053. The Real Enemy

“For some reason, he said he felt uneasy feelings toward me. Then everything makes sense.”

To think that the dwarf elf is still roaming these streets. K-Room, my God.

The saintess laughed in vain.

“I didn’t expect to ignore the mercy bestowed by God and face a wicked tree or a pagan tribe.”

The contempt in his eyes made Sienna furious.

“A strange tree? Are you done talking now?”

“It is not a perfect god, a perfect tree, or a perfect spirit. And the elves who believe in that tree are just restless pagans who do not recognize the true god even in front of them.”

“You say that you want to commit suicide by spinning around and saying it well.”

“As expected, they are a tribe that does not recognize the true God and worships a wicked tree. How dare you speak such absurd remarks at me, an apostle of God.”

Kim Woo-jin grabbed his forehead at the boiling point of life.

Fortunately, the moment I saw the saintess, I immediately got out of the city and was in a deserted place. If it’s unfortunate, it’s that I’ve been chasing this division.

“Let’s calm down for a moment.”

“Is there any reason to calm down in the face of a god-blaming heretic? Come to think of it, you were also a colleague with this heretic. Are you an advocate of the pagan, wicked tree?”

The gaze of the saintess turned to Kim Woo-jin this time.

“Does it matter if you are neither supportive nor hostile?”

“To not be hostile to the wicked trees of the heathen is to stand up for them.”

It was an extremely dichotomous view of values.

“If I had known you were an elf in the first place, I wouldn’t have approached you this way. It only punishes those who break the rules.”

Mana moved. Suddenly, a huge ax was in her hand.

“A rule?”

“Are you going to pretend you don’t know? All elves who serve the wicked tree deserve to be exterminated. Nevertheless, God has been merciful and has shown them mercy by living under God’s care elsewhere.”

“Evicting them from their place of residence, watching over them and merciful?”

“It is the grace of a merciful God that everyone saved lives that should have died.”

“yes. where···.”

I restrained the growling Sienna.

“Then the elves must be contained there. Where is this place?”

“That’s what Valoran Island… why don’t you guys know that? Whether you serve a god or not, those who don’t know that don’t exist in this dimension…”

The saintess’ face hardened.

“…that face.”

The saintess took out a piece of paper from her bosom. I compared it with Kim Woo-jin’s face.

It was like Although the hair color and eye color were different, everything was the same except for that.

“…The traitor, Kim Woo-jin. Is that correct?”

“Isn’t it strange that you put down conclusions and ask questions?”

“really!”

She swung the ax at the sudden change in tone and atmosphere.

aaang!

Kim Woo-jin’s fist and ax collided. A shockwave shook the surroundings.

The saintess used the shock to quickly widen the distance.

“I never thought we would meet like this, but it is a blessing from God. You gave me the opportunity to personally punish the traitor!”

Fluttering, the wings of light rose. Formidable divine power gathered around the axe.

“In the name of God, I will punish you…!”

──!

At that moment, the saintess hurriedly swung her ax at the flash of light.

“…to do something cowardly. Truly a heretic and a traitor to the wicked tree. I will have to punish you even more.”

“Did you say lucky?”

However, the saintess was unable to fulfill her will.

“no.”

The voice that came in suddenly was heard right in front of her nose. The ax came down with terrifying momentum, but was blocked by the sword of fire.

A savage hand grabbed the saintess’ neck and stabbed it straight down.

Quaang, she vomited blood.

“You are out of luck.”

A pair of heavy shoes stepped on her stomach. she screamed.

“Surely a traitor whom even gods are wary of…!”

Still, the eyes were straight.

“However, even though there will be hardships, evil will eventually kneel before God…!”

──!

The saintess barely clenched her fists. A huge lightning strike fell from the clear sky.

“God bless you!”

Once, twice, three times, ten times, twenty times, fifty times.

He beat Kim Woo-jin endlessly, without a break.

Until the birds fly away, the trees burn, and the earth crumbles.

“Are you done?”

Even so, Kim Woo-jin was fine.

“···how?”

“So you should have just turned it off when you said no.”

Puck, the saintess fainted.

* * *

“mmm…”

The saintess opened her eyes. My whole body ached and ached.

“why me···.”

The fist that filled my retinas came to mind. One step later, I remembered.

In order to complete the mission given by God, he tried to propagate to the shamans, but he was a pagan elf. And that colleague was the traitor Kim Woo-jin.

fought and lost It was an overwhelming difference.

I wondered how a non-god could have such power.

‘body···.’

His hands and feet were suppressed, and mana rods were completely blocked, making it impossible to use mana. The saintess prayed in her weakened body.

“God, look upon your lowly servant. Please save me from this darkness.”

Even though darkness came and covered her, God will eventually save her.

“It sucked. quite.”

It was Kim Woo-jin. He was sitting on a rock, looking at her with his chin up. In one hand, he held a bottle of black water with ice floating on it.

It was still red eyes and hair.

“What do you do as soon as you wake up? You were fanatical.”

“What are you going to do with me?”

She was surprisingly calm.

“Isn’t it too obvious when you’re alive?”

“You intend to take me hostage. As a means to put pressure on God.”

“That is correct.”

It can’t be. You can be a burden to God.

The saintess checked her body condition once again. The flow of mana is unstable due to the hand and foot restraints.

‘I feel the energy of God.’

It is a familiar power that has been felt for a long time. Maybe if you try, you can solve it. If restraints are everything.

The alien aura that blocked the main mana road was clearly that of a traitor. Even if he moved his mana, he didn’t budge like a solid iron wall.

Suicide is impossible under these circumstances. Her body wasn’t so weak that she would die just by biting her tongue.

It’s an outsider. She realized she couldn’t escape.

“God, forgive my disobedient servant.”

It really became a burden. However, I’m sorry, God will achieve what you want in the end.

“Even if you use me as a hostage, you won’t achieve what you want.”

“why?”

“Because God will save me in the end and punish you.”

“Well, even if he were to kill me, you would be killed by me first.”

“But the soul will be saved.”

“What if I win?”

“There is no such thing as that.”

“Aren’t you too confident? There are ifs in this world.”

“A creature like you may exist, but not a god.”

A perfect and supreme being. that is god It can never be that God is defeated.

That’s why he’s a god, and that’s why he’s an absolute being.

“Even if you’re stronger than me and alarm the gods, in the end everything will go according to the gods’ will.”

It’s just a pity and apologetic that I can’t be with you and become a burden even to the smallest degree.

Seeing his unwavering gaze, Kim Woo-jin realized that persuasion or threats were useless.

“It’s fun.”

However, that’s why I suddenly became curious.

If that trust is broken.

When he found out that something like Bern was not worthy of such absolute faith and faith.

“What will become of the zealots who have lost their faith?”

“That never happens.”

So I’m dead when I’m dead, I won’t cooperate with anything you want.

“And fanaticism. It is natural to believe in and serve God. Please refrain from such obscene titles.”

The saintess closed her eyes.

“Well, I don’t really need your cooperation.”

Kim Woo-jin laughed.

“I already got everything I wanted.”

“…!”

* * *

There were two main reasons why Kim Woo-jin and Sienna came to K-Room.

To find the escaped Carlo.

To find out what became of the elves.

In fact, the former didn’t have to worry too much. Unless Bern is an idiot, he must be protecting it himself, so he had to bump into it anyway to find it.

So, what we had to do before that was to deal with the elves’ problems. It’s not right to make an elf a weakness.

It doesn’t matter if all the elves here search or not, but Siena is a little different.

And the reason I couldn’t ask about the elf was to avoid being discovered as much as possible.

However, everything was revealed while fighting the saintess. Now it’s a race against time. Kim Woo-jin and Sienna hurriedly sold their feet while avoiding the seat and easily found the answer.

It was easier because the saintess left a clue that it was Valoran Island.

“The island of Valoran? Isn’t it the island where the elves were exiled? Mercy of the Great K-Rum. It gave hope of life to the pagans who worshiped the wicked tree. It’s too much for them.”

“Where is Valoran? That’s right, of course…”

It was no big secret in this world that the elves were exiled, and that the island of Valoran was the elves’ exile.

Kim Woo-jin and Sienna flew to the elves’ forest with the imprisoned saintess. I did my best because I had nothing to hold back anymore. Reaching the edge of the southern dimension was a matter of seconds.

I couldn’t see the island there, but I could feel the barrier created by the power of the gods.

“This···.”

“Your barrier.”

“It’s a great god’s barrier, so you’ll never be able to enter…”

Kim Woo-jin split it at once.

And where there was nothing, a small island appeared.

The island was dense. However, that was all.

“······,”

“…”

Neither Kim Woo-jin nor Sienna felt anything there.

To be precise, there was no life energy.

“···No.”

Sienna’s complexion turned pale. hurried to the island.

Kim Woo-jin followed.

What I could see in the middle of the forest was a huge, white mountain.

“No, no, no, no, no…!”

It was a rotten stench and black bloodstains that had dried and twisted. Enough to cover the entire forest.

“aaagh!”

Sienna screamed. Tears flowed from her eyes. dyed red

Kim Woo-jin inspected the mountain of remains. It was undoubtedly an elf bone. It was the tomb of the elves.

It’s been a while since he died. Perhaps he was killed the moment he entered this place.

“Is this the justice of the God you believe in? After inciting them to spare them, secretly killing them all?”

“…God has already given me many chances. Even so, it was the elves who did not seize that opportunity.”

The saintess’s stiff-faced reply was a little delayed. Maybe she wasn’t aware of this, I thought.

“You kill them all like that?”

“It is what God has done. There must be a meaning and a reason for it.”

But her faith still hasn’t faded.

“Two bitches!”

Siena’s kick hit the saintess’ head. The saintess was rolling around without a look.

Furious deaths exploded in all directions.

“Are you talking about something like that now?”

“Traitors cannot be spared. God made the right choice.”

“Who is the traitor! You pseudo bastard!”

Bang bang!

The ground vibrated whenever Sienna’s feet fell. The saintess rolled her body into a circle. Blood spurted everywhere.

“die! Die!”

At that time, Kim Woo-jin grabbed Sienna.

“Stop.”

“Let go.”

“I understand your anger, but now is not the time to worry about the bugs you’ve caught.”

Kim Woo-jin’s eyes were not looking at her. His eyes were on the sky, and God was there.

there were gods

“The real enemy has come.”

“…Those motherfuckers!”

Sienna’s anger toward God exploded like a volcano.
