How a Former Pastor Lives in Another World - Chapter 41

Doppelganger (2)
“Forward! Keep moving forward!”
The dungeon’s defense system was strengthened step by step.
It wasn’t just the monster’s mindless charge, but different monsters and traps awaited each stage.
“Golem! Paladins lead the way!”
“I’m going!”
A golem the size of a house swung its huge fist. It was Ophelia’s heater shield that blocked the massive fist that even a person receiving protection could explode at once.
Goong!
Ofelia was pushed away with a dizzying sound, but that was all.
Ophelia, who had strengthened her physical abilities with Aura, blocked a blow from the front from a golem that was ten times bigger than her.
“Great job, sister!”
Immediately after Ophelia blocked the golem’s blow, the paladins holding two-handed hammers jumped towards the golem.
“Lord Soltera is my light and salvation. There is no fear!”
The shining armor of the Holy Knights. The hammers they swung crushed the golem’s legs and knocked it off balance.
Kugoogung!
An armed priest jumping towards a golem that falls backwards. Having received the added protection and power from the healers, he slashed his sword towards the collapsed core of the golem.
Kwasik!
Even with several javelins and arrows, the intact core was pierced and split.
“It’s an iron golem. It even has some pretty old-fashioned artifacts.”
“It’s a dungeon created over a thousand years ago.”
strong.
Headed by paladins with strong attack and defense power, healers and choir members who provide protection and buffs. Heresy Questioners who are competent in many fields create variables.
It was only ten minutes before the iron golem, made entirely of iron, was attacked by humans much smaller than me.
There was a lot for newcomers to learn about their coordination and combat methods.
‘In terms of combat experience, there is no comparison other than Ophelia.’
It’s something that can’t be helped.
Aaron, Henry, and Jenny are talented young people, but they are only teenagers.
“It reminds me of the old days.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Uh, it’s just that.”
Pastor Kim in his previous life also fought against monsters that went beyond human common sense.
Of course, I wasn’t alone.
What is the reason to kill imaemangryang, evil spirits, evil spirits, evil spirits, demons, and mythical monsters alone?
Unless it was unavoidable, everyone gathered together and beat them with modern weapons and beat them with swords.
The power of an organization is so great that it allows us to accomplish many things that cannot be done alone.
‘Nevertheless, there comes a time when you have to fight alone.’
Just as they are capable and wise, those who belong to the other side of the world are not stupid.
In particular, the Satan followers who were Pastor Kim’s main opponents were particularly vicious and had hidden themselves into human society.
How many times have we seen the dark red light of the soul but failed to touch it?
As the world develops, the devils’ methods also become more secretive and lethal.
“Just follow along and make sure you learn what you need.”
“I know even if you don’t say it.”
Ray and his party followed the raiding party and reviewed their dungeon strategy.
“Brother Ray, this must be your first time in a dungeon, but you’re having a hard time.”
“Please just keep a close watch behind us.”
“Do you want a snack?”
The raiders were kind to Ray’s party, who was their first dungeon raider.
In their eyes, the new chicks who have just joined the team seem to be following along surprisingly well.
‘Tsk. ‘People from the past were very affectionate.’
It wasn’t like that in modern times. If I did something wrong, I would immediately curse at him.
Pastor Park, who was so kind and benevolent at church, is such a mess in the field.
“Some b*stard put Gensei on Shimai’s board! Pastor Kim, can’t you even hit a falling-out gangster with a short sword? Nail it into the rivet and attach it as an amulet!”
It was a place where lives were at stake, so if you made a mistake, you were immediately met with a barrage of curses.
‘Who knew that the way to deal with zombies and gangshi would be different? Later on, the guy who put the G-virus or something in there will fly around a lot, but how can I put a talisman on him?’
Anyway, it was Pastor Park who took people to the field and said that even though he worked so hard, he still had a lot to teach.
How can a man in his 70s have such good energy?
“But when it comes to ancient ruins, isn’t it time for traps or something like that to appear? That’s usually the case.”
“Don’t sound anxious. Everything you say becomes a seed.”
“Usually, if you grope a wall like this, arrows or spears will just pop out, etc.”
“You better be careful.”
Just when I thought that, it hit me! I heard an anxious sound.
Wow!
A barrage of spears and arrows raining down from the wall. These were traps where anyone would be skewered and killed instantly.
Papapak!
But primitive traps never harmed the priests.
This is thanks to the fact that a protective shield is applied through choirs and powers frequently during the waiting time.
In the end, spears and arrows were scattered meaninglessly on the ground. Paladin Sir Felic shouted.
“Who are you? I told you to be careful!”
“Lord Felix! Over there!”
The gaze moves in the direction pointed by a priest.
There, a monster was pressing on the wall that appeared to be a trap trigger.
“The monsters are activating the trap!”
There were more than one such monster.
A mole-shaped monster or a bug monster the size of an arm ignored the priests and rushed towards the trap.
“Stop it!”
The attack team, realizing the monsters’ intentions, quickly killed them.
Ray also fired his crossbow at the flying bugs, but most of his attempts were in vain.
A vain result considering that dozens of monsters were sacrificed. But just one. Their goals were different.
Slam!
When you press the trap, a magic circle spreads out on the floor. Sir Felix’s response was quick.
“Deploy a protective barrier under your feet! Prepare for impact!”
Priests who deploy a protective barrier at once with quick judgment and quick action.
It is a protective barrier that boasts powerful defense power. Although there may be differences, it was a time when I was relieved that even Alpha Demonic could not penetrate Campbell from the front.
“Lord Felix?”
Sir Felix disappears before your eyes. That’s not all.
“sleep···!”
“Brother!”
One by one, they disappear at a rapid pace. As if it had transferred somewhere.
Aaron, who realized its identity, urgently shouted.
“It’s a space war! Hold each other’s hands!”
“Uh, uh! Master?”
Aaron grabbed Jenny’s hand. At the same time, Henry stretched out his hand, and Ophelia also pulled Ray’s hand and held Jenny’s hand.
The next moment, Ray and the others were transported somewhere at the same time.
***
“Oh my gosh…”
Ray came to his senses, struggling to swallow his rumbling stomach.
“Where are we again…?”
It was a narrow and dark passage. So much so that you can’t tell even an inch in front of you without a torch.
“Is everyone okay?”
“Hehehe, he’s alive.”
“I’m alive too!”
“Oh, where was my shield?”
We turn on the lights in the dark and check each other’s appearances.
Fortunately, no one was left behind and all got into one place.
“Thanks to you, I survived, Aaron. How did you know?”
“I read it in my mother’s strategy record. When using space transfer, if they are in contact with each other, they move to the same place.”
“You’re very knowledgeable, master~”
“Even when you’re like this…”
“Thank you.”
“hmm······.”
Aaron made an awkward expression and looked around.
“Monsters activate traps on their own.”
“It’s definitely different from a regular dungeon.”
“First of all, I think we need to figure out where this is. The passage is sloping and it looks like the path is designed to go down.”
As Jenny said, the passage where Ray and his group fell was a sloping passage.
It’s hard to go up, but easy to go down… It’s a place where it’s clearly a one-way street.
“I don’t know, but there’s a good chance it’s a trap. It’s not possible to do what the opponent originally intended.”
“Brother Ray is right. Even if it’s a little too much of a stretch, how about going up from here?”
Crash.
An ominous sound came from beneath Henry’s feet.
The fifteen-year-old boy apologized with a half-crying face.
“S-sorry.”
“Calm down. We need to know what the trap is!”
“Space transfer again? Master! Take my hand!”
“Ray! Take my hand!”
Two women reaching out at the same time. They were two people who caught it unexpectedly, but even as time passed, there was no sign of the space transfer magic circle operating under their feet.
“I don’t think space transfer is…?”
“I guess so. It’s hot, let go.”
Ray and Aaron looked around, wary of another trap. At that time, a strange sound came from above.
Kugugoogung!
“Brother Ray! Something is coming!”
“No… no, really?”
That classic trap exists in this world too?
“Uh, over there!”
The direction Jenny pointed. To be precise, something black is approaching from the top of the slope we were told to climb.
A huge sphere that perfectly fits the width of the passage.
A very stereotypical trap that I encountered when searching for the Holy Ark hidden by the Nazis.
“Run down!”
If you get crushed by that rock, you die instantly.
I couldn’t expect a place to hide like in other games.
“aaahhh!”
“Damn it! Run!”
It was a time when four people were running away, saying, “Save me!”
“I’ll try to stop it!”
“Miss Ophelia?!”
Ophelia suddenly stops running and counter-charges towards the falling rock.
“No, that will do! How much does that weigh?”
“I’ll show you the power of the Auror Blade!”
Ophelia flashed her Auror Blade and aimed it at the rock.
Ophelia’s aura shone so ominously that it illuminated the dark passageway.
Yes, this is more of a fantasy world.
A sword expert who is called a superhuman would be able to break through a rock trap head-on!
“Oh. This won’t work.”
Ophelia, who had climbed the ramp with great vigor, came straight back.
Perhaps because he is a sword expert, he changes his stance very quickly.
“Miss Ophelia! They said they would stop it!”
“It’s not a rock! It’s made of iron!”
Is the trap made entirely of iron? How much money did ancient wizards have!
With no option to attack head-on, the group ran towards the ramp.
“Run!”
But it’s late.
A person’s steps could not be faster than an iron ball sliding down a ramp.
“Damn it! Try something!”
“What are you going to do about me!”
“Among those strange hymns you usually sing, is there anything that blocks iron balls?”
“Are you sure!”
The power of hymn is not omnipotent, and if you just sing it, it will not solve the situation like a magic wand.
“Huh? Wait!”
Ray remembered something and ran, taking out an item from his luggage. It was the Bible.
“Eclipse Bible!”
“I read the manual carefully.”
The Eclipse Bible is a relic that consumes pages to gain power close to power.
Ray turned the pages of the Bible and found the verse he wanted.
“The Savior Solter is the right path that protects me. The Savior loves me and guides me in His name!”
Place your palm on the page and inject holy power. Then the Bible began to shine, and the pages flew out, blocking the iron ball’s path.
Kwaaa!
The iron ball stops with the roar of a collision.
It was dramatic timing.
“I lived, I lived.”
“Oh my god! You almost got crushed by something like this, didn’t you?”
It almost turned into human jerky.
Although this was her second experience, Ray also breathed a sigh of relief.
“It’s good that you stopped the trap…”
“Now all that’s left is to go down.”
I can’t even see enough space for the pages of the Eclipse Bible to pass through the metal ball blocking it.
In the end, Ray and the others had no choice but to go straight down the designated passageway.
“Ray, the Eclipse Bible.”
“why?”
“It’s used like a consumable, but what happens when it’s used up?”
“Oh, just take it again and fill it up.”
“hmm?”
The Eclipse Bible is a consumable item that functions by consuming pages.
If it were just that, the Eclipse Bible would have been used up long ago and there would be no pages left.
“In the old days, you had to write everything down one by one, but these days, you just stamp it on a metal plate and print it.”
“······Right.”
Ray was a bit surprised when he found out. Although it is a relic with tremendous power, it is cheap to reproduce.
“The real power lies in the leather cover, and what’s inside can be stamped in an appropriate format on paper soaked in holy oil. When I return, I’ll ask for supplies.”
“Well, thanks to you, I survived.”
It was truly a fortunate thing.
Ray has the armor of Saint Germanicus, the Eclipse Bible, and the staff of Master Amelia.
If this is done, any crisis will be able to be overcome with just the power of the holy relic.
“Let’s be careful until we join the others.”
The group soon arrived at an open space connected to the passage.
They say it’s a wizard’s ruins, but its appearance and structure resemble an ant cave. I wonder if this is also a way to exclude intruders.
“Brother Ray, over there…”
Henry, who was looking carefully to see if there were any enemies, discovered something.
There was a doll dragging something.
There was a woman who had been cut into pieces… and an old man with only his head left.
“What the hell is that?”
“Quiet…! I don’t think it’s a doppelganger. There has never been a raid member with that kind of attire and appearance.”
“The armor that corpse is wearing… isn’t it Imperial Army uniform?”
Does that mean the author came here after destroying the Imperial Army’s raiding party?
An Imperial Army raid team with many Sword Experts, no matter how low the level was?
While everyone was speculating that the man’s identity was a wizard, only Ray could not hide his disappointment with his pale complexion.
‘Is that… my doppelganger?’
It’s not just a doppelganger either.
Ray’s previous life was Pastor Kim.
That’s not all.
The doppelganger, a clone of himself from his previous life, was holding items that were very familiar to Ray.
Autograph accident investigation.
Vatican 12 gauge double barrel shotgun.
“crazy······.”
Why are you holding that?
And it’s not just that. The flow of energy that can be felt in Pastor Kim’s suit and arms right now.
These were all familiar energies to Ray.
In other words.
‘Fu, it’s a full item?’
From noble mtl dot come
Full item Pastor Kim.
There he was, armed with national treasure-level relics that he did not have even in his prime.
“······Another one. There are a lot of them.”
At that moment, Pastor Kim’s eyes turned to Ray and his group.
“Ray! I got caught!”
Those eyes were staring straight at someone.
***
“This is crazy…!”
Deep in the dungeon.
Wizard Luca, who was preparing a ritual at the place where the dungeon core was located, was feeling frustrated because he could not stop the overheating dungeon core.
The dungeon core is a huge energy generator.
A huge power machine that generates energy on its own and distributes it to be used throughout the dungeon.
That scale is enough energy to destroy a large city with just one core.
But now, the core is overheating and running away.
Because I only copied one doppelganger.
“The core was fine even after cloning the Saint and the Sword Master. How on earth did this happen?!”
Luca could guess the reason.
This is because he witnessed the battle between the doppelganger and the imperial army as seen through the familiar’s vision.
[No, stop it! shit! What on earth is that!]
[The Sword Expert’s armor is pierced! Don’t defend, avoid!]
[Destroy the paper with that strange picture on it! The magic is activated from there!]
[Don’t smell the smoke from the incense burner! It’s poisonous gas!]
[Ears, ghosts? It’s a ghost!]
The doppelganger, who could not tell who he was copying, used the energy of the dungeon core to create all kinds of bizarre objects.
A separate object that is completely at odds with the principles of this world.
They were devouring the vast energy of the dungeon core and causing it to explode.
“This, like this….”
Isn’t it going to explode?
The wizard trembled as he recalled the worst possible future.
