## Chapter 225 – Holy War Soldiers
It was utter, chaotic panic.
These bastards were eating people!
And they were making a stew out of them with carrots and potatoes! I’d seen all sorts of fucked up shit since coming to this world, but nothing had shocked me as much as this!
“You sons of bitches! You’re all fucking dead!!”
The world was a blur of red from the excessive rage flooding my system. My body trembled at the inhuman atrocity. Even that vile Demon Hitler wouldn’t have done something like this…!
People eating people!
It was an evil that far surpassed my understanding!
Was this the feeling that police officers had when they busted a KKK cell cooking and eating black children?
I felt true ‘rage’ itself.
“This is!!! Absolutely unacceptable!!!”
Elise was also on the verge of foaming at the mouth as she started to rampage. “Kaaaaaak!!” A scream echoed from inside the tent. Blood poured from the severed ankle, spraying everywhere as the victim thrashed.
“Elise, goddammit! Drag these bastards out! We need to punish them with due process!”
“Understood!!”
Consumed by irrationality, I immediately grabbed the ankles of the two footless bandits and dragged them outside. Elise also violently grabbed the guy next to her and hauled him out.
“Uwaaaaaaakㅡ!!!”
“Kaaaaaaak!!!!!!”
Screams erupted. But these weren’t human sounds. Just the disgusting cries of monsters.
“The mark of Ejazth!”
Elise shouted like a thunderclap as she saw the bandits’ faces. That’s right! Both of them had tattoos on their faces! Followers of Ejazth!
Heretics!
Strangely, they were crying. Their faces were twisted, and tears of pain streamed down their cheeks.
…They can cry?
These beings can shed tears?
I was starting to lose my grip on how this world worked. A world filled with malice, pain, and evil! You bastards have no right to cry!
“H, how! How can you do such evil while shedding tears!”
“Crocodile tears! Crocodile tears! These bastards! They’re mocking the victims even at a time like this!”
Elise raised her warhammer.
Even with their lives on the line, they just writhed and screamed, seemingly more concerned about the pain in their severed and crushed ankles. These fucking bastards! They’re only worried about themselves even at a time like this!
I felt a kind of horror at their selfish wickedness.
The ultimate psychopaths.
These things, writhing like maggots in a pool of blood, were true monsters. Shedding crocodile tears while mocking their victims, pretending to be in pain while worrying about their own safety.
I felt dizzy.
People.
Can people really be like this?
“Wait, Elise!”
I grabbed Elise’s arm as she was about to bring down her warhammer.
“Don’t stop me! Punishment! Retribution! Saint! Why are you stopping me!”
“That’s not it! Killing them now would be a mercy!”
“Mercy…! Are you talking about mercy!”
“Yeah! It’s like freeing them from this terrible pain!”
“That can’t be!!!”
As she said, killing them outright would violate international law. I couldn’t forgive them unless they paid the price for cannibalism in some way!
[Well thought out. Buddha Kim Kat. Save the masses with your ideology.]
Even the Buddha in my heart, who only appears in extremely confusing situations, was telling me I was right. Something hot welled up inside me. Mana exploded throughout my body, and my heart started to beat rapidly.
“Elise! Hit their legs! Give them more pain!”
“A fitting punishment indeed! Understood!”
ㅡWhack! Thwack! Thwack!
ㅡWhack! Thwack! Thwack!
Rational judgment was impossible.
Elise and I mercilessly beat the heretics writhing in pain. Bones shattered with every swing of the warhammer, and I stomped on the severed ankles, squeezing out blood.
“K, aaaaaaaahㅡ!!! If you’re going to kill me!!! Just kill me already!!! You fucking bastard!!!!!”
“Fucking! Fucking!!! Fuuuuuucking!!!!”
Finally snapping out of it, the two started screaming. Like crazy people advertising that they were bandits, they spewed out curses. They couldn’t even apologize to the victims, instead cursing…!
Ultimate evil!
I was about to vomit just breathing the same air as them!
“Bullshit! You’ll pay the price for cannibalism before you die!”
“You don’t even deserve to die!”
“Keuheaaaaaak…!”
I pulled out my knife and stabbed it into the guy’s thigh, spinning it around like a goblin club. “Tsuaaaaaaak!!!” They say that when Heungbu sawed open the gourd, gold and jewels poured out. When I sawed open this guy’s thigh, dirty screams erupted!
The pain of the wicked is my gold and jewels!
ㅡSaw, saw, saw away.
Then he foamed at the mouth and rolled his eyes back!
“T, this bastard! This is possession! Spirit possession! We have to kill him!”
I don’t know if it’s real, but it’s said that among the evil heretical arts, there’s an ultimate forbidden technique that dramatically increases combat power by summoning a wandering ghost from the heavens into one’s body. Judging from the fact that he was foaming at the mouth and rolling his eyes back, it was clear that he was using that forbidden technique!
“Elise! Let’s kill them now! These bastards still haven’t come to their senses!”
“Understood! Ijzmart, God of Order! Burn these evil ones with your radiant light and extinguish even their souls!!!”
ㅡWhack!
Elise, who had been chanting a violent prayer, smashed the bandit’s head, and I finished off the other one by stabbing the knife I had pulled from his thigh between his eyebrows.
ㅡThud.
The bodies of the two blood-spurting bandits slumped.
“Haa… Haa…”
Hot breath escaped my lips.
The world that had turned red was returning to normal.
“Calm down, calm down, Saint.”
I could feel the mana that had been drowning my brain receding back into my core. Calm down… I took a deep breath and calmed down. After taking a moment to breathe, Elise patted my back, and Winia poked my waist.
“Wow, Blackie, you’re a fucking psycho. I knew you were crazy.”
“Haa… Haa… Winia. Is there anything else?”
“Um, those two and what that sister brought over, that seems to be it.”
“Claudie?”
Following her gesture, I saw Claudie walking over. In one hand, she held two heads with dangling hair, and in the other, she dragged a struggling, burly man.
“Hmph… There don’t seem to be any strong ones.”
“Kkeueueueuk! Let go, you whore!”
“Oh my.”
ㅡFlash!
It felt like my brain was shaking again at that one word.
Claudie threw the burly bandit towards us. It was a very light gesture, but the force behind it was enormous. It sent the bandit’s body flying before slamming into the ground.
“Keuheok!”
The sprawled out guy writhed.
Was he unable to get up?
“Kat. He said something mean to me.”
“Y, you motherfucking son of a bitch! There are things you can say and things you can’t say to people!!!”
Who dares say that to my woman!
My eyes rolled back again, and I slammed an elbow of judgment into the bandit’s broad back! ㅡWhack! An extreme strike that focused all my body weight into my elbow!
“Kakh!”
The guy exhaled!
“You son of a bitch! Didn’t your mom teach you any manners?!”
“W, what kind of crazy bastard is this…!”
“This bastard still hasn’t come to his senses! Elise! Interrogation!”
“Interrogation! Understood!”
Elise and I started beating the guy with our bare hands without further ado. One guy is enough to interrogate. Wouldn’t someone be more willing to answer if you beat them like crazy first? Let’s just beat him first!
“True Awakening!”
“Holy Strike!”
“Keu, keuheok! Stop! Stop it!”
They had the mark of Ejazth tattooed on their faces, and more than anything, they had committed cannibalism. There was no need to treat them like people. If we called them people, it would clearly lower the standard of humanity.
I couldn’t bear such a sin.
So these guys aren’t human.
“Elise, step aside for a second! I need to inject the right mind into this guy!”
“The right mind, you say!”
“Yeah! You’ll see!”
I then performed the forbidden technique I had always wanted to try on the bandit, the armbar. Grab the arm, hook the leg. The guy didn’t resist at all, probably because Claudie had cut his tendons.
“What are you trying to doooo!!!”
“Heavenly Demon Hyper Armbar!”
“Heukeueueueuk!!!”
ㅡCrack!!
His arm bent in a grotesque direction! The guy rolled his eyes back in that instant. C, could it be… Is this bastard also using spirit possession?! As I was about to switch to a rear naked choke in anger, Winia put her staff around my neck.
“Blackie, you’re going to die if you keep that up. You said you were going to interrogate him, right?”
“Ah, right.”
“Keuheuk…! J, just kill me! Please kill me! I don’t know anything!”
“This bastard is still lying! Huh!”
He still doesn’t know his place and is still lying!
Do these guys not have a single ounce of guilt!
I felt utter despair!
Judging from the fact that he’s still lying, it seems like he was just born an evil villain without a good heart! An evil being from birth, the ultimate demon psychopath!
This was the name of this monster!
“ㅡAh, despair.”
Anyway, we have to interrogate him.
If we’re lucky, we might be able to find out the location of the other bandits’ camps. I immediately got up and laid the guy down properly. The bandit, who was panting heavily, grimaced and groaned like a human.
…He’s imitating a human.
“…Elise. Let’s start the interrogation. We might be able to find out the location of the other bandits.”
“Understood! It is what we must do!”
“Let’s show them our divine torture skills that swept through the heretics in the slums.”
“Of course! Saint! I will shout the slogan! Divine!”
“Friend!”
“Holy Torment!”
“Justice Sadism!”
ㅡThwack!
I immediately stretched out my arms to make the ultimate cross.
Winia sighed and clicked her tongue at the sight.
Winia. You don’t know style and justice.
Claudie tidied up the area and lined up the severed heads of the fallen bandits. Then she kicked the pot towards the bushes, spilling the contents… May they return to nature, victims.
“Hehehe, well, you heretic bastard. We need to have a sincere conversation from now on, so please cooperate. You should go to the afterlife comfortably!”
“Hehehe… There is no forgiveness. There is no mercy. There is no salvation, and there is no rest, so all that remains for you is hell. But, if you cooperate with us, you might be able to close those dirty eyes.”
Now that I’m used to making threats, the bandit suddenly started whining like a little kid.
“A, anyway, you’re going to kill me, you fucking bastards…! Heuk, heueuk!”
In the midst of the chaos, the bandit sharply pointed out the core of the matter.
That’s right.
No matter what he does, he’s going to die here. He can only choose between dying painfully or dying more painfully.
If he doesn’t talk, we’ll torture him to death, and if he talks, we’ll torture him a little less before killing him. Either way, we had to torture him to make him pay for his sins.
“What? What? Fucking bastard? Elise. Let’s cut off his fingers first. It doesn’t seem like he’s ready to talk yet.”
“D, don’t!”
“Don’t? When did this bastard get permission to speak informally?”
“P, please don’t…!”
Perhaps because he was certain he was going to die, his attitude started to soften. Good. This is the basics of torture. You have to beat them up first to get the information you want.
Elise asked as she tried to shove her warhammer into his mouth.
“Tell us where the other bandits are. If you don’t, this warhammer will enter your throat in the name of the God of Order.”
“Heuk… I don’t know, I don’t know…”
Crocodile tears flowed down and soaked the ground, and Elise started to shout fiercely. I danced to console the unfortunate victims who had been eaten by these guys.
Somewhere, the melody of outdated jazz was heard.
Did it come on the wind?
Anyway, since ancient times, dance has been one of the means of communicating with the heavens. Let’s dance to soothe their spirits and send them to God.
“Hieuk…! Heueueuk!!!”
Perhaps because the atmosphere of terror had descended due to my sudden actions, the bandit started to cry loudly.
Claudie smiled and clapped as she watched my dance, and Winia expressed her boredom by sitting on a rock and sighing.
In this insane world, I sang to God and danced.
“ㅡLibera Nos.”
Salvation to God.
