Stella (5)

I liked the story of good luck and good punishment.

A common structure in which good wins and evil defeats.

The obvious stories about good people living happily ever after.

I hope good people don’t suffer.

It was just a simple wind.

however.

That was too difficult.

In order to punish the wicked, blood was inevitably smeared on the hands.

Good people often couldn’t stand it.

Of course, in the real world, there were many cases where the villain won and gained the upper hand.

Of course, in reality, it was hard to find absolute evil or absolute goodness, and there were many cases where everyone had their own circumstances.

After being reincarnated in Murim and gaining the power to choose with my own hands.

I decided not to think too deeply.

Evil is just evil.

And I, too, would be close to the wicked, if I had to question it.

Only the blood of the people I’ve killed can make a river.

Considering the number of people he’s killed so far, it’s not lacking at all to be called the Devil of Heaven.

Even so, I had no intention of stopping.

* * *

‘It’s not too late.’

The ritual is not yet complete. Except for the one who was decapitated at the beginning of the ceremony, no one else lost their lives. I saw a few dangerous people.

But that was only a matter of time. I saw people who had already had all of their holy power extracted and even squeezed out their life force.

The pure white halo formed around the altar was getting stronger as if it would cover all of Stella.

Kugu Palace-

It vibrated in resonance with this city and the entire earth. The fine dust and stone fragments falling from the ceiling could not reach Stella and were shattered by the condensed holy power.

In the cathedral-like interior, hundreds of knights under the direct command of Cardinal Richelieu, wearing silver armor and gray hoods, were standing closely like stone statues, guarding the surroundings.

As was the case with Murim’s Dafa, if it was attacked hastily, everyone involved, starting with the person receiving the Dafa, could be in danger.

The ancient letters Carol had seen while passing through the underground waterway were clearly connected to the altar, and if so, she had no idea how extensive the sacred law formation would be.

Hiding behind the darkness, Carol contemplated the path through which energy slowly flowed.

‘I figured it out.’

No matter how huge the jinbeop was, it was a law that had a vein that became the core. It was the same with this ritual. It was possible to force a stop.

Again, it was better to stop voluntarily.

thud!

After thinking about it, Carol immediately revealed the new model. He had never expected anyone to break into this place, so his gaze at Carol was full of doubt.

My doubts soon turned into vigilance.

“Who are you!”

Soon after, a group of paladins and gray knights gathered together and glared at Carol.

Carol didn’t answer. They weren’t the ones who would listen anyway. The brilliant white light that covered the surroundings was gradually being eroded by the black aura from Carol’s body. Whether it’s holy power or magic. After all, the root is the same.

There was nothing bad about the enormous energy in this space for Carol. Of course, it was true that it was harder to handle than Magi, but it was not a significant difference.

Sensing the strong momentum emanating from Carol’s body, the paladins also memorized spells. The reason why the Holy Knights of the Holy Kingdom were famous on the continent was that they could attack with enormous power as if they were one body by sharing each other’s life and energy through the Holy Law.

After forming a square, in front of the paladins who slowly approached Carol.

A black flash flashed.

They shared at least tens of units of life force, but with just one hit, their bodies split in half and spewed out blood fountains.

The sight of the blood of the fallen Paladins slowly flowing into the center through the grooves on the floor was quite bizarre.

Human sacrifices were commonplace.

One innocent girl and countless people being sacrificed by desire.

It was a common story, nothing special.

Is it really like that?

That kind of thing shouldn’t be common. It wasn’t because there wasn’t anything special. It was natural. Human beings offering human beings as sacrifices, innocent human beings being sacrificed in this way.

It never became a story that was nothing special.

Watching dozens of people die at once, yet they come together again without wavering, praying, and memorizing self-sacrifice spells.

An uncontrollable murderous spirit arose inside Carol. Faith, strong faith, was sometimes disgusting.

It was a waste to even use Black Lightning against them. I completely retracted the Black Lightning and clenched my fists.

bang!

The jet-black energy contained in Carol’s fist shattered the pure white light created by the Holy Knights. With one light gesture, the neck was snapped, the armor shattered, and the head exploded.

The hundreds of articles quickly shrunk to a hundred or so.

It was then reduced by half again.

“Very… what the hell…”

“Nonsense….”

Only then did the Paladins’ eyes begin to contain fear. The expressions of the knights in gray hoods were hard to see on the outside, but their fingertips trembled. The opponent was a monster. Most of the techniques used by the Paladins were based on the premise that many of them would work together against one strong opponent, such as a demon.

That’s why, with the number of Paladins like this, even if you deal with a lot of demons, you won’t be pushed back. As if catching flies, Carol was killing the paladins.

He didn’t even raise a sword, but his limbs were cut off with every gesture, his head exploded, blood and brains scattered in all directions, and with a single movement of his palm, as if he had been crushed to death, corpses were crushed and crushed.

“Who are you… who are you?”

Cardinal Richelieu, who had been watching even while the paladins were being slaughtered, asked Carol slowly.

“I won’t say it twice. Stop the ceremony voluntarily.”

derision. no way

That sentiment was evident on Cardinal Richelieu’s face.

“The consciousness is already heading toward the second half. stop here? Am I crazy?”

“Yeah, that’s it.”

I didn’t think I would stop voluntarily anyway. With just one gesture from Carol, countless jet-black steel swords appeared as if they would cover the entire underground space. break the pulse It was not difficult.

Kwaaang—!

Enough to keep the underground space from collapsing. carefully.

As Carol had calculated in advance, she inserted all of the strong swords into the veins through which energy flowed. At the same time, the energy flowed backwards, and the priests who were in charge of the ceremony began to vomit blood and collapse.

“What… what?”

Cardinal Richelieu was visibly embarrassed. Of course I knew that Carol was strong. However, stopping consciousness was a completely different matter from being strong. In particular, it was close to impossible to block such a large-scale ritual with the energy of just one individual.

However, Carol’s mighty sword was still lodged in various places, forcibly stopping the ceremony. Just maintaining that would cost a lot of mana. There was not even the slightest movement in Carol’s expression.

Lonely expressionless.

An intense murderous intent hidden behind cold eyes.

Looking at the sudden intruder, Cardinal Richelieu realized the true nature of the uneasiness he had been feeling all this time.

is the author

The author was a demon in the form of a human, causing an ominous feeling. Look at those dark clouds that erode the holy light. If that is not the power of the devil, then what the hell is it?

“A devilish bastard…!”

“devil? In the religion you believe in, what do you call killing innocent people for your own greed? Aren’t such people called devils?”

“Shut up! All of this is God’s will, so it’s only natural for humans to obey God’s will!”

Cardinal Richelieu was originally a soldier. Even in the Holy Land, there were few people who could share the sum with him.

If he wanted to, it was possible enough to become the leader of the Order of the Holy Knights and the director of the Heretic Inquisition, which was said to be the highest level in terms of average strength.

But he looked further. Ever since I discovered Stella.

Only for today, Cardinal Richelieu has prepared step by step. With a part of the Paladins fully in his grasp. The Heretic Inquisition was also taken over step by step, at least to the point where they couldn’t interfere. Finally, even the knights of the Gray Order, which he taught himself.

The plan was perfect. If only there were no authors.

“Then if I kill you here, will you be punished? If everything is God’s will, that would be all right, right?”

Carol smirked and said,

To Cardinal Richelieu, each and every word of Carol’s words seemed to be whispered by the devil.

“Shut up! What do you guys know!”

Although he did it out of a desire to become pope, Cardinal Richelieu’s faith was real.

The faith and martial arts he had accumulated so far were embodied in the brilliant light of Cardinal Richelieu’s fists, and he began to grow young. No matter how strong the author is, he cannot defeat me with God’s will. Cardinal Richelieu thought so sincerely.

“Oohhh…!”

Resonating with the holy power filled in the air, Cardinal Richelieu felt a sense of omnipotence as if he were a god at this moment.

It seemed that such a demon could be killed with a single blow.

“It’s a spectacle.”

Along with Carol’s calm words, light flashed and blood fountains gushed from Cardinal Richelieu’s body.

“uh…?”

His vision was stained red, followed by terrible pain. Cardinal Richelieu, a master of close combat, could not even react and had all his limbs cut off.

“I won’t kill you now.”

The bleeding was stopped by pointing to the bloodstream, and by triggering a samadhi evolution, all of Cardinal Richelieu’s limbs were severed.

“Aagh!”

Cardinal Richelieu screamed at the pain of his flesh burning alive, but Carol had no intention of being considerate.

“You there, come here.”

“Yes, yes?”

The priest next to Cardinal Richelieu trembled and came closer.

“Recover just enough so you won’t die.”

“Ah… I see!”

There was no one to stop Carol any longer. Numerous eyes watched as Cardinal Richelieu, one of the strongest warriors in the Holy Land, was dismembered like an insect in front of his eyes.

Only terrible fear ruled this vast space.

Because all the priests conducting the ceremony had collapsed.

Suddenly, consciousness naturally stopped.

Tboob. Tboob.

Only the sound of Carol’s footsteps echoed in the wide cavity. Stella at the center of the altar was not able to get up even though the ceremony was interrupted. When I removed the cross from Stella’s chest, I saw something stuck in it.

‘pond?’

It was not an object with a physical entity. But clearly, it was a nail driven into Stella’s chest. made of enormous power. It restrained Stella’s whole body and absorbed the holy power that existed inside her body.

It wasn’t even a matter of forcibly pulling it out, but it was unclear what would happen if it did. After thinking for a while, Carol came up with an idea.

If the nail itself is a mass of holy power anyway, wouldn’t it be enough to just disassemble and absorb it forcibly? If that nail sucked Stella’s holy power, the opposite would also be possible.

He put his palm on the nailed part and began to forcibly disassemble it by channeling the energy of the Heavenly Demon Sacred Art. Certainly not a common object, I resisted tenaciously.

puck!

With the sound of something exploding, the nail shattered and began to transform into a huge mass of holy power. It wasn’t difficult after that. The holy power induced by the aura of the Heavenly Demon Sacred Spirit was absorbed while slowly circling Stella’s Sajibaekhae.

Brilliant light flowed from Stella’s body, resonating with the holy power in the air.

Because the ritual was forcibly stopped, the gathered holy power spread through the air with nowhere to go.

They started to gather around Stella again.

Seeing that mysterious phenomenon, Carol briefly thought about whether she should stop it, but decided not to. It was an energy that would slowly and meaninglessly dissipate if left alone anyway. If Stella could make even a part of that enormous energy her own.

You will gain power that cannot be compared to before. There was nothing bad about Stella herself either.

After a storm of light raged like that.

Stella rose slowly.

Because I strained my eyes enough to shed bloody tears, I still couldn’t open my eyelids properly.

I turned my body straight towards Carol and opened my mouth.

“…thank you.”

After the ceremony began, Stella’s mind was clearer than ever.

Of course, she knew that Carol had come to rescue her and what had happened.

And what you should do now.

With her eyes closed, Stella clasped her hands and prayed.

Four brilliant wings formed behind Stella’s back, and warm light spread in all directions.
