    “Sigh. You guys are so frustrating. Just keep talking. You’ll get a conclusion.”

    “The story isn’t over yet.”

    “It’s over. Old lady. It’s simple. They won’t give up their friend even if it means dying, and we’re going to take that bratty brat anyway.”

    “So you’re not persuading me.”

    “You can’t do it. You’re crazy. Only crazy people are convinced by crazy people’s ramblings. And unfortunately, that person seems sane.”

    Only when Rasha stepped forward did the Pope, who had been frozen for a moment, open his mouth.

    “So what are you going to do?”

    “This is easy too. That little brat is cocky but kind, right? He’ll know to follow when his friends are half dead.”

    Rasha, who was approaching with a shrug, suddenly swings her fist. That’s dangerous. If you get attacked like that!

    “Wow. You’re strong?”

    Frey’s sword blocks Rasha’s fist. Rasha’s eyes widen, as if she didn’t expect her attack to be caught.

    “No matter how gently you try to stop it, it will be blocked.”

    “That kind of excuse?”

    “Hahaha! Ah! That’s great! I’m following that old lady around and feeling rewarded for the first time!”

    As Rasha gains momentum, the church’s knights also raise their weapons.

    Damn it. If this goes on, I can’t just say I’ll follow along.

    ‘I told you, they’re really annoying.’

    He staggers and raises his shield. He feels better after resting a bit. He can probably deal with those fucking knights who think they are faithful.

    ‘Why is he always a beat late? Wasn’t losing his girlfriend enough?!’

    The moment I stepped forward with a light smile, divinity poured into my body.

    A warm divinity that is neither Faby’s nor the Pope’s.

    Phew! Phew!

    What the heck. I just cursed at the loner wizard, but you feel offended?

    “You fucking punks over there♡”

    This time, I’ll just say thank you.

    “Are you ready to become the enemy of Gaehupjeong?♡”

    Armadi.
