038. Bite

Kang Min-shik was arrested.

The operation failed.

“As expected, incompetent creatures can’t help it.”

At that point everything went wrong. Kim Woo-jin will hide the truth perfectly and they can’t dig deep.

If you ask me how I knew the truth, I would have to say the dispatch of the Executioner. It must be revealed that he was involved in Kang Min-sik’s prison break.

That was a clear breach of contract.

Rather, it was an act that benefited Kim Woo-jin. Because of this, all managers have given up hope for this event.

I decided there was nothing to be gained. Of course, there was no meaning in the inspection. There is only the disadvantage of having to see an annoying yet insignificant creature named Kim Woo-jin.

Even so.

Nevertheless, Bern Ortian volunteered for the position of Inspector General, which everyone had given up.

Some warriors are too wasteful to rot in purgatory as prisoners.

And wishing for the downfall of Kim Woo-jin more than any other god, I wondered if I could save even the slightest bit of luck.

cheep-

I tore up the report.

Even though I know what the problem was, it’s very neat, at least on paper. No problem.

I wasn’t particularly upset. If it was Kim Woo-jin, of course he expected it to be like this.

“Guide me.”

Kim Woo-jin led him to the 4th floor.

“I understand that the prisoners are confined on the third floor.”

“Remodeling. All moved to the 4th floor. It is written in the report.”

“How can you believe that?”

“Check it. Anything you want.”

Certainly, I heard some of the prison guards wandering around. However, something stinks.

I sensed it, but ignored it. Kim Woo-jin was not an idiot who would give clues so easily. It was most likely a real remodel. Even if it’s not, it’s perfectly disguised.

Anyway, it’s not good to grab the pod and give Kim Woo-jin the number.

“egg plant.”

The interior up to the 4th floor was clean. If there had been a jailbreak, there would have been an aftermath. No, I heard there is.

‘It must be the work of the dwarves.’

Only the dwarves could restore it so neatly in that short amount of time. However, how did they use those who harbor hatred for God?

There have been many things that have been questioned since before.

In particular, the release interval of prisoners that is unusually fast.

In the short period of 20 years since Kim Woo-jin took office as the director of Purgatory, six prisoners have been released.

It was an opportunity that made the gods, who thought they could easily restrain Kim Woo-jin for a long time, become alert and take direct action.

The first attempt ended in vain, but it is only the beginning. The gods are great, and in the end Kim Woo-jin has no choice but to kneel before them.

“Open the door.”

We finally reached the 4th floor. Like the other floors, it is in the form of a crossroads with an empty center.

The doors to solitary cells were visible along the corridor on either side.

“A door?”

“I will check the condition of each prisoner.”

“Is it really necessary?”

“I said I would.”

“I am worried about you. Prisoners in Purgatory are rough. You know, I don’t like the gods.”

“You are talking nonsense.”

Bern snorted.

“Your dirty snout seems to have gotten a little cleaner as time passed. I am a God. No matter how many insignificant creatures gather together, they cannot inflict a scratch on me.”

“open it.”

Prison guards tampered with the system. Chuck, squeak. The doors to the cellars opened all at once.

A quiet silence prevailed. None of the prisoners thought to come out of the door that suddenly opened.

Bern walked between them. With strides, she quickly passed through the open rooms.

And soon he stopped in front of a solitary cell.

“It’s you.”

There was a prisoner sitting on a bed in a large solitary cell and staring blankly at the door.

Silver hair down to her waist, skin like white jade, and eyes shining like emeralds. Even though she is wearing a prison uniform, she can’t completely cover her strong side.

“The high elves of Purgatory.”

A race that is like a work of art created by the universe. High Elf, Julia Karsen.

He is too valuable a talent to be put in a prison like this.

It was one of the two reasons why Berne dared to claim himself as a meaningless inspector.

Because he is always thirsty for excellent talent to support him.

“I am merciful.”

An anxious pupil looks up at him.

The prison uniform and relatively haggard face tell us how much she suffered in Purgatory.

Of course. Purgatory is a place that breaks the will of warriors. A person who was supported by mankind as a hero became a prisoner in an instant, so there is no way that he is not without hardships.

“Despite your mistakes, I will give you one more chance.”

That was what Bern was aiming for.

Insignificant creatures never know how to be content with what they have, but they are acutely aware of what they have lost.

In such a situation, if the rope comes down again.

“Are you thinking of becoming an enforcer?”

He held out his hand.

Julia Karsen, a noble high elf, but now a prisoner with broken wings, there was no way she wouldn’t catch it.

I thought so.

Of course I assumed it would be so.

“···Nope.”

“···what?”

“Isn’t it too much of a conscience to be locked up here and say that kind of patronizingly?”

“…!”

So, I hadn’t expected anything like this.

* * *

“That was your purpose. To make prisoners into enforcers and use them.”

“It was just a waste to stay in a place like this.”

“Then will that also be released from prison?”

“If you become an enforcer, that has nothing to do with your work.”

Bern tried hard to ignore Kim Woo-jin’s mockery.

My head was still confused. I couldn’t even guess why he refused.

It would be a hundred, a thousand times better to live in the service of the great self as an enforcer than to live in this rotten prison.

“What should I do if my face is crumpled?”

“It is no wonder that dumb creatures do not understand the will of God.”

Could it be that he was looking at Kim Woo-jin?

It can’t be. With the supreme god in front of me, I wouldn’t tremble because I was afraid of being the warden of a prison.

It was just too hasty. We need to go a little more calmly.

Verne brushed her disheveled hair.

“Clear the office.”

“suddenly?”

“As an inspector who came to check the management of the prison, I have a duty to also look at the condition of the prisoners.”

He muttered nervously and strode toward the office.

“So if I give you an order, follow me in silence. Don’t vomit.”

Before Kim Woo-jin could react, he was seated in the office. Spreading mana, he looked around. There was nothing particularly suspicious-looking.

It is a perfect place to share a private bed with prisoners.

“Let all the prisoners in one by one.”

The deputy director asked at the shouting in the office. Two enforcers stood guard at the door like escort knights.

“How do I do this?”

“Do whatever you want.”

To be honest, Kim Woo-jin was also curious.

Of course Julia would reject it, but would the other prisoners do the same?

It cannot be denied that Bern’s offer is a good opportunity for giants, dark elves, and beastmen.

especially.

‘Tarkan Tolis.’

The summit of those who revere power. He knelt down in front of Kim Woo-jin’s strength and swore allegiance, but God was more than anyone could see.

Interest arose as to whether Tarkan would relinquish his allegiance to the gods.

* * *

“Prisoner number, 1100. Tarkan Tolis.”

Vern smiled faintly at the silver-haired man.

It is undeniable that the high elves are the top priority. But it wasn’t just for her.

Purgatory has been accommodating numerous prisoners for a long time, and among them, there are a few talented people who are not lacking even if they become executioners.

Wolf of the Moon, Tarkan Tolis.

Master of the dimension, Derkain Albert.

There were three of them who targeted the high elf, Yulia Karsen, but since she refused, at least the other two had to be dealt with.

“Is the life in purgatory worth living?”

“You call that a question?”

The subtle flow of hostility. However, the reason why he does not openly reveal his wildness is because he recognizes Bern’s presence.

It was exactly what Bern had in mind. No matter how great a warrior may be, in the end, he is just a creature. Those who exist for God and serve God.

Wouldn’t it be appropriate as an attitude to show in front of a god that he would not challenge God no matter what he had in mind?

“Know. It must have been quite difficult under Kim Woo-jin.”

“Please get me out of here.”

“As much as you want.”

“I don’t want to give up power.”

“You don’t have to give up.”

Verne opened her finger.

“I will give you one chance. A glorious opportunity to get out of here and serve God.”

Become an enforcer.

“Become an enforcer and serve me. Then you can get out of here. There is no need to give up power. You can always bite off the small intestine that has been bothering you.”

He held out his hand.

“Catch it. The moment you catch it, your life will change. Soar with the great me.”

Tarkan stared blankly at his hand. And soon he got up from his seat.

“… you’re fucking.”

Before Vern could reply, Tarkan left.

“…well, what.”

why?

It is an opportunity to serve God. It is an honorable place more than anything else.

It is also an opportunity to escape from Purgatory and from Kim Woo-jin, who oppresses them.

But why did Yulia and Tarkan reject it?

“…on the subject of insignificant creatures.”

It seems to have gone too far. Therefore, foolish people who do not know the greatness of God make altars at will and make stupid judgments.

Or, because they are beasts, they do not have the brain to dare to grasp the existence of God.

Yes, that must be the case.

So, you dare to show an attitude like that before God.

So it would be a little different if it was Dercain. Unlike beastmen, who are no different from beasts, dwarves are highly civilized intellectuals.

“I don’t think it’s ridiculous.”

“what?”

“It’s like a being whose name is God came all the way to the prison and conciliates the prisoners. Are you really a god?”

“It is disrespectful to dare to doubt God. Little creature, know your subject.”

“The warden calls you differently. coffin···.”

“stop.”

A huge force blocked Derkain’s mouth.

“Expect no more mercy from me. Foolish dwarf.”

“There is a saying in the dimension where I lived. ‘The guy who farts gets angry.’”

“There isn’t a single person I like.”

Kug-g-g-g-g, Mana fluctuated. Depending on the mood of the angry god, he oppressed the dwarf. Derkhain’s knees were forcibly bent.

“There is no respect or faith in God. Just like Woojin Kim.”

Bern’s cool gaze looked down at Dercain.

“You know what? Now I can punish you with a single finger.”

that is the power of god

I can’t dare to touch the insignificant creature.

“The sin of daring to deny God’s mercy and insult the Divine.”

die.

Bern snapped his finger.

Kikik, Mana covered with authority pressed Derkane. No, I tried to press it.

A small fire blocked the power of the god.

The clash of power and power, the unbearable space was distorted. A crack opened and an explosion occurred.

────!

The office was completely destroyed. However, Dercain was fine.

“…Whoever wants to kill my prisoner.”

“Kim Woo-jin.”

“Don’t inspectors have the authority to execute summary execution?”

“It was not specified. God always has the right to control the fate of his creatures.”

“What the heck, there’s no such law in my prison.”

“Get out of the way.”

“What if you don’t like it?”

“Bern!”

“Don’t move. If you move even one step, your head will fly off.”

The executioners guarding the door stopped. The force that oppressed them made it impossible to move.

“…Kim Woo-jin. You always don’t like me.”

“It’s the same for each other.”

“Do you even teach prisoners hatred for the gods?”

“Somehow, it looks like you guys created that hatred yourself. Have you forgotten who turned normal warriors into prisoners? Humans call it self-employment.”

“…”

“…”

It was Bern that broke the silence.

“Prepare the waiting room.”

“suddenly?”

“Since the office has become like this because of you, we need another place to continue the interview.”

“You’re going to keep making the office this way?”

“You were the one who broke in and destroyed the office. And I said I would definitely interview all the prisoners. Director of Purgatory, Kim Woo-jin. Follow orders.”

“Follow.”

Kim Woo-jin snorted and turned his back.

“But are you going to claim everything that is broken?”

* * *

Kim Woo-jin, who escorted Vern to the waiting room, called Tarkan.

“Why did you refuse? It wouldn’t have been a bad suggestion for you either.”

I was honestly surprised. However, Tarkan rather questioned.

“Do you really think so?”

“Beasts revere strength. There is no one in this world as strong as God.”

“Power is also power. According to the warden, all prisoners must become fanatics.”

When I thought so, I did it again.

The gods were undoubtedly supreme beings, and very suitable for beastmen to worship.

But no one believes in God. only believe in yourself

“Because I haven’t seen it myself and it’s because it’s too far away.”

“These two don’t apply to you now, don’t they?”

“We also have a line. If the person who put us here is trembling with the same hypocrisy, I rather want to crush it.”

It was only then that Kim Woo-jin came up with an element that beastmen consider as important as strength. it is silver

“Of course, if I didn’t do it, it would be a lie.”

Jailbreak failed and all possibilities were blocked. It would be a lie if he said he felt the difference in rank and decided to serve Kim Woo-jin, but did not despair.

but.

“The guy said so. There will be an opportunity to bite the warden.”

hehehehe, Tarkan laughed.

“He shouldn’t have said that. In other words, isn’t it that being with the Warden gives us a chance to bite the gods who have imprisoned us here?”

Kim Woo-jin, simply the manager of the prison, and the gods who put them directly into purgatory. Isn’t it obvious which one wants to bite more?

“Well.”

does that happen?

Kim Woo-jin did not know that he would have thoughts like this in his lifetime.

‘Thank you, Bern.’

There was nothing like an enemy on the outside to unite the chaotic inside.

* * *

Meanwhile.

Kang Min-sik faced God.

“O supreme god.”

I bowed my head at the supreme presence.

“What do you want from me?”

“I will give you the power of God. I will watch over you.”

so.

“Tear down Purgatory.”

Kang Min-sik swallowed dry saliva.
