I Became a Fake Priest the Saintess Is Obsessed With - Chapter 98
98 – A lotus flower blooming beneath the surface of the water (1)
It is an unfamiliar ceiling.
Ha, I guess I’ll stop talking about this now.
“How many times do you faint and how many times do you regain consciousness?”
I got out of bed grumbling.
The last thing I remember is using the mirror and the power of the past to kill Leviathan and collapse.
At least I woke up in the bedroom with my body intact, so it seems that Byeolju did not recognize me as an enemy.
Then where is this place?
As I looked around, I made eye contact with a handsome young man with blue hair and green eyes who was sitting next to me.
So Potter Mine Seiden, the priest of the Sea God Church, smiled brightly and waved his hand.
“You’re awake, priest.”
“Priest Seiden? This place… “
From Noble mtl dot com
“Rest assured. “This is the hospital room in the Dragon Palace. The general of the Byeolju Army overthrew the priest and brought him here.”
It is the hospital room of the Dragon Palace… It’s exactly what I expected.
I had already realized that it was a hospital room when I saw that the surroundings were filled with pure white objects.
In my previous life, I was in the position of taking care of a patient in a hospital room with Eve, but now it’s like I’m lying down in a hospital room on a fake day…
Suddenly, my life as Ivan was hit hard.
“hahahaha. You don’t look good. Is something wrong?”
“No… It’s not a big deal, but suddenly the life of a weakling is so sad… “I want to.”
Saden laughed out loud at my words.
“hahahahaha! It’s a joke too! It’s funny that the person who caught Leviathan single-handedly was a weakling! So may I ask how he caught that demon beast?”
Uh…
I was speechless at his question.
Of course, it was clearly me who caught Leviathan.
Although they cooperated with the Byeolju Army, they were actually useless, so it was right to catch them alone.
But… It’s difficult to say that I caught it.
If you ask me how I caught Leviathan.
I can’t tell anyone about the power of the mirror in case I meet the Demon King, and I’m not confident that I can convince them that I captured Leviathan through any other special method.
It is impossible to instill the possibility that a mid-level priest captured Leviathan.
At that time, Dagon’s magic power, still within my body, spoke to me.
[It is said that the hero’s will can be said to have been helped by a great hero]
Ah.
It is a power that will soon disappear, but until now, Dagon’s magic remains in my body.
If I do as Dagon says, there is a possibility that I have captured Leviathan.
After finding a way to make Seiden stand out, I immediately prepared a realistic performance.
“That’s it… I also don’t know how I caught Leviathan… “
“Yes?”
I racked my brain as if I was trying to remember.
“I was attacked by Leviathan and came to my senses in a strange cave. I touched the harpoon of the statue with Dagon written on it… The next time I came to, it was after I had hunted Leviathan… “
“Dagon… !”
When the name of the ancient hero came up, Seiden was shocked.
I tilted my head as if I knew nothing.
“Do you know anything about that statue?”
“Of course! Dagon, he was the hero of ancient Liye and the Dragon King’s strong right hand man! Fighting numerous monsters with a harpoon… “
Seyden began talking about Dagon’s dance.
I knew all this, but he was so excited that he ignored my words that he could stop, so I just listened to everything.
‘Ah… The ear scabs are falling off. ‘What kind of Dagon otaku are you?’
[It is said that a hero’s will will inevitably have those who follow him]
‘I don’t like people who follow me like that… ‘
I had a conversation with Dagon, with Sayden’s words flowing through one ear.
“Huh… Excuse me. Even after all this, I have great respect for Dagon.”
“Oh, yes, it looks like that.”
“Huh? I think you’re being sarcastic… “
“hahahaha… “How could it be a shame to respect a hero?”
After a few words with Dagon, Sayden came to his senses.
“Anyway, it appears that the ‘Hero’s Will’ intervened when Priest Ivan captured Leviathan.”
“The will of a hero… ?”
[The hero’s will is the hero’s will!]
Are you talking about this thing that keeps talking to you in the status window?
“Yes, the ‘hero’s will’ refers to the will left by a hero recognized by the world right before his death. “It is about leaving the will to achieve what the hero could not accomplish during his lifetime and leaving it to future generations.”
“Then Dagon’s will is… “
“Dagon fought a bloody battle with Leviathan for three days. After a bloody battle, he succeeded in defeating Leviathan, but he lost the strength to finish it and died in battle… I think that Dagon’s will to kill Leviathan was imbued in the priest and he hunted Leviathan.”
Well, you made a reasonable deduction.
Actually, I just caught it with my own strength.
You shouldn’t say that, right?
“I see… The will of a hero is touching… “
[The hero’s will says he is quite amazing]
‘Be quiet. ‘Can’t you see I’m acting now?’
I hid my true feelings and pretended to be moved.
“hahahaha. “I can’t thank Ivan enough for creating a mess in the ocean floor for such a long time.”
“No. “It was Dagon’s will that defeated Leviathan, I did nothing.”
“You are humble. However, it is probably not a coincidence that the hero’s will resides in the priest.”
“It’s not a coincidence,,,?”
“Yes. The hero’s will does not select people on a first-come, first-served basis. “I’m sure Dagon liked something about you and entrusted you to him.”
If you like something…
‘Can I ask what you liked about me?’
[The hero’s will is shyly answered as a secret]
If it’s a secret, it’s just a secret. What’s the shy secret?
When I thought of the person who appears as a muscular man in a fairy tale or a statue shyly saying it was a secret, I felt like something came up inside me.
Ha, anyway, how long will I be lying in the hospital bed this time?
I think it would be good if I didn’t lie down for a few months like last time…
“Could you please tell me how long I will have to stay in the hospital bed?”
I asked Seiden next to me out of anxiety.
“When I checked my physical condition, there were no special abnormalities, so you can move right away. Well, if you want to rest for a few days, you can keep lying down.”
“Oh, I see. Then we will move right away. “I thought my companions would be waiting for me.”
“I put my belongings in a basket next to me. And… “Please take this.”
Seiden rummaged through the cloth clothes he was wearing and handed over a small flower-shaped brooch.
“This…” “
I stared at it.
[Lotus flower blooming below the surface of the water: Accessories made from lotus flowers hidden beneath the surface of the water to avoid sunlight]
[Holy Purification: Provides immunity to some poisons and contaminated mana.

Hmm… I don’t know if it has a pure heart, but it’s a pretty good magic tool thanks to its sacred heart.
But why did Seiden give this to me?
I looked back and forth between Sayden and Brunch.
“It’s nothing special, it’s a gift. “As a fan of Dagon, this is a gift to you for completing his will.”
“I see. “I will accept it gratefully.”
“hehehe… you’re welcome.”
I took my things in the basket and the gift that Seiden gave me and left the hospital room.
***
“Huh… ! “I’m gone, I’m gone~”
A long time after Ivan left the hospital room, Seiden stretched out his bloated body.
“The priest is gone, so please come out. I think we’ll have a lot to talk about. “Us~”
As he muttered into the air, the shadow beneath his feet stirred.
A hand wearing a white glove emerged from Seiden’s shadow, gradually revealing the clown within it to the world.
“Ki hit! “I have a lot to say!”
Finally, Vlady Pierre appeared from the shadows.
“Huh, you make a big splash~”
“Ki hit! “As a clown, that sounds great!”
“Well, it doesn’t matter since the meaning is similar. Anyway, how was it? Ivan Ira.”
Sayden knew what this clown had entered into the Devil’s Church for.
In order to create a hero, he approached the enemy demon king army who betrayed the seven major religions, and was deciding who would become the hero.
The person Pierre had his eye on was Ivan Ira.
Pierre asked Pottermine Seiden to check Ivan’s qualifications.
In order to help Pierre, Seiden deliberately weakened Leviathan’s guard and sent out only about half of the Byeolju army that was stationed there to suppress.
“Kihihi!!! It was great! The Chaos God also wants him to become a warrior! “I wanted to push him too!”
“Hmm… Well, he definitely seemed a little special just because he was chosen by Daingon. But I wonder if he’s someone you can be that excited about~”
“Ki hit! That’s because you haven’t seen his real face yet! “Look at his essence and you will be excited too!”
“Um~ Is that so~?”
Saden listened to Pierre’s words appropriately.
This was because he believed that it was not good to listen to the clown’s words so carefully.
