Paladin of the Dead God - Chapter 96

Episode 96. Liberation Bishop (4)

Isaac remembered what Gebel had said.

‘And I think that someone among the descendants is behind the annihilation of the Avalanche Holy Knights.’

Carlsen was scheduled to become an angel this time, and was even expected to become a famous angel. However, within a few years after the Holy Knights of Avalanche were annihilated without anyone knowing in the outskirts and branded as apostates, Carlsen also became an apostate. Is this a coincidence?

Those words were Gebel’s warning and request.

‘Were the Avalanche Holy Knights also victims of this plan?’

If two seemingly rival religious denominations are collaborating to fill the empty ninth religious position, there is a high probability that such attempts have been in the works for quite some time. It seemed highly likely that the Holy Knights of Avalanche, to which Gebel belonged, were also caught up in it.

And maybe there were more victims.

Like the village that was attacked when Isaac was possessed in this world.

‘Of course, I can’t just believe everything this guy says… … .’

Isaac looked down at Al Duazzad.

There were many parts that I still did not understand, such as why the Paladin of the Code of Light had to become a god with the help of the Immortal Church and why it could not be done from one side only.

“Why are you telling me that so honestly?”

“Ah, Holy Grail Knight. I noticed it when I saw you wearing the shell of the Code of Light. Your hidden strength and ambition. “You are definitely not the type of person to be satisfied with the glory of an ordinary Grail Knight.”

A blue flame flashed inside Al Duazzad’s skull as he stared at Isaac.

“The plan is…” … It hasn’t stopped yet. You can fill that position. “If you have our help.”

“How can the Immortal Church help me?”

Al Duazzad seemed to feel that Isaac was shaken by his words and spoke happily.

“The Immortal Emperor is the only god currently walking this earth, and he is the one who ascended to heaven after performing a ritual to become a god himself. “Our church is the only one who can help, at least with this ritual.”

The Immortal Emperor Beshek, the god and ruler of the Immortal Church, is the most recent to become a god. As the god of the undead who never dies, he lives and moves in this world, and unlike other gods, he constantly reveals and proves his existence.

‘At least it is proven that the Immortal Church even directly intervened with the Immortal Emperor.’

So how far did the Code of Light intervene? Pope? Emperor? Did God intervene here too?

It was something unknown.

The Code of Light is an impersonal deity, but if the cause of preventing nameless chaos is established, it would not be strange if someone intervened.

The Code of Light symbolizes light, wisdom, and order. It is the polar opposite of nameless chaos. If you think about it, nameless chaos is not on good terms with all faiths in the first place.

‘I’m going to break my head.’

Al Duazzad in front of him seemed convinced that Isaac could replace their plan.

Regardless of Isaac’s beliefs or beliefs, as long as he creates God, that’s enough. No, in fact, if you don’t tease her like that, you’re in danger of being torn to pieces, so you have no choice but to say something.

‘But you don’t even think I’m a nameless agent of chaos…’ … .’

If I had found out, I would never have reacted like this.

Isaac thought about the offer to become God. To be honest, he even thought about becoming a Holy Knight and living a life of whining, but he only thought that God had gone too far.

It was an offer that was impossible to accept in the first place.

If they knew Isaac’s identity, everyone would want to eat him right away.

“Tell me how I can help.”

***

Isaac gave Al Duazzad luck and activated the Eye of Chaos. It was to find out whether he was telling the truth and what kind of conspiracy was hidden. He did this because it was easiest to read the thoughts that surfaced when a topic was thrown at him.

But Al Duazzad immediately noticed something strange.

“Before that, let’s start with what god you worship… … for a moment.”

The moment a hint of doubt rose in Al Duazad, Isaac’s green eyes turned purple in the darkness. Sensing that Al-Duazzad’s consciousness was rapidly starting to close, Isaac activated his abilities even more strongly.

“Wait, what is this, no, really?”

Shock, fear, astonishment, confusion.

Isaac could only read brief bursts of emotion from Al Duazzad.

“Tell me everything you know!”

Fear forces the other person to submit and expose themselves. Isaac learned that from Heinkel Gulmar. In order to use a similar method on Al Duazzad, Isaac used the Eye of Chaos to its extreme.

“You, uh, uh, uh.”

The veins in Isaac’s eyes became strong and bloody tears began to flow.

The soul lurking in Al Duazzad’s skull shook convulsively. Eventually, thread-like tentacles began to ooze out of Isaac’s eyes, beyond the blood vessels.

The tentacles went beyond simply flowing out and burrowed into the inside of Al Duazzad’s skull. It was a robbery that had never been used until now for fear of being caught.

As a bishop-level priest, Al Duazzad was also skilled at closing ceremonies. However, no method was of any use against this physical and physical encroachment. Isaac felt his memories seeping out in fragments amidst the confusion and fear of Al-Du’Azad.

The tentacles squeezed out information like roots greedily extracting underground water.

However, Al-Duazzad did not become a bishop for nothing. He knew what to do in this situation.

Even if it’s something you don’t want, you act reflexively.

“────.”

Jjiiiing. For a moment, Isaac felt a tinnitus that made his ears hurt. He was hearing a prayer coming out of Al Dua Jad at an unbelievably fast pace.

It was a prayer in tongues.

A prayer that comes out of your subconscious, not of your own will, or when an angel comes.

“Master Isaac!”

Hesabel’s urgent voice was heard.

Isaac felt white frost freeze around Al Duazzad. It was a fast and strong chill that was incomparable to the previous attack. Isaac hurriedly tried to cancel his eyes of chaos and retreat, but his consciousness was already too deeply connected to Al-Du’Azad.

What Al Duazzad thought and said was on the same level as what Isaac thought and said.

Because of this, Isaac was able to know what Al Duazzad was doing even though he was unconscious.

Al-Duazzad was trying to bring the afterlife to earth.

‘This is crazy.’

Beat, beat, beat.

Isaac tried to stop Al Duazzad’s prayer by breaking his skull. However, before he could even touch his hand, Al-Duazzad’s skull, which had already activated an uncontrollable miracle, shattered on its own. Only a few pieces of rattling teeth completed the echo of the prayer in tongues.

“Everyone get out of here right now… … .”

Isaac grabbed Phantom Steed’s reins and immediately tried to run away, but his knees gave out and he fell.

Isaac was taken aback by the change that had occurred to him.

why?

There was no reason for him to be this vulnerable just because the afterlife of the Immortal Church was coming.

As for the afterlife of the Immortal Church, it would be about the same level as the cold weather and the summoning of large armies of ghosts and undead. Because the afterlife of the Immortal Church is already on earth.

Those who forcibly brought the afterlife down to earth are the true identity of the Immortal Church.

Even now, ghosts were crawling up from the ground.

However, Isaac saw something emerging among the ghosts and realized that the change that had occurred to him had nothing to do with the afterlife of the Immortal Church. He was not weakened by the Immortal Church.

A man in yellow clothes was looking at Isaac.

Isaac’s nightmare was coming true.

***

The sky was tilted and trembled, as if it was about to collapse, and dark red fingers were stirring the clouds like children. Is that sound that shakes with the wind but does not seem like the wind at all? Is it the laughter of a child, or the bleating of a flock of sheep anxious in the middle of the night? All the insects and livestock crawling on the ground had a rotting smell and all had odd legs. In an asymmetry where everything is unbalanced and dangerous and about to collapse.

A man in yellow clothes was looking at Isaac.

Isaac felt dizzy, like he was going to throw up.

Isaac could not determine the identity of the author. While playing the game, he saw endings, dead scenes, and bad endings countless times, but there was nothing like that anywhere.

‘Nightmare… … ‘Why now?’

The surrounding area was devastated thanks to the afterlife that Al Duazzad had opened up. However, the afterlife of the Immortal Church was nothing compared to the unholy and bizarre world that teemed beyond.

It seemed like those disgusting and strange things would at any moment seep into Isaac’s ankles like the tide in the night.

Isaac’s sense of reality was already far away.

[Nameless Chaos is watching you.]

[Nameless Chaos is watching you.]

[Nameless Chaos is watching you.]

The nameless chaos continued to send out alarm sounds whose meaning was unknown, whether it was joy or warning. Paradoxically, the sound was what helped Isaac regain his senses. In this world where he felt like he could fall into it at any moment, that notification sound gave Isaac a little bit of objectivity.

This world is nothing more than a game, and how many times have you cleared that game?

Don’t get overly immersed in games or anything like that! You are my chosen player!

‘Just a game.’

Isaac thought like that and tried to regain consciousness. Then the man in yellow stretched out his hand toward Isaac. At the same time, an eerie sound like a trumpet or a flute rang out, and Isaac felt that even the sound in his ears had disappeared.

Nightmares were flooding in.

‘ah.’

Isaac saw that his hand was strangely deformed. Tentacles were extending out in an uncontrolled manner. Isaac felt a change take place throughout his body.

Tentacles were wriggling inside my body as if a balloon was about to burst at any moment.

He said he fell asleep for a very long time. It’s time to wake up.

‘Is this the end?’

Isaac felt there was no way to stop him anymore.

But at that time, while everything was falling apart, becoming unbalanced, and feeling like it was going to collapse.

There was a lone, clear figure approaching through the nightmare.

“Isaac! “Isaac, Grail Knight!”

Between the underworld and this world, between nightmare and chaos, she was the only one who maintained order. In her distant consciousness, Isaac saw the identity of the Hwi-gwang that enveloped her body.

Furnace beast. Code of Light. Follower of Order.

The divine beast born from the ashes was protecting her.

But something even more upright was anchoring her like an anchor in this chaos.

“Isaac Isacrea!”

Isaac wanted to get closer to her.

I wanted to get out of this chaos and move toward order and goodwill without hesitation. Isolde came closer. Isaac reflexively stretched out her hand toward her.

My left hand has become a bundle of tentacles.

Isolde was shocked when she saw the hand, but quickly grabbed it and pulled it tightly.

Isaac was held in Isolde’s arms without resistance. At the same time, Isaac entered the realm of light.

At the same time, everything became clear and returned to the realm of stable order. The landscape of the world, which had collapsed, frozen, and melted, was put back into place.

And Isolde’s face filled with embarrassment appeared before my eyes.

“What kind of mess is this… … .”

“The explanation is… … “Let’s do it later.”

As soon as Isaac emerged from the chaos, he immediately activated the Sentinel’s Lighthouse.

The highest miracle among the miracles in the Code of Light. The pinnacle of order that can determine what is right and wrong in the area where light reaches.

The light of the halo that rose above Isaac’s head instantly drove away the afterlife of the Immortal Church and the realm of chaos that originated from Isaac.

Isaac stared at the chaos disappearing like a haze in a brilliant flash.

A man in yellow clothes with no visible face was waving his hand.

As if we’ll see each other again next time.
