Chapter 158 – Sloth (2)
Vatican.
Knights of the Holy Cross.
There is no vested interest that likes this name.
They annihilate demons with faith, and receive little in return, but even so, the vested interests don’t like them very much.
More precisely, the vested interests with a dirty back.
The reason was simple. If it is judged to be a demon, it will try to arrest the opponent regardless of power or force.
They are not swayed by power or money.
Divine power.
A supernatural ability in which belief works as power.
Because it is with them
“Long time no see!”
Lily’s girl smiled broadly.
I also smiled and waved.
“Long time no see. Were you here too?”
Natal greeted me in a gruff tone.
“Are these kids you know?”
“Yes, we met at the association during vacation last time.”
“The Vatican… !”
Yoon Chae-rin looked at them with a not very good look. It was because of the setting that she once almost got caught and tortured by the Vatican for dealing with Magi.
“But what are you doing here?”
“Well, it’s a bit difficult to tell you yet.”
Lily’s girl, Elise, said as if she was a little perplexed.
Of course I know why they are here. The reason is to catch the lazy goat.
I scanned the faces of those from the Vatican. Starting with the Shield of Faith, the Banner of Faithfulness, the Sword of Temperance, and so on. They were all gorgeous.
Those who are more famous for their profiles on TV or on the Internet.
I glanced at them and met someone’s eyes. I saw a paladin wearing a full plate mail plated in white, with her platinum blonde hair up.
It was the one called Eldor, the sword of moderation.
“Hello.”
She smiled softly and greeted me.
I also bowed my head and said hello.
“Are you Siwoo Lee? I heard that Alice and Natal owe a lot to you.”
“No, Ellis and Natal are so kind and talented, so I owe more to them.”
Eldor raised the corner of her mouth as she praised Elise and Natal.
Elise and Natal are the next saints and saints that the church is raising with great care. And Eldor is a person who plays the role of a parent who raises them.
When attacking El Dor, praising Alice and Natal rather than praising her will increase her likeability.
“By the way, Siwoo-nim, what are you doing here?”
Elise asked, her eyes twinkling.
“Because of the mission.”
Yoon Seung-ha said in an inorganic voice.
“A mission? Ah, come to think of it, Hero Academy had such a system.”
“Yeah, so I’m tired from just going around the dungeon, so can you step aside?”
Yoon Chae-rin said in a low voice.
It wasn’t that I was tired after clearing the dungeon. It was just that the new girl didn’t like her.
At that time, the entrance was buzzing. Sanae, dressed in a red and white shrine maiden’s uniform, and Swordsman, dressed in traditional Japanese attire, appeared.
The Sword Master looked around with a disapproving look, and his eyes widened.
It must be because the people around you only have glamorous reputations.
“What did you come here for? There would be no reason to come to Japan from the Vatican.”
The Sword Master asked in a sharp tone.
“Oh, no big deal.”
The Shield of Faith smiled at me.
“George, I just came to check the seal of the sloth goat.”
“The sloth goat is well sealed.”
The swordsman appeared on the horse in the shield of faith and said.
“But aren’t there anomalies in Japan to say that? For example, the hunters and heroes heading to the dungeon suddenly became lethargic, or the citizens became lazy.”
“…”
“I know the position of the swordsman. But we just want to be sure. If that’s the case, it’s unlikely, but if there’s a possibility that the demon king, the lazy goat, will be resurrected, do you know what will happen? If the lazy goat was really revived…”
“… Okay. However, can I take Bong-gwan shaman along with me?”
“Yeah. It’s possible.”
The Shield of Faith quietly nodded.
***
We headed straight to the shrine. I brought the whole party with me in case of an unexpected situation.
The half-collapsed buildings were soon restored.
Magic and science. The magic engineering combined with them is enough to complete a building in one night, so there is nothing strange in this world.
“Then let’s go check it out.”
The party headed towards the center of the shrine.
“This is where the Demon King was sealed…”
Yoon Seung-ha muttered and stared at one place. I saw a shrine with hundreds of black chains tied to it.
A place where all kinds of amulets, as well as crosses and holy water, are spread all over. Beneath it, the ground had turned black, as if stained with demonic energy.
“Certainly, it looks healthy from the outside.”
The shield of conviction said as he looked at the place where he was bound with a black chain.
“But why is the sign of indolence…”
I looked at the ground.
I saw black soil. A goat is sleeping under this soil.
In my head, I organized the method of attacking the goat.
As soon as the goat wakes up, it starts destroying everything around it. For humans, it’s just an act of stretching. It is said that with that act, the 100m radius around here turns into a place where life cannot live.
And the sloth attack begins. With the sword of the Sword Master and the mirror possessed by the shaman, she unseals Magat-ok, and with the temporary ability obtained by freeing it, kills the Goat of Sloth.
There may be many things in the process, but the liberation of the three gods is the most important. Without it in the first place, you can’t even start.
‘Tomorrow is the day of the decisive battle.’
I looked around.
There were more than 6 heroes of the highest rank here. Sword Saint, Bonggwan Shaman, Sword Master, Sword of Temperance, Shield of Faith, and Banner of Sincerity.
And with the pendant, Kim Eun-jung can be called at any time. If that happens, it may be more doable than you think against the lazy goat.
“I’m glad. Still the Demon King.”
The Shield of Faith opened its mouth.
The change was sudden.
Momentarily.
Time stretched like candy.
[Incomprehensible sensations] Set off alarm bells throughout my body.
This place is dangerous. Run away now
The brain spirit inside my body reacted. Pajik-. A thunder spirit ran through his nerves.
The head was raised jagged by the magnetic field.
Quietly, before looking around.
In front of my eyes, I saw something like a doll of a goat. A black sheep that looks less than 50 cm tall.
Goat’s horns. Yellow eyes covered with black fur stared at me.
I swallowed quietly. The black goat looked at me as if wondering.
[You. What is it? Why does it smell so thick?]
It was a curious eye.
A tone that doesn’t suit sloth at all.
At the same time. Dozens of swords and one giant sword were fired at the mountain goat. Light radiated from all sides, and the chains tumbled down on the goat.
Light bombarded.
Streams of holy light poured toward me to the extent that I could have thought of that momentarily. I got out quickly.
“Choir!”
The shield exclaimed urgently.
──────!
A beautiful sound flowed. A soft sound spread out. At the same time, I felt a surge of strength. It was the ability to give buffs to allies while keeping enemies in check.
[This is a bit annoying.]
The goat spoke slowly.
The words sounded like they were engraved in my head.
The goat raised one arm.
At first glance, a dainty fist. However, the results are not straightforward.
The claws of the sheep, which had grown dozens of times in an instant, shattered all light.
Shards of light scattered like glass being shattered.
“Cuck!”
“Cool! Don’t fall down! If the Demon King is resurrected here, this country will be over!”
Part of the choir collapsed, vomiting blood from the blow of the mountain goat. The swordsman raised his sword. For a moment, I felt as if the sword castle had become ‘huge’.
“Shaman!”
The swordsman screamed and ran. Sanae took out a mirror and looked at the sword star. Then, the sword saint’s body split. From one to two.
It was a mirror effect.
Dayoon Nam quickly ran forward. The sword of temperance shone around the mountain goat and swung it at the mountain goat. The flag of sincerity planted the flag in the ground, energizing those around it.
Hundreds of swords tightly wrapped around the sky.
The sword saint’s body split and sprayed sword steel. The sword of self-control aimed at the back of the mountain goat, wrapped in a glowing light. The shield of faith blocked the mountain goat. Light fell from the sky, cheering up the allies.
The space was distorted, and in an instant, the power to blow away a mountain came pouring down on the mountain goat.
All that.
───────────────!!!!
Number one.
An alien black aura covered one arm and lowered it from top to bottom. The light shattered with it, and hundreds of swords filled the sky scattered like glass. The Sword Saint disappeared with the arm that swung the sword, and a hole the size of a fist was pierced in the abdomen with the Sword of Temperance.
“Quaaaaagh!”
[Well, it’s not bad as a declaration of resurrection]
The mountain goat said calmly.
Putting the lightly tore off Sword Saint’s arm into his mouth.
