Abandoned Priest at the Hero’s Party

By Draft

Richie, Albatross still get a headache just thinking about that day.

Had he been alive, a cold sweat would have run down his back. The beacon of the sanctuary. A single beacon annihilated an army of corpses that were ten kilometers away.

It is not called annihilation due to the collapse of combat capabilities.

It was just annihilation. Truly, he returned to the corpse, leaving nothing behind.

“At that time, Master wanted to raise the reputation of the underground castle by hunting the warrior party, and he wanted to play through it. So the strategy he mobilized is the siege and annihilation camp.”

Albatross took out a board much larger than a normal chess board and placed three chess pieces in the center. this is a warrior party

Each one of them is a talented person in the military field, and in chess terms, they are queens. You can go anywhere, you can do anything. Although the number is three, it cannot be ignored.

After thoroughly besieging these three with a large army, they tried to hunt by driving them to higher-ranking undead such as Durahan, Lich, and Death Knight, which can be called the main force. The Elder Rich Balzac’s plan was to overwhelm the Champion Party by numbers. It was calculated that if the underground castle exploded at once with the power it had accumulated for hundreds of years, it would be enough to annihilate the Hero Party with that power.

“But you failed.”

“Of course I failed.”

Albatross, seeing his disciple, Callius, smiled bitterly.

“But it wasn’t anyone’s fault.”

So the Flesh Underworld did not ignore the Hero Party. He worked hard to annihilate them. A whopping 400,000 corpses formed a siege and began to press them from afar, and high-ranking undead such as Death Knight and Lich were planning to hold them in the center so that the Hero Party could not break through the siege.

Although a corpse does not have infinite endurance, it is far superior to a living body.

If all goes according to plan, the Hero Party should have dried up there. And that body was remodeled by the underground castle, and it would have become an elite undead that would make the underground castle even stronger.

“Who would have known that there would be an existence capable of sweeping away all chess pieces?”

No matter how many knights, pawns and bishops, no queens are everywhere on the chessboard.

A chess piece is a piece of chess where a person pushes once with his or her hand and is pushed away. That’s exactly what happened that day.

Kyle only fired the beacon of the sanctuary against the Elderrich Balzac, unaware of the ripple effect it had. But the albatross saw and heard all of it.

A beacon is to send a signal to others. Of course it looks very far.

The Lich and Death Knights who were waiting to hold the Brave Party from afar were annihilated. Other types of undead also attained Buddhahood at about the same time.

The 400,000 corpse corps could not even wield a nail, but became a 400,000 fertilizer corps and enriched the land. Necromancers who have experienced this horrific and terrifying event were unable to think.

I just ran away by playing with my feet. Once the light flashed, the reassuring corpses turned into corpses, what more can we do here? I was in a panic and had nothing to buy.

“So, this time, I will be able to bathe. Because he is no longer with the hero.”

Albatross didn’t even say that he would insult Kyle directly in the end.

The memory of that day remains in my heart as a trauma that cannot be erased even after I became rich. His heart stops beating, but the fear that pulsates within him is still alive.

“Hydra poison. It has no effect on us who are already dead.”

Leaning the jade bottle delivered through the messenger, the albatross slowly stood up.

“But the hero will not survive.”

A combination of Hydra’s poison and undead.

Because that would be really terrible for a living thing.

*****

Everyone has their own journey. And grow through travel. That’s why I’ve always been grateful to Urinelle.

Because she was the one who showed me this wide world, living in a pumpkin vine village.

The adventure I did with the hero party broke the wall of the well and showed me the river and lake, as a frog in a well. I’ve been through a lot, and my knowledge has increased that much.

“ah…”

I thought I was used to the terrible sights now, but involuntarily I lamented.

I thought I would kick the skull with my foot if I made a mistake, so I had to walk carefully. Not yet grown, not even a child, the head of a baby, with only bones left, rolled around Mt. Meso.

“I didn’t bury it, I didn’t put on makeup, I just threw it away in the mountains?”

Even the princess, who must have gotten used to blood while on the battlefield, was astonished. In fact, anyone would. Mr. Layton couldn’t make eye contact with us and struggled to avert his gaze.

“Because it was a tradition to leave it like this, even as food for wild animals.”

“Anyway, this is… no, how long have you been doing this?”

“It must have been around 300 years.”

“It’s strange that the Shinigami hasn’t appeared before.”

I put my hands on my head and looked around.

It didn’t take long to see that this was the origin of the Shinigami. It’s not going to be postponed until tomorrow. I firmly told Mr. Layton to call the temple immediately and show him the place.

The born reaper has now passed through his son, but that is only the beginning.

A being born of resentment. That can’t be normal.

Although the beginning may seem like just revenge, the end is catastrophic. In fact, there is nothing to see until the end, and it will only spread resentment to the world, and eventually it will be subjugated.

But until then, how many misfortunes will occur,

It’s something I don’t even want to think about.

“I tried to pray for the children who were sadly sacrificed, but they did not reach me. Viscount. Do you know what the Viscount and your colleagues did? Now, the unhappy children are no longer anywhere. Only the reaper remains.”

I can remove the divine power of the Shinigami that fills this earth, but it would be better to leave it to the three gods priests. Because they, too, should know that the Shinigami was born.

The reason they receive donations from the entire continent is in preparation for such a situation. Paladins and Heretic Inquisitors also work against demons, but their fundamental reason for their existence is the reaper.

“In the end, it was me who harmed my son.”

Mr. Layton shook his head, but it was already too late.

God took his son, and with it he ended his revenge. Maybe that’s the revenge that Mr. Layton fears more than death.

“It seems that the Shinigami has already gone a long way from here. We don’t know exactly where it went, but it would be terrifying if it reappeared.”

God should not be understood by human common sense. No one knows when, how, or in what manner the Shinigami will appear.

Perhaps after we all die of old age, we will emerge in the age of our children or grandchildren. Maybe hundreds of years later.

Or, it wouldn’t be strange if it appeared somewhere tomorrow right away.

Nothing can be predicted, I just hope the Tritheism is well prepared. If they know that the Shinigami was born as soon as possible, it will be easier to prepare for that.

“It’s me. On the temple side… let them know that a reaper has appeared. offering? It doesn’t matter. This is a really serious problem, and you probably wouldn’t want to get it anyway. It’s enough to pay the offering after work.”

Viscount Layton’s expression, who was communicating using magic tools, suddenly hardened.

“what? really? Is it true? Are you sure it’s authentic? No, no. i trust you cancer. But this is… I have to say it right. Because this is a really important issue.”

“…I see. Okay. okay. Contact me next time. Oh My God…!”

His hand holding the magic tool trembled. After cutting off the communication, he slowly turned his head with a blank expression and looked at us.

Then he swallowed one gulp and opened his mouth slowly. The princess looked at him with a grim expression and said,

“What else are you going to talk about? Don’t be shy and speak quickly.”

“Degraded Princess Ardane. I think you should return to the system as soon as possible.”

“What do you mean?”

When the princess was puzzled, Ms. Layton took a deep breath. Only then did he find the courage to tell the truth.

“Your Majesty… Your Majesty is in a very dire situation right now. Most of those who have already obtained information say that they are just waiting for the date of the crucian carp.”

As if lightning struck the dry sky, I was quite surprised.

So, what about the princess who is the real child? He almost trembled and trembled.

It was noticeable that his legs were shaking. I couldn’t see his expression, but I was able to guess.

“Can it be, can it be? I knew the father was not at ease, but did he mean that he was injured to that extent within a few months at most?”

“I cannot tell you why, but I think you should die quickly. Preferably right now. And, Priest…”

Mr. Layton grabbed my hand and thanked me.

“Really… thank you very much. If I had had a little more time, I would have treated them properly, but I didn’t know how to say goodbye so quickly, so I didn’t prepare anything. As you said, the temple has already put a message. The rest will be resolved by consulting with the Church of the Three Gods.”

“Saint…Son!”

Only then did the princess urgently look for me and grab my hand.

Seeing me with earnest eyes, he quickly poured out his words. It was a rare expression of perplexity. There was no sign of composure on his face, and it was natural.

But don’t be embarrassed by me too.

“Help the rich… help the rich. He is the one who has always loved his daughter, who has never done anything before. Somehow… somehow you can help the wealthy… if you help…”

Originally, I would have answered that I don’t know. I would have said that if I didn’t try, I wouldn’t know if it would help.

If His Majesty the Emperor is dying, it is probably not because of a disease or a curse, but because of the end of his life. If you were the emperor of a country, you would be able to receive treatment from the saints of the Three Gods.

The only big thing that even such a person can’t handle is that the heavenly beings are done.

The Lord didn’t even allow me to do that. He could, but he doesn’t. If that were the case, the elders of the Pumpkin Vine Village would have already rejuvenated and became young.

So, even if I go, there is a high chance that it will not be of any help.

He must have thought so before experiencing the events in Vlad Territory.

Everyone has their own journey. And grow through travel.

If I hadn’t come here, if I hadn’t seen the problems that vampires faced, and if I hadn’t solved the problems with my own hands, I wouldn’t have doubted them forever.

Maybe, maybe, my Lord is more special than others.

I wouldn’t have thought of it, and I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to do it.

Even what the three gods cannot do, I may be able to ask my Lord for an answer.

The one I serve behind me is the one who takes care of me, because it is a very mysterious person.

“If only we could get there before His Majesty’s death.”

So I could answer like this.

“Obviously, it could help.”

“Saint…”

“Go to the system. together.”

He grabbed the hand of the crying princess and pulled her closer. Now is not the time to do that.

You must go to the system as soon as possible. When it’s too late to arrive after His Majesty’s death, then no matter how much talent I have, it will be of no use.
