Chapter 177 – Special Order: Find Miri!! (2) *Archangel of Destruction Illustration*
Special Order: Find Miri!! (2)
While the priest was away for a moment, Sentress went underground at high speed.
‘The stairs are quite long, aren’t they? Is someone named Miri here?’
Sentress quickly walked down the stairs, holding her pounding heart in case she ran into someone. When she heard the sound of someone’s footsteps coming down from above, she quickly hid herself among the objects inside the stairs.
“Whew~ There was no believer support today either… Don’t we have to sacrifice ourselves if we continue like this? Ugh, I came because they said that if I apply for this mission, I will be promoted to chief priest right away, but I think I came for no reason.”
“So… The saint… You’re so stubborn, right? If you don’t agree, you can lure the children in the slums by offering them food and brainwash them, but you said you’d never do that…”
“They are all heretics who will fall apart when the Archangel of Destruction regains all his power anyway… They are too soft on children.”
“That’s right. Children have good vitality, so if the archangel absorbed it, it would have ended a long time ago.”
The voices chattering as they came down the stairs were the voices of the priestesses who were distributing food to them.
‘Brainwashing children and having them absorbed into archangels? These bad guys… They had a different plan as expected!! Has Miri already suffered this?’
The subject of the priestesses’ conversation changed just as the Sentress was curious about Miri’s whereabouts.
“Senior. But I heard last time that the green-haired heretic bitch had enormous mana?”
“The saint said yes. Thanks to her, she said that now she just needs to gather about 10 more people… So what are you doing? You don’t have any support.”
“But you managed to quietly subdue such a strong person.”
“She must have let her guard down because she was strong. She said she drank the brainwashing medicine the saint gave her. In that state, the Archangel of Destruction came out, so no matter how strong she is, there is nothing she can do.”
Hehe, if we can somehow fill in ten more people, the original power of the Archangel will descend… Hehe”
“Yes… We must wipe out this cursed heathen land and quickly return to the Holy Kingdom. Ah, once this task is completed, you and I will both be promoted to chief priests and live comfortably.”
The priestesses told Sentress a lot of information and headed to her room. Sentress listened to their entire conversation among the objects and quickly succeeded in examining her inside before the door to the room they entered was closed.
‘Not that place. Since there is only a bed and clothes inside, I think it is a room for priests. By the way, if you have green hair… It must be Miri, right? Oh my god, what happened to him… What should I do with this…’
Although Yuno could not believe that Miri, who was said to be as strong as him, had been harmed, Sentress expressed his anger at the priests of the Icaris Temple and moved his body to somehow save Miri or at least find her whereabouts.
Sentress moved as quietly as possible and looked around, discovering that one door was locked.
‘Uh? Is it here? Why is this place locked? All the other places were warehouses or empty rooms… But here’
However, a huge energy was felt inside, and Sentress, who instinctively sensed the energy moving, flew back to the place where she had initially hidden.
Crash!
As soon as the Sentress hid herself, the door to the locked room opened and a beautiful being appeared.
“Hmm~ I think I felt something here… Was it an illusion? No, this body can’t be mistaken… It was a very small amount of energy, but there was definitely something there…”
The beautiful being had the appearance of a very beautiful woman, but the large wings on her back showed that she was not human.
‘Is that… The Archangel of Destruction that the priests were talking about? It really is an incredible energy…’
“Crrrrn… I felt movement from here…”
She exudes an incredibly ferocious aura, and she is a Sentress who feels extreme fear of the Archangel of Destruction approaching the place where she is hiding.
‘Don’t hold your breath and lift a finger… You’ll definitely get caught…’
The Sentress held back even the sound of her breathing, and after killing her presence as best as she could, she prayed to the heavens that the Archangel of Destruction would not find her.
‘Ugh, I still want to live… I have to take care of my younger brother… I also want to spend happy days with my lover… So please don’t let that monster find me… Lord Ikaris…’
Perhaps because this was the temple of Ikaris, Sentress unconsciously searched for Ikaris and prayed to her, and Sentress felt someone speaking to her inside her heart.
‘I will grant your wish. Please join forces with the one who sent you here and correct my children who are walking the wrong path.’
And at that moment, a miracle occurred.
Squeak!!
A mouse suddenly jumped out into the hallway from where the Sentress was hiding.
“What? Was it this guy? I should instruct the priests to take proper care of the temple. I can’t believe such a dirty creature exists in Ikaris’s solemn temple…”
Sigh~!!!
The Sentress could barely hold back a scream from inside as she looked at the mouse, whose entire body was twisted and dying under the Archangel’s outstretched hand.
‘Lord Ikaris!! Thank you!! I don’t know why you helped me… I don’t know if it’s Ikaris, but… Furthermore, I will definitely stop this conspiracy with Yuno-hyung!!’
While Sentress was thanking Ikaris in her heart, the archangel who killed the mouse returned to the room he came from and the door to the room was closed again.
“Huh, huh, huh, huh!! It really was an terrifying feeling… Well, but… That’s similar to Yuno-hyung’s…? Of course, it’s completely opposite to Yuno-hyung’s warm aura… Hey, maybe I’m mistaken. How can I check the monster’s energy in my subject?”
After catching his breath for a moment, Sentress searched the empty room again to find Miri.
“Huh, what? This smell…?”
At that time, Sentry’s sense of smell detected a familiar unpleasant smell that he had smelled somewhere between the slightly open door.
‘It’s clear!! It’s here!! The smell of that brainwashing medicine is coming out!!’
Sentress, who sensed that Miri was there, went straight into that room.
‘Clearly here!! What? Why is there nothing…?’
However, the room where Sentress entered contained only a desk, a chair, a glass bottle containing medicine, a few Bibles, and other than that, nothing was visible.
‘Oh, what should I do? If it’s not here… Could it be the room where the archangel is? Even so, I can’t go in there… Should I just escape and tell Yuno-hyung what I’ve done so far… Still, I’m sure Yuno-hyung will believe me…’
Then, Sentress saw a butterfly flying.
“Huh, huh? This is underground, but why is there a butterfly… No way?”
Sentress searched the wall where the butterfly flew. It was a strange wall because there was a curtain on the bare wall, but when the curtain was pulled back, a hidden space was revealed.
“W-Where is this place?”
In that space, there was a huge magic circle and numerous oak barrels. Since the number of oak barrels was almost over a hundred, Sentress was in trouble to find Miri and open all of them.
‘Still, there’s nothing we can do… In order to save Miri, we have no choice but to open and check all of these places!!’
Even though he could have been caught and killed because of the noise of opening the oak barrel, Sentress clenched his fists.
‘I can do anything to repay the kindness of Yuno-hyung, who saved my life and Sentoria’s life and allowed me to avenge my parents with my own hands!! Yu, Yuno-hyung is my benefactor!! I will also help Yuno-hyung somehow!!’
I don’t know if it was grace or some other emotion, but anyway, Sentress mustered up the courage and picked up the crowbar in the corner.
But…
“Huh? Why is the door to the baptismal room open? Who came in?”
When the saintess’s voice was heard from the hallway outside the door, Sentress thought it was a mistake.
‘What a fool!! You didn’t close the door when you came in here!!’
Sentress, blaming herself for her big mistake, let her body go limp as she heard the saintess’ footsteps approaching.
‘Ugh, everything is wrong now… I will now be caught, brainwashed, and put in that oak barrel… The saint said she won’t harm children… But I know all the secrets of this place, so I won’t leave it alone…’
Just when Sentress is about to give up everything. A butterfly that announced the existence of this place disturbed the Sentress’s gaze.
‘What…? That butterfly…’
When the butterfly realized that Sentress’ eyes were on her, she quickly flew and landed on an oak barrel, and Sentress sensed that the barrel contained Miri.
‘That container is where Miri is in!! Miri sent a butterfly to catch my attention!! If so…’
Since it was confirmed that he would be caught anyway, Sentress ran as quickly as possible and opened the lid of the oak barrel with a crowbar, where Miri, soaked in brainwashing medicine, appeared.
“Such a foolish guy!! I even gave him butterflies and told him everything, so why is it taking so long!!”
“Mi, Miri!! That, that…”
Seeing Miri approaching in anger, Sentress was completely frightened and closed her eyes. But instead of hitting her sentry, she patted her head and praised her for her hard work.
“Still, you did well. If it weren’t for you, my entire body would have melted and been absorbed. But most of my energy was absorbed into that damn magic circle… And there was Semen’s semen… But the medicinal energy was so strong that it took all I could to overcome it. In this state, I can’t even protect my body, let alone defeat the saintly bitch coming here…”
“Well, then…”
“I will send you to the West right now. This is the magic video bead that contains the truth of this place. Let the West know the truth of this place. And this Miri was truly happy to have met you, West, and will only love you forever even after death. I mean”
“Mi, Miri!! No way. There has to be a way for the two of us to get out together!!”
Takkong!!
“This guy!! The little guy is arrogant. If you really feel that way, then tell the master to save Miri. Even if it’s late, make sure to say that you will never blame the master… Al. Do you agree?”
Sentress cried as she saw Miri smiling while hitting her forehead.
And the moment the sound of the door to her baptismal room being opened reached her ears, Centris’ vision darkened and then brightened, and she was able to see her Juno sitting on her throne.
“Three, Sentress?”
“Yu, Yuno-hyung!!!”
Although Sentress’s mission to rescue Miri failed, she was able to deliver Miri’s message to Yuno with only half success.
