Chapter 133 – 133. Infighter Priest (1)
“Ah! It’s been a while since I used my fists, so my stress is relieved!”
As she loosened her mount posture on Bishop Harkan and moved her neck around while turning her shoulders counterclockwise, her body made a ‘duk’ sound.
Eleanor, looking at her blankly, asked her name.
“I-I really… Archbishop Agnes… Are you?”
“Huh? That’s right, but what is this guy?”
Looking at Eleanor, who asked with an expression of disbelief, Anyes tilted her head and glanced at Liode before asking.
Hurrying to her senses, Eleanor introduced herself, politely lifting the skirt of her own dress.
“I am Eleanor Armitas, the daughter of the Duke of Armitas and a lieutenant priest blessed by the goddess Vesta. She is going to meet the Archbishop this time, and he… It is truly an honor.”
Her expression was still full of confusion, perhaps because she was still shocked at seeing her unexpected appearance in Aies.
“Eleanor Armitas… Ah! Are you the one our Goddess gave us a revelation this time?”
“… Yes?”
Eleanor couldn’t hide her puzzled expression as she looked at Agnes who muttered her words that she couldn’t understand and gave an expression of understanding.
“Timing… ?”
“Well, talk about that later.”
Agies, putting off her conversation with Eleanor once, walked towards her door, which she kicked out herself.
She left the main classroom and stood in the hallway, taking a deep breath.
“Whoops!”
Lyod, who had been watching Anies’s actions, frowned and covered his ears with both hands.
At the same time, Eunhyeon raised both her hands, but instead of covering her own ears, she covered Eleanor’s ears.
“What are you doing now…”
“Anyone said anything! Bounce right in front of the bishop’s classroom!”
A large number of people, including the priests inside the temple, were excited by the voice of Agnes that resonated throughout the temple, and came out into the hallway.
Looking at the people in the temple who were standing on the hallway and trying to grasp the situation, Agnes made her impression once again.
Quaang
When he kicked the floor with his legs, the stone floor got stuck in Agies’ feet and dented.
“The Archbishop’s words don’t sound like words. Everyone? Give me five seconds.”
In response to the word ‘archbishop’, it took a while to make another shocked expression.
“5, 4, 3…”
“Came! Came! Boo, please anger… !”
“Are you the king here?”
“Yes?”
Hearing the countdown of Anies, who was terrorizing the people of her temple, one of her priests, who was closest to her, hurriedly ran in front of her, and with a dumbfounded expression at Anies’s sudden question, I asked.
“Is this the greatest in this temple?”
“Oh, no…”
“Then, are there any of the bastards in this hallway right now?”
“That is…”
If it is the person who occupies the highest position in this temple, the one who naturally comes to mind is Bishop Harkan, so the priest turned his gaze into the bishop’s room and as soon as he identified Bishop Harkan, who was lying on the floor in a square and turned into a lump of red rice cake. Immersed in contemplation
“Lord, Bishop!”
“Hey. Look where I am asking you now.”
Thud
Agies kicked the floor lightly once more, and the priest looked down at Agies in terror as his body flinched at the sound of the temple floor rumbling.
“If you don’t answer my question one more time and get distracted, I’ll pull out all your teeth like you’re picking corn, just like that bastard from the rice cake. Take care of yourself.”
“Ah, ah, I see…”
The priest began rattling and rattling his teeth, imagining the horror of having all his teeth pulled out.
“What is your position within the temple?”
“Lord, Lieutenant Priest. The rank in the temple is not very high.”
“Are there any bastards in charge of this temple’s high office among those standing behind you and spying on you?”
“Oh, it doesn’t seem…”
“Same?”
“Doesn’t exist!”
“Hmm, even though I made a fuss like this, it doesn’t show up, right?”
Agies laughed at the fact that the noblemen who were in charge of the temple did not show even a single nose poke despite the mess inside the temple.
“It’s shit, really.”
“What a fuss!”
“Oh? Are you here?”
And in the midst of that thought, Anies heard a voice shouting in his direction and moved his gaze in the direction of the shouting man with a look full of anticipation.
A young man wearing dazzling silver armor walked toward Agies with a frown.
“Who is that? Are you a high-ranking bastard?”
“I am a paladin, one of the talented aces of our temple. Shortly after graduating from Aether, he showed exceptional swordsmanship skills and possessed divine power, and was appointed as a paladin of the Temple of Vesta. His father is a noble count of the kingdom of Pernias, so if you touch him, it might be a big problem. Boo, please have mercy…”
“That’s something to decide with the attitude you’ll show on the other side.”
“Your year? What caused such a commotion in the temple?”
The paladin who finally arrived in front of Agies frowned and glared at Agnes and questioned him.
“However?”
“How dare you say this place! This is in front of the room where the bishop, the manager of this temple, is… Lord, Bishop!”
The paladin, who had been shouting and pointing at the bishop’s classroom with his finger, found Bishop Harkan covered in blood in the bishop’s classroom and made an expression full of astonishment.
Soon, his astonishment gradually turned into anger, and while glaring at Anies as the target to express his anger, the paladin pulled out the sword from his waist.
“Did you draw the sword?”
“Are you the one who made the bishop like that!”
“Oh, so what are you going to do?”
“Even if I judge with my sword the sins of four years of blasphemy like this in the temple… Hehe!”
Deciding that it was no longer worth listening to the paladin, Anies pulled out his sword and thrust his left fist into the paladin’s abdomen, which was aimed at him. Using his right fist, he hit his left side with a powerful body blow.
It wasn’t enough that the paladin, who had been pushed back by the tremendous impact, hit the wall as it was, and even the wall he hit began to crack, and eventually shattered and the remains of the wall fell on top of the paladin’s body.
“Ouch… Uweac!”
“The paladin’s armor, which was said to be made of pure silver and mithril…”
The intense pain in the abdomen and flanks made it impossible to vomit, so the lieutenant priest, who had blankly watched the paladin pour out gastric juices, fell into contemplation as he saw the paladin’s armor distorted by Agies’ punch.
“Hmm? Is that mithril and pure silver? Doesn’t it taste good at all? If it wasn’t Gura, I would have been scammed.”
“Turn it off… I will never, never let you go… All!”
When the paladin glared at Anies, who muttered casually, as if to kill him, Anies smiled and lifted his foot, and trampled on the paladin’s shoulder.
“Hey.”
“Keah!”
The heel that Agies was wearing accurately pierced the joint of the paladin’s shoulder armor and pierced the flesh with its terrifying leg strength.
As Agnies slowly twisted his leg, the heel through his shoulder was moving, causing further pain to the paladin.
“Can’t you see this?”
“That…”
As Agnes trampled on his shoulder, he pointed his finger at the badge hanging from his priestly robe above his left chest, and the paladin’s face slowly hardened.
It is decorated with a pair of silvery-white wings, and the form in which both hands are gathered in prayer at the center means divinity dedicated to the goddess Vesta.
There are only three people on the continent of Arcena who have that badge.
There are only three people who hold the highest positions in the Temple of Vesta: the Pope and the two Archbishops.
That is, a blonde little girl standing in front of herself and roughly trampling herself with her heels.
“Reverend, Archbishop…”
“Huh. That’s correct. You just pointed your sword at the archbishop.”
“…”
Why was the archbishop here, why did no one know, what the hell had happened to her young appearance that didn’t fit the title, various thoughts came to the paladin’s head, but a single emotion that erased his thoughts ran through his whole body. Makes me tremble
Anies, who confirmed that the paladin’s face was filled with fear, smiled and pulled out the heel that pierced his shoulder.
“What are you afraid of? People can make mistakes in life. It’s not like I knew it, but instead, there’s no second time? Got it?”
“Egg… I will…”
Falling in love with the beauty of the girl with a kind eye smile, the paladin who nodded her head with a blank expression, the pain in her shoulder was no longer an acceptable expression.
Agnes, who quietly bent her back and placed her hand on the paladin’s shoulder, summoned divine power without her praying incantation and recreated her miracle.
[Blessing of the goddess Vesta]
[Heel]
“Ah…”
The paladin, who experienced the miracle of the blood flowing from her shoulder, the pain disappearing, and the penetrating wound healing completely, made a surprised expression.
“Hey hey… Hehe, the latter!”
“Huh?”
Agnes, who heard the voice shouting in the main classroom with the sound of the wind, turned her head, and when she noticed the owner of her voice, the corners of her lips caught in her ears and gave a big smile.
Hehe, the latter!”
“What is he saying now. Back and forth.”
However, even though it was mostly airy and empty, judging from his expression and tone, it was not a problem to understand that he was shouting loudly to get Agies.
[Goddess. Have some mercy.]
[Blessing of the goddess Vesta]
[Hines Hill]
“Catch that bitch right away… Uh… ? Hey, teeth! My teeth!”
When Anies returned Bishop Harkan’s body to its original state through his prayers, Bishop Harkan began to cheer when he saw his teeth and face returned.
Seeing the miraculous sight, Eleanor made a look of astonishment inwardly.
‘Why is the prayer of blessing so sincere… However, the level of miracles performed… I’m on a different level…’
Restoring the extracted teeth to their original state is one of the high-ranking spells that only high-ranking priests can cast, just like reattaching damaged parts of limbs.
Eleanor made an expression of admiration and a complicated expression at the void that existed between herself and Agnes, which clearly revealed the difference as a priest.
“Hold that bitch! You dare assault me in my temple, and make my temple look like this! Arrest that bitch right away…”
“Hey.”
“Do… Hee!”
Bishop Harkan, who was weighed down by Anies’ spirit oozing cold blood, was frightened as he recalled the memory of being beaten to death just before.
“There is no evidence to prove what you did, and it seems that you are trying to drive me backwards in this situation. It’s no use.”
“What do you mean!”
“You can’t use divine power anymore.”
“… !”
Seeing the look on Bishop Harkan’s face, he went out into the hallway and watched the commotion.
“If you could use divine power, you would have healed your wounds yourself. But why couldn’t he? You have withdrawn the grace God bestowed upon you.”
“No, that is nonsense! I’ve never been like this before… !”
“No interrogation, no evidence, nothing is needed to judge what you did. God doesn’t need anything to judge you directly.”
The fact that the goddess directly took the divine power from Bishop Harkan also meant that the gods acknowledged that he had deviated from human duty and committed things that were not in line with priests.
“No way… Four years… ? How can four years go by!”
“Couldn’t there be all of them? I told you. As of today, you are dismissed. Shouldn’t we be more concerned about the future?”
“… What do you mean?”
“Why do you think I bothered to restore you?”
Wooddeuk
As I moved her neck and fingers to acupressure her joints, the sound of her body loosening could be heard all over her body.
Bishop Harqan, realizing what Anies was up to, looked contemplative and began to back away from Anies to distance himself.
“That, stop…”
“If I had been lying down quietly, I would have just passed over. Because you act like that without knowing the subject, you get beaten more often.”
“Stop! I will surrender! Please… Big heo!”
“Shut up your mouth and get hit!”
The end of the corrupt priest who exploited the people and the people of the temple by abusing the power and position of God led to a cruel ending.
