Chapter 23: The Apostles (2)

Apostle?

When Krion looked surprised, Noah said with a benevolent smile.

"I understand your surprise. When he suddenly said that he was Sado, I would have been surprised."

" I haven't heard of the apostle's birth.

"It is the will of God. There is no need to explain it to the believer."

Crion's face frowned at Noah's words, which nailed Zenith's sword as a believer.

"Are you referring to this body as a believer?"

Hahaha. Of course, you are not a single believer. You're still Zenith's sword. But... ."

Noah, who was smiling, smiled and asked Creon.

"How long will you be quiet?"

what?

"I continue to respect you, but I was wondering if this was the right thing to do when a person below me treats a person above me."

my Senior?"

"Isn't it?"

Noah spread her arms wide and smiled brightly.

"I was chosen by my father, Janice God, and became his alter ego. He is the second highest being in the Zenith Church after his father. but you? iced coffee. Of course, I know you are not lowly. But even so, you're not in a higher position than me, are you? Even swearing allegiance is not enough."

Krion, who had a puzzled expression on his face for a while, stared at Noah and suddenly started to laugh.

"Kiki Kiki Kiki Kick! KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!"

"Hey. What are you having so much fun with?"

father! Father! Is this also an ordeal you inflicted on me?"

Kryon looked up at the sky out of nowhere and shouted like a madman.

"Then, I see."

Then he reached out towards the corpse of the soldier lying on the floor.

The sword held by the corpse was sucked into his hand.

As soon as it was held in my hand, a fierce aura erupted from the sword violently.

The overwhelming power that was not refined at all, but felt like a grand master, began to rage like a storm.

Noah muttered out of regret.

"You must have been very tired for the past five years."

Then he slowly raised his hand.

"It wouldn't be a bad idea to start by changing your habits. This or that, it is your father's sword, and it cannot be cast down without your permission... ."

The pure white Zenith's divinity is condensed with your fingertips.

"It is said that the nature of a hunting dog is refined through training, so it can be seen as a part of education."

"It's been nonsense ever since! annoying!!"

Unable to hear, Kryon burst into anger and ran towards Noah.

No matter how much God's apostle, even Creon's Black Dragon, who became a Grand Master, could not easily stop him.

Unlike before, he became sincere and swung his sword with the intention of severing Noah's head at once.

"I'll start by telling you the difference in class."

Noah reached forward with his right hand slightly outstretched.

A high-density Auror blade touched his right hand.

Krion tried to blow off his neck with his hands.

tuk-

Noah's right hand was pushed back slightly, but that's about it.

The fluttering Auror blade burned in the air without cutting his right hand or pushing it with force.

Krion's eyes lit up with astonishment.

No matter how much force was applied to the hand holding the sword, the sword could not move forward.

It had the power to cut down even a huge rock like a piece of paper, but even the slender palm of a human being could not penetrate it.

It was an incomprehensible situation.

The opponent did not use much force.

I honestly felt that the divinity I had gathered in my hand was insignificant.

Then Noah said.

"Did I tell you, Sado?"

Sado is.

God's agent.

god's body.

Messiah ordained by God.

"Being born as a human and gaining power that far surpassed the limits of a human being with just one sword, it is definitely a great thing. But it is."

Kryon's aura shook.

An unknown and unprecedented power began to scatter Zenith's divinity.

Kryon couldn't contain his bewilderment at the sudden phenomenon.

It felt like everything about him was succumbing to what was happening.

As I was about to step back, Noah grabbed the blade lightly.

It was so light that I thought I could take it out if I wanted to.

However, Kryon could not pull out his sword.

It was impossible no matter how hard I tried.

It was even more incredible because the Grand Master was in a state that was not bound by power.

Noah gave the answer to that question.

"It gives me a lot of strength."

why Why didn't you fall for it?

"Fufu. You are misunderstanding something."

what are you talking about.

Noah said this to Krion's bewildered voice.

"Aren't you even trying to get rid of it? But you're asking me why I don't fall out.

"You mean I don't want to take it out?"

It couldn't be.

Kryon was still struggling to pull out the sword.

Purple.

Aren't the Grand Master's arms trembling to the point of trembling?

It was definitely like that... .

'Why am I only giving you strength?'

It was giving strength to the arm, but not pulling it.

Why do I have the illusion of pulling?

No, it's obviously trying to pull, but why isn't it?

"That's right, Sir Krion."

to me What have you done?"

"It's not what happened. It's just natural."

" ."

"I am the representative of my father, the alter ego of my father, the Savior and Messiah whom my father sent down to this earth. And you are the sword that protects such a father. In other words, wouldn't it be a sword to protect me?"

no way ."

"It is impossible for the guarding sword to aim at the target it is guarding. This is against the divine law, and cannot exist under the Father's law."

Noah put down his sword and took a step closer to Krion.

Krion stepped back without realizing it.

He had tried to kill Noah mercilessly until before, but now he doesn't feel like a lie.

No, only one heart welled up from deep within.

It was incomprehensible, but in other words, it was not necessary to understand it.

Krion stood facing Noah and slowly knelt down on one knee.

Then he said

"This article swears to dedicate this body to the representative of God."

"That's it, Sir Krion. I hope to go along well.

The light shining from the crack in the ceiling enveloped the two of them.

Believers gathered around the area, joined hands, and began to pray to their father, Zenith.

* * *

The main hall of the church, where the five colors of light pour through the stained glass.

An impressive boy with silky brown hair was kneeling and praying.

The boy looked like he was now in his mid-teens, wearing a pure white robe and holding a rosary of pure gold in his hand.

Then, someone opened the door to the main hall and entered.

He was a handsome man with bright blonde hair and a paladin outfit.

He bowed his head to the boy who was praying, putting his right fist to his chest.

"Holy Executor Lars Armetic, you are back."

came?

"If I had known that you were praying, I would have greeted you later. sorry.

"We even apologize to each other like this. The Goddess must have commanded you to receive Lord Lars' greetings rather than to offer prayers to you.

At that, Lars smiled slightly and shook his head.

The boy also stopped praying and got up.

"Whoa. Today's prayer is over. Shall we go eat for a while?

The boy, Ricky, turned around and smiled coolly.

Seeing that cheerful figure, Lars smiled and nodded his head.

"They say the meal is ready."

"Because when the two of you are together, talk comfortably."

"The more you two, the more serious it should be. You are no longer a child."

"When you're thirteen, you're a kid."

Ricky, who turned thirteen this year, was performing his duties perfectly for his age as an apostle of the Goddess, the highest order of the Pyro Church.

As a result, Lars and other people around him no longer treated him as a child.

Ricky himself thought that he had grown up regardless of his age, but he always referred to himself as a child because he thought that if he gave up his childhood, he would lose his creativity.

"Aren't you?"

"It seems that the saint went out for a while."

but. It's a fun time to be around."

Ricky, thinking of his younger sister, smiled involuntarily.

Anna, who was blind, fully awakened her divinity a year ago, and finally opened her eyes.

After spending 10 years in the dark, the light has returned, and since the opening of the eyes to today, he has been walking around non-stop.

"How about the wires?"

"It is still. The countries on the ; Kariren side also have masters, and ; Olvia also has a balance of power, so only small-scale battles are taking place."

The Eastern Continent ; Kariren led by the Zenith Church.

In order to subdue the Zenith Church, the Northern ; Olvia Alliance and the Pyro Church united around Seldam.

Because the cause was in the northern ; Olvia , the western ; Arisha and the southern ; Brion expressed their intention not to intervene.

And the central continent ; Haron was in a state that did not reveal any intentions.

It's attached to both continents, so you can't threaten it recklessly.

But the leaders knew.

"There has not been a proper engagement yet, but when the war begins in earnest, there is a high possibility that some kingdoms in ; Haron will join with the Lily Church."

Zenith, the god of war and peace, Brahman, the dragon, and Lily, the goddess of beauty, were one faction.

In the case of the dragon god, he will not intervene in this war because he cannot tamper with the dragon race.

If they intervene in war, the high elves and Ran will not stand still.

But with Lily, it was a different story.

"You should expect other denominations to check it. In fact, it seems that negotiations are going on in secret."

"I'm really glad that this world is all made up of religions."

This land is very strange, there was freedom of religion in any country.

No matter how corrupt a country was, it could not block the choice of religion.

Ricky thought the reason was because the influence of the 12 gods was too strong.

On this earth, the 12 gods are absolute, not abstract beings, but real transcendental beings, so even the king of one country could not recklessly criticize other religions.

So, although they could reject other religions, there were no cases of rejection.

Because it feels like an insult to that religion.

For that reason, there were many cases in which the religion of each territory was different in one country, and there were also cases where the religion of the people in the territory was different.

Religions are more likely to be unified, but because of such a characteristic, it was difficult for the Lily Church to move freely.

"I'm glad ; Olvia has a perfect alliance system."

"The Kingdom of Seldam played a big role."

Seldam, the northern hegemony, criticized the Zenith Church for summoning demons through dialogue rather than force, and united the powers of the northern kingdoms as a pretext.

But behind the scenes, there were many contracts, and besides, there were interventions by the gods who hated the Zenith faction.

"The system of the 12 gods has already collapsed. You have to attack first to survive."

"That means ."

"I want to see the Pope."

Although he was still young in appearance, he was an alter ego of the Pyro goddess, an agent, and a savior sent by the goddess.

He was also the highest ranking member of the denomination.

His will is the will of the denomination, and his choice is the choice of the denomination.

"Now?"

Ricky laughed at Lars' question.

"First, we have to eat. If you want to do something, don't you want to eat?"

With that innocent expression, Ricky didn't know what rhythm to match.

He smiled sadly and nodded.

"That's right."

"By the way."

Please speak.

"Is Jamie doing well?"

"Jamira ."

Five years ago, I had never met Apton for the last time.

I only heard the news from time to time.

"I heard the news a few months ago that he did a great job."

"I know that you played a big role in repulsing the holy water of God Drian and transforming Harmonia into a new country."

"He's a really cool guy. Can we see you soon?"

"We will see you soon. Because Jamie wants it more than anyone else."

Even if he didn't have to say what he wanted, Ricky understood.

He just nodded without a word.

I thought it wasn't too far off.

The great war for the life and death of the northern and eastern continents was approaching.
