Episode 19

3.

It was truly an unprecedented appearance.

Leo, who planted the S-class hunter that Korea is proud of on the playground, still had an expressionless face and shook the dust off his priest's uniform.

Then he started slowly walking towards me.

“Team 2 goes straight to the CEO… … “Check the condition.”

“Stop it! If we can't stop it, this area will be a wasteland! Jeong, come to your senses!”

The players of the Goblin Guild formed a siege even in the midst of chaos.

Although it proved itself to be a prestigious guild, the players who formed the siege were already full of fear.

In some ways, this can be seen as a natural thing.

Even the ranker is a monster that was planted on the ground at once, so how easily can people who are weaker than the ranker be planted?

However, their siege could not have any effect on Leo.

Leo still walked forward with an expressionless face, and soon reached the encirclement formed by the players.

And after a while.

The guy spoke in a dry voice.

“Brothers. Stop fighting pointless battles. I don't want to fight with you. Limen will be sad.”

Is that the sound coming from the mouth of the guy who just planted the guild representative on the ground?

That shamelessness was truly shocking, but what was even more shocking was the reaction of the goblin guild members towards Leo.

Despite Leo's nonsense, they lowered their weapons and cleared the way. It was definitely not because they were influenced by Leo's words and suddenly became nonviolent.

They were all looking at me with earnest expressions.

That means they turned the bomb on me.

I smiled bitterly as I looked at this situation that was on the verge of becoming such a mess that I couldn't help but laugh.

And after a while.

Leo soon arrived in front of me, got down on one knee and spoke to me.

“Leo Lumen, a faithful servant of Limen, head of the Catechism Research Council, and Vicar of the Second Diocese, sends greetings to the Holy Father, the first apostle and sole vicar of Limen.”

I couldn't help but feel extremely strange when I saw that.

Rather than Leo feeling a sense of alienation, it was a feeling of alienation from the language he was currently using.

I waved my hand lightly in greeting, then frowned and asked.

“Where did you learn Korean?”

It's the same as what you said to the goblin guild members earlier, and the greeting you gave me now is the same.

The language Leo used was none other than Korean.

It is a standard language that it would not be an exaggeration to think of him as a native of Seoul.

Leo answered my question with his head down.

“It is a gift given to me by the great Limen. He said, “Spread beautiful stories in beautiful language.”

“You can even read the text?”

“The Bible had to be translated, so he took care of that as well.”

This time, it seems that Remen took care of unexpected details.

yes. In order for a religion to become successful, it must have scriptures.

Yeah, good.

It's good that such details were taken care of and that the language pack was patched, but why?

“Why did they plant humans in the ground as soon as they appeared? “What kind of farmer are you?”

Why did they cause a major accident as soon as they appeared?

I stayed quiet because I didn't want to create a troublesome situation, but the person in question asked me why I was doing this.

At my point, Leo stood up.

Then he immediately answered in a confident voice.

“The author exuded a desire to live next to the Holy Father. “I judged it to be an act bordering on blasphemy, and I simply took the legal process in accordance with my authority and principles.”

“… … “Didn’t Limen tell you about how society on Earth works?”

“I have not received any separate trust.”

"driving me crazy."

You just patched the language pack and sent it, right?

For some reason, I heard a voice in my ear saying, ‘Hehe, Siwoo! I felt like I could hear Limen's voice saying, 'You take care of this!'

I took a deep breath, looked at Leo, and said.

“As of this time, I am confiscating the authority to punish Archbishop Leo Lumen. Also, on Earth, or at least in Korea, you should never rashly punish others. That's tarnishing Limen's face. I understand?"

“If you say Korea… … .”

“A country built on this land where we are now. And the hometown where I was born.”

“I understand, Holy Father.”

Surprisingly, Leo obediently nodded to what I said.

There were countless things I wanted to say to him right now, but there was something that took priority.

I sighed repeatedly, then pointed my finger to the spot where CEO Choi was stuck and asked.

“What did you do there?”

Even though it looks like that, CEO Choi was an S-class hunter that Korea is proud of.

The fact that a man like that is stuck on the ground and can't get out means that Leo must have done something.

Leo still spoke with a blunt expression in response to my question.

“Because it was spewing out speculation and murderous spirit, it was temporarily sealed with a sacred barrier. “He was a menace to be left alone.”

The sacred barrier is a barrier developed with divine power, and was originally used to restrain beings with demonic energy. However, it is also quite useful for people who have not experienced divine power.

I could understand why CEO Choi had no reaction.

“Release me. “It’s because I didn’t explain it properly.”

"All right."

Anyway, what should I do from now on?

You didn't touch the nose hair of a sleeping lion, you touched the nose hair of a rampaging lion... … .

It won't work.

I have no choice but to use my secret weapon.

I made a quick decision and immediately picked up my phone and made a call.

Toowoo-.

After a moment of ringing, a weak voice came from the other end of the phone.

-… … Yes, I received a call.

“Team Leader Kim.”

-yes.

“I think things are a little off.”

-What is that... … no. We'll head straight to the gate. It was already waiting nearby. Please wait just 5 minutes and we will… … .

It was then.

Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa8551114588 there?

Representative Choi, who was released from the barrier, rose up from the ground and soon walked towards us with his whole body covered in red magic.

And as I looked at that figure, I spoke in a bitter voice.

“I’ll try my best.”

4.

Not all of the church's archbishops had strong fighting skills.

This is because the position of archbishop is not a position to be attained simply because one fights better or excels better than anyone else.

A noble character who strictly adheres to doctrine and can sacrifice for others.

And it is truly a noble position that can only be achieved by being revered by many people through the process.

In fact, among the archbishops, there were very few people with any significant fighting ability.

but.

Let’s go!

“His Holiness the Pope. Please stay back. “There is no need to put effort into this.”

This guy, Leo, belongs to that extremely rare case.

Two armed groups representing the Holy See and, by extension, the church.

Combat Priests and Holy Knights.

Among them, Leo was a hero who led the battle priests and led countless battles to victory in the war against demons.

I sighed as I looked at Leo blocking CEO Choi's right fist with his left hand.

And he spoke to CEO Choi, who was burning red magic and constantly spewing speculation.

“Let’s stop here. “I apologize for not being able to tell you in advance.”

Representative Choi’s momentum was close to that of an animal.

The clothes he was wearing had already been completely burned down by the magical power he was emitting, and his massive upper body muscles, covered in all sorts of scars, were clearly exposed.

Scars that fill the entire upper body.

It shows without hesitation what kind of life he has lived so far.

His scar-filled body and his fierce fighting spirit even under these circumstances were proof of the history of struggle he had achieved so far.

I also felt some responsibility for the situation getting to this point, so I tried to explain it verbally at first.

However, CEO Choi, who was already fist-bumping with Leo, seemed to have different thoughts.

“Hehehe. Mr. Siwoo is out. “It’s going to be a lot of fun now!”

A tone of voice that is neither respectful nor condescending, but somewhere in between.

It's so scary!

Even at this moment when he said that, the red magic he gave off and Leo's divine power clashed fiercely.

Due to the repulsion from the collision of the two energies, several large pits have already been dug on the floor of the playground.

I tried to ignore the pounding headache and spoke to CEO Choi again.

“It seems like there is a big misunderstanding... … .”

However, CEO Choi interrupted me and shouted.

“I know this monster is not the enemy! Hehe, if it were an enemy, it would have killed me a long time ago.”

… … It's really going to spin.

“No, you know, but why are you doing this?”

In response to my question, CEO Choi laughed out loud, showing his teeth, and then beat his chest and said:

“A man’s romance becomes complete only when he deals with a strong man.”

“… … yes?"

“Romance is sometimes more valuable than life.”

He's crazy.

He's really, really crazy.

When he says something like that while emitting a red aura from his entire body, he is surprisingly persuasive.

Besides, the bigger problem is.

“It’s romantic… … That's a good thing. “I have never experienced the world of Earth, but seeing a warrior like you makes me look forward to it.”

"ha ha ha! “Thank you.”

Leo This guy is agreeing with that crazy guy’s remarks.

And that too while their fists were bumping into each other.

By any chance, is there a communication network between these crazy people?

This was a development that went far beyond what I could have predicted.

“Whoa.”

I took a few deep breaths to keep my composure. If I didn't do this, I felt dizzy and felt like I was going to go crazy.

It is literally a crucible of hell, a mixture of disgust and confusion.

Meanwhile, Leo still asked me with an expressionless face.

“If the Holy Father gives permission, I would like to show the warriors of this Earth the great power of Limen.”

Just as I was about to answer that ridiculous question.

“We are not children and we would need permission to fight!”

Representative Choi’s actions were faster.

Crackling.

Even though CEO Choi's fist was touching Leo's, he grotesquely deformed the other hand.

His left arm, which was full of red magic, was dyed bright red, and Leo, who saw it, also prepared for the impact by emitting pure white light once again.

“Haha! Very enjoyable-”

Representative Choi's exciting voice did not end there. Because I couldn't take it anymore.

There was no time for CEO Choi to rebel.

I jumped up and instantly struck CEO Choi's head with my fist.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Representative Choi, who was dyed red, was once again plunged deep into the ground.

“When I say nice things, I’m trying to say things in a nice way, but why do you get angry at people? Do you both want to go after it? yes?"

After solving CEO Choi's problem in an instant, I looked straight at Leo.

Despite the merciless violence just moments ago, Leo still spoke with a blunt expression.

“As expected, the Holy Father.”

“It was like that in Eden, but I couldn’t get offended like that every time you had an accident and made a blunt expression on your face?”

“It’s a principle… … .”

"shut up. “You’re the same, you bastard.”

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

I slammed them both to the ground in just three seconds, then gritted my teeth and said,

“Just say one more word. Then I'll just throw you all the way to hell. Romantically.”

You have to squeeze it hard to keep your mouth shut.

How come these people aren't even adolescents, huh?

"big… … Mr. Pyo?”

“… … “Umm.”

“Hmm.”

Unlike before, the goblin guild members who were watching the scene just stood there.

They seemed to be having trouble identifying their friends properly, so they just looked at me with blank expressions.

It was a very daunting scene even for veterans who had experienced numerous battlefields.

I glanced at the goblin guild members, then sighed and looked up at the sky.

The sky, which had been colored purple, was quickly returning to blue.

[Chaos Gate is completely destroyed.] [Quest Meeting] has been completed! Please receive compensation directly from Leo Lumen>.]

Whatever happens, happens.

Did I do my best to have a really quiet pickup?

That was when I was shaking my head with a resigned expression.

“Siu niiiiiiiim! We are here... … .”

Team leader Kim arrived at the scene, looked at the deep holes in the ground, and was immediately at a loss for words.

Perhaps the most pitiful person in this situation is this man?

I said while trying to avoid Team Leader Kim’s gaze, which was looking at me with resentment.

“I tried.”

Why are you looking at me like that?

Is it real?
