Chapter 228 – Dispatch Missions (8)
*
Deciding to look inside, we donned our robes and masks and came out of the room.
Choi Tae-soo also contemplated whether to camouflage himself in the same way, but he gave up because it was not a problem that could be solved by putting something on the body of that huge body.
I don’t care because he says he’s fine, but honestly, I have to say that I’m terribly concerned.
‘How on earth are they hanging there?’
I don’t know if I should use this expression, but watching Choi Tae-soo, who is not a cockroach and moves around hanging from the ceiling with nowhere to catch, I immediately thought of that.
In addition, it feels like that no matter how you look at it, the way you move as secretly as possible so as not to make a sound.
“Don’t keep looking upwards. Then, what are you going to do if you get caught?”
Park Hye-ji, who was next to her, patted her side and continued to notice.
“I want to be okay…”
“Haha. I am fine.”
Choi Tae-soo’s voice came from the ceiling.
I know I shouldn’t look at it, but how could I ignore a gigantic giant that’s twice the size of a normal person hanging from the ceiling and crawling?
Still, I have to say it’s a little less shocking than when I first saw it. I feel like I’m getting used to it.
“Be careful.”
“Okay.”
The moment I walked forward, I heard someone from afar.
I definitely feel like I know why they were relieved that no one would be here.
There were so many spaces with only long passageways without any obstacles, so it seemed like there was no place to hide.
It seems that the door in the wall can’t be known unless it’s the guys here.
“So that’s what I mean.”
Park Hye-ji and I started to walk forward, keeping our composure as much as possible at the voice that began to be heard little by little.
“As for what I did back then… Hmm?”
The guys in the distance looked this way to see if they had spotted us.
“Everything… Be careful not to get caught.”
Park Hye-ji whispered in a voice so low that the guys couldn’t hear it.
Wouldn’t they think it’s strange if you’re shivering enough to be suspicious to anyone?
The torchbearers came this way in silence, and we just walked forward.
“You work hard. I know the ceremony has begun, so why are you here?”
They looked at us and spoke politely.
‘Even they don’t know the details.’
If you think about their conversation earlier, reconnaissance is like the mission of the lower ranks, so it seems that they are lower in rank than we are.
Besides, I couldn’t confirm it earlier, but the badge on the robe seems to indicate the rank to some extent.
At least the guys in front are lower in rank than us.
“It’s just that I’m a bit late because of personal matters. Is everyone in the ceremony room?”
“That’s right!”
“Okay. A lot of work. We will go first because of the ceremony.”
I patted them on the shoulder moderately and walked past them.
It seems to have passed somehow. As the distance between them increased, Park Hye-ji, who was next to her, started talking.
“What did you say?”
Ah, come to think of it, Park Hye-ji and Choi Tae-soo do not know what they are talking about.
It seems that it is possible to speak and listen without thinking, perhaps because it is a language acquired through skill.
“What kind of consciousness do you have? Reconnaissance is the job of the lower ranks, and the rank of the owner of the clothes we are in seems to be higher.”
“It’s amazing to see you speak so skillfully.”
It’s a surprise.
If you’re going to say it from above, turn on the blinker a bit and say it, old man.
“I heard that even if you can understand the meaning, it’s difficult to say it directly, but it’s amazing.”
“That’s right. There would have been no data left. How can you reproduce syllables?”
Even if you say that you can get it with a skill, it doesn’t seem like the two will be able to understand it.
I had no choice but to move on because I was able to do it just by trying to acquire skills.
“By the way, it’s a ritual. If it’s a ritual in a place like this, it’s definitely not normal, right?”
It’s a ritual performed by guys wearing suspicious-looking masks.
Just hearing it makes me feel like I can smell a dangerous smell.
“By the way, where should I go?”
I thought I was conscious, but the problem was that I didn’t know where to go.
It should be said that it is a maze-like place with long passages like anthills leading in all directions.
“I can feel a peculiar aura from over there.”
Even if it’s a sign, I’m going to say it.
I can’t get used to it no matter how much I hear a sudden sound coming from above my head.
Well, isn’t that important now?
“I can feel it too, Grandpa.”
“Shall we go over there?”
“Both can be dangerous, so be careful.”
We started walking towards the unusual aura felt in the distance.
*
Unlike the space where a long hallway leads, a wide space continued.
Pillars decorated with unusual patterns were erected on the walls, and in the center was engraved a magic gin painted with red liquid.
In the center stood a man with a huge staff.
Bones that looked like human remains were embedded in the surroundings like jewelry.
A normal person would naturally frown.
“At las. The time has come.”
From the moment I entered the room, there was an unpleasant smell that pierced my nose, but the people around me didn’t care much.
High priest. The man in charge of the church’s priest frowned at the two late arrivals. Now was not the time to care.
“Finally, the time has come for a light source to come to this land.”
A word that doesn’t seem to have anything to do with a place where an unpleasant smell is possible in a dark room.
__Thud! Thud!
At the voice of the priest, everyone around them began to stomp.
‘Tsk. I told you to practice it according to the ritual… ‘
Everyone moved at the same beat, but the two looked awkward for some reason.
Starting with their late arrival, the presence of the two kept bothering them. If it hadn’t been for the ritual, I would have called the two guys forward and set an example for them.
“The time has come for the prostitutes of light to be driven out and the true master to descend on this land.”
__Thud! Thud!
Maybe they finally came to their senses, unlike the first awkward look, this time they stamped their feet at the right timing.
“Town!!! Town!!!”
Finally, the offering prepared for the most important event was revealed.
Tied to the ropes and unable to resist, the woman began to struggle, twisting her whole body.
This is called the daughter of the prostitute of light.
Because he is the noblest, he can be called even uglier.
And behind that noble blood, innumerable people began to be brought to the place tied with ropes.
They were all blindfolded with their arms and legs tied, so they couldn’t see right now.
Today was the day when the church took a great first step through this ceremony.
50 sacrifices prepared for this day.
Many more have already been used to create this altar. The price of their blood was on a different level from the price of those who were prepared now.
“Daughter of a harlot! In the meantime, how many people have suffered with those filthy hands!!!”
__Thud! Thud!!
“Today, the filthy sins of four years will be atoned for with blood!!!”
In line with the priest’s words, she placed her saint on her altar and began to fasten it. A priest holding out a dagger to be used in the ceremony.
The ominous energy reacted with the surrounding magic circle and began to emit unpleasant lights.
“Ah!! The deepest darkness!!! I offer you the daughter of a filthy whore!!!”
The moment the priest raised her head to stab her with a sword, a huge human figure hung above the dark space.
“A bar…?”
A man with a huge body that seemed to be twice the size of a normal person was hanging from the ceiling and glaring at him.
It was the moment when the priest stepped back in such an eerie mood.
“I don’t know what’s going on, but they sure aren’t nice guys.”
Choi Tae-soo, who was hanging from the ceiling, fell down.
__Quaang!!!!
With a tremendous explosion, everyone around them was pushed away, and in the center of it, Choi Tae-soo was seen holding the head of the high priest.
“This guy!! Where did it come from!!”
The priest struggled to free himself from Choi Tae-soo’s hand, but his hand, once gripped, showed no sign of loosening.
‘What power… ‘
He stabbed the man’s arm with the sword he was holding, but the man’s arm was harder than steel, so it didn’t even get scratched.
“Heh heh heh… Heh heh heh… “
“Priestess!!!!”
As Choi Tae-soo’s grip began to gain strength, the priest began to twist his body in agony.
Choi Tae-soo, who has no mercy to the enemy, enough to be called a bone pain crusher.
The moment I was caught by him, it was as if the end had already been decided.
__Puong..
“Hee-hee!!!”
“My…Priest… “
The body of the priest, whose head was missing, fell helplessly to the floor.
When the eyes of the man covered in blood began to glar at them, they naturally started to back away.
How can you call that a human being?
The moment they tried to escape through the entrance, a woman with a beautiful voice blocked the entrance.
“Is it human sacrifice? These guys shouldn’t be left alive.”
One of the two people who came in last took out a sword and slowly walked forward.
Everyone around her looked at her, forgetting that the enemy had attacked her dignity, felt in every single step of her gait.
Her graceful movements made me feel like I was watching a play even though I was simply walking.
“I will not forgive you.”
For a moment she felt like a dream. They all came to their senses at the monster glaring at them from the altar.
A large man covered in blood and a woman with thin lines. It was the female side that seemed to have the slightest chance of her survival.
Realizing that something was wrong, they rushed to the entrance to escape, as the woman’s sword was pulled out of its scabbard.
And the moment the thin water passed by.
“Uh..?”
“Ah… “
With a brief agony, their necks fell off.
In a very short amount of time that they would not even be aware of, water as sharp as a blade would have cut their throats and passed by.
Maybe that was mercy.
At least you’ll die without knowing you’re dying.
And Kim Si-woo, who was watching it from behind, thought.
“You two look alike.”
“What is going on!!!”
Outside the altar, armed guys started running towards us.
“I have to deal with them.”
