The Paladin Owns the Relic

30 – Serpent Cult (12)

What is the Heretic Questioner?

Those who reject the church. Those who broke the doctrine and fled. Those who threaten and destroy the Order.

Radatoq called them all heretics. Many became enemies of the Order, and most of them fell under Radatokk’s sword.

I saw a lot of all kinds of things. I have also seen compatriots who fell for the devil’s whispers and became corrupted.

There was blood on Radatoque’s hand.

Blood that can neither be washed nor turned away. The blood that has to whip itself with agony.

But today, there was no blood on Radatoque’s hands. All that was buried was the bodily fluids of the monsters.

Just dirty blood that has no weight or depth of sin.

Radatorque threw away all the complicated past and memories. He brandished his weapon toward the battlefield.

He has a sword in his hand.

The body has holy power.

Radatorque enveloped the flames. All his anguish so far has not affected him as much as he did today.

Ra was in front.

Radathok saw the unwearying flame of the gods. He stretched out her hand towards her.

What he touched was a boy much younger than himself. A small apostle who captivates the battlefield with tireless courage and sincere faith.

Exclaimed Radatoque. I couldn’t stand the rising voice. Throwing off his usual seriousness, he went to the ‘holy war’.

“For the sake of Ra!!”

The voice cracked. My body, which had reached its limit, rattled as if it would collapse at any moment.

But Radatoq went ahead. He trampled the parasites and took a step forward. He crushed all who attacked him, and bathed in his blood and flesh.

The stench permeated my heart. But nothing happened. Rather, Radatoq was laughing heartily.

When was the last time you went into battle like this without thinking!

It was nice to be clear about what had to be done. Even if his body was at its limit and he was about to fall, he was able to move forward.

The god you trust and rely on is right by your side. You can prove your faith by burning the last firewood.

Layeo.

Watch over me.

I will not let your apostle fall before me!

. . .

The Serpent Church was a cold place. Isabella remembered the first time.

The moment it was picked up by an unknown priest. However, the beginning was not salvation at all.

Rather, it was the beginning of hell.

The Serpent Church has always lacked personnel. That’s why he took in orphans who had nowhere to go and forcibly made them believers. They forcibly branded them and forced them to do their duty as believers.

It was too harsh for a mere child to endure. I starved most of the day, worked most of the day, and suffered most of the day.

Isabella said she was thinking about it sometimes.

What would she be like if she had no talent?

Wouldn’t she be like another child who died painfully?

Get out.

What on earth is she thinking about leaving such a church alone?

“…Ah.”

But Isabella put her question aside for today. She played with the tip of her sword, digging into her thick carapace.

Her bodily fluids splattered. Although her body was defiled, Isabella was free. She had talents, but she had by her side a child who had tangled with God, whom she had never met.

A strange child.

A priest of the sun god, but one who is not hostile to the Serpent Church.

He was on his way. He faltered but did not stop, hesitated but stood firm.

Unfamiliar shadows mingled at the end of the blazing flames. Everyone missed it, but Isabella, who had trained her shadow spell to the limit, knew what it was.

Go out.

Naga stands behind him.

Isabella felt a surge of emotion. She was suspicious at first. But that soon turned into joy.

From noble mtl dot com

Naga never answered Isabella’s question. But when she reached her full death, she was belatedly answering through someone else.

It’s salvation.

A ray of light descended upon those who fell into hell.

“For the sake of going out!!!!!”

Her her god was helping her to keep her alive. Isabella saw her miracle and reached out her hand to grab it.

He supported the back of a boy who was falling down. We stood next to each other and took a step together.

Do not collapse.

I will sacrifice that child so that he does not collapse.

Even if that were the end of oneself, that would be the greatest courtesy one could give to a naga!

. . .

Oh sh*t!

That’s a lot of f*cking!

“Oh sh*t!”

I drove out the most disgusting parasites. Holy power regenerated quickly, but the fact that physical strength did not return caught my ankle.

I need to rest. However, I missed the timing to rest several times.

Holy War.

Wrong choice of words. When I brought up the word temple, everyone, including the Serpent Church and the Sun God, all rolled their eyes.

“For Ra!”

“For Naga!”

“Stop it! Let’s go take a rest!”

I couldn’t hear my voice anymore when I turned around. I stopped myself several times, but damn Radatoque and Isabella pushed me on the back.

“Brother! We will never fall!”

“Don’t worry! Zahard! If there is anyone who will fall before you, it will be me!”

“No! You can fall down!”

I had no choice but to attempt a forced breakthrough. Wet my throat with the pouring blood of the parasites and somehow made my way.

Fortunately, the path inside Bagnis’ body was the same as I remembered.

After trampling on the parasites and crushing the wall of flesh rushing in, the first gateway came out.

Puddles of blood.

The worms that wriggled and gathered in it gathered like a colony. An assembly of worms that take the form of a giant hand…

“Go away!”

From noble mtl dot com

No time to wait! If you wait, I’ll get tired and search!

“Explode!!!”

Wow!

I broke it right away. He blew the torch and blew away the entire colony.

Chwiiyip!

I trampled on the acrid smell and went straight ahead. f*ck the middle boss! They say that a youngster who is vulnerable to fire comes from somewhere!

As long as I chose the forced breakthrough, there was nothing I could see anymore. They burned everything and trampled on everyone. Grinding his teeth while watching the rapidly growing level and skill proficiency.

See if I fight again with the Heretic Questioner and the Serpent Cult!

“Many parasites on the front…!”

Quaaagh!

“The deformed exoscarp on the right…!”

Quaaa!!

“…The foot of a monster…”

Quaaa!!!!!!!!!!

The Heretic Questioners cheered in the bombardment of the flames that burst in succession!

“What the f*ck!”

“As expected, the apostle of Ra!”

“Let’s burn everything! Brother!”

“Shut up!”

I close my eyes.

From noble mtl dot com

No.

If you close your eyes, you really fall behind!

I gnashed my teeth and went on. I somehow conserved my stamina that had fallen to the floor. There really isn’t much left now.

Right in front of you.

I mercilessly tore through the wall of flesh. At first glance, it went through the same flesh wall as the others.

Pounding.

A loud heartbeat. I stepped into a completely different, quiet space.

I heard the parasites stop behind me. As I sighed and quickly retreated, people expressed their doubts.

“Could it be the end…?”

“Is the eye demon dead?”

Can’t that be?

This is really the end.

I took a step forward. But the next moment, the vision crashed.

In an instant, everything turned black. When I opened my eyes again, I was surrounded by Isabella and Radatoque.

“Brother! Are you okay?!”

“Zahad? Are you okay?”

It’s not okay.

It’s all because of you.

I stood up. There was no time to be still. The fact that the parasites have retreated means that the boss battle has already begun. If you delay, you will have no time to prepare.

“Sister. Get bitten behind the Serpent Cult.”

“Why?”

“The revelation has fallen.”

“A revelation?!”

Isabella opened her eyes wide. Radatoq asked urgently.

“What did he say?! Brother?!”

“They told me to subdue that demon. But they say it’s not easy.”

Radha Talk raised his head. He stared at the huge mass of flesh that pulsated with regularity.

“…Isn’t that the only thing that needs to be dealt with that looks like a heart?”

“It’s not that easy, so they must have given you a revelation, right?”

I took command quickly.

“The Heretic Questioner is in charge of the vanguard. Okay? Let’s push through a simple power struggle. No matter how old you are.”

“Just bursting the heart…”

“Impossible. As long as there are guardians, you can’t destroy that one. It’s covered in a strange black film just by looking at it, right? You can’t easily kill a demon.”

I glanced back at Isabella.

“Among the demons that will pour out soon, there are some particularly strong ones. Only those guys are taken care of by the Serpent Church. You can leave the rest to the Heretic Questioner.”

“What do they look like?”

“I can tell just by looking at it. It’s scary. It’ll be twice as big as the others, so you’ll be able to recognize it at a glance.”

The wall of flesh trembled greatly. I lowered my voice.

“If you don’t want to go through everything, get your mind right from now on. Until now, it was no different from children’s play.”

A hum was heard. The mighty heartbeat stopped.

[Vagueness looks at you.]

Heart opened.

Above it, dozens of huge eyes opened all at once.

The color of the eyes that rolls arbitrarily. One of them looked straight at me. Immediately, the rest of the pupils all looked at me.

The stopped sound started to resonate again. The regular sound collapsed, and the irregular thumping sound filled the huge bloody plaza.

“Ah… Ah…”

The snake followers trembled at the bizarre sight.

“Ah, it’s the devil.”

“The real devil.”

“Eye devil!”

“Die.”

“We will all die.”

“Dear God.”

“Dear God.”

I stretched my sword. I strained my eyes to keep closing them.

I should get older soon. Is it because it is a child’s body in a new country? Im so sleepy

[Vagueness calls the Guardian.]

[The ancient heart is full of longing.]

[Swallow your insatiable appetite even yourself.]

[The slumbering eye demon Vagueness is fully awakened.]

“Lada Talk. Isabella’s older sister. Please guide me.”

“What are you going to do, brother?”

“If I am here, someone will catch the guy who will come out soon.”

I raised my sword. I raised my gaze and glared at the wriggling heart.

The eyes split. Numerous fragments of flesh fell from the heart. The flesh that fell off in the irregular heartbeat twisted and changed its shape.

“…The devil.”

The snake follower murmured. But unfortunately, that’s not the devil.

Heartworm. Okay. They are the most powerful of all the parasites that Bagness has.

Keep.

Damn it.

One huge eye was ripped out. A huge arm crawled out of the falling flesh.

Six legs soaked with blood. Compared to the unusually long legs, the extremely short body groaned back and forth. Gleaming in the mucus, he stood upright.

Something that stands out among the countless pieces of flesh.

It’s big.

Too big.

It was so overwhelming that people just looked up at it. Not paying attention to the other falling parasites, I blankly chewed the huge red monster with my gaze over and over again.

Guardian of Bagness.

The final boss of this subjugation.

“…Grasshopper.”

I spat on the floor.

“Come on!”
