Lemegeton 112

Chapter 112 – 8. Prometheus(9)[Anatomy, Archaic. SAN Caution]※

Boo oo —-
Booooo!!

“Yu, Yuria…”

Even the loa fell to his knees and looked at the bull devastatedly at the terrible cry that resounded from the bronze bull.

The pyre burned so roaringly, lamentably, that the loa finally burst into tears.

“Yu, YuRia… YuRia didn’t like the heat… Mister… How are you…”
“…”

Even though it was the magic she used to save herself and her party, Cashwyn was about to go crazy knowing that the cost was so terrible.

The brooding roar of the bronze bull sounded so terrifying that the loa looked to her paladin.
To see what kind of expression they are making at such a terrible sound.

However, the paladin was standing and looking down at the bull with a very expressionless face.

“…”

They… Are you okay with that terrible sound? Can’t you hear that desperate cry from Yuria?

So time passed and flowed and flowed again.

As each second felt like a minute and a minute felt like an hour, the wood fire that had been burning roaring with fire began to die down surprisingly quickly.

Could it be that God is quickly extinguishing her fire in order to forgive Yuria?
Or was it firewood that burned so quickly from the beginning and didn’t last long?

Originally, the bonfire, which should have been gone for about an hour, collapsed in less than 10 minutes and turned into a ember, and when no one around touched it, the fire eventually died out in less than 15 minutes.

Booong…
Boo…

The sound of gasping echoed, so the paladin approached the bull, opened the lid on the bull’s back, inserted her arm into it, and pulled out something limp.

Her faded, drooping blue hair was not that clear color, but a dull color, as if it were mixed with ash. Yuria’s body, which was drooping as if she had lost consciousness, and her flesh exposed outside her clothes were all red. It was ripe and turned red.

“Yuriaaa!!”
Roa hurriedly ran to Yuria and confirmed her condition.

Her breath that continues so hard and still shu woo woo… A very hot body that is steaming…

At Yuria’s condition, Roa hurriedly looked at her paladin and screamed.

“Please! Give Yuria some water please!!”

However, the paladin was looking at one side of the temple without saying anything, and Roa was wondering why?

Shoot -!!

As it was, the priest poured water on YuRia’s body, which was so hot, and surprisingly, steam rose again from YuRia’s body.

“Bur, the punishment is over! Sa, save me! He’s still alive!”
“…”

The paladin just silently hugged Yuria and looked down at the weeping Roa.
In the meantime, another priest had already brought water from another wooden bucket and sprayed it on YuRia’s body, and only then did the steam rising from YuRia’s body subside.

A third priest came from far away with a bucket of water, and instead of pouring it all at once like before, he slowly poured the water over YuRia’s body.

As the cool water slowly flowed over YuRia’s body, the reddish flesh of YuRia’s reddish flesh was very little, but it felt like the redness had subsided.

“Huh…”

Yuria, who literally couldn’t even afford to breathe properly, inhaled as hard as she could.

The fourth priest slowly poured water over YuRia’s body, who was panting so hard with her heart pounding, and Roa finally came to the idea that YuRia’s condition was improving so quickly that this water was ordinary water.

“Could it be… Is this water… Holy water?”
“I should have said it. It’s a ritual of purification. If a god punishes you, you’ll die.

YuRia, who was splashed with holy water for the fourth time, was still gasping for breath, but she didn’t look like she was struggling to breathe like before.

As the fifth holy water was poured onto Yuria’s body, which was drenched in holy water and was panting, Yuria’s skin, which had already turned bright red, had a slight reddish tinge to it, but it almost returned to its original color. Got my arm

Staring at Roa with her eyes half-open, YuRia’s hair, as if it had been bleached, had almost regained its color from a crumbly grayish state.

But. Holy water didn’t come anymore after five buckets.

“Lo… Loa…”
“Yuria… It’s over. It’s over now.”

Yuria, who had been gasping for a long time, whimpered to Roa as her tears flowed.
I thought I would die from being too hot.

“Are you kidding me in the middle of this?”

Perhaps not having the energy to open his eyes, YuRia, who was gasping for breath with her eyes closed again, leaned on Roa’s arms and completely relied on her.

“It’s real…”
“There’s no way the heat can justify the pain of losing weight…”

YuRia said she wanted to say something more, but as if she didn’t have the energy left to say it, she closed her eyes and stopped her words, breathing heavily.

However, that expression was ‘You really don’t know what I want to say?’ Seemed to say
It could be just an illusion, but when Roa thought that the expression she saw was correct, then she looked at Yuria wondering what the meaning of that word was.

“Is her head not working?”

YuRia, who was cradled in Roa’s arms with her eyes closed, nodded her head slightly.

As a result, Roa understood Yuria’s condition.
She probably wasn’t what she meant to say, but it seemed that her words didn’t come to mind.

It seemed that the heat was so hot that her head was overcooked, and she was unable to think properly.

“… Rest well for now.”
“…”

Loa, who held Yuria, who had been stretched out without her strength, looked at her paladin.
No, he wasn’t even sure if he was a paladin.

Just because he was dressed like a knight and came out of the temple, he just thought his penis was gone.

I don’t know if this can be said to be safe, but Roa, who saw Yuria’s health, finally started to turn her head.

Why we came here
And who he is

“Who are you”
“It’s late. Are you asking now?”

The one who thought it was a penis opened his mouth as he looked at Loa.

“I am the Bishop of the Heretic Questioner.”
“!!”

The paladin, no, was shocked by the words of the bishop.
I really never dreamed that he would be that big.

“The ritual of purification is a higher level of consciousness than you think. Did you think that a ritual to directly ask God for purification could be done with ordinary authority?”
“…”

I honestly didn’t think this would be such a great ceremony.
Just irresponsibly, if you die, you die, if you live, you live. I thought it was such a ritual, but apparently it wasn’t.

“Looking at your expression, I think I know what you’re thinking…”

Bishop of the Heretic Questioner swiped one of the firewood piled up on one side and threw it to Loa.

“That is the firewood used in the purification ceremony.”

Roa, who received the firewood thrown by Bishop, was surprised by the thickness of the firewood, which was thicker than expected.
But what surprised me even more was that the firewood was a tree that Loa knew well.

“Acacia tree?”
“Yes. It’s firewood from acacia trees that have been consecrated. If it’s this thick, it will burn for 2-3 hours.”
“…”

That meant that the ritual just before had been intervened by God.

“Really… Was it a ritual of purification…?”
“It’s rude, but I forgive you. It’s not because you’re rude, it’s because I know it’s because of your ignorance. But remember, never twice.”

Roa kept her mouth shut and looked at Cashwyn.

She thought that it would be best for Uncle Cashwynn, who is well versed in many things, to step forward in this situation, so she thought that she should be careful with her words and sent Cashwynn a look asking what to do.

And, at Roa’s gaze, Cashwyn quietly came forward.

“Bishop of Thebanoa. My nephew’s wife is suffering for the sin of unintentionally revealing a fate that has yet to come. An ordeal that should have already ended has, due to some ruse, ended forever. Please, my nephew. Please help me to complete this punishment safely!”
“…”

Bishop was silent for a moment.

And Bishop, who was looking at YuRia, looked at Cashwyn with a furrowed brow with a subtle expression that was difficult to express.

“Wizard, do you know what you said?”
“That…”
“That’s what I said to see that child and die right now.”

Cashwin couldn’t say anything about that.

“There must be a way… There must be a way. There is obviously still time…”
“Since you don’t seem to know anything, I’ll tell you what you need to do to clear that girl’s karma.”

YuRia’s eyes trembled at Bishop’s words and lifted her closed eyelids.

“I can hold on…”
“You can endure it? Yes, then I’ll tell you that avoiding punishment with a dream is the way to survive that life for a long time.”

Bishop opened his mouth, showing emotion for the first time.

“First, we will strip that girl naked, wipe her body in public with water and a rough brush, and go through the ritual of purification. After that, we will restrain her arms and legs, and cut her back along her spine. Then, I will peel off the skin from the back, peel off the skin of the whole body, and cut the muscles from the back one by one and separate them.”

At those words, Roa, Cashwin, and Delis trembled and swallowed their saliva.

“That’s the beginning, and in conclusion, all the flesh and joints of the arms and legs will be removed, and the entrails will be peeled and separated.”
“…”
“You won’t die even after doing this?”

Yuria shivered and nodded her head.

“Not yet, not yet…”
“Yu, Yuria… That, that’s…”

YuRia shook her head, wringing out her empty energy.

“Tomorrow… I want to do a ritual…”
“… I’m sure I’ve stopped, girl.”
“Ask God… Ask… What you need… He will tell you…”

Bishop seemed furious at the words of Yuria, who was not even a follower of him, asking about God’s will, but soon he lowered his feelings and turned around.

“Okay, I’ve seen the mercy that God has bestowed on you, so I’ll ask God as you said. However, if there’s no answer even after asking God, I’ll kill you as painfully and brutally as you wish in return for scorning God.”

Those words sent chills down the spine of everyone except YuRia.

“Yuria, this won’t be a problem, right?”
“…Are you okay”

She took a moment to catch her breath before Yuria opened her mouth again.

“Because the story is already over.”
“Yes?”

In another sense, her party was perplexed.

Hey, the story is over?
Who, who are you talking to…

Stand, can you?

YuRia nodded her head slightly.

“I was a little worried, but he was a kind senior.”

At YuRia’s words, everyone put on a bewildered expression.

Kind… ?

YuRia, who took a deep breath for a while, seemed to have relieved her worries to some extent, but even so, with an expression full of fear for what will happen tomorrow, she summoned the suit inside her clothes again and let out a small sigh. Rested

“You don’t have to worry. But… But please don’t come to see me tomorrow.”
“Ha, but…”
“I beg you… I don’t want Loa to see me tomorrow…”
“…”

Each other became more and more complicated with each other.

Should I stay by your side?
Should I not see what I don’t want to see…

“Yuria…”
“…”
“If Yuria was worried that I would be shocked by her appearance, then I would go.”
“…”
“But, tell me honestly. If I see Yuria and she is making it difficult for her, then she won’t let that happen.”

YuRia thought about it for a long time before finally lowering her head.

“Stay… Beside me…”
“Huh…”

*  *  *  *  *

Bishop, who was praying after hearing YuRia’s words, actually thought that there was no way that God would respond in this way, but even so, he lifted his head toward the sky and looked up at her in amazement at the warm feeling that fell on him while she was praying. .

“Oh God…”

Bishop, who had been receiving revelations from God for a long time, made an astonished expression.

“No, that’s… But…”
“…God, forgive this servant for his disrespect. If it is God’s will, I will obey.”

Bishop, who had listened to God’s revelation for a long time, finished his prayer feeling that the warmth surrounding him had disappeared.

That bitch, no. The woman was right.
God had indeed prepared a way for the woman to live, and she wanted her to live.

On the contrary, she wondered what kind of existence that woman was that God was so interested in…

But on the other hand, she wondered what crime she had committed that deserved such punishment.

What did a person so favored by God do that she deserved such a terrible punishment?
And how a person who has committed such a sin is still favored by God.

*  *  *  *  *

On top of the altar where the offerings to the gods were placed, a small girl, covered in a pure white cloth, was sitting, as usual, a cow or a sheep.

The priests who cut the pieces of the sacrificial offering looked very puzzled by the existence of the girl.

Their god, Thebanoa, is a human god, so he does not accept human sacrifice as a sacrifice, but what the hell is this?

“I’m informing you in case there is a misunderstanding. This is not a sacrifice to God.”
“Then what do you mean!”
“It’s a cleansing ritual”
“Inquisitor (Heretic Questioner). You will have to explain this matter straight.”
“I don’t know the details, but during prayer last night, God gave me a revelation. It was to purify this girl in the form of a sacrifice.”

Buzz buzz…

“But, if you do that, this girl…”
“That’s why the gods decided the place for this ritual to be held on the altar.”

At those words, the priests looked at the Inquisitor with doubtful eyes.

“God held her soul for a while, and then returned it after the purification ceremony.”

Since the top of the altar is a space dedicated to God, it was a place where the work of God took place strongly.

Originally, it is general that the things placed on it must be dedicated to God, but this is what God wants to do…

In the meantime, Loa, who entered this place wearing a castle to participate in her ritual, her heart was beating so much.

Watching Yuria tremble with fear in this place full of tools that seemed to dismantle cows, sheep, and pigs, her heart ached so much.

And soon. When the conversation was over and the ceremony finally began, the pure white cloth covering Yuria’s body peeled off roughly, revealing her naked body to the whole world.

In that situation, Yuria shuddered and cried out in so much fear and shame, and soon, her priest, holding Yuria’s arms and shoulders firmly on both sides of her, sprinkled her holy water on her head. And consecrated.

And behind him, another priest picked up a strange-looking knife from among the many utensils.

“We’ll start from now. The omitted ceremonies are the ritual of draining blood and boiling the body to drain the oil.”

As her sword moved closer and closer to Yuria’s back, Yuria closed her eyes tightly and trembled.

Now, this is the real beginning.

Fuuk… !!

“!…”

The blade started from between YuRia’s neck and shoulders, pierced her back, slit her spine, and slashed down her back.

As it was, the skin was cut along the sacrum above the hip, and another knife was held in the priest’s hand.

As it was, the priest began to separate the leather from Yuria’s body, starting from the long cut and pushing the dagger between the skin and the flesh.

“!!…”

With the sound of squeak, Yuria gnashed her teeth and tried to hold back her screams.

Gradually, the pink flesh inside it was revealed, and Roa’s eyes shook mercilessly.

I was determined, but it was so much more terrible than I could have imagined.

While the skin was gradually peeling away, the incision of the skin began again.

Long behind the arms. Legs long behind.

Little by little, her skin was peeling off, and before she knew it, her whole body skin was peeling off, leaving only her hands and feet, and two large iron hooks brought from somewhere pierced her body.

“Khaha -!!”
“U-Yuria…”

Even though it was on the altar, it was still on the altar, but the main Yuria was pulled into the air with a hook and her skin was roughly pulled, and she sat still, the skin on her hands and feet peeling off.

She was Yuria who couldn’t come to her senses as her tears flowed from the pain, but her ordeal was just beginning.

“Now, starting from the back, I’m going to angle her muscles one by one.”
“…”

YuRia, who had been shivering as her moans leaked out through her closed eyes, suddenly felt her fingers digging into her own back and shoulders. She screamed as she closed her eyes even tighter.

Tzu Geuk! Clap clap…

“Ughhhhh! Ahhhhh!! Ahhhhh!!”
Yuria’s body began to shake like crazy every time her blade pierced and her muscles broke off one by one.

“Kyaaaaa!!

Fu-wook! Tzu Geuk!

It was hard and each time her flesh was torn apart, YuRia literally screamed at her as if her throat was going to run out.

A little bit more. A little bit more…
The more you see the white bones behind Yuria’s back, the more Yuria too. Loa’s body trembled like an aspen tree.

Soon, as the blade dug deeper and began to rip out the wing bones nestled in her back, YuRia’s body, which had been wrung from the iron hook, struggled even harder and screamed.

But the blade didn’t stop and tsuiuk! I started to separate the wing bones from the body with a twitch.

“Quaaaaaqa

Eventually, with a chow, the wing bone was separated from the body, and then it was the arm’s turn.

Soon, the muscles of the arm were separated from the bones one after another, and the bones also separated the wrist, bent the elbow, and separated the shoulder.

The sound of YuRia’s screams, which had been ringing from the beginning, made Roa feel like she was going to lose her mind more and more.

More than anything… It was so painful to watch YuRia gradually losing her shape.

“Khhhhh!”

Soon after, Yuria’s screams continued again as the legs were separated.
