Chapter 488

Beloved by the Gods (2)

Burned down temple dungeon.

Among them, Lennok was confined in the darkest and most isolated solitary cell.

Even though I am wearing a public coat distributed by the lighthouse, a chill creeps into my body without adding or subtracting.

I wanted to turn over to escape the cold, but the heavy chains on my limbs restrained even that action.

Clap!!

The handcuffs, made of navy blue alloy, were thicker than Lennok’s forearms. It must be a type of barrier metal created to suppress the flow of magical power.

However, Lennok was unable to move due to the weight of the handcuffs rather than the function of these handcuffs.

While watching such Lennok’s appearance, dozens of correctional knights surrounded the prison.

rattle!!

At the end of the corridor, I heard footsteps walking into the prison.

Arriving in an instant was Gevin Melwood, the captain of the corrections department with a gloomy impression.

Looking down at the bound Lennok with expressionless eyes, Gervin muttered to the knights standing behind him.

“I would have told you to sever all the tendons in your limbs.”

“... ... sorry. We couldn’t pierce that mage’s skin with our own strength.”

“Even after wearing 20 layers of magic blocking devices?”

“Somehow, it seems that there is a special ban on the bloodline itself.”

Of course, there was no such thing, only Lenok, who was not affected by the blocking device, was wearing a simple barrier over his skin.

However, there was no way the proofreaders knew that Lennok was not affected by the restraints.

At the same time that they caught Lennok, the belongings confiscated were only things like daggers and lighters that Lennok didn’t need right away.

Gerbin shot at such knights as if to reprimand them.

“I should have called the agents and made sure it was dealt with. Didn’t you say that even if a limb is cut off, as long as you put your life on it, it’s a good sacrifice?”

“that... ... .”

“Don’t do useless acting like that.”

Lennok, who was quietly listening to the knights’ conversation, smiled.

“It’s hard to hear more.”

“what?”

“If I really meant to amputate my limbs, I would have done it right where the agents and knights gathered. Isn’t it?”

“... ... .”

Of course, Lennok did not throw himself into a reckless gamble where he had to worry about his safety belatedly after he was caught.

The secret passage to the ammunition depot where the apostle Amrita was asleep.

He remembered that all of the hundreds of corpses that were offered as offerings to the 10 apostles had no wounds except for a hole in the armpit.

In other words, it is proof that in order to properly perform human sacrifice to the apostle, the body of the sacrifice must not have any scars.

Lennok was clearly aware of that fact from the start, so he was able to throw the odds of surrendering in Izel’s face without hesitation.

If Izel really intended to make Lennok a sacrifice, he wouldn’t even think about touching Lennok’s body in the first place.

The fact that even at the moment when he was surrounded by agents, he only brought a knife close to him and no one tried to hurt him was also a basis for speculation.

“Until right before making an offering to Amrita as a sacrifice, no wounds can be inflicted... ... . There’s no way your subordinates wouldn’t know that... ... .”

“dare... ... .”

Gebin’s expression, which was contorted with anger, rapidly withers as if the power was turned off.

Returning with an expressionless face, Gerbin affirmed in a gloomy tone.

“You are right. After all, this kind of thing doesn’t suit me.”

“Have you received orders?”

“I need to give the impression that I can sever your limbs at any time, so that you’ll stay quiet until the ceremony begins.”

Gerbin’s eyes were razor-sharp, scanning Lennok’s entire body.

“Looking at it now, it doesn’t seem necessary.”

“Loyalty is great.”

Lennok laughed.

Gerbin had a faint look in his eyes as he watched Lennok like that.

“You are not afraid.”

“Are you afraid?”

Lennok, who stared at Gerbin’s face through the bars, smiled.

“Because I didn’t know what that ritual was in the first place. I’m not the type to be afraid of the unknown.”

“No, everyone is afraid.”

Gevin shook his head with a single knife.

“The sinner who violates the great doctrine and tries to throw everything into chaos changes like that. The unknown is frightening, terrifying, grotesque, and trembling.”

“... ... .”

“But you don’t look like that.”

That’s not wrong.

To Lennok, who has the ability to designate a target, this binding device is virtually meaningless.

Even as long as he has Jindun’s control code, he is confident that he can lift all of these restraints with his own power at any time.

It’s just a little uncomfortable to move your body, but in fact, you’re recovering your magic in a state that’s no different from the moment you first visited this island.

If you’re afraid in a situation like this, it’s rather strange.

But even though Lennok knew what Gervin was saying, he didn’t bother to act afraid.

On the contrary, it was clear that the other side would be even more wary of Lennok and try to pressure him the moment he was exposed to such false feelings.

“If you’re hoping for help, you’d better give up.”

As if Gervin had read Lennok’s thoughts, he threatened.

“As much as we have sorted out the church’s internal problems, all remaining forces are working on external boundaries. I’m not going to be as brazen as I was when I crawled into the sewer.”

“Right... ... . Did you already know that?”

Seeing Lennok close his eyes with a calm expression, Gerbin tried to say something more.

I hurriedly lowered my head at the sound of the rustling of clothes coming from nearby.

Easel Naidri was standing with her feet on her feet, looking normal.

Although she was wearing the fancy dress of an archbishop, her skin before the ceremony was as white and pale as porcelain.

Easel, who had a bizarre appearance with veins showing through her bleached cheeks, nodded her head with an expressionless face.

“Geobin, there are knights who need your strength. Go.”

“Are you going to put me on display hanging among the authors?”

“Can it be?”

Eisel smiled softly.

“Of course, the most delicious delicacies should be served last.”

“... ... .”

“You will be the cornerstone of the great world at the moment when her help is most needed, just before the ceremony is over and everything falls back into place. You should be proud enough.”

“You say the word ‘feeding the beast’ at length.”

“After the ceremony begins, nothing can ever come back into the world.”

Despite Lennok’s ridicule, Izel did not lose his composure.

“So, if you have one last thing to say in this world, it would be better to spit it all out now.”

“... ... .”

Izel turned his head away from Lennok, who didn’t answer.

“From now on, we will begin the ceremony of selecting the apostles.”

Slowly making hand signs with both hands, he began to spit out incomprehensible words.

At the same time, a huge magic circle formed around the altar and formed a huge circle, and began to shine ceaselessly.

woo woo woo... ... !!

Lennok realized that the magic formation was a form of transformation by borrowing some extent from Jindun’s barrier formation.

Izel obtained Jindun’s legacy and was using part of the barrier art after refining it into the form he wanted.

Lennok waited for the right moment, calmly gazing at the brilliance of the magic squad while imprisoned in the prison.

‘Not yet.’

A little more decisive moment, and that is, Izel and the agents should aim for a single moment when they will never be able to avoid the rebound.

Koo Goo Goo!!!!

The magic circle that has been deployed around the altar rises from its place and rotates.

The bloody magic circle drew a three-dimensional trajectory and rotated around the altar, drawing a huge circular sphere.

The humans trapped inside began to scream desperately and stop breathing one by one.

“Buy and live... ... .”

“sorry. sorry... ... !!”

“Aww... ... !!”

The more hundreds of human lives are sacrificed, the faster the circle rotates, and the pressure intensifies as if the space itself is about to explode.

The spirit pressure that swelled up as if it would burst the sky above the altar became infinitely heavy as if it would press down on the soul.

Finally, I went beyond that limit and exploded something whole.

Wow!!!

A shock wave of dark red ripples sweeping through the field of vision inverts all visible colors.

Immediately after the deafening roar erupted, the surroundings fell silent like a lie.

It was not that the surroundings had become quiet, but a strange sensation as if the sound had been blocked.

The moment I noticed it, the scenery around the altar was already immersed in endless darkness.

“hmm... ... !”

“This... ... no way!”

The appearance of the altar turned black, completely different from the scenery of the pure white temple.

Realizing the meaning of the darkened landscape in an instant, the agents spit out different silent sounds with hard complexions.

Lennok also hardened his face, realizing that the feeling of déjà vu existed in his memory.

‘well... ... .’

The scenery of the open sea seen through the well of the handbook.

It was because the manifestation of the overwhelming presence I felt there was approaching as Izel started his consciousness.

The process of hearing the will of the end through Izel Naidri’s power as a priestess.

It is not simply downloading and conveying the will of foreign media swimming outside the open sea.

In this world where the cycle of cause and effect is closed, it is difficult to overhear anything that happens in the dark sea.

At the time when she had full power as a priestess, such an obstacle was nothing, but now that she has given up her position and became an archbishop, it is different.

That is why Izel has been preparing to receive the will of foreign media by building the scenery of the altar as similar to the environment of the open sea as much as possible.

In the sea of understanding, not only magic power rises above the sea in an updraft.

In conjunction with a specific consciousness, it rapidly floats up to one’s own consciousness, indirectly creating an environment close to the open sea.

For this very moment, Izel risked being discovered and set the island of the Cult’s Far East down into the sea of understanding.

oh oh oh... ... !!

A bizarre sensation, as if the consciousness of hundreds of people standing near the altar soared into the sky at almost the same time.

A sense of isolation, as if all the cognitive abilities around you are far away from your will.

The chill that freezes the whole body and the endless emptiness that eats away at the head.

Even breathing becomes thin and rarefied between the hallucinatory glides as if the mind and body are separated and run in all directions without knowing how to control.

An extreme environment that humans can never get used to.

However, the incarnation of the end, which feels more comfortable than anyone else in an environment similar to the open sea, also exists in the same space.

[Huh uh uh uh uh... ... .]

Amrita, a huge hairy 10 apostles who exhaled while prostrated on the top of the altar, wriggles and wakes up.

[Here... ... .]

Through the pure white fur, the blue eyes quietly open their eyes and look around quietly.

Even the deep dizziness is felt in the calmly submerged gaze of the figure buried in the endless appetite.

An environment close to the open sea. That’s why the crazy apostle who swims in the open sea as part of the dream of a foreign correspondent regained his sanity.

This is the moment when Amrita regains her intellect, manifests properly, and conducts the ritual.

If you need to intervene, now is the time.

‘Goes.’

The moment Lennok immediately took out a piece of paper with a control code written on it from his bosom and was about to stand up.

[...] ... Are you planning to do it?]

More than anything else, an unusual telegram was pierced into Lennok’s mind.

Her bizarrely clear and transparent eyes had been looking at Lennok from the moment they were opened.

[Are you going to end it with your own hands?]

As if you knew who he was.
