Episode 95. Liberation Bishop (3)

The sword technique was the most representative miracle of the Elil Church.

As expected of those who worshiped Elil, who had ascended to the position of transcendental person, the Elil Church was made up of only warriors who were focused on fame and competition. Among them, the sword technique was a miracle granted only to the highest-ranking warriors selected among them.

But there was no time to think more deeply. Isaac’s sparkling eyes turned to Al Duazzad. Al Dua Jad, who felt the eerieness of a wild beast licking its prey in those eyes, reflexively began to recite his prayer.

The cold that had gripped Isaac’s body became even stronger. The cold now took on a visual form and clung to Isaac. Blue handprints and frost formed all over his body, and even his skin began to turn blue. It was a miracle of intensity that had been restrained for fear of capturing the Dullahan’s movements.

Al Duazzad was performing three miracles simultaneously through extreme concentration. He summoned the chill of the underworld, used the ghosts to bind them, and prepared another instant death prayer that would crush Isaac’s heart in one go.

‘Please let it end like this… … !’

But at that moment, Isaac violently swung his left hand and shook off the ghosts. There was no way the ghosts would fall away like that, but something that couldn’t have happened unfolded before Al Duazad’s eyes.

“No, what?!”

The ghosts that were attached to Isaac’s arms did not fall, but were scattered into pieces as if they had been torn apart. The ghosts screamed and scattered into the air, as if they had been struck by a divine miracle.

Al Duazzad belatedly felt the divinity vibrating ominously in Isaac’s left hand.

‘A miracle in your left hand? ‘No, is that a miracle?’

Twisting in the dark was something quivering with long, unpredictable movements. There was a deep, dark power there, but the divinity was clearly felt.

In the past, when dealing with spiritual beings like Goluwaru, tentacles did not work. However, the tentacle was finally able to ‘miraculously’ defeat the ghost with its divinity.

Now the tentacles have begun to contain divine power.

On the other hand, Al Duazzad’s already rotten heart felt like it was about to explode. A man known as a Paladin of the Code of Light uses the miracles of Elil, and even sinister miracles of unknown origin. But fortunately, Isaac was still caught in the cold and could not take his feet properly.

At that time, Isaac grabbed the reins of the horse that was lying dead.

At the same time, Isaac’s body was thrown out as if it had been thrown out. Al Duazad, who saw this, could not help but be shocked once again.

“Phantom Steed? Where else… … !”

Ugh.

The Phantom Steed that Isaac obtained after defeating the Blood Knight ran towards him, making an ominous sound of hoofs. Just as the red flesh was clearly exposed when being controlled by the Blood Knight, the Phantom Steed being controlled by Isaac had a completely different appearance from then. It seemed as if imperfect, irregular nervous tissue was clumsily imitating speech.

An ordinary person would have been so frightened by just seeing that figure that they would have been unable to do anything. However, Al Duah Jad calmly completed his final miracle.

“… … And finally, you poured the blood from the Holy Grail onto the floor!”

An instant death curse that squeezes and explodes the heart from all directions.

Just like before, there was no way to avoid this.

The force of death appeared in a physical form. The grass and trees turned black around Isaac as he rushed forward, immediately putting pressure on him.

But at that moment, Isaac’s body turned into red mist.

Isaac and Phantom Steed, who turned into red mist, passed through the instant death curse, seemingly in vain. Al Duazzad recognized it as the Red Petition, a miracle from the Red Grail Club, but there was nothing he could do now.

Bye. The moment the red mist took Isaac’s form again, the key to Ruad-Din lightly hit his neck.

***

It wasn’t long before Al Duazzad came to his senses again.

The body couldn’t be seen and only the skull was in someone’s hand, but it wasn’t a big problem. He had been brought back from even more terrible conditions. Losing his body wasn’t much of a problem. Because most of his body was no longer his own.

At that time, I heard someone’s voice from behind my head.

“I faint at the sight of nothing but skulls.”

“It’s because the soul leaves the body momentarily.”

Isaac’s voice was also heard from somewhere.

Al Duazzad supplemented his explanation.

“yes. So, surprisingly, we faint from time to time for that reason. Could it be said to be a side effect of loosening the bonds between body and spirit? Of course, like this time, even fatal injuries can end in fainting.”

At those words, the woman behind her bent down and looked down at Al Duazad. The person holding Al Duazzad’s skull was someone he also knew.

“… … She is a girl from the Gulmar family. How have you been?”

“I don’t know you. “Because all skeletons look the same.”

“I agree to some extent. But once you get used to it, you will be able to find beauty in the skeleton as well. Surprisingly, there are quite a few people like that.”

Jeez. Al Duazzad was not given time to chat at length. Someone walked in front of him and sat down.

It was Isaac.

Al Duazzad, who was trying to show him some composure, was unable to open his mouth for some reason. In any case, the undead do not vibrate their vocal cords, but make their voices through mental waves.

Isaac also just looked at Al Duazad in silence. But it was clear that it was for a completely different reason than Al Duazzad.

Al Duazzad did not know why he was still alive. It was a well-known fact that even with only his skull remaining, he could recite prayers and even bite his teeth.

But Al Duazzad did not dare to do any of them.

I wasn’t sure if all my attempts would work on Isaac, or even if the Isaac in front of me was human. Clearly, the person in front of him was a human being with arms and legs and normal eyes, nose, and mouth, but to Al Duazad, it all seemed unnatural and eerie.

‘Are they raising monsters in the Code of Light? Or is he an angel who borrowed human flesh?’

Al Duazad felt chills as he made eye contact with those emotionless eyes.

He unfolded the miracle of the Immortal Church, ‘The List’, without Isaac knowing. This miracle, which could look into the soul of the living, was able to look into not only the lifespan of the other person, but also the purity, emotional state, strength, and even the god who protects the soul through the qualitative state of the soul.

However, when Al Duazad looked at Isaac through the list, he felt even more uneasy.

I couldn’t even look at Isaac.

Of course, this could have been possible if anyone was protected by some powerful god or angel. But Isaac went beyond that and was ‘devouring’ everything around him.

Be it power, technology, or even information.

But it was Isaac’s emotional state that made Al Duazzad tremble.

‘Even after such an intense battle, I don’t feel any sense of elevation, excitement, or even anger.’

I heard that this could be the case for high-level warriors, but it was likely that there would be feelings of contempt, disgust, and minor discomfort when facing someone of a different faith, or when facing someone who will soon fight. But Isaac didn’t even have that.

It was natural that Al Duazzad felt uneasy at Isaac’s gaze.

Isaac did not see him as a bishop of the Immortal Church or an enemy who risked his life in battle, but rather as a cold calculation of experience points.

‘This is absolutely useless.’

[This object is not valuable as a predation target.]

Isaac had already feasted on Al Duazzad’s body. The tentacles chewed and swallowed the bony body as if it were boring, but the only message was that it was not very nutritious.

‘Lich have no predation value? Is it because bones have no nutritional value, or do special rules apply to undead?’

It wasn’t that there were no results.

If you defeat Al Duazad, you will receive a reward from Nameless Chaos, and in addition, obtaining Al Duazad’s Great Britain was a great achievement. It was a sacred relic of considerable value.

As Isaac remained silent, Heshabel became bored and spoke up.

“Should we torture him to open his mouth?”

“These guys have no sense of pain. “There is no use in torturing him.”

As Isaac said that, he looked at Hesabel as if he were dumbfounded.

“Shouldn’t you, like no one else, know about the Immortal Church? “The Walaika Kingdom is the territory of the Black Empire.”

“We just agree politically, but we’re not really close friends, right?”

Actually, Isaac knew it too.

The Red Grail Club and the Immortal Church are both groups that reject death. However, while the Red Grail Club is a group of aesthetes who cannot give up physical pleasure, the goal of the Immortal Church is to escape physical pain and restraint and reach a completely equal society.

There is no way the meaning is correct.

They were just holding hands in front of a bigger enemy, the Baekje Empire, who could not tolerate them.

Isaac squatted down in front of Al Duazzad. It wouldn’t have mattered if he caught and ate it like this, but since he knew that there was no nutritional value in feasting on it, he felt regretful about just eating it.

Only then did Al Duazzad open his mouth.

“Who are you to subjugate the heir of the Gulmar family, deflect even the curse of death, and deceive the Code of Light? “Whose voice did you come to this world to represent?”

“It’s not even a cult.”

Al Duazzad asked as if he had given up.

“Are you trying to ask why I wanted to take the furnace master?”

“I guess they were trying to use him to create a god, but things went wrong, so they tried to take him away. take no interest.”

Al Duazzad’s mouth opened wide.

Although he couldn’t express his expression, anyone could tell that he was shocked. In fact, Isaac had no questions to ask. To Isaac, who knew the entire story line of Nameless Chaos anyway, it was obvious why Al Duazzad was hanging around here.

“I guess it was you who dispatched priests to resurrect ancient gods here and there. “We were trying to make Carlsen Milter a god, but he suddenly disappeared, so it looks like we’re having a hard time fixing things up.”

Al Duazzad was so shocked that he didn’t even know what excuse to make. Although some people had some idea of ​​the resurrection of the ancient gods, the plan to create a god was carried out in great secrecy even within the Immortal Church.

“But why are you trying to create a god? “You don’t understand that.”

Isaac cleared Nameless Chaos several times, but he did not know why the ‘Carlsen God Creation Plan’, which started all these events, started and why it failed.

Originally, Isaac wasn’t that interested, but since he had set foot in it and was inevitably following its footsteps, he felt like he should know.

“It’s too grandiose and dangerous to just want to terrorize the Baekje Kingdom. If you want to create an alliance, you can do it within your own land. But why did you try to create a god within the territory of the Baekje Empire?”

Heshabel also stared blankly at Isaac with her mouth open as she heard this story for the first time.

Al Duazzad was perplexed, wondering how much Isaac knew. But at the same time, I was certain that he was not a Paladin of the Code of Light.

If he was sent by the Angel of the Code of Light, or if he was an angel himself, there was no way he would have known, and it was a fact that even high-ranking members of the church could know.

And more than anything, I remembered the fact that Isaac was using all kinds of strange miracles whose identity I could not figure out. That fact made Al Duazzad aware of incredible possibilities.

“Because there must always be nine faiths in the world.”

The moment Al Duazzad thought of that possibility, his mouth opened.

“Nine faiths? That’s it… … .”

“The barbaric ancient beliefs were defeated and a new era began in the world under the leadership of the Code of Light. “With the Immortal Church as the last, nine orders were created to stabilize the world.”

Code of Light, Elil, Hearth of the World, Golden Idol, Salt Council, Orkhan Discipline, Red Chalice, Church of the Immortals.

And nameless chaos.

These nine religions are called the nine faiths.

However, nameless chaos does not have a religious name like God. This was because the name of the church was forgotten as its believers were wiped out. Isaac felt that there was a contradiction in Al Duazzad’s words.

“Not the eight faiths?”

“There are eight left, but the ninth spot must be filled.”

“You need to fill the position?”

“yes. Or the dead god might come back and try to take his place.”

Al Duazzad said while looking at Isaac.

“Noble Grail Knight. Do you know that your sacred ministry is now endangering the great gods? We never know when the dead chaos will flood again and invade this world.”

It was only after Isaac heard those words that he realized what the Immortal Church’s conspiracy was. They did not try to make Carlsen a god within the territory of the Baekje Empire with the intention of screwing over the Baekje Empire. They were only trying to hastily fill the empty ninth seat of power and prevent the original owner of the seat from returning.

Nameless chaos.

“Why did we try to create a god within the Baekje Kingdom? “Shouldn’t we first ask why it was Carlsen?”

Isaac was now able to answer Al Duazzad’s question himself.

This was because there were people within the Code of Light who collaborated with the Immortal Church.

By lending a territory filled with humans and divinity who achieved the most god-like achievements of their time.
