Chapter 237:

“Let’s succeed moderately and cling to the trend to survive.”

That had been Isaac’s goal up until now.

Even recently, that goal had not changed. Ultimately, he aimed to make the Dawn Army successful and solidify the dominance of the Codex of Light. His intention was to achieve undeniable merits so that he could live honorably.Alll latest novels at novelhall.com

Isaac had steadily achieved this goal so far. Thanks to this, he had risen to a position unimaginable for an orphan from a monastery. He even beheaded a corrupt priest without facing any repercussions.

So far, so good. Until now.

But Isaac thought he needed to take one more step forward.

“What is that? Where did you get it?”

By this time, Camille’s tone had become stiff.

What Isaac had taken out was the “Book of the Nameless Worm.”

It was a nameless scripture that Kalsen had prepared to become a god, and Isaac had created it as a sacred object to block the backflow of Urbansus.

Isaac flipped through the book, which recorded his actions in real-time, with his fingers.

“The Nameless Chaos is a powerful god. Its minions are powerful, and each sacred object is also powerful and strange. It is not easy to restrain oneself from using that power freely.”

What if Isaac had purely enjoyed the game and actively embraced the abilities of the Nameless Chaos, using them solely for his own purposes?

What if he had wielded and devoured everything like a weapon without considering the aftermath or the bigger picture for the future?

Moreover, Isaac possessed knowledge about the Nine Faiths and their future.

Isaac believed he could become the catastrophe that would bring about the end of this world.

The reason he didn’t do so was simply that he considered this world as the one he would live in.

Even while living under the watchful eyes of the Codex of Light, he enjoyed its solid foundation and warm sunshine.

He could be satisfied with that.

“But despite my efforts... you all wield the dangerous knowledge of chaos as if it were a mere tool.”

“You bastard, could it be...!”

Feeling the ominous aura growing stronger from the Book of the Nameless Worm, Camille was shocked and attempted to perform a miracle. The cardinal was granted the most powerful miracle, second only to the pope of the Codex of Light. With the proper rituals and procedures, she could even summon an angel.

Even an immediately manifested miracle could turn a single paladin to ashes in an instant.

At that moment, Isaac’s eyes turned a deep shade of purple.

Simultaneously, a purple halo ominously emanated from above his head.

It was an ominous light that seemed to devour both light and darkness. Purple beams of light, like thorny tentacles, spread out, occupying and disintegrating all surrounding space.

“Gah!”

Camille’s throat was constricted.

Isaac stood still, merely flipping through the book, yet Camille could not utter a single word, request help, or even gesture for a miracle. It was then that she realized what Isaac was doing.

Her eyes filled with shock.

Lighthouse of the Watcher

A miracle that fixed the surrounding reality into a paradise the caster desired.

Originally, only the clergy of the Codex of Light were supposed to possess such a miracle, yet it was spreading from the body of a heretic.

Isaac, with a purple halo like a crown, looked at Camille with ominous eyes. The surroundings were transforming into a terrible paradise—or rather, hell—of a heretic according to Isaac’s will.

“So far, I have used this miracle to shine a light on another paradise outside the Codex of Light only once, Cardinal. It was merely an experiment to see if it was possible. Since then, I thought I would never use it again.”

Camille realized that her body was grotesquely transforming. She tried to scream, but the purple light turned her mouth, tongue, teeth, and jaw into a single, amorphous mass.

The creature itself was an abominable blasphemy.

“Damn it...”

Erheim cursed as he prepared to join the fight, frustrated by the monster’s seemingly mocking movements. At that moment, he saw someone wielding a sword of light, charging through the dimly lit forest. The figure swiftly passed the paladins and, with a shining sword strike, severed the monster’s wrist.

[Oooooooooh!]

The monster roared in agony, twisting its body. Seeing the previously invulnerable creature’s wrist being severed, Erheim couldn’t help but shout in exhilaration.

“The Holy Grail Knight!”

***

‘It’s taken on a more grotesque form than I expected.’

Isaac had distanced himself from the area immediately after the monster appeared, knowing that being found nearby would raise suspicion. Fortunately, only Camille, who had now turned into the monster, knew that Isaac had gone to the courtyard.

The cathedral was now nearly a third destroyed by the monster that Camille had become.

Camille had requested Isaac to prevent incidents in the old quarter. While resolving that task, Isaac had successfully preempted a monster that might have appeared in the old quarter.

However, by turning Camille into a monster, it ended up with a monster in the old quarter after all.

‘Honestly, she dug her own grave.’

“Holy Grail Knight! The creature uses invisible powers! Be careful!”

The injured paladins, who had fallen from the attacks, called out while protecting themselves with miracles. Isaac nodded. Although others couldn’t see it, Isaac’s chaotic eyes could.

It was likely because the miracles were created by the Doctrine of Chaos.

Camille, now a monster, had more than just thirteen hands. Four long, invisible hands were waving in the air, praising the heavens. These hands moved to strike only when the other hands made prayer gestures.

As the monster Camille swung her hands fiercely, seemingly enraged by Isaac, she made a strange praying motion, aiming at Isaac. Being able to see the invisible hands, Isaac easily dodged. The movements were too large to be difficult to avoid, the problem was merely their invisibility.

“No way...”

“Who is that man?”

To the surrounding paladins, Isaac appeared to be evading invisible attacks with a miraculous ability.

Isaac continued his assault. Although miracles did not work, slashing attacks with his sword did.

The creature was too large, and it was unclear where its head was, making it difficult to kill it instantly. However, Isaac slashed and wounded its body as if chopping down a tree.

The monster Camille tried to crush Isaac with its grotesque hands, but she was far too slow for Isaac, who had evaded even Elil’s swordsmanship.

The ground around them was soaked with the monster Camille’s red blood. Priests arriving at the scene were horrified and began performing sealing and exorcism rites.

As the sacred hymns and prayers began to flow, the monster Camille’s movements visibly slowed and weakened. Just as Isaac made a deep slash to its waist, causing it to stagger and fall.

Isaac seized the moment and shouted.

“Now!”

The paladins understood immediately and charged en masse. Dozens of weapons, wrapped in miracles, simultaneously tore into the monster Camille’s body.

‘What a pitiful end for a cardinal.’

Isaac felt a strange sense of satisfaction at the ironic and tragic end of Camille, who had once been revered by the Church.
