Chapter 73 – Heretic Saint, Forbidden Nun (6)
11. Heretic Saint, Forbidden Nun (6)
I passed the happening safely and continued moving forward. It was an overwhelming battle, and it was also a break, so it might have been because it was released for a while, but after starting again, I was seriously wary of all directions.
‘It could be that she figured out Sestia’s hidden nature with something like a woman’s intuition.’
Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to understand their radically changed attitude.
“Here…”
“Just looking at it, it’s not serious.”
“Yeah, it looks different from the doors I’ve seen so far. So is the atmosphere.”
We passed the fifth room without too much difficulty and soon arrived in front of the sixth room. Intuitively, we realized that this was the last room before rushing into the central area.
“Miss Cestia. I wonder if the other denominations have already arrived?”
“You won’t know until you go in. However, considering the level of nuns and priests we have encountered so far, there is a good chance that they arrived first.”
“I think we have a good chance of being in the lead, having skipped the distance of three rooms. It’s not too late to think about it after passing through the room in front of you.”
“Yes, chief. I will open it.”
“Uh. Be careful.”
It was very reassuring, perhaps because Sestia was behind her. Is this how she feels about riding the bus? I feel sorry for her, who was quite sick, but she had nothing to fear if she ever made her use her ‘killing prayer’ again.
‘It’s a temporary member, so it’s difficult to taste it too much.’
Still, if it wasn’t like this, when else would you use a level 9 healing nun? No matter how indungeon it is, experience and rewards are less than the main dungeon, but I was thinking of making the most of the current situation.
Drooling-
The door opened slowly. As soon as the door was half open, we looked inside and immediately got into battle.
[Elite monster 〈 Dread Sister 〉 has appeared.]
[Elite Monster 〈 Dread Priest 〉 has appeared.]
[The elite monster 〈 Altar Guardian Knight 〉 has appeared.]
“Crazy… !”
No matter how low the level is compared to us, three elite monsters in one room? This indungeon also went crazy.
‘No. Originally, it wouldn’t have been this far, but there’s a high probability that the difficulty level went up because of their plans.’
Just as we drew our weapons, the enemy silently prepared for battle. Unbelievers, I thought you would say blah blah blah, but there was no such thing. Even if he died, he would die happily, and if we died, he would be even more happy.
Fanaticism.
It was a look that I did not want to deal with and could not understand.
“Look, I see the altar.”
“Yes.”
“The shape is similar, but the energy it exudes is completely different… Am I the only one who feels that way?”
“You’re right. Perhaps the contents changed as the plan progressed. I don’t even know if I’m in charge of an important axis.”
The fallen people seemed to be trying to somehow protect the small altar in the center of the room.
[Speed check]
Shay: 3
Kaya: 4
Eugene: 7
Cestia: 4
Altar Guardian Knight: 5
Dread Priest : 3
Dread Nun : 4
[Eugene’s turn comes first.]
‘Altars are best when they are destroyed.’
First of all, I decided to target priests and nuns who would obviously use mental attacks and healing skills. The nun is in row 3, so at the moment she tried to attack the priest in row 2.
[The Altar of Fear scatters the energy of fear.]
Suddenly, black energy seemed to flow from the altar, and it flowed into the three monsters.
[Maximum HP of Altar Guardian Knight, Dread Priest, and Dread Nun increases by 10.]
[The Altar Guardian Knight, Dread Priest, and Dread Nun’s attack power increases by 2-4.]
[Altar Guardian Knight’s DEF increased by 2, Dread Priest and Dread Nun’s DEF increased by 1.]
[The speed of the Altar Guardian Knight, Dread Priest, and Dread Nun increases by 1.]
“… Uh?”
———-!!!
It was so absurd that I threw in a comprehensive buff gift set that I couldn’t even speak about.
[Speed check]
Shay: 3
Kaya: 4
Eugene: 7
Cestia: 4
Altar Guardian Knight: 6
Dread Priest : 4
Dread Nun: 5
[Eugene’s turn comes first.]
“Fuck… What the fuck is this!!!”
It didn’t change that I was a Sunton. However, the specs of the monsters have risen to an absurd level. In addition, the speed that I had been struggling with was drastically behind. Because of speed 1!
“Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill… !”
[Kaya mentality -5]
[Eugene mentality -4]
[Cestia Mentality -5]
Shay’s seizure switch was pressed by the aura of fear that filled the room, and Kaya and Cestia covered their mouths as if they were sick of the visceral repulsion rising up in their stomachs.

‘If my prediction is correct, I thought it wouldn’t be easy since it’s the last room before the central area, but it’s like this… It’s crazy.’
Looking back, it was a crazy buff.
‘I can’t even attack the altar!’
The fucking ridiculous buff called Fear Power didn’t even have a duration. Wouldn’t it be better if the three normal monsters received that buff…
‘I can’t just attack. I’ll have to brand it,’
Compared to the seriousness of the work, I admitted that I had passed easily so far, and I ate my heart. I grabbed the ax handle with the mindset of dealing with a boss.
“From the priest.”
[Find a wanted criminal]
[Eugene marks the fear priest as a wanted criminal.]
[Eugene deals 1 damage to the Dread Priest.]
[Remaining HP 78/79]
[Stigma lasts for 3 turns.]
[As long as the stigma is maintained, all physical damage is amplified by 25%.]
The stigma was successfully placed. Now it was the turn of that dingy knight pretending to be.
“You unbelievers have entered a place you should not enter.”
[Type 2 – Blowing away]
“So, go back!”
“Keugh!”
“Ouch!”
“Sheh, oh my goodness!”
[The guardian knight of the altar dealt 3 damage to Shay.]
[Remaining HP 17/20]
[Shay is pushed by a boulder.]
[Shay is pushed back 2 spaces.]
[Kaya and Eugene are pulled forward one space at a time.]
[The warriors pushed by the irresistible force feel fear.]
[Kaya mentality -5]
[Shay Mentality –6]
[Eugene mentality -5]
[Cestia Mentality -5]
Shay, who allowed the knight’s sword attack, was helplessly bounced backwards, and Kaya and I rolled over as well. There was no systemic damage, but the formation collapsed in one shot.
‘She can’t attack if Shay is in the third row!’
The sight of Shay, who was always in the front, glaring at the knight from behind me and pouring harsh curses at me, was very strange and not desirable.
“Fall in the dark. And feel the fear.”
[Gospel of Fear]
[The Dread Sister deals 2 damage to Kaya.]
[Remaining HP 14/16]
[The Dread Nun deals 1 damage to Eugene.]
[Remaining HP 16/17]
[The Dread Sister deals 0 damage to Shay.]
[Remaining HP 17/20]
[The Dread Nun deals 0 damage to Cestia.]
[Remaining HP 24/24]
[The warriors’ ears begin to hear whispers of fear.]
[Kaya mentality -8]
[Shay mentality -10]
[Eugene mentality -8]
[Cestia mentality -8]
The speed was pushed back, and even the wide-area mentality attack was hit. Their speed only increased by 1, but all patterns were distorted.
[The speed of Kaya, Sestia, and the Priest of Fear is the same.]
[Speed roll]
Kaya: 3
Cestia: 5
Dread Priest : 4
[Cestia’s turn will precede those of the Dread Priest and Kaya.]
[The Dread Priest’s turn will precede Kaya’s turn.]
Sestia was paying her ‘lucky’ price, and Kaya, well, it wasn’t surprising that she lost the roll. However, because of the tougher battle situation than I thought, I couldn’t help but distort my expression. Kaya quickly managed her expression before turning around, but…
‘Fuck. Didn’t he really have to do one job at a time as soon as he was in a hurry?’
I was scared enough to regret having delayed the most efficient upgrade route.
“Hendrick.”
“Fortress of Protection… Bet.”
“All right.”
[Fortress of Protection]
[Cestia restores 2 HP to all warriors.]
[Shay’s remaining HP 19/20]
[Kaya remaining HP 16/16]
[Eugene remaining HP 17/17]
[Cestia creates a shield that prioritizes all attacks.]
[Shield remaining health 8/8]
Cestia’s calm voice brought me back to my composure. I was quite scared that this wasn’t the last boss, but I remembered situations that were worse than this.
‘Those bastards are the three brothers who are no answer. The answer is 3 brothers. The answer is three brothers.’
Yes, compared to the ‘mountain-like fear’ of the Hand of Fear, how insignificant was the AoE skill just now.
As long as Cestia was present, the risk of dying was small. It was a mental game. She continued to control her own mentality.
“Let us not give in. Come to your senses. You can win I can move on. Compared to the dungeon boss, they are nothing. Fuck it. You know.”
And he muttered so much that his colleagues could hear him. Then, there was no answer, but it was seen that the momentum of Kaya and Shay, who had been rigid, loosened considerably.
“Do not turn away from fear.”
[Embrace your fear]
“Huh… !”
“False belief is that way! Hypocrisy! And an illusion!”
[The Dread Priest dealt 1 damage to Sestia.]
[Shield 7/8 HP remaining]
[Sestia Mentality -9]
The priestess held her book and screamed at her, and suddenly Cestia covered her ears and curled up.
“Hey, you fucking bastard! Cestia!”
“Gwa, it’s okay.”
It wasn’t a strong attack. She also had a protective shield, so her stamina wasn’t damaged, and her mentality wasn’t too bad either. But that bitch crossed the line. Passed anyway.
‘You dare to target the bus driver? I was going to be the first to kill you, but you’re earning a hawk on your own?’
“Kaya!”
“Yes!”
“That bastard, Joe.”
Kaya’s bloodstained mace, forced to swing at her five sisters, glowed eerily.
“Her corruption is not enough, so don’t insult our faith with that filthy mouth!”
Quadduk-!!
“Aaaaa!!!”
[Everything according to God’s will]
[Fatal blow!]
[Kaya deals 32 damage to the Dread Priest.]
[Remaining HP 46/79]
[The warriors push away the fear in their hearts little by little.]
[Kaya mentality +3]
[Eugene mentality +4]
[Shay Mentality +3]
[Sestia Mentality +3]
The mace of Kaya’s fury was stained with new blood and flesh, and the priest’s teeth chattered as he spoke the damn thing.
“Huhhhhh… !”
“Shay.”
“A fucking bastard who’s not even like a squirming worm, not even trash, not even the filth of the world…”
“Come in front of me.”
Shay, who was in row 3, came out and switched her seat to row 2, then ended her turn. He’s not saying anything, but priest, he’s sure to be at ease.
Whoa, but fuck you bastard. I know that?
Do you still have one left?
In the next round, it was my turn again.
I swung the ax at the head of the priest with all my might without even thinking about it.
Puppy-!
[Crush the head]
[Unbelievable blow]
[Eugene did 47 damage to the Dread Priest.]
[Remaining HP -1/79]
[The Priest of Fear has died.]
[Hope begins to fill the hearts of the warriors who witnessed the unbelievable punishment.]
[Kaya Mentality +5]
[Eugene mentality +6]
[Shay Mentality +5]
[Sestia Mentality +5]
“Fuck it!!!!!!”
“Leader!”
“Captain!!”
“Hendrick-sama!!!”
From the humanoid stigma critical hit max damage to the tiny artifact 1 bonus damage.
After reaching level 4, the critical hit that hadn’t exploded until now literally ‘crushed’ the priest’s head as soon as it first exploded. The hand holding the ax trembled at the sensation of his head being ripped off at once. Because it’s terrible?
No way.
‘It kills the taste of mulberry.’
Her companions were also making the same expression she had when Cestia wrote her Eternal Rest, looking at me. Yes yes I’m your boss I’m the main dealer!
Is it such an odd situation?
The next turn, the knight, didn’t even attack and was looking at the corpse with his head smashed.
“Come in, you bastard.”
The three no-doubt brothers, no, the elite monsters who have become the no-go-no-dabs brothers now.
Now, it was only reduced by one, but the war situation has changed greatly.
