Chapter 43: Sin and Punishment (3)

aggressor.

I didn't know those words would come out of Ra's mouth.

- You must have been surprised. Didn't you expect me to be so honest with you?

When Jamie remained silent, unanswered, Ra said with a smirk.

- What does it mean to have to stand up for orthodoxy in front of you? He said he would be angry if I told him that the main shrine was the true god of this land. Just like the Pyro did.

When it was mentioned while standing still, the Pyro shrugged for nothing.

Jamie glanced at her, then looked back at Ra and asked.

"Why did you appear in front of me? Judging by your attitude, it seems that you didn't come here to fight.

-haha. Like I said before, let me be straight. The fight itself doesn't work.

"You won't know until you try."

- Only use.

As Jamie raised the momentum, Ra held out her index finger.

- That's all for nothing, Jamie Welton. You are feeling the gap with the main seat. I mean, you know the big difference. Still, to provoke the main seat is nothing more than the growl of a frightened dog. And I call that a rarity.

"Are you talking more than you think?"

-Tell me to be considerate. It's the consideration of the principal who doesn't want to harm you yet.

"You're making a comfortable sound on the subject that keeps scratching my stomach!"

Jamie took Longinus in his hand and shoved it right into Ra's face.

break-

Sparks flew through its shiny round head.

However, the hole was filled back naturally, and rather began to swallow Longinus.

- Is it the cursed spear? I almost killed Janice with this. It was quite interesting back then, but when I actually experienced it myself, it wasn't as big as I thought.

"Why did you come to me !"

Jamie let out an annoyed voice as she watched Longinus engulfed in the light.

Ra looked at him quietly and said, revealing his shadowy lips over his flat face.

"First of all, I think the Pyro is trying to say something presumptuous. I came here with the intention of shutting it down."

The voice that sounded like tinnitus was changed into a realistic form.

"And, I also wanted to alert you."

"Awareness?"

"You are aiming for all 12 gods, and at the peak of that is the main throne. I don't know when it will be, but in the end, standing in front of the main seat is probably your goal.

"My goal is not to stand in front of you, but to pluck your neck out of his body."

"It's great confidence. However, I learned that there are some things that confidence alone is not enough. and.

Ra raised the corners of her lips in an uncomfortable way.

"Don't say strong words. You look weak."

The atmosphere became heavy in an instant.

Jamie felt like he was going to be crushed at any moment, so he tightened his legs.

Ra shook his head as he looked at Jamie, who was trying not to kneel.

"It's you too. Great."

" ."

"Be stronger. Whether you use the Pyro or do something else, take down any enemies that stand in your way. I hope to build it up like that and stand in front of the main seat someday."

"Are you going to wait until I get stronger? You will regret not stepping on it now."

"Fufu."

Ra walked over to Jamie's nose and put a hand on his shoulder.

"Don't worry. This is because I have never regretted it since I was born."

"You will regret that."

Jamie was going to make it happen.

In a very satisfied voice, he patted his shoulder.

"I am looking forward to it. Don't let this seat disappoint. All those who have said that so far have disappointed him."

He turned and spoke to the Pyro, who was standing leaning against the wall.

"Pyro. I'll condone you helping Jamie Welton, but you better watch your mouth. Remember, you always have my eyes and ears."

The fire of the sun that filled the room went out like a lie, and Ra's figure disappeared out of nowhere.

* * *

As the pressure went away, Jamie let out a breath she had been holding back.

"Whew ."

Pyro was also nervous, so the wall slid as it leaned and fell to the floor.

It was not like the beings who had reached transcendence, but the existence of the sun god alone overwhelms them.

A truly unbelievable monster.

Do you have to deal with such a monster yourself?

how? It was a first-hand experience."

As Jamie was sweating, the Pyro asked in a weak voice.

"Like you said, I ran away. Just because I'm afraid of that monster. just pretending not to know He seemed to know all of that."

"What do you mean?"

"I will help you."

" What are you up to?"

As the Pyro's attitude suddenly changed, Jamie looked at her with a vigilant look.

Pyro shook his head and approached Ricky, who was lying down.

He said softly stroking his hair.

"I see today. After all, he has no intention of keeping us alive in the end."

"Are we referring to the 12 gods?"

okay. It occurred to me that Janice might have known about it sooner. Because that guy was Ra's loyalist.

So now they are creating a force against Ra.

somehow to survive.

Of course, Janice's purpose will not end there.

Because the guy Jamie knew was the ugliest guy in the world.

But in Jamie's eyes, he was no different as a Pyr.

As if reading those eyes, the Pyro smiled weakly and said.

"It's the eyes that say that there is no difference between me and Janice."

"Did you expect to hear good things from me?"

"Honestly, I don't want to die. To La and to you. I have been thinking a lot about this incident."

"Are you still greedy after living that long?"

She laid Ricky on the bed and looked at him with tender eyes.

"Guilt."

Pyro said so, and turned his gaze back to Jamie.

"It fills up."

What are you talking about.

"Like you said, I averted my eyes and lived. The feeling of not agreeing is still there, and it will always be. Also, if someone like Ra presses him, he will look away from him in the same way."

"Also you !"

"But I feel guilty. I don't know why it's happening now, but the moment I hear you say it.

She remembered what Jamie had said.

'It's okay to show some mercy to humans too.'

Yes.

From the moment I heard those words, an unknown feeling began to fill my heart.

I didn't know what it was, but by constantly listening to Jamie, I knew what it was.

"I was a sinner."

" ."

"I became a coward who was afraid of great power and could not even keep my beliefs, and the sin of neglecting despite my efforts was created. Look."

The Pyro ripped off his right sleeve and showed his arm.

His forearms were dying black.

"The bees have begun."

The onset of punishment was proof that she herself recognized what she had done as a sin.

The Pyro rubbed his rotting forearm.

It hurt, but it didn't hurt.

For she felt, this pain was nothing compared to the pain that the human species has ever felt.

In fact, even thinking like this would be deceiving to them.

It is now too late to come to regret it.

"So I will help you. Help you, if it's all over... ."

The Pyro, who was prepared, talked about his plans for the future.

"I will spend the rest of my life serving people. Until my sins are forgiven."

"I'll beg you too."

Ricky woke up and got up from the bed and bowed his head to Jamie.

"Give me one last chance."

Jamie's face contorted.

I couldn't quite figure out how to take that word.

And then there's Ricky.

My stomach is boiling.

But knowing that everything she said was sincere, Jamie couldn't help but squeeze her trembling hands.

"All my life do you serve? Until your sins are taken away?"

okay.

"Do you think it is a sin that will go away?"

I do not know.

I do not know?

"I will just continue to serve. Thinking that one day all my sins will be forgiven."

Jamie looked at her and erased her crest on her left hand.

"Keep holding on to the others until I get rid of Obllion. You can't even do that, can you?

"Leave it to me."

" Ricky, please take care of yourself."

With those words, Jamie left the headquarters of the Pyro Church.

Ricky sighed in relief and sat down on the floor.

Then he said to the Pyro.

"Jamie forgave me."

Forgiveness ."

Pyro pondered those two letters.

' Jamie Welton. You were him too.'

Realizing her identity late, she made a self-helpful expression as if she had nothing to say.

If he was Diablo Volfir himself, she could never go against what he said.

Because Diablo was the true king of humans.

* * *

"Did you do well?"

Jamie sat on an unknown cliff and watched the sunset.

He could have killed the Pyro, but he didn't.

I couldn't understand why he didn't kill me, even now that I think about it.

Was it because of her last words?

Can you believe that?

"Serve your whole life."

Since she was a symbol of sin and punishment, all of those words must have been true this time as well.

That being said, her regrets and remorse cannot be denied either.

So I felt even worse.

It felt dirty and even disgusting to say that now.

But.

So Jamie gave him another chance.

She hasn't forgiven her yet, but it's also true that she needs her when she considers the situation in the future.

"If you betray me I will make you feel more pain than death."

Jamie shuffled through the Pyro's thoughts, this time thinking of Ra.

A monster that suddenly infiltrated his space.

At the same time, I couldn't understand the thoughts of that guy who didn't even want to kill himself.

'What's his goal?'

What is certain is that Jamie wants to be strong enough to reach him.

I don't know why you want that, but I'm sure you'll regret it.

Ra said that he never regretted it, but the first time is always difficult.

Regret once, then twice, and then three.

'no. There's no need for him to regret so much.'

One time is enough.

Because that will be his end.

"Shall we go back?"

First of all, it will wipe out the Nihru Church, and even the leeches that were attached to them will be removed.

that time.

"Ah, uncle."

" ."

Anne sat down on the floor with her legs relaxed and called Beiros in an anxious voice.

However, Beiros did not receive an answer.

[It's nonsense.]

Beiros was drooping with someone's hand grabbing his neck.

It was a man with something black dripping down his whole body, as if a shadow was standing there.

The man looked at Beiros, who had lost consciousness, and said in a voice of regret.

[It is a vain power. It's a pity to see them recklessly rushing towards a wall they can't reach even though they struggled.]

The man put his index and middle fingers on Beiros' forehead, powerlessly dropping his gray eyes.

[Come back. into my arms.]

No!!

Anne took out a wand and performed a 4th class lightning magic at the man.

A powerful thunderbolt hit his body right with the roar of thunder.

However, the lightning didn't do any damage to his black body, and it was absorbed and disappeared.

will return to nonsense.

[Wait, human child. It's your turn next.]

With those words, Beiros' body began to sink into 'emptiness'.

Just like Lennon did.

Anne continued to attack with magic, but to no avail.

Why did this suddenly happen?

Clearly, Beiros was demonstrating overwhelming power against the Priests of Nimble.

There was absolutely no competition.

It was only turned into a hideous corpse by his hands.

Because of this, Anne thought that all of this would, of course, end in victory.

But from the moment that man appeared, everything changed.

A man who suddenly appeared through a black hole in the sky spread strange darkness and absorbed all the priests of emptiness.

Then he said:

'The causal factor is filled.'

I still can't forget the voice of laughter.

After that, everything was one-sided.

Beiros never hit him a single hit, and he was unilaterally hit by the power of emptiness he sowed.

The startling spectacle ended in an instant.

It happened in just a minute or two.
