052. Elf

Kim Woo-jin has quite a lot of abilities. The power to control fire, the power to control space, and even the power to change shape.

The color of Kim Woo-jin’s hair and eyes turned red.

“…How many abilities do you have?”

“This is a little different from authority. I just let the mana of my inclination be expressed outside.”

When external mana is absorbed through mana heart, the nature of mana changes according to the method of practice and the person’s inclination.

Kim Woo-jin’s mana was as hot and red as fire. It was not a great power to change the shape, but rather it was just the expression of that red mana to the outside. It was annoying to have to operate it all the time, but that was nothing to Kim Woo-jin.

“Well then, where are you going?”

“here.”

Sienna pinched one side of the map she bought at the general store. There was a huge forest with Elven written on it.

“At least on the map, there’s not much difference from before I left here.”

“I would have intended. From God’s point of view, when the number of believers decreases, the amount of faith decreases. In a world that has become the realm of the gods, disputes between the same faiths rarely exist.”

“What about the elves who don’t serve the gods?”

“I’m on my way to find out about that now.”

Kim Woo-jin understood Sienna’s anxiety.

Not all gods are against elves. However, in the realm of the gods, elves could not bloom and live.

Because they don’t serve God. Gods have no obligation to take care of non-believers, those whose chances of becoming followers are infinitely close to zero.

In a one-eyed world, having two eyes is a problem, and elves who serve trees alone in a place where everyone serves a god have no choice but to be a problem.

It’s rare, but there are administrators who openly persecute elves.

“It would be easier if you asked me openly.”

“You don’t know what the situation is, so you have to be careful.”

He left Kalkan, the northern fortress city of Aslan Kingdom, and headed south. I passed through five towns and cities and did not see a single elf. I hadn’t even heard of elves.

Of course, that’s not particularly strange. It is common for elves to be closed-minded and not mix with humans.

But if it’s not simply because elves are closed-minded, but because they were exterminated as heretics, a problem arises the moment you mention them.

They would say they like Bern, who lights up their eyes to find Kim Woo-jin.

It may be a leap, but as long as this is the area of Bern, it is better to be careful of everything.

“There are temples overflowing here and there. It wasn’t like this when I was there.”

“You must have been walking around often.”

“For an elf, he had a wanderlust. That’s why I often heard the elders say that I was an outlier. But wouldn’t it be better to just sprint with full force?”

“Then the mana will definitely be revealed. Alien mana is perfect for getting noticed by Vern, who is looking for us with fire in his eyes.”

So, right now, while hiding mana as much as possible, is moderately fast. Although that alone is incomparable to the average person.

A few days later, the two entered a large city called Balkan. It was a city in the south of Aslan, and it was large enough to be compared to the royal capital.

“If it were here, wouldn’t there be at least one elf?”

“I think the same.”

The two of them decided to find a tavern and listen to rumors about this and that.

“Did you hear? An oracle has come down.”

“The saintess is coming in person!”

“Go quickly!”

It would have been if everyone hadn’t run out as soon as they entered.

“What is this?”

“Have you not heard the news? An oracle from God came down, and the saintess delivered the message herself. Oh my God, the saintess is coming here! Now is not the time for me to do this!”

The clerk left the customer and ran out. Only the two of them remained in the huge tavern that was crowded with people.

“It’s cold. I can’t even drink.”

“The bartender was the first to leave.”

“How would you like to see it?”

“A saint?”

“It’s not bad to know who you are once. It can be a good tool if needed.”

“What if?”

“hostage?”

“Good idea.”

There was no need to find a temple. It was because I could see the center of the city, the huge white roofs.

The temple is occupying the most yolk land of the big city. It is indeed a dimension worthy of being called a region.

A large number of people gathered around the temple. Maybe the whole population of the city was crowded, it was so enormous.

“The saintess is coming!”

And the saintess arrived.

* * *

The saintess broke the expectations of Kim Woo-jin and Sienna.

Everyone else’s heads went up as their eyes turned to the boulevard.

“It’s a saintess! The saintess has come!”

“Oh oh! Heaven!”

Amethyst-colored hair that fell down to her waist and flowed in the sky, golden pupils and pure white priestly clothes as if she had been chosen by a god.

And even the most brilliant wings of light.

Its appearance was graceful and noble.

The eyes and mouth that drew the crescent moon were full of benevolence. The divine power that radiated gently instilled reverence in everyone.

Her legs landed softly on the ground. the wings are gone

“Nice to meet you, everyone.”

A soft voice spread quietly.

“I am Diane Dietrin, the first servant of God. May the mercy of heaven always be with you.”

“May the mercy of heaven always be with you.”

The dense crowd around the temple knelt down and bowed their heads in unison.

Kim Woo-jin secretly hid himself between the buildings with Sienna. I didn’t want to worship Bern and bow my head.

“executor?”

“You made the executioner a saint.”

In general, a human with excellent divine sensitivity is considered a saint or a saint, but in a domain where the power of a god is full, it would not be strange if the executioner was made a saint.

In order to send an enforcer down to a lower dimension, a god has to take care of that karma, but if it’s a realm, there’s no need for that.

“God has given an oracle. A dark-haired, black-eyed demon in the great land… beware of corruption…”

“You have become a demon who corrupts innocent believers.”

“Well, it’s not wrong from their point of view.”

“However, God watches over you, and darkness will never invade the light and the sky…”

“That makes no sense. You and I have already broken through the dimensional barrier.”

“It was like that until it was originally observed.”

“Observation fools innocent people. That’s a funny expression.”

Most of the creatures do not know it, but God is not very different from the creatures. It’s just that he’s high in rank, strong, and possesses authority.

“…in the name of the earth and the earth and the sky that embraces them all.”

“Everything is as God wills.”

“Everything is as God wills.”

The story of the saintess is over. The believers kept their mouths shut even more reverently.

“You saw something you didn’t have to see.”

“I don’t think it would be easy to kidnap an enforcer of that level.”

“Yes, you can’t go unnoticed in a place like this. Let’s go at once.”

Still, knowing that Bern was openly using the Enforcers in the lower dimension, it wasn’t that there was no harvest at all.

“Let’s go out through the south gate.”

“Yes.”

Kim Woo-jin and Sienna turned around. And it stopped.

“hello. Both of you.”

There was a woman occupying the middle of the alley. It was the saintess who had been preaching the word of God among the crowd until just now.

They didn’t ask where they came from. because I already knew

“A saint?”

“What business do you have with us?”

“It looks like you haven’t seen these faces. Where are you from?”

“These are mercenaries who were active in the North. I am moving to the warm South in search of a new job.”

“okay.”

The saintess smiled benevolently.

“If you don’t mind, can I join you on the journey?”

“suddenly?”

“It would be an honor if the saintess would be with us, but can you tell us why?”

“Because there is a mission given by God.”

“What if it’s a mission?”

“It is to give all those living on this earth a chance to serve Heaven sincerely.”

Her eyes shone with a sense of mission.

“What does that have to do with being with us?”

“When the word of God was preached, everyone knelt down and listened reverently. Except for two people.”

“…does that matter?”

“It doesn’t matter. It’s been decades since God’s grace has been given to this world, but can’t we be strong to listen to God’s word to everyone? God doesn’t want that either. He is the one who treats everyone only with mercy.”

“So?”

“However, as a servant who has been entrusted with a mission, how can he remain silent? Even if you do not listen to the word of God, there is nothing in this world more precious than the word of God.”

Golden pupils sway.

“People need water and food to survive. But even if you have anorexia and reject it, wouldn’t it be impossible not to feed it?”

Kim Woo-jin noticed what she was talking about.

“Are you saying that the saintess will personally deliver the message?”

“There are no words. God’s mercy is fused into everything in this world. I just don’t know. It’s like we don’t easily appreciate the things we take for granted.”

It’s just a reminder.

“I have no intention of forcing you to believe. Faith is something that must come from the heart. I just want to follow you and help you.”

“What if I say no?”

“Fine.”

Surprisingly, she nodded her head obediently.

“I am not a believer who serves God, so I know that you will be uncomfortable with me. That my actions now seem reckless.”

“you’re right.”

“But sometimes there are things you have to do without knowing it. If you know that you are going the wrong way, but do not lead the way, how can that be called the attitude of a believer following God?”

It wasn’t.

Kim Woo-jin was a little taken aback. It was because it was the first time that a crazy bitch rushed to such a reckless level.

It would be better to just kill them if they jumped up to fight, but it wasn’t a very good choice to make a case and reveal the location first when that wasn’t the case.

At least the current saintess doesn’t notice that Kim Woo-jin is the devil Berne is looking for.

“This is absolutely beautiful…”

Kim Woo-jin covered Sienna’s mouth. The saintess smiled brightly.

“I understand. Believers who believe in God in the first place get cursed at.”

“What will you do if you still refuse?”

“Do you hate it that much?”

“Yes.”

“This world is full of great heavenly grace.”

“I don’t know.”

“Everyone is eager to join me, God’s First Apostle.”

“Unfortunately, not us.”

“If you refuse to do so, there is nothing I can do about it. Needless rudeness only brings resentment against God. I will take a step back today.”

She made the sign of the cross and bowed her head.

“May the mercy of heaven be with you. I will pray to God that you will be filled with mercy and grace, and that we will be able to meet again next time.”

“thank you.”

The saintess disappeared.

“…Isn’t that a crazy bitch?”

“Get out of here quickly. There’s nothing better than getting involved.”

“It’s sympathy.”

Kim Woo-jin and Sienna hurriedly left. However, after they disappeared, the saintess appeared once more.

“My merciful God. It’s a pity that there are still a lot of unbelievers who don’t believe in you.”

God’s mercy and grace are in the whole world, but denying it and not believing in God? How can I be so ignorant?

“However, it is my job to guide them and lead them on the right path.”

That’s why she is a saint. A saint before being an enforcer. His first apostle before becoming a saint.

“I will definitely bring them back.”

She had to find the demon named Kim Woo-jin, but it was done by numerous followers and enforcers under her command anyway, so what she had to do right away was right.

Her eyes burned with a sense of mission.

* * *

“So what?”

Kim Woo-jin’s forehead wrinkled. Why did things turn out this way?

So, it was nothing special. After meeting the saintess, he immediately left the city. He hurriedly hurriedly passed several villages so quickly that ordinary people could not keep up.

However, when he entered the next city, there was a saintess.

“I see you again here.”

She welcomed Kim Woo-jin and Sienna.

“I never thought we would meet again like this, but isn’t this fate? Where are you two going?”

“I do not know.”

“Were you waiting?”

“Could that be? I was also on my way to fulfill God’s mission. However, isn’t it God’s attraction to meet like this?”

“Didn’t you follow me like a stalker?”

“I am a servant of God. I don’t do dirty things like that.”

“You seem to know that it’s nasty.”

When Siena fired a quick shot, the smile on the corner of the saintess’ lips grew even thicker.

“By the way, do you think it’s polite to take off your robe and talk when you’re talking to each other?”

“Because I’m not really talking to you. It just sticks…”

In an instant, the saintess’ hand moved.

“In front of God there must be nothing to hide.”

Sienna reacted, but her robes came off in a determined gale.

“ah.”

“···Elf?”

The saintess’ gaze turned to Sienna’s ear, which rose sharply.

her brow wrinkled.

“…What is it, then the elf has been talking back?”
