Chapter 336 – The Proof of God
#336.
A week after that day, Gaon was in the middle of demonstrating a new technique in the training room.
Aaaaa…
The powerful suction power from his left hand gradually weakened and the trembling in the space stopped.
Now, the level of completion has improved considerably, and it seems that it can be used in practice.
“Whoa… I don’t know what the effect will be.”
The concept and use of this technology are clear.
At the same time as receiving an attack, it absorbs it and uses it as its own power, while at the same time releasing it more powerfully to counterattack.
In fact, there is not much difference from the Dragon Tornado he used in the fight with the Doppelganger King, but instead, the efficiency and stability are much improved.
In order to use Yongoreum, it is essential to combine creativity.
It is a technique that is used as if throwing the whole body directly into one with the spear.
It must be backed by unwavering solid concentration and extremely delicate mana management.
Therefore, in case of failure, the risk was extreme because the opponent’s attack would be received from the front.
On the other hand, even if a mistake is made in mana management, the new technology still works as an artifact, so it can offset the power of the attack a little.
In the first place, thanks to the aid of the artifact, one of the big advantages was that it was less burdensome.
However, it is unclear whether the results will be able to fully meet those expectations.
“Well, maybe I can try it out soon.”
In any case, it is not bad to unveil a new technology in a sparring with Rivera.
If it’s that woman, even if she takes one hit, she’ll be content with the fact that she’s seen the new technology.
I was sitting on a bench thinking about looking for it tomorrow morning when the communicator I put next to me vibrated violently.
“Hello?”
– Guild leader! You must come out now! The Guardians of the Healing Church have arrived!
“You mean Guardians? I will leave right now.”
Gaon immediately went down to the first floor lobby.
Actually, I expected it. The church would want to control information about the Demon God no matter what. It is only natural that they would try to secure as many demons as possible to shake their position.
So, he must be dissatisfied with Lucipeon who snatches demons at will.
Since she was focused on speed, she didn’t move particularly stealthily, so she thought it was time to come.
When she arrived on the first floor, she saw two men and women standing at the entrance and a group of people confronting each other.
The counter clerk was hiding under the desk and observing the situation with only his eyes open.
Gaon pushed through her party and met the Guardians head-on.
“What have you come for?”
“I am Revan Marti, the 8th Guardian of the Healing Church. Hyuugaon, the leader of the Savior Guild. Information has been obtained that you colluded with the demons. As an important investigator, I will take you to the church.”
Perhaps he thought that even a single guild leader would not be able to refuse the church’s event, but a guy with only a 9-star rank at most came out arrogantly.
Gaon tilted his head and let go of his pretense.
“What are you talking about? I’ve never been like that before?”
“That is a matter for the Church’s Heretic Questioners to decide. Please follow me quietly.”
“What if you don’t like it?”
“I will take you by force.”
What I saw in my eyes was blind faith in one existence. That feeling, which can be seen as madness, gives Gaon unpleasant feelings.
His mouth twisted naturally, and provocative words and actions flowed out of his mouth.
“If you can, try it.”
“You dare to disobey the will of God?”
“Why is this the will of God? Are you the Pope God?”
“Innoooum! The Pope represents the will of God!”
“That is your idea. If you want to lead me, go for it.”
It was a car that I wanted to test a new technology, so it went well. When he openly provoked him by flicking his index finger, he opened his eyes, drew his sword, and charged.
At the same time, the divine power that surged from the whole body wrapped around the body to form armor and surrounded by the sword to form strong energy.
That is the most basic alpha and omega skill used by paladins.
“Be judged!”
It seems that his confidence has doubled as the splendid divine power surrounds his body.
Even though he must have been familiar with the information about Gaon, he insisted on a head-to-head fight.
‘Surprisingly, the other one doesn’t come forward.’
The guardians who came together were looking at the two with a calm face, as if there was no particular sense of fellowship among the guardians.
Gaon, wary of any possible intervention, stretched out his hand toward the sword that was right in front of him.
‘Darkness!’
Dark and dark.
A black hole formed in the palm of the hand, and at the same time as the suction power was generated, a cloud that rose up with a lump took over the place.
It was incomparable in power, but it reminded me of a black hole swallowing everything.
Kwagwagwagwa!
Standing in front of him, Guardian Levan Marti was like a moth to the fire.
Even the divine light that embraced him is swallowed up by the darkness and gradually fades.
It looked like he was throwing his body defenselessly into the jaws of a beast.
“Aaaaa!”
Gathering up courage, he let out a spirit and plunged his sword into the darkness.
Clearly Gaon is standing behind me. So it’s normal to hear the sound of piercing the fabric, but neither his ears nor his hands felt the sensation of piercing something.
In the meantime, the darkness that tightly bound the divine power was sucked into the hole at once, and Gaon appeared.
Light and darkness were intricately intertwined and compressed in his fist.
In a brief moment, the eyes of the two met.
Wow!
A thrusting fist shattered Levan Martini’s stomach.
“Gagging!”
The paladin, who had been rampaging with his weapon of fanaticism, was blown away by the blow, pierced through the wall of the guild, and was thrown into the street.
Even among the holy knights called guardians, it seemed unrealistic to see a man with a title that only the strongest could have, being crushed in a single blow.
Even the Guardian, who had been quietly watching, opened his eyes wide as if he was slightly surprised, as if it was unexpected.
Then, as if he remembered what he had to do, he slowly drew his sword and aimed it at Gaon.
The immediate situation that was placed once again came to an end with the appearance of a being.
“Wait a minute! Serilla, back off!”
“… A saint?”
Serendia Gracias, a saint of the Healing Church, jumped over the wreckage of the broken wall and came inside.
Following him, Levan Martini dragged along, and Alexander Baldert, the 5th Guard, walked along.
Serilla, the guardian called by her saintess, slowly swept her drawn sword and stepped back from her.
Gaon also softened his hostility and corrected his posture, and the saintess who had strode forward stood in front of him.
“Long time no see. Do you remember me?”
“Of course. You can’t remember the saintess.”
“Thank god. Nice to meet you… It’s a bit like saying that, right? Because that’s not the case. Currently, the church is focused on subjugating demons. Lucipeon and the guild leader are in a position to interfere with that. Do you have any intention of stepping down at this point?”
“… I’m sorry, but you can’t. Doesn’t the saintess know too? That the Church’s methods are not right.”
When she said that she would continue the confrontation, the saintess smiled bitterly, then glanced at Chorin and nodded her head.
“There’s nothing we can do. Be careful.”
“Yes. Thank you for your concern.”
“Enough then.”
The saintess alone cannot change what is being done at the church level. For her part, she was unable to do anything other than give her warning.
Gaon looked at the lethargic back in silence and let out a deep sigh.
“I’m going to be a bit of a nuisance from now on.”
Above all, it would take a considerable amount of time to repair the broken wall, so in the meantime, I unintentionally opened the guild lobby.
Gaon was immersed in her troubles, recalling the meaningful eyes of the saintess when she stared at Chorin.
***
One day, more than two weeks after the Guardians’ visit, Gaon received a call from Louisiana and hurriedly headed to Lucipheon’s headquarters.
“Is it true, Rougiena? That she found a saint of the Demonic Cult.”
“That’s right. How did she know? She’s been in contact over there. The only problem is that we are currently surrounded by the powers of the Church.”
She had reached the tip of her saintess’s chin as if she hadn’t been completely absorbed in her church.
As far as her demons were concerned, her movements were one step faster compared to Lucipheon, as she had experience so far.
“Are you caught?”
“No. She says she’s still hiding in a hiding place and she doesn’t know when she’ll be found out. What should I do? Are you going to risk a collision with the church? Or do you just give up?”
“Of course I have to go. After all, isn’t it okay if you don’t get caught? If there is no evidence, there will be no questioning.”
She blindfolds and screams, but she says that she is not the person involved, but if she pushes against her without clear evidence, she will face a backlash.
As much as that, the power of Gaon’s power was formidable.
After the conversation, Gaon followed Roujiena’s guidance and hurriedly moved to the hideout where the demonic saintess was located with all of his party.
Pushing the air, Rougiena said.
“For now, there are only 5 Guardians there. Among them, the person to be most wary of is Gail Brave, the 2nd seat guardian. He has power comparable to that of a 10 star, and can even express authority. You have to be careful.”
“Sure. Leave the guardians to us, and focus only on securing her saintess.”
“… Okay. I will believe you.”
Stopping the Guardians is, after all, just a side branch for her. The most important thing is to secure the saintess of the Demonic Cult and acquire her information.
Since no one else can do that, Rougiena, who has the most detailed information about them, should take it.
After properly dividing their roles, they continued running and finally arrived at the mountain range where the hideout was located.
Despite being a treasure trove of nature where countless lives live, the surroundings were as quiet as not a single ant walking around.
Gaon raised his hand to check the mask.
‘Good. No problem.’
This time, we couldn’t leave any evidence to infer their identities, so everyone in the party wore masks enchanted with magic to impede recognition.
It was an item that Reinkel had secretly obtained through the Gray Horse Tower, which is the main tower.
“Then, Louisiana. I will lure Gale Brave, so break through the siege.”
“Huh. Please. I’ll be out for now.”
“Yes. Everyone be careful. Our role is to kill time. I just focus on hanging on.”
Finally, after giving advice to Yoo In-jo, Ga-on immediately shook off the momentum he had hidden in all directions.
Oh oh oh…
It is a wave that ordinary people would feel just eerie, but those who have a sense of humor, and those who have reached a higher level, will accept it as terrifying.
As if to prove him, there was an uproar on all sides, and half of those who were forming a siege began to gather around him.
Standing at the forefront was, of course, Gail Brave, the 2nd seat guardian.
It was only natural that he would have grasped the level of his power just by Gaon’s momentum.
After a while, Gaon confronted a muscular middle-aged man with a height of nearly 2m.
The momentum of the two collided and a shockwave spread.
“… There is no need to speak at length.”
“Okay. Because both want the same thing.”
“Then excuse me.”
Gale Brave pulled out a greatsword the size of a body that matched his appearance in the air and shot it as it surrounded a huge amount of energy.
Gaon held out his left hand lightly ahead of the huge rust-colored slash.
Artifact obtained by killing the Kraken. In the suction, the energies that he kept storing since he came are compressed to a very high density.
By releasing it all at once, it destroyed a gigantic slash.
Wow!
As the two energies collided, a shock occurred as if the world was turned upside down.
The ground was shaking and cracking, making it impossible to control one’s body easily.
Even in that state, Gaon sent a whole tone while maintaining his balance without shaking.
– Go now!
-Huh. Thank you!
Taking advantage of the chaos, Rougiena, who had been waiting, moved quickly and broke through the siege.
She was quickly stopped by her church’s paladins and her priests, but they couldn’t handle her.
In the end, Ruggiena safely broke through her encirclement and ran to her hideout where the demonic saint would be.
Gale Brave narrowed her eyes at the spot where her Lugiena had disappeared, then fixed her head on Gaon again.
There was a soft light shining in his eyes.
“You got it. Was this the purpose?”
“Well? If you’re curious, why don’t you knock it down and ask?”
“… I’d love to.”
Wow!
Gale Brave’s greatsword hit the floor and made a dull roar.
It was so heavy that it dug into the ground attesting to the strength of his strength.
And the moment their eyes crossed, the distance between the two instantly compressed to zero.
Quagmire and light!
A green slash boasting the power of a mountain and a jet-black storm that would swallow everything collided and shook the world.
