Dungeon Monsters Keep Offering Sacrifices

30 – Hunter becomes stronger through sacrifice

Who is the being who protects and supports the White Church?

If you ask who he is, everyone will answer that he is a paladin.

The Holy Knights protect the church in the name of the goddess and judge those who disturb the continent.

In this process, they took risks and risked their lives to perform their mission.

Therefore, the Holy Knights could be seen as beings who protect and support the church.

Gerard, the leader of the Holy Knights, leads the Holy Knights.

He was currently receiving reports in the office.

“You lost contact with Werther?”

Liana, who was reporting on the leader’s words, nodded her head.

She was a Holy Knight and at the same time was in charge of the duties of an adjutant assisting the leader.

“Ha.”

When I heard that Werther Leovine, the vice leader of the Holy Knights, had disappeared, leader Gerard’s expression looked bright.

“I finally disposed of the trash.”

Werther Leowein was not a member of the church from the beginning.

He was a member of the Duke family of the Caln Empire, and the church was only an option for him.

This kind of external person takes on the position of vice-leader of the Holy Knights that supports the church?

It didn’t make sense from the beginning.

However, no matter how much it is called an order, it was necessary to gain the favor of the imperial duke’s family, so the position of vice-leader of the Holy Knights was awarded as a gift.

Of course, Werther is reasonably capable.

But Gerard didn’t like seeing that.

What is a Paladin?

Many people were still undergoing penance to train their bodies and purify their minds for the sake of the cult and the goddess.

However, the vice-captain only knew how to train a little and did not show any intention to truly serve the goddess.

I didn’t even behave properly.

Gerrard didn’t like everything about Werther.

That’s why I was so happy about the current situation.

“What is the damage situation?”

“Excluding Vice-Captain Werther, a total of 19 Paladins have also lost contact.”

At Liana’s words, Gerard flicked his fingers on the desk.

Crackling

“Well, I guess that’s not that bad.”

In the first place, Gerard’s purpose was to change the ranks of the Holy Knights, including the vice-captain.

No matter how clean the water is, if it stagnates, it rots.

In the view of leader Gerard, the current Paladins were in a gradually stagnating situation.

While there were those who lost the will to move forward, there were also those who entered through fraudulent means despite not having the skills to do so.

The emergence of rotten parts in a place that should have the most integrity could have fatal consequences.

That’s why I thought of taking advantage of the vampire subjugation operation being carried out by this church.

It was a good idea to cut off the tail since the vice-captain was not a member of the church from the beginning.

It was an opportunity to properly weed out those who had poor grades or had completed their growth among the paladins.

Of course, he may not have found the gem, but he thought he had given them enough time.

And this was successful.

Werther, who was a thorn in his side, disappeared, and although his abilities were not very good, he was able to reduce those who only wanted the power of the church.

“Still, Captain. The scale of this event has become quite large. A hearing will be held at the church, and if they find out that there has been any tampering with the equipment during this process-“

Gerard interrupted Liana by raising her hand.

It was known that the church had dispatched only the most elite paladins to this operation.

Of course, it was true. Half of it.

Half of the sent paladins were truly elite.

However, as I said before, those assigned to Vice-Captain Werther were people who had exhausted their usefulness.

Of course, Werther, who was not interested in the church, would have been interested in the Holy Knights.

Although he held the title of vice-captain, he had no way of finding out who was assigned to him.

I didn’t even bother to know.

And just as Liana said a little while ago, Gerard tried to find a way to be more sure.

It was the equipment.

All equipment provided to the Holy Knights was of the highest quality.

However, equipment is also the result of human touch.

Among them, some equipment was produced that was not of the highest quality but had some defects.

Gerard used his own hands to save these defective equipment.

And it was a simple matter to hand over to Werther and the paladins assigned to him.

They were all such trash that they didn’t notice what was wrong with the equipment they were assigned.

‘After all, they were trash.’

For Gerard, he felt relieved that the rotten part had been cut out.

“That’s no problem, let’s listen to the next report.”

Even if a hearing is held anyway, the responsibility will end appropriately at the Werter line.

In the end, the person in charge at the scene was the vice-captain.

And he gained a lot from this work.

First, the superiors will be shocked by the disappearance of the Paladins.

The horse’s whereabouts were unknown, but it could be assumed that he had actually been killed during an operation.

Accordingly, the superiors will further strengthen their guard and give more power to the Holy Knights.

It meant that his authority as leader of the Holy Knights would increase.

‘My world will come soon.’

The corners of Gerard’s mouth rose.

* · * *

Werter Leovine, there was a magic sword in his hand.

It was the magic sword he so desperately wanted.

I worked hard for several days to get it, but in the end, it was in my hands.

Even though the paladins he led were wiped out, what does that matter?

Now, just by pulling out the magic sword, you will gain tremendous power.

If you gain strength, no being will be able to block your path.

Werther slowly pulled out the magic sword with his eyes filled with desire.

Tingling

Pain was felt in his hand holding the magic sword.

It was painful, but Werther continued to pull out the magic sword.

Finally, when the magic sword was completely pulled out.

“Pfft…” .”

The pain he felt in his hand soon spread through his arm and throughout his body.

A moan came out naturally.

From noble mtl dot com

‘I never thought I would get it so easily…’ !’

Once this process is over, you will gain strength of a different level.

The pain grew bigger and bigger.

And soon.

“Kaaa!”

My whole body felt like it was going to burn.

The pain was so intense that I wanted to pass out right away.

I have surpassed the threshold of accepting pain.

Something is wrong.

In an instant, a feeling of regret unfolded in his mind.

People in the world didn’t call it the Demon Sword for nothing.

“Please…” .”

Kill me.

I was in so much pain that I couldn’t even speak properly.

All Werther could do was shed tears.

“Oh my, how are you feeling now?”

Someone spoke to Werter.

Even in a situation where he felt pain, Werther struggled to twist his body and looked next to him.

There was a silver-haired woman standing there.

The woman had an incredibly attractive appearance.

‘Oh, monster… ….’

The large horns on her head showed that she was not human.

“Humans are so simple. “She pulls out the magic sword without any hesitation just because she’s slightly enchanted.”

The monster in front of me spoke.

But Werther could not pay attention to what she said.

Because the intensity of the pain he felt continued to increase.

“…… !”

An intense pain arose once again.

“Kaaak!”

Maybe my heart would stop first due to shock.

Yes, that might be better.

I wanted to quickly be freed from this continuing pain.

That’s why I pleaded.

No words came out, but he asked with his mouth to please kill him.

Should I say it is fortunate?

The woman in front of me reacted to Werther’s words.

“Now then, think about the people who made you like this.”

Even in terrible pain, Werther listened to her.

She was the only one who could save me, no, she was a monster, she thought desperately.

These people who made themselves like this?

It was obvious.

The family that kicked him out.

If only he had been allowed to legitimately compete for the position of successor, he would not have been resentful.

If I hadn’t been kicked out, I wouldn’t have had any contact with the church, and I wouldn’t have ended up like this.

“I guess you’ve thought of everything?”

Werther nodded frantically.

She begged him to stop killing her now that she had thought of everything.

“Okay. From now on, I will save you.”

Werther closed his eyes.

If only I could be free from this pain, it would be good.

Celia looked at Werther, who closed her eyes.

Foolish human being.

That was Celia’s assessment of him.

Then he immediately summoned another being.

“Mr. Death Knight, please do me a favor.”

Death Knight slowly drew his sword at Celia’s command.

Then he swung towards Werther’s neck.

Werther Leobein’s head fell to the ground amidst the blood flying and the sound of the terrible wind.

At the same time, Celia quickly put her magic sword that Werter was holding into her scabbard.

This was possible because he had already exhausted most of the power of the magic sword by sacrificing his whole body.

“This is yours.”

Celia took her magic sword and headed to her altar.

At the same time, the two paladins guarding the entrance to the dungeon entered and followed Celia towards the altar.

Thing-

The alarm on the smartphone rang.

I checked the contents as soon as the alarm sounded.

– Acquired the unique monster, Werther Leovine (★★★★).

“Oh.”

What a monster I suddenly acquired.

Even the level of the monster was 4 stars.

Would you like to check what kind of guy he is?

I touched the smartphone and moved to the screen where the monster was.

There was a monster there that looked unusual at first glance.

Because it had no head, it was immediately noticeable.

A situation where there is only up to the neck and no head above.

The whereabouts of the head could be found in an unexpected place.

He was holding his head up with none other than his own hand, and his expression showed that he was in great pain.

“This is a Dullahan, right?”

Durahan is commonly known as a headless monster.

So, the monster I got now seemed no different from the Dullahan.

“Well, it’s still not bad if it’s 4 stars.”

Because I didn’t use up gems to draw.

Smartphone alarms did not end there.

– Celia offers the ‘demon sword’ as a sacrifice to her master.

“Demon sword?”

There was an offering that seemed dangerous even from its name.

But there was a separate problem.

– Caution! There is a risk that this offering could seriously distort the causality ratio. Accordingly, we are issuing emergency measures.

– Limits the abilities of the sacrifice ‘Demon Sword’. In the future, restrictions will be lifted gradually depending on the user’s status.

The word causality also appeared.

They also said that the magic sword’s abilities were limited, so I was curious as to how powerful it was.

– You are receiving the ‘Devil Sword’ as an offering. (Remaining time: 14 days and 6 hours)

“What? “It takes two weeks?”

It took a tremendous amount of time, 14 days, to receive the sacrificial sword.

“Ha….”

It was a pity for me, who wanted to get confirmation quickly.

“Are there any other offerings? 2 Weeks is too long….”

While I was thinking for a moment, fortunately the alarm continued to sound.

– Celia offers a Holy Knight of the White Order as a sacrifice to her master.

– Absorbing the abilities of the Immolation Paladin. (Remaining time: 6 hours)

– Celia offers a Holy Knight of the White Order as a sacrifice to her master.

– Absorbing the abilities of the Immolation Paladin. (Remaining time: 6 hours)

Two Holy Knights were sacrificed in succession.

And 6 hours to absorb their abilities.

After checking the alarm, I faced the same situation as last time.

“… ….”

I suddenly felt drowsy.

“I felt sleepy every time something like this happened….”

I felt like I needed to go over this part.

I surrendered my body to drowsiness, thinking that I would tell Celia next time.
