Chapter 306

Episode 306: Evidence (11)

“But what should we do now?”

Anyway, after I finished looking for a way to take care of my safety from the temple, Meister suddenly brought up such a story. Ugh. The dusty wind blowing over the desolate land seemed to add to the sense of desperation in his words.

“Wait until they come?”

“...I don’t think that’s a good choice.”

The reason I just watched the Inquisitor go was because I was wondering if his thoughts might change in the process of recovering from the power of the devil. Regardless of whether I feel sorry for her, my life is my life.

Even if I had known that she wouldn’t change her choice, it would have been similar. Anyway, I was thinking hard about saving it just a moment ago, but wouldn’t it be more disturbing to see it borrowing the devil’s power?

It wasn’t because I didn’t trust the Inquisitor, but because I didn’t want to cause him more trouble, I had no choice but to let him go. Well, even if I wanted to show her the resurrection scene, I probably would have failed because the devil whined that he didn’t like gambling.

“Let’s go from here first. There is no need to waste manpower unnecessarily.”

After all, if your life is at stake like before, it is not a good idea to wait for treatment personnel to arrive when you are in a better condition. This was all the more so because the last time I saw Munmund, he was not in very good condition. If the manpower to be brought in to treat me is precious there, I can’t let them go in vain.

[Are you really going to go—]

“Squeeze your mouth—!”

I ignored the commotion in my head that I was slowly becoming accustomed to.

“That’s right. “Because I don’t have a choice.”

Meanwhile, why doesn’t the Meister have a choice... Ah, helplessness.

I gave Meister a strange look. Is it because he has a shy personality, or is it because I’ve seen him hit people in the back with vicious fists and jaws a few times? Strangely, he doesn’t feel like a weakling. It felt like that.

“...I will do my best to escort you.”

“Isn’t it obvious? “The moment I die, you will be wanted.”

“okay.”

I skimmed over the Meister’s face. In order to fail to protect the Meister with this force, there would be no choice but for those who were like the Great Devils to take the stand.

Of course, if you plant a flag like this, it may reappear... but really?

“...Are the castle walls in very bad condition?”

“I guess so. “There were a lot of dead people.”

“...is it.”

While I was regretting whether I had thought of something like a flag for no reason, I became solemn once again at Meister’s words. I wonder if Richa and So Seong-ju will be okay. I felt even more anxious because there were people there that I knew or that Pasha knew.

“Perhaps... no.”

“Don’t say things that make people angry.”

“...I just thought it would be better to go and see for myself.”

Above all, it is unlikely that Meister would know about Mr. Richa’s well-being. I kept my mouth shut.

‘Hey, don’t you have something like a mobility device?’

Instead, I tried to scold the devil in my heart. The reason I cooperated with the devil—even though it was forced—was because I thought I could get something to help me escape.

[...Will there be one?]

‘Not none.’

But I guess there is no such thing. I thought for a moment, getting the answer I wanted regardless of whether the devil was angry or not. Do I really have to walk back to the city?

“that’s right. Hey, what is this made of?”

But then Meister’s curious question reached my ears. Following his arm and hand fingers, my gaze finally landed on a white lump quietly clumping on the floor.

However, in the process of embracing your own, do not be sure of your own beliefs and definitions. Since you are not omniscient like me, you will always have to test yourself...

“Is that really true...?”

No matter how many times I read it over and over again, his words were not wrong. The commandments that tell us to love those around us, beware of sin, and always reflect on ourselves cannot be wrong.

The most basic line was so basic that it could not be drawn.

“Those who are absorbed in justice and abandon reason will become the greatest sinners. “This is what the first warrior, an unknown saint, and the first Pope said when discussing the commandments while embracing a sinner whom everyone was pointing fingers at.”

Even though a commandment cannot be wrong, something wrong may come out of it.

“But why did he shout like that at that moment? Isn’t this because you thought that throwing stones just because everyone says so without judging for yourself is not justice but mere violence? “Wasn’t he saying that since there is no way to stop justice, we must be more disciplined and cautious?”

They are all who interpret the scriptures based on their own thoughts and use their own ‘justice’ based on that.

“A due rebuke to those who follow evil. Mercy with added patience to those who repent. A chance for an explanation for those who have been wronged. A warning against sin to those who live their daily lives. “Endless reflection on those who cry out for justice.”

Also, because they are not omnipotent like God. Everything they put forward could be wrong. That much is certain.

But is it possible to judge which of their misrepresentations is more right and which is more wrong? Is there anyone who can determine which interpretation is right and which is wrong?

“Otherwise it will be we who become sinners.”

“...These are the words of Dismas, the second saint, a sinner and repentant thief embraced by the first warrior.”

“If the nameless saint at that time had not personally acted in accordance with the true meaning of the ninth commandment, if Dismas had not repented because of him, if he had not dedicated his life to building a temple on the mountain to prove his atonement. Would we have been able to see the great sanctuary called Daesinjeon?”

does not exist. Because there is no such thing, everyone judges and acts as they please.

“Of course, the leader of Bemurchen said so. The depth of sin is different between Dismas, who was just a pickpocket, and the person who ran away despite harboring a devil. Is that really true? “Is there really that much of a difference between Dismas, who everyone stopped pointing fingers at the moment the hero protected him, and the Demon Knight, who was subject to endless surveillance and contempt even though he was allowed to do so?”

In that case, there would be no law preventing her from doing the same. This incident has made her realize that she cannot be a hero, so even if she distorts things as she wants and follows her own ‘rightness’ like a human being, no one will be able to say anything.

“if so. If it’s something like that. I will return the title of warrior. “I can’t keep calling myself a warrior because I didn’t embrace the devil because I wanted to and I couldn’t save even a single person who was criticized despite endlessly doing good deeds.”

In any case, if even her decision is based on charity, mercy, and loving-kindness, it will ultimately be an act of following God’s word.

“It was a title too much for me anyway.”

So the Inquisitor felt relieved and cut off a part of himself. It was only when the demon knight was about to die that he realized that he was the one who could not give up on him, so he abandoned the other side.

Ah, what value does she have when she is no longer a warrior? A brief pain pricked her, but even that soon got better.

Even if she doesn’t become a hero, she can still follow God, and above all, I don’t think the demon knight will say anything to her.

“Representative...!”

“Saenim, you...”

Anyway, he only joined the group to catch Satan and never once treated her like a warrior. There was more focus on her being able to kill demons and less emphasis on the fact that she was a warrior.

Therefore, the Inquisitor smiled faintly in the misery of being useless and in the relief of being liberated from the heaviest burden.

“Although it is me, I would like to ask you a request that is beyond topic. Lord Xiaoseong, I am no longer a warrior, but could you please save my benefactor?”

Ah, a devil knight. It may be a selfish idea, but even if I’m no longer a hero, you’ll still call me ‘idiot’, right? I hope so. It may not have been your intention, but I was always glad that you consistently treated me like a rookie priest.

“...yes. “I will dispatch it.”

The young man who cut out the biggest word that defined his life cried and laughed over Soseongju’s small answer. I hope this persuasion is not too late.

“Uh huh!”

“...?”

She turned her head to follow the surprised people, praying for that to happen. The flow of magical energy that I had missed while crying was the first thing that stuck in my head.

“Demon knight...?”

The person who I thought was going to be out of breath somehow got closer and closer.
